The casualties of war are still being counted, and citizens will slowly receive official aid from all over...
That day, Athena locked herself in her room, when she closed her eyes, the images that flashed in her mind were endless bloodshed and the towering figure of the Revenge Shadow Rider.
The next day, her agent announced that Athena would soon release a new song, a war song of the soul that she had never attempted before.
In the interview, her agent said Athena had been lost, joyous, hopeful, yet never has her determination been stronger than it is now, perhaps this incident had truly let Athena see some unique things, some people, some events, only through experience can she truly appreciate them, and some inspiration and heartfelt sentiments, can only be expressed with firm belief.
——In tribute to the Revenge Shadow Rider, "Breaking the Boundaries"
As for the real Revenge Shadow Rider, he was extremely tired, his drained body unable to support him any longer. After the battle ended, Feng Yi, riding his biological Mecha, disappeared into the city in the sky, collapsed in the deserted steppes of Xilin, and slept for two days and three nights...
In his dreams, he was back in that raging battlefield, constantly retracing the chapters from his long-sealed memory...
Whistles from the front line occasionally lingered in his ears, trivial things became unforgettable memories. Those times, though hard, were also filled with laughter and jolly drinking, and scenes of fighting with his brothers on the front line time and time again.
Eventually, they all turned into fading ghostly figures.... They smiled at him, said goodbye to him, waved at him, their hands that were used to gripping a steel gun still had the traces of old calluses. As if in a trance, Feng Yi in the dream clenched his IS7 with both hands even tighter! As though letting go would mean losing some important connection.
He tried to grasp a trace, but was rewarded with nothingness. His comrades waved at him, as if saying to him, hurry up and go, brother, this is not a place you should be. The fragments of the dream eventually evaporated into nothingness, only the tear stains in the corners of his eyes remained.
Yes, I often think that one's mood is like still water, when the shackles are lost, it becomes invincible, but I was wrong, the growth of a person needs adversity for tempering, and shackles, are an inseparable part of strength, a true powerhouse, should possess the courage to face those that they want to protect, whether they be people or things, all are equal.
Being in his twenties and nearing thirty, perhaps he was like a stone that had rolled down a hill, no longer young, no longer possessing the passionate blood of youth, and of course not blindly pursuing Mechas and wanting to grow stronger, but his principles never changed, he would exhaust all possibilities to find out the true culprit who crossed his bottom line.
The breeze brushed across his face, autumn had arrived particularly early this year, feeling that touch of cold, when he woke up it was already three days later, the one who woke Feng Yi was the urgent vibrations of the Heavenly Communication...
Receiving the Heavenly Communication, a beautiful face quickly popped up on the light screen, upon seeing Feng Yi, the intelligence officer was visibly surprised, but she quickly hid it and said: "General, the five spaceships have returned back, please come to the Northern Ocean Military Department by 11 pm for the top military meeting on this incident."
"I understand."
A meeting huh...? He would go, but for now, it was still early in the morning, he walked alone towards the cemetery of this terrorist attack, at least for the moment, he wanted to see Guo Guo and Huang Zhennan one last time, maybe, he wanted to do something for the two of them, or maybe, he just wanted to remember.
Due to the special nature of this event, the casualties need to be followed up by the official special inspection group, so it is not far from the Northern Ocean Military Department. However, when he arrived at the cemetery, he couldn't keep track of time, from the early morning, he stood like a wooden statue until noon, even the Heavenly Communication was turned off.
At 14:20 in the afternoon, under the gloomy sky, a small rain started to fall, and at the same time, the military meeting came to a successful conclusion. A soldier reported seeing Feng Yi at the martyr's cemetery.
"When was this?"
"Report: In the morning."
This made the many generals who heard the news furious! Even if you are a federated hero, you can't be so willful, but where is Feng Yi now? After a long time, another soldier reported that General Feng was still standing in the cemetery, but not the one from the morning, but the first tier martyr's cemetery.
Did this guy run from the cemetery to the martyr's cemetery? This seems unusual. But when the generals arrived at the martyr's cemetery to see the immovable Feng Yi, no one could take a step forward to question him...
In the storm, Feng Yi's lips seemed to murmur something silently, leaning against the tombstone as if rooted to the spot, letting the rain soak his entire body. In front of the tombstone laid an IS-7 heavy sniper rifle, and he, occasionally twisted open his flask and drank a big mouthful. This scene made the several generals' eyes redden, they seemed to suddenly be able to feel Feng Yi's feelings, everyone chose not to disturb Feng Yi, and left after watching from a distance for a moment...
"Do you know, in this world, I only admire two people."
"Oh? Who are those two?" The phantom emitting a bit of glowing seemed to see through everything and confidently laughed as he asked back.
"One is Grandpa Lasso, he raised me since I was little, and I admire his wisdom and knowledge."
The phantom revealed a rare look of surprise, "You son of a gun have such a back story, are you speaking about hermit Lasso from the rumors?"
"Indeed."
"Then who is this second person you speak of?"
"The second person is you, Huang Zhennan, old bro, I admire your courage and marksmanship."
"Everybody has courage - especially us. Don't forget, we are soldiers who crawled out of death - as for the marksmanship..." Huang Zhennan laughed again. Feng Yi firmly believed that this would be the last time he saw his smile in his lifetime, refined and confident.
"From now on, this will be yours, this." Accompanied by a surge of electrical wave that flashed through his brain, the phantom started fizzing out, Feng Yi instantly grasped this ability's usage and some memory fragments of Huang Zhennan.
But he didn't stop anything from happening because this was the only thing his comrades had left behind, successive rapid shots from the thunderous IS-7!
"Well, it's getting late, I should get going."
"You're leaving already?"
"Yes."
Huang Zhennan smiled and looked at Feng Yi, and Feng Yi returned the smile...
On the eve of their departure, the two didn't speak a single word, neither willing to voice the thousand words they held in their hearts, they didn't want to see any sadness on each other's faces for the last time, so in the end, could only replace it with a smile.
Huang Zhennan: "Goodbye, good brother."
Goodbyes are for reunions, yet perhaps this goodbye means to never meet again.
Feng Yi: "Goodbye! Brother! Wish you a smooth journey! I will take over your will and continue to fight!"
Feng Yi with trembling hands, slowly, painfully picked up the IS-7 sniper rifle, and strapped it to his back again.
Seeing this scene, a shade of relief appeared on Huang Zhennan's face, turning into glowing dots scattering into nothing...
