Chapter 1658: Chapter 878: Injection of the Drug, He Jinqiu’s Mutation!

The father glared angrily: "What nonsense is this? There are no cowards who fear death in the He family."

As he spoke, the father took a rolling pin from the kitchen, claiming he would break He Jinqiu’s legs.

His mind whirled, and He Jinqiu seemed to return to the flood defense embankment, carrying sandbags behind Zheng Yuandong.

He Jinqiu felt like crying a little. He softly ventured, "Squad leader?"

Zheng Yuandong didn’t even turn his head as he carried sandbags, "What? Don’t complain about being tired. My second squad has no deserters; stick it out. If you die, die in the floodwaters."

He Jinqiu paused for a moment: "Squad leader, do you regret joining the army?"

Zheng Yuandong replied with a teasing scold, "Regret? Regret to death. If I’d known I’d be a squad leader for a bunch of useless kids like you, I’d never have gotten on that military vehicle!"

He Jinqiu laughed, following Zheng Yuandong into the stormy night, where all comrades jumped into the rushing torrent, wearing red vests, their skin peeled from sunburn layers.

In the floodwaters, someone shouted from afar, "Second squad, where’s the second squad! The embankment’s breached over here, hurry over!"

Zheng Yuandong shouted, "Those not afraid of death in the second squad, follow me!"

"Squad leader, there are no more sandbags. They’re blocking elsewhere!" He Jinqiu screamed.

"Can’t you block it with your damn body?" Zheng Yuandong cursed.

He Jinqiu suddenly realized that the old squad leader actually had quite a temper and often swore.

In the future, the old squad leader wasn’t like this. He wore a suit every day, looking very dignified...

They blocked the floodwaters for an entire day, from morning until night.

Until a new unit arrived to relieve them.

All the exhausted soldiers of the second squad walked back, civilians voluntarily came to greet them along the road, stuffing hot eggs into their cold, soggy, dirty hands, and the village elder continuously praised their hard work.

He Jinqiu tried to return the eggs: "Sir, we have discipline."

Zheng Yuandong stopped him: "Never mind, take them and eat."

Now thinking back, the old squad leader was more adaptable than him.

He Jinqiu ached throughout his body, his consciousness like a clear-minded observer in that era, yet experiencing everything firsthand.

Back in the dark green tent, they lay on the camp beds without even taking off their shoes.

Soon, the sound of snoring around them was deafening, yet He Jinqiu couldn’t sleep.

He suddenly asked, "Squad leader, do you regret coming here?"

Zheng Yuandong thought for a moment and said, "You fool, you’re still not tired enough to think about all this nonsense. If you’re idle, go run a ten-kilometer armed cross-country and then ask me."

He Jinqiu: "?"

He laughed heartily, realizing that the pain experienced had turned into the most cherished memories.

The scenes began to shatter, leaving only the soil of the West Continent before his eyes.

At this moment, He Jinqiu’s entire body turned gray, two small fangs grew at the position of his canines, and his nails extended by two centimeters, presenting a fearsome appearance.

Exhausted.

So exhausted.

Unprecedented exhaustion.

He lay on the ground, looking at the sky, where an airship floated overhead, emblazoned with the black knight troop’s emblem.

Soon, someone descended swiftly along a rope, binding He Jinqiu’s wrists with a strange vine rope.

In an instant, He Jinqiu felt drained of all strength.

This vine rope came from the Taboo Forest; even the Duke of Storm City was once bound and left at others’ mercy.

Of course, the Duke of Storm City didn’t fight to the death, so whether this thing works against a demigod is uncertain.

A safety rope was fastened to He Jinqiu’s waist, quickly pulling him into the airship’s interior. Lao Wu of the black knight troop sneered and looked down at him lying on the floor: "Where do you think you can run?"

He Jinqiu ignored him and drifted into sleep.

Everything could wait until he woke up.
