182 Your exploits endure forever
On the third day of the mission, Lin Youde and his team went to Bighorn Space Station to receive their medals.
Lin Youde had experienced the award ceremony too many times, so he began to feel boring. Xia Yongzhi also lacked interest, and Freya was very excited.
Lili Belle looked ashamed, as if she thought she shouldn't have won the medal.
After the award ceremony, Lili Belle looked relieved.
"Many people from the Bele family sent congratulations," Lily said in the tactical link. "I really feel something is wrong when I see these. I obviously just got a medal, so what's there to boast about."
Everyone just smiled at each other when they complained.
"What are you laughing at? What are you going to do afterwards?" Lily pouted and asked in an unhappy voice, while rubbing her shoulders with her hands. Yesterday's Golden Rooster Independence made her suffer enough. In the end, she could only follow Lin Youde's instructions to start from the basics.
Lin Youde confirmed with Noah that she could not enter the award ceremony, so she was waiting outside the headquarters.
Then he looked back at the girls following him and said, "The sacrificial spy gave us this in addition to intelligence information."
Lin Youde showed everyone the photos of Noah sketching with a pencil to show that humans can also do this with pencils, but Lin Youde always felt that letting Noah write was cute.
The two humans immediately recognized that the man in the photo was the waiter. Freya hesitated for a while, her eyes rumbling around and confirmed the expressions of several humans. Then she asked skeptically: "Is that... the hospitality that died at the Juca Space Station?"
"Yes, the woman next to her should be his ex-girlfriend or something. I think he gave me this photo because he wanted me to visit his ex-girlfriend."
Xia Yongzhi asked hesitantly: "He has been lurking for a while, right? His ex-girlfriend should have his own life now, right? Can you go there rashly?"
"But what if that girl has been thinking about him?" Freya made a counter-argument. "Maybe she has been waiting for news about him for so many years?"
Lily closed her mouth tightly, as if she had put herself in the position of the entire team of recruits, so she decided not to interrupt the argument between the two "veterans".
Lin Youde decided to exercise his power as captain: "I have investigated her carefully. She is on the Big Corner Space Station and is not married yet. She just has a boyfriend. I have positioned her current position and are following her. Let us go to find her. Tell her the truth. If the truth is brought to her the last wish of the brave intelligence officer, we should implement it and we cannot let the hero's last wish fail, right?"
Xia Yongzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Well, you're right."
"Then let's go. Noah has stopped a taxi and is waiting for us at the commander's entrance."
**
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Youde saw the woman's face in the photo from a distance in the car window.
"We're here." He said this. At the same time, Xia Yongzhi controlled the speedway to leave the main traffic space in the space station and landed towards the edge of the commercial street that simulated the open space.
"I'm operating like this, but it's a violation. Invading the speed of the computer system and manually operating it is a violation of the rules. Why don't we use the speed of the Space Army or the traffic boat of your Lin family?" Xia Yongzhi complained while operating.
Lin Youde shrugged: "These vehicles have signs, and it's too conspicuous to sit here."
While talking, the car parked steadily on the sidewalk of the commercial street, and the airflow on the ground caused a small commotion. The woman in the photo who was directly blocked from the way stood in surprise, and the person who looked like her boyfriend immediately blocked her.
Lin Youde opened the door. He first told the two not to worry, and then he cleared his throat. After waiting for the sound of opening and closing the car door behind him to disappear, he asked loudly: "Is it Miss Zhao Yazhi?"
"Yes, I am." The lady's voice was full of doubt.
At this time, the man who was protecting her suddenly pointed at Lin Youde and said, "I remember you! You are the Lin Youde, the Lin Youde who cuckolded Princess Elalay!"
Wait, why did the rumors become like this?
[This kind of rumor has always been there, and the information flow that I burst into your mind includes these.]
is that so?
【That's it.】
Lin Youde shook his head secretly, pretending not to hear the unknown man's words ("Why are Princess Elalay and the third person who intervened are behind you? You might not have succeeded both of them?"), he showed the portrait in his hand and asked, "Ms. Zhao, do you know the person in the painting?"
Ms. Zhao was stunned for a moment, with a look of confusion, but the confusion gradually turned into surprise.
"I... do know him, but he... he has died in a spacecraft accident. I remember it was a cruiser of the Space Army. That happened more than ten years ago. I have been seeing a psychologist all these years. Why do you ask this?"
"It's nothing, it's just to confirm whether you are really Miss Zhao Yazhi. His last wish is to let you know that he is actually alive over the years."
"Long wish? I've been alive all these years?" Ms. Zhao repeated Lin Youde's words, "That's what it means..."
"I can't tell you any details, this is a rule, and I can only say that he went to his death with a human form."
Ms. Zhao covered her mouth and tears suddenly surged out of her eyes.
"Remember," she said softly, "before he 'what happened', I went to KTV with him for a retro look. He ordered a lot of songs that made me feel unlucky. You are a soldier. You should know, "Bloody Style" and "We Will Be Found Under the Ruins". I got angry and refused to let him sing it again. As a result, he slammed the door and ran away. I thought he would come to chase me, but he didn't, so I was so angry that I ignored him until he..."
Ms. Zhao was already crying, Lin Youde and others looked at each other, but found that their expressions were solemn. Lilibele simply turned her face and knew that nano-mechanicals could kill all the tears in their eyes, and there would never be any situation where they didn't want to cry but couldn't control them, but she turned her face.
Finally, Ms. Zhao turned from crying to sob under the comfort of her current boyfriend. Lin Youde also seized the opportunity to take the pencil drawing back into her arms and said goodbye: "Then, Ms. Zhao, we won't continue to disturb you..."
"Can't you give me the painting?"
"Sorry, no." Lin Youde hesitated for a moment, and did not say that the painting was painted by himself, so Ms. Zhao continued to mistakenly think that this was the work of the person who had gone away in her memory.
Xia Yongzhi stepped forward and said, "If you want to pay tribute to him, you can go to the cemetery of the Cosmic Army Martyrs in the Circle of 11, where there is a monument to the Unsung Heroes."
"I'll go."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Youde and others took a step back and saluted Ms. Zhao together.
**
After saying goodbye to Ms. Zhao, Lin Youde and his group drove a speed vehicle to the Martyrs Cemetery of the Space Army, also known as the Invalides Academy of the Space Army.
There are no separate tombstones here, because there are too many people who sacrificed their lives in the two hundred years of the universe, and there is no room for each of them to have a tombstone. So their names are engraved on the wall, which surrounds the main building of the cemetery in a spiral shape, with a total length of several thousand meters and is constantly expanding to the outer circle.
Following the spiral passage formed by the name wall, you can see the monument without inscriptions. The torch burns on the top of the monument, and a line of small words is written on the base of the monument: "You are willing to die as a human being, no one knows your name, and your achievements will last forever."
Behind the monument is a huge screen showing the number of unsung heroes who have been sacrificed to this day on the front to protect humanity: 97.55 million and one.
I guess that 1 appeared in the past two days.
"One day, will we become part of this number?" Xia Yongzhi asked softly.
"Yes, maybe when that day will come." Lin Youde answered calmly.
At the same time, he murmured in his heart: My parents are probably already inside.
Freya suddenly said, "If I had also died, would this number be rewritten to 97.55 million plus one person? I mean, add a plus sign after the number in front, '+1' like this..."
Lin Youde smiled and shook his head: "No, of course it won't be like this."
"But will you humans treat me as your own?"
"I don't know," Lin Youde replied honestly, "but I must have regarded you as my own person and trust you completely."
"Should this person be replaced by 'My person'?" Xia Yongzhi also joined the conversation with ease.
"Don't you think it's rude to flirt in such a solemn place?" Lily said angrily, "Enough, I'm leaving, no matter you."
As he said that, Lily walked out on her own.
At this time, Xia Yongzhi touched Lin Youde's skin with her hand and said, "I just finished painting the makeup and came out to wait for the start of the award ceremony. I wandered around the headquarters for a while, but ended up meeting a few blue shirts that looked like the ship design institute. They were excitedly discussing the design plan of the next-class large cruiser. The new cruiser seemed to have been finalized and was about to start construction."
"But now you are unlikely to drive them." Lin Youde responded with some regret.
"It's not necessarily true. Maybe we'll be more active and make more achievements. The Space Army will hand over one of the new ships to you as a 'bus'."
