Chapter 224: Funeral and Twin's birthday

It was a cloudy Wednesday when Xiaoyun stood at the graveyard located in the town center.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians were standing outside the graveyard, watching in silence as Xiaoyun and the soldiers stood inside.

As Yezi tells Xiaoyun it is time, Xiaoyun finally begins the funeral.

"Comrades, today we gather here with heavy hearts and tearful eyes to pay tribute to the brave men and women who served as soldiers.

They had sacrificed their lives for a cause greater than themselves. An existential crisis humanity had ever seen."

Xiaoyun took a deep breath for a second as he spoke softly next.

"These soldiers were not just individuals in uniform. They were fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors. And most importantly, they were the people that we could trust with our backs.

Each one of them made the ultimate sacrifice, leaving behind dreams, aspirations, and the warmth of home.
