Chapter 220: Azure End Light

~14 min read 2,778 words

The three major societies were not like this at the beginning.

The Security Society was the first society. In the early days, it was a resistance organization composed of a group of veterans from the Third World War who formed the skeleton, and then the flesh and blood were composed of all the hot-blooded men who had courage, could hold guns, and dared to fight.

This was truly in line with the wishes of the people in the early and middle stages of the biochemical beast frenzy, sacrificing countless times, and being united.

But because of the ravages of the biochemical beasts, this organization, which mixed government and civilian personnel, was destroyed several times. Its elites and backbones mostly died in battle. The braver they were, the heavier the casualties. The more selfless and dedicated they were, the more they thought about sacrifice.

As the biochemical beast frenzy slowly eased, forcing humanity to this central area of the Eurasian-African continent, it did not continue to kill them all.

Under such circumstances, the predecessor of the Security Society transformed rapidly, organized the current Security Society, and then step by step internal political struggle, from public to private, completely became the current appearance.

Although the Researcher Society was slightly later than the Security Society, its predecessor was actually similar. It was an organization composed of scientists from various countries before the war, a group of people who studied the biochemical beast frenzy and the origin of biochemical beasts. But with the stabilization of the environment and internal overthrow, it eventually became such a hanging appearance.

By comparison, the Mercenary Society was actually the cleanest of the three societies, but it also walked on the road of internal warlordization and centralization. In less than ten years, it was almost the same as the other two societies.

Li Xianchun and Wu Pifu sat in a tavern.

This was a street in Tiaohai City, very close to the closed Red Leaf Tavern. Since Wu Pifu knew that the Red Leaf Tavern had closed down, he came to this city and stayed in a tavern or cafe nearby for three consecutive days.

He had a hunch that he could get the follow-up to the 'Azure End Light' task here.

Speaking of which, since the last Dream World, his sixth sense and martial arts intuition had become more and more obvious and strong. Many times, he just had a thought in his heart, and soon he could vaguely feel good or bad fortune.

For example, this time hunting the leaders and Elders of the Mercenary Society and the Researcher Society, he followed his intuition completely, and as a result, he easily found their hidden hiding places, almost nowhere to hide.

Regarding this aspect, Wu Pifu also had some insights.

Unity of knowledge and action.

Every time he made a decision that followed his own heart and did not wrong his own heart, and executed this decision into action, he felt his spirit was clear and unblemished. Every time he did so, he felt his spirit was purified and cleaned once, making his martial arts intuition more and more obvious and strong.

The first time he felt this situation was when he beat the Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Ji to death under huge pressure.

At that time, he had no way to retreat, and it was just when Yamadai and Xu Shilan both died in battle, and he was facing the Song Emperor Zhao Ji whom he despised, which was also the source of the little mute's greatest tragedy. At that time, he was truly united in knowledge and action, beating Zhao Ji to death on the spot, and even facing the wild boar giant monster, not taking half a step back even if he died.

Thinking carefully, the origin of his martial arts intuition was at that point in time.

Since then, whether he was hunting the Jin people in the Song Dynasty, killing Zhao Huan, exterminating the Cynics, or going to the Demon Castle, for the sake of Jiu Jiu, he bravely entered the Demon Castle, killed the area bosses in the Demon Castle one after another, and broke into the Demon Castle graveyard area to challenge the bones of the Peacock King's descendants, or the last Dream World, even if it was just for the short-lived tacit understanding and friendship between martial artists, he fought to the last moment...

Walking all the way, he had a clear conscience, unity of knowledge and action, honest to himself, honest to martial arts, honest to friends...

"The way of utmost sincerity can be known in advance... It really doesn't deceive me."

Wu Pifu silently reached out his hand, looked at his palm, and clenched it into a fist, several times in a row, before he let go with satisfaction.

This series of actions made Li Xianchun puzzled, but she had asked Wu Pifu the purpose of coming here several times in these three days, but Wu Pifu didn't say anything. Naturally, she didn't ask at this time, just drank a drink leisurely and read a novel.

Wu Pifu didn't care about her, just silently feeling his martial arts.

This kind of utmost sincerity is the most mysterious, almost without any trace of active action, but this kind of utmost sincerity has a great influence on martial arts, especially after entering 'Dan Jin', this kind of utmost sincerity can even be compared with physical cultivation.

In the last Dream World, top martial artists like Zhou Qingqing who reached 'Dan Jin' almost all lived in seclusion away from the world. One of the main reasons was that they didn't want the secular world to affect their temperament. Modern society had too many constraints on them, and they couldn't always act according to their nature, but being unable to act according to their nature would wrong their own hearts, so it was better to be out of sight and out of mind.

But in this way, their martial arts spirit almost made no progress. In the last Dream World, there were many 'Dan Jin' martial artists, and two 'Gang Jin' martial artists, but none of them reached the martial arts realm of 'the cicada knows before the autumn wind moves', and even didn't have the spiritual realm that Wu Pifu currently had.

Wu Pifu now had many feelings. He didn't deliberately do anything, just followed his heart, but he didn't let the wild thoughts in his heart run wild. For example, when he was splashed with filth earlier, and those ordinary people insulted and attacked him, he actually had anger in his heart, but he restrained his impulse to draw his sword, which instead did not weaken his martial arts spirit.

So this kind of utmost sincerity really has a mysterious feeling in it.

Thinking of this, Wu Pifu turned to Jiu Jiu and said: "Jiu Jiu, if you continue to stimulate the Monster Race bloodline in your body, can you really succeed in transformation? Completely become a human? The kind without time limit?"

Jiu Jiu was also on the table, jumping around playing. Hearing this, she chirped at Wu Pifu happily twice.

Wu Pifu nodded, and then said seriously: "Good, when you transform, I will sleep with you and turn you into my woman."

"Slap!"

"Pfft!"

Jiu Jiu hit Wu Pifu's forehead directly, and Li Xianchun sprayed a mouthful of drink all over Wu Pifu's face and table.

Jiu Jiu was still flying up and hitting Wu Pifu, while pecking his face and ears with her beak. Li Xianchun said with a weird face: "Although I personally feel that sexual preference is a personal hobby, but people can't... at least shouldn't..."

Wu Pifu was too lazy to care about this person and bird. He just silently sensed the martial arts intuition. After sensing for a long time, he didn't find any increase or decrease, which made him even more puzzled about how this thing changed.

After all, he really regarded Jiu Jiu as his woman in his heart, even if it was just a monster, it didn't matter. Of course, it must be a human, must be transformed into a human form. After all, he really didn't have any special hobbies.

(I have a hunch that if I can continue to make this martial arts intuition stronger, it will become a skill that can be displayed on the data panel, and it will open the content of the soul item in the basic attributes, and I estimate that several sub-items in the inspiration item can also be opened, which is very important...)

Just as Wu Pifu was thinking carefully, he suddenly felt a move in his heart, and he saw a down-and-out middle-aged man enter from the front door of the tavern. He tapped on the table and said: "Go." Li Xianchun was stunned for a moment, stood up and said: "Leaving now? Didn't you sit until night yesterday?"

Wu Pifu shook his head and said: "No, not leaving, but going to the private room. The person I am waiting for has arrived."

Li Xianchun immediately turned her head to look around, looked for a long time before looking at the down-and-out middle-aged man who was walking slowly. She frowned silently.

Wu Pifu walked to the middle-aged man and said: "This place is not suitable for conversation, let's go to the private room."

The down-and-out middle-aged man was about to speak, but Wu Pifu spoke first. He was a bit stunned, but having dared to come over this time, and being able to come over, he had actually prepared all the psychological preparations, so he nodded and agreed naturally at this time.

The three people, one bird, and one dog moved to the private room. The man looked at Jiu Jiu and Daphne all the way, and after confirming again and again that these were real animals, the shocked expression on his face couldn't be stopped. Several times he wanted to speak but stopped, but eventually didn't speak.

Wu Pifu sat down with the middle-aged man, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Azure?"

The middle-aged man's body shook, and then he showed an expression of crying and laughing. He lowered his head and said: "It's been a long, long time since I heard these two words... Yes, I am one of the members of Azure... a former member."

Wu Pifu looked at the drink sent by the maid, and didn't speak anymore, just nodded to the middle-aged man, and drank a sip of the drink first. The middle-aged man also picked up the drink and drank a sip. His fear and excitement slowly dissipated.

Both were silent for dozens of seconds. The middle-aged man spoke first: "Azure is not a big small organization, established about fifteen years ago. And from the time I joined this organization, even until now, I still believe that this organization carries some kind of destiny!"

Wu Pifu and Li Xianchun didn't speak, just sat silently. The middle-aged man didn't care either. He paused and said: "Mr. Wu, actually, since you defeated the Security Society, I have been paying attention to you. But the counterattack of the Mercenary Society and the Researcher Society came, and I thought at the time that you would likely be defeated, just like the past of the Azure organization. But who knew you won."

!

"As the second true Super Soldier, you perhaps have just inherited a new destiny."

Wu Pifu and Li Xianchun looked at each other, and they both thought carefully about the few words the middle-aged man said.

The second true Super Soldier...

Then who was the first?

"That was fifteen years ago..."

A group of young people met unexpectedly in a battle.

That was at the end of the last biochemical beast frenzy.

Since the biochemical beast doomsday eased, a biochemical beast frenzy would occur about every twenty years on average, and a large number of biochemical beasts would invade human territory from all directions. Although it would not destroy everything like the biochemical beast frenzy at the beginning, this was still a huge catastrophe, which was also the reason why the human population could never accumulate.

The last biochemical beast frenzy was fifteen years ago, and the establishment of Azure was also at that time.

"... We were just some down-and-out war novices. For example, I was a communicator and also in charge of logistics. I had no combat power and insufficient ability, but I just happened to join this organization."

"But the others were all children of destiny... For example, Aobin and Wang Yu, whom you liberated, they were such children of destiny."

Wu Pifu asked in confusion: "Who?"

"Original pilots of Overlord-class Super Machines."

The middle-aged man said sadly: "One was captured by the Researcher Society, and one was captured by the Security Society. They were both subjected to brain-plug surgery, so it's normal that you don't know their names. I estimate that they don't even remember their own names."

"At the beginning of the establishment of the Azure organization, none of us knew how much achievement we would have in the future, but we all had a cavity of hot blood. We were disappointed with the three major societies, and wanted to change this world, to save everyone, at least to make everyone's life better. A group of war orphans, a group of young people who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, just gathered together with this cavity of hot blood..."

Wu Pifu suddenly interrupted the middle-aged man's voice and asked: "Why was it named Azure?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and with trembling hands, he took out a photo from his arms. It was a semi-synthetic photo taken from outer space of the earth. A blue planet like a gem hung in the darkness of the universe.

"... With the arrival of the biochemical beast doomsday, the rain in the world stopped, the earth withered, and the plants in the wild almost all withered. It is said that the color on the sea surface is also turning from blue to rust red. Some Azure team members said that if you look at the earth from outer space at this time, it must be a very ugly rust red mixed with earthy yellow..."

The middle-aged man took back the photo. He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "We want to save everything, change everything. We want to let the earth return to that azure color. This is our great wish, so we named this organization Azure."

Wu Pifu nodded slightly, and Li Xianchun couldn't help but say: "This ideal is good, but it is impossible to do it. And you said Super Soldier earlier, right? The first Super Soldier was a person in your organization?"

The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, but nodded and said: "Yes, the first true Super Soldier was a person in our team. He had strength equivalent to a Super Machine, and at the same time, he could restore biochemical beasts to ordinary life. This is a miraculous power that reversed the root of the biochemical beast disaster. And it is precisely because of this ability of his that everyone who joined Azure believed that we really had the possibility of saving this world. As long as we find the key to reversing the biochemical beasts and turn all biochemical beasts back into ordinary life, then humanity will inevitably be saved!"

"In this process, we seemed to be helped by heaven, finding Super Machines one after another, and also finding two Overlord-class Super Machines. At that time, all of us believed that we would definitely succeed. As long as we continue to develop, we will definitely be able to replace the three major societies and definitely be able to completely save humanity. But at this time... we were betrayed."

Wu Pifu's face was angry, while Li Xianchun was full of regret.

The middle-aged man still lowered his head. He hesitated for a long, long time before saying: "Eventually, Azure completely collapsed and split. The Overlord-class Super Machines and original pilots were snatched and transformed. Almost all other personnel were wiped out. Only logistics personnel and intelligence personnel like me who were lurking very deep survived. Then we were very unwilling, followed the true Super Soldier to investigate who betrayed us, and then... we eventually got a very incredible, difficult-to-understand answer that I still can't believe even now."

The middle-aged man looked up at Wu Pifu and Li Xianchun and said: "The person who betrayed us..."

"Was ourselves."
