Chapter 234: About to Begin(1/2)

The clouds are gathering and the wind and waves are howling.

There are neatly arranged tombs as far as the eye can see.

The Battle of Red Maple is one of the most brutal battles in the entire Cataclysm.

As Jiang You's teaching assistant, the information you can access is limited.

Probably.

There were 40,000 extraordinary participants in the war, including 20,000 Beidu night watchmen and 2,000 Beidu academy instructors.

After the war, there were only dozens of survivors, and in the face of subsequent blood contamination, half of these ten percent died within ten years.

The human circle is a wide net, and the same is true for the extraordinary circle.

After all, the Battle of Red Maple was so tragic that as long as you are a third-level transcendent or above, there must be relatives, friends, and teachers around you who died or were injured as a result of the battle.

At the same time, a very strange thing is that the memories of those who experienced the battle were all affected. Even Li Xunguang could not fully remember the details of the battle.

Everyone only knows that in this Battle of Red Maple, Dazhou did indeed fall into a trap of alien species.

"It's going to rain."

Jiang You looked up at the sky, then looked in front of him.

The girl walked forward with a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in her hand and silently placed it in front of the mausoleum.

[The Tomb of Night Watchman Zhou Mo]

[Zhou Mo, male, was born in May of the Cataclysm of 61, a native of Beidu. He joined the Beidu Night Watch Department in the Cataclysm of 83 and served in the Night Watchman Snow Wolf Troop. He died in the Battle of Red Maple in the Ninety Years of the Cataclysm. 】

Putting down the chrysanthemum, the girl bowed slightly and glanced at the inscription.

"You don't actually need to follow."

Jiang You said.

"It's okay." Lu Yaoyao stood up, "We should indeed present a bouquet of flowers to those ancestors who sacrificed their lives heroically."

All right.

The two continued to move forward.

[Zhao Muqing's tomb, female, born in April of the fifth year of the Cataclysm, a native of Jinhai, joined the Northern Capital Night Watch Division in the third year of the Great Cataclysm, and served as the captain of the Night Watchman Snow Wolf Troops, died in the Battle of Red Maple in the ninth year of the Great Cataclysm



Walk along the way and put flowers along the way.

The weather is not good today, and the rain will probably fall soon.

"distant."

"What's wrong?"

"Beidu Academy went too far this time."

When the words came to his lips, Jiang You changed his words.

He wanted to say that Lu Yaoyao could definitely talk to him about choosing a major, but when he thought about it, he didn't say that.

"I thought it was fine." Lu Yaoyao said softly.

"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I beat Qiao Wuhe. He is a teaching assistant in pollution studies." Jiang You guessed.

Lu Yaoyao stopped talking and put down a chrysanthemum again.

The two of them came to the cemetery yesterday. After they finished offering what they had in their hands, they went to the nearby cemetery to buy more.

I came to the cemetery again this morning.

So far, thousands of chrysanthemums have been donated.

Jiang You didn't originally intend to let Lu Yaoyao follow.

In the end, she couldn't resist her, and the two of them came to the cemetery together.

This cemetery was specially built for the victims of the Red Maple Battle. It is large in area and has neatly arranged tombstones. Even though it was rainy and gloomy, it was not at all eerie.

What Lu Yaoyao said is right.

No matter what happened to Beidu University, the victims of this battle deserve to be paid tribute by future generations.

Snap!

A drop of rain fell from the sky.

Jiang You looked at the sky and then put up his umbrella.

The rain quickly became heavy, and holding an umbrella alone was of no use. The two of them had to take shelter in a small corridor nearby.

A dozen or so people gathered here, all waiting for the rain to subside.

"The previous generation's issues will be settled by the previous generation. Don't listen to those instructors taking out the trash." Jiang You rubbed the girl's small hands.

"I can't tell clearly." Lu Yaoyao pursed her lips.

"Then don't tell me." Jiang You took advantage of the situation and rubbed her head, "Neither Uncle Lu nor Uncle Li, they have never given you any preferential treatment because of their power and position. At most, they only give you some basic information. We don't

I owe it to Beidu University."

Lu Yaoyao nodded and frowned, "Let's not talk about the school for now. When laying flowers, I looked at every tombstone carefully. The youngest night watchman is only twenty-three years old... ugh."

Finally, I sighed, with mixed feelings in my heart.

"There is no other way. The higher-ups require us to go all out, so we can't back down."

Suddenly, an uncle next to him spoke.

Jiang You looked over.

The uncle looked to be in his forties, with half-white hair and a slightly stooped body. He gave off the impression of a man who had traveled a lot. "Young man looks familiar. Did you come here yesterday?"

"Yes, my family members are related to this battle, so I would like to pay homage to others by the way." Jiang You didn't say much. He touched his arms and took out two cigarettes.

"Thanks."

The man was stunned for a moment, and after a moment's hesitation, he took the cigarette in his hand.

Click, light the cigarette.

"Brother, are you alone?" Jiang You said.

"Yes." The man nodded, feeling much relieved after taking a deep breath of cigarette.

"Come here and check on his brother for my wife."

"Substitute wife?"

"She passed away."

"Feel sorry……"

The man smoked a cigarette and shook his head, "Her brother was a night watchman. He was very capable and participated in the Battle of Red Maple."

"The ending was not as expected, I couldn't come back alive."

The man took another puff from the cigarette. In the smoke, he had a bitter look on his face, "Not only that, but also because of some blood contamination, all his family members were affected."

"My wife was seven months pregnant and it was already too late when she was sent to the hospital."

The man's face had an indescribable expression, "This battle has affected too many people."

A cigarette gradually burned out and he stopped talking.

After a while, the rain gradually decreased.

Summer thunderstorms come and go quickly.

The uncle also left the corridor at some point.

Jiang You and Lu Yaoyao looked at each other and continued to bloom.

I don’t know how much time passed, but finally the entire cemetery was completed.

Looking at the time, it's early three in the afternoon.

"Go back?" Jiang You asked.

"good."

The two of them then walked outside.

There were not too many people in the cemetery, there were dozens of people in two days.

There were elderly couples with limited mobility, women with young children, and even more people who were alone.

Looking back at the entrance of the cemetery, this memorial trip has come to an end.

Soon, the two got on the subway and headed towards the school.

Lu Yaoyao couldn't hide his tiredness and leaned back on his seat.

"This matter should be considered over," she said.
