Girls und War

381. Return after the holiday

That night, Xia Shu and the other two returned to their hometown from the other side of the continent.

The three of them were all members of the front-line troops, so no one went to the headquarters, but instead walked together back to the front-line troops camp.

Seeing that it was getting late, the girls had no plans to talk all night, so they quickly ended their trip and went back to the camp to sleep.

In the following days, no one came to see Xia Shu, and she finally enjoyed the holiday time that belonged to the "injured and sick".

Xiaole has reported back to the imaginary battlefield, but Xiaotang has to go to the self-help cram school every day.

So Xia Shu was the only one left in the camp.

This appearance was kept completely secret, and almost no one knew that Xia Shu was in the outer area except the officers in the surveillance department.

It was rare for her not to be bombarded with messages from fans.

Every day I just run and do some normal training. Then I browse the community and read the news in secret.

I live a comfortable life.

When the holiday was almost over and I contacted the teacher at the cram school, it was time to enter the imaginary battlefield again.

With only ten days of vacation and no war, it feels like time flies.

Although I still feel unsatisfied, when I think about it carefully, these ten days are equivalent to one month in the imaginary battlefield.

This means that after entering the imaginary battlefield, it will feel like another twenty days of vacation.

This calculation makes people feel full of determination.

Holidays are the primary productive force and the first element of social development.

Even if this statement is applied to Xia Shu, there is absolutely no problem at all.

After all, Natsuki is Natsuki, not a robot.

Back to the topic, ten days later, Xia Shu and Xiao Tang's bodies in the imaginary battlefield have almost recovered.

As usual, the front-line medical center sent a communication to the field command center, notifying the patients to return to the field, collect the bodies, and free up the beds.

Then Xia Shu received the order to return to the field from the outfield command center.

Without any hesitation, she quickly took Xiaotang to the infiltration center.

To Natsuki's surprise, Smiley Face did not return with them this time.

According to Smiley, these top-tier special operations personnel are non-staff.

If there is no specific task, the entry and exit times are not fixed.

They can take vacation when they want and fight when they want, and they have complete freedom in their schedule.

This is also to prevent the enemy war zone from figuring out their patterns of action, thereby further enhancing the deterrent power of the aces on the battlefield.

This is the principle of maintaining troops for a thousand days and deploying them for a moment.

As for when you need to enter with a smile, it depends on the battle situation.

The current battlefield situation and the flower area situation are very good. There is no need for Smiley Face to log in to the battlefield for the time being, so she doesn't have to go in.

Unfortunately, Xia Shu now has a real job but no official position, so he cannot enjoy the same treatment.

Otherwise, she can divorce when she wants to, or fight when she wants to.

This also further increased Xia Shu's expectations for the sniper ranking, making her pay more attention to the competition in a few months.

But these things are things for the future. Now, she is still a regular sniper of the Red Dragon Squadron.

Or maybe the deputy command sergeant? Whatever.

All in all, she went to the infiltration center obediently and entered the imaginary battlefield again.

It’s still the familiar diving cabin, and it’s still the familiar sensory decomposition.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the clean white ward filled with the smell of disinfectant.

As Xia Shu was getting ready to get up, a pair of large eyes immediately filled her vision.

Military doctor Xiao C looked at Xia Shu excitedly and asked with great concern, "How do you feel?"

Xia Shu sat up from the bed, stretched his shoulders, and replied, "Very good, very comfortable."

"That's good." Little C immediately started writing and drawing on the medical record.

After Xia Shu jumped off the hospital bed, he checked every part of his body and found no discomfort.

I didn't feel like someone who had been lying in bed for a month.

I don’t know if this is the setting of the imaginary battlefield, or if Xiao C’s care is in place.

No matter which one it is, Xia Shu is now a lively ace sniper again.

Xiaotang also jumped off the hospital bed at this time.

She walked over to Smiley's bedside, and, lost in thought, she suddenly reached out and pinched the light and shadow that represented Smiley's body. Then, a complex expression of "as expected" and "great revenge" appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Little C immediately stopped him angrily, "Hey! Don't play with the patient's body!"

After getting the answer she wanted, Xiaotang immediately stopped and ceased the subsequent actions.

"Really... he didn't use enough force. What if he broke something..." Little C muttered to himself, walked to the bedside, and carefully checked Smiley's physical condition.

After confirming that there were no injuries, he took Xia Shu and the other person to the discharge department to complete the discharge procedures.

Xia Shu and Xiao Tang signed their names in the medical record. Xiao C stood beside Xia Shu, looking at his profile, and suddenly said, "Your handwriting is really beautiful."

Xia Shu turned his head and smiled at her without saying anything.

Nowadays, people rarely write with a pen. Unless they have practiced, most handwriting of minors of this age group is no different from the scrawl of a chicken's claws.

Seeing Xia Shu's humble expression, Xiao C said admiringly, "I've read all your battle records. You're really awesome (cool)."

Xia Shu was stunned when he heard this and asked her, "Aren't combat records confidential?"

"That's for the weak," Xiaotang interjected. "For someone as famous as you, every time you fight, the video goes viral around the world."

Xia Shu touched the back of his head and laughed belatedly.

Ah! Such a silly expression is so adorable! Little C covered her pounding heart with her hand, full of girlish innocence.

Then, she recalled the personal care she had given to Xia Shu's body during those days, and the irresistible perfect feel of her hands.

If you think about it, this is a one-to-one life-size model!

She couldn't help but move her fingers and looked at Xia Shu's body greedily again.

Xia Shu didn't notice these details, just greeted her and then walked towards the locker room.

And Xiaotang looked at Xiao C deeply.

After the two went to the locker room and changed into the new combat uniforms delivered by logistics, they quickly walked to the apron under the guidance of Xiao C.

A helicopter received advance notice and was already preparing for takeoff here.

Amid the fierce sound of propellers breaking through the air, the two climbed onto the helicopter and fastened their seat belts.

Xia Shu and Xiao C waved goodbye to each other, the crew in the helicopter immediately closed the door, and then the helicopter slowly took off.

Under Xiao C's lost gaze, Xia Shu ended his rest and rushed to the front line again.

382. The Legacy from Little Jack

The continuous "thump thump thump" sound of the helicopter breaking through the air sounds very noisy and will give people a headache if you listen to it for a long time.

Plus the body that was constantly shaking with the airflow—

All in all, helicopter rides are not a pleasant experience.

It's okay once or twice, the curiosity about new things will cover up the many shortcomings that make people feel uncomfortable.

But for a seasoned soldier like Xia Shu who is accustomed to traveling in all kinds of military vehicles, helicopters are the last resort.

In Xia Shu's mind, the comfort levels of vehicles are divided into different levels.

Small helicopters like this, or off-road vehicles that shake back and forth, leave a very bad impression on Xia Shu.

It's not just a matter of riding discomfort, but more importantly, as a sniper, when riding on such a shaking vehicle, you will subconsciously consider setting up your gun and aiming.

Over time, she will instinctively resist this type of vehicle with poor stability.

Slightly better than this is large vehicle equipment that can bring stability.

Xia Shu has a good sense of main battle tanks, large transport aircraft, and various types of destroyers.

Xia Shu had also successfully completed missions on those more rugged military iron trains, so he couldn't say he hated them.

In addition, for personal reasons, she can also accept those individual vehicles with strong controllability - such as motorboats, snowmobiles, gliders, etc.

There is also a special category called biological riding vehicles, which Xia Shu also placed in a medium psychological position.

Including horses, camels, elephants, sled dogs and so on.

These special vehicles always bring an inexplicable sense of closeness to people. Perhaps it's the instinctive affinity humans have for living things, something distinct from steel.

But in Xia Shu's heart, the best vehicle equipment is still the super-large precision equipment with extremely strong stability.

For example, high-speed trains, or large sea vessels such as aircraft carriers.

This type of equipment has one thing in common.

That's stability.

It goes without saying that high-speed trains, as civilian equipment, are designed with riding comfort and safety in mind.

Although this type of ultra-precise industrial equipment has a low tolerance for damage resistance and structural fault tolerance, Xia Shu had to admit that the more high-tech the equipment, the more comfortable it was to ride.

As for large sea vessels, it goes without saying that as long as the sea conditions are not particularly bad, riding on them is basically the same as riding on flat land.

In this regard, the same is true for super-giant aerial vehicles.

It's just that Xia Shu hadn't seen any super-giant aircraft come into being back then. On the imaginary battlefield, no one would expend vast resources to build a costly and substandard aircraft.

In addition to the various types of equipment mentioned above, there is also a special type of vehicle called a space vehicle. Unfortunately, Xia Shu didn't have the opportunity to ride one, so it's impossible to make a detailed comfort level classification for them.

However, I think there won’t be much environmental change in the universe, so the final effect will not be much different.

Generally speaking, Xia Shu prefers stable vehicles, the more stable the better.

As for vehicles with poor stability, her psychological expectations will be lowered accordingly, until she can no longer tolerate it and starts cursing.

Including but not limited to human-powered tricycles, ghost fire motorcycles, illegal taxis and agricultural tractors.

So, when Xia Shu jumped out of the helicopter, Xiaotang didn't see any happy expression on her face.

The two of them said hello to the random people on the helicopter, and the girl saluted them. Then she patted the tool driver's shoulder, and the helicopter quickly took off and flew away.

Xia Shu and Xiao Tang watched the helicopter fly away and soon walked out of Kurt's temporary airport.

Facing the sea breeze and passing through the warning area, what comes into view are all the members of the Red Dragon Squadron who have been waiting here early.

"Hey, long time no see." Doragon supported the gun with one hand and greeted Xia Shu.

Xia Shu walked forward with a smile, took his Xunniao sniper rifle from Qingxian's hand, and said to them, "Sorry for the long wait."

The girls also laughed.

Doragon came over and put his arm around Xia Shu and Xiao Tang's shoulders, saying, "Come on, come on! Let's welcome you home!"

Then he ignored their feelings and dragged them straight to the newly opened Kurt Frontline Restaurant.

On the first front line of the Flower District, where high-intensity combat is taking place, the logistics department has finally lifted restrictions on consumables for battlefield supplies.

Soldiers on the front line finally no longer have to eat individual self-heating rations or stir-fried bean sprouts.

The logistics mobile restaurant now equips each company with a small stove and professional star chefs and tools.

All kinds of kitchen raw materials are also continuously transported to the port through the supply routes on the bay.

The soldiers couldn't say what strategic advantages the Flower District would have after gaining control of the harbor, but at least they could now experience firsthand the convenience brought by the supply routes.

I have to say that Lieutenant General Liang Yue is much more generous than the "cuckoo chicken" commander-in-chief on the mountain front.
