Chapter 2 Departure into Space 15

The commendation ceremony officially began, and all mankind broadcast it live simultaneously. The coalition government deliberately publicized this commendation ceremony in order to boost the morale of the people and all mankind, and naturally the army was very happy, after all, it was the military that the commendation would be of great benefit to the future conscription work.

Grove announced the start of the ceremony in front of the microphone, and he walked back to his seat.

The two moderators walked to the front desk and began to read out the prepared statements. This time, the host is Jack, the press spokesman of the army, and the woman is the now popular female singer Mingmei.

With her singing, the female singer has always boosted people's morale and called on people to unite against the catastrophe of mankind, and her popularity among the people and the army is unmatched.

Moreover, one of the two is from the army and the other is from the people, which makes the public feel that the military and the people are one. Jack first introduced the deeds of the commended personnel, the top-secret part was cleverly omitted by him, and Mingmei expressed the people's admiration and admiration for the commended personnel in a passionate tone, and the atmosphere of the venue reached a climax under the joint interpretation of the two.

Just when the crowd was excited, Mingmei said: Now we invite our heroes, Major Xingtian and Captain Ares, to our rostrum to meet you, and at the same time, President Zion of the coalition government will present the Order of Merit.

After finishing speaking, I saw Xingtian and Ares get up one by one, straighten up their military uniforms, and then the two of them walked slowly to the rostrum, one after the other.

When the two of them walked to the center of the podium, they turned around and saluted at the same time facing Grove and Zion, and then turned back to salute the officers in the field under the rostrum.

Zion got up and came to them, took the Elite Medal from Miss Manners, and first put it on Xingtian, and said, "Thank you for your contribution to humanity."

Xingtian immediately saluted. Zion turned and picked up another medal, walked up to Ares, put on the Medal of Elite for him, and said again: Thank you for your contribution to humanity.

Ares immediately saluted. After putting it on, Zion began to applaud the rostrum, and the audience also burst into warm applause at this time.

Xingtian and Ares saluted the rostrum and the officers below, and then were led down the rostrum by the hostess.

The members of the rescue team took the stage one after another to receive the medals and military merit certificates, and the ceremony ended in a warm atmosphere.

After the ceremony, the hosts, Jack and Mingmei, announced that Xingtian, Ares, and the members of the rescue team would take a special plane to the moon base to participate in the celebratory procession, accompanied by Zion.

The people of the moon base next to the TV were boiling again, after all, it was a great joy to be able to see their heroes with their own eyes.

Zion had a one-hour meeting with Grove and lunch with the honorees, and then boarded the plane to the moon base with Xingtian and the other honorees.

There was no word all the way, and when they came to the moon base, the people waiting outside the airport were already crowded.

As soon as the heroes left the airport, everyone cheered, wantonly unleashing their enthusiasm. Zion smiled when he saw this scene, and the effect of this fanfare commendation meeting was much better than expected.

Humanity now needs this kind of enthusiasm and the sustenance that can unite people's spirits. The parade car, which had been waiting outside the airport, drove in front of them, and Xing Tian and others boarded the parade under the leadership of the staff to start the parade.

The atmosphere of the people was pushed to a climax again. Their parade car arrives at the future square of the lunar base.

A group of people got out of the car and boarded the high platform that had been prepared for a long time. Here they will continue to receive cheers and salutes from the population.

Just as everyone stood on the high platform and waved to the people, Xingtian suddenly felt something strange, a flash of light hit his eyes, and he immediately pounced on Zion, who was standing next to him, and shouted loudly: Lie down.

When Xingtian pounced in front of Zion, he felt a shock in his body, and his shoulder felt as if someone had hit him with a hammer, and inertia carried him to the ground.

Xingtian knew that he had been shot, and he only had time to look up at Zion before he fainted. At the same time, the crowd began to riot, and a conspiracy was taking place.
