Rebirth: Don't Want to Be Hot-blooded

Chapter 72 The Person Behind You

An Chuxia didn't expect that she would almost lose her life on her first combat mission.

Although she escaped, she still felt scared when she thought about it now. She never thought that a communications company could be in danger. This border defense regiment really was not safe at all.

Fortunately, although I was injured, it was not serious. Apart from the severe pain, there were no other problems.

It's just that I suffered a little more.

An Chuxia was also a little strange. The pain when she was beaten must have been much more painful than this, but she really seemed to feel no pain.

This feeling was something she had never experienced before, the feeling of not thinking about anything else but that one thing.

She even knew that she had murderous intent at that moment, and as long as she could survive, she didn't care about the other person's life or death.

Even though two days have passed, I still can't help but shudder when I think of that scene. I'm really scared.

She was afraid that if she hadn't held on, she wouldn't be here today. She was even more afraid that Xia Tian and the others would have arrived a step later and failed to stop her, in which case she would have already killed someone.

Although she knew that on the battlefield it was either you or I, but when she was asked to kill someone, she not only didn't dare, but was even a little terrified.

So during these two days, I was not only scared, but I even had a nightmare.

The military camp in this world may not have touched upon psychological issues yet, but An Chuxia knew that her situation was affected by that night.

But even though she knew it, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

If I had known this, I should have studied psychology.

"Why are you sighing here?" Just as she was looking up at the sky out of boredom, a familiar voice came.

An Chuxia came back to her senses instantly and looked up, "Officer Xia, you're back?"

When he sat up, he saw her arm hanging up and was startled, "Are you injured?"

Xia Lan smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, just a little scrape."

"A scratch... What scratched the skin?" An Chuxia asked instinctively, but then she realized, "Gunshot wound?"

Xia Lan smiled and nodded, "I was careless and didn't dodge it."

"But it's okay, it was just a shot on the arm, and it's a penetrating wound. It will heal in a few days."

He looked at her and said, "Don't talk about me. What happened to you? I heard...it was a magical fall?"

An Chuxia smiled awkwardly, "How would I know that I would run into such a weirdo on the way back to the camp."

Xia Lan obviously knew everything. When she heard her words, she laughed. "You, I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky."

He looked her up and down and said, "But...how are you injured?"

An Chuxia sighed deeply, "The injury is not serious, but look at this face..."

"It's okay, there's no disfigurement." Xia Lan walked to her side and put the things she brought on the table.

"Oh, you brought me some fruit?" An Chuxia just noticed that she actually brought some fruit.

In fact, there is no shortage of fruits in southern Xinjiang where they are, but the location of the border defense regiment is really too remote, so the chances of getting to eat are not good.

"Of course. If I come to see a patient without bringing any fruit, can I really just come to take a look?" Xia Lan said half-jokingly.

But while speaking, he still looked at her face carefully, "This blow is really quite heavy..."

"Of course not." An Chuxia pointed at her face and said, "Look at how swollen this side of my face is. My voice has changed. And my eyes here are so swollen that I can hardly see clearly."

Xia Lan nodded, "Yeah, it's really serious. But if I hadn't seen that person, I would have sympathized with you. But seeing how miserable that person is, I can't sympathize with him at all."

"What? You still sympathize with him?" An Chuxia muttered in dissatisfaction.

"No, it's just that when I saw that man half dead, I couldn't believe it was you who beat him." Xia Lan shook her head with a smile, "But when I think about it, it's you...it doesn't seem strange anymore."

An Chuxia looked at her puzzledly, "What's wrong with me?"

"Because you've always surprised me since you were a recruit." Xia Lan said without thinking, "From leading your class to win all the time to surpassing Ling Ke, even though you never tried your best."

"And then when you came to me, I thought you didn't know these things, but you did better than I expected."

"That's fine, maybe that's what you're good at, but if I throw you into the combat class for training, I never thought you could keep up with their training. Even if you can keep up, you'll have to wait for some time."

"But I didn't expect that after the standards around you were raised, your progress also began to increase significantly. Your training results got better and better, far exceeding my expectations."

"Captain Gu is right. You have great potential, but it has not yet been fully developed."

He paused here, "So this time you actually... not only saved yourself in such a passive situation, but also almost beat someone to death. I am not surprised at all."

After hearing her explanation, An Chuxia sighed helplessly, "You praise me so much... Why do I feel like something is wrong?"

"What's wrong? Isn't it good enough to praise you?" Xia Lan looked at her with amusement.

An Chuxia sighed helplessly, "I feel like you have bad intentions. I don't know how you're going to torment me next."

"Let's just say, can you please let me go considering how miserable I am now?"

But Xia Lan suddenly stopped smiling and looked at her seriously, "Chu Xia, I know that you don't really want to be a soldier, and you don't want to stay in the border defense regiment. What you want most every day is when to leave here."

"But now you are here. Wearing a military uniform for one day, you must be a soldier wholeheartedly for one day."

"You experienced it yourself this time. As long as you are in the border defense regiment, you can't hide. These are your responsibilities."

"Just like this time, you have nowhere to retreat!"

After hearing this, An Chuxia also fell silent.

"Let's take a step back and say...even if you can escape, then think about it, what will this person do after you escape?"

"Behind you are a group of medical soldiers and communications soldiers who have no combat capability, and behind them are the civilians, the people we have to protect with our lives."

"Can we really just watch them get into danger and do nothing about it?" Xia Lan said, looking at her seriously.

An Chuxia was also stunned. She really hadn't thought about this question.

Although she discovered this person by chance yesterday, she even felt that she was unlucky.

But she never thought about what would happen if she hadn't found out. It was unknown where this person would go or what he would do.

The only thing I know is...it will never do anything good.

Seeing her fall silent, Xia Lan stopped talking and just sighed softly, "There are some things, you should think about them slowly."

"I know there are things you can't understand, and you can't even empathize with us, but... think about your current identity. We are not ordinary people. There are some things we can no longer do as we please."

An Chuxia was really touched by her words.

To be honest, before this, she always felt that some people were just bragging. To be honest, she was better at bragging than anyone else.

But for the first time, she felt that these were not empty words, but the real truth for the border defense regiment.

But, again, it was the first time that she experienced it firsthand.

"What's wrong? Tell me, you can't do it anymore?" Seeing her reaction, Xia Lan asked with a chuckle.

An Chuxia came back to her senses and shook her head slightly, "No... I just have some feelings."

Xia Lan nodded quickly, "It's a good thing to have feelings. I'm just worried that you don't have any feelings and still have the same original idea."

"And now you not only have the responsibility of a soldier, think about what you are facing this time. You may be lucky enough to beat him once, but can you guarantee that you will always be lucky?"

Hearing this, An Chuxia was also stunned.

Yes, as long as she is in the group for one day, she will face danger for one day. No one knows when the next danger will come, and whether she will still have such luck.

Suddenly I remembered that what Du Xiaofei said when she was in the recruit company was right. She needed to become stronger for her own sake.

But some words are not spoken, but done.

So he looked at Xia Lan and just nodded slightly, "Counselor Xia... I understand."

Xia Lan was a little surprised when she heard this. It had been several months and she had never thought that she could persuade her, so she never thought that she could be persuaded by just a few words.

Over the years, An Chuxia was not a bad soldier. In fact, she was better than everyone else. However, Xia Lan always felt that An Chuxia was too passive.

Passive training and active desire to improve are completely different.

So even though An Chuxia is already very good, Xia Lan still wants to change her attitude. She really wants to see what An Chuxia will become when her potential is fully tapped.

And when An Chuxia said that she understood those words, Xia Lan was really relieved.

A few days later, An Chuxia and Xia Lan walked out of the hospital together.

That’s right, Xia Lan was also staying in this hospital to recuperate. Although it was a gunshot wound, she was discharged from the hospital in just a few days. Her arm was even still hanging in front of her chest when she was discharged.

Compared to her, An Chuxia is much better.

Although her whole body was covered with wounds, skin injuries and gunshot wounds were different after all, and her skin healing ability was obviously better. In just a few days, even her face had returned to its original state.

So she took on the job of a communicator again, picked up Xia Lan's backpack, followed behind her, and said as she walked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave the hospital? Your injury hasn't healed yet."

"Now that you're well, there's no point in me living here alone, right?" Xia Lan said half-jokingly.

Although it was a joke, there was nothing wrong with what she said. It was indeed a bit boring here.

There are no entertainment activities, and there are no mobile phones or computers to play with. Apart from doing some activities every day, I can only look at the sky. There is nothing else to do.

It was really boring. An Chuxia even forgot the last time she was so bored.

After all, in my previous life, not only did I have little time to rest, even when I did rest, I had to occupy myself with various entertainments and hobbies. I had never had as much free time as I have these days.

But when she heard Xia Lan's words, she immediately laughed, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Wouldn't it be the same if I stayed here with you?"

"You think you can be lazy here? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?" Xia Lan said without thinking, "Don't even think about it. Squad Leader Gu is waiting for you there. Go back and see your squad leader as soon as possible."

"If we don't hurry up, we won't have such a good opportunity when he leaves the border defense regiment."

An Chuxia was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Then can you give me a definite answer as to when he will leave so that I can be mentally prepared?"

Xia Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. "This is not my business. We have no say in whether he stays or leaves."

After hearing her say this, An Chuxia's curiosity was aroused. "Since he is from the special forces, and now... he is sent to us, did he make a mistake or for some other reason?"

"Why, are you interested?" Xia Lan looked at her in surprise.

After all, An Chuxia Ping is not a curious person, otherwise, in her position, she would know a lot of things every day.

I believe that any new recruit would be curious, but An Chuxia is not at all. She seems to be not interested in these things at all. She handles each task impartially and calmly, which does not seem like someone of her age.

Xia Lan was a little surprised about this.

It can be said that this was really the first time that An Chuxia showed curiosity, so how could she not be surprised.

An Chuxia nodded slightly, "I'm not interested, I'm just curious. Since he has already joined the special forces, his abilities should be pretty good. He shouldn't be kicked out just because of his inability."

"But if it was a mistake, what kind of mistake would it be..." He shook his head and said, "It's hard to imagine."

Xia Lan listened to her guess and found it a little funny. "You think about it a lot."

"Then have you ever thought that he was sent to support our regiment?"

An Chuxia was stunned. Of course she had never thought about it. After all, there had never been such a situation before. Basically, those who were admitted to the special forces would never be able to join any ordinary force.

And this kind of thing that she had never heard of was happening right next to her?

Xia Lan ignored her surprise and said directly, "Don't look at his young age, but he is excellent even in the special forces."

"The reason they came to us this time is because the combat effectiveness of our border defense regiment's combat squad has been improved, but we ourselves... obviously don't have this ability."

"So the group asked them for help, and it was natural for Gu Beixing to be sent here."

Seeing her say that, An Chuxia came back to her senses, "Really... Does this mean he didn't make any mistakes or violate any discipline?"

Xia Lan was amused by her reaction and laughed, "What else do you think? We are not a shelter. Do we have to have someone who made a mistake to be the squad leader and train the communicators for me?"

An Chuxia also realized that what she said was wrong, and hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant..."

He shook his head and said, "It's because he was too secretive before and didn't say anything. I'm not the only one who is curious."
