Chapter 150: The Cemetery
Ren Mingxiao gently touched him with her elbow and said softly, "This guy doesn't look like a joke!" ”
"That's natural, I guess he was scolded by Yan Shenshi last time!" Chen Xunyi responded, he looked at Gao Xiang with a grin, and walked slowly towards the car, "I won't joke with my life!" ”
"I believe in you!" Gao Xiang glared at him and put the pistol away.
Chen Xunyi opened the car door and let Ren Mingxiao enter the back seat, "Gao Xiang!" May I ask a question? ”
"What?"
"When did you come to guard the troops?"
"Go..." Gao Xiang's brows suddenly furrowed, "What do you want to inquire?" ”
"I just think, you look quite young, why are you here? Is it also a prisoner with a sentence? ”
"What are you kidding?" Gao Xiang's face was unhappy, he pointed to his chest and shouted, "I came to guard the troops through the conscription office, and I am definitely not a criminal!" ”
He snorted softly and prepared to enter the cab, "The previous job was much easier than here!" ”
Chen Xunyi sat in, "Then what did you do before?" Why come to guard the troops? ”
"Why are you so clear? Check your account? This is my private matter! You don't have the right to know. Gao Xiang twisted the key, and a calm and powerful roar sounded, and the whole car began to shake.
Chen Xunyi leaned on the seat and glanced at Ren Mingxiao, the car had already begun to turn around and drive towards the dirty road ahead.
"Can you go to Commercial Avenue first? I want to take something and fix it! ”
"Yes!"
Along the way, the whole car fell silent, and no one spoke, only the sound of the engine and tires rubbing against the ground.
The Soldiers' Cemetery of the Guard Department is located at the foot of the mountains to the west of the Extinct City, and there is a winding and rugged road leading to the cemetery at the west gate of the Extinct City, and the road is lined with dense bamboo forests.
After parking the car in front of the cemetery, Chen Xunyi and Ren Mingxiao walked to the cemetery first, and Gao Xiang wanted to park the car in a fixed position.
An old man dressed in a black robe with white hair, standing at the gate of the cemetery with a tall figure, saw the two of them, walked up, the old man was expressionless, showing quite solemnity, stretched out his hand and pointed upward, "They are already on the upper floor!" ”
The Soldier Cemetery is a resting place established by the soldiers who died against mutated creatures since the establishment of the Guard Army, the cemetery is set up on the side of the mountain, constantly built upward, like steps, there are tens of thousands of cemeteries on each floor, and the detailed information of the dead soldiers will be engraved on the tombstones!
As they walked up the steps, the bottom several floors of the cemetery were already occupied.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and where the Extinct City was, sunlight poured through the gaps in the clouds to the city.
When he stepped on the floor where the guards were located, Chen Xunyi felt that the scene was silent in grief, and under the influence of this atmosphere, the sadness gradually infected him, making him feel a sense of awe.
Ren Mingxiao wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers.
The guards stood in front of an artificial wall with their backs to the mountain, densely carved with names.
An old man with a thick notebook stuck to his side and the same dress stood in front of the wall, his head bowed and his hands clasped together as if he were praying.
After a while, he raised his head and looked straight ahead with his piercing eyes, and despite his age, his tall body still made people feel that he was still in good spirits.
"Buried here are the soldiers of the Guard, who gave their lives to contribute to the future of humanity, and today, they are buried here, continuing to watch over the future of humanity with their heroic souls."
The ceremony was very simple and simple, and after the old man finished his speech, the ashes of the soldiers were put into the cemetery.
As the burial progressed, the crying became louder and louder, resounding throughout the cemetery.
Chen Xunyi kept pinching his forehead with his hand, even if he had a lot of words in his heart, he could only say it in his heart at this time, and his eyes looked around under the palm of his hand.
A boy with a sniper rifle stood not far ahead, and from his shaky back, it could be seen that the boy was crying.
That gun, Chen Xunyi saw a deep scratch on the gun, and knew that the gun must have been Xiong Houzhao's, he was the child Xiong Houzhao said.
Chen Xunyi put his hands in his pockets and walked forward, he wanted to say hello to the boy, but at the moment when he stretched out his hand, a strong hand grabbed his wrist.
Ahab shook his head beside him and pulled him aside, "Don't disturb the boy, leave him alone and quiet." ”
"Didn't Xiong Houzhao's father come?" Chen Xunyi looked around.
"You don't know that Dead Bear and his dad have been in contact for a long time,"
"In that case, the kid?"
Ahab shrugged, "I don't think his father would have accepted this child!" ”
"Then this child can only stay in the orphanage?"
"I'm afraid so!"
Chen Xunyi's gaze glanced back at the child, "Xiong Houzhao entrusted me before, let me hand over his child to his father, I think I should try!" ”
"Then you're going to go to the Hunters first."
Chen Xunyi looked at Ahab, "You don't know? ”
"Dead Bear, he didn't tell me about his father! However, the Hunter Organizations are usually in Extinct City, so I believe it will be easy to find. ”
"Then after you find it, inform me, I want to go over together, after all, Xiong Houzhao entrusted this child to me before he died!"
"Hmm!"
"How long is it going to end?" Chen Xunyi asked, "Yan... Captain! Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of pushing and shoving on the steps.
Is there still someone babbling in this kind of place? His gaze looked down the steps.
"I said it! I'm just here to see where my son is buried! An old man with a face as black as a rock, a resolute expression, and a translucent gaze in his eyes, walked over despite the dissuasion of others.
"This is the cemetery of the soldiers of the Guards, only their families...
"My son is a soldier of the guard!" The old man turned his head and glared at the dissuasive staff.
"But your name isn't registered here!"
"No?" The old man tilted his head, "This guy really broke me in two?" He still ignored it, and shouted loudly towards the cemetery, "Xiong Houzhao! Where is Xiong Houzhao buried? ”
This... This old man is Xiong Houzhao's father? Chen Xunyi thought to himself, very good, then it will save trouble, you don't have to look for it yourself.
