"Hello everyone, today is the first anniversary of 'Victory Day for Mankind'."

"One year ago today, the world's strongest creature, [Ultimate], was summoned under the plan of the extremist organization, the Light God Society."

"Our guardians, the Night Stars, sacrificed their flesh and blood, their tens of thousands of lives, to bring us the peaceful life we ​​enjoy today."

"But the Ultimate One will not truly perish, and the Five Calamities will one day reappear in the world, so we cannot let our guard down."

"Okay, next we will be broadcasting a lecture on the theme of 'Opposing War and Advocating Peace'."

"Please welcome Zhang San to give our speech..."

"..."

"La la, la~ la la, la~"

Listening to the news coming from the living room TV, Coco hummed a song while washing the dishes in the kitchen, in a very good mood.

After putting the last plate down, Coco washed her hands at the tap and then came out of the kitchen, shaking off the water.

In the living room, Liu An was holding a Stitch doll that was about the same size as her, tossing it around and catching it again, grinning foolishly, looking like she was having a great time.

Coco checked the time on her phone and saw that it was getting late, so she picked up the potted plants and extra-large lunch boxes that had been prepared on the coffee table.

"Sister Liu An, I'm going to sweep the tombs. I'll be back soon. You stay home and take care of yourself."

"Hey!"

Liu An grinned foolishly and threw the Shi Liqi doll at Coco. Caught off guard, the doll was hit squarely in the face and fell headfirst onto the sofa.

"Sister Liu An!"

Coco got up angrily, pounced on Liu An, and started tickling him, making him giggle.

Coco didn't let go of the other person's hand until she saw that they were tired of laughing.

"Okay, I'm really leaving now, bye-bye."

Coco affectionately nuzzled Liu An's cheek, then carried a large pile of things out the door.

She got into the car she had bought outright, put her things in the trunk, and drove away.

As one of the few people Coco had participated in the [Ultimate] battle and survived, the Night Stars organization directly allocated her a small villa in City A, Beijing.

Originally, it was a school district property, but Coco thought that she didn't even have a boyfriend, so she took the initiative to ask to move to a villa that was more comfortable to live in.

Besides the fact that she lives comfortably, the main reason is that Coco's current house is very close to the Martyrs' Cemetery.

Less than half an hour's drive later, Coco arrived at the martyrs' cemetery, which was packed with people.

Because it is 'Victory Day for Mankind', countless people come to pay their respects.

Before you've even fully entered the martyrs' cemetery, you're surrounded by a constant stream of people.

Coco skillfully parked the car in the parking lot, took the things out of the trunk, and walked towards the entrance of the Martyrs' Memorial Park.

After she revealed that she had participated in that battle, everyone respectfully made way for Coco so that she could enter smoothly.

Stepping through the gate, rows of exquisitely carved tombstones come into view.

Each tombstone was covered with offerings and flowers, and many family members were sweeping the graves, weeping uncontrollably.

Coco continued forward and came to several tombstones that were located in the center and looked even larger.

Those were all important casualties in that war.

Han Xiaoxiao, Gu Gongming...

There were other important victims.

Lei Yong, Brown, Yan Wusheng...

Bouquets of flowers were placed in front of these tombstones, along with offerings.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

After doing all this, Coco turned her gaze to a particularly unique tombstone.

There, a giant wolf, half of its body burned off and looking extremely terrifying and ferocious, was curled up.

Beside it is Yixue's tombstone.

Coco sighed softly, laboriously lifted the large lunchbox, and slowly moved it to the giant wolf.

Ji Xue cautiously opened her eyes and looked around. When she saw that it was Coco, who often brought her food, she lowered her guard.

"Okay, let's eat."

Coco opened the lunchbox, which was full of various kinds of fresh meat.

Ji Xue sat up slightly, smelled it, but didn't eat it. Instead, she glanced at Cocoa.

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Coco picked up another bag of offerings and flowers and, under Ji Xue's watchful gaze, placed it in front of Yi Xue's tombstone.

And wipe the tombstone clean with water.

After watching the other person finish doing all this, Ji Xue opened her mouth and began to gnaw on the meat in large bites.

Coco touched the other person with a mix of heartache and fear.

“You’ve been here for a year now, at least find a place to stay around here.”

"Even a mutant species couldn't withstand being exposed to the wind and sun every day."

As if she understood, Ji Xue's huge wolf eyes dimmed slightly, but she remained unmoved. After finishing the meat, she continued to snuggle beside the grave.

Like a guardian spirit, it protects its loved one without ever leaving their side.

Coco didn't say anything more. She tidied up the surroundings, sprayed some protective medicine on Ji Xue, and then got up and left.

The entire martyrs' cemetery was still packed with people, but there was no noise at all.

Everyone paid their respects with the utmost respect to all those who had contributed to their cause.

Coco had finished sweeping all the tombstones here, and then she strode away from the martyrs' cemetery.

But instead of returning to the car, she walked towards a small grove of trees on the back of the mountain.

After walking along winding paths and through dense woods, Coco was suddenly greeted by a bright and open space.

In a clearing surrounded by large trees, beams of warm sunlight shine through the dense foliage onto the stone slab in the center.
