Chapter 189: The Ambition of the Human Heart
Shengjing
The cold wind swished and went straight into the bones of people. The moonlight is like water, but it is ice water.
On the silent road, a group of ten soldiers, all with guns on their shoulders, walked loosely on the suburban road. There is no gendarme to picket their manners, and in an era when life is precarious, most people don't care about image anymore.
On both sides of the road, winter wheat has been sown. Gray dirt is all over the view. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in this vicinity, but it is far from enough to supply the population of the entire Shengjing City.
Today, Shengjing is already a super city. Around the original urban area, a large number of three-storey slab houses were built. And in order to ensure that they stay warm during the winter, huge boilers stand in all directions.
The duty of Li Quan's group of soldiers is to patrol, prevent wild beasts, and most importantly, prevent foreign beasts from destroying farmland. Therefore, the soldiers in this group were all lieutenant officers of the seventh column.
If they are defeated, the captain can call in artillery or helicopter gunships for support within three minutes. In today's wartime system, no one dares to neglect their duties. Or rather, those who neglect their duties have lost their heads.
The Northeast Plain is divided into farms, and all the people on the farms go to work by helicopter. Even so, the rate of casualties among farmers remains high.
After patrolling for a while, they stopped to rest.
In the middle of the night, they were not in the mood to speak, and after arranging the sentry, they all sat down to eat some dry food and drink some hot water. In these days, that's already a good treat.
Li Quan was not in the mood to eat, he took out a spar, pinched it with two fingers, and reflected it on the moon, and the purple light revealed an evil charm. The purple light was projected on Li Quan's face, reflecting a hideous scar. The scar starts at the bridge of the nose and extends to the neck and to the major arteries.
He stroked the scar and remembered the battle two months earlier. Guns roared, blood spilled, not in Africa, but on the battlefield after all. This may be the fate of mercenaries.
Lao Zhao, bolts, mules, dandelions...... One by one, they fell, and the blood soaked the land until he was left alone. No one to accompany him to get drunk and brag about it, it's really lonely.
He was co-opted in a mess, but is this the end of this life?
What can he do if he is unwilling?
One by one, superpowers were incorporated into the seventh column and became the line of defense to protect all beings, but Li Quan was unwilling. He was not reconciled to the fate of being a screw.
Twelve years ago, he was unwilling to do this, so he led a group of people to various battlefields in Asia, Africa and Latin America, pursuing the path of becoming a man between iron and blood.
Twelve years later, the brothers are all dead, and is he still going to live this life in mediocrity?
Li Quan smiled and said in a low voice: "If you want to die in the sky, not 40,000 years." As he spoke, he put the hedron away and remained silent. It's not safe enough, and he hasn't forgotten the end of the chestnut.
The patrol continued, and Li Quan slowly fell behind. As a veteran fritter who has been in the army for twelve years, getting rid of this team is a breeze for him.
Soon, Li Quan disappeared into the night.
Alone, standing in the middle of a desolate wheat field, he opened his mouth and swallowed the purple hedron in the moonlight. Here he throws his fist at the damned fate, either rising or sinking.
The hedron fell into the stomach, and a huge heat immediately filled the limbs. The moonlight shone on his body, and there seemed to be patches of vermilion scales hidden under his skin, strange and mysterious. Driven by the raging heat, the vermilion scales were revealed one by one, enveloping him heavily.
His dark eyes turned golden, and his cold vertical pupils flashed with a cold and cruel light. He let out a long howl of pain, his skin cracked, blood splattered out, and there was a hint of gold in the red. A terrifying orange-red flame erupted from his mouth, burning the gray earth into a piece of smooth glass.
An hour later, Li Quan, whose clothes were all ashes, lay on the ground and laughed, wanton and arrogant. He once won a bet, and it was as if fate had favored him.
After resting for a while, Li Quan stood up elegantly, his skin was like steel cast in iron, but his movements were as light as a cheetah. His pupils were completely golden, but not as fake as a gecko like a Westerner. It's a real gold, gold-like color, without the slightest blemish, but it makes people feel weird.
He lifted his foot and swept seven or eight meters, but he startled himself. Li Quan groaned for a while, and he did not return to Shengjing. Instead, he looked at the peninsula to the southeast.
The chaos is coming, and there must be a place for heroes there. Just use this life to fight and see if you are a dragon or a worm?
Li Quan disappeared on the vast plain in a hurry.
Yingcheng.
The sky only released a trace of bright color, Tao Dian opened his eyes early, today is his big day.
At the head of the bed was a folded green uniform. Previously, he had been reluctant not to try it on, just to be more handsome today.
The small room was divided in half by curtains, half for him and half for his mother and half for his sister. After today, he can move out, and his sister no longer has to squeeze into a small bed with her mother.
In addition to two brown beds, there is only one refrigerator in this room. Originally, there was a washing machine, but in order to raise Tao Xue's tuition, it was sold.
There was a stack of books on the fridge, which had been brought from home. It was originally for Tao Xue, but unfortunately it can't be used now.
The climate in the southeast is mild, and even in winter, it is not very cold. He jumped up and washed his face with cold water, and found that his mother and sister had left without knowing when.
He didn't care, he tried to comb his hairstyle, and then put on his military uniform with some excitement. Look at the epaulettes, this is a corporal's uniform, that is, Tao Dian is already a non-commissioned officer when he joins the army.
As soon as you hear it, you may understand that, yes, this is still the seventh column recruiting new people. Tao Dian passed the assessment and successfully joined the company. His strength and agility had just crossed the line, so he was joined as a corporal. From this day on, he is a professional soldier.
And now, the military is one of the highest-paying professions.
There were no mirrors in the house, so Tao Dian straightened his uniform against the glass window to make it look more straight, and pushed the door open. In an instant, he was stunned, and he saw the two smiling faces of his mother and sister.
Tao Xue and her mother were holding a round plate, and inside the plate was a round egg cake, on which a line of words was written in bright red ketchup: "Life is safe".
"Adian, take care of yourself. ”
"Brother, be good. ”
Tao Dian raised his head, laughed, tried to arch his arms, and said, "Don't worry, I'm very strong." With that, he immediately ran out. He was afraid that if he was too late, tears would burst out of his eyes.

Yu Momo took out her card, swiped open the security door and walked into the research institute.
She was one of the many employees of the nameless institute, tasked with tracing the words on the bones. She was originally an art graduate, and she worked as a painter, uh, which was to draw comics. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to participate in high-level scientific research, although all this is not scientific at all.
She got a huge leg bone, horizontal on the fiberglass tabletop, with a length of two meters seven, you can imagine how tall this guy was when he was alive.
The leg bones were as crystal clear as jade, Yu Momo curiously tapped with the barrel of the pen, and the bones made a sound as warm as jade. But her curiosity ended there, and she couldn't afford to break it. For today's work, Yu Momo is very satisfied. Although their salary income is average, their salary structure today is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to money, Mibu oil tea, salt, sauce and meat have everything, everything you can think of, the research institute has basically taken it into account. Working alone is enough to support a family, so Yu Momo's work has never been more serious, and she never forgot to sleep and eat so much when she graduated from college.
A tenth of the painting work on the skeleton was completed, and the day passed. Yu Momo reluctantly went home, the food in the institute was really good, she would rather work overtime if possible, but unfortunately there was no overtime system in the hospital.
Half a month later, all the painting work has been completed. The institute was merciful and gave a five-day vacation to the employees who worked hard to paint. But not all of the institutes are on vacation.
In the basement, an old man is holding a cinnabar pen, carefully sketching lines. Pieces of rune paper took shape under his pen. This is a member of the Heavenly Master Dao, the aura is revived, and there can be no Taoist people. But compared to the horror of mutant beasts, Taoist methods obviously can't keep up with the times, but fortunately, drawing talismans is their housekeeping skill, so they were hired by the research institute with a high salary to test the rune effect on the beast bones.
There are a lot of runes on this monster's body, and the tests one by one, the combination tests, and various tests have been done thousands of times, and finally there are quite a few results.
According to experiments, there are seven runes that work together to control the soil. How to control it is easy to study, but what is the mechanism of control and how to promote it on a large scale still needs further research.
On the land of China, different people are doing different things. Maybe some people just work quietly, maybe some people just to support their families, maybe their efforts are not remembered, but history is made up of these ordinary people.
Moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also learn to bloom peonies. Thousands of mosses come together to occupy half of the icy tundra of the Arctic. Thousands of ordinary people gather together, and it is a torrent that changes the world.
Moon
Du Lengqiu sent his incarnation and the heavens away, they wanted to do a very dangerous thing, but they had to do it. Taiyu Heavenly Palace turned into a flame robe and draped over the body of the white bone incarnation, lining him like a god.
With a swipe of one hand, the space cracked layer by layer, and she jumped into it, followed by the white bone avatar. The space then closes, and the process seems simple.
When Du Lengqiu turned around, Dong Shu was looking at himself with blank eyes, and there were rows of bookshelves not far from him, which were the secret books in the Taiyu Dao Palace.
As a treasure of cultivation, these are too wasteful to mold in the palace. Now it is just right for Zhang Lingcui and Qi Xiaoxian to gain knowledge. When Du Lengqiu was weak, he might have treasured it, for fear of being taken advantage of, but now, he can already think about it from a higher level.
It is never wrong to cultivate more strong people, more strong people who are in the same camp as yourself. Du Lengqiu didn't have time to push this matter, so naturally he could only hand it over to Zhang Lingcui and Qi Xiaoxian, the senior sisters of the Allure Martial Arts Hall.
As for Du Lengqiu himself, he flicked his sleeves, turned Dong Shu into a book and put it away, gently held a spar, and said softly: "Use the Divine Power Star Diamond." ”
"Use the Divine Power Star Diamond Yellow Turban Lux, grade nine, and stay for three hundred and sixty days. ”
"Anchor the world. ”
"Search for Weak Crystal Wall ......"
A strange picture came into Du Lengqiu's mind. The lush Jiangnan water town, the men and women who are crying, and the fairy dancing in Lingbo, the picture is clear at first, and then slowly covered by the fog.
