Chapter 145 Embrace

Chapter 145 Embrace
Zong Fang's eyes were cold, and the laser sword in his hand flashed a dim light. He rushed towards Wei Shou in an instant. The sword drew a sharp arc of light in the air. The surrounding dust and gravel trembled slightly in his force field, as if even the air made way for him.

Wei Shou quickly controlled the puppet to intercept, but Zong Fang was like a ghost on the battlefield, easily cutting off the obstacles in front of him. Every time he swung his sword, there was a dazzling light and a sound of breaking through the air, and the puppet was split in two like a piece of paper under the sword blade.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." Wei Shou gritted his teeth and resisted, his voice filled with reluctance and anger. At the same time, he knew that he would be in great danger today.

Zongfang ignored him and jumped up to attack the opponent. His pressure spread, and the puppets in the field that looked exactly like him seemed to be shattered by an invisible force and turned into dust.

"What kind of thing is worthy of being like me?"

Wei Shou retreated in horror. He tried to mobilize more puppets, but to no avail.

"Your game is over."

Zong Fang's voice was low and ruthless. After he finished speaking, his cold eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils, and his huge mental power shattered everything around him. He pierced Wei Shou's heart accurately with a sword, and the hot energy was released inside his body, instantly vaporizing his internal tissues.

Wei Shou's body was like a deflated balloon, being sucked dry and turned into a piece of human skin. The next second, all the puppets disappeared.

Under the fading interstellar afterglow, the silent ruins exuded a poignant loneliness. The last ray of sunset light slowly receded from the horizon, the sky was dyed a deep and mysterious violet, the stars began to wake up in the night, and everything returned to peace.

Zongfang stood alone, his heartbeat growing louder in the silence.

These hands that had experienced killing were trembling at this moment, not because of fear, but because they were full of expectation and anxiety.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then slowly turned around and faced Qiao Suisui, but he didn't dare to look up at her. His figure was immersed in the mottled bloodstains and the afterglow of the setting sun.

She was right in front of him, like a gentle light that penetrated the fog in Zongfang's heart. But with every step he took, his worries seemed to grow heavier.

He was afraid that her coming was just a false joy for him, that she would never want to see him again, and that all the good things in the past had become a forgotten memory.

When I can't see her, I want to see her every minute.

But even though she was right in front of him, Zongfang didn't dare to go forward.

Suddenly, a gentle call broke the silence: "Mongfang."

Her voice was like the warm spring breeze, blowing away the frost and snow in Zongfang's heart. Zongfang looked up in surprise and saw her smiling, her eyes gentle but firm.

She asked, "What was the first sentence of my letter to you?"

Zong Fang was stunned, his voice was a little confused: "What letter? You wrote me a letter?"

Qiao Suisui was already smiling at this time, but she still asked something that only the two of them knew: "When will the tree in the space bloom?"

"If you like, I'll let it open now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Susu quickly ran towards him.

It won't be wrong this time.

He was the paranoid fool who loved her.

Her smile was as bright as the stars, brilliant and warm. She hugged him tightly, and the next second the man's hands hugged her even tighter, as if to fill up all the blanks of their years.

They clung to each other under the sunset sky, and the ruins and suffering around them seemed to have faded away. "I'm late." Zongfang's voice was hoarse and powerful.

Qiao Suisui leaned on his solid chest, her eyes red, but with a relieved smile: "As long as you come, it's not too late."
-
some years ago.

In order to avoid the annoying classes, Munakata, who had just been able to transform from animal form to human form, hid under the round table in the spacious conference room and accidentally heard a conversation among the adults.

".If that's the case, then at least I should use top-notch orcs to conduct the experiment, so that I can justify the many star coins I allocated."

“Have the results been evaluated?”

"Don't worry. Once this drug is successfully developed, the orcs' mental power will be mobilized to the peak, and those injected will lose consciousness. By then, you will have a top-notch army without thoughts that can strike wherever you point your finger."

"Zong Yan, please give this plan a name." The person who spoke was the current head of the federation.

They sat around a luxurious round table, smoking and chatting, as if they were discussing not life but a game of chess.

Under the round table, Zongfang heard his father's voice: "Let's call it the Crucible Project."

The Crucible not only represents the extreme physical and mental manipulation of the orcs, but also symbolizes the complete destruction and reshaping of their souls and will.

And those elites who were selected from thousands of people were trained as experimental subjects from the very beginning.

The Crucible Project was carried out without anyone noticing. Once it was launched, it achieved great results. All the orcs injected with the drug had their mental strength improved. Although the effect could only last for 20 minutes, it was already a milestone success. There was only one side effect, which was that the orcs injected with the drug would go berserk for no reason. At that time, only 9.8% of the orcs in the entire galaxy went berserk due to genetic defects.

The reason given by the experimenters is that the drug is still in the research and development stage and is not yet stable.

At the same time, Dadligne broke the news that local villagers collectively showed strange symptoms, suspected to be unknown chemicals in the water source.

Seeing that the matter of the underground experimental base had leaked out, and it was during the election period, in order to cover up the matter, Zong Yan proposed to the leader to silence him and not to wait for the drug to be tested, but to use the elite troops directly for the experiment.

So he set a trap and sent all the members of the elite force to Dadligne. At the same time, he ordered the bombing of the local village and killed all those who knew about it and those who didn't, so as to catch them all in one fell swoop and eliminate the trouble once and for all.

But they forgot that they had trained a tough and excellent army. A small number of people escaped, and most of the rest were sent to underground laboratories for live experiments.

When the leader's party learned that someone had escaped, they were worried that the secret would be exposed.

At this time, the emperor of the then insignificant Oslan Empire, Gorba III, extended an olive branch to the leader, proposing to blame the disaster of Dardline on the escaped people. So the leader and his party jointly planned the "Battle of the Two Wings". Just after the Battle of the Two Wings, the Oslan Empire rose rapidly with the support of the Federation.

Zong Yan ordered people to spread inducers on the battlefield. These inducers were not injected by the rebels, but were pretended by the Federation. They believed that the Crucible Project could transform the physique of all orcs and form the most powerful legion on the planet of "Sky City". Therefore, they needed a large number of "experimental subjects". And this way, they could kill two birds with one stone. In this way, they could not only eliminate the rebels in the chaos, but also select the real strong ones from the cruel survival of the fittest. And these inducers were not something that would cause orcs to go berserk as officially stated, but were drugs developed in the Crucible Project.

As a result, large numbers of orcs fell into infighting and frenzy.

Knowing the truth, Zongfang kept the secret for many years. At first, he didn't even dare to sleep deeply, for fear that he would reveal everything in his sleep and become the next target of silencing. Later, he deliberately became more and more rebellious and extreme, repeatedly opposing his father and showing extreme enthusiasm for scientific research. He was always looking for an opportunity to break with his father.

Zong Fang does not think of himself as a savior, nor is he interested in being one. He did not choose to reveal everything to the world, but he was deeply disgusted by what his family, his father, and even the entire federation had done.

Year after year, he has been playing the role of an uncontrollable, paranoid lunatic, and as he plays, he seems to have really become such a person - because only in this role can he escape from his family, escape from his father's shadow, and escape from this ugly world.

His disgust for this world never stopped until he fell in love with Qiao Susu, and then he began to have all kinds of worries.

 So far, the cause and effect of the Double Wings War have been explained. Next, let's see whose card will be flipped? Princess Ka or Princess Zong?
