monster battlefield

Chapter 2 Dream and Reality

After being stunned for a while, the man asked Zhou Shu again in shock: "Your age...are you a recruit? Did you go to the battlefield without any training?"

Zhou Shu roughly understood this sentence, and it was also thanks to the foreign gun battle game. Looking at the slightly familiar face of the other party, he nodded hesitantly.

"In my current situation, I should be considered a new recruit, right?"

"I don't know who the enemy is, so I didn't miss a single shot, so I followed behind my "teammates"."

"A teammate fell, and before he could switch behind another teammate, he ran into this senior teammate who also doesn't know how to use weapon insurance..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Shu looked at the person in front of him again.

Although this guy didn't know how to open the weapon's safety lock, his stubbled face was full of embarrassment, his skin was a little slack, and his vicissitudes were even more evident after being stained with dirty water. He didn't look like a serious recruit.

However, Zhou Shu only roughly understood the two sentences of the other party, and he did not guarantee 100% accuracy. What if the insurance was broken instead of being unable to open it?
He himself really didn't know where the device for controlling the gun safety on the joystick was.

But where did you see this vicissitudes of life?

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration!
Hugging stubble, a small pimple on his face, muddy face, wearing a cumbersome powered exoskeleton, on the beach battlefield where wars are raging...

Isn't this... Uncle Ah Tang?
Well, although the age gap between the two is indeed very large, their nickname is "Brother Cruise", so let's call him Brother Cruise.

He has watched the "Mission: Impossible" series, "War of the Worlds", "Oblivion", "Edge of Tomorrow" and so on.

Yes, it is "Edge of Tomorrow", Zhou Shu remembered!

It seems that he returned to the dormitory after watching the meteor shower at night, watched a video at station B after washing up, and happened to come across an interpretation video of "Edge of Tomorrow", and fell asleep after watching it.

So... is this really a dream? ?

But if it's a dream, isn't it too real?
He had never had such a dream.

If it wasn't a dream, then combined with some special circumstances of his own, maybe...

Just as he was thinking about it, he was awakened by Cruise's "Oh Richette".

He looked at Brother Cruise, but Brother Cruise looked behind him in shock, and hurriedly lay down to the side to dodge.

Zhou Shu stepped back curiously and turned his head to look behind him, only to see a ball of fire rushing towards him with a long spiral of black smoke! !
"boom--"

The flame hit his chest, and he felt numb all over in an instant, followed by a severe pain in his chest!

"Uh……"

This pain directly broke the string in his mind and made his vision go dark.

………………

Dongyuan No. [-] Middle School, early morning.

Except for the necessary lighting places, the whole school is completely dark.

In Boys Dormitory 204, six students are sleeping soundly.

When you enter the door, you can see two double-layer iron beds. On the lower bunk near the door, there is a student who is snoring gently. The students slept peacefully.

On the other side was a double-decker iron frame bed. The student on the lower bunk slept soundly, but his upper bunk did not sleep very well.

Dongyuan City is located in the North China Plain. It is the capital of Jizhou, the head of the 27 prefectures of the Great Qin Empire. The night temperature in early April was not high, and it was below 10 degrees in the early morning, but the student on the upper bunk slept profusely.

Not only sweating, but also shaking.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, opened his mouth and yelled!
"what--"

This scream directly activated the silent dormitory.

"Fuck!"

"Ah? What's the matter?!"

"Fuck, I'm scared to death!"

"what happened?"

The people who were awakened immediately picked up their mobile phones and turned on the flashlight function to take photos everywhere, trying to find out which grandson didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and howled ghosts and wolves here!
After the light came and went, every person who was illuminated had an expression of "Show me dry hair", until the light gathered on a man who sat up with his hands on his chest, and then he was terrified and sweating profusely. on people.

"Uh……"

At first, several roommates wanted to reprimand him loudly, but when they saw his miserable appearance, they immediately turned into greetings from roommates in a gentle and gentle manner.

"My dear friend, are you okay?"

"Brother Ren, what's wrong with you?"

"Zhou Shu, you are not having a nightmare, are you?"

"Brother" and "Brother Ren" are both nicknames, while "Zhou Shu" is called by name directly.

Hearing his name, Zhou Shu looked over in shock.

The light of the phone was a bit dazzling, so he immediately raised his hand to block it, but just as he raised his hand, he thought that his chest had been blasted through by a fireball, so he quickly pressed it back.

Although he didn't speak, all the roommates saw his movements, so they moved the lights away thoughtfully.

"Zhou Shu, are you okay?" a roommate asked.

Are you all right?
That's what he wanted to know too.

Zhou Shu felt strange. After pressing his hand back to his chest, he did not find a big hole. Although his hand touched something wet, when he raised it to his eyes, he saw that it was just sweat, not bloody.

Just as he was in a daze, he heard this question from his roommate.

So his thoughts turned instantly, and he immediately recalled what happened just now.

It may be because I watched a video related to "Edge of Tomorrow" before going to bed, so I dreamed about the relevant plot.

It's very reasonable!

Only the moment of dying on the beach at the end... felt so real!
He felt the heat of the fire, because before he died, he vaguely smelled the smell of burning protein, which was his own flesh being roasted.

Not to mention the actual feeling, just thinking about this situation makes my scalp tingle.

And speaking of real feelings, the pain that went straight into his brain when his chest was blown through, even if he woke up now, he could still recall that "really heart-piercing" pain.

But in fact, his chest was not injured at all, and he was fine.

He had experienced the feeling of weightlessness in the dream of falling from the plane in other dreams, such as the dream of jumping off a building, the dream of jumping high, and the dream of flying with vigorous arms and so on.

But this time, the feeling of sea water infiltration, sand friction, mechanical collision, etc. in the dream is too real.

If it was a dream, it shouldn't be so real, right?
It's not that he hasn't had dreams. Those dreams are either very illusory, with various streams of consciousness, or they are partial to reality, and he can't find a toilet because of urgency, and then... and so on.

But it was his first time to have such an extreme "sci-fi" and "real" dream.

Just as I was thinking about it, something suddenly flashed in my mind.

"Brother Zhou, how are you?"

Seeing Zhou Shu stunned, the roommates asked again.

"Ah, oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a nightmare."

Zhou Shu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, then got up and got out of bed and said, "It's quite cold today, you guys go on to sleep, I'll go to the bathroom to wash my face and calm down."

"Okay, then you should pay attention to yourself, don't catch a cold."

"Indeed, wash your face, wipe off the sweat on your body, and go to bed quickly, you will have morning self-study in a while."

"Don't stress too much, there are still two months until the college entrance examination."

"..."

"When you say that, I feel even more stressed!"

But seeing that he was really fine, everyone said a few words before going back to bed and going to sleep.

It's only 4 o'clock in the morning, the temperature is really low, and I have to get up and study early in a while, so I need to ensure sleep.

Seeing that everyone was lying back under the covers, Zhou Shu reached out to take the mobile phone and glasses from the pillow and went to the bathroom.

The dormitories of Dongyuan No. [-] Middle School all have separate bathrooms. When he passed by the cupboard, he took his own towel again. Finally, he checked in the dark and saw that no one else had moved, and then gently locked the door from the bathroom.

Turn on the light in the bathroom, and this small space belongs to him temporarily.

After washing his face, he calmed himself down with cold tap water, and then wiped the sweat off his body while thinking about things.

The reason why he was so careful was because something appeared in his mind just now, which made him think through something.
