Suppressing his anger, Fei Ming carefully looked at the images on the big screen.
Immediately, he saw a ground full of corpses!
"Who are they?" Fei Ming asked coldly.
"They seem to be... members of the Wang Family's Wang Rong's subordinates," one of the leaders speculated.
"That's right, they're Wang Rong's subordinates!"
"I've seen their profiles."
Other leaders confirmed one after another!
Bang!
Suddenly, Fei Ming slammed the conference table wildly.
The powerful force left a terrifying dent on the table!
"Wang Family, Wang Rong!" Fei Ming trembled with anger, grinding his teeth in fury!
This Wang Rong, must have a lion's courage!
Breaking into Lin Haode's laboratory was bad enough, but even causing the Black Matter sphere to leak?
Vicious!
Too vicious!
How could the Wang Family produce such a scoundrel?
For personal gain, did they disregard the lives of the ordinary citizens of Jiangnan City?
"Leaders, this is not the time to be angry; we must see how they plan to deal with the sphere," one leader said helplessly.
Fei Ming nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
At the same time, inside the laboratory.
"What, what is happening?"
"Damn it, we've fallen for the luring away tactic!"
The soldiers of the Seventh Squad who were diverted returned, and they were dumbfounded by the scene in the laboratory!
"Trouble, this is real trouble!"
Lin Haode was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth, urgently saying, "This sphere containing the Black Matter is specially made, requiring rare materials and a long time to make it, and we simply didn't have time to prepare a second one!"
"If all the Black Matter leaks, the entire Jiangnan City will suffer catastrophic damage. Damn Wang Rong, how can he be so selfish?!" Lin Haode was at his wit's end, sweating profusely!
"Aside from using a new sphere, is there any other solution?" Ye Qiu asked solemnly.
He was very calm, speaking while quickly finding many gas masks and throwing them to everyone present.
At least it can somewhat alleviate the harm caused by the Black Matter!
"A solution..." Lin Haode's steps suddenly stopped, his fists clenching involuntarily.
He looked at Ye Qiu, then lowered his head, contemplating for several seconds before making a decision, saying, "Now, the only way to solve the Black Matter is this."
"We need seven robust people to hold the sphere, using their bodies as vessels to absorb the Black Matter."
"But, the consequences of doing this are severe; the people who become vessels... are certain to die!"
At this point, Lin Haode lowered his head even further, feeling extremely heavy indeed, not daring to face the people around him.
In the laboratory, there were just these people!
Lin Haode, a few assistants, Ye Qiu, Bai Lan, and the Seventh Squad's soldiers!
The only ones who met the conditions were Ye Qiu and the Seventh Squad's soldiers.
These were warriors who had made countless contributions for the country and its people!
They were the pride of the nation, the heroes of the people!
How could Lin Haode bear to watch these people die because of the Black Matter?
At this time, Lin Haode's emotions were extremely complex!
Anger!
Anger at Wang Rong's selfishness, risking the lives of nearly ten million people in Jiangnan City for personal gain!
Reluctance!
Reluctant to let go of those brave soldiers of the Demon Corps!
Guilt!
Guilt for not being prepared sooner; for not making a second sphere to prevent the Black Matter leak!
"Professor Lin!" Suddenly, the captain of the Seventh Squad, Huang Zhentian, stepped forward.
He looked at Lin Haode, then at Ye Qiu, and then swept his gaze over all the soldiers of the Seventh Squad, firmly saying, "Brothers, everyone sees the current situation.
The people of Jiangnan City are already hanging by a thread; we are soldiers, and our responsibility is to defend the nation, defend the people.
So, when the people need us, we must stand up without hesitation!"
"Therefore, I am willing to become a vessel, to absorb the Black Matter. To die for protecting the people is the honor of a soldier!"
Huang Zhentian stopped his body, saluting everyone with military honor, letting out the innate majesty of a Huaxia soldier!
After speaking, finishing the salute, he quickly turned, walked to a side table, and took out paper and pen!
Writing a will!
This was an unwritten rule of the Demon Corps before every mission!
"I am willing!"
"I am also willing, to die for the people leaves me no regrets!"
With Huang Zhentian taking the lead, other soldiers also stepped forward!
Following suit, writing their wills!
They had no hesitation!
Even knowing they would face death next, there was still no hesitation!
They did it without blinking an eye!
Because they knew sacrificing their lives could save the lives of all in Jiangnan City!
Their deaths would be meaningful!
They were willing!
Only seven were needed to become vessels, but all eight soldiers of the Seventh Squad unhesitatingly wrote their wills!
At this moment, Ye Qiu's low voice suddenly echoed.
"Zhao Feng, Zheng Li, you two listen to my command and return immediately!"
"Wang…"
"Wang."
Zhao Feng and Zheng Li looked at Ye Qiu with complex expressions but ultimately didn't dare disobey the Demon King's order, retreating with red eyes.
Ye Qiu had called the two youngest soldiers in the Seventh Squad!
These two, one was about to get married, the other was about to become a father!
If only two could survive, Ye Qiu's choice was without hesitation; it had to be these two!
Out of eight people in the Seventh Squad, removing two left only six!
Seven were needed as vessels, meaning they were one short.
And that one, Ye Qiu had made an unchangeable decision from the beginning.
It had to be him!
Because he was the strongest!
Because he was the king of the Demon Corps!
More importantly, because he was a Huaxia soldier!
At this moment, at this critical juncture when the people's lives were at stake, no honor outweighed the unavoidable responsibility Ye Qiu had!
He had to step forward!
Even if it meant death, he had to step forward!
And all without hesitation!
First and foremost!
For the country, for the people!
This was the responsibility, the duty, and the very soul of a Huaxia soldier!
As the words fell, Ye Qiu, standing tall, exuding tremendous authority, strode to Bai Lan, "Bai Lan, I trust you can understand, I…"
Ye Qiu paused for about a second, clenching his right fist tightly, saying, "Bai Lan, take good care of yourself!"
He couldn't bear to leave Bai Lan!
Nor could he leave Lan Ying, Mia'er, and Sha Beibei behind.
Even more so, he couldn't abandon his brothers!
However, at this moment, despite all reluctance, he had to make the right decision!
In this vital moment of sacrifice, all soldiers were the same!
Even Demon King Ye Qiu was no exception!
Finishing his words, Ye Qiu saluted everyone present!
"Ye…" Bai Lan was completely dumbfounded, her mind blank!
She couldn't comprehend how things had come to this?
Just a moment ago, she was strolling down the street laughing with Ye Qiu; now, the moment of life and death had arrived?
Why?
Why is it like this?
Bai Lan's delicate body shook vigorously!
Such an outcome was absolutely unacceptable to her!
She wanted to stop Ye Qiu, but the words stuck in her throat, unable to even call out Ye Qiu's name.
Because she knew, Ye Qiu's decision this time, could not be altered!
No one could!
Meanwhile, inside the military district meeting room.
Over thirty leaders solemnly stood up, their eyes fixed intently on the screen!
And then… silence!
A terrifying silence!
