In the muddy trenches of Dukar, Su Yue and Gregory were forced to drink yellow muddy water.

Gregory said, "Sir, the position is ahead."

"...How to go back?"

The battle of gunfire and rain of bullets was breaking out, troubles and dangers kept coming, and what made the three people even more terrified was that the army of Dukar in Yunzhong City was constantly being rushed by the enemy.

"...I don't know, we seem to be in trouble now."

The moon has been dyed from black to blood red. This is not that the moon has turned red, but that Su Yue's pupils are congested.

Gregory's condition has also become very bad, and Abraham has a high fever because of the suppuration of the wound in his abdomen.

The three dragged their tired bodies-no one knew how they got back here.

Everyone thought they were dead.

And they didn't take it seriously. Isn't it normal and reasonable for one person to die on the battlefield?

Helmets, guns, boneless people, bloody bodies that were blown to the side, like many plants planted in the ground, caused a huge blow to the human spirit.

A sergeant looked at them: "Your unit number has been destroyed."

"..."

Su Yue was silent.

"Next, you will be assigned to new units and brigades." Su Yue looked at the officer in front of him and found that his arm was also hung with a piece of gauze, his face was pale, and he was obviously seriously injured.

"Where are the reserve troops? Where are our backup troops?"

It stands to reason that so many people died on the front line, and even a large-scale rout occurred. With so many bodies left behind, the reserve troops should have gone forward to replenish the personnel... But Su Yue didn't figure out what happened here, and the reserve troops disappeared.

The number was revoked.

Ordinary soldiers became sergeants, sergeants became captains, and captains became commanders of operations. General Lillard was nowhere to be found. In the craters and muddy waters created by the explosions, there were fewer living people and corpses everywhere.

"How many people are left in our company?"

"Sir, there are only six of you left."

Silence, deathly silence.

In the evening, as the sun was setting, Su Yue finally saw a lot of troops from the field motorcycle mechanized brigade, transporting a large amount of supplies from the rear.

Outside the kitchen, Abraham asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Su Yue said, "Abraham, I should be the one to ask you, why are you here?"

"..."

Endless silence.

His injuries, Su Yue's mental state, Gregory's depression and fatigue made them so tired that they wanted to fall asleep, but after waking up, they were greeted by soreness and pain in their bodies. It seemed that sleep could not restore their spirits enough, but made them even more tired and uneasy.

The reserve troops finally arrived, and conflicts and contradictions broke out again on the front line. It was easy to eat. Open the cans and heat them in the microwave in the camp to get a steaming hot meal.

The postman came and went. Su Yue looked at the letters sent to him by his children and wife, and tears flowed in his eyes.

Abraham was concerned about academic texts.

Gregory was also concerned about how his family was doing.

Su Yue vaguely felt that Gregory's face was a little dark, and he didn't know how he was.

If the war would continue for another two to three years according to the story Gregory inferred, Su Yue was not sure whether he could still hold on here.

In fact, he felt that he was about to collapse mentally and physically.

"I can't get used to it, my body can't stand it..."

Su Yue never thought that a person, as an ordinary person, would become so painful and dark after staying on the battlefield for a long time.

Yes, he felt a desperate darkness.

Endless darkness enveloped him, just like the ravens that covered the sun and the moon from the mountains, his soul was covered by a piece of black, charred coal.

Depression,

Fear,

Despair,

But gave rise to a completely opposite emotion, a desire to go home. He wanted to go home, to Dukarne in Yunzhong City behind the front line. Homesickness and longing are often one of the key factors that lead to soldiers mutiny.

Su Yue didn't understand why veterans on the battlefield would mutiny.

Now he understands.

It's not that he understands verbally, but he really understands, and

And understood it thoroughly...

"Dad... Dad, when will you come back?"

The child's voice rang in his ears.

Su Yue wanted to forget that voice, but a beautiful and graceful woman leaned against the side of the corridor, seemingly waiting to take him with her.

In January, the cannon danced on the glass-like transparent heart.

In February, Su Yue and Dukar fought madly for positions.

He went from an ordinary engineer to a sniper on the front line.

In March, light yellow flowers bloomed in the environment of corpse composting, the plague began to break out, and a large number of people died from the virus and the spreading war. Su Yue's emotions were numb, like a dried-up river, without any intention to express his inner actions and behaviors.

In mid-March, Su Yue took the package, leaned on the side of the bed and began to sleep. No one knew how long it would take for them to evacuate.

The military department's chief would count the military merits and convert them into rewards. Su Yue had obstacles in killing people, but he didn't know how many he had killed - he would rather not know.

Smoking, drinking, strong rum poured into the throat from the steel jug, discipline has been completely lost. An old soldier does not care whether the strong liquor is used for disinfection or for enjoyment, and the gendarmes who often understand their living conditions often turn a blind eye to this, or even help the evil, and take the initiative to stay and drink two cups.

Abraham is still busy in the field hospital, Gregory keeps sending letters to his family, Su Yue's dysentery is cured and recurring, and the beautiful Duval prostitute welcomes Li Ye to join every time.

The number of steel helmets and enemy troops' medals is increasing.

Su Yue was promoted from an ordinary third-level soldier to a corporal, and then from a fresh ordinary person to a veteran. He can hear the sound in his ears and judge the distance and depth of the artillery.

When the enemy attacks the trenches, find the location of their weak points.

He can even keep his shirt clean in places where mud splashes, so as to judge the intensity of the battle in a battle.

Numbness...

The battlefield will bring fear to others at first, but as time passes, when three or five months pass, when an ordinary person is promoted to a veteran, everything about the war begins to become numb.

Killing becomes indifferent.

The action of loading the gun becomes mechanical, and it seems that no one needs to teach or think. Life hiding in trenches and fortifications seems to have become better. The trenches that once needed to be dug by oneself can now be replaced by a large number of conscripts who serve as line fillers.

Su Yue always has a feeling of looking at his past self, and it also feels like his future self is commanding his past self. Those recruits have trench foot and their feet are ulcerated in the mud.

Some can't stand the environment polluted by poison gas and miasma here, and they cough all night long, and even cough up blood.

The scene of the explosion of poison gas bombs.

As a result, they were forced to use cloth and wicker to wrap around their necks as a simple evasion device due to the lack of gas masks. All the residents around them retreated, and those who stayed behind became reserve soldiers. They vowed to defend their hometowns, but often ended up miserably.

When Su Yue was bored, he would even study how many stars there were in the night sky.

The quality of sleep was getting better and better.

The money he mailed to his family became more and more, because Su Yue's excellent officer consciousness often allowed him to seize a lot of spoils. When he brought his new recruits again and followed Gregory, Henry and others to attack the enemy Duval's base, more than 150 prisoners went along the communication trench to the prisoner-of-war camp in the rear, where they were blackmailed by Gregory and Su Yue.

Fighting for a piece of black bread.

Gregory picked up a louse on his arm and crushed it in his hand.

"You have 14 days of leave, you can go back."

"Here is your leave certificate. Once you meet a senior officer, don't offend him, otherwise he has the right to end your leave early."

"Yes."

The recorder's words made Su Yue ecstatic. Henry on the side was also very happy and said with a smile: "Finally, I can leave this damn place."

Abraham drank the heated canned vegetable soup without saying a word.

Gregory next to him was even more taciturn. Su Yue asked: "Are you two unhappy?"

Gregory looked at the burning bonfire and said: "What can I do when I go back?"

Abraham said: "I need to go to the Imperial Hospital to see if the human specimens I mailed are still there.

"Henry, what about you?"

Henry

Said: "My family is too big. I'm afraid I'll be coerced and exploited again if I go back. My aunt claimed in a letter last time that she wanted to sleep with me. That fickle woman is just trying to complete a promotion ceremony in our family. Other than that, I can't find any reason for her to stay. Ambition, greed, and the desire for promotion are the games played by these damn politicians and dignitaries; they sent thousands of soldiers to the front line to die, without caring about our lives."

"Perhaps in their eyes, the enemy's Territory is far more important than the lives of ordinary people in our country... Even if Dukar is against war. "

"Is Europa still there?"

"...Not anymore."

"It's been too long."

Su Yue asked, "Have you lived for more than 700 years?"

Gregory said, "No, I don't know how long I have lived. The muddled and confused life has swallowed us up."

"..."

"The train has arrived, gentlemen."

"Let's go."

Su Yue looked at Abraham, who was silent, wondering what he was thinking.
