Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 131: Falling like a demon because of selfish desires, rising like a god for the greater good.
Humans are a race full of contradictions.

When there are no external enemies around, they can stop at nothing to pursue their own interests, wage war for power and wealth, and kill each other for their own selfish gain.

It can be said that every page of history books is stained with countless lives lost.

However, when a real crisis strikes, this race can unleash an astonishing cohesion to build a Great Wall of flesh and blood.

The Great Xia Dynasty is exactly like that today.

The disaster in Qingshan County vividly demonstrated the most dazzling light of humanity; the soldiers of Tian Shu Bureau, knowing they were no match for the enemy, still built the last line of defense with their own lives until the very end.

They exemplified the meaning of "never retreating" with their lives.

This almost instinctive spirit of sacrifice is the most dazzling light of humanity.

Perhaps darkness has never been far away. Even now, with the revival of spiritual energy, there is still much darkness among humanity that is unimaginable to ordinary people. But just as the brightest star in the night sky often appears in the darkest night, the brilliance of humanity is always most dazzling in the darkest moments.

The group heading to Qingshan County this time includes not only third- or even fourth-tier ability users such as Gu Che, Lu Jing, and Lin Ruoxi, but also support from the Yunshan City Tian Shu Bureau, as well as reinforcements from surrounding cities.

Countless soldiers, fully equipped and ready to go, embarked on their journey to Qingshan County without hesitation.

They knew they would win the war, and they also understood that some of them, and even some of their comrades, would die as a result.

But no one was afraid.

In the not-so-distant past, their ancestors, unable to foresee the future of the Great Xia Dynasty, were willing to sacrifice their lives to uphold their will and save the world from collapse! Now, in a war they know they will surely win, how could they possibly be afraid?

The will of their ancestors shines upon them, and they are fearless!

Even the various forces within the Great Xia Dynasty are the same in this respect.

In peacetime, as long as it does not affect the Great Xia, they can appropriately seek some benefits for their families and friends, because this position is not the result of his efforts alone; however, in the face of such major issues, all wills must be unified, and the Great Xia is above all else.

"Attention, all hands! Move out!"

In the morning light, the airflow from the helicopter rotor brushed against everyone's faces; the young soldiers did their final check of their equipment and smiled at each other.

This is humanity: capable of falling into the abyss of selfish desires like a demon, and also of rising above the mundane like a god for the sake of righteousness.

At the crossroads called the future, they once again chose the most difficult yet glorious path: to protect life with their own and to dispel darkness with light, just as they had done in every previous crisis of survival.

The directors of the Tian Shu Bureaus in various cities watched their departing figures with a slightly dazed look in their eyes, as if their figures had merged with the figures of their predecessors that they imagined in their minds.

Were they feeling the same way back then?
It's a pity that they were abandoned by this era, neither obtaining the treasures of the heavens nor awakening any special abilities; otherwise, they might have been part of the group heading to Qingshan County.

"This era belongs to them."

A slight smile appeared on their lips; each generation should be better than the last.

At this time, reinforcements from the Yunshan City Tian Shu Bureau had arrived in Qingshan County and were fighting against the mutated creatures in the county.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Zhang Mo's sidearm spat fire, and three bursts pierced the eye socket of a mutated lynx; blood splattered on his tactical mask, but he didn't have time to wipe it off. He pulled out his dagger and plunged it into the throat of a mutated wolfhound that pounced from the side.

"Click——"

The blade was stuck in the cervical vertebrae, and the mutated wolfhound's dying struggle almost knocked him over.

Zhang Mo pressed his knee against the mutated beast's chest, held down its rotting fur with his left hand, and twisted the knife hard with his right! Amidst the sound of bones shattering, foul-smelling black blood sprayed all over him.

"boom!"

Not far away, a shell blasted the spider-like mutant in the ruins of the shop into pieces, and the shockwave blew off Zhang Mo's helmet, revealing his blood-stained young face.

"Three o'clock!"

The voice of my teammates came from the headset.

Zhang Mo rolled away to avoid the flying concrete chunks and looked up to see a mutated pangolin, almost the size of a car, crashing into the building's exterior wall. Its scales were covered with bullets, like it was covered in metal thorns.

"Hold"

He tossed aside his empty pistol and pulled two grenades from his waist. The pangolin spotted him.

Those amber vertical pupils locked onto Zhang Mo, and the thick tail swept away a lamppost, sending steel bars and concrete flying like toys. Zhang Mo retreated rapidly in the rain of steel bars and concrete, while simultaneously using his teeth to bite open the safety pin of a grenade.

"Come on, you beast!"

As the mutated pangolin charged at high speed, Zhang Mo slid under its belly and slipped a smoking grenade into the gaps in its scales.

"boom!"

The blast wave threw him several meters away. Through the ringing in his ears, he saw the mutated pangolin writhing in agony, large chunks of flesh covered in scales flying everywhere; but soon, the creature staggered to its feet again.

"It's not over yet."

Zhang Mo spat out the sand in his mouth and took out two more grenades; this time he directly tore open his combat uniform, revealing a whole row of grenades tied around his waist.

"Let me make this clear first, I'm not the Jade-Faced Grenade King."

"Secondly, give me a few more!"

He charged toward the mutated pangolin, leaping up just before they collided; the mutated pangolin instinctively raised its head and opened its mouth, and Zhang Mo took the opportunity to grab four or five grenades and throw them all into that gaping maw.

"Rumble--"

Amidst a series of explosions, the mutated pangolin's body burst open like a watermelon, and as foul-smelling blood rained down, Zhang Mo took a deep breath, picked up the assault rifle on the ground, and turned to look for his next target.

Zhou Lie leaned against the broken support pillar, his chest heaving violently. The alloy longsword in his hand was chipped and covered in sticky blood.

There was a deep claw mark on his left arm, exposing the bone, and blood dripped down his arm, pooling into a dark red puddle on the ground.

Five mutated wolves surrounded him, their eerie green eyes gleaming in the dimly lit mall. They were twice the size of ordinary wolves, with exposed fangs, drool dripping from their mouths, and their pupils filled with lust.

"Did you think you had me figured out?"

Zhou Lie smiled, his laughter growing louder and louder, revealing his bloodstained teeth.

"Ouch!"

The mutated wolf on the far left was the first to pounce!
Instead of retreating, Zhou Lie advanced, slashing horizontally with his long sword in his right hand, the blade cutting a bloody gash in the wolf's belly; but another mutated wolf had already taken the opportunity to bite his calf!
"Go away!"

He pressed down hard with his left palm, and a burst of blazing flames erupted from his palm. The flames swept across like an angry dragon, instantly charring the wolf's head.

The stench of burning filled the air, but the remaining three wolves were enraged and pounced at the same time!

Zhou Lie spun around and swung his sword, the blade wreathed in flames as he slashed at the wolf that pounced first. The moment the blade pierced the wolf's neck, the intense heat charred the wound, and the wolf's head flew off!
But the claws of the other two wolves had already torn open his back!

"what!!!"

The intense pain made Zhou Lie's vision go black. He bit his tongue to force himself to wake up; he planted his long sword in the ground with his right hand to steady himself, and swung his left hand back sharply!
"boom!"

The bursting flames erupted in a fan shape, engulfing the two mutated wolves behind them. They howled and rolled on the ground, the crackling sound of their burning fur sending chills down the spine.

The last mutated wolf seized the opportunity and pounced on his throat!
Zhou Lie saw it, but it was too late for him to draw his sword.

"Pfft!"

He raised his left arm and shoved it into the wolf's mouth; the sharp fangs pierced through his muscles instantly. Pain shot through him, and he picked up the knife with his right hand, his ferocious face contorted with rage.

"Die!"

The long knife pierced straight into the mutated wolf's brain through its eye socket. The wolf's body convulsed violently a few times before finally collapsing.

Zhou Lie, panting heavily, pushed away the wolf corpse. His left arm was a bloody mess. He staggered to his feet and used his long sword to support himself.

Is it over?

He wiped the blood off his face, his vision blurring, but the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

A colossal creature slowly emerged from the shadows ahead.
