He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Old man Shangguan!"

The old man with the broken leg, leaning on a cane, glared fiercely at Shangguan Zheng, his eyes as ruthless as a wolf's.

"After I'm gone, if you dare let even an inch of the 9527 defense line fall, I'll haunt you even in death! I curse you to never have a seasoning packet when you eat instant noodles!!"

After saying that, he gripped the steel cane that had been with him for many years, and with all his might, he stabbed it fiercely into his heart!

"Pfft!"

The cane pierced through his chest, the old man's body jolted, and he slowly fell to the ground, as if relieved of a great burden.

A sense of tragic grandeur quickly spread.

"Haha! Brother! I'm useless! I didn't avenge you last time... In the next life, I'll stand in front of you!"

A soldier, severely burned and wrapped in bandages like a mummy, roared hoarsely before rupturing his own heart.

A chain reaction has begun.

Those soldiers who were almost incapacitated, unwilling to endure inhuman suffering every day, were the first to choose to carry out this cruel "order".

They did not question or resist, because the idea that "soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders" was ingrained in their very being.

Even if the order were to charge into the demon horde and self-destruct, they would not hesitate!

However, not everyone is like that.

"Shangguan Zheng!"

The irritable old man with only one eye stared intently at Shangguan Zheng, a flame of resentment burning in his single eye.

"I can die! But I can't die here in such a miserable state!"

I still have two hands, I can still wield a sword! Send me to the front lines! Send me to the place with the most demons!

I'm going to drag one down with me! No, two of them! I'm going to die a worthy death!

"Yes! General! We want to go too!"

"We're not afraid of dying! We just don't want to die such a pathetic death!"

"Soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom, there are no cowards! If we're going to die, we'll die on the road to battle!"

"Take us to the battlefield! Let's make one last kill!"

The soldiers who were still able to move shouted excitedly. They were not afraid of dying, but only of dying in vain!

They would rather give their last lives to exchange one for one with the demon!

"you……"

Shangguan Zheng looked down at the unyielding faces below, and his eyes instantly reddened.

These bastards... They usually curse him the most, but when it really matters, they're the ones who trust him the most!

This unconditional trust warmed his heart and choked him up.

Zanglong, Miaotiaojun, and everyone else were deeply shocked by this scene.

They were filled with awe for the soldiers' decisiveness!

This is the true spirit of a soldier!

Lu Chen's mind raced, and he locked onto the soldiers who were already "dead".

"resurrection!"

A soft green light shone!

Under countless astonished gazes, a miracle occurred!

The gruesome wound healed quickly, and the scars faded!

Gray hair turned black, and loose skin became firm and elastic again!

The eschar from the burns peeled off, revealing new skin!

The bluish-black complexion from the poisoning quickly regained its rosy color!

Even the scent of an old person whose lifespan has ended suddenly becomes vibrant again, like a withered tree coming back to life!

In just a few breaths, the green light dissipated.

A group of handsome men and beautiful women, full of vigor and vitality, appeared!

They sat up blankly, looking at their perfectly intact bodies, clenching their fists, and lifting their legs in disbelief!

"This...this is..."

"My legs... my legs are back?!"

"My hands! My eyes! I can see again?!"

"My injuries...are completely healed?"

"Is this a dream?"

Exclamations rang out.

However, their "resurrection" terrified the soldiers in the square who hadn't yet "committed suicide"!

Many of the younger soldiers, in particular, were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

"A ghost! A ghost!!"

"Old Wang?! Is that you, Old Wang?! How... how did you become like this?!"

"Old Wang, if you've turned into a ghost, don't come looking for us. Go find the demons and monsters; they're the ones who killed you..."

"I'm all better... I'm really completely healed! You can feel it if you don't believe me!"

Old Wang excitedly waved his newly grown arm and strode forward.

"Don't come any closer! Get out! Get away now!"

Unexpectedly, his action frightened the young soldiers who were huddled together, causing them to retreat and turn pale.

"Back off! Back off! Back off! Stay away from us!"

One of the bolder soldiers even started gesturing wildly with his hands and chanting incantations, seemingly performing a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, demons and monsters, begone! May the heroic souls rest in peace..."

However, this rudimentary ritual was clearly ineffective; Old Wang remained alive and well standing before them.

Ahead, those young and old men who had just been cursing Shangguan Zheng...

They finally realized what was happening.

He looked at Shangguan Zheng, who had also become younger, with a shocked expression.

"You old scoundrel Shangguan...you...you're not pretending to be young...you've really become younger?!"

The former one-eyed youth's voice trembled.

"certainly!"

Shangguan Zheng finally got his moment of triumph, his back ramrod straight.

With a hint of smugness on his face, he raised his hand and solemnly pointed to Lu Chen beside him.

"This is all thanks to my uncle!"

"Is it really him?!"

"This...this ability is too amazing! It's almost like something out of a myth!"

The "old men" who had become younger were collectively shocked, and their gazes toward Lu Chen instantly turned fervent.

"My benefactor...my greatest benefactor!!"

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly.

The group of veterans who had just been cursing Shangguan Zheng were instantly moved to tears.

In a flash, they all swarmed around Lu Chen, grabbing his arms and shoulders with all their might, their excitement making them incoherent.

"My benefactor! Thank you so much!!"

"If it weren't for you, we old fogies might have just died a miserable death in our hospital beds, riddled with injuries and illnesses!!"

"Thank you for giving us a second life!"

"My benefactor!"

Lu Chen was surrounded by this group of excited "youths," whose enthusiasm almost suffocated him.

"Seniors! Seniors! Please don't do this! Let go! I should be thanking you!"

He hurriedly explained,

"It is because of your bloodshed and sacrifice on the front lines that we have peace and tranquility in the rear!"

Only then could I grow up peacefully in the orphanage, and only then would I have the opportunity to successfully awaken...

You are the real heroes!

"My benefactor...you...you're an orphan?"

Hearing this, the softest part of these men's hearts was instantly touched, and their eyes reddened even more.

"My benefactor is so pitiful..."

"Don't worry! From now on, we're your family!!"

"That's right! Anyone who dares to bully you is going against our entire 'Iron Blood Battalion'! We'll beat them until they shit themselves!!"

"Even if that old bastard Shangguan Zheng dares to bully you, we'll still beat him up!!"

The one-eyed youth glared fiercely at Shangguan Zheng, who had been pushed aside.

Shangguan Zheng felt a pang of shame and muttered to himself:

"How could I possibly bully my precious uncle? I'm too busy protecting him!"

Besides, you bunch of bastards, if I hadn't risked everything to beg you, would you even have this chance to come back from the dead?!

Of course, he only dared to mutter these words to himself, while still having to put on a smile.

"Hehe, it seems my husband is going to be treated like a precious treasure."

Bibi Dong looked at Lu Chen, who was being "overwhelmed" by a group of enthusiastic men, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"As expected, the boss is the boss; wherever he goes, he's the absolute center of attention!"

Miao Tiaojun looked at Lu Chen, who was being fawned over by everyone, with envy, and couldn't help but fantasize in his heart:

"If only I could have the boss's incredible abilities..."

Hehe, I must get the government to assign me 365 wives, one a day, and a different one every day...
