In the wilderness beyond Barrier 3, the finishing touches continued, with every inch of land being turned up and thoroughly cleaned up using the Elemental Domain.

Order has been restored in District 53, students have resumed classes, factories have resumed work, and everything is business as usual.

Except for the gloom on people's faces.

It was raining lightly on this day, and it was a day to mourn the dead and award medals. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered under the black walls of the third barrier, and there was no end in sight.

Han Qingfeng stood on the makeshift platform under the city wall, his voice was not loud, and Huo Ning beside him transmitted his speech to the ears of everyone present.

"Thank you to the soldiers who fought so hard to defend their homeland."

"Thank you to the workers who worked through the night to prepare war materials."

……

"Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the fight against the insect tide."

Han Qingfeng bowed deeply, and in an affectionate tone, it seemed that he was reciting a poem.

"I often think,

Those warriors who could not return in bloody battles,

It's not buried in solidified soil,

Instead, they turned into snow-white cranes......"

The vast majority of the fighters who died in the insect tide were unable to recover their bodies, and for their families, it was obviously an unacceptable thing for their loved ones to be devoured by disgusting bugs.

Han Qingfeng recited a poem in the old era to mourn the sacrificed soldiers, hoping to use the beautiful image of snow-white cranes to express a beautiful sustenance.

At the top of the barrier, a statue slowly rose, it was a cultivator of the Mental Power Domain, who used his ability to hold up the fifty-meter-tall statue.

Everyone was attracted by the movement at the top of the city wall, and without making a sound, they quietly watched the statue rise.

The first to show was a young face, followed by a body, dressed in the Guard's trench coat and carrying a steel gun in one hand.

The long hem and legs of the trench coat turned into white cranes flying high, and each white crane gradually changed from solid to hollow, revealing the gray sky behind it. Flocks of agile cranes are stacked on top of each other, their wings connected to each other, outlining the shape of a warrior's long garment.

From a distance, it looks like a young warrior, starting with his feet and gradually turning into a flock of white cranes, spreading his wings and flying high......

This is a statue of iron and poetry at the same time.

Some people began to sob, they had lost their loved ones in the war against the insect tide, but at the sight of this statue, their broken hearts were comforted, and the lost relatives did not pass away, but turned into a flock of white cranes, flying high and calling for their homeland......

Ropes were lowered at the top of the ramparts, and the staff hung down the ropes and carved the names of the victims on the walls......

After the commemoration is over, various medals are awarded.

A total of six medals were awarded by the 53rd District,

The Order of Victory is awarded to everyone who participated in the battle against the insect tide;

The Order of the Red Star is awarded to a fighter who has distinguished himself in battle;

The Medal of Valor is awarded to the martyrs who have sacrificed their lives and to the brave and desperate soldiers who have fought in battle;

The Order of Friendship is awarded to reinforcements from other regions or to expatriates who voluntarily support Area 53;

The Hero of Labor medal is awarded to non-combatants who have contributed to the preparation of war;

The Special Medal of Commendation, also known as the Director's Special Medal, is awarded only to those who have made outstanding meritorious service and turned the tide of the war and made great contributions.

……

Because of Ma Xiuyuan's mistake, Ye Ze was pulled into the team to find the queen of worms, and he also won a Red Star Medal. He is one of the few people from Lanhai University who has been awarded the Order of the Red Star. Most of the Elemental Domain cultivators like He Yan and Yu Shu who stayed in the command all the time, or Zhuo Ping who stayed in the queue and unleashed their abilities according to instructions, only had the Victory Medal.

Ye Ze looked at the lonely Victory Medal on the chest of others, and then looked at his golden Victory Medal and Red Star Medal, he was very proud, and he could finally prove his ability and potential to the family.

"I am the one who made meritorious contributions in the Insect Tide War, and I am the person that the Commander of the Fifty-third District is optimistic about, how can Ye Xin and Ye Xiu, the second ancestors of the family, compare with me?"

Ye Ze thought to himself that he was an outstanding young cultivator in the entire fifty-third district, until he saw Lu Xi.

He ...... How can he have five medals? ”

Lu Xi received a total of five medals in this battle.

Participate in the war and receive the Medal of Victory.

When preparing war materials, he was awarded the Order of the Hero of Labor for his outstanding performance in the work of enchanting shells.

When the Corruptor blew himself up, he heroically pounced on Chief Staff Officer Huo Ning, and shielded the splattered acid with his shield, desperately saving the commander of Barrier No. 3 and receiving a Medal of Valor.

In the Battle of the Third Barrier, as an assistant to the Chief Staff, he performed well and was awarded the Order of the Red Star.

In the process of finding the Bug Queen, use the Perception ability to find the second Bug and receive a Special Reward Medal.

The actual reason why Lu Xi obtained the Red Star Medal and the Special Reward Medal was to use aura manipulation to strengthen the abilities of others at critical times, once to strengthen other cultivators on the No. 3 barrier, and once to strengthen Han Qingfeng in the middle of the insect tide.

Because of Han Qingfeng's special confidentiality requirements, the real reason for the award was not reflected, and only Han Qingfeng, Ma Xiuyuan, Huo Ning, and Ye Ze knew the truth.

Lu Xi looked at the five medals on his chest with a helpless expression, he didn't really care about these medals, it was Lao Han who insisted on awarding them to him. Lu Xi always felt that Lao Han was deliberately adding honor and merit to himself, as if he wanted to make himself a role model for young cultivators.

He sighed, he almost had a grand slam, except for the Friendship Medal awarded to cultivators in other regions, he won it all over again.

Looking at Lu Xi's helpless look, Ye Ze wanted to scold, the entire fifty-third district, you have received a lot of rewards, are you still not satisfied? You don't want to give it to me, especially that special award medal. Only five were awarded in this battle, and except for Huo Ning and Lu Xi, the other winners were sacrificed......

All those who participated in the war at Lanhai University will receive social practice points in the Creation 101 selection, and in the 100-point scale, social practice points account for a total of 20 points, and according to the past practice, students who have won the Order of the Red Star can get full marks in this score.

But there was an exception today, Lu Xi won all the medals he could obtain, including the special award medal of the highest honor, and his contribution was significantly higher than that of others. If he is recorded as a perfect score along with other students who have only received the Order of the Red Star, it will not reflect the difference in performance at all.

In the end, the grading committee deliberated and decided that Lu Xi's social practice score would be recorded as a full score of 20 points, the students who won the Order of the Red Star would be recorded as 10 points, and the scores of other students would be halved.

"Won't this cause displeasure among other students?"

"What's the grievance? The points of those Red Star Medals are half of Lu Xi's classmates, do they dare to say that their contributions are half of Lu Xi's? Giving them 10 points is a relaxation of the standard. ”

In this way, Lu Xi single-handedly raised the scoring standard and lowered everyone's social practice scores, ranking first with a total score of 20 points.

……

At the time of the awards, there was also a small episode.

The caravan of the 71st District, which was stranded in the 53rd District, was also called up to join the Cultivators' Alliance. Geng Guoyuan, Rong Qi, Rong Chu and others formed a hunting team, and with their rich hunting experience, they hunted many insects and won the Order of the Red Star and the Order of Friendship.

It's just that Rong Qi died in the war. Rong Chu did everything he could to preserve his brother's body so that he could be buried in his hometown. It's just that he found a strange phenomenon on his brother's body.

After the practitioner dies, the spiritual energy in his body will be restored to aura and gradually dissipate in space.

In the 71st District, where the conditions are harsh, people will practice next to the bodies of their loved ones, using the dissipated aura of their relatives to improve their cultivation. They see it as a way to keep their loved ones by their side forever.

But Rong Chu found that on his brother's body, there was not the slightest feeling of aura escaping. And he also found a strange pinhole in his brother's eyebrows......

He felt that there must be something strange behind this, so when he was awarding the award, he stopped Han Qingfeng.

"I'm Rong Chu, the fierce beast hunter of District 71, and I have something important to report to Director Han!"
