Lang Hua once again ran to both sides of the experimental table, wandering around and searching around.
Zhang Cheng, wearing an academician uniform, looked at him dumbfounded: "You are so old, why are you still rummaging around like a child when you enter my laboratory..."
"Let me see if you have hidden sister Xinyan's underwear."
"..."
"Hey, why did you hit me? If I didn't, there wouldn't be anything. Sister Xinyan was just mumbling whether a wild dog from the back mountain had picked it up." Lang Hua covered his head and kept telling lies. of.
Academician Zhang Cheng, who was known for his gentleness and courtesy, now had black lines on his head and an expression of embarrassment on his face and roared: "Even if a dog picks it up, I won't take it away. That person's things, I...I It’s not rare!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhang Cheng noticed someone standing at the door.
At this time, Chen Xinyan, who was leaning at the door, stamped out the cigarette butts under her feet and said, "Okay, if you are so disgusted with me, I will apply to the organization for transfer."
"No, Xin...Xinyan, no, no, no, Academician Chen. I didn't mean that in my words."
Lang Hua covered his face, thinking that he had done something wrong, and hurriedly caught up and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing, Sister Xinyan, and... Brother Zhang hates people smoking near his laboratory, you... You even put out your cigarette butts on the floor. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have made up lies..."
Walking far away, Chen Xinyan rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think he is angry?"
"Angry, not really, but quite panicked."
"Ah, this idiot." After saying that, she took out another cigarette and lit it. The red lips opened slightly, and another smoke ring floated out.
Lang Hua looked at her and frowned: "Why are you twitching again?"
At this time, Chen Xinyan glanced at him: "Melancholy, can't you?"
——
From the fourth year of the Catastrophic Calendar to the sixth year of the Catastrophic Calendar, Lang Hua was ordered to assist in research at the Nata Mountain Scientific Research Base. Thinking about it now, those few years were probably the most stable period in his twenty-nine years of life.
After that, as the invaders' puppet weapons launched one after another, countless lone evolvers and small bases were slaughtered. The mastermind behind the scenes did not hide his ambition at all, and the situation around the world became increasingly turbulent.
For Qin Xiaowen's safety, the Qin family unilaterally stopped the research on her. And even if she still stays in the Nata Mountain base, she will never see Lang Hua again.
As early as three months ago, Second Lieutenant Lang Hua received an order to set off immediately to assist his comrades who were fighting hard somewhere in Huaibei Province.
No one would have thought that that meeting in the park three months ago would actually represent a separation of three and a half years.
After the collaborative company in the eastern theater of Huaibei Province repelled the puppet army, Lang Hua did not return to this peaceful place as promised.
At the end of the year, the Star Thief army suddenly retreated, but under the surface of peace, there was brewing of a bigger attack.
As early as four years after the end of the world, the Star Thieves group suddenly took action. Alien puppet armies airborne all over the surface, hunting high-level black beasts, black corpses, and human evolvers at the same time.
This action, which was later called the "First Great Harvest", lasted until the sixth year of the end of the world.
During this period, the Star Thieves' puppet weapons launched one after another, killing countless lone evolvers and small bases. Thousands of evolved people are in panic all day long.
In the official documents of the military government, this period was called "Three Years of Bloody Massacre."
After the "Three Years of Bloody Massacre", small bases around the world moved closer to the nearest large bases to consolidate for safety. Countless lone travelers also ostensibly joined forces to fight, but in fact they responded to the call of the rebels and joined the military.
As a professional soldier, Lang Hua was obliged to carry out the orders issued by the regiment headquarters one after another, moving from one battlefield to another, paving the way for the counterattack plan prepared by the rebels.
At the end of the same year, Li Yishan approached Lang Hua and appointed him as the acting battalion commander of the miscellaneous barracks based on Yang Zhenghua's instructions. It was during that time that Lang Hua rescued Xiao Heizi and took up the army again.
From the end of the sixth year of the Cataclysm Calendar to the eighth year of the Cataclysm Calendar, two years of military training can be said quickly. During this period, the deployment of the resistance forces was carried out secretly, with a very high level of confidentiality. Although Lang Hua wanted to go back to Tashan to have a look, he could not help himself.
He heard that Miss Qin's family escaped many times despite the family's obstruction, but was eventually captured and detained by her family.
The girl waited for Lang Hua for two days under the shade of the trees at the base of Nata Mountain, but she failed to see him.
The army was very busy in those two years, and all the soldiers were in a hurry on their way from the martial arts field to their dormitories to rest. No one said much, but everyone's eyes were filled with a light called "expectation."
Whether it is winning or the freedom gained in the name of race, everyone above is excited and crazy.
Even Captain Yang Zhenghua has become someone that Lang Hua cannot come into contact with on weekdays. On the contrary, Captain Li Yishan, who is often on missions, often drinks with him several times.
Lang Hua didn't need Li Yishan to tell him the reason.
Three years ago, Captain Yang's grandfather, General Yang Jianye, died in the "Star Thieves" targeted killing plan.
Without Old General Yang, the Yang family is in a dangerous situation and is in danger of being cannibalized by other aristocratic families at any time. Yang Zhenghua was also exhausted on the battlefield and between the family, and his temperament became more and more radical.
Until the vigorous "First Great Counteroffensive" broke out in the last ten years...
——
After the major counterattack, there was a "total rout" that no one had expected.
After the complete defeat, the resistance army was left with very little strength.
Lang Hua, who was lucky enough to survive, unexpectedly returned to Natashan base by accident, and was ordered to lead a group of remnants to take over the Yang family garrison camp that previously belonged to the Nanqi City Corps.
At this time, it was already winter at the end of the tenth year of the Cataclysm Calendar.
The other old brothers in the 215th Regiment were all dispersed and organized into different army garrisons.
Lang Hua lost the last layer of aura of "combat hero" and blocked all his previous achievements. He only managed to save the wealth of the original military camp.
The committee said it was an "award" and promoted Lang Hua to the position of "acting battalion commander", but his military rank remained captain. Otherwise, considering Lang Hua's achievements in the "total defeat", he should be awarded the title of colonel.
But Lang Hua also thought about it. If the senior officials of the aristocratic families in the committee want to reshuffle the cards, just let them go. Apart from leaving the meeting in anger at the multi-party talks after the war, he can't actually do much.
After three and a half years, Lang and Qin finally met again in Nata Mountain. Qin Xiaowen had a calmer temperament than before. Lang Hua heard at that time that the Qin family's situation was not easy either. In the comprehensive defeat, the Qin family's forces suffered too many battle losses and their strength was greatly reduced. Compared with Lang Hua's depression, Qin Xiaowen has grown up as the Qin eldest daughter. In addition to cooperating with Chen Xinyan's research, she took the initiative to share the pressure from her father and brother and took charge of part of the family's industry.
Even so, Qin Xiaowen's bright smile remained as always, and it was still Lang Hua's only comfort in those days.
——
Thirteen years after the end of the world, the "ultimate battle" broke out, and the Nata Mountain front in the rear was also affected. Qin Xiaowen was recalled by her family before the war. Half a year later, the war situation became dire. The family's power gradually withdrew, and all fronts became unsustainable.
In the last days, the base-affiliated hospital really became as busy as Sister Xinyan once joked.
All three lines of defense collapsed in just two months, and the Nata Mountain scientific research base that originally belonged to the rear became the front line of the position.
The hospital wards and even the corridors were filled with traumatized people.
The moans of excruciating pain, the bandages stained with blood so much that they couldn't be washed out white, and the smell of blood so strong that it was almost suffocating.
Those nurses, whom Lang Hua nicknamed "angels in white", failed to save more lives in the end.
Even though they had practiced debridement and drainage on Lang Hua countless times, and even though they had studied under a medical genius, their ability to become a monk halfway was still limited.
There are some things that God will be merciful to just because you shed a few tears.
In addition, the injuries suffered by evolved people often damage the essence of the human body. Compared with external auxiliary medical treatment, their own repair and recovery abilities are more dominant. Modern medicine, which has never been omnipotent, will not be able to save many dying evolved people in the end of the world. .
Just like Lang Hua finally suffered the "serious injuries" mentioned in Chen Xinyan's jokes again and again, but at this time, he no longer had the opportunity to be treated by "Dean Chen".
Chen Xinyan, a female medical staff member at the rear base and an academician engaged in subject research, died before him, the combat supervisor.
——
In the final battle, when the fighting was at its most tragic, the Red Cross Medical Association organized by major families also withdrew from the battlefield one after another.
After Lang Hua fell into a severe coma for the first time, it was Chen Xinyan who defied all opinions and led a group of medical staff to the front line.
She was in high spirits before leaving, but when she was finally sent back, she was already in shock.
That battlefield suffered a nerve gas attack. The only doctor Chen who survived was snatched back by a few young soldiers.
The few young soldiers under 20 years old died in the rescue room not long after sending Chen Xinyan back to Nata Mountain Base.
Chen Xinyan was also infected by poisonous gas and became a source of radiation infection.
Zhang Cheng and Chen Xinyan, two civilian researchers who are dedicated to academics, two young people who have been in love for several years but never dare to tell the truth...
The two people who reunited after a long separation could only put their palms together through a thick glass.
Longing to feel the other person's warmth again.
…
Three weeks later, Sister Xinyan no longer agreed to Brother Zhang visiting her every day.
According to her words, Zhang Cheng has more important work to do right now. Once all regions work together and the Science Alliance research comes out, this war may turn around, and the whole world may have a glimmer of hope.
She has always been a stubborn person. No one can refuse her proposal at the risk of death, especially Zhang Cheng.
When the news of her final death came, Zhang Cheng's operating hand on the experimental table remained steady. But Lang Hua clearly saw his facial muscles trembling for a moment.
"The enemy will come at any given day, and there is no need for a funeral. I will stay here and complete all this, just like... what she wanted me to do. I... have to work, Xiaohua, please go. "
——
On the day Chen Xinyan passed away, Lang Hua thought a lot.
If it is said that what supported Brother Zhang and Sister Xinyan to persevere in such bleak years was their mutual support and love.
So for me, what allowed me to struggle and escape death so many times?
At that moment, what flashed through Lang Hua's mind was the scene in the park seven years ago——
The girl held his finger and said slowly:
"The Qin family will not be short of anything you gave me, Alang. When we win...will you marry me?"
