【Respect】The Beautiful Future

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor of the headquarters, and Arakawa Zebei ran towards the position of the general command room with his lips tightly pressed.He drove all the way from the research institute on the outskirts of Tokyo, and without even taking out the key, he opened the car door and ran towards the headquarters building. Go up the stairs instead.This research guy was exhausted, but he still ran forward despite the bloody smell in his throat and the heart-ripping pain between his breaths.

Arakawa Zebei may be trying so desperately to catch up with time this time in his life, but after all, it is not a speed that humans can touch.

The silver-white door of the Commander's Office appeared in his almost blurred vision. The door was slowly being opened to both sides, and a blue figure stepped out of it.Arakawa Zebei abruptly stopped his pace, but staggered to the opponent with weak knees.

"Doctor Arakawa?" Reji Munakata, who had just stepped out of the commander's room, looked at the person who jumped in front of him in surprise.

Arakawa Zebei's chest rose and fell violently. He bent his waist and put his hands on his knees to breathe heavily. He raised his head suddenly when he heard Munakata's voice, and almost hurriedly stretched out a hand to grab Munakata's arm, " Why is it you?!...Huh...Yu Zhang...ha cough cough...Where is General Yu Zhang?!!!"

He looked behind Zongxiang, and hurriedly withdrew his hand to dig out his pocket after searching for nothing.However, due to the excessive muscle exertion along the way, his hands were constantly shaking, and it took him a lot of effort to take out a small and delicate translucent box, where he could see a row of injections neatly placed inside. "A vaccine to cure the virus has been found! The final clinical trial has just ended, and there is no problem."

Munakata nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Where is General Habari?!" Arakawa Sawakita almost shouted.

"You've already figured it out, don't you?" Munakata said calmly.

Arakawa Zebei was stunned, his bloodshot eyes dimmed at this moment, like a dead well.He swayed, raised his hand to support his forehead, and smiled wryly in a low voice: "Yes, yes... I know it well."

"...if only I could go faster." His voice trembled.

"I'm here to sort out the relics for the teacher," Munakata said. "The body was cremated yesterday, and the burial ceremony will begin later. Do you want to come with me?"

Arakawa slowly put down his hand, looked deeply at Munakata for a long time, and nodded.

Because Yu Zhangxun was an infected person, his body was not allowed to be sent back to Luoyang, the capital, and could only be cremated and buried on the spot as soon as possible.His cemetery was chosen in the maple forest behind the base, and he was supported by several confidants of Yu Zhang, headed by Zenjo Gangyi, before his death. The wooden plaque with his name, the tomb is so deep that it seems to reach the underworld, and the coffin is placed in it. This man who lived a brilliant life will sleep here forever.

The air was damp and cold, and large swaths of red maple leaves were spiraling and falling. All the soldiers stood solemnly and paid attention to the scene. There was no cry, and it was the most extreme silence.Due to lack of experience and limited circumstances, this was an extremely simple and somewhat hasty funeral.

Zongxiang stood at the forefront, his deep purple eyes were as deep as the sea, and his back was as straight as a sharp sword piercing into the sky.He lowered his eyes and watched the earth bury the coffin. As a person without any religious belief, he couldn't help but think of the words in the Bible:

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, let the dead be peaceful, and let the living regain liberation.

Thinking of this Zongxiang Lisi closed his eyes, took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, his eyes were as firm as iron when he opened them again, he tensed his body, raised his hand and saluted the most respected military salute to the only teacher in this life.

Zongxiang put down his hands and turned to leave, his movements were clean and neat, without the slightest nostalgia.His deputy Awashima Seri saluted behind him, then turned around and caught up with Munakata.

"Awashima-kun, when the barbarians arrive later, please take them directly to the combat conference room, and I will wait there." Munakata said.

"Baowuluo?!" Awashima was slightly stunned.

Ten bunches of Duoduoliang pressed down the plunger of the syringe and injected the vaccine into Zhou Fangzun's arm.Zhou Fang frowned slightly, ten bundles pressed down with a cotton swab and carefully pulled out the syringe, he raised his eyes to see Zhou Fang's expression and asked worriedly: "Are you not feeling well, king?"

"Ah...not bad." Zhou Fang withdrew his hand and tried to move a few times.

"Are you ready?" Kusanagi Izumo pushed the door in, "The vaccine has been distributed, and I have explained to them all the things that need to be paid attention to. Ten doses, do you have any other questions?"

Ten bundles of tatara sorted out the medical equipment he brought, and took the time to smile and shake his head at Kusanagi, "It's already done. If this is the case, the virus should be completely eliminated in a short time."

"So it seems right to cooperate with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." Kusanagi heaved a sigh of relief, sat down beside him and lit a cigarette.

"I also think that Arakawa Zebei over there is a very powerful person. Although he is a bit serious and rigid, he can be quite cute sometimes." Shi Shu said, and he glanced sideways at Zhou Fang's movement of trying to stand up. Pressing his shoulder to stop him, "For the first injection, you have to rest for a while before you can move around!"

"How long?" Zhou Fang asked.

"About half an hour—is there something urgent for King?" Shi Shu said.

"Get ready, let's go to the federal military base." Zhou Fang said.

Kusanagi Izumo took off the cigarette and held it between his fingers, and looked sideways at Zhou Fang, "Is that lord going to do something?"

"Munakata called just now," Zhou Fang said, "He's about to launch a full-scale attack on the DTC alliance."

"But Your Excellency," Awashima hesitated, "General Habari has just left, and the base is still very unstable. Is it inappropriate to launch an attack on the alliance at this time?"

"Instability is enough." Munakata said lightly, "The Federation will not rest assured that the Japanese region is under my control, and the time I can freely control is only when the virus completely disappears from this land."

"But the order from the Federation that does not allow attacks..."

"Awashima-kun," Reji Munakata interrupted her, he raised his eyes to look at the boundless blue sky, "There is no need to worry about this, especially in this situation."

"There is no second Yu Zhangxun in this world that they can send to stop me." Zongxiang chuckled lightly, unable to tell what emotion it was.

Seri Awashima looked at his back and was speechless for a while.

They walked against the wind, the hem of their military uniforms fluttered up and down, the long wind swept over the fallen leaves, the blue flag in the center of the base was fluttering and hunting in the blue sky, and there was a chilling atmosphere in the world.The soldiers followed their brigadier general, saluted in turn and turned away, no one looked back, because there was no time left for any of them to mourn too much.
