Chapter 61 Own Tomb

The Yanzhou Martyrs Cemetery mainly buries the martyrs of the Qi'an war zone during the era of the extinction of the world. Later, after the establishment of the new century, a group was moved from other places in Yanzhou. According to official data, there are tens of millions of people buried here. Most of the bones have been incinerated and compressed, occupying only a small area. A written record of his name.

People in the new century have a habit of going to the martyrs cemetery to pay homage around the anniversary day every year. Some people think that after the worship, the martyrs will probably bless their wishes to come true, while some people just follow the custom. Take a trip.

As the taxi driver said, because the Memorial Day is approaching, there are indeed more people at the Martyrs Cemetery. When Fang Zhao was on the road, he got a number from the Internet and queued up at the driver's prompt.

The Martyrs Cemetery has a special place for worship, but the space is limited, and it will be full on the days of the anniversary every year, so it has to be numbered.

There were too many worshippers, and the number Fang Zhao got was still relatively late, and he would have to wait two or three hours before it was his turn. However, before that, Fang Zhao planned to visit other places in the Martyrs Cemetery.

When approaching the cemetery, from a distance, Fang Zhao saw the huge tombstone with a height of more than 500 meters. This is the landmark of this area.

The taxi driver only took Fang Zhao to a place close to the cemetery, and did not approach it, because there were too many people, the parking lot was full, and some vehicles lined up on the road. Occasionally, you can see police patrolling with guns. At this time of year, a large number of police officers will be transferred to maintain law and order.

Seeing this, Fang Zhao got out of the car resolutely, and walked in quickly.

There is no charge to enter the park, you just need to check your identity. If there is no problem with your identity and the number of people in the park is within the limited range, you can enter directly.

The road outside the park is very crowded, but once you enter the park, it feels much more spacious. This cemetery is very large and divided into several areas: the core area of ​​the cemetery, the memorial hall of the dying century, the square, the scattered burial area, the public worship area, and so on.

That huge tombstone belongs to the core area of ​​the cemetery and cannot be passed by at will. Generally, people who come here go to the public worship area to worship, and then go to the small teahouse on the side of the square to drink tea and chat for a while. The descendants of the martyrs will go to the scattered burial area or the core area of ​​the cemetery to worship.

Walking along the spacious avenue, there are sidewalks on both sides of the avenue, and the trees on both sides are shady. The species of the tree is exactly the dragon elephant, which is evergreen all the year round. Even in the cold winter of Qi'an City, it still maintains full of vitality green.

In front of the avenue is the square of the cemetery. You can see many people with their families walking around there. The shops on the side of the square are very lively with customers coming and going.

Except for being serious at the moment of worship, most of the people who come here are smiling at other times, whether they are walking and running in the square or resting in the nearby teahouse.

This is not disrespect to the martyrs. At the beginning of the new century, it was also required that the cemetery must be solemn, but it changed later. A general who was born in the dying era said before his death that when he asked his descendants to pay homage to him, he should smile more. The new century he and his comrades finally bought was not for watching them cry.

So gradually, people no longer go to worship with a serious face on purpose.

Remembrance Day is a festive day. Even if you come here to pay homage, it is also with a festive meaning, thanking the heroes of the extinct era for bringing them a peaceful new century.

After experiencing the apocalypse, people in the new century regard the people lying under this land as their faith, and these are their saviors.

The old people will pray for the younger generation when they worship, and the younger generation hope that their little wishes can be fulfilled, such as peace, marriage, wealth, and so on.

It was still early to line up at the public worship area, so Fang Zhao didn't go there, but walked through the square and headed towards the core area where the tall tombstone was.

"Are you a descendant of a martyr? Please show proof." The receptionist in the core area asked Fang Zhao.

"no."

"Sorry, sir, you are not a descendant of the martyrs buried in the park. If you want to enter the core area, you need to verify your identity information and pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan. Do you need to enter?" the person at the service desk asked.

This deposit will not be returned, and this also stops most people. The core area of ​​the cemetery is more important, and it is not suitable for everyone to enter, so the list of such regulations is also a decision made by the park after careful consideration, and the money paid by the descendants of martyrs in the park to enter the core area will be used for the park Maintenance, will not be included in private pockets.

"yes."

Fang Zhao submitted his identity information, and after passing the review, he paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan. The person at the service desk put a blue bracelet on Fang Zhao, which was used to locate Fang Zhao's real-time location and ensure that he would not go anywhere. The place to be.

Most people who enter the core area of ​​the cemetery will be put on wristbands. Different colors have different meanings. Blue means ordinary worshipers, red means descendants of martyrs in the park, white means civil servants, and black means people with special status.

Although there is an extra fee to be paid, after Fang Zhao went in, he found that there were still many people wearing blue bracelets like him walking around inside. However, there were monitors and police watching around, so even if those people wanted to Think more about what you do.

The most obvious thing in the core area is the tall tombstone, and people look extremely small next to it. The huge gray tombstone is like a pillar of support on this land, standing there silently but firmly. Five hundred years of wind and rain have passed, tragic and proud.

Fang Zhao stood in front of the tombstone and looked up for a while, then looked away, walked around the tombstone, and walked behind it.

Behind this huge tombstone, there are small tombstones arranged one after another, with the large tombstone as the apex, arranged in a fan shape and extending backwards.

Each of these small tombstones represents a deceased person.

In the first row, and the row closest to the large headstone, there are ten headstones, larger than those behind. The bigger the tombstone is, because the bigger the tombstone is, the more words are engraved on it, and the status is more important.

From the left, the first tombstone is the well-known Genesis General Wu Yan, and the word "Yan" in Yanzhou is taken from his name.

The eleven generals of Genesis, apart from the Huangzhou where the alliance headquarters is located, the other eleven continents are named after their surnames or first names. For example, Leizhou is named after the "Reina" of Genesis General Harvin Rayner . Since then, the alliance no longer has the rank of "General".

"Wu Yan: (17 years after the death of the world - 56 years in the new century), General Genesis, the second commander of the Fifth Legion, regained Yanzhou..."

On Wuyan's tombstone, his life story is briefly written, which fully reflects the majesty and arrogance of a general who ended the disaster and ushered in a new century.

Fang Zhao looked at the official text and showed a faint smile.

Probably no one knows that Wu Yan is actually afraid of dogs, but he hides well on weekdays.

Continuing to move forward, the smile on Fang Zhao's face disappeared.

The second tombstone reads: "Fang Zhao (?—99 years after the death of the world), the first commander of the Fifth Legion..."

The Fifth Legion was the predecessor of the Yanzhou Military Region. The Fifth Legion, established in the late period of the Mieshi, became the Yanzhou Military Region in the new century after Genesis.

In the new century, people use a new chronology system. The era of extinction starts from the year when the disaster struck, and ends with the year of creation, which lasts for 102 years.

99 years since the death of the world...

It is recorded in the history books of the new century that in fact, the most difficult 99 years of the extinction have passed, and the threats have been almost cleaned up in the 100th year of the extinction, and the next two years will be spent cleaning up the remnants and rebuilding the homeland.

It's just one step away.

Fang Zhao looked down from the tombstone.

So it seems that he was buried under this tombstone?

Fang Zhao's mood was very complicated, and he didn't know what BGM to play in his mind.

I ran outside for two days in a row, but fortunately, the update has not been interrupted. If I don’t go out on weekends, I should be able to double update.
