Chapter Eighty-Seven: Penance
After the beast tide, the entire base was in a busy state.
The outer city walls and towers are damaged in many places, and there are still a large number of demonic beast corpses inside and outside the city that need to be disposed of.
The whole aftermath work is very complicated and trivial.
The third day after the beast tide.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Lin and Zhao Lingyi met on time and went to the 'Hero Cemetery' in the military area together.
The 'Heroes' Cemetery was built by the state at the beginning of the war.
Each base will have one for the burial of combatants who died in the war.
Those who died in the battle against Warcraft will be buried here after their sacrifice.
This is not only a memory for them, but also an honor.
On this day, the weather was exceptionally cold, and there was a drizzle falling in the sky.
Chen Lin and Zhao Lingyi were both dressed in black clothes and black pants, and their expressions were very solemn and serious.
Chen Lin held an umbrella and walked slowly towards the cemetery with Zhao Lingyi.
Half an hour later, the two came to the memorial hall of the 'Heroes Cemetery'.
The surrounding streets were full of mourners, and at the front of the auditorium were families and loved ones, and there were faint cries coming from inside.
Next are some high-level government officials and some high-level coalition leaders.
Then there were some ordinary cultivators.
and some of the ordinary people who spontaneously came to see them off on the outskirts.
Inside the museum, at the very front, lie nine heroes.
Each of these nine people was a Heavenly Rank cultivator, and they had given their lives in this catastrophe.
Some don't even have corpses, so they can only be replaced with statues.
For the sake of the compatriots behind them, they fought all the way through obstacles and bloodshed until the last moment of their lives.
They are all heroes and the pride of the entire humanity on Earth.
The music of mourning sounded, and the memorial service began.
High-ranking government officials, high-ranking military generals, and high-ranking members of the Monks League paid their respects one by one.
Afterwards, ordinary cultivators and some special people mourned.
Chen Lin and Zhao Lingyi followed the flow of people and walked into the memorial hall.
Both bowed respectfully three times.
The family members next to them, everyone's face was full of sadness, their eyes were red, and there was a murmuring choked sound.
They may be fathers, husbands, or sons, but they are undoubtedly heroes, and they are all iron-clad men.
Soon Chen Lin and Zhao Lingyi left the scene, and after Chen Lin found the five members of the mad wolf team, a group of seven people walked towards the cemetery.
There are also many unknown heroes in the cemetery, who do not have great strength, but do the same thing as the heroes.
They used their weak bodies to block wave after wave of attacks from demonic beasts, and at the last moment of their lives, they still burst out with incomparable brilliance and splendor.
They also deserve to be respected and remembered, and they are all heroes.
Brand new tombstones appeared in the cemetery, as if telling their heroic deeds.
There are 431 earth-level cultivators, 12,360 human-level cultivators, and 322,817 soldiers.
These are the heroes who died in this beast tide, and every single one of them is good.
Each tombstone has a picture of them in front of it, and the deeds of the owner are engraved underneath.
There are also family members and relatives next to some of the tombstones, and the whole cemetery is filled with an air of sadness and sorrow.
There are old people crying, young people crying, and some children have red eyes.
After three minutes of silence, the seven got up and left, heading out into the street.
"Hey, I didn't expect that even Zhou Lei's predecessors were sacrificed, at the beginning, I also received the guidance of Zhou Lei's predecessors, why did it blink an eye, and it was separated by yin and yang. Jiang Bing shook his head and sighed.
As a cultivator, walking on the tip of a knife every day, and someone pulling you and guiding you at a critical moment, is a great kindness.
"Who said it wasn't, I saw Wu Yi's predecessor a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be ...... now. Zhang Ming also sighed.
"I heard that this time, Senior Wu Yi finally pulled two Heavenly Rank Demonic Beasts and ran into the attack range of the nuclear weapon, and went to Huangquan together. Qian Tao whispered on the side.
"They're all heroes! Yang Li also sighed.
"This time, there was a wave of beasts in various countries in Asia, and the casualties were relatively heavy. ”
"In China, in addition to our Z province, N, H, E, L, and K provinces have all seen intermediate beast tides, and the beast tides in C provinces are close to high-level beast tides. ”
"The mid-level beast tide in our Z province is relatively small, and it is understood that there are less than five million demonic beasts. ”
"But it is these magical beasts that have caused us to sacrifice 300,000 people, you know, we have made a lot of preparations, plus the help of nuclear weapons. ”
"It is conceivable that this beast tide will have a great impact on Huaxia and even the whole of Asia, and I don't know how many people will have to be sacrificed. Zhao Lingyi was on the side, recounting the information she had gotten.
Warcraft has always been the biggest threat to humans on Earth.
Chen Lin looked at today's scenes, and his right hand clenched unconsciously.
I must break through to the ground level as soon as possible, and then join the global elite training camp to gain more power, and I must grow as soon as possible.
In order to protect the people he can protect, and to be able to contribute a little bit of his strength in this troubled world.
"Let's go, it's almost noon, let's have a meal together." Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go together. Several people also smiled and nodded.
After a few people left, they directly found a large hotel in the surrounding area.
Under the arrangement of the hotel service staff, seven people came directly to the private room on the third floor.
Taking advantage of the cooking effort, several people immediately chatted, after all, for more than two months, everyone was busy and had not been together.
"Captain, I probably won't be participating in this hunt. After Chen Lin chatted a few words, he said to Zhang Ming on the side.
"Oh, what's wrong, is something wrong?" Zhang Ming wondered.
When several people on the side heard Chen Lin's words, they all quieted down and looked at Chen Lin with a questioning expression.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I feel like I'm about to break through, and I'm going to retreat for a while. Chen Lin explained.
"Congratulations. Yang Li was the first to speak.
"In this way, you are one step closer to entering the Global Elite Training Camp. Zhang Ming also smiled.
"Okay, Brother Chen, it's going to break through again. Qian Tao gave Chen Lin a thumbs up.
"Awesome. Li An patted Chen Lin's shoulder excitedly.
"Little brother, it's really yours, your strength is improving so fast. Jiang Bing's smile revealed a little helplessness.
The next day, the five members of the Mad Wolf Squad went to the wilderness, and after Chen Lin saw them off, as soon as they returned, they directly went into retreat and practice.
In the basement, a figure was sweating.
Chen Lin was training with the Tiance Sword in his hand, and the frequency of swinging the sword was very high, and after an hour, Chen Lin, who was covered in sweat, stopped training.
Afterwards, Chen Lin sat cross-legged, carried the Xuanhuang Jue of the Heaven and Earth, and absorbed the aura.
Two hours later, Chen Lin, who had recovered his aura, stood up and began to fight again and again.
Just keep training, and then absorb the aura, over and over again, repeating this process over and over again.
On the evening of December 31, 3019 in the year 3019 of the Earth Calendar.
11:30 p.m.
Chen Lin began to break through, and after meditating for two hours, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted all over his body, and then his breath became long, when his breath reached its peak.
"Po"
In Chen Lin's body, there seemed to be a shackle torn open, and the whole person's aura skyrocketed, and the golden light was shining.
Subsequently, he smoothly stepped into the Nine Realms of Human Steps.
