【Flying Leaf】God of War

Opening his eyes again, he was greeted by the pale ceiling of the hospital, the bottle of hanging needles hanging above his head, and the colorless liquid was flowing into his body bit by bit along the plastic pipe... Sun Xiang was a little dazed, and it took a long time before he was as clear as day. Blinking as if waking up from a dream.There was no trace of moisture in the dry mouth, and he moved his chapped lips impatiently, letting out a small moan.

"You're awake..." Luo Ji lived in the same ward as him. He had just woken up from a nap, and his voice was still a little confused.He muttered a few words, then reached for the glasses on the bedside, and seeing Sun Xiang's blank expression, he couldn't help feeling sympathetic: "Well, do you want to eat something?" While saying this, While ringing the bell at hand.

The ear-piercing ringing made Sun Xiang almost bounce off the bed... He hadn't recovered from the previous actual combat, his mind was in a mess, and he instinctively tensed up when he was stimulated.But at this time, the effect of the anesthetic had not expired, and soon a sense of powerlessness hit him, forcing him to fall back on the bed again.

On the other hand, Luo Ji was taken aback by the other party's actions, and quickly comforted him loudly: "Well, calm down first..." Halfway through the conversation, Sun Xiang turned his head and asked, "Where's Ye Xiu?"

"I said... huh?"

"Where's Ye Xiu?" Sun Xiang looked at Luo Ji and repeated impatiently.

"Ye, platoon leader Ye came here before... and then went out to smoke with Boss Wei. What, what's the matter..." Stuttering the explanation, Luo Ji swallowed: "Then what about your injury?" It's serious, the higher ups have already approved the leave, so you don't have to be in such a hurry..."

"So, he's alright?" The image of Ye Xiu lying in a pool of blood had been flashing in his mind before, but now his first reaction after knowing that the other party was alright was to breathe a sigh of relief.Thoroughly relaxing his tense body and laying on his back on the bed, Sun Xiang closed his eyes, what echoed in his ears was his own heartbeat that slowed down after speeding up.

Even if he was stupid again at this moment, he should understand what happened.

"That... this is an assessment." Luo Ji looked at the man's face, and cautiously spoke again: "The higher-ups said it was to train our adaptability, combat ability, and psychological quality."

The explanation for this 'practical' assessment was directly conveyed by Zhang Xinjie. After formulating a series of assessment objectives, that rigorous man made a simple summary——

That is, those who passed stayed and those who failed left.

In fact, among the two platoons and dozens of people, less than half of them really persisted until they met the "criminals". The remaining half were eliminated by nature during this nearly one-month survival in the wild. At the end of the roadside, it was located and scanned and towed away by helicopter.Such people have already lost their qualifications the moment they lie on the hospital bed.

Thanks to Sun Xiang, Luo Ji stumbled all the way but persevered to the end.After Sun Xiang chose to go deep into the enemy camp alone, Luo Ji experienced a brief period of struggle and fear, but did not choose to sit still. Instead, he tried to use his ability to build some small traps, and finally successfully knocked down an enemy. , and obtain the weapon on the opponent.

But the moment Luo Ji raised his gun to aim at the enemy, he found that he was still unable to kill.

On the battlefield, a second of hesitation could cost one's life.

There is no doubt that he was hit by the opponent.

After waking up, Luo Ji lived in the same ward as Sun Xiang. It had been half a day since he woke up. During this period, Xiao Shiqin came to convey Zhang Xinjie's words and left in a hurry. Xiushi followed Xiao Shiqin through the door.

During the battle in the warehouse, Sun Xiang suffered heavy blows to the back of the head, plus various flesh and blood wounds all over his body, he was anesthetized and slept for a day and a half.And Ye Xiu woke up on a stretcher before he was taken to the hospital because of his own drug resistance since he was 'shot', and when he was done, he tugged on the white coat of the angel in white and said something to call your chief.

Yu Wenzhou, who was pretending to be a negotiator, had just finished taking off his makeup, when he turned his head and saw Ye Xiu leaning against the door with half a cigarette in his mouth, gesturing to shoot him.

"Bang." Ye Xiu blew on his fingertips pretentiously, and smiled: "If this had happened before, you would have died."

Yu Wenzhou smiled: "You know?"

"You guys have too many loopholes, it's hard to pretend to be stupid." Sighing, Ye Xiu raised his fingers and snapped them one by one: "First of all, I asked for help, even if the signal doesn't match in the second half. , it’s not like you couldn’t catch up for so long, it’s obviously intentional... Secondly, have you ever seen any terrorists who specialize in arresting people and not killing them?” Speaking of this, he couldn’t help shaking his head: “I’m going all the way Following you, you captured a dozen or so people at that time, and the movement of the whole team was relatively slow, but you didn't choose to leave one behind. It's a bit too obvious, isn't it? If you want to ask for information from the other party, one or two Personal enough."

"Our mistakes, after all, are not the real situation, and there must be loopholes." Yu Wenzhou didn't rush to refute, but nodded solemnly, with a serious face as if he was really learning a lesson: "Go on."

"What else to say? Have you ever seen a terrorist whose weapon is full of tranquilizer bombs?" Ye Xiu rolled his eyes: "It looks real, but the weight is a bit off."

At that time when Sun Xiang was fighting with someone, the opponent's weapon fell into the woods. Ye Xiu found something wrong the moment he picked it up, and then he dismantled the bomb as quickly as possible to check, and found that the bullet was special. Anesthesia and plasma are attached, and in order to be realistic, it is also covered with a thin layer of metal.

After playing with the bullet in his hand for a few seconds, Ye Xiu touched his chin, and he could basically guess the purpose of this assessment.

So he came all the way down, trying to avoid using the knife. After all, the saber is real, and it would be bad if he was accidentally injured; and he never took the initiative to shoot on the pretext that the sound of the gun would attract the enemy.

Ye Xiu knew it was fake, but Sun Xiang was still in the dark.This group of guys, together with the instructors, really strived to be realistic and acted to the extreme. In his words, they can form a group to win an Oscar.

As for himself, he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't know anything and continue to act.

"I've been shot for acting in this play with you, tell me, how will you compensate me?"

"Actually, it wasn't my idea, so I can't make the decision on this matter." Yu Wenzhou said calmly, with a gentle smile: "I think Staff Officer Zhang will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Tsk..." Ye Xiu pursed his lips, muttering that that serious guy would probably just use all kinds of formulaic reasons to prevaricate himself, and he had no intention of settling accounts after the autumn. What he was thinking about now was his group of soldiers.

No, I rushed to see it as soon as I got off the plane.

All the wounded, malnourished... In short, the soldiers who were brought back from the assessment site were gathered in a hospital, and Ye Xiu was easy to find, knocking on the door one by one with a list.Looking all the way down, the people who stay now are more or less unsuccessful.A few lively ones, such as Bao Rongxing, did not roll down after being 'shot' by the enemy in Gaopo, and his calf fractured, but fortunately, there was nothing serious, and it would be fine after a few days of care.

In the end, the kid insisted on getting off the bed with his injured leg on his shoulders, which made Ye Xiu put on the airs of an officer and ordered him to go back and lie down.

But there is one thing that Ye Xiu is very pleased with. No matter what he thinks in his heart, just looking at the surface, everyone accepted the arrangement of this organization. Now they are showing off their 'achievements' to each other.

Fang Rui said that although he was heroic in the end, at least he dragged two backs before he died. Lu Hanwen, who was in the same room with him, supported him. The AK who came over had a good time. Although he was knocked out by the opponent in the end, this trip was not in vain.

In contrast, Qiu Fei and Qiao Yifan's group was not so impulsive. These two children have a steady and careful personality. It can be said that they took the initiative to sneak into the enemy's camp to steal weapons and supplies, but they were accidentally discovered by the enemy. After going around for several hours, I finally got exhausted and was wiped out.

Even Ye Xiu was a little surprised when he heard the news, he looked at Qiu Fei and Qiao Yifan with some relief in his eyes.

As for Tang Hao and An Wenyi's group, Ye Xiu also noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a little more harmonious than before departure, although Tang Hao's face darkened instantly after hearing the truth.Ye Xiu didn't explain much, just smiled and comforted him, and then went to the next room.

Sun Xiang and Luo Ji were the last ones to be taken back to the hospital during this assessment. Among them, Sun Xiang was moved to a special ward because of his serious injuries, while Luo Ji was honored by him. Ye Xiu alone couldn't handle it, so Xiao Shiqin, as the company commander, had no choice but to go to condolences in person.As soon as he left the room, Ye Xiu came over.

"Yo, Xiao Xiao." The two met at the door, Ye Xiu nodded at each other, opened the door without saying anything, and went in, leaving Xiao Shiqin heaving a sigh of relief.

He was still a little nervous about whether the former great god would make trouble for him, it seemed that he was overwhelmed.

Looking at Ye Xiu, Sun Xiang was still awake the first time he came over, so he told Luo Ji about the general situation, and after a while, Wei Chen, who also came to visit his doctor, walked in, and the two of them After discussing it, I finally decided to go out and smoke a cigarette.

So Luo Ji, who was still in shock, just stared blankly at the two of them going out.

When he came back from smoking, he happened to meet the little nurse who brought them meals in the corridor. Ye Xiu decided to express his condolences to the injured comrades, and happily took the insulated box and delivered it to them himself.

At this time, Sun Xiang was digesting the news that Luo Ji had given him, and he didn't even react when someone entered the door. He didn't regain his senses until he waved a hand in front of him.

He blinked slowly and looked up the man's arm...

The familiar face is reflected in the pupils, with the usual sloppy smile.

It's Ye Xiu.

Seeing the other party staring at him in a daze, Ye Xiu couldn't help but pat him on the head: "Eat something."

I asked the little nurse before, and the kid bumped his head at the end and suffered a slight concussion, so even the movements of his hands were much softer than before.

It was just a pat, when Sun Xiang, who came back to his senses, shrank back awkwardly, and his face darkened.He took the lunch box in the other party's hand with a blank expression, lifted the lid and began to eat gruntingly.

This is really starving. I haven't eaten anything for nearly a month in the wild, and I only rely on salt water for the past few days... After the assessment, Sun Xiang lost a lot of weight, but his skin turned darker a lot, and his muscles also became thinner. Stronger.

Seeing the other party gobbling it up, Ye Xiu smiled and didn't say much. Instead, he moved a stool and sat in front of the bed, chatting with Luo Ji casually.

And Sun Xiang, who used the lunch box to cover his expression, had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment. During the time he lost consciousness, half of the time he was dreaming. In his sleep, Ye Xiu's blurred smiling face was covered with blood, shining in the dark light. However, it is extremely terrifying.

But what frightened him even more was that there was a big hole in the opponent's chest, and blood flowed out from the wound, gradually darkening the color of the combat uniform.

The lingering blood and gunpowder smoke lingered at the tip of the nose, and the bullets whistled past the ears, sparking on the floor.

It was the first time that Sun Xiang faced death so directly. On this deliberately painted battlefield, he clearly felt the taste of despair.

Like an endless black hole, bit by bit devouring his pride and hope.

With a stalk stuck in his throat, Sun Xiang choked and coughed for a while, and even his chest, which was wrapped in gauze, felt a dull pain.Ye Xiu at the side hastily stopped the conversation with Luo Ji and handed him a glass of water.

"Take it easy."

Still in that lazy tone, speaking casually...

Such a smiling face, such a voice——

In that dark, hopeless corner, say to him, live.

After pouring down a big gulp of boiled water, Sun Xiang remained silent for a rare time.

Having been deceived so many times, he was almost numb, or in other words, everything that happened before was still flashing in front of his eyes like a slideshow, and he was surrounded by dense emotions.There is anger, there is disappointment, it's just that these are ignored before the real despair.

Sun Xiang admitted that at the last moment, he really felt hopeless.

So at the moment when the truth was revealed, he was at a loss instead, his mind went blank, and he seemed to have forgotten how to think. At this moment, Sun Xiang only had one thought...

It's nice to be alive.

Looking at the other party's stiff expression, Ye Xiu more or less guessed what Sun Xiang was thinking.

The reason why recruits are recruits does not mean that their ability is inferior to that of veterans. The newness of recruits refers to the lack of experience.Soldiers who have never been on the battlefield cannot be called real soldiers. The reason why such an item is arranged in this assessment is to train their psychological quality and performance in actual combat.

Glory, the name sounds beautiful, but it is actually made of bullets and blood. Behind a soldier is the order they maintain with their lives...

Behind the scenery, there is also loss.

This may be cruel, but they must get used to it, and getting used to it does not mean forgetting, but learning to bear it.

No matter how heavy or heavy the burden is on your shoulders, you must grit your teeth, hold your chest high, and stand up!

While they represent glory, they also bear glory.

Because they are strong soldiers, and the blood flowing in their veins is burning at any time.

……

Sun Xiang lay in the hospital for less than half a month. When he was discharged from the hospital, it was already mid-November. During their assessment, he missed the National Day time. After discussing for a while, he decided to make up for it.

Taking advantage of the stage that had been set up long ago, the seniors of the Veteran Company arranged a series of programs this time, bringing together everyone who had been discharged from the hospital to be lively and lively.

Sun Xiang was sitting under the stage watching the show. During this period of time, he basically seldom spoke, as if a switch had been turned off by someone, and his emotions were not right, as if he was deliberately suppressing something.

A taut string, tremblingly persevered until now, but broke at the moment when the list was announced after the performance.

His mind went blank, and Zhang Xinjie's flat voice flashed in his mind over and over again, like a tape recorder stuck... Sun Xiang never knew that his memory was so good, he remembered the order in which everyone was read, every A personal name... But among the dozens of names, he is the only one missing.

The brain that had been blank for a long time was finally covered by overwhelming anger.

When Sun Xiang came to his senses, the alcohol filled his sense of taste, and the cold liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach, and he shivered.

After the performance, it was time for the party as usual. Chen Guo brought a few cases of beer from the small shop and was distributing them to everyone.Although many people are recovering from serious illnesses and are not suitable for drinking alcohol, this regulation has been completely ignored under the current situation. Many people drink with their stomachs open, and the glass bottles make a crisp sound when they collide.They're celebrating, celebrating that they're staying, celebrating that they're officially part of this place.

Only Sun Xiang occupied a corner by himself. He drank half a bottle of beer in his arms, hiccupped, and there were several empty wine bottles scattered under his feet.

Sun Xiang, who is not good at drinking, wanted to get drunk for the first time, to be completely drunk, so that he would not be able to feel those eyes that were constantly cast on him—those complicated and hesitant eyes, although they were not malicious, they were still poking at him like the point of a knife. His spine, embarrassment and humiliation.

No one came to comfort him, Sun Xiang didn't need comfort, he was as proud as he was, even if he failed in embarrassment, he would not accept anyone's pity.

With his drunken eyes wide open, he glared viciously at those guys who were trying to help him, stood up unsteadily, and walked away from the crowd with crooked steps.

The lonely figure in the moonlight looked rather pitiful.

Staggering to an empty corner, Sun Xiang leaned on the wall and began to vomit.The rising smell of alcohol made his face flushed, and he blinked hard, suppressing the roiling anger in his heart, those emotions that could not be vented were stuck in the middle, and his chest ached.

Ye Xiu, who had been following Sun Xiang, leaned against the wall and slowly lit a cigarette for himself.

"Among all the groups, only your group left the other behind and acted separately."

"..."

"You won't give up on your partner, but you won't trust him—the other party is not as bad as you imagined." Speaking of this, Ye Xiu looked at the other party's slightly trembling figure due to continuous vomiting, and sighed: "Who gave it to me?" your confidence?"

There was some irony in the casual tone, like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Sun Xiang's heart.

The trembling of his body stopped instantly, he turned around expressionlessly, and rushed forward.

He was knocked down quickly - he might not have hurt Ye Xiu even in his sober state, but now he was defeated even faster.Sun Xiang was lying on the ground gasping for breath, the alcohol in his body was fermenting, he just felt that the face in front of him became more and more hateful, and recalled everything that happened before, from the first encounter to the embarrassment after that, to the final deception and nonchalant Irony... New hatred and old hatred surged up together, mixed with some inexplicable complex emotions, mixed with anger, suppressing his chest, and he could hardly breathe.

Not wanting to maintain such an embarrassing posture, Sun Xiang struggled to sit up on the spot.After Ye Xiu put him down, he didn't continue to say anything. Instead, he turned around and left slowly - such a nonchalant attitude strongly stimulated Sun Xiang.Staring at the man's back, he bit his lower lip, his breathing visibly trembling, as if a fire was burning in his body, destroying what little sense he had.

The place where he was beaten in the fight just now was still hurting, and the air in his lungs was burning with every breath. He stood up with some difficulty, holding a stone that he touched when he got up.

Standing up, Sun Xiang's steps were a little shaky, and he couldn't even straighten his waist. Only his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have lost his mind.

The instinct brought about by the crisis made Ye Xiu pause for a moment. Just as he was about to turn his head away, he felt a gust of wind blowing. He had to turn his head to avoid it, but the sharp edge still scratched his forehead.

Sun Xiang saw that Ye Xiu's eyes changed.

The next second, his arm that hadn't been fully retracted was grabbed by the opponent, and before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, which forced him to bend down and groan.Ye Xiu clasped Sun Xiang's shoulders, stepped between the opponent's feet and pushed his knee against him. The force of his arm caused Sun Xiang's center of gravity to shift, and he fell to the ground directly.

After falling to the ground, Sun Xiang instinctively wanted to get up, but Ye Xiu raised his foot and stepped on his shoulder hard.

"Boy, are you tired of working?" Ye Xiu pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a slow puff.

His eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he cut Sun Xiang's body like a sharp knife. As the force under his feet became stronger and stronger, the rough soles of military boots rubbed against his skin through his clothes. He said hotly, "Still playing sneak attack with me?"

"..." Because of the pain, Sun Xiang was mostly sober, but he was still speechless.The severe blow to the abdomen caused him to convulse with every breath, his throat was dry and hoarse, and the acid water kept coming up.

Ye Xiu stared at the pained expression of the person under his feet, and those beast-like eyes filled with murderous intent made people feel a little uncomfortable.

He tilted his head and let out a puff of smoke.

The wound on his forehead was not big, but it was bleeding, covering half of his face. At this time, Ye Xiu looked a little scary, which made people feel intimidated.Sun Xiang looked into his eyes, and even instinctively wanted to escape, but when he thought that he had failed again just now, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and now he is even more stubborn and staring, refusing to admit defeat.

This kid is as stubborn as a bull.

Something in the bottom of my heart was slightly touched, and Ye Xiu's eyes softened a little, at least not as sharp as before.He bit the cigarette in his mouth, took out a tissue from his pocket, and wiped the blood on his face.

"You remember for me..."

The tone is vague, but the attitude is rare serious.

"This is not your glory alone."
