Seeing this tear, Tianyang had roughly guessed the result. As someone who had lost a loved one before, he understood Xun's feelings very well.
For children, as long as their parents are still alive, even if they are old and have lost all their teeth, as long as they are still there, they are still children.
But when the parents leave, the children become adults overnight.
Growing up silently and facing the ups and downs of this world alone is not an easy task for anyone.
Even when the sun is out, I still feel a dull pain when I occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and think of my mother.
The boy took a deep breath and walked over. Without saying a word, he just gently hugged the girl and used his warmth to comfort her.
After a moment, suppressed crying echoed softly in the corridor.
After a long time, the girl stopped crying, but her eyes were red and she was still sobbing from time to time.
Tianyang sat with her in the corridor without saying anything. At this moment, companionship is the best comfort.
"My father... is a very ordinary man. He works hard every day and earns our family three meals a day with his blood and sweat..."
"As far as I can remember, I rarely saw him. He always left when I was still asleep and came back when I was sound asleep."
"Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I hear him groaning softly, but when I see him during the day, all he leaves us with is a smile."
"He never showed us his painful side..."
Xun narrated quietly.
Tianyang listened quietly.
Listening to the girl's words, Tianyang thought of his mother.
It turns out that all parents are the same.
At some point, Xun stopped and stared blankly at the ground beneath his feet, his eyes empty and out of focus.
Until Tianyang's voice sounded: "Have you told Xiaojie?"
The girl raised her head and smiled sadly: "I dare not tell him."
Tianyang looked at her: "Should I tell him?"
Xun shook her head: "No, I'll go. But not now, Xiaojie is already asleep. I want him to have a good sleep, maybe in the future, there won't be such a peaceful night again."
Tianyang grabbed the girl's hand and said, "No matter what, no matter when, you must remember that you still have a friend like me in this fortress!"
Xun looked into the boy's pure and clear eyes for a while, then nodded gently.
"Thank you."
... ...
The next day, Tianyang drove and accompanied Xun back to the apartment.
When Xiaojie learned that his father had passed away, he screamed uncontrollably. Xun hugged him desperately, and finally, the boy burst into tears in his sister's arms.
Originally, Xun's father was just a commoner and was not eligible to be buried in the fortress cemetery. But he had a daughter of the Glorious class, so after his body was cremated, his ashes were sent to the cemetery for comfort.
Tianyang attended this simple funeral and learned from Luo Shan that Xun's father's condition had been stable, but yesterday, he suddenly relapsed and then worsened in a very short time.
After listening to the doctor's words, Tianyang felt that life was so impermanent.
Then, Xun got a week's vacation. On the second day of the funeral, Tian Yang had just sent a message to the girl when he received a text message from Han Shu, informing him to gather at the team barracks.
Tianyang did not dare to delay, picked up his equipment, put on his uniform, and rushed to the Night Walker
Headquarters.
When we arrived at the team barracks, everyone except Han Shu had already arrived.
Not keeping everyone waiting too long, after a while, Han Shu walked in yawning.
“We’re all here.”
Han Shu sat down in his seat, took out a cigarette out of habit, lit it and said, "Just two things."
"First, there is irrefutable evidence that Black Star Castle secretly conducted forbidden experiments. Therefore, the Golden Court has officially commissioned us to fight against it, and will allocate a batch of support materials to us later. In addition, we have been granted the right to hang the 'Golden Flag'."
"Captain, what is the so-called golden flag?" Tianyang raised his hand and asked.
Han Shu blew out a smoke ring and laughed dryly, "That's a good thing. During the period when the golden flag is hoisted, no fortress may attack the party hoisting the golden flag. Otherwise, it will be regarded as an enemy of the Golden Council."
"If we are not careful, we will be sanctioned by several super fortresses. Therefore, we have hoisted the golden flag and basically have no worries. We just need to go all out and defeat Black Star Fortress."
Han Shu waved his hand and blew away the smoke rings. He then said, "The second thing, I think you have all guessed it. That's right, we are going to fight again!"
No one, including Tianyang, was surprised about going to war.
When I returned to the city a few days ago, I saw a large amount of supplies and manpower heading to Black Star Fort, and Han Shu also said that the crusade had entered the second stage.
The military would naturally not leave these night walkers idle.
"Right now, the main force of our fortress is competing with Black Star Fort on the front battlefield. According to Four Eyes, we must strive to make a deep breakthrough on the front battlefield and strike directly at the enemy without giving Black Star Fort a chance to breathe."
"But the enemy is not a pushover. In some battle zones, Black Star Fort has arranged for Ascendants to garrison. These Ascendants are like nails stuck in the battlefield, making it difficult for the main force of our fortress to pass quickly, which has caused many strategic mistakes."
Han Shu dusted off the cigarette ash and said in a deep voice: "So we received an order that we must be responsible for these tough guys. Our mission is to knock down these roadblocks and ensure that our main force can go to the designated war zone unimpeded!"
Cangdu stood up and asked, "Captain, when do we set off?"
"In an hour!"
Han Shu patted his butt and stood up: "So, what are you waiting for, hurry to the warehouse to collect the supplies."
An hour later, the Raven Squad had left the fortress, and two Falcon chariots were driving across the wilderness.
There were no companions for this mission, and after completing the mission, the Raven Squad would not return to the city. Instead, they would stay on standby and accept new assignments until the crusade was over!
Still sitting in the shooting cabin, Tianyang looked around. Although there were no companions, teams of night walkers could be seen everywhere in the wilderness.
As expected, it was not only the Raven Squad that received the order to attack, other teams also had their own appointments.
Taking out the communicator, Tianyang looked at the mission information sent by the military not long ago, which included intelligence on the main opponent of this mission.
Their main opponent in this mission is a team under the Gluttony Legion led by the 'Hungry Ghost General' of Black Star Fort.
The team was led by a lieutenant named Huang Qi.
The Black Star Fort lieutenant on the communicator was a burly man, about the same size as Han Shu. His face, neck, and even the parts of his body exposed to the air were covered with crisscrossing scars.
The man in the picture has a hideous face.
There was a smile on his face, which looked cold and cruel.
He was wearing dark black gloves and a dark red uniform, and looked like he was covered in blood. The bloody smell almost penetrated the screen and almost got into Tianyang's nose.
The boy swiped the screen and looked at another person.
This is a woman.
She has a pretty face, deep red eyes, and a charming expression. She is the type that can make your heart beat faster at first sight.
She was not wearing a uniform, but a very thin soft armor. The soft armor was colorful and almost stuck to her body like skin, outlining a fascinating curve.
On the soft armor, a pattern of a poisonous spider was outlined with clear lines. The terrifying poisonous spider and the charming woman were a very strange combination.
According to the information, this woman has no name, only a code name called "Black Widow".
Next up was a young man.
The man was very handsome, with a slightly neutral appearance, but unfortunately he wore a metal mask on the left side of his face. The mask contained a composite electronic eye, several obvious screws, and some strange patterns.
This greatly reduces the man's handsomeness.
The man has a well-proportioned figure, and there are many signs of modification on his body. Those sophisticated machines make people wonder how many parts of him still retain human characteristics
This is the second lieutenant of Black Star Fort named Ning Ye.
There were three or five other people, all with different appearances, and their ranks ranged from second lieutenant to non-commissioned officer.
Intelligence showed that this gluttonous team was very cunning. They hid in a mountainous area and were always elusive. Several times when the army of the Skyfort passed through the mountainous area, they were attacked by them and lost a lot of personnel and supplies.
The people with the highest ranks in this team are their captain and the woman known as the Black Widow. Both of them are level 4 players.
The others are at levels 3 to 2. Normally, the combat power of such a team is very limited.
If they were on the front battlefield, they wouldn't be able to hold out for too long, not to mention causing losses to the army. But if they were in the mountains and were familiar with the environment, it would really be a headache.
Moreover, the main force of the fortress had combat missions and could not stay for such a small team. Therefore, this was also the reason why the military sent the Night Walkers to deal with them.
Use Ascenders to fight Ascenders, and use squads to fight squads, so as to ensure that the main force will not be harassed.
Putting down the communicator, Tianyang touched the eye mask on his face. If he didn't have to worry about accidentally hurting his teammates, he could just sow the cultivated virus spores on any member of the enemy team. Then he would just have to wait for the virus to break out and spread, and he could wipe out the team without using a single soldier.
such a pity
The young man was a little worried. The Plague Evil Eye was too powerful and could easily injure friendly forces. He also didn't know when it would really come in handy.
Devil's Valley.
A pair of heavy military boots stepped on a brown rock. The owner of the military boots was wearing a dark red uniform. In the sunlight, this bloody figure exuded a strong smell of blood, which made several people nearby unconsciously stand a little further away.
Huang Qi looked at the deserted mountain road below. There were some traces of explosions on the road, which were left by a sneak attack on an enemy supply team a few days ago.
"It's been several days since anyone has been sent up to me to kill," the Black Star Fort lieutenant said with a lonely look on his face, "Bugs from the Sky Fort, please bring more. Otherwise, I'll be bored to death..."
