In the night sky, six meteors streak across the sky silently, shuttling silently under the faint starlight, sometimes hidden in the clouds, sometimes revealed in the eyes of sleepless people.
Leave a mark in the hearts of ordinary people in this apocalyptic catastrophe
This is China, deep in the hinterland of China. The flames of war have long since subsided, leaving only wild fields and dilapidated cities.
Although this is China's territory and is still the hinterland, the six aircraft flying across the sky do not allow these ordinary people to confirm whether they are enemies or friends...
Wuliu looked at the no longer prosperous city under his feet and remained silent. War, this is the power of war. Everything in its path withered. There were not many buildings that once towered into the clouds. The entire huge city was now just below.
There is very little brilliance left. The street lights that once highlighted the prosperity of the entire city at night have been extinguished. The commercial city and shopping streets that were busier at night than during the day have disappeared, and now there are only messy spots of light below.
Wuliu shrank his hands. These hands were also participants in this war, direct participants... full of blood donations...
He has been sitting here for nearly a day and a night, without sleeping. Next to him is Qilin, who is already sleeping soundly leaning on him. They only stopped midway to solve some things that needed to be solved. The rest of the time they spent in the sky, flying.
It took three days and three nights to go there, and only one day and one night to come back.
There were 317 people when we left, but only 217 people came back.
When we left, the ten heavy vessels were majestic, but when we returned, the six shabby ones were bleak in the autumn wind.
No. 56 has no feelings about this battle with no clear outcome. What he wants to do most now is to think about nothing.
Everyone has taken off their armor and put away their swords, including Qilin who is resting on Wu Liu’s shoulder.
Qilin didn't know where she found a military uniform. The white shirt wrapped her petite body, and the black military coat covered her body, covering her short skirt that would inevitably be exposed when she was sitting on the ground.
She seems to wear this kind of military uniform every day except for training. Women's military uniforms are quite good-looking, noble and solemn, yet sexy and elegant. I guess they don't go out of the military camp and don't dress well at all, or they are fighting.
Either the black armor for training, or this "ordinary" dress for leisure. It looks good, but obviously it's not very convenient now.
Moreover, she was still sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall and falling asleep on Wuliu's shoulders. No one was still energetic after this battle. The aircraft were all driven in turns, and Qilin was no exception.
The chairs were all given to the wounded, and Wuliu and Qilin were not the only ones sitting on the ground. There were now soldiers everywhere.
Wuliu stretched out his hand to straighten Qilin's crooked hat. Suddenly, Qilin, who was sleeping, waved her hand unconsciously and pushed Wuliu's arm away. At the same time, she knocked the crooked hat and the black windbreaker covering her body.
It also slipped...
No. 56 smiled slightly, pulled up the windbreaker again, covered her body, and pulled the corners to cover her proud silhouette.
Qilin moved again and adjusted to a comfortable position and continued to sleep soundly.
Wuliu took the trouble to cover her "pajamas" silently
She didn't want to sleep next to him at first. She didn't know why she was angry, but then she fell asleep accidentally. Who knew that she seemed to be sleeping particularly deeply this time?
Everyone who sleeps knows to find a comfortable position to sleep. After all, Wuliu's body is softer and more comfortable than steel. It has warmth. Qilin is almost touching him now.
Wuliu was too lazy to think about anything, and had no intention of sleeping. His mind was always in a blank state. He raised his head and leaned against the cold wall to look at the quiet starry sky through the porthole on the opposite iron wall.
The weather is good, the visibility is very high, the sky is clear, and when you occasionally pass through the clouds, the misty smoke is lingering, making you feel like you are in a fairyland.
If we put aside the disaster caused by the invaders, the starry sky is still very beautiful...
The aircraft flies silently in the sky, crossing mountains, forests, rivers, and ravaged rivers and mountains, flying silently...
Flying towards the sunrise...
When the morning sun rises from the edge of the earth, a group of dust-stained soldiers finally return
Landed on the land of the capital
Six aircraft, covered with scars and peeling paint, slowly landed at the military airport with their backs to the morning glow.
More than a hundred people carried more than fifty stretchers and supported more than fifty figures who could not straighten their backs. Together they held nearly a hundred boxes...
Just like this "unremarkable" team walked towards a group of officials who had already stood here to greet them.
No. 56 stood at the back of the team, silently looking at the back that revealed endless vicissitudes of life.
Qilin had slipped away early when she woke up in his arms, saying that she was going directly to the Mangdang Mountain to join the others and that she would report to General Lingfeng.
What's interesting is that she found that her expression was very cute when she was sleeping in Wuliu's arms, and Wuliu also gave a rare smile...
No. 56 followed the team without saying a word and walked to the group of people who greeted them.
What people didn’t expect was that there were two major generals and one lieutenant general among them!
There are others with the lowest rank of colonel and some with no rank
Obviously they came under Lingfeng's instructions. Wuliu felt a little at ease. At least these people were not here to ask for guilt...
But Wuliu could also see that their low-key greeting or "secret" greeting was because although a high official was present, it was not a formal occasion, and the meaning expressed was also very obscure.
It means that the military has recognized their actions and achievements, but at the same time this is not openly recognized!
"Soldiers, thank you for your hard work! Don't think too much, you will still be a young man when you return! I am here to salute you!" the lieutenant general said cordially and first saluted a military salute.
Then the soldiers who were still able to salute raised their arms and saluted back to those who greeted them.
However, the people who greeted them also saw that they were not in high spirits, and quickly arranged to take them to rest and wash off the dust, and then talk about catching up with the wind.
The lieutenant general greeted every soldier who passed by, and finally walked up to No. 56 who wanted to take the opportunity to fool him...
……………………
"Finally I've come to the place I've been looking for for a long time~" No. 56 stood on the street with open arms, took a deep breath and faced the commercial street with people coming and going.
People passing by looked at Wuliu with strange eyes, standing in the middle of the road with his hands open as if embracing the earth. They almost called the police to report that a lunatic was found in the downtown area and the police came to arrest him...
After learning some things he had been asking about, he walked out of the military camp alone. He did not go to the celebration banquet or go to Ling Feng to receive the award.
Wearing a military uniform, he strode out of the military camp gate arrogantly, walked into a clothing store, bought a random outfit, and then left.
Originally, when the female clerk saw No. 6 Liu entering the store wearing a military uniform, her eyes were filled with stars. No. 6 Liu had not been groomed for a long time and could not be said to be handsome. At most, he had some vicissitudes of life, but who let the military uniform come with a bonus of heroism?
Originally, the clerk wanted to give him a free order, but Wuliu refused "sternly" and pushed away a card with a series of numbers written on it.
Walking in the only prosperous city that was still relatively well-preserved at this time, No. 56 walked through the sea of ​​​​people according to an address he had written down——
