Chapter 436 That Year, 54 Years Old
Feng Qi slowly raised his head after washing his face with cold water.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw the cracks of time at the corners of his eyes. He
calculated the time in his mind and found that he was already 54 years old.
As a sacrifice line, he did not have a special physique and could only nourish his body through cultivation to prolong his life.
However, his body had many roots of illness due to the innate abilities of the main timeline in his early years, especially the serious deficiency of qi and blood.
Although he had mastered the ability to absorb qi and blood, this ability was given by the special gloves, not his own ability.
The special physique could help him convert the absorbed qi and blood into his own energy.
However, the special gloves absorbed and converted qi and blood, which still contained impurities and had a certain impact on the body.
Today, many problems have already appeared.
He slowly stood up, used a towel to dry the moisture on his face, and then hung the towel back.
Turning and walking out of the washroom, he went straight to the training room.
Stepping into it, he looked at the little guy who was exercising in the center of the training room.
With a straight and slender figure like a benchmark, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, sharp eyebrows and a high nose bridge, tightly pursed thin lips, and a pair of blue eyes, he is now training hard.
The little brat has grown into a handsome boy.
Seeing him appear, the boy immediately stopped training, turned his head and looked at Feng Qi, with a bright smile on his face:
"Uncle Qi, you are here."
Feng Qi smiled and nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down, and skillfully picked up the tablet on the coffee table.
Looking at the dense information on it, he began to read it.
The boy also started training again.
After a long time, Feng Qi looked up at the boy, with a touch of relief in his eyes.
Over the years, the training room has been renovated three times, and the training facilities have been replaced several times. The little brat has grown into a boy.
And he... is also old.
The boy seemed to notice Feng Qi's gaze, and at this time put down the wooden sword, eagerly ran behind Feng Qi and began to help him pound his shoulders.
Feng Qi was about to speak, but he felt an itch in his throat and coughed continuously.
Seeing Feng Qi cough, the boy's expression changed, and he immediately brought a cup of water to Feng Qi.
"Uncle Qi, Grandma Weiwei said that you can't take mental soothing potions anymore, so drink more water."
Facing the boy's concern, Feng Qi did not refute, but nodded perfunctorily.
After taking the cup of water and taking a sip, Feng Qi's eyes showed a hint of determination.
This sacrifice line is only halfway through, he doesn't want to, and can't fall down at this time.
He has always been concerned about Mu Qing's situation.
From the beginning when Mu Qing discovered that the domain creature disguised as a human corpse, he felt that Mu Qing might have fallen into a trap.
The domain creatures are not stupid, how could they reveal such a clear flaw in front of Mu Qing.
It also let Mu Qing follow the clues to investigate that this domain lurking creature once lived in Winter City.
This is like a kind of guidance, deliberately letting Mu Qing discover the surface problems and guide her to pursue the truth.
He has encountered similar situations before.
He once suspected that the Scarlet Research Institute was infiltrated and controlled by the domain forces.
Facts have proved that his guess is contrary to the truth.
He has reason to suspect that Mu Qing is used as a knife by the domain forces hiding behind the scenes.
The purpose is to use Mu Qing's power to eliminate the enemy with whom they have conflicts of interest, and this enemy is likely to be lurking in Winter City.
Obviously, Mu Qing is not aware of this problem.
The clues she has found seem to be obtained through hard investigation, but it is very likely that there are behind-the-scenes pushers playing a dark chess game.
He did not take the initiative to contact Mu Qing to explain this issue.
He did not understand the situation in Winter City. The behind-the-scenes pusher wanted to use Mu Qing to eliminate the opponent, and he hid in the deeper darkness to observe the development of the situation and wanted to find out the potential forces.
There are still more than 60 years before the establishment of the Dawn Army, and he cannot expose himself for the time being.
As for how to hold on for another 60 years, he is confident.
If the body can't hold on, then use genetic drugs to prolong life, if not, take a few more injections, in any case, you must hold on until the day when the truth is revealed.
Coming back to his senses, Feng Qi put down the water cup and looked at the boy who was already sitting next to him and said:
"Xiao Wen, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Uncle Qi...how do you know?" The boy scratched his head slightly embarrassedly.
"I made you big with my own hands. I know whether you want to poop or fart when you stick your butt out. You can't hide
anything from me." "Hey, Uncle Qi, I want to ask you for something." The boy simply stopped pretending and said with a flattering face.
"Go ahead, I may not agree."
"I want to go to the West Supply Zone of Xingcheng and register as a frontline soldier."
Hearing this, Feng Qi was stunned at first, and then couldn't help shaking his head:
"Nonsense."
About 13 years ago, the West Supply Zone of Xingcheng officially opened the main road to Xingcheng and was officially put into operation.
Over the years, resources have been continuously injected into Xingcheng.
The resources of the West Supply Zone are divided into five parts, of which Xingcheng accounts for 30%, and the remaining 70% are divided by the other four cities, and these four cities also contributed manpower and material resources at the beginning of the construction of the West Supply Zone of Xingcheng.
Today, the Star City West Supply Zone has taken shape, with more than 2,000 regiments and sub-regiments stationed there, including the 13th sub-regiment of the Dawn Regiment.
But Mu Qing did not return.
Feng Qi was not surprised.
When she graduated, Mu Qing chose the Winter Supply Zone as her battlefield because it was the most horrific battle zone among all the supply zones, and many difficult-to-attack fields were also located to the north of the Winter Supply Zone.
So Mu Qing set up the headquarters of the Dawn Regiment in the Winter Supply Zone, and chose the most difficult challenge from the beginning.
That was also the life destination in Mu Qing's heart.
Maybe now she has something to miss in Star City, but she knows better where her value lies.
Over the years, relying on the resources produced by the West Supply Zone of Star City, many projects originally planned by Star City have been implemented or are under construction.
Among them is the implementation and operation of the Dawn Academy.
Feng Qi chose Lao Wang as the first dean of the Dawn Academy.
He always felt that one of the luckiest things in his life was to meet Lao Wang, a teacher.
Courage, persistence, fearlessness... Lao Wang taught him many things, and made him love the human race deeply and work tirelessly for it.
The position of the principal is like the helmsman of a big ship. He is assured that Lao Wang is at the helm.
After all, he himself is a student taught by Lao Wang.
Thinking back to the present, his brows frowned slightly.
He originally envisioned that after a period of time, when the new semester of Dawn Academy begins, he would send the little guy to study.
Maybe the little guy can no longer learn anything useful in the academy, but experiencing life is also one of the future directions he plans for the little guy.
The little guy is different from him. He doesn't need to be tense all the time, thinking about Star City, the future, the truth, intelligence, etc. all the time.
If the little guy wants to fully integrate into the human race, he needs an environment, try to get in touch with other humans outside the Tiger Soul Institute, and even make a few friends.
He had contacted Lao Wang a few days ago and was ready to let the little guy take the entrance exam.
In fact, he was fully capable of using the back door to get the little guy into the Dawn Academy.
But there was no point in doing so.
The little guy's own knowledge and ability were fully sufficient to cope with the exam, and his knowledge was even richer than that of the teachers in the academy. Using the back door was an insult to him.
I just didn't expect that the little guy would ask to go to the front line to become a field warrior.
"Uncle Qi, you have told me a lot of heroic stories. Many of them went to the frontline at a young age, especially when they had not yet developed the cultivation method. They used their flesh and blood to block the invasion of the creatures in the field. I now have the strength of the upper gold level and am fully capable of helping to open up the frontline."
Before Feng Qi could reply, the boy took a peek at the change in Feng Qi's expression and continued:
"Uncle Qi, you said that the flowers in the greenhouse can hardly withstand the harsh environment outside. I want to go to the frontline to train myself and grow myself into a sharp knife in Star City. How can I really grow up without encountering some setbacks?"
Feng Qi, who was about to persuade, fell silent when he heard this.
In fact, with the little guy's current strength, he has reached the top level of human combat power, and it is no problem for him to become a frontline soldier.
About ten years ago, the little guy had already developed a method that fits his physique.
And every year the method will become more perfect, and it will improve with the little guy's strength.
Originally, Feng Qi thought that if the little guy really couldn't develop a method that suited him, he would teach the top-secret flesh and blood tripod to the little guy.
The Flesh and Blood Cauldron is different from the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice. It is a technique without hidden dangers.
The only drawback is that it is too complicated. Even if a normal person wants to practice it, he will probably get stuck at the starting stage even if he spends his entire life to explore it.
But the little guy is different.
His bloodline potential is far beyond the reach of ordinary people, and his learning efficiency is even more amazing.
The little guy has unparalleled talents in lifespan, bloodline potential, and learning efficiency. He can try to practice the Flesh and Blood Cauldron.
But the Flesh and Blood Cauldron is of great importance after
all. If one day the little guy, like the Lord of the Mist, finds out the method of "Flesh and Blood Sacrifice" through the Flesh and Blood Cauldron, and at this time the little guy has become a high-level human being and is hostile to humans,
then humanity will inevitably perish in his hands.
The probability of this possibility is not high, but it is also a real safety hazard.
He is destined not to accompany and guide the little guy in his future path. Perhaps one day he will go astray under temptation or other external factors.
Fortunately, the little guy has now embarked on the path of creating his own technique.
This road is certainly difficult, but if it can be passed, maybe the little guy can create a skill that can surpass the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice and be comparable to the Flesh and Blood Cauldron, or even a higher limit.
At this time, when he heard the little guy say that he wanted to go to the front line for training, the first thought that came to his mind was to refuse.
Even if the little guy's strength is enough to cope with many challenges, there are risks after all.
But after listening to the little guy's explanation, Feng Qi suddenly found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.
He found that he positioned the little guy in the future, but never thought that the little guy would need to go through hardships during his growth.
"Uncle Qi, please promise me, I also want to contribute my own strength to the development of Star City."
The little guy's face showed a flattering expression, grabbing Feng Qi's hand and shaking it back and forth, trying to "influence" Feng Qi with words and actions.
Faced with the little guy's repeated requests, Feng Qi did not directly agree.
He began to think about the pros and cons.
The front-line experience can make the little guy grow quickly, and it can also allow him to meet a group of comrades who are loyal to each other. Perhaps stepping on the front line is more suitable for the little guy's growth than entering the Dawn Academy.
But a resistance still rose in his heart.
This feeling made him feel uncomfortable, just like the child he raised was about to go on a long journey, and he felt worried and reluctant.
But he also understood that the child would have to go on a long journey after all.
He trained the little guy as the future senior executive of Star City. Going to the front line to experience the cruelty there would also allow him to better understand the situation of Star City and humans,
which would help the little guy guide Star City to develop in a good direction in the future.
If this sacrificial line of Star City can withstand the layers of external pressure with the efforts of the little guy and other senior executives of Star City, he and the little guy will one day meet again in the future 1,500 years later. With
thousands of thoughts surging, Feng Qi couldn't help sighing.
"Xiao Wen, since you have decided to go to the front line for training, I will not provide you with any living expenses during this period. Everything in the future depends on your own efforts. Once you have made a decision, you can no longer regret it."
Hearing Feng Qi's agreement, a surprised expression appeared on the little guy's face.
He immediately began to help Feng Qi massage his legs:
"Uncle Qi, don't worry. I can take good care of myself. Remember to read the daily Star City frontline daily report. There will be news about me. I will win glory for you and work hard for the rise of Star City."
Hearing the little guy's assurance, Feng Qi nodded with relief.
After a long time, the little guy left and began to prepare for the front line.
Feng Qi also took out his mobile phone at this time and called Lao Wang.
A few days ago, he had just discussed with Lao Wang about letting the little guy enroll in the Dawn Academy. Now that the little guy has decided to go to the front line, he naturally has to inform Lao Wang to explain the situation.
After hanging up the phone, Feng Qi slowly stood up.
The fatigue of his body could not suppress the heat in his heart.
He came to the open space and sat cross-legged, and began to practice the breathing method to nourish his body.
There are many hidden injuries in his body now. These are the hidden dangers left by borrowing his innate abilities. These hidden problems even appear in the spiritual sea of consciousness, which often give him a headache, and there is no way to solve them at all.
Fortunately, breathing can prolong his life to some extent, which is better than nothing.
Now his desire for "life" is extremely strong. He even feels that if he has the miraculous will of the Lord of Mist, he can also rely on willpower to revive after death.
With one breath, the spiritual particles spread to his internal organs, nourishing his gradually declining body.
The next morning.
Feng Qi changed into a formal suit for a rare occasion, and dispatched a special car of Tiger Soul to personally send the little guy to the west gate of Star City.
The current west gate of Star City has been expanded, and the main road has become very wide. It is connected to the west supply area of Star City, and the traffic volume of transporting frontline resources is endless every day.
In addition, there is also a shuttle bus to the front line, which is used to pick up soldiers to and from Star City and the western front line.
After getting off the bus, Feng Qi sent the little guy to the waiting area of the station.
The new round of buses has not arrived yet, and Feng Qi began to remind the little guy of the precautions when he is on the front line.
The little guy nodded and listened very obediently.
When the shuttle bus came, Feng Qi picked up the luggage and sent the little guy on the bus.
Before leaving, Feng Qi could not help but remind the little guy again to be vigilant and pay attention to safety at the front line.
The little guy smiled brightly and said confidently:
"Uncle Qi, don't worry, I will take good care of myself, and I will take care of you in the future."
