Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

With the blazing sun above my head and the wind that carries the translation as if it’s heartbreaking,

Stepping on the sharp, uneven stones on the ground, you can occasionally see unmelted ice on the nearby hillside or rocky beach.

Looking around, the undulating mountains in the distance are just withered yellow grass and dry rivers, with no trace of green in sight.

This is the most intuitive feeling when the Fourth Company of the Border Guard Battalion goes out to patrol the border in combat readiness.

"Instructor, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's sunny above and cold below. Every time I come out, I suspect I'm holding an ice cube to warm up the stove."

Modao and another platoon leader of the Fourth Company, armed with guns, led two platoons along the ridge guarding the border.

The second platoon leader next to him talked to Mo Dao and said,

"I'm fine."

Mo Dao smiled and responded.

"Platoon leader, you don't look at how strong the instructor's physical condition is. I think when I first came here, their high reflexes almost killed me.

While patrolling, I vomited while walking. When the evil wind in the mountains blew, I almost fell to the bottom of the cliff. "

"Don't say it was almost okay. There was a soldier in my previous class who actually rolled down the cliff. The whole battalion ran to the bottom of the cliff to look for him. That guy was lucky enough to survive."

"Squad leader, you sound like you're talking about me. Please stop telling me about this..."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed.

From the moment we left the camp area, the atmosphere on the entire patrol road was almost the same.

Strictly speaking, you should always remain vigilant when patrolling. It is best to remain silent and pay attention to all the movements and possible dangers around you.

But humans are never machines.

In this harsh and difficult environment, after half a month of patrolling, several layers of skin would fall off and the shoes would be worn out.

It was too harsh to not let him talk to relieve his emotions.

Mo Dao listened with a smile and didn't say much.

The sun's ultraviolet rays in the plateau area are indeed very harsh, but it is difficult for the surface temperature to rise.

The patrol road is difficult to walk, and the wind passing through the valley is almost like the "demon wind" mentioned by the old squad leader earlier. If it comes suddenly, it is enough to knock people to the ground.

This state of being cold, hot, lacking oxygen, and unstable is really uncomfortable.

But Mo Dao is okay. The physical fitness he has honed in this life can still bear it.

After experiencing too much will, this level of pain was nothing to Mo Dao.

"However, instructor, the scenery is quite open."

"It's pretty good."

Mo Dao raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked around,

At this moment they were walking on the top of a mountain, surrounded by rolling hills and valleys.

Although there is no vegetation visible, the rugged rocks form another handsome scene.

"But instructor, you will probably get tired of it after a few more times."

The second platoon leader next to him raised his head, looked around, and said something with emotion.

"What's wrong, platoon leader, you're tired of watching this. Our patrol has just begun."

"Shut up, what the hell..."

A veteran behind him said something with a smile. The second platoon leader turned back and cursed, and then he couldn't help but smile.

When patrolling outside, the entire company was relatively 'no big or small', and the platoon leader, company commander and others were also very tolerant.

After all, it is better to joke around like this without everyone talking.

Along the way, the soldiers from the two platoons talked from time to time.

When Mo Dao was mentioned occasionally, he would say a word or two, and more often than not, he would just smile and listen.

…

This time, the third company and the fourth company where Mo Dao is located.

Everyone gathered at the training ground from early morning.

The two companies set off from the camp area respectively and headed to Highland No. 012 and Valley No. 039.

These are both ends of the entire border defense line that the border battalion is responsible for.

The two companies were first on their way to patrol both ends of the border defense line,

The soldiers originally on duty at the border posts along the way will be replaced.

These soldiers who change defenses will bring food before setting off like other patrols, and then stay at each post to wait for the change of defenses in half a month.

For the border guard battalion, this kind of task of guarding the outpost is actually a good job.

Because the remaining people responsible for patrolling suffered even more.

After leaving the men at each post, the fourth company was divided into two parts.

One part was led by the company commander and others, and the other part was led by Mo Dao and the second platoon leader.

The situation at Sanlian is basically the same.

In other words, the two companies are basically divided into four parts.

Then cross patrol on the border line from Highland No. 012 to Fa Valley 039.

For example, for the two platoons brought by Mo Dao and the second platoon leader,

The specific task is to go from one numbered point to the next numbered point, and then continue from the next numbered point to the next.

Until you reach both ends of the entire defense line, Highland No. 012 or Valley No. 039, and then turn back, you may encounter soldiers from another part of the Fourth Company or another part of the Third Company on the way.

Just patrol back and forth like this, guarding this border line. This is the task of the two companies, and it is also the task of the entire border defense battalion here.

When night falls and they need to rest, they take turns standing guard, while the remaining people camp or huddle at the nearest guard post.

After resting, continue to the next numbered point.

This continued until half a month passed, when the other two companies came up to replace them.

Then the two companies repeated this cycle until they retired or the entire camp was replaced.

Guarding the border line from Hill 012 to Valley 039 was a duty that could be completed in one sentence,

but the entire border defense battalion made a huge effort.

"Instructor, there is a boundary marker ahead."

"Yes."

...

"Instructor, the boundary marker should have been moved so much."

When they arrived at a boundary marker, the soldiers of the two platoons stopped.

Mo Dao and the second platoon leader walked forward, and Mo Dao squatted on the boundary marker.

The boundary marker was covered with a lot of dust and was dirty.

And the soil under the boundary marker, which buried the lower end of the boundary marker, was new, and there were new signs of turning over the soil.

"It should have been dug this morning. It was probably moved so much to our side."

The second platoon leader next to him narrowed his eyes and gestured a distance of about one meter.

The soldiers next to him also stopped talking and clenched their guns.

Mo Dao pinched the scattered dirt and gravel on the ground, raised his head, and looked towards the boundary marker.

At this time, no one could be seen on the other side of the boundary marker.

This moved boundary marker was the root cause of the conflict between the soldiers on the border and the soldiers on the side of the Posuo country.

It is difficult for normal people to imagine how the other side dared to be so bold and shameless.

To use a famous saying, even if you think about it all night, you can't figure out how the other side dared.

But in fact, the other side is so shameless,

constantly trying to move the boundary marker to this side, now it is one meter, if it is not taken care of in time, the next time it will be hundreds of meters,

the other side is trying to use this method to erode our national border.

In this case, how can there be no conflict.

How can it not make people angry.

There is a boundary marker here, which is still a good situation.

There are still some places without boundary markers on the entire line of defense.

The other side is even more aggressive and aggressive.

In this case, the soldiers of the company did not shoot directly when they met the other side because of their good discipline.

"Move it back."

Mo Dao wiped the dust off the boundary marker with his sleeve, looked at the other side of the boundary marker, and then stood up and said.

"Yes!"

Several soldiers nearby heard Mo Dao's order and responded decisively.

Then they began to move the boundary marker back to its original position.
