Chapter IV

In the night, Song Yucheng sat in the cold seat with his body propped up, and his expression was still the same as the hesitant and uneasy look before. The atmosphere in the silent hall was so solemn that you could even hear the subtle sound of breathing. Time passed little by little, and no matter how healthy his body was on the desk, he couldn't compete with the strong sleepiness at this time, and soon lost his main consciousness unconsciously. The whole body also collapsed on the desk under heavy pressure.

On the second day, the morning light was as peaceful as the past hit the center of the hall, and the gentle breath made people feel comfortable unconsciously, but for Song Yucheng, who had already woken up from sleep, this comfort made people feel guilty. Looking at the door of the hall with deep eyes, I kept thinking about something...

"Someone!"

"General."

Song Yucheng kneaded the bridge of his nose to soothe his uncomfortable expression.

"Arrange for me to go to Yang Xiaolong's mother later......"

"Yes!"

After that, Song Yucheng looked at the wind and left, far away outside the door, a woman and child squatted in front of the door and scrubbed the muddy clothes, the sun was imprinted on her head full of silver filaments and emitted sporadic flickering silver light, along the silver hair is full of wrinkles, a few drops of sweat hung on the forehead, and the red face still has a friendly smile.

After some sweat, the busy figure settled down, and sat on the bamboo chair in front of the door to rest, but after a while, he still couldn't bear to be idle, and walked into the house to take out a bamboo basket, selected a good-looking velvet and began to weave it.

The sun outside the house is also at its warmest, and the calm morning is spent peacefully.

The sunlight gradually shifted, and soon after, Song Yucheng appeared outside the house of the women and children with a team of people, neatly lined up, and their expressions were as solemn.

But Song Yucheng's face had a hint of gloom.

"General Song!"

The sudden sound in his ears alarmed Song Yucheng's slightly dull gaze, and his expression instantly became happy, but at this moment, when his eyes came into contact with the figure in his field of vision... The little glimmer in his eyes dimmed in an instant, and his expression changed from joy to guilt and surprise. The Adam's apple swung up and down twice, and the corners of the mouth slowly squeezed out two words from the mouth with the stretching of facial muscles......

"Su... Aunt..."

At this time, the person who slowly walked out of the house was Yang Xiaolong's mother, Li Su, and I saw her walking slowly at the same time as Song Yucheng shouted, her face was a little gentle, she grinned lightly, pulled a few wrinkles at the corners of her mouth and said with a smile -

"General Song! Why do you have time to come to me? ”

"I ......"

Song Yucheng was able to say it for the first time, and then hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"Aunt Su, they are not outsiders, you still call me Yucheng......"

"Hahaha...... I think so, calling General Song or something in front of you is weird. ”

Li Su's words also show the intimacy with Song Yucheng like mother and son.

"It's okay... Aunt Su, you can call it whatever you like. Song Yucheng said with half a sense of guilt on his face.

"That's good!"

Under the sun, Li Su, who was standing under Song Yucheng, didn't know that Song Yucheng still answered kindly with a sad face.

"Yucheng, ...... you guys?"

Li Su glanced at the queue behind him, and the neat queue of people behind him vaguely blocked a pair of jet-black wooden boards.

Seeing Li Su's gaze behind him, Song Yucheng also squinted, staring at Li Su's white hair, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, and then he took a long sigh of relief and said heavily:

"Aunt Su...... Sorry ......"

Li Su was startled, and turned his gaze to look at Song Yucheng's slightly trembling lips.

"What's wrong? Yucheng... Suddenly...? ”

Song Yucheng leaned down, bowed and said:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm sorry, Xiaolong, he ......"

The tone was very cold, and the slightly bowed body did not dare to stand upright for a long time.

"Yucheng, what are you? Xiaolong, what's wrong with him? ”

Li Su's expression looked chaotic, his eyes moved away from the black plank behind the soldiers, and he raised his hand to support Song Yucheng's body.

The several soldiers behind Song Yucheng also looked extremely dignified at this time, and their eyes did not dare to look directly at Li Su's unintentional gaze.

After a while, Song Yucheng turned his body to the queue behind him, and after a few glances with the soldiers, they also slowly moved their bodies away, revealing the black coffin behind them.

Song Yucheng held Li Su's back with his hand and said:

"I'm sorry... He didn't come back safely......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Li Su looked at the coffin again, his tone paused, and then his expression twitched only slightly, and soon a little kindness appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly grinning.

"Aunt Su......"

"It's fine. It's okay, it's hard for everyone to stand there, Yucheng, you let them put the black square on the ground. ”

Seeing Li Su this time, everyone seemed at a loss, looked at each other a few times, and then looked at Li Su in confusion.

"Aunt Su,... Are you alright? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, just leave it there, it's hard for you, you can go back......"

"Aunt Su......"

Song Yucheng shouted softly, not knowing how to comfort Li Su for a while, his face was full of guilt and helplessness.

"Let's go... Let's go..."

"......" Song Yucheng was silent at this moment.

"You guys, help Aunt Su bury the coffin before leaving......"

"No!"

"Plain ......"

"I'll just come by myself, he's my son......"

Li Su's face was still full of smiles without a trace of sadness, she waved her hand, signaling that they didn't have to stay for long, and in desperation, Song Yucheng slowly left with someone, leaving only the cold coffin exposed to the sun.

At the same time, under the valley east of Dawn Valley, Adjutant Zhang Lin was leading the Anlu team and others to carry out exploration tasks in the depths of the valley. The absurd surroundings tuged at everyone's body, and the sanity became less agitated than the day before under the torture of the stench of the night.

Adjutant Zhang...... The situation feels even worse now. ”

Anlu covered the parts of his face that were in direct contact with the air with thick clothing, trying not to let the stench enter his body. The other team members also looked like An Lu, and their eyes followed An Lu's words to Zhang Lin at the front of the team.

"How long has it been? Just stick to it and just wade through this area," Zhang Lin said a little impatiently, but compared to their commander, he was more like the leading big brother of An Lu and the others. In the face of a group of children who were only five years younger than him, he could not fully speak to them in a commanding tone.

"The general asked you to come out to experience, there is not much danger in this exploration itself, and we can't get past that weird fog and swamp, so let's take a look at the periphery first."

"Okay...... An Lu replied weakly, the surrounding environment had indeed brought a great strain to the spirits of several people. From a distance, under the surrounding valley, there were only figures slowly groping like rickets.

Not long after a few people surveyed, a boulder stood in front of several people from a distance, and the boulder was glowing with strange green spots, and from time to time there would be a few heavy low noises from it. It was the strange low sound that alerted Anlu and the others.

"What's that?" Anru said, pointing to a strange boulder in the distance. Zhang Lin's gaze also followed the direction of An Lu's finger to look at the strange boulder, and after a while, his eyebrows suddenly tightened, and he said tremblingly:

"That's ...... Behemoth Ovaries..."

Zhang Lin clearly remembered that when he first became Song Yucheng's adjutant, Song Yucheng had mentioned to him about the ovaries of giant beasts, and there were also documents that clearly recorded the characteristics of the ovaries. The boulder that appeared in front of several people now was the giant beast ovary recorded in the literature, and at the same time, recalling the beast tide that almost caused the fall of Dawn Valley a few years ago, Zhang Lin's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Could this area be their nest?" The team members behind Zhang Lin spit out.

"It's not that far from the Valley of Dawn, how can the ovaries of giant beasts appear so close to the human gathering place?" Zhang Lin said to himself with a tense expression.

"What do you mean?" Anlu asked, looking a little uneasy at this time.

"Under normal circumstances, the eggs laid by alien animals will be far away from humans or even the same race, so as to avoid the eggs being harmed! And there are alien ovaries here, which is very abnormal......"

"Maybe the swamp and fog will protect them?" A member of the team said slowly, which made Zhang Lin suddenly realize.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that Dawn Valley will soon usher in a new beast tide crisis......

"What then?" Anru then asked.

"Why don't we go and destroy the beast tide......" Shi Wei took out the weapon in his hand, compared to An Lu and Zhang Lin's uneasiness, his face showed more confidence.

"The situation inside may be more complicated, and we don't know what awaits us in this fog and mire." Anlu said to Shi Wei, motioning for him to put away his weapon.

"......" Zhang Lin was silent for a moment, as An Lu said, if the boulder is really the ovary of the giant beast, then there must be a strange beast that protects the ovaries inside, and there are even more unknown risks. Even if the ovaries are right in front of you, you can't get into the danger easily.

"Let's get out of this area first......" Zhang Lin said after a moment of thought.

"Is it just withdrawn? What about the ovaries? Shi Wei said puzzled.

"Back to Chenxi, this mission has been carried out here to complete the indicators given by the general, and it is also a good experience for you, but the rest of the matter is not something you can handle."

"What kind of experience is this?"

"Execute the order!"

"But..."Before Shi Wei's words fell, Zhang Lin spoke again-

"Since there are ovaries here, it means that there are more powerful alien beasts in it, and so far you have no experience in fighting against real alien beasts, not to mention that there is still a large swamp here."

Shi Wei didn't say a word and looked at An Lu and the other team members, all of whom were silent.

An Lu was very aware of the worry in Zhang Lin's tone, and also understood his own strength, so he looked at several people and then focused on Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin didn't say anything more, his eyes motioned for a few people to slowly retreat behind him, and a few moments later, the figures of several people also appeared on the periphery of the valley.

"We have to hurry back and tell the general about the specific situation here, so that the general can decide." With that, a few people rode their horses on the periphery and left the valley, which brought unrest and dross.

And at the same time as now, this series of new stories is happening in the command hall of Dawn Valley.

In the bright hall, several people gathered around a table for discussion, after Song Yucheng came back from Li Su, as the commander of the defense area of Dawn Valley, he had to put aside his past grief and devote himself to the affairs of Dawn Valley, but while he was still discussing the affairs of Dawn Valley with other non-commissioned officers, the soldiers and a woman outside the door attracted Song Yucheng's attention.

"Madame! The general is discussing today's affairs with other adults, and it is inconvenient to disturb him now. The soldier said forcefully

"Well, it's okay, I'll wait for him here." Ah Qing said softly, with an angelic smile on her face, and her hand gently brushed the hair scattered on her sideburns. And Song Yucheng in the hall caught a glimpse of this situation with his peripheral vision, and still talked about the content of affairs as before. After a long time, I saw the various non-commissioned officers inside come out one after another.

"Madame...... Madam" The non-commissioned officers who came out all greeted Ah Qing who was waiting outside the hall one after another, and Ah Qing also nodded in response to them very virtuously. It wasn't until Song Yucheng was the only one left in the hall that she slowly walked in.

"It's a good thing." A cordial greeting aroused Song Yucheng's nerves at the same time. There was a hint of happiness on his face, and his eyes were also very gentle looking at Aqing.

"How do you have time to come. What about Jing Ran? ”

"I didn't come back last night, Jing Ran asked me to come over and have a look, but I ran out with Gu Ming."

"Haha, this kid."

"Is there something going on......" Ah Qing saw that Song Yucheng's spirit was actually not very good.

"How could it be...... I've been here last night because I'm too busy on business. Song Yucheng's tone was a little concealed.

"I met Aunt Su on the way here." Ah Qing said unintentionally, but it was precisely this sentence that made Song Yucheng's facial expression change slightly.

"yes......"

"What's the matter, speaking of Aunt Su, you don't seem to look very good......"

"No, you're thinking too much, you should care about Jing Ran, not these." Song Yucheng said, gently placing his hand on Ah Qing's forehead, and his face showed a hint of pampering.

"What the hell is going on... What are you hiding from me? Do you think your pillow person won't be able to see that your husband is on his mind? Ah Qing knocked Song Yucheng's hand down, and looked at Song Yucheng's eyes with a little fierceness.

"......" Song Yucheng didn't speak, but turned around and walked towards the general's chair, slowly sat down and was silent for a moment. Ah Qing looked at her husband, and a trace of worry and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

"Could it be ......" Ah Qing thought about Li Su's parent-child Yang Xiaolong in her heart, worried about whether he was killed, and her husband would be so depressed. Then Song Yucheng opened his mouth to confirm Aqing's inner thoughts.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Bruce Yang sacrificed. Song Yucheng held his forehead and sighed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How could it be. Ah Qing looked shocked.

"There's nothing that won't happen when you walk out of Dawn Valley, it's just that it came too suddenly...... Even I didn't have time to prepare......"

"Aunt Su......"

"Didn't you see Aunt Su?"

"Well, she went to the market alone, and she talked and laughed with the neighbors along the way, and I didn't bother them and came directly......" Aqing explained.

"......" Song Yucheng got up in silence and walked to Ah Qing's side.

"I sent Xiaolong's coffin to Aunt Su not long ago...... Aunt Su's state is very abnormal......"

"What?!"

"You go back and see Aunt Su, I'll come back when I'm done with the matter."

"Well, I see......" Qing said, with a little sadness in her heart.

Song Yucheng didn't speak again, and after being silent, he gently took Aqing into his arms.

After the two hugged each other for a while-

"Go back, take care of Aunt Su......" Song Yucheng whispered in Ah Yu's ear.

"Hmmm......"

After the two exchanged a few words, Song Yucheng sent Ah Qing out of the hall, and then quickly walked into the hall. The empty hall was much quieter than usual, Song Yucheng looked at the documents on the desk, and couldn't help but recall the appearance of Yang Xiaolong helping to sort out the documents-

"General, these copywriters will be given to Lord Zhang Lin tomorrow for a purpose, can you help me see if there is anything wrong......"

"You kid! Let me help you see that I usually don't follow Zhang Linxue well. ”

"Hey......

"Here, and here, just change it, and ask him to make more notes when he hands it over to Zhang Lin, these documents must be recorded......

"General Xie......"

"I don't want generals in private time, you kid should have done these things, Wenwen looks weak, but he always likes to dance with knives and guns."

"Isn't this still my wife, dancing with a knife and a gun can be regarded as strengthening the body, and if there is something, you can protect my mother."

"That's true."

"So you'd better transfer me to the City Defense Department......"

"Are you bored with Zhang Lin?"

"That's not ......"

"I don't think it'......"

"You know it in your own heart, so don't embarrass me......"

"What you can learn from Zhang Lin is far more than you think, let's talk about it when you achieve something one day."

"This ......"

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Alas......"

Thinking of Yang Xiaolong's sacrifice, he remembered the matter of his warriors again, and immediately shouted outside the door.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Call Vrei."

"Yes!"

After another few moments, Fure hurried to the command hall.

"General!"

"Have the families of Team C's sacrifices been informed?"

"I'm sorry General...... Team C is a total of five people, all of them are from the Dawn Valley refugee camp, and they ...... No dependents ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is there anyone you know in the camp? Friends and the like. ”

"My subordinates will go and investigate."

"Wait......"

The camps in Dawn Valley are for people from disaster-stricken areas of the continent, and they are home to people who have fled to Dawn Valley to seek refuge after the fall of the major defense zones. Bai Lusheng's policies have also greatly helped them, and at the same time, they have also played a crucial step in the peace of Dawn Valley. They are allowed to enjoy the same rights as the people of Dawn Valley, so half of the scavenging teams in Dawn Valley are from those camps, and their bravery is no worse than that of the natives of Dawn Valley, and it should be said that when they are willing to fight for Dawn Valley, they have become part of Dawn Valley.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Convey it...... Giving them a funeral this week, although they didn't bring back their bodies, at least let the people of Dawn Valley remember forever that their temporary peace was due to the bravery of these warriors. ”

"Yes......"

Time is always not kept, and it was close to sunset for ten minutes, and Zhang Lin and the others at this time also hurried back to Dawn Valley.

"Kaecheng, it's Adjutant Zhang Lin and they're back!" The soldier on duty shouted, and then the towering iron door slowly opened.

"Come with me to the general." Zhang Lin shouted at An Lu and the others on horseback, and before the city gate was fully opened, several people galloped away. The speeding horses also brought up clouds of dust.

"What's so urgent......"

"I don't know."

"Don't bother, close the gates!"

"Yes!"

Several of the soldiers in charge of Kaesong were discussing it boringly.

After a while, Zhang Lin and the others arrived in the command hall.

"General!" Zhang Lin spoke, his breath was extremely short. Anlu and the others were also leaning on each other's shoulders in the back, panting.

"It's back! How it goes! ”

"The situation is not optimistic...... Over there, the ovaries ......."

"That's really the case......" Song Yucheng guessed it when he surveyed with a telescope the day before yesterday, and now it seems that the guess of the day has been completely fulfilled.

"Did you know that in the morning?"

"I won't forget that breath, but I didn't expect them to actually appear so close to the human gathering......"

"That's why you arranged to build the fortifications earlier yesterday?"

"Hmm...... What is the exact size of the ovaries you found? ”

"I don't know, but what appeared in front of us was a spherical boulder, and it was not wrong to judge that it was one of the ovaries of the boulder."

"What about the others?"

"There's a valley in that area, surrounded by mud and a strange fog, and we haven't ventured into it."

"Hmm......" Song Yucheng replied thoughtfully.

"Are we sending people to destroy the ovaries?"

"This matter will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow morning, I have other things to deal with later, you have just returned, take Anlu and them to rest well tonight."

"Yes......"

After the night was completely covered, Song Yucheng walked out of the command hall alone and walked in the direction of Li Su's mansion, only half of the moonlight reflected under the high wall, and the city was not brightly lit, and the light was sporadically dotted. Song Yucheng's mind was full of Li Su's kind and kind face, and his face became even darker in the dark night.

"General Song, are you going to go home?" Song Yucheng passed by a house, and an old man came out and greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Well, I haven't rested yet, Uncle Ding." Song Yucheng replied to his senses.

"Come in and sit down?"

"No, hurry back, Uncle Ding should rest early." After that, he walked straight away without looking back, leaving only the old man shaking his head in place and confidingβ€”

"Alas! This kid ......"

It didn't take long for Song Yucheng to come to the door of Li Su's house, a few steps away, the black coffin was no longer in place, leaving only a deep inlay, Li Su was approaching the door with a rusty iron basin in his hand, and his wife Aqing also happened to appear in front of the door to take Li Su's hands. Seeing this, Song Yucheng also walked in a few strides, and his eyes paused for a moment when he passed by Yang Xiaolong's coffin.

"Su... Maternal aunt. ”

"Yucheng! Coincidentally, I just walked in and you arrived. ”

"Aunt Su, ...... you are"

"You said Xiaolong, he came back before, and said that he wanted to eat meat dumplings, I went to the market in the afternoon, bought some meat filling, and came back, he slept in the house, and said that I would call him when I was ready."

Li Su's face revealed an incomparable sense of happiness, while Aqing on the side was already full of tears, and Song Yucheng also paused, glancing at the coffin outside the house.

"Su ......" Before Song Yucheng's words fell, A-Qing reached out and held Song Yucheng's hand, shook her head slightly, and signaled Song Yucheng not to speak.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Aunt Su, I'll help you." Ah Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, and said to Li Su with a smile.

"Good, good ......"

After dinner, Song Yucheng and his wife were also ready to get up and leave.

"Aunt Su, let A-Qing accompany you."

"Yes, Aunt Su, you ......"

"No need, I'm an old woman, I'm used to being alone, you see that I don't usually live the same life when Xiaolong doesn't come back."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Song Yucheng and his wife were silent, and their faces darkened.

"Go back...... Isn't there still Jing Ran at home, don't go back so late, don't let the child worry about you. ”

At this point in Li Su's words, A-Qing's tears could no longer be held back, but in order not to cry in front of Li Su, she quickly turned around and pretended to leave.

"Aunt Su...... Then I'll go first......"

Song Yucheng saw Aqing's mood, so he said goodbye and left......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

There is not much silence under the moonlit night sky, listen carefully, the sound of grasshoppers lingering inside and outside the house, and in the twilight, Li Su sat alone on the threshold in front of the door, gently shaking a fan.

- "Mother, give it, you can use this when you get hot in the future......"

Gently squinted at the small bamboo basket placed on the chair in the room, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

- "Mother, I have woven a basket for you, and you can take it with you when you go out to the market in the future......"

Looking at the clumps of velvet in the basket, Li Su's nose finally turned red.

- "This scarf is so warm......"

In Li Su's eyes, every grass and tree, every brick and tile seemed to have a fresh life, and they called softly, small but very warm.

- "Mother...... Mother ......"

"You, just like your father, protect your family and defend the country......"

Li Su could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, seeing things and people, his wrinkled face was full of tears.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When the first time the Dawn Valley faced the beast tide, he said that he would definitely return, and assured me that many people would come back safely until the end, but he never returned......"

Time did not stop with a brief period of sadness, and soon a new cycle began in Dawn Valley.

Also in the bell of Dawn Valley, Song Yucheng also walked into the command hall on time, and Ah Qing was worried about Li Su, so he took Song Jingran to visit early in the morning.

In the command hall, many people came one after another, all of them were officials of all sizes in Dawn Valley, and everyone sat down in an orderly manner around the conference table, all of them looking at Song Yucheng on the main seat with solemn eyes.

"It's all here, right?"

"It's all here." Zhang Lin said.

"Well, you can explain the matter to everyone."

After just a few words, Zhang Lin sat down, and everyone else present was shocked except for Song Yucheng.

"That's the giant beast's ovaries, are you sure?" The first to speak was Fure.

"It's true, this incident was encountered when I was exploring with a newcomer." Zhang Lin said affirmatively, and when everyone saw Zhang Lin who was so sure, the surprise on their faces suddenly became dark again.

"What are you doing listlessly? An incomplete ovary scares you like this? If the real beast tide hits, you must not shrink up and wait for death?!! Song Yucheng's face showed a little unhappiness. When everyone heard this, they immediately readjusted.

"The size of the ovaries is still unclear, and the valley is surrounded by a swamp and a fog that cannot be dispersed, and most people will not be able to get out if they go in...... So," Zhang Lin immediately added when he saw this, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Lei.

"But there's one more thing...... "Fu Lei spoke again, looking at Song Yucheng with a look of help, Song Yucheng also immediately realized Fu Lei's thoughts, and signaled-

"Yes, there is one more thing." Once again, everyone looked at each other with solemn faces.

"Regarding the scavenging incident in the Strange Wood Forest, the first Du Ming team to be sent suffered heavy casualties, and even the team in the refugee camp also... Even the person sent the day before yesterday afternoon had a more or less accident......"

Song Yucheng stated, and the miscellaneous worries in his heart also arose.

"The problem we're facing now is the weird thing in the Weird Woods and the ovaries in the valley east of Dawn Valley."

"Zhang Lin, you continue." Song Yucheng raised his hand and said to Zhang Lin.

"So... Just in case, someone had to go to the other side of the valley to suppress the development of the ovaries. ”

"What do you think?" Song Yucheng threw the words to the others.

"Do you need to send separate teams?" The opening is a non-commissioned officer of the rank of lieutenant

"Let's let it go over there for a while, the people who came back have already taught them a lesson, there is no need to let people go over and sacrifice, gather a few elite teams to find a way to deal with the problem of the giant beast's ovaries first."

The other half of the lieutenant-rank non-commissioned officer added.

"What do you mean to let go first, and the sacrificed people are not worth the risk for everyone?" Another non-commissioned officer retorted.

"We can't predict the speed at which the giant beast's ovaries will be formed, and if we take a step too late, it will cause a catastrophe." There were also non-commissioned officers who retorted.

"Then you can't completely let the things of the Tricky Wood Forest run wild, if it leaves the Tricky Wood Forest, it will inevitably cause more ......casualties," Fu Lei pointed out worriedly.

"In just one week, Dawn Valley has lost eight warriors, and most of them are still elites with rich wilderness experience." A refugee camp representative added to Vorley's words.

"Now there is also the threat of giant beast ovaries, although the Strange Wood Forest is dangerous, it will not cause harm to Dawn Valley in a short time, but if the ovaries are allowed to hatch smoothly, we will face the invasion of beast tides." Zhang Lin explained in position.

"But ......"

Looking at the few people arguing, Song Yucheng frowned and proposed the final decision.

"That's enough, just in case, send people to the ovaries first, as for the Wei Mu Forest, just postpone the two teams to follow Mu Yun of Du Ming's team to survey the periphery, if there is any unfavorable situation, it is not allowed to retreat directly, and the other departments are fully prepared for battle to meet the crisis that may come at any time."

"Yes......"

Seeing that Song Yucheng's decision had been decided, everyone was not arguing.

This was followed by a series of discussions on strategic deployment, which lasted for a morning, after which everyone returned to their posts and began to carry out combat missions.

The time came to four o'clock in the afternoon, and Song Yucheng at this time came to the high wall overlooking the Dawn Valley as usual, and it didn't take long for there to be an additional figure on the stairs of the high wall.

I saw Du Ming slowly walking from below, and he didn't stop until the whole person was completely noticed by Song Yucheng.

"I know everything, how do you feel now?" Song Yucheng said with a comforting face.

"If I have the chance, I'd like to go to the North, which is where they live." Du Ming set his eyes to the north of the city, staring for a long time at the cumulus clouds fluttering back and forth in the northern sky.

"Maybe for them, Dawn Valley is more like their home."

"Perhaps......"

"What the hell is the thing in the Strange Wood Forest......?" Song Yucheng changed his words and asked Du Ming directly.

"Ghosts, demons, or something else...... I don't know, it's just that we can't deal with that thing at all. ”

"In the wilderness... There are so many things that can't be done by manpower, and you've done your best. Song Yucheng sighed and whispered

"......" Du Ming was silent for a moment, his eyes revealed a trace of unwillingness, and he himself knew very well that they were facing a gap that was insurmountable for ordinary people that day.

"The matter of the Strange Wood Forest, let's put it aside first, now we have more important things to face, and there is no need for a second ...... of meaningless sacrifices."

"Do you think their sacrifices are meaningless?"

"Every person who has died, their name will be remembered forever by those who survived. You know this better than I do. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sorry"

"Take me to see them......"

"Yes......"

After a while, the figures of the two moved from the high wall to the silent cemetery, and Song Yucheng stood straight in front of those heroes, solemnly saluting them. It was as if he was whispering something, but he didn't listen very carefully. After a while, he bowed deeply.

"Thank you for coming with me." Song Yucheng said with a slightly wry smile.

"General......" Du Ming didn't know how to answer for a while, his eyes lightly skimmed to the side, and he couldn't move away from the tombstone of the soldier in front of him for a long time.

"I rarely visit them alone, I can name almost all the people lying here...... They are all the greatest people in the world, at least for Dawn Valley. Song Yucheng said softly with light in his eyes.

Du Ming listened quietly to Song Yucheng's statement, and the pictures of those who had passed away kept surging in his mind.

"People like us who survive in the wilderness need to fight harder with their will, and you are not the only one on your shoulders." Song Yucheng gently patted Du Ming's shoulder.

"I understand."

"Alright, let's go back, we still have a lot of things to deal with." After that, the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the silent cemetery, and in the middle of the streets of Dawn Valley, the two also separated after a few words, in private, they were not exactly like the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but more like brothers. This may be one of the reasons why the people and the army of Dawn Valley are so harmonious.
