"Ling Hai...... Liu Song passed away, did you know? Jian Hao's voice came from the phone.

"Hmm." Ling Hai replied calmly.

Jian Hao didn't know that Ling Hai and Liu Song had met on the same front line, and he didn't know that Liu Song died in front of Ling Hai's eyes, and he only learned the news from Ban Qun and the news.

Jian Hao asked, "Have you read the news in the class group?" ”

Ling Hai replied calmly: "Not yet, I just turned on the phone." ”

"That's the case, the class organizes a memorial service for Liu Song, and tomorrow there will be classmates going to the martyrs' cemetery to remember Liu Song, do you want to go? The meeting time is 3 p.m. on the 2nd, and the location is in the group. ”

Ling Hai was silent for a while and said, "I'll go." ”

"I thought you had just come back from training camp and might not know the news, so I called you." Jian Hao continued to say softly: "I know that you have a very good relationship with Liu Song, and everyone is very sad when something like this happens, so I can only say that I am sad." If there's anything I can do to help, just ask. ”

Ling Hai didn't talk to Jian Hao about how sad he was, but changed the topic and said, "Jian Hao, I have something to ask you." ”

"You say."

"During this training, my body has some abnormalities, can you make an appointment with Professor Li to check it on me? I'm available on the 6th and 7th. ”

"Okay, I'll ask Professor Li to wait for you at the headquarters on the 6th." Jian Hao didn't ask what was wrong with Ling Hai's body, but directly agreed.

"Then we'll see you tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Hai began to read the news in the class group.

Among the thousands of unread messages, at first there was a classmate who happened to see Liu Song's news in the news, and then posted it to the group, which aroused everyone's emotions. That's why this memorial service was organized.

Everyone in the group is saying that they are sad and sorry for Liu Song's death, but only 17 people will actually attend the memorial service tomorrow, excluding Ling Hai. That is, there are 45 classmates who cannot attend the memorial service.

Most of these 45 classmates were not familiar with Liu Song, and the relationship was not in place, so they did not speak out to participate. Others regretted that they had made an appointment with their classmates to travel before the holiday, so they couldn't participate.

Ling Hai looked at the list and found that Meng Jie was also among the participants. Ling Hai hadn't seen Meng Jie's recent situation for more than two months, and he gently clicked on Meng Jie's avatar to check the circle of friends.

Meng Jie's circle of friends has not updated many recent situations, only a photo was updated a week ago. The photo shows a group photo of Meng Jie, who is still very beautiful, and a group of college students of the same age having a dinner. Among them, there was a sunny and handsome boy who was close to Meng Jie, and the two seemed to be very close. And Meng Jie's accompanying text is: Thank you for meeting the loveliest, the learning department will always be a family.

Is this what college life is all about?

Ling Customs took the phone and lay flat on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Time passed, and it was late at night in a blink of an eye, but Ling Hai still maintained his previous movements. I don't want to read, I don't want to sleep, my head is empty. For the first time in his life, Ling Hai wasted time with nothing to do.

After opening his eyes until five o'clock in the morning, Ling Hai washed his cheeks with cold water, then changed into a set of ordinary clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

Sitting on the plane from Jingcheng to Guangzhou, early in the morning, at more than nine o'clock, Linghai was the first to arrive at the martyr's cemetery.

The martyr's cemetery was built on a low hill, and Ling Hai followed the steps, looking for Liu Song's tombstone.

Walking through the rows of stele forests, Ling Hai found Liu Song's name. Around Liu Song's tombstone, the earth and cement are still damp, apparently newly built.

There was silence all around, and Ling Hai gently placed a handful of chrysanthemums in his hand in front of Liu Song's tombstone.

Looking at the photo of Liu Song on the tombstone, Ling Hai began to recall the bits and pieces of getting along with Liu Song.

Reminiscing, reminiscing. A question suddenly popped up in Ling Hai's heart.

Is it worth it?

The martyrs in the garden were all sacrificed in the struggle against alien creatures, and many of them were young men in their 20s, who had not enjoyed their lives much and dedicated their lives to the Alliance.

Was their sacrifice worth it?

Alien creatures need people to fight, but why is the person who sacrifices Liu Song? If Liu Song had not gone to the front line, Liu Song would not have died......

Ling Hai's confusion about the future and the doubts of the moment were mixed together, his heart was full of regret and sadness, and tears slipped down involuntarily.

A gust of wind suddenly blew across the hill, and the branches and leaves of the trees beside the tombstone rattled, as if they were scrambling to answer Ling Hai's question.

At this time, the words of the instructor in the Kaifeng camp suddenly appeared in Ling Hai's mind.

"When you face the alien beasts, you must not be the slightest timid, at least not to show it. When you don't receive the order to retreat, you can't take a step back, even if you know you're going to die. When I received the order to attack, even if I knew that I was going to die, you had to rush to me. ”

"Go to the front, you have only one identity, and that is the defender! You will have a responsibility to defend the lives and property of the hundreds of millions of people behind you......"

"If everyone wants to be a coward, who will protect this prosperous world......"

……

The instructor's solemn voice echoed in his ears, and Ling Hai gradually calmed down.

Oh, yes!

If everyone wants to be a coward, who will guard this prosperous world......

Ling Hai knew the situation at the front. In order to maintain the Tyre Shield, the army must regularly clear the Furcs near the Shield. Not to mention how much manpower humanity would need to invest in regaining lost territory. Therefore, sacrifice is inevitable.

The instructor is right, if everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, the Tyre defensive shield will definitely not last long, and without the defensive shield, this prosperous era will also disappear.

Therefore, Liu Song's sacrifice is worthwhile. Without the sacrifice of people like Liu Song, there would be no future for mankind. Ling Hai should be proud of Liu Song's sacrifice, instead of questioning why it was Liu Song who died.

Martyrs are the backbone of humanity! There should be no questioning. Ling Hai was ashamed of his previous thoughts.

Ling Hai thought again, if fewer and fewer people were willing to go to the front line, causing the defensive shield to be breached, what would his family and friends go through?

Trampled? Crushed? Eaten?

Ling Hai couldn't imagine it anymore.

He suddenly raised his hands, watched his fists clench gradually, felt the strength surging in his body, and then exhaled a breath of turbidity.

On the tombstone, Liu Song looked at Ling Hai with a smile.

If I can defend the Tyre shield, if I can dedicate my strength to humanity's cause of expelling alien creatures, will it be considered revenge for you...... Ling Hai said in his heart.

If I can withstand the onslaught of orcs on the front lines, my friends and relatives will never be harmed......

The previous confusion disappeared, and looking at Liu Song's tombstone, Ling Hai made a decision. He will continue to be a mercenary until he pays off the money, and then join the army like Liu Song and dedicate his strength.

More than 200% of the fit talent, far beyond the reshaping and strengthening of ordinary people, and the ability to command beast soldiers for unknown reasons......

If he had so much ability, he chose to inject dissociation reagents for his personal safety and go back to be an ordinary person, Ling Hai felt that he would have trouble sleeping for the rest of his life.

The sacrifice of all the ancestors hopes to make the descendants more progressive, this is the meaning of sacrifice, and Ling Hai finally understood this at this moment.

After that, Ling Hai sat quietly in front of the tombstone and waited until the students of Class 304 arrived at the martyr's cemetery en masse.

When the classmates arrived, Ling Hai got up and saw Yu Zheng and Jian Hao first, while Meng Jie and the other remaining 15 classmates followed behind one after another.

"Here we are." Ling Hai said hello.

Yu Zheng: "Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you arrived a long time in advance?" ”

"It wasn't long before I came." Ling Hai didn't say anything about his coming over hours in advance, some feelings, some things didn't have to tell everyone.

Afterwards, the rest of the people greeted Ling Hai one by one.

When Jian Hao walked in front of Ling Hai, he gently patted Ling Hai's shoulder with his hand and did not speak. And Meng Jie seemed to be still angry with Ling Hai, her eyes skimmed over Ling Hai, and she didn't have any communication with Ling Hai.

Because of the memorial service in the martyrs' cemetery, Liu Song's memorial service ceremony was carried out very simply, everyone laid flowers one by one, and then stood in front of the tombstone.

Yu Zheng, the former squad leader, read the eulogy last night in a solemn voice, recalling Liu Song's life. After reading the eulogy, everyone observed three minutes of silence, and the entire memorial service was over.

After the end, eighteen people said their final "goodbyes" to Liu Song one by one, and then began to leave the cemetery. The whole process did not last more than an hour, but everyone understood that the memorial service was about the heart, not the length of time spent in the cemetery.

Death is experienced by everyone, and people cannot be immersed in remembrance for the rest of their lives, and those who are alive must continue to live.
