Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1096 - 1096 One Thousand and Seventy-Nine Heart Disease

1096: Chapter One Thousand and Seventy-Nine: Heart Disease 1096: Chapter One Thousand and Seventy-Nine: Heart Disease Farewell dinner was already held, and contact information has been exchanged.

It was only awaiting the burial of Alcohol before Gao Yang’s gathered mercenaries would disperse.

But there was a problem with the selection of Alcohol’s gravesite.

Alcohol was a man of faith, and people of faith have certain requirements for their funerals and burial sites, so Gao Yang still had to find a suitable gravesite for Alcohol.

It wasn’t that Gao Yang was being fussy; after all, Alcohol was his comrade-in-arms and a decent person.

It seemed worthwhile to put in some effort so that the brothers who had lived with Alcohol could have a place to visit him later.

After searching all over Damascus, there really wasn’t a suitable grave for Alcohol.

It was no problem to bury him in a random place, but in a few years, the gravesite would become unrecognizable.

Moreover, with Syria’s uncertain situation, should the Rebel Army take over Syria, it would be odd if Alcohol’s gravesite, marked by a cross, were not destroyed.

Therefore, in the end, Gao Yang had no choice but to decide to send Alcohol’s body, along with those departing, to Lebanon; Lebanon had suitable gravesites for Alcohol.

Burying Alcohol there would allow Gale and Rubik’s Cube to visit him in the future.

Dealing with such complications for a body was because Gao Yang didn’t want to leave any regrets, nor did he want Gale, Rubik’s Cube, and Aimer to have any.

Generally, being a mercenary doesn’t come with such concerns; these people don’t even care about their own lives, let alone what happens after they die.

While alive, they would enjoy their earnings fully.

Upon death, whatever happens happens; if their brothers can manage their bodies, that’s good.

If conditions allow, they are buried in a graveyard, and if not, just dig a hole and bury them.

If no one cares, let the bodies be left by the roadside to turn into bones, or just throw them somewhere, whatever happens happens.

In Libya, Glolov personally killed his best friend, Ivan, then left the body unattended, and immediately went to rescue Morgan with Gao Yang and Cui Bo.

This way of handling bodies was the most common among mercenaries.

It’s not that Glolov was heartless or not particular; Ivan’s body was buried under the rubble.

Given Glolov’s desperate circumstances at that time, it was impossible to dig Ivan’s body out from Benghazi’s war-torn situation and bury him appropriately.

According to Gao Yang’s nature, when a comrade dies, the body should be dealt with properly, no matter the difficulty, but efforts must be made to provide a dignified funeral.

It can’t be helped, Huaxia people care a lot about posthumous affairs.

If conditions are lacking, nothing can be done, but if conditions allow, they must do their best.

Thus, he and Satan’s men went through great trouble and finally buried Bruce in his family’s graveyard.

Gao Yang knew that whenever Glolov remembered Ivan, he would feel distressed for a long time, and abandoning Ivan’s body was a matter of great guilt for him.

True comrades, who would give their lives for each other, and after one dies, not even knowing where the body ended up, making it impossible to lay flowers or talk at the grave, how could Glolov not be heartbroken?

Gao Yang also had his regrets; his half-day teacher Fedor, and his friend of half a day, Malik, also died without knowing their final outcomes.

Fedor taught Gao Yang only a little, but it truly affected Gao Yang’s entire life.

Gao Yang’s accomplishments today owe much to Fedor’s significant contributions.

Put simply, Fedor was Gao Yang’s mentor who transformed his knowledge of sport shooting into combat shooting suitable for the battlefield, and laid the foundation for Gao Yang’s shooting practices.

Half a day was not much, but it was enough for Fedor to pass on his experience to Gao Yang, allowing him to slowly understand and grasp it.

And not only was Fedor Gao Yang’s half-day mentor, but also his buddy that transcended age differences.

Gao Yang always cherished Fedor’s kindness and could never forget the friendship they shared for just half a day.

Unable to bury Fedor and Malik and instead leaving their bodies on public display, the sight of Fedor and Malik’s bodies hanged at the doorway was too painful for Gao Yang to even think about; it made his heart ache whenever he did.

Since Alcohol was to be buried in Lebanon, Gao Yang and the others could not attend the funeral, but that was a trivial matter now.

The people were dead, and having one more or one less attendee at the funeral really did not matter.

The body of Alcohol was moved out of the morgue refrigerator into a coffin, then taken by helicopter to the airport and placed on the plane to Lebanon.

Gao Yang and Satan, along with their people, accompanied Alcohol all the way to the airport.

Syria had essentially taken control of Lebanon, especially the Syrian Military Intelligence Directorate, whose power in Lebanon was even stronger than inside Syria itself.

With Dani’s assistance, Alcohol’s posthumous arrangements were appropriately handled.

Having spent over a month together, and suddenly parting, Gao Yang truly felt reluctant to leave.

However, this is the norm for mercenaries; reuniting again is uncertain, and it’s not guaranteed whether they might be on opposite sides of a battle, potentially changing from friends to enemies.

Watching the airplane take off, Dani waved at Gao Yang, saying, “Let’s go, it’s time to head back.

Something might happen today, we better just stay and wait at the airport.”

Gao Yang also waved his hand, saying, “Let’s leave, go back.”

Among those who came to send off Alcohol were Gilanor and Farouk.

Farouk had not been at the airport these days; he had been called to report to Marshall and had just returned to the airport when he followed the helicopter to send off Alcohol.

As they turned to walk towards where the helicopter was parked, Farouk spoke in a heavy tone, “Colonel, are you also leaving?

When are you departing?”

Gao Yang spread his hands, saying, “It’s not certain yet, but maybe in a couple of days.

The situation with Huang Huo is unstable, and Dragon Knight has been helping in the hospital.

Now that Huang Huo has gotten through the critical period, we’ll wait a couple more days to see how things are.

If we can leave together with Rubik’s Cube and Huang Huo, then we’ll go together.

If not, then we’ll wait for Dragon Knight to leave first.”

Farouk seemed a bit downcast, sighed, and said, “Alright, I hope we still have the chance to meet in the future.”

Gao Yang patted Farouk on the shoulder, smiling, “There will definitely be another opportunity to meet.

We might very likely come back here, and when we do, we’ll continue fighting side by side.

Also, wait for the war to end.

Once it’s over and we win, we’ll surely meet again.”

Farouk silently nodded.

Just then, Dani’s phone rang.

He fell a few steps behind, took the call, and then hurried forward, whispering urgently, “We need to hurry back; there are people waiting for us at the airport, something big’s coming.”

Gao Yang whispered, “What happened?”

Dani smiled, softly saying, “We need to go back and get ready.

We’re preparing a victory celebration!

All members!

Everyone who participated in the final battle will be honored!”(To be continued.
