Just at three o'clock that afternoon, a few soldiers who had intercepted nuclear warheads with a shuttle returned to the Time of the Earth Era from the surface. These soldiers received a hero's welcome!
Crowds of people blocked the entrance of the residential area, spontaneously greeting the returning heroes.
Their enthusiasm was akin to an honor guard, and even though flowers inside the spaceship were extremely expensive, they sold out crazily fast!
The award ceremony for "First-Class Heroes" and "Second-Class Heroes" was quite solemn. It was not only a commendation for meritorious soldiers but also an inspiring war mobilization, so a large number of common people were allowed to attend.
