“Understood.”

“By the way, have you contacted everyone on that list?”

“I’ve recruited a few, and they’re all very outstanding talents. How did you come up this list?”

“The guys on the list are all on the Science and Technology Research Institute’s assassination list.”

Hearing this answer, Feng Qi was enlightened.

The name list that Li Xingchen gave him allowed him to recruit many like-minded people, helping Breaking Dawn to quickly grow.

The only regret he had was that there were no human hidden forces contacting him at this stage.

He could understand this.

Every human hidden force must have their own plan to save the world. It was obviously very risky to contact him at this time. It might cause their plan to fail completely.

What he needed to do now was to continue to increase the strength and influence of Breaking Dawn and let those hidden forces see hope of overthrowing the Science and Technology Research Institute.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at Li Xingchen and smiled.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. It doesn’t feel safe to stay outside.”

“Where are you staying now?” Li Xingchen asked curiously.

“I don’t have a fixed place. I change places every day. I’ve been living in the sewers recently. It’s relatively safe there.”

“That’s really hard work.” Li Xingchen grinned. There was no sympathy on his face.

“As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Why don’t I stay at your house for the night?”

“Don’t harm me.” The smile on Li Xingchen’s face instantly froze.

After chatting for a while, Feng Qi stood up and walked out of the bar. After walking along the street he came from for a while, he turned into a dark alley and disappeared.

In the following days, Feng Qi laid low with Breaking Dawn.

Three months later, he received a sensational news from Breaking Dawn’s external investigators.

Li Xingchen and more than ten core members of the Future Research Institute had been arrested.

They had been convicted as human traitors in the trial and would be publicly executed at the Future City Execution Ground three days later.

Feng Qi was stunned when he heard this news.

In his opinion, Li Xingchen’s sudden exposure was suspicious.

Although he was restrained by the domain faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute, the power in his hands could not be underestimated.

Even if he couldn’t defeat the domain faction behind the Science and

Technology Research Institute, he could cause a lot of trouble and make them pay the price.

However, the current situation was that Li Xingchen was about to be executed, but there was no movement from the Future Research Institute.

More importantly, the Science and Technology Research Institute was only executing a dozen people, including Li Xingchen.

However, there were definitely more than ten people in the Future Research Institute who followed Li Xingchen to secretly resist the Science and Technology Research Institute.

There seemed to be a lot going on here.

Confused, he immediately contacted the members of the organization and began to investigate Li Xingchen’s exposure.

In the following days, nearly half of the members of Breaking Dawn were dispatched to gather information.

From the subsequent reports, Feng Qi learned that the Science and Technology Research Institute had more than ten charges against Li Xingchen. The three most serious were:

1. Murdering his teacher, who was also the previous director of the Future Research Institute.
2. Secretly submitted to a domain faction and attempted to subvert human civilization.
3. Colluded with Breaking Dawn in secret to hinder the development of the Science and Technology Research Institute and attempted to control the entire Future Research Institute for his own use.

There were many other crimes, and every one of them was enough to sentence Li Xingchen to death.

However, Feng Qi could not find the answer to why Li Xingchen had been exposed.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the streets of Future City were empty. The residents opened the official live-stream software of Future City.

The scene of the live-stream was at Future City No. 1 Execution Ground.

Before Li Xingchen was escorted to the scene, the area around the execution platform was already surrounded by the residents of Future City.

When they found out about Li Xingchen’s actions from the official announcement, they gritted their teeth in hatred. They waited for Li Xingchen, the human traitor, to be brought to justice.

At this moment, Feng Qi, who was wearing a windbreaker, blended into the crowd and waited quietly.

He was unwilling to accept Li Xingchen’s ending.

However, he was powerless to change anything.

At this stage, Breaking Dawn could not fight the Science and Technology Research Institute at all.

Fighting the enemy with passion was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock. In the end, they would end up in pieces.

He had an even more important mission to continue in this sacrifice timeline. He could not fall here.

However, after spending two years together, he still came to send this friend off.

For safety reasons, he made slight adjustments to his body, including his face, with the help of a disguise master from Breaking Dawn.

While waiting, Li Xingchen was escorted to the execution ground by two city guards.

His clothes were in tatters, and a large portion of the machinery on his body was destroyed. He looked very miserable.

The two city guards escorted him to the metal chair and sat him down. They tied him to the chair with special chains and put a metal hat on his head.

Li Xingchen was going to receive the spiritual punishment.

The spiritual punishment was somewhat similar to the electrocution before the calamity. The difference was that the energy released was a special Spiritual Qi extracted from high-purity spiritual ore mines.

When this Spiritual Qi entered the body, the consciousness of the person would quickly be devoured and they would die. The process was painful.

On the spiritual punishment chair, Li Xingchen looked expressionlessly at the angry citizens in front of him..
