Lin Zihan felt like his whole body was falling apart. The pain was so severe that he couldn't exert any strength.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I was in a ward. There was a bouquet of white jasmine flowers placed beside the bed. Through the open window, gusts of breeze blew in, making the forest feel lazy.
"You're awake." A gentle female voice sounded in Lin Zihan's ears.
Lin Zihan wanted to turn around to see who it was, but found that his neck was tied up and he couldn't move at all.
"Don't move." The girl said anxiously, telling Lin Zihan not to struggle, "so as not to disturb the wound."
"My name is Kexin, and I am your personal nurse." The girl introduced herself and stretched her hand to Lin Zihan's face. "I will take off the holographic glasses for you now and do a comprehensive examination."
Lin Zihan only saw a pair of slender hands passing in front of his eyes, and then all he was left with was a mist. Fortunately, it was not pitch black.
I recall that when I first lost my sight, my eyes were completely dark. Now I seem to be able to see some faint light. It seems that my vision is really slowly recovering. Lin Zihan also felt happy in his heart.
Soon, the comprehensive physical examination was over. Ke Xin carefully put on the holographic glasses for Lin Zihan, leaned over and checked to see if they were worn correctly. "The examination is over, I'll put on your glasses."
When Lin Zihan opened his eyes, he saw a pure and refined melon-seed face, a beautiful face, a small cherry mouth, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a thin and straight nose, and he looked at Lin Zihan with blinking eyes.
The thin breath had blown onto Lin Zihan's face, which was more intoxicating than the breeze.
"Okay, have a good rest. Your attending doctor will come to check on your recovery in half an hour." After Kexin finished speaking, she pushed a cart full of medicines, walked out, and gently closed the door.
The room became quiet again, and Lin Zihan began to think about what happened that night.
I only remembered that I, Yuan Shu, and Xia Ming were fighting against the ferocious beast. The instructors from behind rushed to support them. The exhausted people were holding on while a very powerful beam of light shot across the sky.
A huge explosion exploded in his ears, a wave of heat hit his face, and a strong air current swept through the entire battlefield. Lin Zihan saw a raging fire, coming straight towards him and knocking him to the ground.
Lin Zihan had no memory of what happened after that. The beam was more like the beam of a shaped cannon, but the violent explosion and sky-high fire were far greater than that of a shaped cannon.
I don't know what happened that night. Under the shock wave, Lin Zihan saw the ruins around him when he was unconscious. All the buildings collapsed, and then he passed out.
In a coma, Lin Zihan returned to the orphanage where he had not returned for a long time, and met Sister Nan, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Remembering that he hadn't dreamed about that scene for a long time since he fell into coma due to pain in the Security Bureau, Lin Zihan gradually forgot about it, but he didn't expect that he would dream about it this time.
"Sister Nan, where are you?" Although Lin Zihan didn't seem to have that part in his memory, the scene in the dream was so clear, as if it really happened, so Sister Nan must be someone in this world of her own. relatives.
Recalling the features of the girl I saw in my dream, I seemed to have seen her somewhere, but I couldn’t remember who it was.
Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Zihan was sore all over. He wanted to move, but the pain was even worse, so he had to keep lying in the same position.
Time passes the slowest when people have nothing to do. Half an hour, to Lin Zihan, feels like a year has passed, long and torturous.
"It's nothing serious. Everything is normal. It's just that the impact was too great and I fainted. There are no fractures or internal injuries." After saying this, the attending doctor left. There were still many people waiting in the military hospital. As for him.
Ke Xin walked in and helped Lin Zihan shake the bed. Lin Zihan was still leaning on the bed. In addition to pain, he felt stiff from being bandaged.
The holographic projection TV was turned on, and a ray of light shone on the wall. The clear picture seemed as real as being played out in front of one's eyes.
"Are you mute because you don't speak?" Ke Xin looked at Lin Zihan and blinked. Those big, watery eyes were so charming.
The room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of news lingering in the room, playing internal military news.
"The day before yesterday, the Northern Military Region carried out a mission to encircle and suppress ferocious beasts. Three instructors, 18 trainees, and 172 soldiers were sacrificed." In the news, an intelligent AI explained sadly, looking at the photos on the screen.
"Instructor Wu..." Lin Zihan choked and mumbled three words, and then he didn't speak again, but tears welled up in his eyes.
"Cry if you want!" Ke Xin took a pack of tissue paper, pulled out a few sheets, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "After all, you are also human beings. You will also be sad when you lose your friends, comrades, and instructors."
There was still silence, and only the news continued to play in the room. Lin Zihan held back the tears in the corners of his eyes and did not cry.
The tears in the corners of his eyes were taken back by Lin Zihan again. Lin Zihan, who had experienced death, already understood that crying was useless. Tears were just water with salt added, and they had no use except consuming water in the body.
I can’t replace Instructor Wu, I can’t replace all the people who died on the battlefield.
The spring breeze outside the window blew the curtains, blew into the house, blew over Lin Zihan's face, and blew into Lin Zihan's heart. It turned into a little drizzle and fell into Lin Zihan's dry soul.
"Is there a lot of news like this every day?" Lin Zihan asked. He rarely pays attention to the news on weekdays, and he has no time to pay attention in the training camp.
"What did you say? Is there anyone like this who has been sacrificed?" Ke Xin put away the tears in the corners of her eyes, calmed down, and looked at Lin Zihan.
Lin Zihan didn't speak, just nodded.
"Not much before, but a lot recently. The hospital has been very busy recently. Many people are sent here every day. You are so busy that you even arranged for me to be your dedicated nurse." Kexin pouted her little mouth, which was really cute, like It was as if he had suffered a great grievance.
His eyes were filled with hatred and displeasure towards Lin Zihan, and he directed all his displeasure on Lin Zihan. "Isn't this a waste of resources?"
Lin Zihan turned his head with difficulty and looked out the window, avoiding Ke Xin's angry eyes.
"Why were you injured?" But seeing that Lin Zihan seemed angry, he felt that his words were too harsh, so he asked softly.
After a long silence, Lin Zi said coldly: "I am the one who survived that battle." After saying that, the room fell into silence again, and there was still only the sound of the news, which continued to be broadcast.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have vented my anger on you." Ke Xin said, picking up a banana from the fruit bowl, peeling it carefully, and handed it to Lin Zihan.
Lin Zihan turned around and was about to say it was okay, but when he saw the banana, his stomach began to growl.
"Pfft haha~" The melancholy on Kexin's face swept away, and she couldn't help but laugh. Lin Zihan's lips turned up slightly and he also laughed.
"Eat it quickly!" Kexin passed the banana forward, almost reaching Lin Zihan's mouth, but Lin Zihan still appreciated it and remained motionless.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Lin Zihan rolled his eyes and looked at his bandaged arms. It would be difficult to even lift them, let alone catching the bananas.
Kexin followed Lin Zihan's gaze and looked at Lin Zihan's hand, "Then let me feed you!" After saying that, she gently climbed onto Lin Zihan's bed and sat at the end of Lin Zihan's bed, holding a banana in her right hand. Passed it to Lin Zihan's mouth.
"It's so sweet." Lin Zihan couldn't help but say something, whether it was because he was too hungry, the banana was too sweet, or the person who fed the banana was too sweet.
Just like that, a banana was quickly eaten, and Lin Zihan's growling stomach finally calmed down.
"Are you still eating?" Ke Xin watched Lin Zihan finish the banana and even squeaked back. She couldn't help but smile, thinking about these warriors who were all-powerful on the battlefield.
He is just a big boy in his twenties, not much different from himself in age. It's just that the responsibilities on their shoulders have turned them into cold people, and they can't help them enjoy a peaceful life.
"No." Lin Zihan really couldn't eat it, and he was not in the mood to eat it. He was really too hungry for the one he just had, and a girl had already peeled it off, so he couldn't refuse it.
"You're living a good life!" The door to the ward was pushed open, and a hot-tempered woman walked in. You didn't need to look to know that Instructor Ling was here.
"Instructor Ling." Lin Zihan thought about getting up and giving a military salute. The movement of his body made you feel heartbreaking pain and he leaned back again.
"Okay, okay, I don't have so many rules." Ling Fangyuan motioned to Lin Zhi to lie down quietly, glanced at a little girl sitting on the bed, and smiled meaningfully.
"You know it." Seeing that what was being broadcast on the news was about that night, Ling Fangyuan said nothing more, "Sorry, these things often happen in the training camp." After Ling Fangyuan finished speaking, her face showed bitterness.
"I'm here to tell you that a mourning meeting will be held next week for the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives under the beast tide in the past few months, and for all the people who have sacrificed their lives in this battle. Then you can come and participate!"
Lin Zihan just nodded without saying anything, and there was still a lingering gloom on his face.
"I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll leave first." After a few simple greetings and asking about Lin Zihan's physical condition, Ling Fangyuan left in a hurry, as if her butt was burning.
Looking at Ling Fangyuan's leaving figure, Lin Zihan seemed to have thought of something. He should have guessed it, but he didn't want his guess to be right.
"Your instructors are so young." Looking at Ling Fangyuan walking out of the door, Kexin couldn't help but sigh. She always thought that only older people would serve as instructors in the military.
But the instructor with long fiery red hair just now looked very young, probably not a few years older than himself. It just looks familiar, as if I've seen it before, but I can't remember it.
