Chapter 1: The Eclipse of the Blood Moon

Next Chapter

Fog, a thick fog obscured all view, and the surroundings seemed to be in a primeval forest, damp and gloomy. Yang Ming didn't know where he was, and he couldn't see the situation around him clearly, he only felt that he was in a fog, wandering aimlessly.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound, "Click...... Click......! The sound of the gunshot, this voice Yang Ming couldn't be more familiar, as if he instinctively reacted, he arched his body, waiting for the gunfire to approach.

But at this time, a soldier wearing a camouflage military uniform and covered in blood suddenly rushed out of the dense fog, he seemed to be seriously injured, and stumbled straight towards Yang Ming along the way.

Yang Ming suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very familiar and familiar, so he subconsciously wanted to reach out to help this soldier covered in blood, but this soldier was obviously at the end of the crossbow, and he fell directly into Yang Ming's arms without standing firmly.

"Yang Ming, you go quickly, they are coming, don't care about me, don't care about me!" This soldier covered in blood roared hard in Yang Ming's arms, as if he wanted to exhaust the last trace of energy of his life to warn Yang Ming.

"Leopard, leopard, it's all right! You believe me, I will definitely take you out, you believe me, you believe me......" When Yang Ming saw this soldier with a bloody face clearly, Yang Ming immediately hugged him and shouted loudly.

At this moment, Yang Ming suddenly remembered everything, this is the battlefield, this is the battlefield he has left, and in his arms are his comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms who depend on each other in life and death!

At this time, Yang Ming's emotions immediately became excited, he trembled his hands, desperately trying to hold down the wounds on his comrades' bodies, but the blood was like spring water, still flowing out along his hands. And at this time, Yang Ming's mouth kept shouting: "You believe me, you believe me, I will take you out, I will take you out!" I don't know if Yang Ming is comforting himself at this time, or if he really wants his comrades in his arms to believe it.

"Yang Ming, I'm really not good, ...... Let's go, ...... quickly" The comrade-in-arms in Yang Ming's arms struggled for the last time, and then his body gradually softened, and the whole person stopped breathing.

"Ah...... Ah......h At this time, the dense fog around Yang Ming suddenly gradually dispersed, and then a face full of blood was revealed, some were hideous, some were painful, some were crying, and all kinds of miserable faces began to rotate around Yang Ming, these faces were Yang Ming's former friends, comrades-in-arms, enemies and some innocent people.

"No......" With a loud roar, Yang Ming opened his eyes violently, and his body bounced up.

But when Yang Ming saw clearly that the surrounding walls were just empty, he realized that he was not on the dark battlefield just now, all this was just a dream, a very real, very real dream.

"Whew, whew, whew......!" , Yang Ming gasped one after another, his body was already soaked with sweat, he looked very weak at the moment, this weakness was not just physical, but came from the weakness in Yang Ming's heart.

"Bang bang bang!" Before Yang Ming's mood calmed down, there was a sound of knocking on the wall next door, and then a slightly mean female voice sounded: "What are you shouting, don't let people watch TV well, I'll listen to you this night." If you're sick, go to the doctor if you're sick, don't always be in the house screaming, don't be annoying! ”

Although this voice contained contempt and meanness, it made Yang Ming feel the fireworks in the world, and gradually got rid of the coldness of the dream just now.

Yang Ming, male, 26 years old, once belonged to the Qinglong Special Forces, has a resolute and calm personality, has received professional combat training, is very proficient in technical combat, hand-to-hand combat and all kinds of firearms, and is extremely self-disciplined is a very standard soldier.

But due to some special reasons, Yang Ming had to retire from the army he was most familiar with, and now he lives alone in this shared house in Xihai City, and the somewhat mean woman outside just now is Yang Ming's second landlord.

Yang Ming didn't pay attention to the landlady's swearing at the moment, but slowly got off the bed and stretched his body that had just stiffened due to nervousness.

At this time, the landlady also vented her dissatisfaction, and some gunshots and fighting sounds began to come from next door, listening to this sound, it should be that the landlady was watching a movie such as a gunfight movie, and it is estimated that Yang Ming was brought into those dreams that he did not want to recall by the gunshots in the movie.

Yang Ming moved his body and pushed open the window in front of him, the early autumn night had a hint of coolness, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of people coming and going on the street. Although it is already evening, in Xihai City, this time is the busiest time for nightlife. Yang Ming looked at the lively street scene and the endless flow of people outside the window, and the haze in his heart gradually faded.

The place where Yang Ming rents is an old commercial street in Xihai City, where there are many shops, song halls, bars, bathing centers and other entertainment venues, but the facilities here are relatively old, and it is not a place for high-end business people in the center of the city.

Because the flow of people here is relatively mixed, and the window is very noisy, so the rent here is very cheap, although the rent is cheap, but there are still few people here. But Yang Ming was very satisfied with this place, especially the crowded scenery outside the window, and the noisy sounds, which made him feel that he was still alive.

"Ringing ringing!" Just as Yang Ming was looking at the pedestrians on the street and feeling the coolness of early autumn, the phone he put on the bedside suddenly rang.

Yang Ming picked up the phone and looked at the strange number displayed on it strangely, Yang Ming had just been discharged from the army and came to Xihai City not long ago, and even this phone was newly bought, so not many people knew this phone number, and it was so late now, it stands to reason that no one could look for him!

"Hey, that one." Yang Ming hesitated, but still answered the phone.

"Brother Yang, is it really you, Brother Yang? It's me! Meng Junhu, Huzi! I heard from Lao Lan that you were discharged from the army and came to the West Sea, so I can't wait to contact you as soon as I receive the news. Brother Yang, how about tomorrow, okay? I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow, brother, I haven't seen anyone in the army for a long time, so now we have to catch up. After the phone was connected, a man's excited voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh! It turned out to be a tiger! It's been a long time since we've seen each other, but I didn't expect you to be in the West Sea! Okay, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, and I just want to meet old friends and catch up. Yang Ming listened to the voice on the phone and smiled knowingly.

It is a fortunate thing for anyone to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, not to mention Yang Ming, who is now black-eyed in Xihai City, so Yang Ming immediately agreed to Meng Junhu's appointment.

"Gotcha! Brother Yang, you send me your address in a while, I will pick you up tomorrow morning, since you have arrived in the West Sea, then brother, I must treat you well, okay, it's not convenient to talk on the phone, let's see you tomorrow. "Meng Junhu is a fiery character, so he doesn't drag his feet when he gets things done, and immediately settles the matter.

"Okay, I'll send you the address later, see you tomorrow." Yang Ming agreed, and then hung up the phone.

Yang Ming was born in the countryside since he was a child, his parents died early, and he grew up relying on the help and care of the villagers, so in order not to cause trouble to the villagers, he joined the army very early, not only can he be self-reliant, but he can also often send money back to help the township build some facilities.

This time, Yang Ming was forced to retire from the army due to some special reasons, so he felt that he didn't have the face to go back to his hometown to see his father, so he sent most of the recovery money he received when he was discharged from the army back to his hometown, and he came to Xihai City alone.

Yang Ming put the phone on the windowsill casually, looking at the endless crowd downstairs, some people were happy, some people were scolding, some people were sorry for me, some people were depressed and disappointed, and some people shouted excitedly, what is the meaning of people living, in addition to fighting each other, hating each other, fighting each other for interests, what do people live for, and what do I live for!

Yang Ming was originally a special soldier of the peacekeeping force, and he was one of the few soldiers who had seen real battlefield battles in peacetime, but since returning from the army and entering this modern metropolis, Yang Ming was a little dazed for a while, and even had doubts about the meaning of his own existence.

"Xiaoxiao, look, there are meteors in the sky!" A young boy's voice rang out on a platform below Yang Ming's side.

"Meteor, it's really a meteor, hurry up and make a wish, hurry!" Then a girl's excited voice replied.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't have to be so excited, I heard the forecast that today is a once-in-a-century meteor shower and a lunar eclipse together, so we have time to appreciate it!" The boy said proudly, as if he had already prepared for this date.

Yang Ming looked up with the voices of the two people, and sure enough, the stars were shining in the sky, and a meteor crossed by from time to time, and there were more and more meteors that slipped down, but the moon was big and bright, and there was no sign of a lunar eclipse for the time being.

Just when Yang Ming also wanted to enjoy this once-in-a-century wonder, the moon suddenly covered with a layer of bright red, which was as gorgeous as blood, and the scenery under the moon was instantly dyed red.

"Blood Moon?" Yang Ming looked at the change of the moon in the sky in surprise, and such an adjective came out of his heart inexplicably, but at this moment, it was very suitable to describe the moon in the sky now.

Yang Ming looked at this strange blood-red moon, but he faintly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, this kind of uneasiness Yang Ming only appeared at the most critical moment of the battlefield battle, and this feeling has not appeared for a long time since he was discharged from the army.

At this time, suddenly the central light of the blood moon flashed, and a beam of red light shot straight at Yang Ming, Yang Ming looked at the red light shot down from the sky, first stunned for a moment, and then instinctively wanted to dodge, but his strong physique after years of training couldn't move half a minute, and could only watch the weird red light sink into his body.
