Chapter 2485: Enduring Humiliation and Burden

From the time 390 could remember, his father used practical actions to let him understand that the fate of dead soldiers was so difficult, but every generation was still living tenaciously and multiplying, and the purpose was only one, which was to hope that their bloodline could eventually break the shackles of the Anti-Qing Society one day in the future and truly win freedom.

And there were several mountains blocking this goal, and the first mountain that needed to be crossed was the deadly poison that occurred regularly in the body.

This kind of poison really had no reason to talk about.

No matter how hard so many dead soldiers and so many generations of people worked, they had no way to resolve this strange deadly poison.

Although 390 had always kept his father's earnest teachings in mind, he also knew very well in his heart that this was simply not something he could accomplish.

He even pinned his hope on his son, and even his son's son in the future.

Just like the psychology of dead soldiers of all generations: although he could not break this layer of shackles, his son and his future son would definitely have a chance. As long as they could realize this wish in the future, he could die with a smile.

And he never thought that when he swallowed the antidote given by Ye Chen, he could feel a special force spreading rapidly in his body, and then it merged with the deadly poison in his body.

Immediately after, the antidote and the deadly poison seemed to have some kind of chemical reaction, and both disappeared without a trace.

If the deadly poison was originally an iron chain in 390's body that flesh and blood could not resist, then this antidote was like a strong acid specifically for dissolving iron chains but having no effect on flesh and blood, directly melting this lock into nothingness!

At this time, all the dead soldiers and their families were staring at 390.

The huge scene was almost silent, and everyone held their breath, anxiously waiting for the feedback from 390.

More than ten seconds later, 390, who had been like being fixed by a body-fixing technique, suddenly had two lines of hot tears gushing out from his closed eyes.

In this hall where a needle could be heard, one could even hear the sound of his tears dripping to the ground one by one.

At this time, 390 suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Ye Chen with tears in his eyes, didn't say a word, but bowed deeply to him respectfully, and it was a long kowtow that didn't get up.

At this moment, all the dead soldiers and their families understood.

Ye Chen's antidote must have solved the poison in 390's body, otherwise he would not have suddenly performed such a worship ceremony.

And at this time, 390 was prostrate on the ground, his body already uncontrollably trembling violently.

Ye Chen looked at him and asked loudly, "390, how do you feel?"

390 slowly raised his head, excitedly but more gratefully and respectfully said, "Reporting to Sir... the deadly poison in my body... has already disappeared without a trace..."

As soon as this was said, the thousands of people around were shocked, and the excitement was already overflowing on everyone's face.

390 turned his head to look at the dead soldiers and families on both sides and behind him, turned his head to look at Ye Chen, cupped his hands above his head, and shouted loudly, "Sir! You are a person with great supernatural powers! We dead soldiers have been enslaved by the Anti-Qing Society for hundreds of years, have not seen the sun for hundreds of years, and are living in misery. I beg you to help us get out of the sea of suffering. We are willing to follow you for the rest of our lives and follow your lead!"

After speaking, he bowed and kowtowed again!

A group of people also immediately followed and kowtowed, shouting in their mouths, "We are willing to be loyal to you for the rest of our lives and follow your lead!"

The shouting of thousands of people made the entire underground feel a bit trembling.

Ye Chen could hear that their voices carried extreme urgency and longing.

Getting rid of the shackles of the Anti-Qing Society was the greatest wish of everyone of them, and their ancestors for hundreds of years.

Now, this wish of more than ten generations finally had a chance to be realized.

Ye Chen looked at the firm and excited appearance of the crowd, and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water, saying, "Being loyal to me means you must be an enemy of the Anti-Qing Society. You are now controlled by the Anti-Qing Society, but you can still live here. If you are an enemy of the Anti-Qing Society, you may all face life-threatening dangers. So, have you considered it?"

This time, thousands of people didn't wait for 390 to take the lead.

They shouted in unison, "Considered!"

Ye Chen asked again, "You have considered it, to be an enemy of the Anti-Qing Society, right?"

The crowd shouted again, "Right!"

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said indifferently, "Before I came down, I had reached a cooperation agreement with all the Cavalry Guards. Before the Anti-Qing Society is eliminated, they obey my orders and are loyal to me. After the Anti-Qing Society is eliminated, they can gain complete freedom! Since you are willing to be loyal to me, this cooperation is the same for you! The day the Anti-Qing Society is pulled out by the roots is the day you dead soldiers gain freedom!"

Hearing that they could gain freedom, all the dead soldiers were moved to tears.

They originally thought that the condition for Ye Chen to detoxify them was that they had to be used by Ye Chen for the rest of their lives.

But even so, they would agree without hesitation, because in that case, although they would have to work for Ye Chen for the rest of their lives, without the deadly poison in their bodies, their descendants would not have to look at anyone's face and could become truly free people.

Sacrificing this generation to seek freedom for their descendants was naturally something they would do without hesitation.

But what they didn't expect was that Ye Chen didn't intend to use this opportunity to control the rest of their lives.

This meant that not only their descendants could have freedom, but after the Anti-Qing Society was destroyed, they could also have it!

And Ye Chen's behavior also formed a sharp contrast with the Anti-Qing Society's generations of controlling dead soldiers.

Thus, a group of people almost regarded Ye Chen as a savior.

Seeing that the crowd had sincerely surrendered, Ye Chen asked people to distribute the prepared antidote.

And at this time, more than three thousand people were still kneeling on the ground, waiting for the antidote piously.

Everyone respectfully held their hands above their heads, and when the antidote was distributed to their hands, they took the pill with both hands.

However, they didn't take the antidote immediately, but subconsciously waited until everyone had received the antidote one after another before taking it together with others around them.

The scene fell into dead silence again.

Ten seconds later, there were faint sobs at the scene.

That was because some people were too excited to control their inner emotions, and were lying on the ground trying their best to control their crying.

And soon someone couldn't control it anymore, and the whole person burst into tears.

Even more, a family hugged together and cried endlessly.

Someone even knelt on the ground and shouted, "Ancestors, do you see it in the spirit of heaven?! We don't have to be controlled by the evil poison of the Anti-Qing Society anymore! You must bless us in the spirit of heaven, follow the gentleman to eliminate the Anti-Qing Society, and avenge our ancestors!"

These words immediately resonated with the crowd, and everyone began to kneel on the ground and secretly make wishes to their respective ancestors.

Ye Chen saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "These dead soldiers have endured humiliation and burden far beyond ordinary people. What they have endured is two or three hundred years of humiliation and the weight of more than ten generations! After promising them freedom today, I believe they will definitely become the most loyal troops when destroying the Anti-Qing Society in the future!"

ps:

Everyone, I am really, really sorry, because I was unfortunately infected with COVID recently, and the symptoms were quite serious. I was burning in bed for several days and couldn't get out of bed at all, so I haven't been able to update for the past few days. Today, I finally broke the fever, but the cough is still very severe, and the sore throat is indescribable. I will try my best to restore my body and updates. I also hope everyone can pay attention to protection! ===== CHAPTER 2486 =====
