The journey took more than five hours.
The entire journey was desolate.
All those towering trees were destroyed in this beast tide.
As far as the eye can see, it stretches to the horizon.
Lin Yan sighed, realizing that if the Beast God Cult came after them now, the five of them would have nowhere to hide.
In response, Fu You coldly stated that those who jinx others should shut up.
The five people rode their bicycles along the way.
Looking up through the sandstorm, I finally saw the outline of the city.
Getting closer, you can see that half of the city wall has been broken.
The surrounding area was pitted and scarred from the great battle.
On the city wall, a group of people were mending and patching things.
Seeing five figures emerge from the sandstorm, everyone cautiously gripped the bricks in their hands.
When the figure became clear.
Wang Jiuwu's eyes lit up instantly upon returning to Fengzhu City after the relocation of Huangshi.
He waved excitedly and shouted, "It's the top scholar! The top scholar is back!"
On the city wall, everyone paused for a moment.
Then everyone shouted in unison, "Su Yu is back!"
"Su Yu and the others are back!!!"
......
One voice after another was passed on, gradually spreading throughout the entire Fengzhu City.
At this moment, the city, which had been somewhat listless, seemed to suddenly radiate vitality again.
The crowd rushed out to greet Su Yu and his group of five.
Su Yu and his companions quickly packed up their bicycles and entered the city amidst a crowd of people.
Traces of a major battle still remain in the city.
But because of Su Yu and the others' return.
Everyone flocked to the streets, welcoming them with the utmost enthusiasm.
They walked towards the Governor's Mansion.
Su Yu touched the ring on her hand and said softly, "Let's go home."
The entrance to the Governor's Mansion.
Governor Fengzhu and all of An Du's staff waited at the entrance.
Su Yu stopped and reported to the Governor: Su Yu has come to report with the relics of the martyrs of Fengzhu City No. 3 Lookout City.
Lookout City No. 3 is the only lookout city to date where no artifacts have been found.
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Governor Fengzhu let out a long sigh.
Those children can go home now.
He bowed deeply to Su Yu and the other four, then stood up and saluted: "On behalf of the No. 3 Watchtower of Fengzhu City and all the citizens of Fengzhu City, I would like to express my gratitude to the five heroes!"
Whoosh!
The on-site safety supervisors saluted in unison.
All five of them straightened their backs and returned the greeting.
In their hearts, heroes are those who protect them.
This ceremony is being performed on their behalf.
......
Enter the Governor's Mansion.
Governor Fengzhu immediately arranged for staff to hand over the belongings of the 823 heroes of Fengzhu City to Su Yu.
They saw Su Yu take out strangely shaped "envelopes" and photos from his spatial ring.
With tears in his eyes, Governor Fengzhu led his staff in another salute.
The gratitude is all contained in this gesture.
Each name on the list corresponds to a specific person, and with each name called, Su Yu clearly knows what they once said to him.
"Brother Su Yu, how's this photo of mine?"
"Brother Su Yu, do you run out of film? Maybe I can wait until the last minute to shoot."
"Hey! Brother Su Yu, I haven't had many photos taken in my life, and this one of you is the best."
......
The personnel list is being checked.
“Zhang Qunting, residing at No. 106 Guping Street, is the recipient, Yu Dexia, and her relationship is that of mother and son,” the staff member said in a hoarse voice.
Upon hearing this, Song Qinghuan and the others were stunned for a moment.
Knowing this already, Su Yu took the initiative and said, "Governor, let's take Zhang Qunting home."
"We're going the same way."
Governor Fengzhu nodded.
He carefully placed Zhang Qunting's belongings one by one into the hero's box, and finally covered it with a bright red flag.
......
At the Governor's Mansion, Su Yu stepped out of the gate, holding the Hero Box in his arms.
The five of them walked back to their rented apartment complex.
At this moment, Aunt Yu, who is petite, was already waiting at the entrance of the community.
Upon seeing the Hero Box in Su Yu's hand, her eyes instantly filled with tears.
She frantically wiped away her tears with both hands.
With the help of others, she came to Su Yu and the other four.
"You're back?"
The five people nodded emphatically.
"I'm back."
Wiping away her tears, Aunt Yu forced a smile and said, "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"
"Come on, kids, let's go home."
From the entrance of the residential area to Aunt Yu's home.
It seemed like they had been walking for a long time.
So long ago that a newborn baby peed all over his father's face as soon as he was born; so long ago that a child in his first year of school cried for a long time after falling down; so long ago that after graduating from university, his face beamed with an excited smile as he said, "Mom, I'm going to join the army!"
...
The moment I returned home and put down the Hero Box.
Aunt Yu then asked, "Has our family, Qunting, brought shame to the country?"
"Soldier Zhang Qunting is the bravest soldier in the entire army! He is the pride of the nation!" Su Yu answered, puffing out his chest.
"It's good that he didn't embarrass himself! Besides being afraid of pain, what he fears most is people saying he's embarrassed." Aunt Yu murmured as she opened the hero's box.
There were two letters and a photograph inside.
One letter was for Aunt Yu, and the other was for another girl.
Aunt Yu saw her son's simple and sincere smile in the photo.
She touched the face in the photo and smiled along with it.
"You're home! You're also your mother's pride."
Upon opening the envelope, one finds densely packed, delicate handwriting; a single sheet of paper seems insufficient to contain all that he wants to say.
Aunt Yu read it aloud, word by word.
In the end, it was just a sentence: "Mom, I love you."
