Chapter 219: Chapter 125 Commander_2

The middle-aged man driving had red-rimmed eyes and nodded, then he lifted his hand to wipe his eyes, turned his head towards Fu Jian squeezed in the back seat with pots and pans and smiled, but did not say much.

The SUV was soon jammed on the highway, and they traveled less than a hundred kilometers in thirty hours.

Fu Jian recalled the first clear image in his memory.

It was on the fourth day after they had left the city, passing a small city, where the sun was shining brightly and the weather was pleasant.

Not far from the highway, in a field dotted with fruit and vegetable greenhouses, the ground suddenly bulged upward!

A gigantic ’chthonian’ burst out of the ground, shooting dozens of meters into the air, its massive body smashing several greenhouses!

Inside the SUV, his father cursed, his mother screamed in panic, and Fu Jian stared blankly.

A dense swarm of Basic Blade Beasts emerged from the large hole, like a ’Black Fountain’ bursting from the ground, each beast terrifying.

A swarm of Blade Beasts charged toward the small city, another toward the highway.

Fu Jian’s father turned the steering wheel fiercely, the modified SUV surged over the emergency lane, broke through the highway barrier, and rushed into the field.

Screams, cries for help, calls.

Fu Jian strained to look back at the highway, seeing the chaotic line of cars, people hurriedly getting out and fleeing in this direction, ’Blade Beast Rollers’ rolling over at high speed, crushing human bodies, and Basic Blade Beasts with their blade limbs rapidly reaping human lives.

"Darling!"

Fu Jian abruptly turned back and saw a tall ridge suddenly appear in front, the SUV directly crashing into it.

The scene went black.

Flashes of memory passed, the six-year-old Fu Jian was carried out of the SUV by a group of soldiers, held in the arms of a soldier rushing toward a nearby helicopter.

That year, he lost his parents and his home.

...

[12 years before the Fortress Era]

On the edge of a plateau, training camp.

Fu Jian’s memories gradually became clearer but were filled with relatively monotonous training content: physical training, shooting training, long-weapon combat training, Blade Beast weakness lectures, and so on.

Fu Jian was learning constantly; there were not many important memories.

Only colorful fragments were one of the most memorable images in his mind.

A female soldier captured his heart during a simulated shooting competition after he lost to her.

The memories then took on some rosy hues; Fu Jian tried his best to be assigned to the same company, the same battlefield. Both carried tactical backpacks patrolling the mountains, finally came the rare vacation, and in a small tent, he tasted the forbidden fruit of love.

"Fu Jian..."

She called out tenderly, her mind confused with emotion.

That handsome face, with a hint of allure, suddenly turned pale and empty-eyed a few days later.

The female soldier’s bisected body lay on a stretcher, her waist torn by sharp blade limbs still dripping blood.

Fu Jian knelt beside the stretcher, clutching his lover’s hand tightly, tears tried to flow but were consistently restrained, he said nothing, poured a small amount of allocated fuel on her and lit it with a lighter.

"I love you," he choked out, "and I will in the next life too."

...

[8 years before the Fortress Era]

The Half-human Mecha project was officially proposed.

"Those who want to participate in the modification project, step forward!"

Shush, shush, fifty-six people from the company simultaneously stepped forward.

"The modification project can be lethal! Currently, the survival rate is only twenty percent! We will replace your spine with machinery! Even if you survive the surgery, you might still end up with high paralysis! Those who do not wish to die, step back two paces!"

No one moved.

The company commander smirked, jumped down from the pole in front, and stood in front of Fu Jian, saluting to the empty pole!

"My Qiongshan Special Combat Army Fourth Group First Battalion Sixth Company, all volunteer for the modification project!"

Fu Jian took a deep breath, along with the other fifty-five teammates, and repeated the shout loudly.

Yet, after the shouting, these figures gradually dimmed, swallowed by the darkness at the edge of memory, leaving only four who continued the journey together.

Modification, mechanical arm trial fitting, equipping the First Generation Destruction Cannon, battlefield trial, joining the battle, death charge.

Fu Jian’s comrades continually fell beside him, and new comrades continually arrived.

In his memories, terrifying General-level Blade Beasts began to appear, Blade Beast Groups like tidal waves surged forth, and artillery fire almost obscured the sky.

Human fronts were continually torn apart by Blade Beasts;

Humanity never ceased its resistance;

Fu Jian constantly lay on the operating table, sometimes seriously wounded receiving treatment, sometimes having body parts removed.

And his face gradually transformed from youth, his eyes unyieldingly determined from start to finish.

All he had now was this resolve.

...

[First Year of the Fortress Era]

In Fu Jian’s view, this was a somewhat dim conference room, where he sat in the corner.

In a not fully matured three-dimensional projection, the Secretary of the Human Combat Zones Joint Governing Council was seen reading the "Fortress Declaration."

A dozen generals in military uniforms, from different combat zones, continuously smoked and discussed in low voices.

Their words were mostly pessimistic.

Because they knew the internal situation of human resources and how terrifying the Blade Beast Clan really was.

"Twelve Pillars, alas, twelve of the most powerful King-level Blade Beasts, and we are currently only combating five of them, and the five continents are completely lost."

"Do not be too pessimistic, according to the latest satellite data analysis, the activity of the central Blade Beast Clan has significantly decreased over the past three years, they seem to be hibernating, and the active ones are just the peripheral five pillars leading the Blade Beast Groups."
