Tianyang's magnetic car "Blue Light" is driving on the highway in Shangcheng District. They are now going to the home of the first soldier who died in the battle. Han Shu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, has been silent since getting in the car. The silent captain asked

The boy felt a little strange.

Han Shu suddenly spoke in a sentimental and slightly suppressed voice: "Tingshan, 19 years old, born as a commoner. Speaking of which, his family used to be a civilian. I heard that after encountering some changes, his contribution to the fortress has increased."

It has fallen, so it has also lowered its status."

"This guy has a very strong physique. He often does strength training in the training ground. He once came into contact with the Star Marrow Pillar in the reverse world, but unfortunately he did not awaken."

"He has a younger sister. The relationship between the brother and sister is very good. Before departure, he told me that when he returned from this mission, he would have enough contribution points to allow his younger sister to study medicine."

"Now that the pension plus our subsidy is added, his sister can study as a medical student, and the family will be able to live comfortably in the next ten years, but that boy..."

Speaking of this, Han Shu stopped.

Tianyang glanced at the captain with some surprise. He had no impression of the soldier named 'Tingshan'. To be precise, he had no impression of all the soldiers. But Han Shu not only knew the other party's name, but also knew the soldier's family.

Very familiar too.

But in his memory, Han Shu didn't seem to be the kind of person who often mingled with soldiers. Or was it that he just didn't know the captain well enough?

Stay silent and keep driving.

Soon, they came to the civilian area in the upper city. This is where the 'civilians' in the fortress live. The civilians in the fortress can live in the upper city. They usually master one or two special skills, such as mechanical maintenance.

, merchandise sales, simple care, etc.

An important feature that distinguishes civilians from commoners is education. Basically, every fortress will provide free basic education to civilians to cultivate basic talents in various fields in order to maintain the operation and development of the fortress.

As for the subordinates, they are the lowest level of the labor force. They are the largest and the cornerstone at the bottom of the fortress pyramid.

The civilians of the fortress also live in apartment buildings, and their apartment buildings are even larger than those of officers and ascendants like Tianyang.

Just big doesn't mean good.

On the contrary, in terms of living environment and per capita living area, it is far worse than Tianyang.

Just like the building Tianyang is seeing now, it is eight stories high, has no elevators, and has eight households on each floor. But apartments like Tianyang's have only three or four households on each floor.

The corridors are narrow, and there are piles of debris for the residents. Children are running in the corridors in groups. There are many clothes and beddings hanging on the fence of the corridors. Some domestic garbage is randomly discarded on the ground, and almost all the trash cans on each floor are

They are all fully loaded.

In front of a room on the seventh floor, Tianyang knocked hard on the thin door. He didn't want to be so rude, but there was too much noise in the corridor. If not, the people in the room might not hear the knock on the door.

"coming."

A girl's voice answered from inside, and soon the door opened. A young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old stuck her head out from behind the door and looked at Tianyang and the two: "Who are you?"

Han Shu took a step forward: "Excuse me, is this Tingshan's home? I am the captain of the Night Walker, Han Shu."

The girl's eyes lit up, she took a step back with joy, and opened the door completely: "So you are the captain that my brother said, please come in."

She called towards the kitchen again: "Mom, my brother's captain is here."

A middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen. She was not very old, but her long hair was already gray. Her face was a little sallow, which was a sign of malnutrition. Her skin was rough, and the hardships of life had left a heavy mark on her body.

Mark of.

She wiped her hands with a faded towel and warmly invited Tianyang and the two to come in. After closing the door, Tianyang had time to observe the room.

There is no entrance hall, it is directly into the living room. The living room is also very small, not even as big as Tianyang's bedroom.

There are many sundries, books, clothes, handicrafts... all kinds of things are piled up in the small hall, occupying most of the space in the living room, so that there is not even a place for guests to sit.

"Well, where is Tingshan?" The middle-aged woman glanced in the direction of the door from time to time, with a bit of expectation, and seemed to have thought of something, and asked anxiously, "Is he injured? Is he in the hospital?"

Tianyang's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Han Shu and suddenly felt the pressure on the captain.

Han Shu exhaled slightly and suddenly stood up straight, his voice low and firm: "Nightwalker Raven Squad, Soldier Tingshan, No. 10483. Now I officially inform you that this soldier fought bravely in this mission and died heroically. He

With his own blood and life, he laid an irreplaceable cornerstone for the growth and development of the fortress."

"I, Captain Han Shu of the Raven Squadron, would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the fortress."

"Thank you for training such an excellent warrior. To report your efforts. Later, the pension from the fortress and the administrative subsidy from the Night Walker will be sent to your account."

"During this period, if you have any difficulties, you can contact me at any time!"

"I'm very sorry that I didn't bring your son back. Please forgive me and bear with me."

After saying that, Han Shu bowed deeply.

There was silence in the hut.

Tingshan's mother and sister were stunned. They opened their eyes wide, thinking they had heard wrongly, but tears were already flowing silently across their faces.

"Tianyang..."

Hearing the captain's voice, the young man understood. He opened the iron box, took out the corresponding nameplate and handed it to Han Shu.

Han Shu held the nameplate in his hand and handed it to the mother: "This is Tingshan's nameplate. Please accept it."

"No, it's impossible..."

The young girl stepped back and suddenly sat down on the ground, covering her mouth and crying bitterly: "Brother, he promised me that when he comes back this time, he will take me to buy books! He will not break his promise, he promised me,

Will always do it!”

"This is not true, this is false, this is false, right!"

The middle-aged woman's hands were trembling, she took the nameplate, screamed suddenly, grabbed and hammered Han Shu, and bit Han Shu on the shoulder: "Why didn't my son come back! Why can you live well!"

Why not bring him back!"

"He's only 19 years old!"

Han Shu didn't speak, didn't resist, and didn't even blink.

It wasn't until the middle-aged woman vented her anger that he said "Sorry" again, and then took Tianyang away. When the two came out of the door, they heard the mother and daughter wailing loudly from inside the door. The burst of crying,

Let Tianyang have the urge to escape.

Han Shu raised his head with firm eyes: "Go to the next house."

Tianyang's heart trembled slightly. There were still six nameplates in the iron box that had not been sent back...

This time, they headed to Xiacheng District.

"Haichang, 25 years old, was born in the lower class. This boy is always silent and doesn't talk much. His eyes always look tired. I once asked him if he hadn't slept. He said that he had slept, but he couldn't.

He is worried all day long, which is not what he should be at his age. Instead, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties..."

Han Shu looked at a nameplate on his hand, and gently rubbed the surface of the nameplate with his rough fingers: "His father died in a factory accident ten years ago, and his mother died of illness three years ago. Now he has a 17-year-old younger brother at home, and

Two younger sisters, aged 13 and 10 respectively."

Not long after, they arrived at Xiacheng District. Tianyang, who grew up here, was very familiar with Xiacheng District. Although the address provided by Han Shu was very remote, Tianyang could not be troubled.

Parking the car on a nearby road, the two got out of the car and walked towards an alley not far away.

Originally, when the blue light car stopped, many nearby figures cast malicious glances, but when they saw the two people who got off, both wearing Nightcrawler uniforms, these figures quickly dispersed.

They know very well who they can mess with and who they can't.

Before they entered the alley, they heard a shout. The two stood at the entrance of the alley and saw three teenagers fighting inside. Two of them were holding down a stubborn teenager.

Han Shu narrowed his eyes slightly: "That's Haichang's younger brother."

He was referring to the one who was beaten.

Han Shu was about to step forward and separate the young men, but Tianyang held him back.

"It's okay, captain, the people in Xiacheng District are not that fragile. Moreover, your intervention will not stop this situation. On the contrary, it will only cause more trouble for Haichang's brother."

Being born in Xiacheng District, he knows the 'rules of the game' here very well.

So the two of them exited the alley again. After Han Shu finished smoking a cigarette, the two teenagers limped away. A cold snort sounded in the alley. Apparently Haichang's brother had solved the problem.

The boy picked up a basket from the ground, containing meat and vegetables. He carried the basket to the two little girls in the corner: "Go back, it's okay."

"Second brother, the corner of your mouth is cracked and you still say it's okay." A little girl complained slightly, but actually said with concern.

The young man laughed, and then let out a soft cry, which seemed to be touching the wound.

Seeing three figures entering a shack, Han Shucai threw the cigarette butt to the ground and said in a low voice: "Let's go..."

It was Tianyang who knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She looked at Tianyang warily: "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Haichang's home?"

As soon as Tianyang finished speaking, the stubborn young man's voice rang out: "Are you looking for big brother?"

The door opened completely, and Han Shu took a step forward: "I am the captain of the Night Walker Team..."

The same rhetoric, but with a different name, was like a bolt from the blue to the ears of these two half-year-old children.

The youngest girl tugged on her sister's sleeve: "Second sister, what is sacrifice?"

The clear childish voice was like a knife, cutting hard into Tianyang's heart.

Then a suppressed cry sounded in my ears.

After receiving the nameplate from his eldest brother, the stubborn boy pointed at the door with his eyes red, and just squeezed out one word: "Get out!"

"Feel sorry."

When Han Shu pulled Tianyang out of the shack, the door was closed hard, and then he heard the young man yelling: "Damn boss, don't you always say that the reverse world is too dangerous and the monsters are too scary. In this case, why?

If you don't retire, why don't you come back..."

"Why can't someone who is so timid like him be a worker peacefully and insist on becoming a soldier..."
