Burial for peace, that's the Chinese custom, especially valued by the rural generations.
As for the burial of the two Wangs, old Lin hadn't ignored it. The reason he didn't mention it at the meeting was mainly not to dampen everyone's spirits.
After all, the issue with the City Management Bureau had already exhausted the team members, and being struck by sorrow again wouldn't be beneficial for the upcoming actions.
But now that Wei Yang had already brought it up, he didn't need to hide it anymore and candidly said, "For old Wang and Daguo, I originally planned to go out on my own and dig a pit to bury them, because to me, these two people, one is my lifesaver, and the other is my brother. As for why I didn't inform everyone, the main reason is..."
"Enough! Old Lin!" Before Lin Junfu could finish, Wang Qiang had already raised his large hands high, simultaneously making a stopping gesture: "I'm saying, old Lin, you're handling this too poorly. What do you mean you and brother Daguo are brothers? Oh, so we're all damned outsiders, huh? Don't forget, brother Daguo has also been on missions with me; we have been through life-and-death situations together as brothers! Talk about digging pits yourself to bury them, it seems like you're intentionally making your brothers look bad!"
As soon as he finished talking, Wang Qiang irritably wiped his head, showing he was truly angered by Lin Junfu's self-righteous idea.
Old Lin also deeply felt apologetic, appearing somewhat at a loss for a moment.
In the end, the elder Zhao played the role of peacemaker, after all, everyone's intentions here were good; as long as they can bury the two Wangs smoothly, their goal would be achieved.
After making personnel adjustments once again, except for Wang Qiang, Dazhuang, Wu Chao, and Lin Junfu preparing for the burial of the two Wangs, the rest were arranged in various corners of the factory area to plan for the next departure.
In fact, when talking about planning, it's really about gathering resources. However, after Lu Rui and his group plundered "Zhongkun Textile", it's clear that there is not much of "practical value" left.
If excluding those fabrics and clothes, perhaps only the few medicines hidden by Wei Yang in the corner of the conference room deserve the word "resources".
Of course, calling those medicines "hidden" isn't quite appropriate. After all, the reason Wei Yang took such action was mainly because they mostly couldn't see the light of day.
So, no one expected that the reason these remaining drugs escaped destruction in the end was due to their inherent traits.
Wei Yang carefully placed each medication into her backpack, knowing well the value of these medicines in the post-apocalypse as a medical staff.
Frankly speaking, each of them means a lifeline's "redemption."
Therefore, many times, Wei Yang didn't simply view them as cold medicines but as the "light of life" carrying the weight of lives.
After finishing packing, Wei Yang carefully zipped up her backpack, took a few specially kept pieces of medicine, and went back downstairs.
As for the few separately taken medications, they were mainly prepared for Hu Xiaodong and Zhao Huilong.
Because when she was alone with Tang Xiaoquan, the latter had already explained to her the conditions of the two.
Especially Hu Xiaodong, Wei Yang even specifically asked old Lin about how he treated the latter's injury.
And after listening to the detailed description, Wei Yang, in shock, broke out in a cold sweat.
After all, regardless, it was a surgery, and whether big or small, it should be conducted in a sterile environment.
But given the situation at the time, Wei Yang knew old Lin had done his best.
So right now her task was to provide necessary antibiotics to Hu Xiaodong as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, many of the medicines were looted by Lu Rui and his gang, especially the "tetanus" vaccine crucial for tool cuts.
This was undoubtedly essential for Hu Xiaodong at the moment.
Though there are currently no signs indicating he has been infected with tetanus from the knife wound, better safe than sorry.
Helplessly, without the right medicine, Wei Yang could only settle for second best, using oral antibiotics and intravenous infusion to enhance Hu Xiaodong's resistance, hoping to reduce his chances of infection.
Outside the main entrance, old Lin and others had already chosen the "burial for peace" location for old Wang and Daguo, facing directly the factory gates, surrounded by green hills and trees, with the sun shining brightly.
Using old Lin's words, even if they went to the other side, they should be able to see the place where they once lived and fought.
The excavation continued for more than 20 minutes, with four people working in pairs, proceeding quite smoothly.
Once everything was finished, the group together wrapped the bodies of the two Wangs neatly in fabric and carried them to the grave in front.
At this moment, all the members of the Survivor Team gathered in front of the grave; even Hu Xiaodong, who had difficulty moving, insisted on climbing onto the vehicle to participate in this last farewell ceremony.
Considering the urgency of time, adhering to detailed funeral customs was impossible, so old Lin and Dazhuang placed the bodies of the two Wangs into the pit in turn. After a brief moment of silence with heads bowed, each person stepped forward to sprinkle a handful of soil, simultaneously saying:
"Two brothers, have a good journey! When you reach there, live happily!"
"Due to circumstances, this funeral appears a bit simple, but don't hold it against us, two brothers; when order is restored, we'll definitely come back to erect a monument and perform the rites for you again."
"Brother Daguo, Factory Director Wang, rest assured, we hold your grudge in our hearts. We will definitely find those damned beasts, we will surely use their blood to honor you!!"
...
With the words of tribute finished, everyone once again collectively filled the grave pit, and in the end, old Lin earnestly inserted two wooden tombstones specially made by Dazhuang into the grave soil.
Meanwhile, Wei Yang also took out the carefully picked flowers, adding some color to these two newly erected lonely graves.
The mourning ceremony came to an end here, and with everything ready, it was time for the Survivor Team to bid farewell to "Zhongkun Textile".
In truth, at this juncture, even the strongest men could hardly avoid feeling a bit sad.
After all, this place has carried so many memories, and leaving just like this, the sense of melancholy and discomfort is truly hard to put into words.
The sun continued to shine brilliantly and warmly, and under its light, the city management vehicle carrying the survivors slowly drove away from the factory area.
Behind them, two raised lonely graves stood watching, resembling a farewell procession.
There's just the question of what awaits the survivors next? Perhaps only heaven knows.....
