Rebirth: Don't Want to Be Hot-blooded

When they arrived at the second rest stop, it was already completely dark.

In such light, the visibility in the woods can be imagined. In the end, An Chuxia almost groped her way forward.

At this time, I really doubted how the person leading the way in front found the direction.

In this situation where there are no night vision goggles and no other electronic navigation, you can travel through the woods with just a compass and a map without even taking a detour.

This alone was enough for her to admire him.

Finally able to stop and rest, An Chuxia did not hesitate any longer and stumbled directly to the ground.

I don't know how many times I fell along the way. Now my legs, hands and even shoulders are aching, and I don't know how many scratches and bruises I have.

But I can't care about so many things at this moment. I just want to sit down and have a good rest.

I collapsed directly to the ground, leaning against a tree and watching them busying themselves, I really couldn't move at all.

"Hey, have you forgotten your job?" Tian Xi came over and found it funny when he saw her utterly dishonorable appearance.

An Chuxia glanced at him, not wanting to move a finger, "My job now is to stay alive and not die, which is the greatest help to you."

Xia Lan also heard her words and shook her head in amusement, "Tian Xi, stop teasing her, let her rest for a while."

Given the geographical location of the border defense zone, the temperature would not be very low even in winter, not to mention that it is summer now and it is still hot and humid in the woods even late at night.

In such a temperature, in order to reduce the weight, it is impossible to carry a tent. We can only take some simple anti-mosquito protection and rest on the spot.

Even if a group of people are very tired, this kind of thing is not difficult for them and they are ready quickly.

At this time, Xia Lan came over and asked, "What's going on?"

After resting for a while, he finally recovered a little, looked at Xia Lan and sighed, "I'm finally alive, I'm not dead..."

Xia Lan smiled and sat down. "Where does it hurt? Let me see."

An Chuxia was a little surprised to hear her words. She didn't expect that she would notice these things. But she was in no mood to be polite at this time. She said directly, "My hands hurt, my legs hurt, and my body hurts too..."

Xia Lan laughed when she heard that, but she still picked up her hand and took a look at it.

There were indeed quite a few scratches, even the camouflage uniform was scratched, and there were also scratches on the arms.

Although the injuries were not serious, there were several abrasions. Under such temperature and sanitary conditions, it would be easy to get infected if not treated.

So Staff Officer Xia instantly turned into Military Doctor Xia, taking a medical kit and starting to treat her wounds.

Fortunately, they were all simple scrapes, and the deepest wound was caused by a branch on the arm.

The wound was quite deep, directly scratching the camouflage and leaving a wound on the forearm.

And all along, An Chuxia didn't even notice it.

It’s not that it doesn’t hurt, but there are too many painful places and I can’t take care of them all.

Falling and getting scratched have become common occurrences. I haven't seen it yet, but if I really go to see it, I'd see how many bruises there are on my body.

But now is not the time to look at these things. After checking, Xia Lan found no external injuries and confirmed that there were no broken bones.

He heaved a sigh of relief, "It's OK, it's quite durable."

An Chuxia looked at her with a smile on her face, "Is this how you comfort the wounded?"

"Am I right? He walked all the way without any broken arms or legs." Xia Lan patted him directly.

"Ah..." An Chuxia gasped in pain, "I'm going to report you for abusing the correspondent."

Just as Xia Lan was laughing with gloating, Ning Ban finished arranging everyone's affairs and walked over and heard what she said.

He immediately laughed, "That's great, I'll take you to find the regiment commander. If the regiment commander can't help, then find the division commander."

An Chuxia rubbed the painful area and looked at him, "You are just watching the fun and making trouble."

As he spoke, he looked at the temporary resting place they had built. There was no tent at all, just a simple resting place made with the help of tree trunks.

"We...are just going to sleep like this all night?" An Chuxia finally found her voice.

"How about getting you a rest room?" Xia Lan asked directly, "And you don't just sleep like this for one night, you sleep like this for the next few days."

After saying that, he found a place to lie down and said, "Do you want to sleep or not? If you don't, you will have even less energy tomorrow."

An Chuxia had no choice but to lie down on the spot.

After a tiring day, there is no place to rest properly, which really makes people feel a little overwhelmed.

But after thinking about it, there was no other choice and I could only sigh helplessly.

After resting for a while, I finally felt a little better.

He suddenly realized something. They had been on guard during their rest. There was an open sentry not far away. Judging from the small number of people, there should be another hidden sentry.

With their physical exhaustion, no matter who they are, it is impossible for them to sustain another night of vigilance.

So the only possibility is that they have to take turns, and I don’t know whether it’s to take care of her or because they see that she is no longer able to do so, and they simply don’t have the ability to do so.

Although she discovered the problem, she really couldn't ask it.

Since she doesn't have the ability to do so even if I ask, I might as well just pretend I don't know and wait until she has the ability.

As she thought about this, her eyelids began to droop. The exhaustion from the day made her fall asleep quickly even in this situation.

But she didn't know that Xia Lan beside her was not in a hurry to rest, and was even recording something with the faint light.

Squad Leader Ning came back from his post and saw her taking notes. He couldn't help but sit over and asked, "Are you still taking notes at this late hour?"

"We have to leave early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't have time." Xia Lan replied with a smile, "I'm almost done with it."

Squad Leader Ning nodded and said, "You are always so serious when leading the team."

"You don't know that when Liao Lian was leading the team, he would go back and fill in the patrol logs."

Xia Lan looked at him helplessly, "Does Liao Lian know that you are talking about him behind his back?"

Ning Ban didn't care at all, "What do you mean behind his back? I dare to say it to his face."

After hearing this, Xia Lan could only shake her head helplessly.

In fact, the relationship between superiors and subordinates in their border defense regiment is quite good, especially the combat squad, because they have actually been to the battlefield together, which will produce more different emotions.

Xia Lan has been with them all year round, training and carrying out missions together. The people in the combat squad really respect the strong and only recognize Xia Lan.

So you see that they are not so polite to her, and even seem a little disrespectful, but it is actually a sign of recognition.

On the contrary, the kind of person who is extremely polite, saluting and standing at attention even in non-formal occasions, is not a recognized person.

Of course Xia Lan knew this, so she didn't care at all and said directly, "Your Liao Lian has a good memory. She can still remember things that happened many days later. It will be too late to catch up then."

"But I don't have that ability. If I don't write it down on the day, I might not be able to remember anything when I think about it later."

Squad Leader Ning knew that she was being absolutely modest, but he didn't say much and just smiled.

Seeing An Chuxia sleeping soundly beside her, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you want to bring her along this time?"

Xia Lan glanced down and said, "Don't you think she has made great progress?"

Squad Leader Ning nodded. "Of course I have no objection to this. Not only has she made great progress, she is also a quick learner. She is truly a rare and good soldier."

"But she has only been in the company for a short time. She is still a new recruit, and she is a female soldier. It is not appropriate for you to bring her out to patrol the line like this, right?"

Xia Lan said without even raising her head, "What's wrong with being a female soldier? I am also a female soldier. Do you look down on me?"

"How dare I do that?" Ning Ban seemed to be used to it and sighed helplessly, "But she is different from you. You think that female soldiers are no different, but does she think so too?"

Xia Lan choked. She was indeed different. She was even lazier than most female soldiers.

He paused for a moment before saying, "I think it's a waste to throw such a good talent into the communications company or the medical team."

Then he looked at An Chuxia and said, "Ever since she was in the recruit company, I found that she only looks lazy, but as long as she is touched by the points she cares about, she will work harder than anyone else."

"She is also very smart. She will never do anything recklessly, but will find her own way to work hard."

"But because of this, I think there are some things that need to be pushed on her."

After hearing this, Squad Leader Ning finally understood what she meant, "So this time... are you planning to give her a push?"

But then he shook his head and said, "Aren't you afraid that you are not just giving a push, but actually forcing things to grow faster?"

He looked at An Chuxia beside him and said, "It's only been one day and she's already like this. She collapsed on the way. I have to send someone to take her back."

Xia Lan smiled after hearing this, "Don't worry, she's not that fragile yet."

"Believe me, she has a strong ability to adapt. She just hasn't adapted yet today. I believe she will perform even better in the future."

Ning Ban looked at her in surprise, "Do you really trust her so much?"

"Didn't you also say that she is different from others?" Xia Lan smiled easily, looked at him and said directly, "Since you have discovered that she is different, why can't you give it a try?"

Ning Ban was helpless, "Well, it's your people, you have the final say."

"But I want to see if you are accurate enough."

An Chuxia didn't know that she was about to be sold by them, and she was still sleeping soundly. Even in such an environment, she slept all night until dawn.

When the sunlight pierced her eyes, An Chuxia even felt like she had just fallen asleep, so how come it was already dawn?

Even when I opened my eyes and saw the blue sky and the trees, I was still a little dazed.

After a while, I suddenly realized that I was not in the dormitory and there was no wake-up call. I was in the wilderness and I had spent the night outside.

"Awake?" At this time, a voice came from the side.

Hearing Xia Lan's voice, An Chuxia quickly sat up with a start, "You...are all up so early?"

"It's getting late. Let's pack up and leave soon." Xia Lan smiled. "Looks like you've had enough sleep?"

"You woke up naturally. Didn't you hear everyone making such a fuss?"

An Chuxia then realized that everything else had been packed up, except for her who was still lying here.

Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed, "I...I was sleeping so soundly that I didn't hear it."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I wanted to call you." Tian Xi came over and said, "But Staff Officer Xia wouldn't let me. He said he wanted you to sleep a little longer."

An Chuxia was a little surprised. She glanced at Xia Lan, and couldn't believe that she had done this.

"I want you to sleep a little longer and maintain your strength so that you can walk more and fall less today, and I can worry less." Xia Lan agreed, but there was no warmth in her words.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, An Chuxia was not moved at all and stood up helplessly.

"Pack up, we'll leave soon." Xia Lan spoke immediately when she saw that she was really energetic.

An Chuxia looked down and there was really nothing to pack. She didn't take off her clothes or unpack her backpack. She had been holding her only weapon all night. What else was there to pack?

Seeing her reaction, Xia Lan laughed helplessly, and then said, "Today is not like yesterday. Cheer up, we will reach the border soon."

After hearing her words, An Chuxia also put away her smile, "Then...what should I pay attention to?"

"Be more vigilant, and... hold your gun and follow the main force closely." Xia Lan patted her lightly and went forward to discuss something with Ning Ban.

Only An Chuxia looked down at her own gun and suddenly became a little nervous.

She was not like Zuo Xiaoxin and the others who had any hope for this place. She knew that the border was not safe.

In addition, the information An Chuxia had read during this period was not in vain. How many armed invasions occurred every year, and how many people crossed the border to traffic drugs. These were not something she could have imagined in her previous life, but now, she was in the middle of it.

So she knew that Xia Lan was not exaggerating, and there was a real possibility that she might be in danger. And they only had one class, and if they were in danger, there was no guarantee that anyone would be able to take care of her.

When he thought of this, he tightly gripped the gun in his hand, the weapon with live ammunition.

Setting out again, An Chuxia actually felt less nervous and less tired than yesterday.

She knew that this couldn't be the result of a good night's sleep.

I thought about it and realized that I had just come out yesterday. I was too nervous and afraid that if I took a wrong step, I would roll down the mountain.

When people are under stress, they tend to become more tired easily. That was what happened to her yesterday.

But after yesterday's unexpected cliff fall and half a night of falling and fighting, she actually relaxed.

Following the team, An Chuxia looked at the wound that was bandaged yesterday while walking, and couldn't help but sigh that people can still adapt to the environment.

If it had happened in her previous life, she would have felt sorry for herself if she didn't take a week or two of sick leave for such an injury. But now, she was just injured yesterday, and she started again today without even checking the extent of her injury.

But I don’t know if it was my illusion or if I really recovered overnight, but I didn’t feel that much pain anymore.
