Chapter 174: Under the Fengling Monument, the soul returns!
Long Sihai escaped!
This is the final result of the military's three-day lockdown and house-to-house searches.
Long Sihai escaped, for Li Ba, he couldn't help but have regrets. If there was an extra flame talisman on his body at that time, he was confident that he would kill this fang and avenge Liang Shaoping and his brothers who died.
In the rainy night battle, the military lost two high-ranking officials, including Liang Shaoping, the military leader. As for the Harvest Firm, the evolution team members of the Security Department also lost most of them.
It is inevitable that someone will sacrifice to eradicate the cancer. It's just that the sacrifice is too great to bear.
However, as Long Sihai fled, the four leaders of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group were destroyed, and the huge industries left behind by these two families finally made up for some losses for the military and Li Ba.
Li Ba occupied the Sihai Building. He did not interfere in the rest of the two industries, and all of them were officially seized. At the same time, the official issued an announcement in the name of the management committee, listing many crimes of Long Sihai and the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, which were publicized in the city.
Since ancient times, there have been clouds, and the king has been defeated.
Long Sihai and the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group failed, the leader fled, died, and all the remaining members were imprisoned in the enclosure waiting to be disposed of.
The Sihai Trading House established by Long Sihai had its main materials concentrated in the base camp, which stockpiled a large amount of food, as well as firearms and arms. All of these were seized by the military. In comparison, the materials that Li Ba obtained from the Sihai Mansion are still small.
Of course, the most precious crystal nuclei were all in his pocket.
In terms of the merits of this battle, the Harvest Trading Company is undoubtedly the largest. It stands to reason that the harvest trading house should account for the majority of the materials collected by the two companies, rather than being confiscated by the military.
on this. Li Ba did not say anything for the time being. He believes that when the time is right. The military will give him an explanation.
You must know that Liang Shaoping lost to Long Sihai. Killed on the spot. And he fought hard and hit the other party hard, and the news has spread in the city.
There is no doubt that Li Ba has become the number one master in Xibu after succeeding Liang Shaoping. The fame is unmatched.
Also, it is the headquarters of the Harvest Trading Bank, which raises a terrifying beast. This rumor also spread. It is said that the beast was ten meters tall and roared like thunder. A third-level evolutionary can be easily killed with a single slap, and human power can't compete with it at all!
This rumor must have come from the Storm Mercenary Regiment. Because that night, many female soldiers under Si Jiyue witnessed the scene of the hairy monkey's fierce might.
As for the military, it was silent about it and did not stand up to refute the rumors at the first time. Because, this is a fact, it has been confirmed from Han Xue's mouth.
There is Li Ba, the number one master in Xibu. There is also the prestige of the hairy monkey terrifying beast, no matter how powerful the military is, it does not dare to fight with Li Ba in terms of distributing the spoils.
Pressing matter. Li Ba needs to deal with the internal affairs of the firm. In a big battle, the Security Department suffered heavy losses, and nearly half of the team members were killed. Most of the elite personnel of the Security Department are old departments with stone winds. There is a deep affection between the members. The hearts of those who survived were sad, and their emotions had infected the entire firm. Dead and demoralized.
As a boss. Li Ba must lead them out of the haze, break and stand up, and regroup their fighting spirit.
Five days later.
Zhennan Farm, a piece of land to the north, was originally cultivated, but now the crops have been bulldozed and a mausoleum has been built.
In the last days, if there is a lack of anything, there will be no shortage of labor. Under the order of Li Ba, the mausoleum was built in just a few days. During this period, his boss personally supervised the work, designed the layout of the mausoleum according to his own ideas, and built a resting place for the dead employees.
This mausoleum covers an area of nearly thirty acres. The entrance is a 20-meter-wide road that leads to about 500 meters ahead, and there is a huge square. Due to the rush of time, the ground had only time to be compacted on the pavement and the square, and no cement was poured. These will be refined in the future. It is imperative that the victims be buried.
In the center of the square, a stone monument eight meters high and six meters wide was erected. The material of this monument comes from the landscape marble on the wall of the ground floor hall of the Sihai Building, which was pried down by Li Ba and used as a mausoleum.
In the middle of the stele, 16 big characters are inscribed, which are mentioned by Li Ba himself.
Under the monument, the soul returns. There are no regrets in life, and there is no fear in death.
From the right side, the names of a line of pedestrians are inscribed, all of whom died in the battle. Among them, there are 23 members of the security department and 35 members of the internal security team. These 58 people were the first victims on the Fengling Monument.
In addition to them, there is another person whose name is also engraved on it, and that is Hua Manli.
This morning, all the employees of the Harvest Merchant Bank came, including 5,000 farm workers. There were also representatives from the government and various large and small forces in the city who came to watch the ceremony and mourn.
Li Ba and other high-level officials, all dressed in black, looked solemn, and stood under the monument. Behind them, thousands of people lined up neatly, black and silent.
The bodies of the victims have been cremated, and the ashes are stored in the mausoleum behind the monument. Incense, candles, paper money, and offerings are offered, and the ceremony officially begins.
According to Li Ba's meaning, the guests took the lead in coming forward to offer condolences. After that, he faced the Fengling Monument, knelt on one knee, held a bowl of white wine in his hand, took a sip, and spilled the rest of the wine on the ground.
"Good way, brothers!"
Li Ba's expression was tragic at the moment, and he shouted loudly: "There are no regrets in life, and there is no fear in death." In the future, if I Li Ba dies in battle, no matter where the bones are buried, the soul will be attached to the Fengling Monument, and I will reunite with all the brothers and never abandon it! ”
After his sacrificial words, Yang Jian and Liang Jie stood up and shouted in unison: "Under the Fengling Monument, the soul returns." There are no regrets in life, and there is no fear in death! ”
This was followed by all the core employees of the firm.
"Under the monument, the soul returns. There are no regrets in life, and there is no fear in death! ”
The group of fifty or sixty half-old children, Li Ba's diehards, were hoarse one by one, reciting the words of the Fengling sacrifice, and their small faces revealed the tragic momentum of indomitable and death-seeking.
Man is an animal that is highly susceptible to environmental atmosphere.
The tragic mood quickly spread among the crowd, and those farm workers who had just joined the trading house couldn't help but shout with the crowd around them.
"Under the monument, the soul returns. There are no regrets in life, and there is no fear in death! ”
The sound is getting louder and louder...... Until, more than 5,000 people were in unison, reciting the words of Fengling. The atmosphere on the field turned from tragic to high-pitched and passionate, and everyone was enthusiastic and imposing.
"What a clever hand!"
In the crowd of spectators next to him, Yan Jin frowned and said a word to Wang Feng beside him.
Wang Feng replied with a smile: "If you talk about winning people's hearts, no one can compare to him!" ”
At this point, he looked at Yan Jin and asked, "You still can't make up your mind?" ”
"I'm afraid of the lessons of the four seas...... Raising tigers is a problem! Yan Jin's expression began to become solemn.
Wang Feng smiled, shook his head and said, "You, everything is good, but you are a little narrow-minded...... With Li Ba's current prestige and his hidden strength, if he is really ambitious, what can we do to compete with him! ”
After Yan Jin heard this, he was silent for a while, and nodded: "Perhaps, you are right." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Feng's mouth. He knew that his stubborn old comrade-in-arms had finally compromised at this moment and agreed to that matter.
In the last days, human beings need not only food, but also faith and a kind of spiritual sustenance. Only in this way can we unite as one and give full play to our potential in the face of any difficulties.
The completion of the Fengling Monument is to erect a belief in the trading house. There are no regrets in life, and there is no fear in death. Under the monument, the soul returns. These sixteen words are the essence of the belief that Li Ba wants to erect.
He wants to convince his employees that death is not terrible. In the coming day, if any of them die in battle, their souls will be attached to the monument and reunited with their relatives and friends.
The monument is more like a holy relic, allowing employees to believe in it and worship it.
If the monument is erected before the end of the world, it will definitely be characterized by the government as engaging in feudal superstition and evil religious activities. And in the last days, human beings need it, they need a faith, a spiritual sustenance.
Li Ba did it. He looked back at the employees who were originally in a low mood, and at the moment they were all as high-willed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. The corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.
The ceremony ended quickly.
On behalf of Fengshou Commercial Bank, Li Ba paid tribute to the guests one by one and expressed his gratitude.
When the guests dispersed, the official representatives Wang Feng and Yan Jin stayed behind and had something to discuss with him. (To be continued......)
