"Lao Hu, how long do we plan to stay in this miserable place before we can go out?"
While Hu Biao was silently cursing the system for being such a scammer, Yang Dongli's words suddenly rang in his ears.
Faced with such a question, Hu Biao remained silent for a while.
As if asking for everyone's opinions, he expressed his own opinion:
"Those of us with strong bloodlines have actually recovered to the point where we can barely move, but the other injured people have only been out of danger for a short period of time, and it is difficult for them to even move on their own.
In addition, it has only been 5 days now. I believe that the devils outside are still more defensive, and it will be more difficult to sneak out of the city after going out.
How about we rest for another week and then find a way to get out."
"That's okay, right?"
Yang Dongli had been squatting in such a narrow tunnel for five days. Because the space was too small, it was usually difficult for Yang Dongli to stretch out, so he agreed speechlessly.
In fact, there is no need for Hu Biao to explain. The above simple truths cannot be guessed by Yang Dongli's vivid thinking.
The main reason was that I was a little too emotionally depressed after spending so much time in the tunnel.
But Yang Dongli's voice fell. The black Chinese medicine doctor who had just examined the injury of a veteran couldn't help but ask the question he was most concerned about:
"Lao Hu, after we fight out, where do we plan to evacuate, and how do we trigger the third phase of the mission? Do you want to practice with other troops, medical staff, and wounded people in the city?"
From the questions in this guy's mouth, everyone could clearly hear the little thought in his heart. Of course, he was still thinking about such a charming little nurse.
Suddenly, all the guys lowered their voices and started laughing.
Faced with such a problem, Hu Biao had already had a proper idea, so after laughing at the turbulent thoughts of the black Chinese medicine practitioner.
After sorting out the language, he immediately answered:
"After leaving the city, of course we will go to Nanyue Hengshan Mountain, which is only a few dozen kilometers away from Hengyang City. If everyone works hard, we can probably get there in one night.
As long as we reach Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, with the huge terrain of seventy-two peaks there, we can rely on guerrilla warfare and don't have to worry about the Japs' pursuit and encirclement.
There is no need to worry about food. Mountain springs, game animals, wild vegetables, what kind of things are there?
By the way! After arriving at Nanyue Hengshan Mountain, you can also find some herbal medicine to treat the wounded with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.
But you are such a little nurse. For the sake of the lives of so many of us, we have no way to take them away together; everything depends on your future fate and whether you can meet it."
After hearing this, the black Chinese medicine doctor let out a long sigh and became inexplicably depressed...
******
In the days that followed, just such a group of people followed the plan they had discussed before. They were a little bored, but they could only stay in such a tunnel.
But as everyone's injuries and spirits gradually recovered, these guys felt waves of tremendous suffering.
So, whenever there was no movement above their heads, they began to chat for a long time.
At first, these guys just talked about the delicacies of their hometowns, which made themselves and others salivate at the taste of broken cans of little devils.
Then, these guys took turns bragging.
In my previous life, there were some, no, awesome things.
Then, when the time came for the 11th day after entering the tunnel, which was the penultimate day before they planned to escape, these people had nothing new to talk about for a while.
Finally, after Hu Biao couldn't bear it any longer, he tactfully asked the swordsman:
"Swordsman, after this mission is over, are you really ready to leave?
Don’t worry! What I, Hu Biao, have said will always count. No matter what decision my brothers make, as long as they tell me in advance, they will definitely understand it and I won’t blame you.”
The reason why Hu Biao's statement was so slightly euphemistic.
That is, there are Zhao Shanhe and several other Fruit Army soldiers in the tunnel now. There are things about the system that cannot be said directly.
After hearing this, the swordsman's initially playful and smiling expression immediately became serious.
He took out the last half of a cigarette from his arms, lit it, took a long puff, and then said to himself:
"Yes, that's what I decided when I came here this time. I originally wanted to say it at the end, but since you asked, let's say it first.
I know this is a bit unfair, but I really have no choice!
In fact, when I first participated in the mission, I had just finished the most important surgery in my life, and I was in the recovery period at the time.
I suffered a serious injury while at work; the doctor said at that time that I would be disabled for the rest of my life and would have to lie in bed for the rest of my life.
That was the most difficult and dark period of my life, because I was the only son in our family.
If I really become disabled, what will happen to my parents at home? Besides, I am just starting to work, and I am still quite young. I still have many ideas and wishes that I have not yet fulfilled.
Even during this most difficult time in my life, my girlfriend did not leave me; she was a gentle and kind-hearted girl from Jiangsu Province in the south, who always worked hard to encourage me.
To be honest, without her encouragement and comfort, I might have done anything stupid at that time.
Then slowly, with the encouragement of her and my family, I began to live with an optimistic attitude, receive treatment, and exercise, and then a miracle happened.
Finally, after the surgery before I joined the mission, the doctor told me that as long as the wound healed, I could live like a normal person.
So I made a vow that as long as I get better in this life, I must work hard and treat this girl well.
At the end of this month, we are getting married. Looking at her bright smiling face, I feel that that is the biggest objection in my life; and continuing to participate in the mission will obviously violate the vows made in the past.
So brothers, I’m sorry, my swordsman is a shameful deserter..."
As the swordsman spoke slowly and for a long time, everyone in the tunnel became silent. Speaking of which! Among all the great men present, who has not had one or two relationships that he can't let go of?
Even Hu Biao still has a memorable past with that Da Bolian.
Even after Xu Feng thought of something, he forcibly took out the steel cigarette case from Hu Biao's pocket and lit one of the only cigarettes.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, he said lonely:
"Swordsman, no matter what happens in the future, I will treat you as my brother; even if your memory is erased in the real world, we can still get to know each other again and be friends."
In the end, it was Hu Biao, the commander of the team, who spoke:
"It's okay, brother, we can understand your decision, and we would do the same if it were in your place; if you are not responsible for your own woman, everything else you say will be false.
Don’t worry! No matter what happens to the Zhongzhou team in the future, you will always be our brother.
But don’t listen to what that guy Xu Feng said, in order not to implicate you for some things, we will not contact you again in the future, just live your life well."
Under Hu Biao's words, the swordsman, whose eyes were red, nodded his head heavily.
Then, he handed a photo album into Hu Biao's hands from his backpack, which contained some precious photos he took with his camera starting from the first mission.
When Hu Biao reached out and took the photo album, the swordsman said solemnly:
"Lao Hu, let me die in such a mission in the end, right?"
Hu Biao didn't say anything, but with that important point in his head, he agreed to his adjutant's request.
For a long period of time that followed, no one had the intention to talk anymore, especially the thoughts in the hearts of the team members were even more complicated.
Mainly because they realized it as the team and system tasks continued.
There will always be new members joining, and brothers who have shared life and death will quit. This thing is just like life, full of unspeakable regrets and surprises.
