Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country!

Chapter 50 50· “Those who travel far away are homesick, but those who stay behind are hopeful.”

"If you can't stop me, don't stop me. Isn't there a popular saying among young people nowadays? Respect the fate of others. This is the path I have chosen. I will not regret it." Zhuang Zhihong smiled gently.

"Then perhaps, today may be the last time we see each other, Lao Zhuang."

Yu Pansheng raised his head again and looked at Zhuang Zhihong. His eyes moved very slowly, as if he wanted to completely record the other person's appearance in his heart.

"During the war so many years ago, for us, during that period, any day was not the "possible last day". Didn't we always fight with the belief that "today is the last day of our lives"? "

"Why are you so emotionally sensitive now? At that time, would you have cried all day long? Like one of my boys?"

"Besides, in the end, didn't we live well into the peaceful era and live until now?"

"So, don't worry, my Deputy Commander Yu. In December, wait for this city to change from the most dangerous place to the safest place; wait for the ice to melt and the sun to appear again; wait for you to return from a foreign country. When I was in my hometown——

I will take everyone stationed here to welcome you back in the city! "

Zhuang Zhihong said in a free and easy tone, with a little casualness.

"Okay, I hope you can do it." Yu Pansheng knew that he no longer needed to persuade, and there was no need to persuade him anymore. He could only nod, and after thinking about it, he asked again:

"Zhuang Zhihong, do you have any other wishes about the outside world? You can put them forward and I will do my best to help you fulfill them."

"Don't tell me, I really have a wish. If you are willing to help me, that would be great!" Zhuang Zhihong's eyes lit up when he heard this and he nodded seriously.

"You said, I will help if I can." Yu Pansheng was actually a little happy.

"I want you to call me Shengdad, Deputy Commander Yu." Zhuang Zhihong forced himself to look serious and said.

"..."

"Zhuang Zhihong! Get the hell out of here! Now! Now! Now! Get out!"

Yu Pansheng laughed out of anger again. After opening his mouth for a long time, he didn't know what to say, so he rolled his eyes and looked at the guy in front of him who was digging his nose and face. He pointed at the ajar door and issued an order to expel the guest without any courtesy. .

"Didn't you just say that you would definitely help if you could? Why did you say that?" Zhuang Zhihong was a little dissatisfied.

How come words don't count?

"Go away or not? If not, I'll call for help."

It seemed that Yu Pansheng was no longer planning to talk to Zhuang Zhihong, and he even covered the call bell on the table with his hand.

You have the momentum to immediately press down and directly deal with Zhuang Zhihong.

"Go away, go away, I'm going to get out, don't call anyone, we can't afford to lose this person."

Zhuang Zhihong said a little funny. He turned around, held his head in his hands, and walked step by step towards the sunshine outside the house.

He walked to the door.

"Zhuang Zhihong." Yu Pansheng, who was behind him, suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

Under the sun, Zhuang Zhihong turned his head and looked at his comrades who had fought side by side to build and witness the growth of Dongguo.

"Brother Ye Sheng is almost done," he said.

"Brother Zhuang, bring your soldiers and come back alive, and we will drink together again in December." He added.

Yu Pansheng crossed his fingers in front of him and looked directly into Zhuang Zhihong's eyes, his expression serious and sincere.

"Okay! Little brother Yu! Hahaha——"

Zhuang Zhihong responded loudly and even laughed at the door.

The smile is bright, and the white teeth shine like pearls in the bright sunshine.

They both laughed.

In a trance, the two people seemed to see each other from more than 20 years ago, young and arrogant, holding a gun and pointing into the distance.

It doesn't matter if we are apart, we will meet again when we plant our flag on the enemy's base camp.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yu, if I die -" Zhuang Zhihong prolonged his tone and said loudly outside the door.

"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost." He said.

Yu Pansheng, who thought it was a kind word or promise, made his old comrade laugh angrily for the third time.

"Okay, okay."

He nodded helplessly, gritted his teeth and said:

"Brother Zhuang! I'm also afraid of ghosts! So you'd better not die!"

"Are you afraid of ghosts? Yu Pansheng! Do you want to listen to what you are saying? When we rushed up, who killed the most?

After reading the letter of apology, who went up to receive the medal? Damn it, it was me who charged, and it was you who killed me!

I only wrote a damn self-reflection letter! Damn it’s not worth it!

I don’t even know how you had the nerve to mention this just now! If it wasn't for your status, I would have scolded you! "

Zhuang Zhihong outside the door heard Yu Pansheng's words and cursed.

"It's different. One is a devil and the other is a ghost. Also, don't say bad words - you said it yourself. You are not allowed to refute." Yu Pansheng answered the other party with the other party's answer.

"you--"

Zhuang Zhihong glanced at Yu Pansheng one last time, shook his head, and said no more.

After smiling gently, he turned around and walked completely towards the place where the sun was brightest.

"Don't die!"

Zhuang Zhihong didn't look back, he raised his right hand and waved it slowly.

bid farewell.

"Don't die."

Yu Pansheng murmured softly.

…

October 19, 2024, 14:22 pm - there is still one hour and eight minutes before Zhonghe City officially starts the city-wide relocation.

The radio at the Zhonghe Military Camp came out with a harsh noise, which quickly subsided.

But all the soldiers who were resting in place have already stood up.

During this hour or so, most of them had already carried extremely large and heavy backpacks on their backs, and also carried various weapons in their hands.

But some people have nothing on them.

"Everyone, stand at attention! Look to the left!" said a familiar voice on the radio.

All the military formations were immediately aligned and gathered together, waiting for instructions.

"For the following registration list, please come out and stand in the open space on the right! You will break away from the original organization and reorganize the Zhonghe left-behind army! Follow the command of the new army commander He Guoyu!"

"One army, one battalion, one company, seven companies...three armies, one battalion, five companies, six companies, seventeen companies..."

As the names appeared one by one in the sound of the broadcast, in the large group gathered in the square, those people who were not carrying anything gradually broke away from the group and stood in the open space of the square nearby, forming a new group. Group - Zhonghe Remaining Army.

They don't need to carry anything because they don't need to leave here for the time being.

Their number was relatively small, only a few thousand in total, occupying only a small space in this huge military exercise square.

Together with the remaining troops from another base in Zhonghe, they will guard the entire city of Zhonghe during the ice disaster.

When the list of names was read over the radio, there were no more footsteps in the square, and everyone took their new positions——

"All the original three armies who have not come out are present! Turn right! All present and remaining troops are present! Turn left!"

Under such an order, the original three armies and the left-behind army formed a tendency to look at each other.

"Salute!" came the powerful shout from the radio!

"Shua——"

Amidst the sound of clothes rubbing together in an almost absolutely neat manner, the soldiers on both sides looking at each other raised their right hands high.

As Yu Pansheng said, this is very likely to be the last time the two people will see each other.

Those who travel far salute those who stay behind, for they take on the most dangerous jobs.

Those who stayed behind saluted the travelers, because they were about to escort their relatives and friends to a safe place.

"The remaining troops in Zhonghe will stay put! All three armies in Zhonghe will immediately leave the square in order and prepare to leave for Zhonghe City to escort and assist all citizens to the shelter!"

When this order was given, in the huge military formation, the teams closest to the exit of the square took the lead and began to trot out in an orderly manner following a fixed path.

On the avenue near the exit of the square, rows of military vehicles were already waiting for everyone.

Whenever the soldiers of these troops came to the gate, they would stop briefly and salute again before leaving the gate completely.

It was a spontaneous tribute.

The left-behind soldiers standing by the gate chose to maintain a saluting posture throughout the process, watching their comrades leave the square one by one, board military vehicles, and head to the city.

This is spontaneous gratitude.

They will part ways here.

This separation may last forever.

But they are looking forward to getting together.

This time, the unknown distance may be safe, but the familiar hometown is dangerous.

Those who stayed behind and those who traveled far took diverging paths, and the trajectory of their lives changed.

But they are no different and have the same end point.
