Finally, under the persuasion of the leader, Lu Changkong returned to his room dispiritedly.
The sunlight that day was dazzling, streaming through the window to illuminate the awards on the wall. However, it couldn’t penetrate his darkened heart.
In the end, Lu Changkong returned to Future City and the hospital.
He lay on the bed and looked at his sister, who was still unconscious. His heart ached.
He had worked hard for the rise of mankind in his life.
However, he could not protect his sister well. How ridiculous and pathetic was that?
Compared to all of humanity, he wanted his sister to live healthily.
He didn’t care about righteousness.
Amid his sorrow and indignation, his heart withered away.
His sister was his only family in this world. Now that his sister was gone, he felt that there was no point in continuing to live.
The harsh life at the frontline didn’t break him, but this incident utterly shattered him.
His sister was the light in his heart and the source of motivation for him to continue moving forward.
But in just a few days, everything collapsed.
His beautiful fantasy of the future shattered like a dream, and everything was gone.
The man, who had never shed a tear on the frontline, couldn’t help but weep.
The despair in his heart deepened.
It was also at this moment that the black shadow appeared.
That was the first time Lu Changkong had come into contact with it.
Its entire body was enveloped in darkness. When it spoke, it seemed to have some kind of magic that bewitched his mind.
However, after many years on the front line, Lu Changkong had developed a steel-like will and was not affected by mental bewitchment at all.
Realizing that the figure in front of him was a domain creature that had transcended the domain field, he instinctively wanted to kill it.
However, what the black shadow said made him waver.
Lu Changkong still remembered that sentence. It was like a shooting star that cut through the darkness and brought him light.
“I can save your sister, but you have to be loyal to me!”
Lu Changkong knew that he had chosen this path and there was no turning back.
After many years of studying, he understood that choosing this path would make him a traitor to humanity. Perhaps he would be nailed to the pillar of shame for eternity.
However, when he looked back at his unconscious sister with her eyes closed, he still hesitated.
When the seed of hesitation was planted, it would take root in his heart and grow stronger.
In the face of the hope of bringing his sister back to life, he could not escape the struggle in his heart in the end and chose to lower his head and compromise.
The shadow did not disappoint him.
The next morning, when the sunlight shone through the window of the ward and landed on her sister’s face, she slowly opened her eyes.
At that moment, Lu Changkong hugged his sister and cried tears of joy.
He also understood that he had already embarked on a path of no return. Even if it was not for himself, he had to continue walking down it for his sister.
Before the shadow left, it said, “Your sister’s life is not in my control, but yours.”
The threat in his words was self-evident.
From then on, Lu Changkong, who had been fighting on the front line, disappeared. The Lu Changkong from the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team had become a subordinate of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
For so many years, the black shadow had kept its promise.
His sister had attended the only alchemy academy in Future City and was about to graduate.
The black shadow even agreed that his sister would successfully enter the Alchemy Research Institute to work.
His sister’s dream was about to come true. He was relieved.
Over the years, his hands had been stained with the blood of countless of his kind.
From the initial guilt, his heart gradually turned cold.
He recalled those incredulous stares and the searing sensation of countless drops of his own kind’s blood splattering onto his face.
However, after experiencing so much, his heart was already numb.
The ideal future that mankind shared had nothing to do with him anymore. He only wanted the future that he yearned for.
In truth, he was well aware that the black shadow regarded him as nothing more than a dog, a hunting dog easily manipulated at will.
But he had no regrets.
What was wrong with being a dog? At least being a dog could protect one’s family.
As for the future of all mankind, it has nothing to do with me!
This path was wrong in the eyes of all mankind. In his opinion, it was incomparably right.
With this thought in mind, Lu Changkong had been on this path for many years.
The Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team that he had established had also been successfully promoted to the third combat team under the Science and Technology Research Institute.
After successfully advancing to the second tier of the core circle, he saw how powerful the black shadow faction was.
The determination in his heart to follow became stronger.
Perhaps being abandoned was his ultimate fate, but he had already mentally prepared himself for it.
At the very least, he was certain that the black shadow faction would not attack his sister no matter what. They had their principles.
Thinking about it, the combat team finally arrived at the Beast-heart domain field.
Without any hesitation, Lu Changkong took the lead and charged into the blood-colored domain.
In front of him was a desolate scene. Along the way, there were corpses everywhere. Many orc skulls were picked up by spears and stabbed into the roadside. The murderous aura assaulted his face.
Lu Changkong, who was used to bloody scenes, did not change his expression. He waved his hand and gestured for the combat team to continue forward.
The scouting drone flew forward quickly under the control of the support team at the back.
He searched for traces of the target combat team along the way.
After traveling for a long time, Lu Changkong waved his hand again to signal for them to stop.
After a short rest and taking the compressed energy pill to recover their strength, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team sped up.
Before the operation began, Lu Changkong carefully checked the number of combat teams carrying out missions in the Beast-heart domain field and the number of combat teams in the nearby area.
He knew that only two combat teams were carrying out missions in the Beast-heart domain field. One of them was the target combat team.
This time, he did not choose to take the main path. Instead, he crossed the mountains..
