Rebirth: Don't Want to Be Hot-blooded

There were no more gunshots in the quiet night, but even An Chuxia couldn't sleep at this time.

It's impossible to say that she is not tired. After all, An Chuxia is really tired after a few days. She is challenging her limits almost every day. Let alone a bed, now she can even sleep while standing.

But now they have no news at all, and have no idea whether they are in danger or not. No matter how careless I am, I can't sleep.

Instead of going back to her room, she went to the office with the veteran and waited.

It’s called an office, but it’s just a place about the same size as their lounge. Apart from a simple desk, the most complicated thing is the radio.

Although An Chuxia knew how, she did not intervene. She just sat aside and watched him contact the group and explain the situation here.

Then he asked, "If something really happens...how long will it take for the regiment to send reinforcements here?"

"Two days." The old soldier answered without thinking.

He sighed helplessly, "So we need to notify them now and get them ready. If they need support, they can set off immediately, which can save time."

After hearing his words, An Chuxia nodded subconsciously, "Do you... often encounter such situations?"

Hearing her words, the old soldier chuckled and said, "This is a border checkpoint, and it is a checkpoint bordering Country Y."

He did not explain, but asked, "Do you know why the checkpoint is set up here?"

An Chu hesitated for a moment, thinking about what he had just said, and said subconsciously, "Because this place is important?"

"Of course." The old soldier said without thinking, "Although our border is long, it is in the mountains and most of the places are not suitable for people to cross."

"It's the only place. The few routes that can be passed are all nearby, so we set up a checkpoint here."

"We have to patrol all year round, especially in weather like this. The rainier and windier the weather, the more likely they are to show up. They want to take advantage of weather like this."

An Chuxia nodded in understanding, "Then I understand, so Squad Leader Xie took advantage of the rain to patrol Yunhukou."

"Yeah, every time it's rainy or windy, we don't patrol unless we are absolutely sure that no one can leave."

"Otherwise, you must go out for a walk."

He looked at her and said, "You don't know how powerful Xie Ban is. He is really good at catching people. He can judge the most suitable place based on the weather conditions, and he can even predict where the opponent will come in from."

"Even if he can't catch him, in such heavy rain, he can still find traces and bring him back."

Hearing him say this, An Chuxia immediately understood what Xia Lan meant when she said that this place couldn't do without Squad Leader Xie.

But thinking of this, I couldn't help but become more worried, "Then... does this gunshot mean that there is real danger?"

The veteran sighed with emotion, "There is only one gunshot now, so we are not sure whether they are in danger or have discovered the enemy."

He looked at her and said, "You don't have to worry too much. This kind of thing is very normal for us. You just need to get used to it."

"With Xie Ban here, nothing will happen. Not to mention that Staff Officer Xia and the others are following to look for people. There is nothing to worry about."

Although she said that, An Chuxia was still worried.

She thought it was going to be the most peaceful night, but all these things happened suddenly, making her unable to calm down.

I stood up and looked at the heavy rain outside the window. It was magical that even such heavy rain did not blow in into such a shabby house.

It seems that he has dealt with it a lot and made a lot of preparations in the past.

This seems to be their understanding of border defense. It looks casual at ordinary times, and the whole compound is like a farm house, but once a problem occurs, they immediately become tense.

She had never expected that they would enter combat mode immediately without any preparation.

Standing there, An Chuxia looked at the rain outside which showed no sign of stopping, and sighed secretly again.

She had walked in the woods these days and knew how difficult the roads in the woods were to walk on. She could imagine how difficult it would be for them to walk in such weather.

But no matter how worried she was, she seemed unable to help. This was the first time she felt so powerless since coming here.

At that moment, An Chuxia even had the urge to follow along.

This can really be said to have never happened before.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely make the most rational and correct judgment immediately, would not put herself in danger, and would not drag others down.

But today, at that moment, she really didn't want to follow without any thought. There was only one thought in her mind, which was to save people, to save squad leader Xie who was smiling as he watched her eat chicken.

Maybe this is what Xia Lan meant by comradeship. She was shocked when she saw people getting injured in the recruit company.

But when you really have a bond with these people, then thinking about them being in danger or even getting hurt is really different.

But now she can't do anything and even needs protection from others.

For the first time, she really had the urge to become stronger, not for anything else, just so that she wouldn't have to hide behind at this time.

"Go back and get some sleep. They won't be back for a while." The old soldier saw her standing there and finally spoke, "There's no point waiting here. If anything happens, I'll call you."

An Chuxia came back to her senses, "What about you?"

"I can sleep here." The old soldier pointed to the camp bed behind him, "It's a good place to keep an eye on the radio."

"You don't have anything to do here, so why don't you go back and rest? Then you'll have the energy when something really happens."

These words persuaded her. There was no point in waiting here now. It would be better to go back and rest and maintain her strength.

Although she knew that the chances of her being of use were slim, if she were really needed, how critical would the situation be?

But she had to make preparations. After all, no one knew the current situation, not to mention that she really couldn't do anything if she stayed here.

So he finally nodded and turned back to his room.

But I used to be able to fall asleep as soon as I lay down, but now I lay in the quiet room again. Although I still felt tired, I couldn't fall asleep.

She clearly hadn't cared about the bed opposite her before. After all, she was so tired that she wanted to die, so how could she have the mind to take care of Xia Lan?

But now that he's not here, I always feel like something is missing, and the uneasiness in my heart shows no sign of stopping.

It’s not like I haven’t seen actual combat before, but those two battles were almost all fought by the regiment’s combat squads, and there were even planned ambushes.

But this time it was different. It was just Squad Leader Xie with a few people, and no one knew who they were facing.

The more I thought about these things, the more I couldn't sleep.

So he stopped insisting, just sat up and looked outside again.

There was no lighting in the camp, and there was no moonlight on a rainy day, so it was pitch black inside and outside the room.

She noticed that the lights on the veteran's side had been turned off. She didn't know whether it was because he was really resting or if there was some other reason why the lights could not be turned on.

She didn't dare to turn on the light and could only sit in the dark room, looking at the shadows outside.

In this situation, if it happened in her previous life, she wouldn't know how scared she would be.

But now, I don’t feel scared at all, it seems that I am already occupied by worry.

Just when she didn't know how long she had been sitting there, a sound suddenly came from outside.

An Chuxia sat up with a start and subconsciously wanted to run out.

But then he thought of something, grabbed his gun, slowed down, and walked out carefully.

"Squad leader..." At this moment, the veteran's voice came.

Then she saw several people coming out of the woods, and she instantly became more energetic.

Before they could react, he rushed out, "Staff Officer Xia!"

Xia Lan, who was walking in the team, saw her and smiled helplessly, "How dare you run out without even looking at who it is?"

"I heard the screams, and you came out, how could I not recognize you?" An Chuxia said without thinking.

Xia Lan saw that she was still holding a gun in her hand, and nodded with satisfaction, "That's not bad, it's not in vain that I taught you."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, An Chuxia knew without even looking that it was probably nothing serious.

But she also subconsciously looked behind her, and seeing squad leader Xie who was a little dirty, she immediately smiled and greeted him.

But when he looked again, he found that there was a middle-aged man in the team. He looked a little disheveled and his hands were tied.

An Chuxia was confused, "You... caught it?"

Squad leader Xie burst out laughing. "This guy wants to cross the finish line on a rainy night. How can it be that easy?"

"I thought he was a desperate criminal who dared to rush the checkpoint, but I didn't expect that just firing a shot to scare him would make him almost wet his pants."

When An Chuxia heard this, she immediately reacted, "You... that shot was scary?"

Squad Leader Xie said directly, "Of course, why else do you think there was only one shot?"

"When we got there, we were still a step too late. He had already run away. It took some effort to chase him, so we just shot him to scare him."

He laughed as he spoke, "I thought that if I could delay the time, I would be able to catch him more easily. I didn't expect that I would be scared to death by a single shot."

Seeing that they were all fine and the person had been caught, An Chuxia's worries finally disappeared.

But hearing him say these things as if they were a joke, I still felt a little strange.

Because she knew that in such weather and under such circumstances, catching someone would definitely not be as easy as he said.

But when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Xia Lan patted her with a smile, "Why, are you worried about us?"

An Chuxia came back to her senses, looked at her and nodded slightly, "Of course I'm worried. You all ran away and left me here alone. I'd be worried if I didn't."

"There is no communication or intelligence. We can only sit in the room and wait..."

Xia Lan laughed out loud, "That can't be helped. Our communication level is limited."

"It's not that we don't want to, but we don't have the ability."

Then he looked at her and said, "If you want to follow me in such a situation in the future, it's not impossible, but you have to become stronger first."

"At least you have the ability to protect yourself on the battlefield, so I dare to bring you with me. Otherwise, you can only be a guard at home."

An Chuxia came back to her senses and didn't expect that she was waiting for her here.

He sighed helplessly, "I don't want to follow you at all. You'd better not take me with you next time you patrol the line. I'll be at the regiment headquarters to look after the house. It's better if I don't see you and I don't get bothered. "

Seeing that her persuasion failed again, Xia Lan could only shake her head and said, "Okay, now that the person is back, you don't have to worry. Go back and rest."

"We have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Hearing her words, An Chuxia immediately realized something, "Could it be related to that person?"

As he said this, he looked up at the middle-aged man who had been pressed away.

It can be seen that although the man is in a disheveled state, his attire is not like that of an ordinary person. Even a warlord in Country Y would not have that kind of combat uniform.

And if a person like this suddenly crosses the line alone, does that mean... he is not a drug dealer or other criminal, but an important person?

Xia Lan nodded. "Let's take him back and try him as soon as possible."

He patted her and said, "Don't ask anything else."

An Chuxia immediately understood that this was confidential again, and immediately said, "Okay, then I have to go to sleep now, otherwise I might not have enough energy tomorrow."

Hearing her words, Xia Lan was a little surprised, "You didn't sleep when we left?"

"How can I sleep when you're not here and I'm not sure what happened?" An Chuxia said as the two of them returned to the room.

Xia Lan looked at her in surprise, "I thought you would fall asleep no matter what the situation was."

She had to admit that she really didn't expect An Chuxia to react like this. After all, she had always been calm and rational, and even when facing actual combat, she didn't show too much fear, which had already left Xia Lan with a fixed stereotype.

An Chuxia even felt that even if they were not there, she would be able to sleep anyway as she had nothing to do.

But I didn't expect that he had been waiting for them all the time. Even when he went out to greet them, he first determined whether they were his own people before jumping out. This awareness was already worthy of Xia Lan's praise.

But after looking at An Chuxia, he suppressed his praise.

He just smiled and said, "Then I really want to thank you for waiting for me. It's really not easy."

"Yes, Chief, can you rest now?" An Chuxia looked at her helplessly.

Xia Lan laughed out loud, "Go to sleep."

An Chuxia just lay down, and suddenly thought of something, "Oh, right, I heard from the veterans here that it only takes two days to get back to the regiment headquarters from here?"

Xia Lan responded, "We won't go back the same way."

"We can go through another road. Someone will meet us on the main road. We can get in a car and we will definitely arrive within two days."

After hearing her explanation, An Chuxia was immediately delighted and sat up, "So... we don't have to take the mountain road anymore?"

Then he thought of something else, "Oh, yes, we can also take a car. Do I dare to think about it?"

Xia Lan looked at her helplessly, but also said with a smile, "Yes, there is a car available."
