My Military Career in a Parallel World

Although Jiang Chen is ready to sacrifice himself, it does not mean that he must die.

Along the way, Jiang Chen was also thinking about ways to escape.

For example, as shown in TV dramas, you can find something to hold the accelerator against and aim the vehicle in the right direction to let it drive into the gap, or you can jump out of the car in advance and let the vehicle use its inertia to slide into the embankment, etc.

However, once the truck reached the dam, he abandoned the idea.

The embankment is now full of sandbags. If no one is to control it, the truck may overturn into the reservoir halfway.

Therefore, he had to hold the steering wheel until the vehicle accurately rushed into the gap.

Moreover, in order to ensure that the truck could block the gap steadily and accurately and not be washed away by the flood, he had to step on the accelerator at the last moment to ensure that the truck had enough kinetic energy and would not crash headfirst into the dam...

In order to survive in this situation, Jiang Chen can only rely on two things.

The physical fitness and military skills he had developed in the army and the dream space over the past year, as well as the life jacket he was wearing now.

Jiang Chen was extremely glad that he had set an all-round development strategy early on and had consistently taken action, without wasting the golden finger given to him by God.

If he did not have his current physical fitness, he would not be able to seize the chance of survival even if it was right in front of him.

"Fuck, look, isn't that the guy driving the car the squad leader?!"

Seeing Jiang Chen kick open the car door, Wang Hai, who had just thrown sandbags into the car with others, couldn't help but exclaimed.

After hearing Wang Hai's call, Zhang Tao, Liu Meng and other people from Class 5 recognized Jiang Chen at the first moment.

Watching him driving towards the gap in the dam, everyone was unable to react for a moment.

It's not their fault. Zhang Tao was a soldier in Qinghai-Tibet. Floods were only news to him. This was his first time to participate in flood relief.

Liu Meng is in a similar situation.

"Sergeant, what are you doing?!" Liu Meng asked stupidly.

Wang Hai, who had participated in flood relief and rescue operations before, certainly knew what Jiang Chen was going to do. He opened his mouth to explain, but didn't know how to say it.

"He is a hero, a real hero!"

Suddenly, a low voice came from behind them. Everyone turned around subconsciously and saw that Hong Haijiang had come behind them at some point.

"hero?"

Everyone was still a little confused and didn't know what Hong Haijiang meant.

There was no need for anyone else to explain. The next second, several people understood the meaning of Hong Haijiang's words.

-

Jiang Chen kept adjusting the direction, aiming at the gap in the collapsed dam. When there were only ten meters left, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and increased the speed to the maximum...

Boom~

With a loud bang, the truck rushed directly into the gap in the dam against the flood. The sandbags loaded in the car and the weight of the truck itself blocked the originally violent water flow.

All those who had witnessed Jiang Chen's heroic feat had lost the ability to speak at this moment. They stood there in a daze, staring at the place where the truck rushed down, speechless for a long time.

The face and eyes of the rescue commander Yan Yisong were red and his sadness was evident.

However, as a veteran who had led a team to participate in flood control missions, he quickly recovered from his grief. Looking at the soldiers standing there in a daze, he could not help but roared, "Quick, don't just stand there like idiots. Go and carry the sandbags and plug the gap for me!

Don’t let the blood of heroes be shed in vain!!!”

Although Yan Yisong shouted this, he still ran to the gap in the dam as soon as possible, looking at the still turbulent water, trying to find something.

Others who did the same thing included Hong Haijiang and the people from Class 5 who witnessed it all.

……

In the yellow-brown flood filled with mud and sand, Jiang Chen was holding on to the pulled-out safety belt with both hands to avoid being washed away by the flood.

According to Jiang Chen's previous idea, he was prepared to jump out of the car and escape at the last moment when the truck rushed into the gap.

However, despite all his considerations, he forgot the most important point.

The gap in the dam had been continuously expanding, and the sandbags on the edge had long since become loose under the impact of the flood. A large truck suddenly came over, and the already extremely loose sandbags collapsed in an instant.

Moreover, due to the sudden collapse of the sandbags, the direction of the truck's travel also changed.

In a hurry, Jiang Chen had no time to think and could only temporarily give up the plan of jumping out of the car and hold the steering wheel tightly again to adjust the direction.

The consequence of doing this was that he missed the chance to jump out of the car and escape.

It was also because of Jiang Chen's efforts that although the direction of the truck deviated, it finally ended up being stuck firmly in the middle of the gap in a sideways manner, and the raging flood slowed down instantly.

As for Jiang Chen himself, when he was about to be washed away by the flood, he reached out and grabbed the seat belt next to the driver's seat.

"Director, Director, look, look in the water, the person is still alive!"

Hong Haijiang lay on the shore, his eyes fixed on the location of the truck.

Suddenly, a flash of orange appeared in the yellow-brown water.

That was the color of the life jacket, there was no way he could be wrong!

Hong Haijiang instantly became alert, shouting as he got up from the ground.

"what?"

Yan Yisong was stunned for a moment, then after he realized what was going on, he also became excited.

"What are you waiting for? Save them!"

"Rope, rope, bring the rope over here!"

The people in Class 5 took action without hesitation.

"Captain, hold on, we'll come to rescue you soon!"

Everyone on the shore was busy rescuing people, but Jiang Chen in the water had no time to pay attention to these things.

What is the greatest danger to humans in a flood?

In addition to the surging water, there are more debris, trees and the wreckage of various buildings mixed in the flood.

There was too much mud and sand in the water, Jiang Chen couldn't open his eyes at all, let alone see what was in front of him.

A fist-sized piece of gravel, under the impact of the water, hit Jiang Chen's left shoulder like a cannonball. His left hand loosened subconsciously, and only one of the two hands that had been holding the seat belt was still holding on.

However, it was precisely because of the pain of the stone hitting his body that Jiang Chen's confused brain regained clarity.

He knew that at this time, he couldn't let go no matter what.

Once you let go...

If I don't do it well, I will really have to receive the first-class merit.

However, if I die like this, it seems like it would be nice to get a first-class merit.

I already have the second and third class merits, and if I can get the first class merit, I will be able to complete the achievement of collecting medals of honor...

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Chen inexplicably wanted to laugh.

He was amused by his own thoughts.

I am clearly on the verge of life and death, and might go to see Ma Xsi in the next second. How can I still have the mood to think about these things?

It is said that before a person dies, scenes of his previous life will appear before his eyes. Jiang Chen felt that he was in a similar situation now.

His mind was full of thoughts and countless images flashed before his eyes. There were his experiences in his past life and the memories of the original owner, but most of them were memories of the year after he traveled through time.

I don’t know how Li Qiang is doing now, and whether he is still thinking about joining the reconnaissance company or the special forces.

When I called this kid at the training team before, he couldn't explain anything.

And Zhang Meng should be a corporal now. If he stays in the army for another year, he will be a non-commissioned officer, which means he has made it big.

If you can hold on for a few more years, work for twelve years, you can get a regular job when you return.

And there is the cook Xiaopang, who is always thinking about the beef of the dog squad leader.

Squad Leader Wang from the kitchen squad said it all.

The military dogs’ food must be put into their mouths!

This kid just won’t listen. Sooner or later he will be chased and bitten by the dog squad leader!

And Chu Fei...

This kid should be living a comfortable life.

As a young master from Beijing, he has connections in the army and gets a job in the office directly after completing his training as a recruit. Don’t you think your life is too comfortable?

What a pity, there was no chance for these guys to stand at attention, salute and say, "Hello, Chief."

And that damn officer's uniform!

You said that the school has to send it out no matter whether it is early or late, so why not send it out earlier.

The staff of the regiment said that I would look very handsome in a dress.

And what does the first-class merit look like?

Is it the same as the second and third class merits, except that the words engraved on them are different...

Grandpa, dad, mom and little sister will definitely be very sad after seeing the suicide note.

I used to think that in the future I would be able to be like my grandfather, with a row of medals on my chest. By then, my grandfather would definitely be very happy...

Jiang Chen thought a lot. In the past year in the army, the people he met and the words he heard turned into pictures that kept flashing before his eyes.

-

The gravel kept hitting his body under the impact of the water flow, and the pain kept stimulating Jiang Chen's nerves. He clearly felt his physical energy was rapidly draining away, and the fingers holding the seat belt gradually became weak...

"Captain, grab my hand!"

Suddenly, a voice came from above my head, the picture in front of my eyes disappeared, and the yellow-brown flood filled my vision again.

A hand broke through the water and stretched out in front of him. The instinct for survival made Jiang Chen wake up again.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen used up the last bit of strength in his body to grasp the outstretched hand.

It was just such a simple action, but it seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Jiang Chen's left shoulder had been hit hard by a rock before, and now his right hand, which was holding the safety belt, had loosened. With only his injured left hand, he could not resist the impact of the water.

At this time, the importance of life jackets is reflected.

After releasing his right hand that was holding the safety belt, the life jacket on his body suddenly lifted Jiang Chen up.

A second before being washed away by the current, he stretched out his right hand and tightly grasped Zhang Wuqiang's arm.

Above the embankment, Zhang Wuqiang had a rope tied around his waist, one hand holding the railing of the truck, and the other hand reaching into the water.

Feeling the power transmitted from his arm, a hint of joy flashed across his face. While holding Jiang Chen's forearm with his palm, he shouted loudly behind him: "I found the squad leader, pull me up!"

On the shore, Hong Haijiang and the other members of Class 5 who were holding the rope did not delay after hearing this. Several people simultaneously pulled the two people out of the water...

-

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... ugh~"

With everyone's concerted efforts, Zhang Wuqiang and Jiang Chen were pulled out of the water.

Zhang Wuqiang was slightly better, but he was a little weak due to excessive physical exertion.

Jiang Chen was in such a bad condition that he lay on the sandbag as soon as he got ashore, coughing and spitting out mud and water.

"Huff, huff, huff...boy, are you okay?" Hong Haijiang slumped on the side, breathing heavily. He looked at Jiang Chen who was lying on the ground vomiting yellow water, and couldn't help asking.

"No... Ugh... Ugh..."

It would have been fine if he didn't speak, but once he started talking, Jiang Chen vomited even more violently.

He wanted to wave his hands to indicate that he was fine.

But before he could raise his arm, a trace of blood slowly seeped through his camouflage uniform.

Not only the arms, but also the shoulders, back, and thighs, all had blood seeping through the clothes.

The most serious injury was on the hands that were holding the seat belts. The backs of Jiang Chen's hands and fingers had bruises to varying degrees, and the left hand was more serious. There was a wound several dozen centimeters long that spread from the back of his hand to his shoulder.

The entire sleeve was stained red with blood, and one could even vaguely see the white bones under the skin on the shoulder.

There was also blood on the head that slowly flowed down the cheeks.

Jiang Chen has been vomiting non-stop since he got ashore, not only because he drank too much muddy water, but also because of a mild concussion.

"Quick, medic! Come and save them!"

"Stretcher, stretcher, send the people to the camp first. There are military doctors in the camp!"

After successfully escaping danger, the adrenaline gradually faded away, and Jiang Chen's consciousness became blurred as he vomited.

He only heard a noisy sound in his ears, and then he closed his eyes and fainted.

This was the first time Jiang Chen fell into a coma.

However, he did not lose consciousness immediately as imagined, but instead appeared in the dream space.

However, this time Jiang Chen could no longer perceive any information from the outside world, let alone leave the dream space on his own initiative.

However, he was not too worried.

Jiang Chen guessed that this was probably because he was seriously injured and lost consciousness.

Anyway, I'm out of danger now, so I just need to wait for my body to recover. Then I should be able to enter and exit this magical dream world freely like before.

The injuries outside could not affect the dream space. Jiang Chen had nothing to do anyway, so he simply used this time to continue training.

It just so happened that he wanted to try it out again to see if he could find a better solution.

There is no need to be seriously injured and lose consciousness like now, not knowing when you will wake up.

We have to continue to adhere to the development strategy of the Hexagonal Warriors. Maybe we can save our lives someday.

This time, Jiang Chen was able to escape death and hold on until the rescue arrived. In addition to his strong willpower and excellent physical fitness, the water skills he developed in the reconnaissance company also played a very important role.

Countless armed swimming and swimming training have made Jiang Chen clearly know what to do after falling into the water and how to save himself.

Without these, he would not have been able to hold on until Zhang Wuqiang arrived.

The only pity is that we missed the reconnaissance company’s biannual sea training.

Otherwise, maybe he could have handled the situation better after falling into the water just now.

Jiang Chen thought he would wake up soon.

However, he waited for more than 700 hours in one month...
