1140: Martyrs Cemetery? (1 more)

Hexidi was off today. It was early morning, and the melodious bell rang in her ear when she went downstairs.

181818

The bell rang seven times, and the pedestrians on the street gradually increased.

Twelve days have passed since the tide of virtual ghosts, Black Tortoise has returned to calm, and the city residents have resumed the rhythm of Life.

Most of the city residents go out at seven o’clock, go to the bun shop to buy buns, or buy baked sweet potatoes for breakfast, then buy a newspaper to read on the road, and then take a carriage to work in the outer city-workshop.

The same is true for Hexidi. Although he is not going to work today, he still has a habit.

She went to buy two big meat buns first, bite them down and leave the fragrance in the mouth.

“You don’t get tired of eating.” Hexidi exclaimed.

Since she left Yaotian, her life has become much better, and she can live her life well without fear of being discovered by the people in Black Tortoise.

Tender~~~

After a few bites of a big meat bun, Hexidi walked to the kiosk while biting another meat bun.

Five minutes later, she walked out of the crowd with the newly published newspaper today, and walked towards the horse station platform while watching.

She wanted to go to the business district of the Outland and pay her respects to the traces left by the city defense army after resisting the tide of virtual ghosts.

Hexidi opened the newspaper and took a step forward, his attention was attracted by the content of the newspaper.

Today’s newspapers are different from previous newspapers. Most of the two pages are written on all four sides, and the rest are accompanied by pictures.

“This is… Hexidi’s fingers trembled, her pupils dilated.

She looked at the pictures and recognized that the contents were Shanhaiguan and the city wall, in addition to the overwhelming ghosts.



Remember “History, the body of steel behind a beautiful life.” This is the headline of today’s newspaper.

Hexidi lowered his head and read the newspaper from the beginning.

At the beginning of the newspaper, the relationship between the blood moon and the virtual ghost was introduced in a few words, and the city lord’s preparation for the tide of virtual ghosts was mentioned.

It also mentioned underground air-raid shelters and the storage of various materials.

Hexidi’s heart trembled, and he exclaimed in a low voice: “It turns out that behind our safe survival, so many things have happened…

“Sell, sell~~~

A rapid rattle rang, and the carriage to the business district stopped at the platform, ready to leave.

“The carriage is coming.” Hexidi recovered, planning to get on the carriage and continue reading the newspaper.

It takes three hours to drive from the inner city to the outer city business district, and the newspapers can just pass the time.

Hexidi stuffed the Black Tortoise coin into the coin box, bent over into the carriage, and sat down by the window.

The carriage was half full, and everyone was holding newspapers in their hands and reading them with serious expressions.

The carriage was very quiet today. Everyone remained silent, except for the sound of the newspaper flipping.

Soon after, the carriage moved and galloped along the inner city main road.

Hexidi continued to read the newspaper, the blood moon came, and a wave of virtual ghosts broke out. Thousands of virtual ghosts appeared, attacking Black Tortoise from all directions.

The content of the newspaper mainly describes the situation of Shanhaiguan customs facing the wave of virtual ghosts, and there are also several colorful pictures.

In order to print these colorful photos, the printing workshop wasted a lot of effort and tried for three or four days, but the results were not satisfactory.

In the end, Yi Liyi went to find Liuli Beast, made several templates based on the photos Wanbai took during the Xugui tide, and printed and colored them in batches.

The process is complicated, so it took another five days for the printing workshop to print enough newspapers, which were successfully sold today.

Looking at the colorful photos, Hexidi felt her chest tightness inexplicably, and she felt a sense of breathlessness.

Photos are more empathetic than words, especially those bloody photos that make people breathe more quickly.

The photos are accompanied by text descriptions, as if they have drawn people to the battlefield of the past, and witnessed the scene of the ghost tide attacking Black Tortoise.

In the carriage, some passengers had red eyes and their breathing became rapid.

“It turns out that so many things happened in Shanhaiguan when we were hiding underground.”

The woman sitting in the corner of the carriage sobbed.

The young man in his early twenties lowered his head in shame: “Yes, I don’t know if I don’t read the newspaper. I still have dissatisfaction in the air-raid shelter. I am so ignorant…

“Me too, I also complained that the lord of the city made a fuss, and now it seems that it is all for our good.

“I have decided, I will join the soldier tomorrow!!


In the carriage, the passengers expressed their feelings, some were ashamed, and some were moved.

Hexidi bit her lower lip and read the rest of the newspaper.

“The wave of virtual ghosts lasted for four days, and Shanhaiguan faced a total of 32 waves of virtual ghosts…”

On the first “day, the city defense army lost a hundred and twenty-three! On the second day, the city defense army lost…

………For flowers………

“A total of 3,928 casualties were caused by the city defense forces in this wave of ghosts, 701 were severely killed, 432 were seriously injured, and 212 were disabled.

Hexidi’s fingers are white, the shocking photos in the newspaper, and the string of numbers are stimulating her nerves.

The carriage remained silent, but the image of the city defense army grew taller in their hearts.

“Uuuu…in the carriage, the old man with a gray beard started to cry.

Hexidi was stunned, and quickly asked concerned: “Old man, what’s the matter with you?”

The old man said with teary eyes: “My son, he fell on the wall, but I am proud of him!

Hexidi felt even more uncomfortable, and she opened her mouth and didn’t know what to say.

……..0

“Old man, your son is a hero!” the others praised.

“No.

The old man shook his head vigorously with a hoarse but serious voice: “It’s not just my son, all the city defense forces are heroes. Only with them can we have a stable life.

“Yes, all city defense forces are heroes.” Everyone nodded vigorously.

Hexidi asked curiously, “Old man, are you going to work?”

“No, I’ll go see my son.” The old man shook his head, holding a bunch of flowers in his arms.

“How many sons do you have?” Hexidi asked in surprise.

“One. Old man” eyes dimmed.

Hexidi was stunned, her voice trembling slightly: “Who will take care of you then?”

His only son fell in Shanhaiguan. The old man was already quite young.

“Go to the nursing home, the clerk personally told me, there will take care of me until I enter the soil.”

The old man sighed and said, “My Lord City Lord is really a good man.

“So it was… Hexidi suddenly.

The old man sighed again: “There is also a pension, which is enough for me.”

“No, you only have one son, and he died. Hexidi didn’t finish speaking, and felt impolite.

She worded: “Then you just said to see your son, who did you see?”

The old man gestured to the bouquet in his hand and explained: “The Lord of the City has built a cemetery for the martyrs in the outer city. I will send flowers to my son.”

“Martyrs Cemetery?” Hexidi whispered softly.
