Face Slapping the General

Wu Qiao saw the doctor arriving in a trance. The doctor checked the vital signs of Xia Sheng Chongguang, and then shook his head to indicate that he could do nothing.

He is indeed dead-completely.

Acquash knew that he could not deceive Wu Qiao with a dead person, so he stood up with a grimace and turned off the communication.

"You were classmates, bury him well." Wu Qiao said at last, "This way I can make your death more comfortable."

"Huh." Akash was noncommittal, and the image disappeared.

Wu Qiao was so confused, he didn't even know how he got back to the ground.

He extinguished the C-class mecha and sat there for a long time before finally walking out of the mecha.

The unreality at the beginning gradually disappeared. Just now, he always felt that Sheng Zhongguang was still alive, but now, reason is slowly returning to his brain.

There are so many things that should be thought of, but Wu Qiao has only one thought in his mind at this moment—they have lost him forever.

The fragrance of birds and flowers in this world are no longer part of Sheng Chongguang, and he can't even do the simplest "live in peace". He should have had a long life, experienced many things, and saw many landscapes, but he suddenly ended at such a young age.

However, it was obviously fine yesterday.

Wu Qiao felt this small and helpless for the first time. Although it was summer, Wu Qiao felt very cold and clasped his arms unconsciously.

At the same time, resentment and anger burned in his chest, like a fireball, which could burst at any time. He complained about being inhumane, and his friend was upright and kind throughout his life, but he had to end it like this; he hated that organization, inhumane annihilating humanity, killing many people; he also hated himself, unable to stop the tragedy, can only open his eyes to watch.

Perhaps, after all people encounter a sudden grief, there will be a question repeatedly in their minds: why? Why does this happen? They will think of many, many reasons, but in the end, they are more and more confused and at a loss. I can't figure it out, but in the end it can only be attributed to "fate".

From the moment Wu Qiao wanted to become a soldier, he knew that he might lose a lot of close friends at any time. However, even though he had prepared for so many years, the cruelty when this incident really happened did not lose a point. In the past, an officer said, don’t be too sad because of the death of your comrades-in-arms, just return to the state before you met, but that’s impossible. There have been many stories between the two, and all of them exist alive. . There is a tree in my heart that has rooted, and if you want to pull it out, it must be dripping with blood. It is said that brothers are like hands and feet, and that loss is as painful as a broken limb.

Wu Qiao didn't even know how he walked into Darrell's office.

"Wu Qiao." Darrell was stunned when he saw Wu Qiao, then a smile appeared on the corners of his eyebrows and lips, "You are back."

"..."

"Have you finally figured it out? I'm glad your mind is no longer hot."

"No." Wu Qiao didn't know how to summarize, "Rebirth... he... committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Darrell had some doubts on his face. "Suicide?"

"How is it possible to commit suicide in fear of crime?!" Wu Qiao seemed to vent his emotions, "what reason does he have to commit suicide in fear of crime?!"

In fact, Darrell felt wrong after saying that. He also realized that Sheng Zhongguang could not commit suicide in fear of sin—he did not fall into the hands of the Imperial Army.

Darrell is not stupid, he just has a deep-rooted prejudice against Sheng Zhongguang, instinctively denies him, and uses the most negative thoughts to speculate on the other's intentions.

"He..." Although he was helpless, Wu Qiao still needed to explain, "I asked to see and ensure that others are intact, and then Akash suddenly said about the transaction... I think Akash looks down on him, thinking Just look at his ugliness, but things completely surpassed Akash’s expectations. Sheng Zhongguang...In order not to drag me down, I chose to end his young life."

"..." Darrell was silent.

"...Major General," Wu Qiao actually resented Darrell, "Major General, at the moment when you learned that Sheng Chongguang was dead, did you finally believe that he did not rebel?"

"...Wu Qiao," Darrell said, "I apologize to you two."

"Major General." Wu Qiao didn't want to entangle this anymore, he said, "In my opinion...Chongguang, he deserves a medal of courage."

The Medal of Courage is used by the Imperial Army to commend courageous soldiers, and those who get it regard it as a great honor.

In the past, Sheng Zhongguang couldn't even think of it, and could only secretly envy the person who got it. He once said to Wu Qiao: "Wu Qiao, I think you can get it in the future... will you show me when you get it?"

Now Sheng Chongguang can afford it by himself. He used his death to wash away the shame and became the person he wanted to be at the moment of death, but his price was too great.

Darrell said: "I have to investigate first, if this is the case...I will try to apply for him."

"…Thank you."

Wu Qiao has a very strange feeling.

He was obviously so sad, as if he was about to collapse, but he still had to calmly think about realistic things, such as getting a medal for Sheng Chongguang, and how should he tell the other family members the bad news.

…

After "suddenly felt that my friend might not be dead", "imagine the plot of his escape from the dead", "bargaining with God to pray for people to be alive", and finally accepted the facts a few days later, Wu Qiao applied to resume normal training.

People are actually much stronger than they think. Many barriers that were previously thought to be absolutely insurmountable can only be passed by when they are actually moved in front of them. No matter what happens, life must continue.

However, the past is pervasive. No matter what Wu Qiao sees, he will think of his friends—in the training ground, he will think of training together in the past, in the cafeteria, he will think of eating together in the past, and in the dormitory he will think of chatting together...

Because he felt that this state was not good enough, Wu Qiao decided to think hard, thinking about everything he could think of, and there was not so much to think about.

But this is also useless-emotions have no end anyway.

The most serious of these is regret. Wu Qiao always feels that if I did this...if I did that...will the result change? Although, he also knew that these thoughts were meaningless.

Every day he dreams that the other party is not dead, and he returns to this base.

After waking up from the dream, there was only sadness.

A few times later, he would ask Sheng Zhongguang in his dream: "Is this a dream again?"

Sheng Zhongguang would tell him: "It's not a dream this time, I'm really back."

He was so happy in his dream.

In the morning, he was almost suffocated again, as if someone knocked over a glass bottle in his heart, and the pieces were all stuck into the flesh one by one, and he didn't know how to pull them out.

Wu Qiao also checked many articles written by others after they lost their relatives and friends, hoping to get some advice, but the life and death between the lines made him even more depressed.

Some comrades comforted him and said: "Everything will be fine."

He wanted to say that he didn't know how to get better, and it seemed that everything would not get better.

He didn't dare to put it down, because he was afraid that he would not be able to pick it up again.

There are a lot of trivial things in Wu Qiao's diary. For example, what happened to A today and what happened to B today.

He thought that he should watch it carefully before he died, and tell Sheng Zhongguang everything after his death.

…

On the twelfth day after Sheng Zhongguang's death, Wu Qiao heard that the war on Tan Yan's side was finally over.

It was won, but it was a tragic victory.

The imperial army suffered heavy losses, and they kept their territory without giving in.

Over the years, the republic has become stronger and stronger, and the empire now no longer has the arrogance of being confident in the early stages of the war and not putting the other side in the eyes. The Empire has already closed its resource companies in the Republic and no longer transports any green sand, ending the days of "missiles and rescue flying together." The life of the people in the Republic is extremely inconvenient. However, when the Republic has strictly restricted the use of civilian resources, many people have spontaneously saved, saying that all the savings will be reserved for the army to defeat the empire.

Wu Qiao quickly received a message from Tan Yan.

"How is your place?" he asked.

"..." Wu Qiao did not reply.

After a while, another one came over: "I haven't contacted for so long, have you thought of me?"

"..."

During this time, Wu Qiao often thought of Tan Yan.

He wanted to know whether that powerful man had ever encountered such a thing, and whether he had ever had a crying night. At the same time, I want to know how Tan Yan came out and how to keep himself from being defeated by it.

In the past, every time he encountered a difficult situation, Tan Yan could calm him down.

The words spoken by the other party always have a magical effect that can soothe everything.

Wu Qiao typed a few words: "Chongguang is gone. I really want to see you."
