Chapter 793 – Returning to Shangjing
”Before Commander Zuo left, he had already left an order to send him back to his original squad station for a thick burial and posthumously award him a personal ‘Star’ medal, and his family will also receive a large pension …… “Fang Zuo looked down at the corpse lying on the stretcher and smiled bitterly,
”This is good, among these first batch of our brothers who voluntarily transferred to station at the War Pass, he is the most honorable ……”
After gazing at the corpse for a long time, Lin Qiye spoke hoarsely, “Does he …… still have any last wishes?”
Fang Zuo froze: “The last wish is there …… but just hope that I can help him take care of his son, after all, I have a very good personal relationship with him, and his son also called me Uncle Fang when he was a child, but recently in the rebellious period, he was a little uneasy.”
”His son?” Cao Yuan asked, “What’s the name?”
”Lu Baoyu.”
Lin Qiye nodded and secretly memorized the name.
After a few people left carrying the stretcher, Lin Qiye sat back down on the city wall and looked at the distant sea horizon in a daze.
”What are you thinking about?” Cao Yuan asked suspiciously.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, the sunset and the sea in his field of vision had disappeared, and in its place, it was pitch black.
He stretched out his hand towards the sky, as if he wanted to hold something.
”I was thinking …… maybe one day, I will make this night, cover the entire Daxia.”
Somewhere in Daxia.
In the empty abandoned warehouse, a figure cloaked in a gray cloak and wearing a swirling mask opened the heavy door and stepped in, his footsteps echoing lowly between the dimly lit warehouse.
He walked to the center of the warehouse and stopped in his tracks.
”Captain, news has come from Commander Left’s side, the crisis is lifted and there is no need to travel through time again.” Whirlpool spoke softly.
In the open space in front of him, a figure was sitting quietly on his knees, a long sword crossed in front of him, and the low-slung “King” mask was slowly raised, revealing a pair of calm and tired eyes.
”No need?” Wang Mask spoke with some surprise, “Didn’t you say that it’s too late?”
”Lin Qiye and the others came back and defended the Sinking Dragon Pass.” Spinning Eddy couldn’t help but lament, “It’s really the waves of the Yangtze River that push forward the waves of the future ah …… The speed of progress of these juniors is too terrifying, and I heard that they’re going to return to Shangjing soon to officially register their information, and there’s also a ceremony for the awarding of the two ‘Star Ocean’ medals. ”
”Lin Qiye?”
Wang Mian muttered this name, the figure of the teenager with gold-stained eyes that year within the training camp came to mind, and the corners of his mouth under the mask hooked up into a smile.
”Have they finally returned?……”
Wang Mian slowly stood up from the ground, took back the [Eagle Duck] to his waist, slightly lowered his head, took off the mask of the word “king”, and walked towards the bright sunshine outside the warehouse.
The breeze was like an invisible hand, brushing up a strand of silver-white hair on the king’s face, and he raised his face, which had already developed some wrinkles, and through the gaps in his fingertips, he squinted and looked at the sun that was hanging high above the clear sky.
”Our pressure, we can finally relieve some of it ……”
Shangjing City.
Squad 006’s residence.
Shao Pingge hung up the phone, took a long breath, leaned back on the recliner behind the desk, and yawned lazily.
”Why are you going to sleep again?” Yuan Gang stood in front of his desk, frowning, asking somewhat urgently, “What’s the situation like, why don’t you say it? Has the beast tide been stopped?”
”Don’t worry, the crisis is lifted.” Shao Pingge spoke unhurriedly, “The fifth special squad returned and guarded the Sinking Dragon Pass, now they are already on a plane back to Shangjing, they are expected to arrive in the afternoon.”
Yuan Gang froze, “Lin Qiye and the others have returned?”
At this moment, Yuan Gang’s mind once again recalled that rainy day, standing outside the courtyard with black umbrellas, driving away in the clouds with the seven figures.
”Has it been two years already?……” Shao Pingge lay there, looking up at the empty ceiling, and spoke slowly, “They came back, but it’s really time.”
”Yes, they should also come to get back what belongs to them.”
”By the way, they will arrive in Shangjing in the afternoon, will you go and pick them up?”
When Yuan Gang heard this, bitterness surfaced on his face, “Me? How would I have time to pick up the airplane right now? This year’s training camp is about to start, the list of trainees hasn’t been filed yet, and the matter of the instructors hasn’t been settled yet, I haven’t slept for a few days, it’s not like you don’t know ……”
”That’s also true, you do have a busy schedule.” Shao Pingge nodded, “But I still have a meeting at headquarters this afternoon, and I can’t go …… Why don’t you let Xiao Zhang pick it up?”
”That’s the only way.”
Yuan Gang turned around and was about to leave the office when, as if he thought of something, he turned back and asked once again, “By the way, are you sure you want to put Zhen Zhen into this session of the intensive training camp? She’s still too young.”
Shao Pingge paused for a moment and gave a hmmm.
”Put it in, right now the Night’s Watch is exactly the time when they are short of people, her ability is very special, use it well, maybe it can come in handy in the future……. What’s more, after a while, we’ll be leaving, and she won’t be able to grow up under the shelter of our squad forever.
Zhen Zhen is naughty but smart, she can take care of herself.”
Yuan Gang nodded after a moment of silence.
”I know.”
Shangjing City.
An airplane slowly landed from the azure sky and stopped on a military tarmac in Shangjing City.
The airplane’s hatch opened, and Baili Chubby took the lead and walked out, he relaxed his muscles and sighed, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been on an airplane……. It’s still Daxia that’s good.”
The rest of the [Night Shade] squad walked out of the airplane one after another, Cao Yuan looked around and asked suspiciously, “Didn’t we say that someone from the Shangjing side would come to meet us? Where is the person?”
”Is it Instructor Yuan Gang?” Baili Chubby asked.
”No, Instructor Yuan already called, he’s been busy with this session of the training camp lately and doesn’t have time to receive us, the one who came is a newcomer from the Shangjing City squad.” Lin Qiye explained as he swept through the neighborhood with his spiritual power.
”Found it, a big jeep with a military license plate on it is waiting for the traffic light across the road.”
”Is it because we arrived early?”
”No, it’s him who’s late.”
An Qingyu looked at the time and replied.
The seven people left the military apron and walked straight to the road, and it was only then that the military jeep pulled into the intersection in a dusty manner.
The driver’s door opened, and a tall and thin man walked down somewhat embarrassed, speaking with an apologetic face:
”I’m really sorry, there was an accident in the team just now, so I’ve kept you all waiting.” He walked to the side of the road and shook hands with Lin Qiye’s few people in turn.
”My name is Zhang Zhengting, a member of Team 006 stationed in Shangjing City, on that rainy day two years ago, we crossed paths across the gate of the courtyard.”
