Chapter 410 A heavy price
In a high-rise community with a nice environment, a black SUV parked on the parking lot of the community.
Just as the elderly and aunties who had just finished buying groceries were sitting together, eating melon seeds and chatting, they curiously looked at the unfamiliar license plate and guessed which household it belonged to, when the car door opened.
Soon, two men and a woman walked out.
The uncle and aunt, who had always been fearless, stopped making noise instantly and their expressions quickly became solemn.
This was not because the three men were wearing crisp military uniforms.
It was because one of them was holding an urn carefully.
The three of them didn't stay long. After getting their bearings, they carried the urn with heavy faces and headed towards their destination.
a long time.
When the departing figures of the three people gradually disappeared from sight, the uncle and aunt who were chatting like this regained some vitality.
Everyone sighed almost at the same time. One of the aunts shook her head and said sadly with red eyes:
"Which family's good boy is gone? Poor white-haired people send black-haired people."
Glory comes at a price.
Only these old guys who are retired and have nothing to do all day long can witness the depth of this price every day.
In communities like theirs, many families of warriors live there.
In the past few days, they have witnessed several groups of people coming to mourn with urns in hand.
"Room 602, Building 21, is right here."
Chen Jing came to the door of the destination house, looked at Wei Zhuohua and Zhang Ye for confirmation, and was about to ring the doorbell, but her hand suddenly paused in mid-air.
Yes, his hand that used to kill without hesitation now hesitated in front of an ordinary door.
Wei Zhuohua and Zhang Ye saw it but didn't say anything.
Because even if they were in Chen Jing's position, they were still very hesitant.
Finally, after Chen Jing closed her eyes for a few seconds and opened them again, her eyes finally became firm, and her finger that stopped halfway finally pressed on the doorbell.
Ding dong!
Although the sound of the doorbell was not loud, the three of them couldn't help but suddenly mention it.
Especially when they heard a promise from the door and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Chen Jing and the other two people could not help but panic on their faces, even though the tip of the knife was approaching but they did not blink at all.
"coming!"
The door opened, and a young woman wearing a dinner skirt and holding a spatula in one hand appeared in front of everyone.
Apparently she was making breakfast.
Chen Jing had seen Zhou Chengye's family photos and naturally recognized that the woman in front of him was his wife.
"You are"
Zhou Chengye's wife was first confused when she saw the three strangers, then she was happy when she noticed the military uniforms of the three people, and then she was suddenly shocked, especially when her glance looked at the urn held by Zhang Ye in both hands.
!
A "clang" sound!
The spatula in his hand suddenly fell off. Zhou Chengye's wife covered her lips with both hands, her body trembled suddenly, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
At the same time, the mother-in-law who heard the commotion walked out of the house holding the baby who had just woken up.
"What's wrong."
Soon, she also saw all this.
Chen Jing had prepared a lot of words beforehand. But after seeing the scene before her, all her preparations could only be reduced to two words:
"Feel sorry."
The moment the eighth-level ancient giant tusk elephant fell in despair, the outcome of the entire battlefield was already doomed.
Although most of the barbarians were left behind due to the pursuit of Xia's fresh army, many of them still escaped from the encirclement.
But this is no big deal, because as Chen Jing said, the trend is set.
Even if there are escapees, they will be as terrified as a bereaved dog all day long.
Under the subsequent sweep of the Xia Kingdom, many barbarian tribes with a long history were destroyed in blood and fire.
Of course, there were also those who saw the situation unfavorable, such as Yuan Tuo's tribe who was lucky enough to escape with his life, etc., who made a strong determination to leave the place where they had thrived for thousands of years, and migrated towards an unknown distant place far away from the Xia Kingdom's army.
Among them, I don’t know how many will survive.
But this has nothing to do with Xia Guo or Chen Jing.
The overall situation has been decided, and the sword point has no opponents. The expeditionary force no longer needs to maintain such a large number. People like Chen Jing who passed the special recruitment, but are still students in school, are the first to get the chance to go back.
.
Because they had previously promised to send the ashes of their team member Zhou Chengye home, Chen Jing and Wei Zhuohua, along with Zhang Ye, who was also the first batch to return, took their teammate's ashes back to the mainland to tidy up a little, and then rushed to Zhou Chengye's home as soon as possible.
As for another team member, Guan Feng, he is still lying in the field hospital due to serious injuries and cannot travel with them.
Maybe this is a kind of luck.
Because he doesn't have to experience the sadness of Chen Jing and the others at this time.
None of them care about their own death.
But for others, for the comrades fighting side by side, and even for the families behind them, it is far from being so peaceful.
When the three people declined Zhou Chengye's family's request to stay and walked out of his home, their hearts were still heavy.
Chen Jing sighed deeply, looked at the two of them and said, "If you want this kind of thing to never happen again, just work hard to improve yourself. The more powerful you are, the more powerful your protection will be."
He already understood this truth when he was alone for more than ten years.
But now it seems it's still not enough.
This battle has caused too many acquaintances to move away from him.
Not only are Zhou Chengye and Cheng Zhan the closest ones, there are also many senior brothers and sisters from Jiangnan Military Academy.
Xue Han, who was galloping on a horse and promised to go back for a big drink, had disappeared. The last person who saw him only saw him laughing boldly and rushing into the barbarian phalanx, and never came out again.
From the beginning to the end, we have never seen that Li Ziyi, who had played the role of a pig and eaten the tiger during the North-South competition in the school selection, wanted to give himself a surprise, but ended up kicking the iron plate with his double swords and died after being told by others.
There were also many unknown students from the Jiangnan Military Academy whom I had met and greeted, who exhausted all their strength and fell in a foreign land.
If you don't want to become one of them, if you want to protect more people from becoming one of them, you need strength, more strength.
Listening to Chen Jing's heartfelt words, Wei Zhuohua looked at his broad shoulders blankly, feeling that the other man's shoulders were bearing a much heavier pressure than he imagined.
She turned her eyes slightly, approached him with a slight step, pressed her slender shoulders against his and said:
"After that, there will be me."
Chen Jing turned around and saw a pair of gentle but firm beautiful eyes looking straight at herself.
For a moment, they looked at each other in silence.
Until a weak voice came from the other side.
"Well, add me in."
Chen Jing and Wei Zhuohua woke up instantly, smiled in unison, and then turned to look at the "culprit".
