"With two pints of activator, the joint replacement is nearly 60% complete. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"No, the autoimmune response continues, and you have to lower your immune values."

"No problem, I've given the artificial spine a disturbing command, and his body's immunity level will be reduced to half of the normal level."

In a daze, the light of the operating table and the conversation of the doctor came to my ears.

“...... Not... With my consent, don't ......"

Amid the hum of the automatic syringe pump, I lost consciousness again.

When I woke up, I was conscious very quickly, and I immediately looked around the hospital bed, and sure enough, there were no first aid facilities, and even life support devices were omitted.

Looking at the ceiling, this was supposed to be a room in the headquarters of the Martian Child. Someone passed by and left outside the door. The steady pace indicates that the headquarters has not been captured. But that's not my focus. Try moving your limbs, head, and eyes. Everything seems to be normal, but in addition to the spine, the legs and left arm also feel like they are wearing gloves.

With a soft sigh, I closed my eyes and calmed down a little. When I opened my eyes again, my left hand had been withdrawn.

The prosthetic limb wrapped in black leatherette can subtly restore every movement of the hand, and can also feedback the sense of touch and pain, but the fake is fake after all, and the loss of my left hand and legs still makes my heart empty.

The sound of footsteps outside the door is a heavy but steady pace characteristic of soldiers. The door opened, and a burly warrior walked up to me.

"Sir! The Tarsis Combat Group is part of the mixed 112th Brigade Reconnaissance Company, Private Thorpe reports to you. The Commander wants to see you. ”

I felt aggrieved in my heart, and I wanted to get angry, and I didn't know what to say to this young man who didn't know anything. Eventually, he shook his head and sat up from the bed.

The body is not hindered, in fact, the limbs are more flexible than before, but these are not real hands and feet after all. There was always the sense of estrangement in controlling the heavy infantry, and he shook his hand angrily, causing a scream in the air.

Thorpe stared at my arm. I could see the curiosity and disbelief in the eyes of the young people.

"It's nothing to look at, it's just a prosthetic, and if you're wounded on the battlefield, you'll have it fitted too."

"Oh! yes, sir, I think that's pretty cool. ”

I'm angry for a while, so cool, feelings are not your legs and feet.

"In fact, every part of the body, except for the brain, can be replaced, and I've heard of people replacing their balls, but I don't know what it's like."

The young man's devastated look gave me a sense of revenge. Then I felt that I was too childish.

"Really, I'm still immature!"

"What? Sir. ”

"No, nothing. Why are you here to pick me up, where did this guy Davis go? ”

"Uh... I'm sorry, but the sergeant is dead. ”

My head buzzed, and my eyes moistened. In order not to be seen by the young people, they had to turn their heads and pretend to check if there were any personal belongings left on the bed.

Of course there will be no personal belongings.

After regaining my composure, I turned my head and said, "... It's a pity, he's a good guy, just one year away from graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, and he's a good soldier. ”

Thorpe gave a look of wonder what to do, and finally nodded.

"The commander wants to see me, so I'll go now."

Think of Davis, who rescued me from the rubble when we finally met.

I didn't have time to say goodbye, but I said goodbye forever.

Although veterans always remind them not to make friends among their comrades-in-arms, sometimes there are always people with good relationships, especially when everyone is born and dies together to carry out tasks. Suddenly there was no one. Reason tells me that I should face it calmly, but psychologically and emotionally it does not allow me to accept the truth like this.

As I reminisced about the battle with Davis, I left the room in a daze.

"Uh...... Sir. ”

"What's the matter!"

My expression startled him, and Thorpe unconsciously took a step back.

Young people will think I'm a bad person.

It doesn't matter, it's better to know fewer people on the battlefield.

Signaling him with his eyes that he has a fart to release quickly, I just want to find a place to be quiet now.

"In fact, the reconnaissance company needs your instructions, and we are on standby."

"Huh? About the reconnaissance company, just ask Company Commander Ruan? Could it be that where did he go on a special mission? ”

“...... Nope..."

I'm starting to hate this guy, grinding and chirping, "Say something quickly, let it go if you have a fart!" ”

I almost got my heart out.

Hold back your anger and try to put on an expressionless face.

The young man took a step back again. I must have scared him, but that's fine, the battlefield is a place that needs to be experienced, and he looks a little like me before, too weak.

"In fact, Chief Nguyen he... At the time of the fall of the gunboat ... Also sacrificed. ”

"Hoo ......"

“......”

"Sir, are you alright?"

I wanted to say I was fine, but I couldn't contain my excitement. Quickly turned away. With Thorpe on his back, he motioned for him to leave with his hand.

"But what about Lianli?"

“... Bastard! I'll talk about it when I get back, but now get out of the way! ”

I don't know if the young man heard something strange, but when the door closed, my tears could no longer be stopped, and I burst out of my eyes.

Among the comrades-in-arms during the Heroic Company period, only Carlin remained. Hopefully she will survive to the end of the war.

......

Galen's figure was still tall and his expression was serious. It can be seen that the long-term command brings a trace of tiredness at the corners of his eyebrows.

"Captain, now I have a mission for you!"

In the temporary headquarters converted from Davide's office, all kinds of instruments are messily placed around, and the most important electronic sand table shows a three-dimensional diagram of the battlefield.

The red arrows representing the enemy are everywhere, and the blue arrows in the outermost form of the encirclement table are unable to advance for a long time, and the local area surrounded by red arrows in the corner of the battlefield is the base of the Children of Mars.

A small speck of blue, surrounded by a large amount of red, looks lonely and pitiful.

"Captain, did you hear me?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm looking at the sand table, and the situation doesn't seem to be good."

Galen took two steps back and forth in front of the sand table, turning to stare at the three-dimensional arrows and the terrain.

"Whew...... The situation has never been worse again, because we have been in the worst-case situation, and no matter how hard the two army groups try, they cannot move any further. ”

"But we can do it from the inside out! As long as the agreed time is achieved, it may ......"

“...... Perhaps, you can successfully counterattack, right? ”

Galen's smile was uncomfortable.

"yes, I think it should be able to break the situation."

"I'm sorry to tell you, we've tried, but this path doesn't work."

“......”

I was speechless for a moment, not because the result was unacceptable. In fact, under the siege of the devil's army, it is normal to be unable to implement the plan of internal and external cooperation.

What I didn't expect was that the colonel would tell me this result explicitly. Is that good? For a small soldier like me, shouldn't the truth be concealed, so as to be conducive to the survival of morale?

"I'm telling you this to give you an intuitive idea of the importance of this mission."

The colonel put away his smile, and the scene became extremely serious, thinking of the meaning of his words just now, I unconsciously stood up straight.

"I've given you the task to ......"

As the colonel spoke, I couldn't contain my expression of disbelief.
