Chapter 318: The Betrayer: Lu Changkong
The moonlight was hazy, and the shadows of the trees were dancing.
In the quiet dense forest outside the future supply area, a team of hundreds of people crossed the mountains and arrived.
Their goal this time was a field field more than a hundred miles away.
This field field was close to the future city supply area and was one of the many barrier fields that blocked the future city and the star city.
The members of the team were all wearing very advanced technological equipment.
While rushing along the way, the terrain survey drone above their heads kept scanning the terrain ahead, and then fed back to the tablet in the hands of the team leader.
The soldiers in the team were all wearing tailor-made exoskeleton armor, running in the dense forest area with complex terrain, which effectively alleviated physical exhaustion.
The night vision goggles worn on their faces allowed them to see clearly in the dark environment.
After running for a while, the leader "Lu Changkong" suddenly stopped, and the rest of the Wolf-eating War Corps members behind him also stopped when they saw this.
"Replenish your energy!"
Upon hearing his order, the team members immediately took out a pill from the convenient waist bag they carried with them, stuffed it into their mouths, and then swallowed it.
The compressed energy pill quickly decomposed in the body.
The cool energy swept through the body, and the fatigue quickly dissipated.
After a short rest, the Wolf-eating Regiment continued to rush towards the target location.
While advancing quickly, Lu Changkong kept scanning the front with a solemn expression.
This mission came very suddenly, and he was only given three days to prepare.
The task given by the master this time was to sneak attack a domain war group that had already entered the "Beast Heart Domain Field", and then destroy this war group, and by the way, snatch some spiritual resources.
For this mission, the information he could obtain was very limited.
It was just that this domain war group seemed to know some secrets in the last mission operation, which was why the master wanted to wipe it out.
In fact, Lu Changkong felt that it was not important whether this domain war group knew the secrets of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
The mere possibility of hidden dangers was enough to make the master want to kill.
After so many years of loyalty, he knew clearly how cruel the master was.
But after so many years of running around, he had no complaints in his heart, even though he knew that his master was a domain creature that always stood on the opposite side of humans.
The memory went back to that day.
That year, he graduated from the Winter Academy, and like his peers, he stepped into the front line with expectations for the future of mankind, hoping to contribute his own strength to the future of mankind.
During the days on the front line, he witnessed the real cruelty, but he had no regrets.
Until one day he received bad news.
His sister, who had been dependent on him since childhood, was seriously ill and was rushed to the Future City Hospital for treatment.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Lu Changkong at the time.
It was his sister who supported him through the pain again and again. In addition to spending money on equipment, the money he earned with his life on the front line was also sent to his sister in the Future City.
She knew that his sister had always had a dream to become a spiritual pharmacist.
He wanted to fulfill his sister's wish.
Spiritual pharmacists do not have to go to the front line, and there is no danger to their lives in the rear, which is exactly what he hopes for.
Every time he returns to the regiment's base from the front line, he will go to pick up the stored express delivery as soon as possible to see what his sister has sent.
In his room at the station, there were even more awards from his sister.
This was the only comfort in Lu Changkong's heart, and he felt that all his efforts were worth it.
Every time he had a video call with his sister and watched her grow up, he felt satisfied.
But he never expected that his sister would be seriously ill and had a terminal illness that could not be cured by existing medical means.
At this moment, the sky fell.
Without any hesitation, Lu Changkong chose to take a leave and then returned to the Future City.
When he met his sister again, he saw that his sister was pale, thin, and lying on the medical bed with a dull look in her eyes.
Unable to bear this ending, Lu Changkong began to search for ways to treat his sister on the Internet like crazy.
After that, he took the lead in finding the Future Research Institute, hoping to use the advanced technology of the Future Research Institute to solve his sister's problems.
However, after checking the details of his sister's medical records, the staff of the Future Research Institute reluctantly said that the Future Research Institute had long given up the research of medical projects and could not provide any effective help. Perhaps they could seek help from the United Military Hospital
. At that time, Lu Changkong came to the United Military Hospital for help as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He was received by a female doctor at that time.
After checking the details of his sister's medical records, the female doctor told him the truth, and it was these words that stimulated him.
She said that there were indeed special medicines in the United Military Hospital that could save the girl, but the production of these special medicines was very low, only six bottles a year, and they were only for human warriors with the Human Medal of Excellence.
It was these words that broke Lu Changkong's determination.
He knew in his heart that the United Military Hospital chose to do this from the perspective of the overall human situation.
The heroes who have won the Human Medal of Excellence are the backbone of human civilization and the pioneers on the road to human civilization.
But he was still unwilling.
Obviously, he could save her, why not save her, he was unwilling to let his sister die at the age of youth.
In order to help his sister cure her illness, he returned to the front line.
He begged the captain and the members of the war group with backgrounds, hoping to get their help.
They all worked hard for this, but unfortunately they all failed.
Finally, under the persuasion of the captain, Lu Changkong returned to the room in dejection.
The sun was blinding that day, shining through the window onto the award certificates on the wall, but it could not penetrate his heart which was covered by the haze.
In the end, Lu Changkong returned to Future City and the hospital.
Lying on the hospital bed and looking at his sister who was still in a coma, he felt a pain in his heart.
He worked hard for the rise of mankind in his life.
But he couldn't protect his sister. How ridiculous and sad.
Compared with the whole human race, he wanted his sister to live healthily.
He didn't care about any bullshit justice.
In the midst of grief and anger, his heart died.
His sister was his only relative in this world. With his sister gone, he felt that there was no meaning for him to continue living.
The cruel life on the front line did not break him, but this incident completely broke him.
His sister was the dawn of light in his heart and the source of motivation for him to move forward.
But in just a few days, everything collapsed.
The beautiful fantasy of the future was shattered like a dream bubble, and everything was gone.
This man who had never cried in the bloody battles on the front line couldn't help crying, and the despair in his heart became stronger.
It was at this time that the black shadow appeared.
That was the first time Lu Changkong came into contact with it.
It was shrouded in darkness, and it seemed to have some kind of magic to speak, bewitching his mind.
But after many years of front-line life, Lu Changkong had forged a steel-like will and was not disturbed by mental bewitching at all.
Realizing that the monster in front of him was a domain monster that transcended the domain field, he instinctively wanted to kill it.
But the words spoken by the black shadow made him waver.
Lu Changkong still remembers that sentence, just like a meteor that cut through the darkness and brought him light.
"I can save your sister, but you must be loyal to me in the future!"
Lu Changkong knew that if he chose this path, he would never be able to turn back.
Years of studying made him understand that choosing this path would make him a traitor to mankind, and perhaps he would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
But looking back at his sister who was unconscious with her eyes closed, he still hesitated.
When the seeds of hesitation were planted, they took root in his heart and gradually grew stronger.
Faced with the hope of letting his sister live, he finally couldn't escape the inner struggle and chose to bow his head and compromise.
The black shadow did not let him down.
When the sunlight of the next morning shone through the window of the ward on his sister's face, she slowly opened her eyes.
At that moment, Lu Changkong hugged his sister and cried with joy.
He also understood that he had embarked on a road of no return. Even if it was not for himself, he had to continue for his sister.
Before leaving, the shadow said, "Your sister's life is not in my control, but in your control."
The threat in this sentence is self-evident.
Since then, Lu Changkong, who has always been fighting on the front line, has disappeared, and there is a Lu Changkong from the Wolf-eating Regiment under the Institute of Science and Technology.
For so many years, the shadow has kept his promise.
He funded his sister to attend the only spiritual medicine school in Future City, and now she is about to graduate.
The shadow even promised that her sister would successfully enter the Spiritual Medicine Institute to work. His
sister's dream is about to come true, and he is relieved.
Over the years, he has stained his hands with the blood of countless people.
From the initial guilt, his heart gradually became cold.
He clearly remembers those unbelievable eyes, and the hot feeling of countless people's blood sprayed on his face.
But after so many experiences, his heart has long been numb.
The ideal future shared by mankind has nothing to do with him. He only wants the future he desires.
In fact, he knows clearly that the shadow only regards him as a dog, a hunting dog that can be driven at will.
But he has no regrets in his heart.
What's wrong with being a dog? At least being a dog can protect his loved ones.
As for the future of all mankind, what does it have to do with me!
This road, which is wrong in the eyes of all mankind, is extremely correct in his eyes.
With this idea in mind, Lu Changkong has been running on this road for several years.
The Wolf-eating War Group he personally formed has also been successfully promoted to the third combat force legion under the Institute of Science and Technology.
After successfully being promoted to the second echelon of the core circle, he saw the strength of the shadow forces.
The firm belief in following in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Perhaps the final destination is to be abandoned, but he has long been mentally prepared.
At least he can be sure that the shadow forces will not attack his sister no matter what, they have their own principles.
Thinking about the matter, the war group rushed for a hundred miles and finally came to the beast heart field.
Without any hesitation, Lu Changkong took the lead and crashed into the bloody field.
In front of him was a desolate scene, with corpses all over the road, many orc skulls were picked up by spears and inserted on the roadside, and the breath of killing was blowing in his face.
Lu Changkong, who was already accustomed to the bloody scene, did not change his expression at all, and waved his hand to signal the war group to continue moving forward.
Under the control of the auxiliary personnel of the rear regiment, the reconnaissance drone first flew forward quickly.
Along the way, they searched for traces of the target regiment.
After rushing for a long time, Lu Changkong waved his hand again to signal to stop.
After a short rest and taking compressed energy pills to restore their physical strength, the Wolf-eating Regiment accelerated its pace.
Before the operation began, Lu Changkong carefully checked the number of regiments that had recently performed tasks in the Beast Heart Field and the number of regiments in the nearby area.
Knowing that there are only two regiments performing tasks in the Beast Heart Field, one of which is the target regiment.
This time, he did not choose to take the main road, but came over mountains and ridges.
So he was not worried that the Wolf-eating Regiment's action would be exposed.
What's more, even if it was exposed, the Science and Technology Research Institute behind him would give an absolutely reasonable explanation for their actions in the eyes of the outside world.
Before setting off, he carefully checked the authority information provided by the master, and now he clearly knew the area of the target regiment's operation.
There was no need to take detours along the way, so he led the team straight to the target location.
As they got closer to the target location, Lu Changkong began to slow down the pace of the battle group and prepared himself for the battle.
But at this moment, the drone sent back a video.
In the video, a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old blocked the way forward for the battle group.
Seeing this scene, Lu Changkong was confused. He
didn't understand where this girl came from.
But he had no intention of stopping.
When killing became a habit, his heart was numb, and Lu Changkong found that he no longer felt guilty. Since she was blocking the way, he would just kill her. He
continued to rush, and the loli girl who blocked the way appeared in his sight.
She had long black hair, a petite figure, a delicate face, and was wearing a black martial arts uniform. She stood there calmly and calmly, which was out of tune with the desolate environment around her.
"Kill her!" Lu Changkong said in a deep voice at this time.
The drone in the sky fired several psychic lasers at the back of the loli girl.
With several loud noises, smoke and dust rolled up, covering the view ahead.
But Lu Changkong frowned at this moment.
The night vision device worn on his face also has a thermal vision function. He clearly saw the loli girl standing there. The power of the psychic laser did not make her move at all.
A gust of wind blew, and when the smoke and dust dissipated, he found that the loli girl's clothes were not even torn, but there was a layer of translucent jade-colored mist on her body.
"Lu Changkong, I'm curious, why do you want to betray humans?" The girl spoke at this time.
Hearing the question, Lu Changkong immediately realized that the situation was not good.
She knew his origins clearly, which proved that she was well prepared.
Years of front-line experience made him think of evacuating quickly.
Since the loli girl standing not far away knew his origins, it would not be foolish to come and die. It was obvious that she had taken him for granted.
"Do you regret it?" The girl asked again.
"No regrets!" Lu Changkong responded coldly, and his figure began to slowly retreat while speaking.
"I want to know why?"
"Because they give me the future I want."
After hearing this, Mu Qing was silent for a moment and then said:
"I have checked your information and know that you were once an excellent soldier on the front line. You should not have taken this path. What exactly do you mean by the future?"
"I chose this path myself. Why should I explain it to you?"
"Is it related to your sister?" Mu Qing continued to ask.
"It has nothing to do with you!" While speaking, Lu Changkong waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to take the initiative to attack Mu Qing.
"It seems that Ah Qi's guess is correct. According to your information, it should be related to your sister's serious illness."
At this point, Mu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
She thought of what Feng Qi said when he gave her this task.
"Lu Changkong is a pitiful man, but also very hateful. It's not wrong for him to want his relatives to live, but has he ever considered that the martyrs paid the price of their lives for him and his sister to live a stable life in the Future City?"
"If the martyrs had made the same choice as him, perhaps they would not exist at all."
"It's right to live for yourself, but it's wrong that he chose the wrong path. Perhaps this is also the reason why he doesn't want to tell the truth to his sister. I have read her information. She vowed to work hard for the rise of mankind. She will definitely feel ashamed of him..."
Thinking of this, Mu Qing's eyes became firm.
The jade-colored mist on her body flowed, and she turned into a phantom and passed through several figures rushing towards her. She
came to Lu Changkong in front of him in the unbelievable eyes.
The hot fist suddenly smashed down with an unmatched momentum.
