Why it never ends

Chapter 40 Recognition
Hesta was startled: "What do you cooperate with?"

"In the habitable area, I am responsible for fire support, but in the wilderness, I can do more things." Arnold replied, "There is no requirement to evacuate personnel and protect property in wilderness combat. It is far more important to use artillery shells to attack the enemy at a distance than in close combat." It is cost-effective. Therefore, in these operations, we can also be the main force of the battle. Only when the chelate tide crosses the final protection line, we need some mercury needles to go into battle to avoid accidents."

"...the final line of protection?"

"You'll learn it," Arnold said deliberately, "the furthest line of fire, the line of fire limitation, the final line of protection... You'll learn it when you start learning basic tactics in the future."

Hesta smiled, "Understood."

A few base employees who came here to run and exercise passed them by. Those people greeted Arnold, and Arnold nodded.Hesta found that many people here seemed to be familiar with Arnold-he had been teaching at the base for a long time.

"I have another question, instructor," Hesta asked, "Do the teachers in the base always provide one-on-one special training for the students? I haven't met any other new students until now, and they usually When are you training?"

Arnold laughed a few times, "Originally we could take a vacation this year."

"……originally?"

"According to the recruiting rhythm of the third district, generally speaking, it is every three years, with a one-year bye. If Qianye hadn't brought you here, there should be no new students here this year."

Hesta was surprised for a moment.

It seems that it's not that she hasn't met other newcomers, but that this year's newcomers are really only her.

……

At seven or eight o'clock at night, Hesta came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

She had already dealt with the abrasions in the afternoon, but the wounds became extremely sensitive after soaking in water. Every time she stepped on a step, she could feel the skin on her knees produce a dense pain due to deformation.

"It's very leisurely." A familiar voice came from behind.

Hesta knew who it was without looking back.

She turned around and looked at Sean who was standing five or six steps down.

Looking at each other, Sean really felt some changes in Hesta during this period of time. She is wearing a new dark green fitness suit and a pair of black pants at the base, which is more neutral than the outfit in the corridor that day. .For some reason, the trembling vigilance at first sight disappeared from her body.

Hesta: "Don't you need to go to the training camp today?"

"Not everyone needs to participate in that kind of exhausting and laborious training," Sean folded his hands and put them on the back of his neck, with a faint smile on his face, "They have brute force, and I Brain."

Hesta didn't respond.

Sean was leaning against the wall, with one foot slanted and the other pinned behind his calf.

"Has anyone ever praised you for your beautiful hair?" Sean said suddenly.

"What?" Hesta thought he had heard wrong.

"It's no wonder that some people used to pay a lot of money to buy Hesta's hair, but why don't you have long hair? Girls should have long hair, especially girls with beautiful red hair," Sean stood up straight Some, took a step towards the steps, "Can I touch—"

"No." Hesta said coldly, "If you take a step closer, I'm going to call someone."

Sean stopped.

Perhaps because of the terrain, from Hesta's condescending gaze, Sean seemed to sense a change in offensive and defensive positions—this made Sean feel a little funny.

"Who are you calling? Mrs. Lavitt?" Sean put his hands on his hips and said with a smile, "Your Liz won't be back now."

"Yes, she's not here tonight," Hesta nodded, "so some things can only be said now."

"Huh? I heard it right... Do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes. I hope you won't trouble me again." Hesta said softly, "If there is anything about me that makes you unhappy, we can definitely find other ways to solve it, maybe we can talk... I would like to talk to you."

"That's really great, because my biggest wish right now is to make friends with you," Sean tapped his fingers rhythmically on the wall, "However, I can really trust you ?"

"Why not?"

"If you secretly invite me to a place and attack me when I'm not prepared, what will I do?"

Hesta tilted his head slightly, "...I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Didn't you still search for 'how to fake an alibi' yesterday?"

"I haven't." Hesta denied it calmly.

"At 8:32, how to buy small knives suitable for hiding? How to forge an alibi at 8:45? At 9:12, if someone under the age of 12 intentionally kills someone, what punishment will he face if he is found? You have opened no fewer than fifty webpages..." Sean calmly pulled out the list, "May I ask why Miss Hesta started searching for these things for no reason?"

Hesta's expression was a little subtle.

Sean saw that her hand, which was hanging down by her side just now, was tightly clenched, and her mouth was slightly pursed.

"... Where did you know?" Hesta's voice was softer.

"I saw it." Sean raised his hand, "With my eyes."

"So, you did steal my browsing history."

Sean just smiled.

"how dare you……"

"It's not a big deal to me," Sean said calmly, "just a hobby."

"Okay." Hesta looked away, "What do you want from me, Sean?"

"Me? I don't want to get anything, I just want to know, are Hesta girls as quiet as you?"

Hesta frowned again.

Sean spread his hands, "I used to hear girls compared to flowers, but whether it's Hekla or here, women are either old maids like Sophie Morley, or steel monsters like Liz, Anyway, I can't see any beauty of flowers from them."

"Really," Hesta's tone was a little impatient, "I think that's very good."

"It doesn't matter, Hesta," Sean didn't refute, and he said again, "In short, just be friends with me. You searched the Hekla Wasteland as soon as you got the computer, which shows that you are interested in me. Like I'm interested in you too. You can talk to me about your past, like v-"

"I refuse." Hesta immediately interrupted him, "Friends will not secretly monitor your every move, friends respect each other."

Sean felt a little disappointed, "You said this as if you were possessed by Liz, don't be like this... Do you have to tear yourself apart with me? There is no second way? What I said just now was obviously a compliment to you .”

"Then I don't think we have anything else to talk about." Hesta whispered, "I didn't get any compliment from your words either."
