Yu
Chapter 419 Farewell
...
Monday, September 26, 2016, light rain.
It had been three full days since the Yan Pan Institute incident on September 23rd.
In those three days, the news had caused a huge uproar nationwide.
In the past three years, the Imperial Capital Star Warriors University had experienced 17 dimensional space openings of various sizes.
Since most of them were like Black Rock Mountain and Fiery Source Mountain Range, with high-level creatures only at the Gold rank, and coupled with the abundance of talented teachers and students at the Imperial Capital Star Warriors University, and the timely arrival of the Triumph Army and the Wasteland Reclamation Army, the number of casualties each year was minimal.
Furthermore, the authorities and the school were able to block the news in a timely manner, so it did not cause a major social shock.
Why were they able to block the news in a timely manner before? The key was the first stage.
Because the teachers and students of the Imperial Capital Star Warriors University were strong enough to guard the space gate at the first moment, blocking the dimensional star beasts back into their own dimension.
But this time, people's attention was focused on this.
The Yan Pan Institute, with its rampant Platinum-level divine beasts, was different from the small-scale troubles in other dimensional spaces.
Its name was Yan Pan Institute, and the star beasts here started at the Platinum level! The fourth stage for star beasts was called the Platinum level, while the fourth stage for humans was called the Star Ocean stage...
They made the teachers and students of the Imperial Capital Star Warriors University extremely embarrassed, and at the same time, they took away 11 Wasteland Reclamation soldiers and 18 Triumph Army soldiers.
The Giant Troll Flame Master appeared on the small road of the school's south gate, creating cracks in the ground and raising volcanoes. Giant troll couples, wielding huge flame whips, swept everything here, with fire dragons dancing across the sky.
All of this attracted the attention of too many people. There were too many civilians in the surrounding buildings who saw this strange phenomenon.
This time, the authorities did not block the news. Everyone knew that it was impossible to block it.
The authorities went with the flow, fully reporting the news, and correctly guiding public opinion and reporting direction, which brought about the lament of the people across the country.
The Yan Pan Institute, this dimensional space, once again entered people's field of vision and became familiar to them. When people knew what kind of creatures were inside, they couldn't help but gasp, thinking of the soldiers who defended their country and died tragically in foreign lands, and they could only sigh helplessly.
In fact, such casualty events were happening all the time in the land of China, but few were as tragic and widely publicized as this one.
The country led people to the correct way of thinking through positive reports. Three days later, on September 26, a farewell ceremony began.
Not only in the Imperial Capital, but also in many cities across the country, a minute of silence was held.
Not only for the 29 outstanding soldiers who died, but also to commemorate all the heroic soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the land of China, and also to thank those soldiers who were silently paying and dedicating themselves.
However, the Triumph Army and the Wasteland Reclamation Army knew very well why this rescue operation suffered such heavy losses.
Not only because the Yan Pan Institute was too dangerous, but also because the space gate opened 8 kilometers away from the Yan Pan Institute's Sacred Ruins.
The reason why this large-scale war could break out was not only because the creatures inside were fast, had a keen sense of smell, and hunted in endless cycles, but also because the monster density there was already very high.
How could the monster density around the Sacred Ruins be low?
Helplessly, the excellent soldiers could only pay the price for this natural disaster.
Of course, it was also because of this that the soldiers quickly found and destroyed the Sacred Ruins, and some soldiers retreated completely and returned to Earth.
At the same time, the disappearance of Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiaopi, 16th-grade students, also attracted widespread attention.
In fact, due to the special nature of Star Warriors, they had to enter dimensional spaces for training, so it was not uncommon for students to be killed or injured during school, but these two students were caught in the middle of 29 martyrs, making it difficult not to be noticed.
What's more, the siblings were the champions of the 16th grade.
At this time, Jiang Xiao's Weibo had completely exploded. The last Weibo post was a photo of him and Wu Yao meeting in the arena, and below it, all were voices of disbelief.
Candle icons.
Praying gestures.
"Really? No way?"
"Little Poisonous Milk, don't joke around..."
"You're only 17 years old."
"Hero, rest in peace."
"Hero, rest in peace."
The authorities truthfully reported the news of the two national champion students. When the incident occurred, the two and a team preparing to compete in the World Cup happened to be walking on the small road of the school's south gate.
When the dimensional space opened, all the students of the Imperial Capital Star Warriors University, including the siblings, responded at the first moment to guard the dimensional space gate.
Later, due to Jiang Xiao's Silent Voice and Han Jiangxue's powerful output, the two and three senior students preparing to compete in the World Cup entered the Yan Pan Institute together to guard the space gate, further reducing the harm caused by the Yan Pan Institute to the Earth and the school, waiting for rescuers to arrive.
Then, the rescuers came.
Three senior students escaped, and even the younger brother escaped, but Han Jiangxue failed to escape successfully, so the younger brother turned around and rushed into the Yan Pan Institute again. Since then, there has been no news of the siblings.
After people learned about the specific situation, they praised and regretted Jiang Xiao's actions.
This world is like this, people always give more tolerance to the dead.
But even so, there were still a very few people who criticized Jiang Xiao for overestimating his abilities, rushing to his death, being mentally retarded, not weighing the pros and cons, and not using his brain to think.
But these comments were still fewer and were drowned out by the voices of people's grief and mourning.
Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue's actions made them heroes.
They guarded the gate at the first moment and did not retreat or escape. This was a fact, a fact that no haters and trolls could change.
That's why there were so many "Hero, rest in peace" messages below Jiang Xiao's Weibo post.
At this time, in a martyr's cemetery in the Imperial Capital, university students from the Imperial Capital Star Warriors University, lined up, holding umbrellas, and presented flowers to the martyrs who had sacrificed their lives in front of the monument in turn.
The school specially organized this event to commemorate the soldiers who guarded them, and also to mourn the two classmates who died to protect them.
But they were not attending the funeral of the 29 soldiers, and this was not the cemetery of the 29 soldiers. Both the Wasteland Reclamation Army and the Triumph Army had their own internal farewell ceremonies.
This was a large martyr's memorial cemetery. This tall martyr's monument represented every soldier who died heroically.
The sky was gloomy, and the drizzle was getting heavier and heavier. The memorial activity was over, but some people did not leave.
Song Chunxi.
This Song Chunxi, who personally "caught" Han Jiangxue but failed to bring her back, was standing in front of the monument, crying softly.
She was not holding an umbrella, and it was impossible to tell whether the water on her face was rain or tears, but her red eyes and trembling shoulders were enough to show everything.
In front of her to the right was He Xu, who was silently squatting on the ground, staring at the base of the monument in a daze. Song Chunxi caught Han Jiangxue, but what about He Xu? Didn't he also catch Jiang Xiao?
Under the dark gray sky filled with dark clouds, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Suddenly, a black umbrella was held over Song Chunxi's head.
Wu Yao held the umbrella, opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat, unable to make a sound.
Some people were crying in front of the monument, while others were silently grieving.
On the small road outside the south gate of the Imperial Capital Star Warriors University, the torn earth here had long been filled and renovated by Star Warriors using special star techniques, as if nothing had happened.
There was a lonely figure sitting on the side of the road, staring blankly at the direction of the space gate in the center of the road that had long disappeared, praying for a miracle to happen, praying that they would suddenly appear and tell her that it was all a joke.
Xia Yan curled up her body, hugging her knees and sitting by the roadside. The heavy rain wet her chestnut-colored short hair. She didn't know how long it had been, but her distracted eyes gradually lowered.
Her forehead slowly rested on her knees, and her voice was very soft, so soft that it made people feel sorry for her: "I'm already at the Star River stage, I'm qualified to be by your side, I can protect you, come back, please..."
And the siblings who were missed by too many people were now in a Scourge Shadow Realm filled with meteorite piles.
"This can be used." Jiang Xiao held a stainless steel basin that was broken in half, trying to shape it into a bowl, and turned to look at Han Jiangxue.
As early as three days ago, Jiang Xiao accidentally entered here. After his star power was restored, he opened his own Scourge Shadow Realm and summoned Han Jiangxue.
At first, Han Jiangxue was overjoyed to see that Jiang Xiao was fine, but after she breathed a sigh of relief, she found that she was still in a Scourge Shadow Realm.
Although... this Scourge Shadow Realm was more chaotic than the one just now, with meteorites everywhere, it was still vaguely visible that this was still a Scourge Shadow Realm. At least the dim starry sky was exactly the same.
After Jiang Xiao's explanation and speculation, Han Jiangxue also knew that the two had accidentally entered another Star Warrior's Scourge Shadow Realm.
Since Jiang Xiao happened to turn around and see the space gate of this Scourge Shadow Realm closing when he first entered here, the two had not left here for the past three days, waiting for that Star Warrior to open the door so that they could regain their freedom.
But what they didn't expect was that for three whole days, the gate of this Scourge Shadow Realm had never been opened again.
With Jiang Xiao's blessing, the two did not have to worry about food and water. Their condition could remain full, but they just had to endure the feeling of hunger and thirst.
Of course, they weren't that thirsty, after all, Han Jiangxue had "Crushed Ice".
As time passed, the two discovered the differences in this Scourge Shadow Realm.
Through speculation, the owner of this Scourge Shadow Realm should be a woman.
Why?
Because... the two found a lot of clothes and shoes under this pile of meteorites.
It was not difficult to see that these clothes and shoes were neatly stored in wardrobes and shoe cabinets, but the cabinets were all destroyed by meteorites.
It was just like Taobao. Jiang Xiao found many unexpected things under the pile of meteorites, such as the stainless steel basin in his hand that had been deformed and broken in half.
Han Jiangxue walked over, stepping on the uneven meteorites, and took the stainless steel basin that Jiang Xiao had shaped into a large bowl.
She then rotated the crushed ice in her hand, and crackling, fine ice cubes appeared and fell into the steel basin. Then, she turned to look at a group of little firemen who were bouncing around and acting as lighting tools.
Immediately, several Flame Puppets used stones to form a circle, then crawled in and sat in the stone circle.
Han Jiangxue placed the "large bowl" on the stone circle, pressing it on top of the Flame Puppet's head, and said, "This saves you from using my hand as a bowl to hold it and drink."
Jiang Xiao continued to search while saying, "Think about whether you have any star techniques that can relieve hunger? My bait is a flesh and blood body, I can cut meat, but once it's cut off, it should turn into star power and dissipate."
Han Jiangxue glared at Jiang Xiao and said, "Starve."
Jiang Xiao kicked open a large stone and saw the wardrobe that had been smashed to pieces. Jiang Xiao rummaged through it and found a relatively intact windbreaker and jeans from the bottom and threw them to Han Jiangxue.
Han Jiangxue: "Uh..."
Before she could speak, she saw Jiang Xiao drag out a pair of black high heels from the pile of stones.
The heel of one of them had been smashed off. Jiang Xiao simply broke off the heel of the other shoe and threw it to Han Jiangxue: "Go wash up over there and change your clothes. Since you have the conditions, don't wear dirty clothes."
Jiang Xiao then dragged out a wine-red evening dress: "I'll see if there's anything I can wear. This guy should be single, how come there isn't a single piece of men's clothing? Is she forcing me to wear a wom...
