Chapter 418 - The Monster Tide (1/2)
On a hot afternoon, cicadas are singing on willows.
In this huge cemetery, heroes who have made great contributions to fighting with the Alpha Alliance and building a federation in the Earth Defense War are buried here. After death, they got a burial place near green mountains and clean water. It is very rare for the new era when most of the places are occupied by mutant monsters. Only these heroes can enjoy such honors while the public has no opinion.
In the green tomb-lined graveyard, there is a beautiful woman. She places grilled meat skewers carefully in front of a tombstone.
The photo inlaid on the tombstone has already turned yellow as time lapses. The middle-aged person in the photo is both strange and familiar to Lin Luoran. Although he looked still obese as he had been, his facial features were much tougher. His hair was gray and eyes were bright, totally worthy of the rank of lieutenant general.
“Well, fatty, this is your favorite barbecue…”
Lin Luoran doesn’t allow the brother and sister standing behind to hear her whisper. These soft words float in the wind together with Lin Luoran’s sorrow.
Sorry, fatty, I’m late to come back.
She once tried to protect her family and friends. She has known fatty Ma Ming so early. If she had not been to Penglai at that time, he might have not died in the war.
She might not change the disadvantages of the earth in the Earth Defense War, but she thinks she could protect her families.
What kind of dangerous environment could change the unambitious fatty into a so-called federal hero?
Lin Luoran sprinkles a gla.s.s of spirit wine in front of Ma Ming’s tomb and takes the two teenagers away.
Pa.s.sing by the center of the cemetery, she sees a cenotaph.
“Federal Hero, Huaxia General Mu Tianqing. ”
She has noticed the name Mu Tianqing when she was in the library. At that time, she only thought it was a coincidence. Now that she sees the photo on the tombstone herself, she can hardly hold her tears again.
Sixie, Sixie of the Mu Family, they all call him like this. Lin Luoran doesn’t remember his real name was Mu Tianqing but she will never forget his young face.
With Foundation-laying Bolus, his personal ability had a promising future. However, did Sixie still die on the moon early in 2051?
For a cultivator, he had countless possibilities but he died of the war with the Alpha Alliance.
Lin Luoran never thinks hatred can be so strong.
She hates the Alpha Alliance more than anything else in her life. It’s its army that destroyed her homeland and all the people she knew!
Lin Luoran clenches her hands and carefully checks thousands of tombstones in the cemetery.
Most of them are people of Huaxia and there are also many foreigners. Fortunately, there are no other acquaintances. However, Lin Luoran doesn’t feel relaxed. It does not mean those old friends are still alive even they are not in the hero cemetery. Perhaps, there is nothing that remained of them.

The tragic and dignified atmosphere of the cemetery almost takes Lin Luoran’s breath.
With two teenagers, she escapes from the hero cemetery. The fresh air by the lake wakes her up quickly.
Of course she can’t indulge in sorrow. Her old friends have been dead and she still has to find her missing families.
This almost becomes the only driving force for Lin Luoran to move forward.
She never dares to imagine a lonely personal ability road. What a walking dead she is!
“Sister Lin…” Lu Shuangshuang tries to break this kind of atmosphere.
Even if the girl is not deeply involved in the earthly matters, she still feels strange. Today, his brother Lu Yiming’s att.i.tude is very strange. She doesn’t know who the middle-aged general they just visited is but she saw tears in her brother’s eyes.
Lin Luoran recovers and smiles at Lu Shuangshuang.
“From now on, you can get your family name back. And, call me… aunt, not sister.”
According to seniority, they are the descendants of Ma Ming after many generations. Seniority is really difficult to distinguish. Although “aunt” is still not appropriate, it is much better than “sister”. Lin Luoran doesn’t mind how the two siblings call her. What she cares about is that they can’t call her “Sister Lin” as Ma Ming.
Lu Shuangshuang feels puzzled but Lu Yiming vaguely remembers somethings that his elders mentioned in the past.
