In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 126: Commander

What is Aunt Dragonfly doing here?

Shouldn't we take the initiative to avoid suspicion at this time?

When Wang Jixuan heard Mudan's report, he signaled Mudan to take the initiative to meet them with the stealth device and asked Aunt Dragonfly to wait for a moment.

The commander-in-chief's life extension project is only halfway through, so we cannot give up halfway.

Prolonging Fu Jian's life is actually not easy for Taoist Wang today.

Generally speaking, to extend the life of mortals, one only needs to expend magic power to "cleanse their essence and marrow" for them, which will allow the mortals to strengthen their bodies and bones, prolong their lives, and living to be a hundred years old is not a problem. Moreover, cultivators in the Concentration Realm and Return to Truth Realm can do this. The level of cultivation only determines the speed of cleansing the essence and marrow.

But the situation of Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian was completely different.

Fu Jian's body has almost completely disappeared, leaving only his brain and very few organs. His brain is covered with two layers of high-tech films that simulate the biological environment of the human body. There are no acupuncture points, meridians, or even muscles in his body.

The brain has shown signs of limbic atrophy.

Wang Jixuan didn't dare to mess with Fu Jian's brain. He just used his own magic power to transform into the gentlest breath to help Fu Jian alleviate the aging of his brain.

The only thing that can be truly manipulated is the soul level.

"Prolonging the lifespan of the backbone of the human camp is not the same as manipulating other people's souls at will."

Taoist Wang muttered to himself, pinched his fingers, put his sword finger against Fu Jian's head.

Soon, Wang Jixuan frowned tightly and subconsciously took two steps back.

"What's wrong?" Fu Jian asked.

"Uncle Hei, there is a strong evil spirit near your soul."

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Wang Jixuan's forehead:

"I was almost hurt by this evil spirit just now."

"Evil spirit?" Fu Jian was a little puzzled.

"This is hard to explain. It can be seen as that after killing someone, the soul will be entangled with the resentment of the victim. Generally speaking, this evil spirit will gradually affect the soul of the killer. For example, the killer will have nightmares and his spirit will gradually weaken... If there is too much evil spirit, it is easy to go crazy."

Wang Jixuan frowned and said:

"Has the Commander-in-Chief killed many people?"

Fu Jian closed his eyes and replied calmly: "Yes, there are several million."

"No wonder they call you the Devil Commander-in-Chief."

Wang Jixuan shook his head, took out more than ten talismans and stuck them on himself, then walked back again.

"Try to relax. I need to check the state of your soul first, and then try to help you prolong your life."

"Just do your best. Do you need me to fall asleep myself?"

"if convenient."

Fu Jian nodded and exhaled lightly. The machine began to hum slightly and the red light in its mechanical eyes became very dim.

The commander-in-chief fell asleep, truly asleep, without any defense.

Wang Jixuan activated two soul-calming talismans, cast a spell for his own soul, and then pointed a finger at Fu Jian's forehead.

'Who is this person whose life I want to extend? Why is he so evil?'

"Excuse me, I must confirm whether you are a murderer or not."

A leaf of flying flowers enters the dream;
I have glimpsed your floating life for half of your life.

……

[25 BC of the Fortress Era]

Even in the urban jungle constructed of reinforced concrete, there are some quiet corners, such as the community’s fitness corner.

The six-year-old child was still thinking about whether going from kindergarten to primary school meant moving to a bigger kindergarten to continue playing, and was wondering how he could trick his mother into giving him her cell phone to play with at night.

The small Fu Jian was working hard on the fitness plate, as if he was driving a medieval pirate ship.

"Fu Jian!"

Named 'Heizi', Fu Jian only had a vague outline of a boy of the same age. When he was dragged by his parents, he turned his head and shouted:

"Let's go to Happy Valley this weekend!"

"I have soccer class tomorrow! You go by yourself!"

These images are blurry, shaking, and turning because they are too old and only fragments remain after being worn away by time.

The scene changed, and Fu Jian lowered his head to eat his meal while his parents were chatting worriedly beside him.

"Honey, the news says that the battle line is basically stable now, and the alien invaders have been blocked on the coastline!"

"It's just to encourage people. The situation is very bad. The Internet says that Donghai City has fallen and the strongest defense line has been breached by the blade beasts."

"Hubby... I'm so scared. I'm worried that my son will..."

"Don't cry. Why are you crying? We will leave in a few days. We will pick up our parents and head west. The plateau is said to be easier to defend than to attack. They are also building the last line of defense there... Honey, the children are watching over you."

"Be good, Xiaojian, everything is fine."

The scene turned and showed a corridor of an old residential building.

Fu Jian's grandfather and father were arguing constantly. His father was pulling the suitcase out, but the old man was holding on tightly.

"What are you doing! Let me go! I won't leave! Take Xiao Jian away with you!"

"Dad! The Blade Beast is coming soon!"

"If they come, just fight them! I'm going to go to the police station to get a gun and fight them!"

"If those guns were useful, would we humans have been beaten like this? Didn't you watch the video online? They are terrifying. Ordinary rifles can't hurt them. Heavy machine guns are barely enough! The front line has almost used up all the heavy firepower in stock!"

"Then I can't be a deserter! If you want to leave, go by yourself! I'm sixty-five! I've lived enough!"

"dad!"

"Get lost! Give these to my grandson! Also, take this money. I took it out during the social panic. I don't know if it will be useful to me in the future. I bought a house full of grain, oil and salt. Don't worry about me. Let's go! Let's go!"

The picture fades and switches again.

Inside the off-road vehicle filled with daily necessities.

Fu Jian asked in a low voice: "Dad, isn't Grandpa going with us?"

The middle-aged man who was driving said "hmm" with red eyes, then raised his hand to wipe his eyes, turned his head and smiled at Fu Jian who was squeezed together with pots and pans in the back seat, without saying much.

The off-road vehicle was soon stuck on the highway and traveled less than 100 kilometers in 30 hours.

The first relatively clear image appeared in Fu Jian’s memory.

It was the fourth day after they left the city. They passed by a small town. It was sunny and windy.

Not far from the highway, in the fields dotted with fruit and vegetable greenhouses beside the small town, the ground suddenly arched upwards!
A giant 'earthworm' rushed out of the ground and rushed upwards for dozens of meters. Its huge body smashed several greenhouses!
Inside the SUV, the father was swearing, the mother was shouting in panic, and Fu Jian was staring blankly.

Densely packed basic blade beasts poured out from the big hole, like a 'black fountain' gushing out of the ground, each one was so terrifying.

A group of blade beasts rushed towards the small town, and another group of blade beasts rushed towards the highway.

Fu Jian's father swerved the steering wheel, and the modified off-road vehicle rushed through the emergency lane, crashed through the highway guardrail, and rushed into the field.

Screams, cries for help, shouts.

Fu Jian stretched his body as far as he could and looked towards the highway. What he saw was a chaotic convoy of cars, humans who hurriedly got out of their cars and fled in that direction, 'Blade Beast Rollers' that rolled over at high speed and crushed human bodies, and basic blade beasts that opened their knife limbs and quickly harvested human lives.

"husband!"

Fu Jian turned around suddenly and saw a tall ridge of field in front of him. The off-road vehicle crashed directly into it.

The screen turns black.

Several clips flashed by, and six-year-old Fu Jian was carried out of an off-road vehicle by a team of soldiers, held in the soldiers' arms, and rushed towards a helicopter not far away.

That year, he lost his parents and family.

...

[12 BC of the Fortress Era]

Training camp on the edge of the plateau.

Fu Jian's memory became gradually clearer, but it was filled with relatively monotonous training content, including physical training, shooting training, long weapon combat training, blade beast weakness course explanation, and so on.

Fu Jian is constantly learning and doesn't have many important memories.

The only color clip is one of the most profound images in Fu Jian's memory.

A female soldier broke into his heart after he lost to her in a simulated shooting competition.

The memory scene has some more pink tones. Fu Jian took great pains to be assigned to a company and a battlefield with the female soldier. The two of them patrolled in the mountains with tactical backpacks. Finally, they waited for a rare vacation and tasted the forbidden fruit of love in a small tent.

"Fu Jian..."

She called tenderly in her confusion and passion.

This heroic and somewhat charming face suddenly turned pale and had empty eyes a few days later.

Half of the female soldier's body was lying on a stretcher, and blood was still dripping from her waist, which had been cut by a sharp knife.

Fu Jian knelt beside the stretcher, holding his lover's hand tightly. Tears kept trying to flow out, but were constantly blocked back. Without saying a word, he poured the small amount of fuel that was allocated on her and lit it with a lighter.

"I love you," he said in a choked voice, "for the next life too."

...

[8 BC of the Fortress Era]

The half-human mecha plan was formally proposed.

"Those who want to participate in the transformation plan, please step out!"

Swish, swish, all 56 remaining members of the company stepped forward at the same time.

"The transformation plan will kill people! The current survival rate is only 20%! Your spine will be replaced with a mechanical one! Even if you survive the transformation operation, you will most likely become a high-level paraplegic! If you don't want to die, take two steps back!"

No one moved.

The company commander curled his lips, jumped down from the wooden stake in front of him, stood in front of Fu Jian, and saluted the empty wooden stake!

"Our Qiongshan Special Operations Group Army's Fourth Regiment, First Battalion, Sixth Company! All of you have volunteered to participate in the transformation plan!"

Fu Jian took a deep breath and repeated the shout with the other fifty-five brothers.

However, after the shouting, these figures gradually dimmed and were swallowed by the darkness at the edge of memory. Only four people were left, walking forward together for a while.

Transformation, trial installation of robotic arms, installation of the first generation of destructive cannons, battlefield testing, joining the battle, death charge.

Fu Jian's teammates kept falling down, and new teammates kept arriving.

Huge and terrifying general-level blade beasts began to appear in his memory, as did groups of blade beasts that rushed over like a tsunami, and a rain of artillery shells that almost covered the sky.

The human battle lines were constantly being torn apart by the Saber Beasts;
Humanity has never stopped resisting;

Fu Jian was constantly on the operating table, sometimes receiving treatment for serious injuries, and sometimes having body parts removed.

As his face gradually changed from that of a young man, his eyes remained extremely firm from beginning to end.

All he has now is this determination.

...

[Year 1 of the Fortress Era]

From Fu Jian's perspective, this was a somewhat dark meeting room and he was sitting in the corner.

The stereo projection, whose technology was not yet fully mature, played the "Fortress Declaration" read by the secretary of the Human War Zone Joint Ruling Representative Conference. A dozen old generals in military uniforms from different war zones kept smoking and whispering about something.

In fact, most of their words are pessimistic.

Because they know the current situation of human resources, and they also know how terrifying the blade beast tribe is.

"The Twelve Pillars, ah, the twelve most powerful King-level Blade Beasts. We are only fighting against five of them now, and the five continents have been completely lost."

"Don't be too pessimistic. According to the latest satellite data analysis, the activity of the central blade beast group has dropped significantly in the past three years. They seem to be hibernating. Now only the blade beast groups led by the five pillars on the periphery are active."

"Institute Thirteen has offered a price, requiring us to recognize the results of their biochemical experiments and requiring our military to actively cooperate with them. This is simply ridiculous. Humans have to rely on their monsters for protection? The only things that can protect humans are the shells and laser cannons produced by humans themselves!"

"Their experiment successfully utilized the crystal core of the blade beast. This is not a bad approach. We may have to learn from the civilization of the blade beast. Isn't the fortress the product of imitating their nests?"

"Okay, today's meeting is to discuss the allocation of resources for the first batch of 392 fortresses."

"Although we have verified the feasibility of the fortress ecosystem, fortresses and surface cities will still coexist for a relatively long time. We cannot pour all our resources into fortresses at once. We have to wait until the number of fortresses worldwide exceeds 1,500 before we can fully transition to the fortress era."

"The blade beasts won't wait for us, so we have to turn faster."

"Alas, I am now doubting whether there is any fucking justice. Isn't it said that justice will prevail? Then what about justice for us humans? Where is it?"

Fu Jian stood up and saluted: "Marshal! We are the justice of mankind!"

A dozen elderly people laughed immediately.

"Who is this guy? Haha! He's quite arrogant!"

"Fu Jian, one of the three pilots of our latest terrifying mecha project, has killed 26 general-level blade beasts."

"Hero! Very good! Let us be justice to mankind!"

"Let's continue the meeting. Giving out chicken blood won't save human civilization."

Fu Jian sat down upright, and the first generation combat girl beside him gave him a thumbs up.

...

【Fortress Era Year 3】

In the life-and-death defense battle of Fortress No. 5 in the forward zone of D24 comprehensive war zone, the first generation of terrifying mecha was put into use.

With the help of Fu Jian’s memory, Wang Jixuan was shocked when he saw the first generation of terrifying mecha for the first time.

This was also the first time that Fu Jian saw the full appearance of this humanoid mecha outside the experimental base.

It is 116 meters tall and looks like a 'skinny giant' from a distance.

Because the war requirements were too urgent, some of its painting had not been completed, and at this moment some of the original luster of the alloy could still be seen. In order to provide sufficient power, five modular small nuclear reactors were distributed on its chest, shoulders, and outer thighs, and various weapon systems were equipped on it.

Fu Jian, who had completed 80% of his body transformation, put on a thick load-bearing suit, entered from the back of the terrifying mecha, was wrapped by an airbag, and sent to the cockpit.

Cold electronic synthesized sounds continued to sound.

The mechanical spine acts as a bridge, connecting Fu Jian and the terrifying armor control system.

The sensors extended automatically and covered every part of Fu Jian's body.

Three hundred and sixty subsystems of the terrifying mecha were activated at the same time, and the driver began to bear extremely high loads.

Scaffolding removal;
Fu Jian groaned, and the terrifying mecha kept leaning forward like a slowly falling giant. Veins popped out on his forehead, and his body was forced forward. He forced himself to kneel on one knee with a low growl, and then slowly stood up.

He held his hands flat, kept steady, and took two steps forward.

There was a roar from the earth, and the concrete ground kept crumbling.

Fu Jianping raised his hands and slowly put them together. The mecha synchronized and he punched hard.

Synchronization coordination rate is 95%!

Fu Jian took a deep breath and said, "Report to the command center, our troops are ready to attack!"

An old, hoarse, almost insane voice screamed in the headphones:
"Target, King-level Blade Beast! Number TT230! Fu Jian! I'll give you all the firepower support! Go and help me win this battle! Tear that giant bug into pieces! Damn it! The fortress is about to be breached!"

"Yes!"

The terrifying mecha activated a strong magnetic field ring, the weight of its body faded, and it began to run towards the mountains ahead.

It was the first battle, but also the major one.

The terrifying mecha entered the battlefield an hour later.

The blade beasts rushed towards it like a tsunami, and a giant siege hammer-type king-level blade beast that was 150 meters tall was roaring at the terrifying mecha.

Countless drone swarms surrounded the terrifying mecha, and each drone was a flying cannonball, constantly launching attacks forward.

The bombers roaring through the sky dropped all kinds of heavy bombs;

The group of 'Special Pterosaurs' that spread their wings were attacked by a large number of fighter planes, and both sides almost launched a suicidal charge;
None of these attacks could threaten the king-level blade beast with an extremely thick shell!

The ground ahead continued to collapse, and the blade beasts were destroying the underground structure.

Fu Jian controlled the terrifying mecha and began to jump forward. The "skinny" mecha began to burst out with powerful speed. Beams of light lit up behind it, and strong magnetic halos appeared on the mecha's limbs.

The terrifying mecha seemed to fly up and knocked away several general-level blade beasts.

The king-level blade beast released an electromagnetic pulse to clear the area, and a thick shielding layer appeared all over the body of the terrifying mecha, and the uniquely designed electronic components inside were not affected by any interference.

This is the first time a human has rushed in front of a king-level blade beast!
For the first time, humans swung their iron fists and chiseled open the facial exoskeleton of the king-level blade beast!

This was also the first time that humans opened the mouthparts of a king-level blade beast, inserted the giant destructive cannon transformed from a mecha arm into it, and fired fiercely!
boom!
The king-level head was blown to pieces, and the terrifying mecha stood proudly on its corpse, staring ahead, and pounced on the general-level blade beasts that began to flee.

A local counterattack on the human front begins;
The era of heroes has arrived!
……

【Fortress Era Year 27】

"Commander! The final list of pilots for the second generation of terrifying mechas has been finalized. Please take a look!"

The gray-haired Fu Jian smiled and said, "Well, I hope they can shoulder this responsibility. I can hardly fight anymore."

"Everyone follows your example and trains hard. The indicators of some half-human machines are already very good."

"Now the main blade beast groups of the Twelve Pillars have entered an inactive period, and our pressure has been reduced a lot."

"Commander, should we moderately expand the fortress? The current population growth has been restricted by the number of fortresses."

"We don't need to worry about what happens in other places. We should prepare more vacant fortresses in D5 as backup. It is enough to reach saturation of industrial population. Current research shows that if the number of humans in an area exceeds a certain value, it will attract attacks from king-level blade beasts. Before there is a significant breakthrough in military technology, we can only maintain the current regional population density."

"Yes, Commander! You should take some rest. You have been too tired recently."

"My body is already overwhelmed. It has been through too many injuries and repairs, and my telomeres are almost worn out. I really need to train a successor. What I am most worried about now is the Psychic City. The Thirteenth Institute has essentially lost control, and a group of extremely powerful psychics have appeared. Psychics have certainly helped humans stabilize the front line over the past decade, but they are also demanding more and more resources. In particular, they use ordinary humans as experimental materials, which is not a good sign."

Fu Jian said calmly.

"Get ready early."

...

【Fortress Era Year 32】

Rebellion in the Psychic City.

The main governors and commanders of the major war zones were detained during a meeting in the Psionic City. The Six Elders of the Psionic City demanded that the major war zones of humanity declare their allegiance to the Psionic City.

Fu Jian sat alone in front of the narrow projection screen in silence for three hours, and then just gave a bitter smile.

"A group of garbage."

"If he doesn't die this time, I'll have to reform him 98%. I finally trained two good young people, but they compromised."

He stood up and walked to the transport plane's cockpit. Through the porthole, he could see large transport planes speeding in the sky, and flames of continuous explosions could be seen outside.

The fleet advanced without regard for casualties.

Half-human mechas and fully armored troops launch a surprise attack on the central city of the Psychic City!

Fu Jian covered his aching heart, took a deep breath, put on the blade suit, and led dozens of half-human mechas to jump down!

……

Wang Jixuan frowned as he watched the fierce battle in the Psychic City, feeling confused.

The battle was fierce. Fu Jian chose to kill indiscriminately. Any psychic, armed forces of the Psionic City, or civilians who tried to attack them who stood in their way would be destroyed directly.

Several half-human mechas rushed forward carrying thermonuclear bombs, determined to die together. They activated the bombs to the final step, and they only needed to press a button to flatten the Psychic City.

The six elders were frightened.

But their fear made Fu Jian's steps forward more determined.

But just based on these killings...

How could such a strong evil spirit be formed?

"What else does the commander-in-chief remember that I have not seen?"

Wang Jixuan looked around and suddenly discovered a series of dark and extremely heavy scenes, which often took place in the command room.

"Commander, the blade beasts have driven about 150,000 people to the front to block our firepower attack..."

"Indiscriminate attack. Are you deaf? Follow the order."

"Yes!"

"Commander, all four positions near Fort 22 have been breached! There is no time to evacuate the people inside the fort!"

"Abandon them, shrink the front, and make all-out efforts to prepare for a counterattack."

"Commander! The blade beasts didn't attack directly, but surrounded Fort 43. They released poison gas in one area after another, experimenting on how to kill humans faster... They didn't destroy the structure of the fort! The blade beasts are looking for a way to break through our fort faster!"

"Use new bunker-buster bombs, loaded with nuclear warheads, to attack indiscriminately and destroy the main structures of the fortress."

"Commander! Brothers, we can still charge! We can take back the fortress! Destroy the upper city structure! The more than 300,000 people below will suffocate to death!"

"Excuting an order."

"commander!"

The young guard Dongfang Zhenghong raised his rifle, tears in his eyes and trembling breath: "I will go too, let's try again! Please! They are not dead yet!"

Fu Jian snatched the rifle, disassembled it into parts, and slapped Dongfang Zhenghong away.

"Three months of confinement."

"Yes!"

A lot of evil spirits...are caused by this...

Wang Jixuan remained silent.

Behind this somewhat dark memory, he saw a small house. That was Fu Jian’s mental defense, the strongest place in his heart.

Wang Jixuan took just one look and immediately retreated, starting to prepare the soul-solidifying secret method he could use at the moment, which had the best effect and the fewest side effects.

Behind the heart defense is a photo wall with colorful photos hanging on it, and the people in the photos are all smiling.

Fu Jian's soul often sits in front of the wall of photos, with countless ghosts of the dead behind him and a blue ocean under his feet. He keeps muttering to himself at these photos.

"Do we humans still have a future?"

……

【Fortress Era Year 84】

"Commander, strange events have occurred recently in Fortress No. 76 in the Zhonggu Basin. A psychic who does not belong to the Psychic House has appeared. His name seems to be Mu Liang. It is suspected that he has awakened naturally."

"Oh? Natural awakening, hasn't this been proven to be impossible? Let's pay attention to it first."

Fu Jian clicked his tongue:
"While the main groups of blade beasts are sleeping, we must kill more marginal groups of blade beasts."
