Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Remnants of the Wolf
The platoon commander and Lei Zhen on the battlefield, of course, didn't know what was going on in the outside world. They sat on the ground gasping for breath, all they knew was that although their chests were tight, and there were bursts of burning pain in their noses and mouths, they had finally survived the gas attack.
Lei Zhen and the platoon commander sat side by side behind a pile of ruins, and their eyes fell on the corpse that had been stabbed by Lei Zhen even though they had sacrificed their lives for the country. I don't know how long it took, the platoon commander suddenly asked: "Boy, you wanted to help me just now, but I punched you in the face, you still want to continue to help me, why?" ”
Lei Zhen said indifferently: "Because you didn't think about it just now, you gave me a piece of cotton cloth first." ”
The platoon commander's eyes widened, he really didn't expect that Lei Zhen would pull out his bayonet without hesitation and stab it at his arm, the reason is so simple!
The platoon commander turned his head to look at Lei Zhen's face that barely had any mood fluctuations, and after a long while, he said softly: "I know now that you are both a hero and a bastard!" You know, I was really mad at you at the time, I really didn't have a gun in my hand, otherwise I would have killed you with one shot without saying a word! ”
"What does it have to do with me if others think I'm a bastard or a hero?"
Lei Zhen put his hands behind his head and relaxed his body in the most comfortable position. He opened a pack of biscuits thrown from the Sixing warehouse, if he didn't guess wrong, this pack of biscuits was still the result of him and Yang Huimin going out together to raise donations.
Because the poisonous gas had just been blown away, it was impossible for him to launch an attack for the time being, so Lei Zhen ate very calmly. He put the biscuit in his mouth, but did not chew it, until the saliva in his mouth soaked the biscuit softly, and then he slowly swallowed the food that had turned into a ball of batter in his mouth into his stomach. Lei Zhen was even in the mood to carefully scrape off the sugar particles on the biscuits.
Lei Zhen threw all the small pieces of rock candy that he had collected together into a steel helmet, and then reversed his bayonet, which no longer knew how much blood had been stained and how many lives had been harvested, and kept grinding it in the steel helmet with the handle until all the small rock sugar grains turned into powder in the steel helmet.
Watching Lei Zhen untie the tie on his arm that served as a hemostatic bandage, grab the rock candy that had been ground into powder, carefully apply them to the wound little by little, and then tie the wound tightly with the tie again, the platoon commander was really stunned.
"This kind of thing can make my wounds heal faster."
After retreating his wounds, Lei Zhen sat side by side with the platoon commander like that, they listened to each other's heavy breathing, sniffed each other's body, the smell of blood, sweat, and gunpowder smoke that was so thick that it could barely be dissolved, and quietly felt the sense of security that the other party brought to them. I don't know how long it took, Lei Zhen, who never liked to talk much, suddenly spoke, "Have you ever seen a lone wolf who left the wolves and wandered alone in the mountains and grasslands?!" ”
The platoon commander shook his head, he grew up in the countryside, he had seen wolves, and he hated wolves, animals that would always bite and kill poultry, but the wolves he saw were always in groups of three or five.
At this time, Lei Zhen's eyes as sharp as a falcon suddenly became a little blurred.
Lei Zhen looked at his son, who was now looking down, intently nibbling on a packet of cookies. Lei Zhen said softly: "Those lone wolves are far away from the wolves, and in order to be able to find food to live, it must keep wandering, using its claws, walking through one mountain after another, and facing one enemy after another. ”
"In order to survive, to eat a piece of meat that has already stinked, they have to fight with bears that can break a tree with a single claw, and with cheetahs that are more agile and powerful than them. Even if it is injured, it is impossible to get any help, so it can only hide in a dark corner alone, slowly licking its wounds with its tongue, hoping to get back up and find food that can support it to continue to live before it starves to death! ”
"If it really can't find anything, it's going to starve to death on the road...... "Speaking of this, Lei Zhen's voice suddenly became hoarse, "It will gnaw its own claws directly!" It will desperately tear its own flesh with its own teeth, even if its claws are broken and gone, it will no longer be able to run as fast as it used to, to chase down its prey, to challenge enemies stronger than it, and sooner or later it will starve to death, or fall to the ground due to excessive blood loss, and become food for another lone wolf, but at least ...... It's desperately trying to keep itself alive! ”
Facing Lei Zhen's dark eyes, feeling the coldness that emanated from Lei Zhen's body when he said these words, thinking about everything Lei Zhen did on the battlefield, a few big beads of sweat slowly trickled down from the platoon commander's forehead. The platoon commander stretched out his hand to wipe away the sweat that was slowly dripping on his forehead, and it was only at this time that the platoon commander noticed that he didn't know when it started, and his hands were trembling slightly.
Even if he knew that Lei Zhen had recognized himself now and would never attack him, listening to his faint words, I don't know why, this platoon commander's heart still couldn't help but feel an absolute chill one after another.
Because at this time, sitting in front of him and looking at him quietly, isn't it a head that used to walk lonely in nature, fight alone, get injured again and again, hide in dark corners again and again, wait alone for the wound to heal, so that it can return to the deep mountains and continue to fight in order to survive...... Lone wolf?!
It is because he is a lone wolf that he has the perseverance and cruelty of a wolf, and once he makes a move, he must be the most violent attack on his life; It is because he is a lone wolf that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and even the corpses of his kind will become his props and weapons; It is because he is a lone wolf, so although he is simple and straightforward, and knows more about Entubao, but his reading ability has become an invisible barrier, so that until now, there is no one who can fight side by side and can hand over his back to the other party's combat partner!
"But...... You are a man, not a wolf, after all! Wolves only live to live, but we humans should have our own goals! ”
"Yes, I have my own goals!"
Lei Zhen looked at the corpses of the soldiers on the battlefield in the distance, and he said in a deep voice: "My goal is to keep killing until I kill all the ghost soldiers, or until I die under their guns!" ”
The platoon commander really didn't want to ask what had happened to Lei Zhen, and a faint sympathy suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared again. Because he knows that sympathy for such a thing is the most useless and even ridiculous thing for a lone wolf who has sharpened his teeth in nature, strengthened his will, and is bound to face one war after another before the end of his life.
"My name is Li Zheng, probably my father, when he gave birth to me, he wanted me to be an upright man. You can call me by my name directly, or you can call me Brother Li like my brothers. ”
The platoon commander stretched out his hand to Lei Zhen and smiled: "We have fought side by side for so long, and we have been rescued twice by you, I still don't know your name." ”
"Thunder Quake!"
Lei Zhen stared at Li Zheng's hand stretched out in front of him, he didn't like this kind of physical contact, but he found that he liked the man named Li Zheng in front of him a little. Is it because in Li Zheng's body, there is a kind of frankness that he once had, but now he has lost? Or is it because he keenly captures a kind of understanding and recognition in this man's eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth?!
Lei Zhen really didn't know, but he slowly, tried, and stretched out his right hand. When two equally powerful hands clasped tightly in the air, a faint warm current slowly rose in the bottom of Lei Zhen's heart.
