This time, when the bright light of the flash bomb dissipated, the enemies in the darkness revealed their figures and launched an attack. Although Xiao Yi's team successfully repelled the enemy with the power of the psychics and firm belief, the joy of victory could not cover up the heaviness in their hearts.

After the battle, Xiao Yi found three close teammates lying in a pool of blood. They would never stand up again and fight alongside their companions. This discovery plunged everyone into deep sorrow. They sat around the bodies of the three teammates in silence, with only the breeze blowing gently, carrying away a trace of sadness.

Xiao Yi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes slightly red. He knew that in the apocalypse, every battle could be a life-or-death battle, but the pain of losing his teammates was still hard for him to accept. He recalled the time he spent with these three teammates, their smiles, their bravery, their tacit understanding, as if it was just yesterday, but it has become an eternal memory.

"They sacrificed their lives to protect us," one team member whispered, his voice filled with grief and respect.

"Yes, they are our heroes." Xiao Yi raised his head, his voice firm and powerful, "We must remember their names and their contributions. For them, we must work harder to live and fight for our future."

The team members nodded one after another, their eyes gleaming with determination. They knew that although they had lost three comrades, they could not indulge in grief, but must turn their grief into strength and move forward.

In the days that followed, Xiao Yi and his teammates held a simple funeral for the three fallen teammates. They prayed silently, hoping that these brave warriors would rest in peace in the other world. At the same time, they also vowed to fight harder for their teammates' sacrifices and to work tirelessly to protect their home in this apocalyptic world.

In the remote desert, a lone military base stands, like a tenacious seed, rooted in this barren land. The sun scorches the ground, and every grain of sand exudes a scorching heat. Yet, amidst this silence and heat, a sudden tragedy shatters the tranquility.

It was early one morning, just as the sky was turning pale, when the base's alarm suddenly blared, sharp and piercing. Xiao Yi, the young base commander, was instantly awakened. He quickly donned his uniform and rushed to the command room. There, he learned heartbreaking news—three brave soldiers had tragically died in the line of duty.

Grief gripped everyone's heart, but Xiao Yi knew this was not the time to wallow in sorrow. He quickly organized his men and personally led the team to the scene, carefully collecting the three bodies. Under the scorching desert sun, they silently completed this solemn task before returning to base at full speed.

Along the way, the carriage was filled with a heavy atmosphere, but no one spoke, and everyone was immersed in deep sorrow. Xiao Yi clenched his fists, his heart filled with mourning for his comrades and determination for the future. He knew that as the person in charge of the base, he had to lead everyone out of this haze.

Upon returning to the base, Xiao Yi immediately summoned everyone and announced the sad news. His words were filled with grief and determination, as he assured everyone that although they had lost three brave soldiers, their spirits would be forever remembered. He then announced that a grand funeral would be held for the three martyrs and a large pension would be paid to their families.

This decision caused a huge response in the base. In the past years, there has never been such generous treatment given to the fallen soldiers and their families. But Xiao Yi firmly believed that this was the best tribute to the heroes and an encouragement and inspiration to all soldiers.

On the day of the funeral, the entire base was immersed in solemnity and grief. The remains of the three martyrs were solemnly placed in the center of the mourning hall, surrounded by flowers and elegiac couplets. All personnel at the base, dressed in military uniform, stood solemnly on both sides of the mourning hall, observing a moment of silence for their comrade.

At the funeral, Xiao Yi delivered a deeply moving speech. He reviewed the heroic deeds and selfless dedication of the three martyrs, expressing his deep condolences and high respect for them. At the same time, he called on all personnel to carry on the martyrs' legacy and continue to fight for the security of the country and the people.

After the funeral, Xiao Yi personally delivered the pension to the martyrs' families. He held the families' hands tightly, comforting them not to be overly sad and to believe that the country and the people will always remember the efforts and sacrifices of these heroes.

After this incident, Xiao Yi's prestige within the base soared. He demonstrated his responsibility and commitment as a leader through his actions, and made all the soldiers feel the warmth and care of the organization. Since then, the base's cohesion and combat effectiveness have been greatly improved, becoming a more united and courageous team.
