Boom!
Those words shook everyone present.
Yes!
The martyrs had paved the road to peace with their own flesh and blood.
Wasn't the very reason they rested here so that future generations could straighten their backs and stand with dignity?!
History books were too thin to contain their greatness. A casual turn of a page encompassed their entire lives...
Yet history books were too thick for us to remember their names. All we knew was that they were called heroes...
"Stand up!"
Someone let out the first roar.
Whoosh!
Liu Gang, the agent who had just been kneeling on the ground in utter remorse, sprang to his feet!
His legs trembled, but his back was ramrod straight!
Liu Gang did not retrieve the badge he had thrown away. Instead, with unprecedented resolve, he stood at attention and gave those gravestones the most precise, solemn military salute!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One, two, ten...
At that moment, every kneeling agent rose to their feet!
They were no longer Hou Liangbing's subordinates, no longer schemers chasing fame and fortune.
At that moment, they were simply soldiers of Bureau 7!
The same hot blood that had flowed through the heroes resting here flowed through their veins!
"Elder Xu, are you Bureau 7's second agent, [Green Pine]?"
A young agent voiced everyone's question in a trembling voice.
They had all heard something of [Old Farmer]'s exploits.
But the codename [Green Pine] had never appeared in any files, public or classified!
That did not mean he had accomplished nothing!
Quite the opposite!
It meant that his achievements and identity were top secrets requiring even greater concealment than [Old Farmer]'s!
He was a green pine that had sheltered this country from wind and rain in the deepest darkness, without ever becoming known!
Elder Xu did not answer.
