The moonlight is hazy and the shadows of the trees are dancing.

In the quiet dense forest outside the future supply area, a team of hundreds of people came over the mountains and ridges.

The goal of their trip was a field more than a hundred miles away.

This field is close to the Future City supply area and is one of the many barrier fields blocking Future City and Star City.

Members of the team are wearing very advanced technological equipment.

While rushing along the way, the terrain survey drone overhead continued to scan the terrain ahead and fed back to the tablet in the leader's hand.

The soldiers in the team all wear tailor-made exoskeleton armor and run in dense forests with complex terrain, which effectively reduces physical exhaustion.

The night vision goggles worn on their faces allowed them to see clearly in a dark environment.

After running continuously for a while, the group leader "Lu Changkong" suddenly stopped, and the other members of the Wolf-loving Chapter behind him also stopped when they saw this.

"regain strength!"

Upon hearing his order, the team members immediately took out a pill from the convenient belt bag they carried with them, stuffed it into their mouths, and then swallowed it.

Compressed energy pills break down quickly in the body.

Cool energy sweeps through the whole body, and the fatigue quickly dissipates.

After a short rest, the wolf-loving group continued to attack the target location.

While advancing rapidly, 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 mission given by the Lord this time is to sneak attack a domain battle group that has entered the "Beast Heart Realm Field", and then destroy this battle group, and at the same time rob some spiritual resources.

For this mission, the information he could obtain was very limited.

I just know that this domain war group seemed to know some secrets during the last mission, which is why the Lord wants to erase them.

In fact, Lu Changkong felt that it was not important at all whether this field war group knew the secrets of the Science and Technology Research Institute.

The mere possibility of hidden dangers is enough to make the Lord murderous.

After so many years of loyalty, he clearly knew how ruthless his Lord was.

But after so many years of running around, he didn't have any complaints in his heart, even though he knew that the Lord was a realm creature that always stood on the opposite side of mankind.

The memory goes back to that day.

At that time, he graduated from Winter Academy, and like the graduates of the same period, 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 his days on the front line, he witnessed true cruelty, but he had no regrets.

Until one day he received bad news.

His sister, who had been dependent on him since childhood, became seriously ill and was rushed to Future City Hospital for treatment.

For Lu Changkong at that time, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

It was his sister who supported him through repeated pains. In addition to using his life to purchase equipment, all the money he earned on the front line was sent to his sister in the future city.

She knew that her sister had always had a dream to become an elixir.

He wanted to fulfill his sister's wish.

The elixir master does not need to go to the front line, and his life is not in danger in the rear. This is exactly what he hopes in his heart.

Every time he returned to the battle group's base from the front line, he would pick up and store the express delivery immediately to see what his sister had sent.

His room in the station is even covered with certificates of merit from his sister.

This was the only consolation in Lu Changkong's heart, and he felt that all his efforts were worth it.

Every time he has a video call with his sister, he feels satisfied as he watches her grow up.

But he never expected that his sister would become seriously ill and suffer from a terminal illness that could not be cured by existing medical methods.

At this moment, the sky fell.

Without any hesitation, Lu Changkong chose to take leave and returned to Future City.

When he met his sister again, he saw that her face was pale, her body was thin, she was lying haggardly on the medical bed, her eyes were dull.

Unable to bear this ending, Lu Changkong went crazy and started searching online for a way to save his sister.

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 reviewing the details of his sister's medical records, the staff of the Future Research Institute reluctantly said that the Future Research Institute had already given up on research on medical projects and was unable to provide any effective help. Perhaps they could seek help from the Joint Military Hospital.

At that time, Lu Changkong seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and came to the Joint Military Hospital to seek help.

The person who received him at that time was a female doctor.

After checking the details of his sister's medical records, the female doctor told the truth, and it was these words that stimulated him.

She said that the Joint Military Hospital does have special medicines that can save girls, but the output of these special medicines is very low, with only six bottles per year, and is only available to human warriors with outstanding human medals.

It was these words that shattered Lu Changkong's determination.

He knew in his heart that the United Military Hospital chose to do this out of consideration for the overall interests of mankind.

The outstanding figures who have won the Medal of Distinction of Humanity are the pillars of human civilization and the pathfinders on the path forward of human civilization.

But he was still unwilling.

It was obvious that he could be saved, so why not save her? He was not willing to let his sister fade away in her prime.

In order to help his sister cure her illness, he returned to the front line.

He begged the group leader and the group members with background, hoping to get their help.

They all worked hard for this, but unfortunately they all failed.

Finally, under the persuasion of the group leader, Lu Changkong returned to the room in despair.

The sun was dazzling that day, shining through the window on the wall full of awards, but it could not penetrate his heart, which was covered by haze.

In the end, Lu Changkong returned to the future city and the hospital.

Lying on the hospital bed, looking at his sister who was still in a coma, his heart ached.

I will work hard for the rise of mankind in this life.

But he can't protect his sister, how ridiculous and how sad.

More than all human beings, he wants his sister to live in good health.

He doesn't need any nonsense.

Between grief and anger, his heart died.

His sister is his only relative in this world. With her gone, he feels that he has no meaning in continuing to live.

The cruel career on the front line failed to break him, but he was completely broken by this incident.

His sister is the light in his heart and the source of motivation for him to continue moving forward.

But within just a few days, everything fell apart.

The beautiful illusion about the future shattered like a dream, and everything became empty.

This man who never cried even in the bloody battle on the front line couldn't help crying, and the despair in his heart became more and more intense.

It was at this time that the black shadow appeared.

That was Lu Changkong's first contact with it.

It was shrouded in darkness, and its words seemed to have some kind of magic power, bewitching his mind.

However, after years of working on the front line, Lu Changkong has developed an iron will that is not disturbed by mental temptations at all.

Realizing that what appeared in front of him was a domain monster that transcended the domain field, he instinctively took action to kill it.

But what the black shadow said made him shaken.

Those words are still fresh in Lu Changkong's memory, like a meteor that cuts through the darkness, bringing him light.

"I can save your sister, but you must be loyal to me in the future!"

Lu Changkong understood that if he chose this path, he would never be able to look back.

Years of studying have made him understand that if he chooses this path, he will become a traitor to mankind, and he may be nailed to the pillar of shame for eternity.

But when he looked back at his unconscious sister with her eyes closed, he still hesitated.

When the seeds of hesitation are planted, they take root in the heart and gradually grow stronger.

Faced with the hope of bringing his sister back to life, he ultimately could not escape his inner struggle and chose to bow his head and compromise.

The shadow did not disappoint him.

When the sunshine the next morning shone on my sister's face through the window of the ward, 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 path of no return, and even if it was not for himself, he would continue on for the sake of his sister.
To be continued...
