Chapter 1079 - The Heroic Souls Will Not Disappear, Their Morale Will Last Forever!

The injury and casualty rate was a sad topic. It was a number that would weigh down one’s heart.

Ye Jian noticed that there were tears in his eyes. Her eyes started turning warm as she said in a soft voice, “It’s impossible to avoid having casualties. They wore military attires and sacrificed to protect the country. They are gone but their morale will last forever. We will always remember them in our hearts. Their souls will not disappear and their morale will live forever. They will survive in another manner.”

Their souls will not disappear and their morale will live forever. They will use their fearless sacrifice to affect generations and generations of soldiers. Their legacy will pass down through the generations. They will last forever!

“You’re right. They might have sacrificed but their spirits will always stay in our unit. Little Zhi said he wanted to lie beside his comrades from our team. He also said that he hoped he didn’t pull you down. After everything ends, I will bring him some liquor and tell him that you’re safe.”

Tears fell down Ye Jian’s face when she heard this. The rain splashed on her face. Other people wouldn’t be able to tell if this was tears or rainwater. Only the person crying knew how much tears fell down her eyes at that time.

Little Zhi was the scout that brought her to Leader Liu. When he raised his gun, a cold and firm expression of a young scout soldier appeared on his face. In this mission, he sacrificed when he was trying to cover two of his comrades at 3.34 pm today.

Martyr Zhang Chengzhi, border guard scout. A party member. Joined the military in February 1994. Sacrificed on February 5th, 1999. Mission completed. First-class honors!

He entered the military when he was 19 and sacrificed at 24. He gave his best years to the country he loved. He used his blood to write the battle song of a hero!

Ye Jian walked to his side and half squatted as she lightly held the right hand of Martyr Zhang Chengzhi who had closed his eyes forever. She whispered, “I am Ye Jian. Don’t worry. I’m fine. I’m really fine.”

“If there’s an afterlife, I will wait for you so that we can fight together again.”

Rest in peace, hero! The heroic souls will not disappear. Their morale will last forever!

This was the first time Ye Jian came face to face with sacrifices. At 11 am, he was still speaking to her shyly because she was a female soldier. Now, within a few hours, they were life and death apart.

Till the end, his last regret was her. He was still worried about her safety.

Ye Jian raised her sniper rifle and fired the last bullet into the air as a gift for her comrade. She was firing it for those heroes that had left the battlefield. She hoped that they would rest in peace!

She took off her military cap and saluted until the stretchers with the heroes on them disappeared from her vision. Ye Jian put her hand down.

“Take care! We have brothers patrolling the mountain so if you need any help, you can…” Leader Liu took out the map they always used when they were patrolling and drew a few contact points they used frequently in the mountain. “You can leave a sign in any of these places. Our comrades will be able to find you.”

Ye Jian remembered the contact points. This time, she met drug dealers. She didn’t know who she would meet the next time. It was good for her to remember them.

At 4.30 pm, Leader Liu and the police officers in his team sent Ye Jian off as she left the village and continued on her journey.

When she turned, she could see a few tall figures standing straight in the rain, saluting her and sending her off. Ye Jian turned back and saluted back at them. When her gaze slid past their faces, she pursed her lips and never turned around again. She entered the never-ending rainforest.

Sorrow was hidden in the depths of their eyes. Their eyes were bloodshot as though tears of blood would drop if they closed their eyes. Their silent endurance made her footsteps exceptionally heavy as she left…
