"Before Commander Zuo left, he had already left an order to send him back to his original squadron base for a proper burial, and to posthumously award him a personal 'Star' medal. His family will also receive a large pension..." Fang Zuo looked down at the body lying on the stretcher and smiled bitterly.

"That's good. Among the first group of brothers who volunteered to guard the war pass, he is the most glorious one..."

After staring at the corpse for a long time, Lin Qiye spoke hoarsely, "Does he... have any last wishes?"

Fang Zuo was stunned: "He does have a last wish... but he just hopes that I can help take care of his son. After all, he and I have a good personal relationship. His son also called me Uncle Fang when he was a child. But he is in a rebellious period recently, and he is a little worried."

"His son?" Cao Yuan asked, "What's his name?"

"Lu Baoyou."

Lin Qiye nodded and secretly memorized the name.

After several people carried the stretcher away, Lin Qiye sat back on the city wall and stared at the distant horizon in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Cao Yuan asked puzzledly.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. The sunset and the sea in his sight had disappeared, replaced by darkness.

He stretched out his hands toward the sky, as if trying to grasp something.

"I was thinking... maybe one day, I will let this night cover the entire Daxia."

…

Somewhere in Daxia.

In the empty abandoned warehouse, a figure wearing a gray cloak and a vortex mask opened the heavy door and walked in. The sound of his footsteps echoed muffledly in the dim warehouse.

He walked to the center of the warehouse and stopped.

"Captain, there's news from Commander Zuo that the crisis has been resolved and there's no need to travel through time again." Xuanwo said softly.

In the open space in front of him, a figure was sitting cross-legged quietly, with a long sword across his body. The drooping "King" mask slowly raised up, revealing a pair of calm and tired eyes.

"No need?" Wang Mian asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that it's too late?"

"Lin Qiye and his team are back, and they are defending Shenlong Pass." Xuanwo couldn't help but sigh, "It's true that the younger generation is pushing the older generation forward... The speed of progress of these younger generations is terrifying. I heard that they will soon return to Shangjing to officially register their information, and there will also be a ceremony to award two 'Star Sea' medals."

"Lin Qiye?"

Wang Mian muttered the name, and the image of the young man with golden eyes in the training camp appeared in his mind. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth under the mask.

"Are they finally back?"

Wang Mian slowly stood up from the ground, put [Yi Yuan] back to his waist, lowered his head slightly, took off the mask with the word "Wang" on it, and walked into the bright sunshine outside the warehouse.

The breeze was like an invisible hand, blowing up a strand of silver hair on Wang's face. He raised his face, which already had a few wrinkles on it, and squinted at the sun hanging high in the clear sky through the gaps between his fingertips.

"Our pressure can finally be relieved a little..."

…

Shangjing City.

006 team base.

Shao Pingge hung up the phone, took a long breath, lay back on the recliner behind his desk, and yawned lazily.

"Why are you sleeping again?" Yuan Gang stood in front of his desk, frowning and asking hastily, "What's the situation? Tell me! Has the beast tide been stopped?"

"Don't worry, the crisis is over." Shao Pingge said calmly, "The fifth special team has returned and has taken over Shenlong Pass. They are now on the plane back to Shangjing and will probably arrive in the afternoon."

Yuan Gang was stunned, "Lin Qiye and the others are back?"

At this moment, Yuan Gang's mind once again emerged the scene of that rainy day when seven figures holding black umbrellas stood outside the courtyard and flew away on the clouds.

"It's been two years already..." Shao Pingge lay there, looking up at the empty ceiling, and spoke slowly, "They came back at the right time."

"Yeah, it's time for them to come and take back what belongs to them."

"By the way, they will arrive in Beijing this afternoon. Will you go to pick them up at the airport?"

When Yuan Gang heard this, a bitter look appeared on his face. "Me? How can I have time to go to the airport to pick you up? This year's training camp is about to start, the list of students has not been filed yet, and the instructors have not been settled yet. I haven't slept for a few days, you know that..."

"Yes, you are really busy at work." Shao Pingge nodded, "But I have a meeting at the headquarters this afternoon, so I can't go... How about you ask Xiao Zhang to pick him up?"

"It's the only way."

Yuan Gang turned around and was about to leave the office, but as if he had thought of something, he turned back and asked again, "By the way, are you sure you want to put Zhenzhen in this training camp? She's still too young."

Shao Pingge paused for a moment and hummed.

“Let her go. The Night’s Watch is in need of people right now. Her ability is very special. If we use it well, she might be of great use in the future… Besides, we will be leaving soon, and she can’t grow up under the protection of our team forever.

Although Zhenzhen is naughty, she is very smart and can take care of herself. "

After a moment's silence, Yuan Gang nodded.

"I see."

…

Shangjing City.

An airplane slowly descended from the blue sky and landed on a military helipad in Shangjing City.

The plane door opened, and Fatty Baili walked out first. He stretched his muscles and said with emotion: "I haven't been on a plane for a long time... Daxia is still the best."

[Nightfall] The rest of the team walked out of the plane one after another. Cao Yuan looked around and asked in confusion, "Didn't they say that someone from Shangjing would come to pick us up? Where are they?"

"Is that Instructor Yuan Gang?" asked Baili Pangpang.

"No, Instructor Yuan has already called. He is busy with the training camp and has no time to receive us. The one who came is a new member of the Shangjing team." Lin Qiye explained while scanning the area with his mental power.

"Found it. A large jeep with a military license plate is waiting for the traffic light across the road."

"Are we early?"

"No, he's late."

An Qingyu glanced at the time and replied.

The seven people left the military helipad and walked straight to the side of the road. Only then did the military jeep drive into the intersection in a dusty state.

The driver's door opened, and a tall, thin man came down, looking a little embarrassed, and said apologetically:

"I'm really sorry, there was an accident in the team just now, and I kept you waiting for a long time." He walked to the side of the road and shook hands with Lin Qiye and others one by one.

"My name is Zhang Zhengting, a member of the 006 team stationed in Shangjing City. On that rainy day two years ago, we fought across the gate of the courtyard."
