The weather in doomsday is changeable, unlike the dull weather of the past few days. Today, the haze finally dissipated, changing the usual gloom. It is a rare sunny day. The sun breaks out of the dark clouds, and the reflected sunlight shuttles between the branches, weaving into golden threads, which looks exceptionally clear.
But even on such a warm day, the faces of the people in the Order were filled with solemn expressions. At this moment, the combat team laid down their weapons, the guard battalion ended its training, and even the search team did not go out for the first time.
Chen Feng was dressed in black and stood above the crowd. At this moment, his expression was solemn and his eyes were indifferent. Even though he didn't speak, people could still read the heavy aura on him.
Now, those standing in the audience are all the armed forces of Order, a total of two thousand and nineteen people, the youngest is seventeen and the oldest is thirty-five. Everyone's body is at the peak of their health, and if trained properly, it won't take long for them to become a fierce army.
What's more, Chen Feng was not stingy in treating these people, and meat was supplied every day. Especially the combat group, who had followed Chen Feng for a long time, were particularly well-equipped. They all wore protective gear made of insect armor and were equipped with steel knives. Some of them even had guns. They were all in high spirits, which was completely different from the food they ate when they first arrived.
These are the soldiers under Chen Feng.
In the end times, they gathered under Chen Feng and expanded his territory for him, like the sharpest spears.
What is the purpose of summoning everyone here
Just when everyone was confused, a low, long roar suddenly came from the distance, and then a group of soldiers also dressed in black walked over.
They each held a gray jar in their hands, which contained the ashes of those who had died in previous battles.
Quiet and peaceful.
Order was established, and a total of sixty-nine people lost their lives while searching or fighting in the wild.
Death seems normal and common to most people living in the end times.
This kind of ordinariness does not mean that they are hard-hearted and without desire or love. They have blood, flesh, and emotions, but the desolation of the end of the world, the environment, robbers, and food can all constitute the conditions for death.
Ashes.
The urns containing the ashes of sixty-nine people were placed in front of everyone.
Among these ashes are those of their relatives, partners, and comrades who supported them along the way. The surroundings suddenly became heavy. They were all iron-blooded men, but now, ripples appeared in the eyes of some people.
Living on this seemingly abandoned land, they are accustomed to dealing with corpses in a frugal way, either by burying them, burning them, or even by wild burials and sky burials.
Everyone's life is not easy.
The end of the world has taken too many lives. Compared to mourning the dead, the survivors should focus on how to live a good tomorrow.
Chen Feng's solemn face seemed to show no joy or sadness, but his eyes contained a hint of irreconcilable blood and scarlet.
What makes a military unit powerful
A sharp weapon? A tall stature? A successful strategy? Or a skilled commander
These reasons may lead to victory for the troops, but they still cannot represent their strength. To put it another way, if there are no weapons? No strategies? No invincible professionals? How can they fight? How can they win
The most powerful word is not an external force, but affiliation.
Only when each of them regards order as their home, they strive and fight for their home. Even if they know they cannot win, they still charge forward resolutely. Even if they fall down, they will become a mountain or a ridge!
Only then will order become truly powerful!
If one day, the troops under my command can condense such spirit, they will be able to truly fight ten people at once and win a hundred battles!
Tomb of loyal bones.
The empty cemetery did not have any stone tablets. Instead, there were only holes that looked like nests. That was where the urns were buried, and it was also what Chen Feng called the Tomb of Loyal Bones.
In front of the cemetery, there is a huge stone tablet that is five meters high. Even though there are no tombstones for the dead people, their names are engraved on the stone tablet. There are a total of sixty-nine people, none of them are missing and none of them are lost.
The dead are souls.
The dead cannot enter the earth, and the soul cannot return.
For people, burying the dead is a ritual that must be completed.
The Tomb of Loyal Bones is a tomb, but it is also a place of belonging.
Chen Feng's wish, in addition to building a place to bury the soldiers' remains, was to gather the military spirit of his soldiers!
Now that we are just getting started, there are only sixty-nine names on this tablet, but in the future, in the turbulent times of blood and rain and human lives being worthless, the names on this tablet will only increase until it is full.
It has nothing to do with cold-bloodedness or sadness; this is the only way for anyone to become king.
Bones are the road, flesh and blood are the bridge.
By then, this stone tablet condensed from the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people will finally burst out with a horrifying soul and essence.
Belonging, this intangible, invisible existence, is not groundless. With it, a unit has a backbone. With it, the unit can be invincible in every battle. With it, the unit can truly strive for dominance and move forward.
Build a monument with stone and carve words on it.
No matter how much ambition, selfishness or indifference Chen Feng carries in his heart, at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, he is like a god, shining on the world.
Chen Feng calmly looked at the many soldiers who were loyal to him or had selfish motives, and said loudly: "Although the Economic Development Zone has been recovered, there are more powerful and more terrifying monsters outside. I can tell you accurately that in a short time, this city will be hit by a real disaster. At that time, tens of thousands of insects will come from all directions. Compared with that kind of battle, everything the Economic Development Zone encountered is just child's play!
"But don't be afraid. The protective gear made from insect armor will be delivered to you continuously, and the weapons will be gradually strengthened and twice as sharp. Fight well. I promise now that once the war begins, if you kill a bug, 20% of the meat will be yours!"
Chen Feng shouted loudly, inspiring each of these soldiers like hot-blooded beasts, and making them not have the slightest fear or anxiety. It seemed as if the credit could be easily obtained.
Chen Feng looked around, and the terrifying aura made everyone stop cheering. After a moment, he said again
"In addition to personal rewards, from now on, all those who died in battle will be buried on this monument. I swear to heaven that those who died in battle for the Order will have their families provided for by the Order. Parents will be buried, children will be fed, and widows will be cared for. If you are alive, you will live in peace and health, and if you die, you will rest in peace. If you break your oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and even humans and gods will no longer exist!"
Heavy gasps were heard from the crowd. At this moment, the soldiers' eyes turned red and they could no longer control the excitement in their hearts and they roared out one after another.
Living in troubled times, they really don't have any extra ambitions. Just being alive is good enough, even if it is tiring or hard, as long as they are alive, they are willing to do so.
But people are born at the wrong time, and are no better than grass. Even humans kill each other, let alone insects and zombies!
Their homes were destroyed, their families were killed, they had the same resentment and hatred, but here, they have never experienced the slightest humiliation. On the contrary, delicious food and warm shelter, all the demands that they had never dared to imagine in the past, have been realized here.
Life is not as good as grass.
This is the most vivid portrayal of this world.
As time goes by, they become more and more conflicted: to live or to die? For people living in this apocalypse, this is a slightly sad choice.
It's nice here. Although all the systems are so unfamiliar, I feel safe.
In this environment, their broken hearts began to mend, they began to form new families, have new family members, and usher in a new life of their own.
Listening to Chen Feng's vicious and selfless oath, everyone breathed heavily and clenched their fists.
Fallen leaves always return to their roots.
Now, the land beneath their feet is their roots. After experiencing disasters and sufferings, they... are finally home.
