Chapter 638: Traitor - Lu Changkong (1)

The moonlight was faint in the haze, and the shadows of the trees danced.

In the quiet forest outside the supply area, a team of hundreds of people crossed the mountains.

Their goal this time was a domain field more than 30 miles away.

This domain field was close to Future Citys supply area. It was one of the many barrier domain fields that blocked Future City and Star City.

The members of the team were all wearing advanced technological equipment. Throughout the journey, the terrain reconnaissance drone above their heads continuously scanned the landscape ahead, relaying the information back to the tablet m the captains hand.

The warriors in the team were all wearing custom-made exoskeleton armor, hey ran through the dense forest with complicated terrain, effectively reducing their physical consumption.

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

After running for a while, the leader, Lu Changkong, suddenly stopped The other members of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team behind him also stopped when they saw this.

Replenish your strength!

Upon hearing his order, the team member immediately took out a pill from their f.a.n.n.y pack and stuffed it into their mouths before swallowing it.

The compressed energy pill quickly disintegrated in their bodies.

Cool energy swept through their bodies, and the fatigue quickly dissipated. After a short rest, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team continued to attack the target.

As they advanced quickly, Lu Changkong kept scanning the area ahead with a solemn expression.

This mission came suddenly and he only had three days to prepare.

This time, the mission a.s.signed by the superior was to execute a surprise attack on a domain combat team that had already entered the Beast-heart domain field. The objective was to dismantle this combat team and seize some spiritual resources.

The information he could obtain about this mission was limited.

However, he knew that this domain combat team seemed to know some secrets during the last mission. This was also the reason why his superiors wanted to eliminate it.

LU Changkong didnt think it was important if this domain combat team knew the secret of the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute.

Just the possibility of hidden dangers was enough to make his superior want to eliminate them.

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

However, after years of wandering, he harbored no complaints in his heart even though he was aware that his superior was a domain creature consistently opposed to humans.

Memories returned to that day.

Back then, he had graduated from the Winter Academy and stepped onto the front line with the same expectations for the future of humanity as the other graduates. He hoped to contribute to the future of humanity.

In the days at the frontline, he had witnessed true cruelty, but he had no regrets.

Until one day, he received bad news.

His younger sister, whom he had depended on since childhood, fell seriously ill and was swiftly transported to Future City Hospital for treatment.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Lu Changkong at that time.

It was his younger sister who supported him through the pain time and time again. The money he had risked his life to earn at the front line was not only used to buy equipment but also sent to his sister in Future City.

He knew that his sister had always had a dream to become an alchemist.

He wanted to fulfill his sisters wish.

An alchemist didnt have to go to the front line; her life wasnt at risk in the rear. This was also his desire.

Every time he returned to the combat teams base from the front line, he would immediately collect the package and see what his sister had sent.

His room in the base was filled with his sisters awards.

This was the only consolation in Lu Changkongs heart. He felt that he had done was worth it.

everything

Each time he video-called his sister and witnessed her growth, he felt content. However, he did not expect his sister to be seriously ill and suffer from a terminal illness. Current medical methods could not treat her at all.

At this moment, his world collapsed.

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

upon seeing his sister again, he observed her pale face, and thin body, lying on the medical bed with a weary expression. Her eyes lacked their usual l.u.s.ter. Unable to tolerate this outcome, Lu Changkong went crazy and started searching for a way to save his sister on the Internet.

Following that, he took the initiative to locate the Future Research Inst.i.tute aspiring to leverage the inst.i.tutes advanced technology to address his sisters

However, after the staff at the Future Research Inst.i.tute reviewed the details of his sisters medical records, they regretfully conveyed that the inst.i.tute had ong abandoned medical research projects and couldnt offer any effective a.s.sistance. They suggested seeking help from the United Military Hospital. At that time, Lu Changkong seemed to have found a straw to clutch at and came to the United Military Hospital to seek help.

At that time, he was received by a female doctor.

After checking the details of his sisters medical record, the female doctor told him the truth. It was these words that agitated him.

She mentioned that the United Military Hospital had special medications that could potentially save her, but the production of these specific medicines was extremely limited. Only six bottles were produced each year, exclusively reserved for human warriors who had earned the Medal of Outstanding Contribution. 6

These words shattered the determination in Lu Changkongs heart.

He knew that the United Military Hospital chose to do this because of the overall situation of humans.

The heroes who received the Medal of Outstanding Contribution were the Pillars of human civilization and the pioneers on the path of human civilization.

However, he was still unwilling.

He had the means to save her, so why didnt he? He couldnt bear to witness his sisters untimely demise.

To help his sister treat her illness, he returned to the front line.

He pleaded with the regiment commander and the members of the combat team with influential backgrounds, hoping to secure their a.s.sistance.

Despite their collective efforts, they had all exerted themselves Yet unfortunately, they had all met with failure..
