Chapter 292 Funeral and Promotion

After returning to Lagrange, Wolfe reported to Edmund the results of the mission and the queen's next steps. Because only Edmund, Chico and Wolfe were present, no one knew what they were doing. What was said at the meeting.

After the end, Cangling went to ask Captain Wolf what instructions he had, and Wolf replied that Edmund ordered Sharon to set up a cloak mound.

"I'll do it now." Cang Ling immediately went to Charles, the administrator of the cemetery.

Three days later, everyone in the Wolfe team went to the Knights Cemetery to attend Sharon's funeral.

The Knights Cemetery is at the southeast corner of Lagrange, where 162 Hurricane Knights and 78 Silver Knights rest.

Unlike common people's tombstones, the design of the knight's tombstone is very simple. It is a stone pillar with a height of 1.2 meters and a width of 20 centimeters.

Sharon's tombstone sits next to a group of veterans, with his uniform and badge buried beneath it.

"I just now know that Sharon is his full name." Lyudmila looked at the tombstone and said, "I always thought that Sharon was his last name, but I didn't know that it was his full name."

"I'm sorry, Lyudmila," Wolf whispered.

"It doesn't matter, Captain. Anyway, we will come here sooner or later. No matter how long we are apart, we will eventually reunite in heaven. Thinking of this, you won't be so sad." Liudmila said holding back tears.

"This is the cigar you like. It's quite expensive. It cost me half a month's salary." Ryan took out a box of cigars from his pocket, took them out one by one, inserted them into the soil, and lit them one by one.

"Rest in peace, Squad Leader Sharon, we will inherit your legacy and continue to fight." Cang Ling lowered his head.

Everyone bowed their heads together and observed 3 minutes of silence in front of Sharon's tombstone.

Before leaving, Wolf stopped Lyudmila: "I returned it to you from Sharonto, and he said that I must return it to you."

After speaking, Wolfe took out three banknotes from his pocket.

Lyudmila took the banknote, and the tears she had been holding back burst out suddenly.

"Sharon, you bastard..." Lyudmila held the banknote tightly and broke down in tears.

The next day, Wolf called Cang Ling to the office and asked her to replace Sharon as the second squad leader.

"Huh? Me?" Cang Ling was taken aback, "But I don't have much experience, and I don't have enough combat experience..."

"After this mission, I think you are qualified enough to be the squad leader." Wolf patted Cang Ling on the shoulder, "I believe you can do a good job, I hope you don't let me down."

After speaking, Wolfe turned and left.

Cang Ling looked at Wolf's background and didn't move for a long time, feeling sad, excited, and uneasy.

The next day, Wolf officially announced the matter at the morning meeting. He thought that everyone would be unconvinced or question her ability, but everyone applauded enthusiastically and congratulated her on being promoted to monitor.

"Thank you everyone, I will definitely work hard and hope that I will not disappoint everyone's trust." Cang Ling was very moved.

Before Cang Ling was immersed in the joy of being promoted, the first task came. Wolfe asked her to send back Donna's badge and inform her parents about Donna's situation.

Hearing this task, Cang Ling suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

What all knights fear most is facing the family members of their fallen comrades.

But Cang Ling had no choice but to go, so he obediently got on the train to Leonard with Donna's badge.

Donna's family is in Santoni, a border city of Leonard. Her parents are bank employees, and she is the only daughter in the family.

After walking to the door of her house, Cang Ling found that Donna's mother, Ms. Belinda, was watering the flowers at the door.

She looks very similar to Donna, almost carved out of the same mold, with the same gentle and amiable expression.

Cang Ling took a deep breath, stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

"Here we come!" Ms. Belinda hurriedly put down the kettle, wiped her hands on her apron, and ran to open the door.

As soon as she saw Cang Ling, she froze.

"Hi, Mrs. Belinda. I'm Donna's class monitor, Cang Ling." Cang Ling saluted as a knight.

Belinda's face turned pale, and she held onto the door frame with a frightened expression on her face.

The Hurricane Knight will only go to the home of a comrade-in-arms in person under one circumstance, and that is to inform the other party of death.

"I have some news about Donna, and I want to convey it to you personally." Cang Ling said in a calm tone as much as possible.

Tears oozed from Belinda's eyes, she stared at Cang Ling's eyes, her mouth trembling for a long time before she said: "Please, please wait a moment, please enter the room before we talk!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran into the house in a hurry.

After entering the room, Belinda asked Cang Ling to sit on the sofa, and then made tea, took snacks, and cleared the coffee table, running around non-stop, as if this could delay time and prevent bad news from coming .

It wasn't until there was nothing else to do that Belinda slowly moved to the opposite side of Cang Ling and sat down.

"Please tell me!" Belinda said, holding back tears.

Cang Ling glanced at Belinda's folded hands and said, "I know what you're thinking now, but I swear to you, the situation is not as bad as you think."

Hearing this, Belinda opened her eyes slightly.

"During the mission, Donna suffered some injuries. Her condition may not be very good, but her life is not in danger."

"You mean she's still alive?" Belinda rushed to Cang Ling, showing an expression as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Yes, in a sense, she is indeed alive."

"Wait, what does that mean in a sense? She's injured? She's disabled?"

"No, neither. I don't know how to explain it to you, because there are some secrets involved."

"It's okay, you can tell me with confidence that I will never disclose it to anyone, and I will keep my mouth shut!" Belinda clung to Cangling's arm tightly.

Hearing this, Cang Ling remembered what Wolff said to her before leaving: "Whether to tell Donna's parents the truth is up to you to judge."

"Please, tell me what happened to Donna? Where is she now?" Belinda burst into tears.

Seeing Belinda's expression, Cang Ling couldn't bear it for a while, she hesitated for a long time, and replied: "Let me tell you, Donna is infected with a certain virus. This virus will not kill her, but it will make her die. Lost her mind. We left her somewhere for safety. Of course, she wasn't left there alone, in fact she had a companion with her."

"Where is she? What's wrong with her? I'm going to see her!"

"Ma'am, you may never see Donna in your life." Cang Ling said in a low voice.

"What's the meaning?"

"Because Donna... is no longer a human. The place she is in is not a place where humans can set foot."
