Heavy snow had fallen several times over the past month, drifting gracefully through the air, creating a picturesque scene. The hardworking people were filled with enthusiasm. At this moment, Wang Chao stood before the completed project. The first high wall was taller and thicker than the walls of the Safe Zone, measuring two meters thick and twenty meters high. The reinforced concrete was remarkably sturdy; surely, those monsters would not dare to break through such a formidable barrier.
Surrounding this high wall was an electric fence that stood about ten meters tall. The bottom two meters were made of solid wall as a foundation, while the upper part consisted entirely of the electric fence. Wang Chao looked up at the electric fence and felt a weight lift from his heart. With these defenses in place, it would be difficult for the monsters in the small town to escape. Moreover, there were hundreds of soldiers stationed around, ensuring that no incidents would occur.
The residents of the Safe Zone were gradually being transported back home. Wang Chao arrived at the military camp located on either side of the newly constructed road. Upon seeing him, the hundreds of young soldiers inside expressed their excitement. Most of them were just seventeen or eighteen years old, having had to join the workforce early due to the lack of schooling. Their greatest desire was to enlist and protect those they cared about.
Thinking about this made Wang Chao feel a pang of sadness. A nation, no matter how backward or impoverished, should never halt education, even in times of great crisis. Survival had once taken precedence, but now that this project was complete, education needed to be prioritized as well. Many of these young recruits had joined the military because of Wang Chao's influence.
Over the past four years, they had witnessed Wang Chao's journey from obscurity to his current position. He had started like most others, struggling to survive in this world. Later, he joined the Bioterrorism Security Department and led many members into the Zombie Tide during the Yucheng incident to cover for the retreat of larger forces. In places like the Imperial Capital, Jing City, and Coastal regions, Wang Chao had saved countless lives—those lives included theirs, their families', and their friends'.
These children from various Safe Zones had finally grown into a new generation of pillars for their community.
Wang Chao appeared like a savior in their lives during their formative years, imparting one of life's most important lessons: that one could sacrifice their life for those they wished to protect. Now they had embraced that lesson and become a new batch of soldiers for Huaxia! Even if they remained anonymous and never made it into history books, there would always be someone who remembered their contributions to humanity.
For instance, right now, everyone was committed to ensuring the safety of this transport route. With Spring Festival approaching in just a week, they could not return home; they had to remain vigilant here. Not only them but also many sentinels stationed at various posts shared this commitment. It was because of such individuals that this nation could remain safe and its people enjoy their first festival in four years without worry.
Reflecting on this, Wang Chao sat down and looked at these young soldiers before him. He spoke slowly: "Everyone here is a soldier, including this big sister beside me!" He pointed at Shen Zhitao and continued, "Since we are all soldiers, I want to share my thoughts on what it means to be a soldier and what I have seen in those who serve."
The military has always been serious and orderly. Wang Chao addressed the straight rows of seated soldiers: "I remember about three years ago when I wasn't yet a soldier myself—just a confused young person who had recently joined an organization that believed this Zombie crisis was manageable and still kept things under wraps. Of course, now everyone knows that organization is the Biochemical Terrorism Security Protection Department—commonly known as the Bioterrorism Security Department—and at that time, I was assigned a mission!"
"My mission was to check whether there was any risk of explosion or leakage at a Nuclear Power Plant. Before me, another team had already been sent!" As he spoke, memories flooded back from that day three years ago. He continued: "The dangers along the way are another story; when I arrived at the Nuclear Power Plant, guess what happened? There had been a leak! Twenty soldiers there understood the peril: if it leaked further, it could spell disaster for everyone in the city. So they chose to use their bodies to block the leaking nuclear energy!"
Wang Chao's mind conjured up faces that had become unfamiliar over time; tears welled in his eyes as he continued: "They took turns using their bodies to shield against that leaking energy. To this day, I remember their expressions as they faced death with courage. Perhaps some of you are like me—coming from small towns—if it weren't for them, I might not be here today. An old soldier I respect greatly once told me that even when misunderstood or pelted with stones, a soldier never forgets his duty; he willingly charges into hordes of zombies to protect civilians during their retreat!"
"I know that many times, the soldiers you see are not like this. For example, two years ago in Jing City, or even earlier, there are images you may never forget. They were soldiers too, but when a crisis broke out, they recklessly seized food and drinking water from the crowd with their guns, even forcing women..." Wang Chao looked around at the young faces and said word by word, "But in my eyes, such people cannot be called soldiers; at most, they can only be considered thugs."
"What does a true soldier look like?" Wang Chao stood up and spoke passionately. "A true soldier is like Lei Father and Son, someone who is willing to sacrifice their life for those they protect. They are those twenty soldiers who can laugh and face death for their beliefs. These individuals have the blood of the Chinese Nation flowing in their veins; they carry the most precious spirit passed down through thousands of years of Chinese history. When these people stand up, they are the backbone of the entire Chinese nation!"
Wang Chao's heartfelt words stirred the soldiers below him; everyone couldn't help but applaud. Many were moved to tears. Wang Chao understood that this applause and these tears were not for him but for those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Chinese Nation, those who are still shedding blood for Huaxia!
"I hope you all can become such soldiers!" Wang Chao said as he deeply bowed to everyone present.
