Chapter 21: A Hero's Elegy
Long Xingyi was victorious, and there was no cheering or cheering in the crowd.
The leader of the Turks stepped up to the stage and looked down at Sharutu's body for a few seconds. He looked up and stared at Long Xingyi for a few seconds, and Long Xingyi couldn't tell from his eyes whether he was angry or shocked, and he couldn't understand what the other party said. The leader of the Turks said a word to Long Xingyi, and then walked out of the ring. The other Tuttus in the audience also got up and packed their bags, and two of them came to the stage to carry Sharutu's body and his tongue.
A lonely applause that comes to mind in the human camp is the Stygian Sea. His wrinkled face was full of old tears. His applause was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, inspiring the human camp, and in an instant, thunderous applause resounded through the dome of the arena.
The human camp also sent several fighters to the stage to clean up the bodies of Baofu Rusha and Yoon Jindong. Long Xingyi silently walked out of the ring, picked up the mecha bracelet on the ground, and put on the mecha. The deperspiration system in the mech automatically dried the sweat on his body.
Long Xingyi walked up to the Immortal Sea, who looked at him like his own son and asked him, "Do you still know how to Wing Chun?" ”
Long Xingyi nodded slightly, "My cousin is a martial arts idiot, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when he grew up, he became a famous Wing Chun instructor in our area. Influenced by him, I also learned some boxing techniques, just to strengthen my body. ”
Immediately, Long Xingyi looked sideways at Yin Yuting, in fact, he didn't dare to look at her directly, but when Long Xingyi looked at her, he found that Yin Yuting was smiling at himself.
"I'm sorry, if I had gone up earlier, Captain Yin wouldn't have sacrificed ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a deep voice sounded from beside him: "Yes, not only your warriors, but also my Baofrusha will now stand in front of me alive." "It was none other than General Andrei who spoke.
Shenchenhai shook his head, and said to Long Xingyi and General Andre, "Remember, your victory is not just your victory. If it weren't for the efforts of Baofu Rusha and Yin Zhendong before, the opponent's physical strength would not have been consumed so quickly, and the offensive would not have been panicked so quickly, and it is especially unknown who will win and who will lose now. You are the last sword to stick in the opponent when he is tired. ”
Long Xingyi didn't care about Andre's opinion, he just looked at Yin Yuting with a sideways face. found that Yin Yuting was also nodding to him in agreement, with tears in her smiling face and eyes.
When General Andre heard Hades Hai's analysis, he immediately sighed and stretched out his friendly right hand to Long Xingyi, "No matter what, you are a warrior who saved the entire human race. From now on you will be a friend of my Andrei Balkonsky. ”
Long Xingyi shook his hand, but at this time he was not in the mood to say any polite words, just smiled tiredly.
After Andre walked away, everyone also got up and walked out of the arena and returned to their spaceship. Long Xingyi suddenly thought about it and asked Shenchen Haidao, "What did that Tutu man tell me just now?" ”
"He said that you were the strongest human warrior he had ever seen, and he was surprised. They Turks respect the warriors and will keep their promises, and for the next 100 years, the Turks will not attack the solar system again. Stygian said.
"The shelf life is quite long." Long Xingyi finally made the first joke after the game. "Where are we going next?"
Shenchen Hai took Long Xingyi into the spaceship, "Let's go to the moon to rest first, and the funerals of Baofu Rusha and Yin Zhendong will be held there." Then we have to prepare for a counterattack on Earth. ”
"So fast?" Long Xingyi continued to talk about this topic, wanting to divert his attention and try to soothe the pain in his heart.
Shenchenhai's expression was unusually calm, and he replied as if he understood him very well: "Of course, we have to wait for it to cool down first." The Earth, which has just been grilled by the plasma cannon, is not so easy to stay at. ”
Long Xingyi smiled, as if he suddenly thought of something, and looked back at the cabin, his eyes kept searching. Finally, in the corner of the tail of the spacecraft cabin, I saw Yin Yuting's figure. She has been quiet since the end of the game.
"Let's go see her!" Shenchen Hai once again saw Long Xingyi's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder.
Long Xingyi walked through the shaking cabin, and the pilot shouted from the cab: "Those who haven't sat down yet, sit down quickly!" Fasten your seatbelts, we're going through the atmosphere. Long Xingyi didn't sit down, but sped up a few steps, walked to the vacant seat next to Yin Yuting, and sat beside her. was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yin Yuting.
"Don't apologize to me, you didn't do anything wrong. And dying on the battlefield has always been regarded by my uncle as the highest glory of a warrior, and if he sees the current result, he will praise you. Yin Yuting also seemed to avoid Long Xingyi's gaze, staring ahead and saying.
Long Xingyi nodded, "The greatness of his old man's life and the glory of his death are my example, and I will ...... in the future Will ...... for him."
"For him? Take care of me for him? Yin Yuting interrupted him again, but this time she turned her face sideways and jokingly said to him, "Save you!" It's nice that you can take care of yourself, and I'm not a three-year-old. ”
Seeing that Yin Yuting finally smiled, the dark clouds in Long Xingyi's heart finally gradually dispersed. He smiled embarrassedly and said no more.
The spaceship carried them back to the front-line headquarters, and as soon as they got off the spaceship, Long Haoqian ran over excitedly. It seems that what happened on Europa, and the people here also saw it through the communication system.
"Retreat! The battleships of the Turks began to retreat! Long Haoqian ran up and reported to the Underworld, while also looking at Long Xingyi behind him with big flickering eyes.
"Hmm." Stygian Sea agreed unsurprisingly, and said as he walked forward: "Prepare to withdraw to the Star Covenant space station, and then transfer to the lunar base." ”
Long Haoqian replied excitedly and loudly, "Yes!" Then he turned back to Long Xingyi and said, "I saw it!" That's amazing! Worthy of my ancestors! ”
Sounds so awkward...... Long Xingyi thought to himself, but smiled awkwardly at the communications officer in front of him. It was Yin Yuting who laughed out loud next to her.
Long Xingyi and the others did not leave the hangar, and the generals made a simple deployment at the front-line command headquarters, then returned to the hangar, and everyone returned to the Star Alliance space station by spaceship again.
After a night's rest at the Star Covenant space station, everyone was exhausted, so they all got into their sleep sacs early and had nothing to do all night. On the second space day, Long Xingyi and the others followed the Star Alliance troops to the moon.
The moon in 2199 is no longer a barren planet with craters on the surface, but a flowery living area covered by an artificial atmosphere. As Yin Yuting said before, the people who live on the moon are basically rich people, so the construction is better than that of the earth. The ecological area is densely wooded and the living area is full of traffic. The spaceship went around the living quarters, and on the way to the military base, there was still a green crop. Long Xingyi thought to himself, if human beings had known to live in harmony with nature, maybe the current earth would still be alive.
The ship landed on a flat tarmac of a military base, and everyone stepped off the ship. Long Haoqian followed behind the Underworld, next to Lei Ling, Long Xingyi and others.
"The bodies of Captain Yin and Su Guobao Fu Rusha have been directly transported here from the previous finger and are now being properly placed in the center of the body. Su Guo decided to bury the body of Baofu Rusha, and the body of Captain Yin ...... "Long Haoqian asked for instructions from the Underworld.
Shenchenhai stopped slightly, looked back at Yin Yuting, and said, "Ask the family!" ”
A trace of sadness flashed in Yin Yuting's eyes, and then she said, "Cremation!" My uncle was a very traditional man. ”
Hades nodded, "Then cremation." ”
The funeral was held in a small martyrs' cemetery at the rear of the base. The funerals of the two martyrs were unusually solemn, and the ceremonial teams of the two countries lined up neatly on both sides of the corridor, watching the metal coffins containing the bodies of the two heroes slide past them. Everyone present, whether they knew the two or not, all bowed their heads in silence.
Andrei, the general of the Soviet Union, spoke for Pauvrusha, praised the heroic deeds of Pauvrusha during his lifetime, and impassionedly sang a folk song from their own country in praise of the soldier who died young.
It was not Yin Yuting who read the eulogy for Yin Zhendong, but Shenchenhai. Dressed in a neat military uniform and full of medals, he solemnly walked to the front of the stage, held his head high, and said word by word to the people in the audience:
"When I was a squad leader, one day, the army held a speech contest, and I was deeply attracted by the speech of a sturdy young man. He said that the ancient swordsman, when he met the opponent in a narrow way, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if the opponent was the best swordsman in the world, he knew that he was invincible, but he had to show his sword. Even if you fall under the opponent's sword, you will still be glorious even if you are defeated, what kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of the bright sword! This young man who gave a speech is the martyr in front of you - Yin Zhendong.
On a later mission, my command failed, resulting in the death of his brother Yin Zhenbei. Yin Zhendong resented me in his heart and resented my superiors. But even so, he maintained his principles, obeyed orders, fulfilled his mission, and protected the people. Although we have a deep misunderstanding, in my heart, I admire him more and more.
In the face of powerful aliens, Yin Zhendong bravely showed his sword. He exchanged his sacrifice for the peace of all mankind. Pauvrusha, and Yoon Jin-dong, are heroes to all mankind and warriors of glory......"
Long Xingyi listened to it, and involuntarily began to think about it, recalling the deeds with Old Man Yin at the beginning, and he felt more and more sad. It wasn't until he was awakened by the singing of the people around him that he came back to his senses.
It turned out that after the eulogy was recited, he led everyone to sing the "Internationale". There is really the spirit of international humanism, Long Xingyi thought.
After the eulogy of the representatives of the two countries, the ceremonial team fired guns in mourning for the two martyrs. Immediately, the Soviet side sent the body of Pauvrusha into space by means of a small rocket. Yin Zhendong's body was sent to the cremation center for cremation.
After the body said goodbye, Yin Yuting went to deal with the placement of Yin Zhendong's ashes. Long Xingyi was alone in the martyrs' cemetery, looking at Yin Zhendong's tombstone and the empty tomb in a daze.
"The survivor steals life, and the dead are gone." Long Xingyi turned his head, and it turned out that it was the Stygian Sea standing behind him.
Shenchen Hai stepped forward and stroked Long Xingyi's shoulder, "He's right, you're good." We still have things to do, and don't let that go for granted. I just received news that the Interstellar Alliance has learned of your defeat of the Turks and wants to award you. You kid, you're going to show your face in front of the whole universe! ”
Long Xingyi didn't react at first, then suddenly turned around and widened his eyes.
"You've pushed me into the universe?"
