Chapter 170: The Guilt of Burying the Truth
In the half month that Ge Xiaolun left Huaxia with Zhao Xin and Wei Ying to carry out the South American campaign, Huaxia itself was not as stable as imagined.
Because of the physical problems in wartime, and the redivision of the interests of various military regions after the reorganization of the Supreme Command, there are few signs of military independence in economically developed regions.
The environment that caused this phenomenon was basically because Huaxia 'won' too easily, so that except for the South China Sea Fleet directly under Dukao, which was dealing head-on with the gluttonous Juxia, Yunshan, and Tianhe military regions, the other Chinese armies did not really enter the battlefield to fight.
They can understand the way, and it is only the loss of the head of the male soldier. So, in their opinion, aliens are nothing more than idiot creatures with some science fiction weapons, just like in science fiction movies.
And the real reason ......
"Rose, have you heard? Recently, there has been an increase in the number of super-powered offenders in the hinterland."
Qi Lin wiped her long hair that had just been washed with a towel, although the weather was fine and the temperature was not low, but for her who was used to maintaining her long hair, it was already instinctive to dry her hair after taking a shower.
Compared to Qi Lin, who dried with a towel, Rose used a hair dryer to blow her long fiery red hair. The pure natural fiery red color with snow-white skin makes Qi Lin can't help but pay more attention every time she sees it, even if she is also a girl.
"Well, I heard that in Shuchuan Province, there are bits and pieces of ordinary people who suddenly have the ability to set fires, but Lao Du has asked people to use the Shenhe Dark Plane Star Network to investigate, and those people are not the genes in the list. So, for the time being, I sent eLong and Applejack to investigate."
Rose put down her hair dryer and shook her blow-dried hair. She squinted, stared at the dull ends of her hair, and frowned
"It should be done soon."
"It's better to be like this...... However, I always felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen."
"What are you worried about? It's just a group of ordinary people who have suddenly gained 'superpowers', and will it be even more difficult to deal with than gluttons and demons?"
Seeing that Qi Lin was still struggling with this question, Rose spread her hands and continued to enlighten
"Even if there were any problems, it wouldn't take us a few minutes to get there on Dawn Three."
"Well, you're right." Qi Lin chimed in.
Actually, as Rose said, the reason for Qi Lin's concern is not how destructive the 'superpowers' can be. But in this strange period of calm and calm, such a thing suddenly appeared, and after losing Cheng Yaowen, Sun Wukong and Rena, does the Xiongbing Company still have the strength to win a hundred battles as before.
After changing into their respective uniforms, the two parted ways from the field camp. Qi Lin is going back to Juxia City, while Rose is going to the Tianhe Military Region where Dukao is located.
After saying goodbye to Qi Lin, Rose's normal expression suddenly became sluggish. The positive look just now was just a pretending appearance in front of friends.
After learning the truth about the Battle of the South China Sea, Rose never had a good night's sleep. The guilt of burying the truth irritates her heart all the time.
Compared with Ge Xiaolun's psychological endurance, her Du Qiang's psychological pressure bearing ability can be described as fragile, like an egg shell made of pure calcium. The reason is that Ge Xiaolun grew up in a normal family since he was a child, the care of his parents, the company of friends, and the atmosphere of Chinese society, all of which gave him the decisiveness that a normal Chinese person should have.
And Rose, who was not nurtured by her parents since she was a child, fooled around until she was a teenager, and was stuffed into the army by Dukao. Yes, she is a natural warrior by her genes, but it was Dukao's ignorance that made Rose's mental structure grow into such a fragile state.
The one who drove her to pick her up was Wei Laoqi, who happened to report to the Tianhe Military Region. He is in charge of the troop establishment of the new Tianhe Military Region, and today he happened to be running in the field camp with his team. And this state of Rose, even if he is an ordinary person, can easily detect it.
"Rose, it doesn't matter to you, right?" Wei Laoqi said while driving
"What?" Rose was still thinking about what Qi Lin had mentioned just now, and she didn't pay attention to Dao Wei Laoqi's words for a while.
"It doesn't matter, right? I see you're very tired, and you haven't rested, okay?"
"Hmm. Why do you ask?" Rose lowered her right hand with her head on her laurels and looked up at the setting sun
"Why...... Ah, there's no reason for it, it just seems that way."
"Don't worry, I'm a super soldier, and I won't have a problem going without sleep for a few days."
Rose smiled, but Wei Laoqi didn't smile.
"That's good, when we get to Tianhe in a while, let's go to the outside of the military region to eat something first, and then go back."
"Huh? No need, I made an appointment with Mengmeng to have dinner together."
"Okay then."
After arriving at the military region, Rose smiled and thanked Wei Laoqi, although it was a pass, but if you take a ride, it would be more polite to thank you.
Then, she walked back to the dormitory alone. made an appointment with Rui Mengmeng or something, she was all a lie.
The new Tianhe Military Region is equipped with dormitories for the Xiongbing Company, which is very luxurious. It is almost the same as the structure of the new apartment outside, with a three-bedroom house with a kitchen and balcony.
It's been a week since Rose had received the house, but the layout and furnishings of the house are no different from when she first got them. Except for the extra set of futon on the bed in the master bedroom, it was almost as good as new.
On the coffee table in the living room is a sandwich with three layers of chicken and ham and a can of Coca-Cola. That's when she goes to buy breakfast in the morning, and she buys more portions by the way.
「……」
She took a bite of the sandwich and reluctantly let it swallow. But the second bite didn't work. Only Coke can be drunk in full cans. Rose then tied the sandwich in a black garbage bag, opened a tiny wormhole to her side, and threw it over. The exit of this micro-wormhole is set above the trash can downstairs.
Immediately afterward, she lay down on the bed. Because I had already showered after training in the field camp, I didn't want to take a shower anymore. She turned off the light, took off all her clothes, wrapped herself in a blanket, and lay on her bed.
Ten minutes passed, thirty minutes passed—
After an hour, she finally gave up.
She had to prop up her upper body, slowly pulled the blanket over, leaned her back against the wall, and sat silently in the dark.
His eyes kept wide open, and what was circling in his mind was the picture of Cheng Yaowen's adoptive father and adoptive mother lying in a pool of blood. She remained silent, staring at a spot on the opposite wall.
