Chapter 61: My Own Tomb

The Yanzhou Martyrs Cemetery is mainly buried with the martyrs of the Qi'an War Zone during the extinction period, and later after the establishment of the new century, a group of people were moved from other parts of Yanzhou. According to official data, there are tens of millions www.biquge.info of people buried here, most of the bones have been incinerated and compressed, occupying only a small amount of space, and some people have not left bones at all, only some items from the time of death, or only a written record of his name.

People in the new century have a habit of going to the martyrs' cemetery to pay respects before and after the annual anniversary, and some people feel that after the worship, the martyrs will probably bless them with their wishes, while some people just come to visit according to the custom.

As the taxi driver said, because the anniversary is approaching, there are indeed more people in the martyrs' cemetery, and when Fang Zhao was on the road, he took the number from the Internet and queued up under the prompting of the driver.

The martyrs' cemetery has a special place for worship, but the place is limited, and it will be full on these days of the annual anniversary, so it has to be numbered.

There were too many people worshipping, and the number Fang Zhao got was still relatively backward, and it would probably take two or three hours before it was his turn. However, before that, Fang Zhao planned to go to other places in the martyr's cemetery when the time came.

When approaching the cemetery, from a distance, Fang Zhao saw the huge tombstone more than 500 meters high. This is the landmark of this area.

The taxi driver only summoned Fang to the place near the cemetery, and did not approach the inside, because there were too many people, the parking lot was full, and there were some vehicles queuing up on the road. Occasionally, armed police patrols can be seen, and at this time of year, a large number of police officers are brought in to maintain law and order.

Seeing this, Fang Zhao got out of the car decisively, and he could get in as quickly as he walked.

There is no charge to enter the park, you only need to check your identity, and if there is no problem with your identity and the number of people in the park is also limited, you can go straight in.

The road outside the park is crowded, but once you enter the park, it feels much more spacious. This cemetery is very large and is divided into several areas: the core area of the cemetery, the memorial hall of the destruction of the world, the square, the scattered cemetery area, the public worship area and so on.

The huge tombstone belongs to the core area of the cemetery and cannot be passed at will. Generally, people who come here go to the public worship area to worship, and then go to the tea hall and restaurant on the edge of the square to drink tea and chat for a while. The descendants of the martyrs will go to the scattered cemetery or the core area of the cemetery to pay respects.

Walking along the spacious avenue, there are sidewalks on both sides of the avenue, and the trees on both sides are shady, and the variety of trees is the dragon elephant Tianluo, which is evergreen in all seasons, even if Qi'an City has reached the cold winter, it still maintains the green full of vitality.

In front of the avenue, there is the square of the cemetery, you can see a lot of people with families walking there, and the shops on the edge of the square, customers come and go, very lively.

In addition to being solemn at the moment of worship, at other times, whether it is walking and running in the square or resting in the tea hall on the side, the people who come are mostly smiling.

This is not a disrespect for the martyrs, at the beginning of the new century, there was also a requirement that the cemetery must be solemn, but later changed. A general who was born in the period of annihilation said on his deathbed that when he asked his children and grandchildren to worship him, he smiled more, and the new century that he and his comrades-in-arms had finally exchanged for was not to see them crying and mourning.

So gradually, people no longer deliberately worship with a serious face.

The anniversary is a festive day, even if you come here to worship, it is also with a festive meaning, thanking the heroes and martyrs of the annihilation period for bringing them a peaceful new century.

After the end times, the people of the new century will believe in the people lying under this land, and these are their saviors.

The elders will pray for the blessings of the juniors during the worship ceremony, and the juniors hope that their careful wishes can be fulfilled, praying for peace, marriage, fortune, and so on.

It was still early to line up in the public worship area, and Fang Zhao didn't go there, but walked through the square and walked towards the core area where the tall tombstone was located.

"Is it a descendant of a martyr? Please show proof of this. The receptionist in the core area asked Fang Zhao.

"It's not."

"I'm sorry, sir, you are not a descendant of the martyrs buried in the park, if you want to enter the core area, you need to verify your identity information and pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan. Do I need to enter? The man at the help desk asked.

This deposit will not be returned, and this one also blocks most people. The core area of the cemetery is more important and not suitable for everyone to enter, so listing this kind of regulation is also a decision made by the park after careful consideration, and the money paid by the descendants of the martyrs in the park will be used for the maintenance of the park and will not be included in private pockets.

"Yes."

Fang Zhao submitted his identity information, and after passing the review, he paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and the person at the service desk put a blue bracelet on Fang Zhao to locate Fang Zhao's real-time location and make sure that he would not run to a place where he should not go.

Most of the people who enter the core area of the cemetery will be put on bracelets, different colors have different meanings, blue represents ordinary worshippers, red represents the descendants of martyrs in the park, white represents public servants, and black represents people with special status.

Although there was an additional fee, after Fang summoned in, he found that there were still many people wearing blue bracelets walking around like him, but there were monitors and police officers watching, and those people had to think about what they wanted to do.

The most obvious thing in the core area is the tall tombstone, next to which people look extremely small. The huge gray tombstone is like a pillar of support on this land, standing there silently but firmly, five hundred years of wind and rain, tragic and proud.

Fang Zhao stood in front of the tombstone and looked up for a long time before retracting his gaze, bypassing the tombstone and walking behind it.

Behind this huge tombstone, there are small tombstones lined up, with the large tombstone as the apex, arranged in a fan-shaped pattern, extending backwards.

Each of these small tombstones represents a deceased person.

The first row, and the one closest to the big tombstones, has ten tombstones, which are larger than the ones in the back. The higher the front, the larger the tombstone, because the larger the tombstone, the more words are engraved on it, and the status is heavier.

From the left, the first tombstone is the well-known Genesis general Wuyan, from whose name the word "Yan" is taken.

The eleven generals of Genesis, in addition to the Imperial Continent where the headquarters of the Alliance is located, the other eleven continents are named after their surnames or names, for example, Lei Zhou is named after the "Reina" of the Genesis General Harvin Rainer. And since then, the alliance no longer has the rank of "general".

"Wuyan: (17th year of the destruction of the world - 56th year of the new century), the general of the Genesis, the second commander of the Fifth Army, recovered the ...... of Yanzhou"

Uyan's tombstone briefly describes his life deeds, fully embodying the majesty and domineering of a general who ended the disaster and opened a new century.

Fang Zhao looked at those official words and showed a faint smile.

Probably no one knows that this kid Wuyan is actually afraid of dogs, but he hides it well on weekdays.

Continuing to walk forward, the smile on Fang Zhao's face disappeared.

The second tombstone reads: "Fang Zhao (?) - 99 years after the destruction of the world), the first commander of the Fifth Army Corps......"

The Fifth Army Corps is the predecessor of the Yanzhou Military Region, the Fifth Army Corps established in the late annihilation period, and after the creation of the century, it became the Yanzhou Military Region in the new century.

In the new century, a new chronology was used, and the period of destruction lasted 102 years, beginning with the year of the catastrophe and ending in the year of Genesis.

99 years after the end of the world......

It is recorded in the history books of the new century that after the most difficult 99 years of destruction, the threat has been almost cleared by the 100th year of the extinction, and the next two years are spent cleaning up the remnants and rebuilding the homeland.

It's just one step away.

Fang Zhao's gaze moved down from the tombstone.

So it seems that he is buried under this tombstone?

Fang Zhao's mood was very complicated, and he didn't know what BGM to ring in his head.
