Episode 185 Back to the World 1: Shiroya
In the vast expanse of the LETTER interstellar system, Sector H stands as a forgotten corner, at the very bottom of the interstellar system. Here, endless conflict and chaos pervade the landscape, seemingly becoming the dominant theme of this region.
Many once-rich and prosperous individuals, as well as those whose families have gradually fallen on hard times, have been exiled here for various reasons. These self-important people, still immersed in their past glory, believe themselves to be superior to the native residents of Area H.
As a result, they resorted to all sorts of methods to oppress and humiliate the poor residents, and took pleasure in doing so. This behavior not only further deteriorated the social order in District H, but also made the lives of the poor miserable.
For successive commanders of Zone H, this position was a nightmare. No matter how hard they tried to change the status quo, they were ultimately unable to escape the curse of serving for no more than three months.
The commander with the shortest chest was unfortunately encountered by a bad-tempered fallen nobleman just after taking office. He was hit to death by a brick. It was really sad.
Now, it was Baiya Yolentin's turn to take on this role. However, facing the chaotic situation around him, it seemed that he was also unable to escape.
People cursed at each other and attacked without mercy, each punch and palm strike aimed at the other's death. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere like blooming blood-red flowers, staining the ground crimson.
Seeing such a tragic scene, Baiya Yolentin was extremely anxious and rushed forward to dissuade them. However, just as he was trying to calm the dispute, a cold and hard steel bar suddenly pierced his chest.
Severe pain spread throughout his body in an instant, but the attackers didn't care about his life or death. They even stepped on his body lying on the ground as if they didn't see anything and continued to fight frantically.
As time passed, the sounds of fierce fighting finally subsided.
Perhaps those people felt that there was no fun here anymore and moved to other places to open up a new "battlefield"; or after this desperate fight, both sides were exhausted and could only end up in a lose-lose situation.
At that moment, Baiya Yolentin lay quietly on the muddy and grimy ground, unable to move an inch. He raised his head with difficulty, gazing at the clear blue sky above him, which was no different from the outside world, and a thousand emotions filled his heart.
He could clearly feel his vitality draining away with his blood, and his consciousness began to blur...
"Mr. Jolentin!" A shrill cry suddenly rang out, breaking the dead silence of this desolate land. A soldier in ragged camouflage uniform stumbled and trembled as he rushed towards them from a distance.
His knees hit the hard ground hard, but he seemed to be completely unaware of the pain and just knelt down straight.
Tears flowed down his face covered with dirt and fatigue like a flood. The soldier stared at Bai Shi in front of him with tears in his eyes, his eyes filled with endless sadness and despair.
He stretched out his hands tremblingly, as if he wanted to grab something, but he was afraid of disturbing the other person and never dared to actually touch it.
You have to understand that in this brutal H Zone, being seriously injured is practically a death sentence. There are no well-equipped hospitals or skilled doctors. All the wounded can rely on is their own tenacious will to survive and the meager help of their companions.
At this moment, Bai Shi was already at the end of his strength. He struggled to hold on to his last breath, slowly raised his hand, and with his lips slightly parted, he spoke in an extremely weak voice, "Clothes... wash... the child..."
The soldier immediately held Bai Ya's hand tightly, fearing that if he let go, he would leave him forever.
The soldier nodded desperately, a low sob coming from his throat: "I understand! I understand! Don't worry!"
Hearing the soldier's answer, Bai Ya's tense expression finally relaxed a little. He used up the last of his strength and slightly pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a pale and relieved smile.
Then, his heavy eyelids slowly closed, and he bid farewell to this world completely with a heart full of reluctance.
At this moment, Xiao Minji and the members of the "Drunk and Unwilling" team hurried over. From a distance, they saw the soldier holding the silent white arrow in his arms, walking towards them step by step with extremely determined steps.
Every step he took seemed to step on everyone's heart, making people feel an indescribable sorrow.
Xiao Minji's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was full of shock and disbelief. He stared at the scene in front of him, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
The people around him were also in an extremely heavy mood at this moment. They followed the soldiers silently, and no one made a sound.
The soldier hurriedly searched and finally stopped in front of a relatively clean patch of land. He turned around and looked at Xiao Minji, his tone respectful yet solemn: "Hello, Commander Xiao, could you please dig this patch of land?"
Xiao Minji nodded without hesitation, then quickly summoned his mecha. With a roar of mechanical operation, the massive and imposing mecha appeared before everyone. Xiao Minji expertly controlled the mecha and began vigorously digging at the soil beneath his feet.
At the same time, the soldier gently undid Bai Ya's tattered clothes, and every movement was extremely cautious.
Chao Zhuyi, who was standing aside, saw Bai Shi's skinny and emaciated appearance, and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
This child looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has already shouldered such a heavy responsibility and become a commander capable of standing on his own.
Qi Yi was full of curiosity about the clothes in the soldier's hand, but he knew very well that this was not the right time to ask these questions.
However, the soldier seemed to be able to see through his every thought. With red eyes, he explained eagerly, "This was Mr. Jolentin's last wish before he died! He hoped to have his clothes cleaned and given to those poor children."
At this moment, Xiao Minji sat quietly in the cockpit of the mecha. His originally resolute face now looked extremely heavy, as if his spine was crushed by a heavy burden.
He silently took out an exquisite nanmu coffin from the space box he carried with him and carefully placed it aside.
Then, he gently unfolded a soft quilt and carefully placed it at the bottom of the coffin. His movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person.
After completing all this, Xiao Minji slowly picked up the deceased Bai Shi and gently placed him in the coffin. He then picked up another quilt that was just as white as snow and gently covered Bai Shi with it, allowing him to feel warmth and peace in his final moments.
The solitary tombstone is particularly eye-catching. It stands there quietly, in stark contrast to the desolate surrounding scene.
The tombstone didn't have any words engraved on it, but instead had a lifelike arrow meticulously painted on its surface. The arrow's shaft was straight and slender, as if it could pierce the sky; the tip was incredibly sharp, gleaming with a cold light; and the most special thing about it was the snow-white feather adorning the arrow.
In ancient China, arrows decorated with white feathers were called "white arrows", representing purity and integrity.
The five members of the team, together with Xiao Minji, took out the most beautiful and rare flower seedlings from the space buttons they carried with them.
They carefully planted the seedlings around the tombstones, as if offering the most sincere respect for the departed souls. Each seedling was carefully cared for, and the roots buried in the soil seemed to feel the warmth and care, and began to take root and grow.
When all the planting work was completed, the six people stood in a row in unison and bowed deeply to the tombstone. Their movements were solemn and respectful, expressing their endless grief and admiration for the tomb owner.
......
At the same time, Yan Chu led a team of technicians to fully assist the science and technology department in laying the Skynet system in Area H.
There are too many factors interfering with infrastructure, so it would be better to weave a skynet directly in the air. After all, there are no aerial vehicles in Area H.
Elsewhere, Casse took on the responsibility of maintaining order, leading a well-trained team to stop the constant fighting.
Casse had no patience for trying to mediate or persuade those belligerent and provocative individuals. He decisively took tough measures and arrested all the troublemakers.
Anyone who dared to disobey orders or resist would be executed on the spot. Most of these troublemakers were extremely vicious criminals, exiled from various star regions, and the local population had probably been exploited long ago.
