Accompanying a deafening explosion, an incomparably violent bolt of lightning strikes down for an entire three seconds. I was also shocked by the might of the heavens as my feet unconsciously retreated a few steps backwards.
After being struck by the lightning, Lv Tianhe lost all signs of hostility, the Yin Qi on his body disappeared, and the gigantic lightning bolt dissipated just as quickly. Very quickly, the clouds opened and the mist dissipated, and the five lightning barrier also disappeared.
After he fell to the ground, a lot of water came out from his body, which made the ground around him wet. He had lost a lot of weight, and from a burly man who was as thin as a stick to his bones, with sunken eye sockets and dark skin to a normal human skin, his body seemed to have shrunk a little. I touched the back of his head, but his heart didn’t beat at all.
A soft groan came from behind me, and I remembered that my senior brother was still there. He had used the Destiny Divine Symbol to forcefully overdraft his life, and was currently on the verge of death.
Zhao Xuewen and Senior Brother Zhao Xuewen had forcefully borrowed strength from the outside to fight the enemy, but they had left behind irreversible injuries. Fan Dexin’s body was weak, and he had almost died on the way out of the valley, but even so, the four of us had still persevered on and found a way out, leaving this place of disaster.
After returning to the temporary residence of the Special Operations Group, Master and Dean Gao were especially happy that we managed to return alive, especially Master. This is the first time I’ve seen Master cry after seeing Senior Brother and I covered in wounds and dying, let alone crying now.
The injuries of Fan Dexin and I were not light, but because we were young, I recovered really quickly. On the second day, I borrowed the power of the Fox Blood and recovered to normal people, but Senior Brother and Zhao Xuewen were much more serious than me, just that Senior Brother and Zhao Xuewen had always been in a semi-conscious state ever since we fought back, and could occasionally wake up. Most of the time, they were unconscious, and the doctor could not explain this kind of coma on Senior Brother’s part.
Zhao Xuewen’s curse on Shi Yuan had already changed his fate. If not, Shi Yuan would not have died so easily at my hands, but all of the powers were mutual, so Zhao Xuewen’s fate would also be changed. Furthermore, from the sudden death of Shi Yuan, I could tell that this curse seemed to be able to kill a person, no matter how good Zhao Xuewen’s life was, he would still become a lowly person after this battle.
The members of the special operations team who participated in the operation suffered heavy casualties. Apart from the few of us, only three of us survived the incident, while the rest were buried deep underground. After this incident, I realized how fragile life was.
However, this time, it was a good thing that we were able to eliminate Lv Tianhe. After the change in the earth’s crust occurred, the special forces sent another group of people to the valley to carry out a series of clean-up activities. The so-called clean-up activity was to destroy those who were completely out of their minds.
Once again, I was a little conflicted with that place, finding those who failed, those in the group with the flamethrower, bringing those who failed together, burning them into ashes, out of humanity, before cleaning up, we had to do our best to knock out some of the people who were able to move, so as to save them from pain, it could be said that these people were no longer alive in this world, because their souls had long left their bodies, and because their bodies were restless, their bodies could not be at peace, and even if they died, their bodies would still have a great impact on their souls, so only by burning them up, would they be able to gain early peace.
“Hurry, hurry up and burn it. This stench, it’s so disgusting!” A young man was at the side, directing these people with a look of disgust on his face. One of his hands was tightly pinching his nose, and he was constantly fanning it. “This is too stinky. I’m going to die.” As he said that, he walked further away. The adonis’ face was flushed red. He bent down and started retching.
This time, it was him leading the team, but from the looks of it, he isn’t the type of person to do this kind of work, he can’t even smell the stench of dead bodies. However, it seems that Director Gao values him a lot, and he doesn’t know which almighty’s disciple he is, so it’s possible that he’s not able to find a job.
He retched for a while but didn’t spit anything out. After getting up, he spat a few times on the ground, “These dead people are so annoying. Even if they die, they won’t stop. I still have to do this kind of useless work and have bad luck.” His actions were a big taboo in front of the dead, it was a disrespect to the dead. After a person dies, the soul would choose to hide in the shadows, some souls would hide in the ground, and some souls would hide under the eaves, so it was best not to stamp their feet in the death-ground, and they couldn’t even go up to the roof, because such actions could possibly step on the dead’s head.
I walked up to him and patted his shoulder. He turned to me and said impatiently, “What are you doing?” I smiled and said, “Assistant Wang, it’s impolite of you to do this. It’s better not to …” Who cares? Seriously, do you think I’d want to come into your place and follow you around every day? I don’t see any good things, but I do see a lot of dead people. Go go, don’t bother me. ” He pushed me away.
He walked in front of the bonfire, spitting a mouthful of phlegm onto the face of one of the mummified corpses. I grabbed his hand and pulled it back for him in anger, “Are you sick? What are you spitting on? I spit in your face.” I was really angry, as most of the people in the team knew about these taboos. Firstly, it was to show respect to the dead, and secondly, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
“Lighten up, what are you doing? Are you still going to hit me?” I let him go, and he stepped aside and rubbed his arm, and I looked at him, not too angry, but wondering how someone like that could get into the department, to be a little too small, and his actions were easy to stir up trouble with, and to put it too big, they were evil, and they had an effect on his own life.
As the fire subsided, the corpses of the people who failed to do so were burned to ashes. We dug a large hole in the ground and buried the ashes, while Assistant Director Wang muttered something.
When we went back, Master’s absent-minded look made me a little worried. As expected, Senior Brother’s condition is getting worse, he hasn’t woken up for an entire day, and his entire body is worrying. The doctor told us that Senior Brother’s internal organs have started to fail, and there’s no reason for it, Master is determined to let First Martial Uncle see Senior Brother’s last time.
First Martial Uncle wasn’t very surprised to see us. Even though two of our senior brothers were in danger, I didn’t see a trace of panic on their faces. First Martial Uncle’s calm demeanor made my heart drop.
With the medicine that I brought back from Shi Yuan and the others, Senior Brother Ju E had basically recovered from his dangerous situation. His consciousness was slowly recovering, and Senior Brother Ju Yi’s situation was a little special, the First Martial Uncle had brought him to the underground space of the headquarters. Originally, the underground floor of the headquarters was even larger than the underground space, so they took the elevator down to the lowest floor.
There were many rows of vertical glass coffins, and inside, there were only people with their eyes closed, not a single trace of life. I was not sure if there were people living or dead inside, could it be that I wanted to place Senior Brother Ju Yi inside?
Sure enough, a few people wearing white put Senior Brother Ju Yi inside the glass. Separated by a thick layer of glass, looking at Senior Brother Ju Yi’s pale white face, I suddenly had a feeling that we were separated from each other by a great distance, and the moment the glass closed, it was as if we could never meet again. That kind of feeling made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
“First Martial Uncle, can senior brother be well?” It’s all up to him now. ” This was originally an experiment being conducted at Headquarters, and using the principle of freezing, he temporarily stopped the patient’s body from functioning. At the same time, this was the deepest part of Headquarters, tens of meters deep into the ground, and the earth energy that surrounded it had a great effect on the human body’s recovery. First Martial Uncle hoped to use this to stop Senior Brother Ju Yi’s body from regressing.
“Let’s go.” Seeing that the glass door was closed, First Martial Uncle’s expression suddenly dimmed, as if he had suddenly aged a few years, and his entire person became dejected.
My winter vacation is almost over, and the movements of my Longevity Hall are also becoming more and more stable. Master told me and Senior Sister to go back first, because he wants me to stay here for a while, so I know that he wants to stay here with him more because he sees that First Martial Uncle is alone and lonely. Once he is old, there are many things that he cannot handle, especially when it comes to the younger generation.
Senior Sister and I bid our farewells and went back. On the way, I looked out the window at the scenery and felt a little lost about the road ahead. The people around me fell one by one. Who would be next? I can’t even bring myself to think about it.
