Thrive in Catastrophe

"Only me?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "That must be because you don't know Colonel Burton."

"I really don't know him well. But one thing I know very well is that a man like Heine Burton will never turn back easily."

At this moment, a quartermaster came in front of them and interrupted Xiao Yan's meditation.

"Now the base is allocating rooms for the night's rest. Six people share one room, but you have a total of eight students, and one female student. Lily Gran."

"Sir." Lily stood up and gave a military salute.

The quartermaster nodded and said, "You are assigned to break room No. 8, which is full of female liaison officers."

"Thanks, sir." Lily exhaled.

The quartermaster opened his communicator, and a holographic screen popped up. There was a list on it, and he read out six names, "Students whose names have been called, you are assigned to use lounge No. 9."

Lily looked at Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan was not worried about his destination tonight, he believed that it was impossible for Colonel Shen Bing to let him sleep in the control room.

"Student Xiao Yan."

"Yes."

"You have been assigned to Lounge 2."

The quartermaster turned and left after the notification.

Xiao Yan flicked Lily's nose, and said with a smile: "Look, I still have a place to live, maybe it's a room for one person!"

"You are dreaming!"

Their dinner tonight is quite simple, each with only one compressed biscuit and a bottle of water.The previous experience of choking on a compressed biscuit made Xiao Yan really not have a good impression of this food, but he knew that under the current situation, he must eat to provide nutrition for his body.After opening the biscuit, Xiao Yan chewed it for a long time before swallowing it. Looking at the expressions of other students, Xiao Yan immediately felt much relieved.

After dinner time, all the students went to their lounges.

Xiao Yan went deep along the passage, and there were fewer and fewer officers coming and going, and the whole space was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, someone picked him up by the waist, and Xiao Yan was so startled that he almost didn't cry out. It was indeed Mark, a big guy with a wry smile on his face.

"Haha, Xiao Yan, I specifically told the quartermaster to let you sleep with us! Just in time, Maya has gone back to Shire, and you can use his sleeping chamber!"

Only then did Xiao Yan understand why he was separated from other colleges.

"Put me down, Mark—or I'll spit cookies all over you!"

"Haha! Spit it out and let me see!" Mark patted Xiao Yan's butt hard with his big hand.

"Mark, you're too loud."

Heine walked past Mark, and at that moment Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders subconsciously. Xiao Yan didn't relax until the sliding door opened and the other party entered the lounge.

Mark rubbed his nose and put Xiao Yan down, but his arms were still on his shoulders, "Hey, is your head okay? Just woke up and was attacked by a ground guide, will it affect your IQ?"

"Even if his IQ is affected, he's still better than you." Liv smiled and entered the room opposite to lounge No. 2. She is a female special soldier and was assigned to the lounge of several other female officers. inside.

Xiao Yan entered the lounge, only to realize that there were only eight sleeping chambers in the room, and everything else was empty.

The special forces placed their personal belongings, such as the compressed biscuits and water bottles that were delivered just now, neatly against the wall, and Xiao Yan followed suit.

"Hey, that's all you ate compressed biscuits?" Mark squatted beside Xiao Yan, with an expression of "you eat like a woman".

"This biscuit is really tasteless." Xiao Yan smiled.

"Yes, but all officers above major have some extra goodies." Mark blinked, and suddenly stood up and scratched his head with a benign and harmless look, "That...boss...our technical soldier He doesn't seem to have much appetite, he just ate one piece of compressed biscuit tonight!"

Xiao Yan froze.

mark!You idiot!I will be killed by you!Who dares to ask Colonel Burton for something to eat!

Heine didn't say anything, just opened the sleeping chamber and lay down inside.

Everyone else is getting ready to rest.

Mark looked at Xiao Yan and said with a sympathetic expression: "I thought the boss was nice to you! He has saved you many times! But now it seems that the boss is not as good to you as he is to us!"

There is a bit of smugness in these words.

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, "You are his subordinate, I am just a reserve soldier, why should he be nice to me?"

Opening the sleeping cabin, Xiao Yan lay down in it, ignoring Mark.

The sleeping cabin is very narrow and designed entirely to save space. It cannot turn over, let alone assume an aggressive posture. However, its internal structure fits the human body, and it can make people feel soft and comfortable even in a flat-lying posture.The light in the sleeping cabin weakened and darkness fell, and Xiao Yan quickly fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up because of the hunger in his belly.The compressed biscuit has been completely digested, and the stomach is now empty.He couldn't sleep anyway.Looking at the communicator on his wrist, the time is now three o'clock in the morning.

Open the sleeping cabin, the lounge is still bright, while all other sleeping cabins remain closed.Xiao Yan came to the wall where he placed compressed biscuits and water, and sat down cross-legged.He knew that Heine must have a very strict schedule, and if he was found eating now, he would not know... No matter how much, since that guy is still in the sleep cabin, he would not know anything.

Xiao Yan took out a piece of compressed biscuit. Deep down in his heart, he admired those officers who swallowed a whole biscuit. He broke off a small piece with his fingers and put it in his mouth. The dry feeling spread on the tip of his tongue. Water poured into mouth.

If given the opportunity to have his own research laboratory, the first research Xiao Yan will do is to improve compressed biscuits.He knew that compressed biscuits were emergency food for the armed forces, but making them taste like this... It's really unconscionable!

Just when Xiao Yan was depressed, a certain sleep chamber slowly opened, a figure sat up, and stepped out with slender legs. When the other party stood up completely, Xiao Yan became nervous for a while, the biscuit choked in his throat, and tears Hurricane in an instant.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Xiao Yan covered his throat, his heart beating wildly.

"What are you doing."

The cold voice made Xiao Yan unable to lift his head.That was Heine Burton.Xiao Yan originally thought that the other party would not wake up, but he miscalculated.

It's three o'clock in the morning!Why do you have to get up if you don't sleep well!

"...I'm eating, Colonel." He had to answer Heine Burton.

The other party came to his side, and the shadow oppressed Xiao Yan.

Slender and elegant fingers stretched out in front of him, picking up half a bag of compressed biscuits in his hand.

It was completely unimaginable that Hai Yin's finger belonged to a master killer. When he let go of his finger and the biscuit fell from a height, Xiao Yan caught it fearfully, fearing that the dregs would fall and Hai Yin would get angry.Heine turned around, knelt down in front of her ration bag, took out a piece of bread stored in a fresh-keeping package, opened the package, and immediately the faint scent of milk mixed with the scent of wheat spread in the air.

Saliva was secreted frantically, Xiao Yan swallowed forcefully, feeling aggrieved in his heart.

Why can only Heine Burton enjoy such special treatment?

Then he lowered his head again, whether it's ability or military rank, who else in this base is more entitled to special treatment than Heine?

Heine took out a small box, and after opening it, the smell made Xiao Yan want to go crazy even more.

It's butter!As soon as you smell it, you know that it is the finest butter with a delicate taste!

Xiao Yan stared at Heine's movements. God knows how long it has been since he tasted butter. It should be said that since he came to this base, he hasn't even eaten a decent meal!

Hai Yin's affection was always indifferent, as if Xiao Yan didn't exist.He picked out the butter from the box with a knife, and embedded a thin layer into the bread.Xiao Yan's eyes locked on the bread, and his heart felt sad.Is Hein showing off to him?Or did he deliberately use this method to punish him?

Facing Xiao Yan's gaze, Heine slowly came to him with the piece of bread, "Go to bed after eating."

"..." Xiao Yan was stunned. He stretched out his hand stupidly, feeling the weight of the bread being pressed into his palm by the other party. The man in front of him seemed to frown, but in the end he remained calm.His fingertips slid along the bandage between Xiao Yan's fingers, as if stroking.

"You have to learn to heal these wounds by yourself." His voice was very soft, completely different from his usual indifference and alienation.

When Heine turned around, he still didn't wake up.

Heine not only gave him a piece of bread, but also put butter for the bread himself!

Could this be his hallucination again?

Will all this disappear after counting down for tens of seconds?Including this bread?

Heine returned to her sleeping cabin, and everything became quiet again.

Whether he is hallucinating or not!

Xiao Yan took a bite, the soft taste and the faint sweet fragrance made him feel like he was going to walk on the clouds.This is real food!

After eating the whole bread happily, Xiao Yan sighed contentedly.

The feeling of fullness in his stomach let Xiao Yan know that all this was really not his illusion.He knew that it was meaningless to think about why Hein would give him a piece of bread. He was not Hein, so he couldn't think in Hein's way.Maybe Heine just happened to be in a good mood... so he got up from the sleeping compartment and gave him a piece of buttered bread without doing anything?

Xiao Yan lowered his head and smiled. As long as he concentrates, he can interpret and analyze massive amounts of information, but he cannot understand Heine Burton.

He not only has to learn to "heal" by himself, but also to learn to grow.

Swallowing the bread, he knew that he could not always be a reserve soldier, he would become a real technical soldier.

Back in the sleeping cabin, Xiao Yan closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

He had a dream, dreaming that he was back in Shire, sitting in a restaurant with a group of contemporaries, eating barbecue and drinking beer.

When everyone was worrying about the next day's student level test, Xiao Yan didn't drink smartly for the first time.He wants to pass the test, he wants to become an A-type researcher, have his own laboratory, and pursue the answers he wants.

"Hey! Rookie! Wake up! Rookie!"

Xiao Yan waved his hands irritably.

"Hey! Wake up - rookie!"

Xiao Yan was picked up from the sleeping cabin by someone.

"Ah—" Opening his eyes suddenly, Xiao Yan met Mark's helpless expression.

"You guys sleep so soundly!"

"Mark?" Xiao Yan rubbed his head and found that all the special forces were ready to go.
