Initially, it was only by consuming the forbidden fruit that one could gain power beyond the ordinary.
At that time, the extraordinary individuals were like superheroes or supervillains, engaging in spectacular battles again and again in a world predominantly populated by ordinary people.
But with the appearance of extraordinary beasts, the balance was broken.
Many villages were easily destroyed by extraordinary beasts, and tens of thousands of people, young and old, were slaughtered and preyed upon overnight.
The army was deployed, and militias were organized, but casualties continued to occur. Humans were no longer at the top of the food chain; the number of extraordinary beasts increased too quickly.
In just a few months, a beast could give birth to a litter of cubs, and in just two years, the cubs could grow into monsters impervious to blades and guns, preying on people.
Human activity zones constantly shrank; mountain climbing and spring outings became extremely dangerous adventures.
It was then that the Xing Tian Warriors were born.
Large numbers of armed police injected with Xing Tian blood were dispatched to various places, wielding sharp axes to fight against all kinds of extraordinary beasts, while simultaneously eliminating all extraordinary individuals who committed evil deeds.
No one knew the origin of the Xing Tian Warriors, and no one knew where the Xing Tian Warriors usually trained, but every time extraordinary power invaded, the Xing Tian Warriors would appear.
At that time, the Xing Tian Warriors represented hope, represented light.
But...
Behind this peace, young lives were actually vanishing one after another.
The average lifespan of a Xing Tian Warrior is only 2 years, and after death, they can still fight for humanity for 3 years. Eventually, the Xing Tian blood in their bodies is depleted, and they completely die.
Zhou Shaoyang was born in a peaceful era protected by the Xing Tian Warriors. His biggest goal when joining the army was to become a Xing Tian Warrior.
However, by a strange twist of fate, he became a commander.
A Xing Tian Warrior who has died can still fight for three years, but without a commander, the Xing Tian Warrior is nothing more than a monster that kills indiscriminately.
Therefore, from the day they become a Xing Tian Warrior, in addition to fighting, Xing Tian Warriors also need to constantly self-hypnotize and self-program with the assistance of equipment, set their action guidelines, and imprint these guidelines into every cell of their bodies.
In this way, after death, the commander can control the Xing Tian Warrior through specific commands, manipulating the Xing Tian Warrior to continue fighting, rather than allowing the Xing Tian Warrior to become a monster and a scourge.
"Zhang Sencheng, code 7323, attention!"
"Bai Hexi, code 6557, attention!"
"Gu Yuetao, code 5244, attention!"
"Tang Wenhua, code 2288, attention!"
"Guan Yulin, code 6699, attention!"
Zhou Shaoyang had a total of five Xing Tian Warriors under his command, protecting the safety of Silver City.
He only learned the secret of the Xing Tian Warriors on the day he became a commander. He admitted that he flinched at that moment; he was still young and didn't want to die prematurely.
Now, as a commander, he can still protect the safety of the people, and he is at least very satisfied.
The thing he did most every day was to control the Xing Tian Warriors to patrol through commands, day after day, year after year, from eighteen to twenty, always like this.
But in his twenty-first year, the Xing Tian Warriors he controlled stopped moving because their Xing Tian blood was depleted.
It was also in this year that he was assigned new Xing Tian Warriors and participated in the 'Sea of Blood Battle'. In that battle, he personally witnessed countless Xing Tian Warriors fighting fearlessly. The Xing Tian Warriors under him were replaced batch after batch. Those Xing Tian Warriors who had died were still fighting, refusing to stop until their bodies and spirits were completely destroyed.
What shocked him the most were several commander comrades he knew who resolutely became Xing Tian Warriors during the battle, fought for less than a month, and ended up becoming soldiers under his command.
They died in battle, but they were still fighting after death.
The Sea of Blood Battle lasted for nine months, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and finally defeating the evil organization 'Eye of the Sea of Blood'.
Zhou Shaoyang returned to Silver City with Xing Tian Warriors who had either lost an arm, a leg, an eye, or an ear.
A month later, the Xing Tian Warriors he controlled all died because they had consumed too much Xing Tian blood in the battle.
Half a month later, he applied to become a Xing Tian Warrior.
He will always remember their answer when he crazy madly found those commander comrades and asked them why.
This era is very difficult, and countless people are silently dedicating their young lives behind the scenes to protect this peace, and their idea is very simple: their best comrades have already sacrificed themselves, and now countless others are sacrificing their lives to fight.
So if they dedicate and sacrifice themselves first, perhaps they can reduce the sacrifice of one or two others.
And now, it was his turn.
He hoped that somewhere, some child, would not have to sacrifice, would not have to fight, because of his sacrifice.
...
...
Time returns to the present, and the battle below is still ongoing.
The Xing Tian Zombie King forced Yu Lie back with an axe, and in the next moment, punched the Director Hua of the Drug Research Department, Cheng Caitian, flying.
Boom!
Cheng Caitian crashed to the ground, and a large pit instantly appeared on the ground.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly slapped the ground with his right hand, his body tumbling in the air. The Xing Tian Zombie King's axe fell precariously close, splitting the entire large pit in two.
The Xing Tian Zombie King missed its strike, and because Cheng Caitian rolled to its right side, it immediately flexibly kicked with the momentum, instantly kicking Cheng Caitian, who had not yet landed, flying.
"Heavenly Guanghan Bow, one arrow weighs nine heavens!"
Hua Qiang stood in the distance at this moment, and in an instant, shot out streaks of cold light.
The Xing Tian Zombie King, who originally wanted to pursue Cheng Caitian, immediately dodged quickly. Dense arrows fell to the ground, turning the ground into a glacier in the blink of an eye.
"I will embrace the moon in the sky, and bend it into a bow!"
Hua Qiang drew the long bow into the shape of a full moon, and then shot another arrow.
But this time, the Xing Tian Zombie King had already noticed Hua Qiang. It immediately split the arrow with an axe, bursting out in terrifying white flames, and in a few steps, it was as if it teleported in front of Hua Qiang, striking down at Hua Qiang with a powerful blow like splitting Mount Hua.
Suddenly, a golden light shot towards the Xing Tian Zombie King, attempting to relieve the siege.
But the Xing Tian Zombie King seemed to have anticipated it. It flexibly rotated its body, moving from the front to behind Hua Qiang, its axe momentum undiminished.
Not good!
Yu Lie didn't expect the Xing Tian Zombie King to have been guarding against his Heavenly Eye all along.
At this moment, Yu Xian above suddenly opened his eyes, saw this scene, and roared: "Zhou Shaoyang, code 7623, attention!"
In fact, the speed of sound could not catch up with the speed of the Xing Tian Zombie King, but fortunately, Hua Qiang's ear contained Yu Xian's bubble, and the sound passed through the bubble, reaching the Xing Tian Zombie King's ear.
Boom!
The axe was only one centimeter away from Hua Qiang's head, but the air current cut Hua Qiang's scalp, and blood flowed from the top of his head.
The Xing Tian Zombie King's eyeballs trembled madly, and its body also trembled from resistance, but no matter how hard it tried, its body could not move.
Then its body moved independently of the Zombie's will, slowly raising its head and chest, standing upright.
This is not a spell, but an unchangeable iron belief, never giving up on obeying commands, fighting for the country and the people.
Zhou Shaoyang, code 7623, attention!
