It took a lot of time to inspect the containment center, and by the time Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong returned to the IAFA base, it was already a few days later.

There have been a few heavy rains on Wright, and the weather is getting cooler as autumn begins, and the gloomy weather has brought a sad color to this autumn.

The Hope Star Field's national funeral ceremony took place in this oppressive, breathless drizzle of early autumn.

In this great war against the invasion of the Zerg, there were more than hundreds of thousands of military and civilian casualties, and the funeral scene was covered with black umbrellas, and under each umbrella, there was a broken family and a group of heartbroken people.

Shu Yungui and Deng Yingkai also stood among these people, as the new commander of the rebel formation, he held an umbrella with his own hands, held a portrait, and stood beside Zuo Xuehai's wife and children, while Deng Yingkai stood on the other side, barely supporting Mrs. Zuo who was crying until she almost fainted.

Zuo Xuehai got married very late and gave birth even later, when his peers were about to become grandfathers, he just had a son and a daughter.

The eldest son is already sensible, holding his father's urn and shedding tears, while the youngest daughter has just been born, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying on her mother's shoulder, biting her fingers at Shu Yungui.

The child's eyes were so innocent that Shu Yungui didn't even dare to look at it, so he could only lower his head and watch the rain fall on the ground, rippling in the small pool of water.

Just like this water, it seems to outsiders to be just a series of casualty figures, but for the victims' families, every number is a huge earthquake like the sky and the earth are shattering.

Mrs. Zuo couldn't stand up, Deng Yingkai firmly held her and followed the team step by step.

After the ruins of the monastery had been thoroughly explored by IAFA, the remainder was backfilled, and the Coalition erected a monument in the center of the sinkhole to commemorate the great war of human self-defense.

The shape of the monument is a fist falling from the sky and striking a Cree worm, the fist is bruised, and the body of the Cree worm is cracked under the fist, raising its head and screaming, showing the indomitable and courageous human beings.

However, anyone who understands knows that this war can really blame the Zerg?

If it could, the fist should not be struck at the Cree worms, but at the humans themselves.

Deng Yingkai helped Mrs. Zuo to staggered up the monument, the umbrella in Shu Yungui's hand was completely biased to her side, most of his body was exposed to the rain, and his black military jacket was already half wet.

The staircase leading to the monument is difficult to walk, and every person and family who steps up the staircase has to cry until they fall, and Mrs. Zuo can barely move forward by relying on Deng Yingkai to carry it.

But her son is different, even if he cries and his eyes are red, but his eyes are full of tenacity, and he probably knows that this family will have to rely on himself to support him in the future, so the little man didn't say a word, and walked all the way to the monument with the urn in his arms.

An urn storage device is installed on the monument, and the box will be transported to the ground floor of the monument to live forever with all the soldiers who died in this war.

In Wright Star, where every inch of land is valuable, burial is a special burial method that only those who have made too much contribution to the alliance can have, and the alliance has hardened the entire bottom of the sinkhole, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be laid to rest.

Zuo Xuehai died in the explosion, and there were no ashes to collect, his urn contained his relics, and the epaulettes on his military uniform, which were sent from the Xingliu Aviation Station.

The six-pointed star banner of the Hope Star Alliance wrapped his urn, Shu Yungui put the portrait on the teleportation device, and bent down to pick up Zuo Xuehai's eldest son and asked him to put the urn on the teleport.

Mrs. Zuo couldn't cry, but the eldest son wiped a handful of tears, flattened the Union flag on it, and then followed his father's usual appearance and saluted the urn seriously.

The teleportation device activated, and the statue was sent to the memorial hall, while the urn slowly descended into the depths of the earth through a transparent pipe under their watch.

Shu Yungui and Deng Yingkai saluted Zuo Xuehai for the last time, and then he took the child's hand and took him to leave the monument from the other direction.

"Will I be a hero like my dad in the future?"

In the cold autumn wind and rain, the little boy raised his head and asked Shu Yungui with red eyes.

"Yes, you'll be the greatest League hero like your father."

The little boy glanced back at the monument and asked, "Will I be sent here in the future?"

Shu Yungui held the little boy's hand and suddenly clenched, but he did not stop, but continued to walk forward.

"No, it won't."

He said in a deep voice, "If you can, I want you to be an immortal hero."

"Immortal heroes?"

The little boy tilted his head and asked, "Is it the same as you?" I watched TV, and it said that you were the hero of the Alliance, and you saved all mankind, so you are an immortal hero, right?"

Shu Yungui lowered his eyes and glanced at the little boy, looked at his eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to Zuo Xuehai, and couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh.

"I'm not, victory belongs to all mankind, not to me alone, I'm just a ......"

His eyes reddened slightly, and he said, "Just a survivor."

The boy didn't quite understand what he meant, but the vehicle that took the family to the memorial hall had already arrived, and only immediate family members were received there, and Shu Yungui and Deng Yingkai could only send them here.

Mrs. Zuo bowed deeply to them, wept and got into the car and left.

Deng Yingkai was drenched all over, Shu Yungui took a step closer to him and deflected the umbrella.

"There's no point in using an umbrella or not, I'll go back and change my clothes later."

Deng Yingkai shook off the rain on his body and asked, "After the state funeral, how do you arrange it?"

If he returns to the Starstream Navigation Standby Station, he can still have a companion, but looking at Shu Yungui's current popularity in the alliance, it will be estimated that he will not be able to go back for a while.

"I spoke to Commander Xu on the phone yesterday, and he said that the rebel formation suffered heavy casualties this time, and it needs to be completed and repaired on Wright Star before going back."

"Isn't that a new batch of drivers to be recruited? Mecha pilots on Klaite are also scarce, so I guess we can only choose from among the students who have just graduated."

Deng Yingkai touched his chin and said, "The graduates of your Alliance Flight Academy are the best, can you tell your dean that you will give priority to making up for our rebel formation?" Otherwise, I'm afraid that our poor country will not want to go."

Shu Yungui patted his arm and said, "You are wrong, after this battle, the rebel formation has become famous in the star field, and yesterday Commander Xu sent me a bunch of files, all of which are graduates who took the initiative to sign up to join the rebel formation."

"Really? Can we usher in this day when a hundred flowers bloom in our bitter cold land?!"

Deng Yingkai was overjoyed: "Then let's quickly select people, and after the interview is confirmed, we can take people back, I am really fed up with the bureaucratic atmosphere of Xihe Aviation Station, and if I don't go back, I should be mentally deranged."

"Huh?"

Shu Yungui didn't stay at the Xihe Aviation Reserve Station for too long, and wondered, "What's wrong? What makes you so uncomfortable?"

"You don't know how clear the relationship between their superiors and subordinates is, together with the soldiers who enlisted in the army in the same year, they have to be accurate to the date to judge seniority, I can't stand this kind of day when there are brothers everywhere, or our Starstream Aviation Standby Station has a harmonious relationship."

What Deng Yingkai said is also a normal phenomenon, the Xihe Aviation Reserve Station is located in Wright Star, which is somewhat influenced by the bureaucracy of some Lighthouse Alliance, and it is also an elite of all employees, and which elite is willing to be subservient to others, naturally they have to compare with each other.

"I see you've been quite busy lately, it just so happens that our mechs are all being repaired, and I have nothing to do, otherwise I'll help you choose someone, arrange the interview time, and you can just come to the interview directly."

"That's the best, I'm worried about getting someone to help."

Shu Yungui is not polite to him, he has been really busy recently, after inspecting the IAFA reception center, the formal agreement between IAFA and the alliance is about to be signed, and several military schools have also frequently sent invitations for him to give speeches.

Otherwise, Zhu Qinmin and Zhu Xinyue, the father and daughter, would definitely not let themselves live in peace

。

Shu Yungui had only graduated for two months, and he felt that the burden on his body had suddenly become heavier.

There is no clue about Shu Tongze's mysterious signature, and Cheng Jing's "Detailed Rules and Management Regulations for the Classification of Special Changes in Human Beings" has been changed to the fourth edition, and each edition requires him and Cheng Sikong to carefully find out what needs to be modified, and there is no room for sloppiness.

These are big projects, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and with Deng Yingkai's help, he can be more or less relaxed.

"Alright, then it's settled, I'll go back and wait for your news."

Deng Yingkai waved at him and went back with the members of the rebel formation who accompanied him, Shu Yungui planned to find Cheng Sikong and Zhu Xinyue, but he didn't expect to see Lin Ai and Jiang Ruzhou by the woods far away from the crowd.

Lin Ai had been looking at the monument from afar, not knowing what he was thinking, and when he saw Shu Yun returning, he withdrew his eyes and slowly lowered his eyes.

Xi Zimo's body was also cremated and buried at sea a few days ago, and the ashes sprinkled by Lin Ai's own hands were guarded against her from getting out of control, but she calmly surprised everyone.

"How did you get here?"

Although it was not Lin Ai's intention to cause this war, she was the culprit in the eyes of the coalition masses, and indeed this matter had nothing to do with her, and it was not easy for IAFA to protect her, if it was discovered by outsiders, the anger of the masses would be set off again.

"She watched the TV report and knew that today was the big day of the state funeral, and she felt sorry for the victims and wanted to come and see them off."

Lin Ai still doesn't talk much, and after getting along with Jiang Ruzhou for a long time, he has become Lin Ai's microphone, even if Shu Yungui and Lin Ai can communicate through the worm core.

"Probably Xi Zimo's death made you feel the grief of the families of these victims, right? He really taught you a lot."

Shu Yungui stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of Lin Ai's head, and said, "It's all over, the deceased is gone, and then you have to use your ability to protect this star field and their relatives, this is your atonement, understand?"

Lin Ai nodded, hanging her head in a gloomy mood.

"Alright, don't get down."

Shu Yungui stretched out his hand to her and smiled, "Go home."
