Chapter XVIII: Back to the Aviation Regiment
The mottled shadows of the trees, constantly passing by the window; The cold breeze of early spring blows through the cracks in the car windows.
After a short day in the real world, returning from his sleep again, Long Yun found him holding a duffel bag and sitting in the back seat of a car. The feeling of bumps and the familiar narrow windows, Long Yun speculated that this should be the common UAZ-469 jeep.
Without looking sideways, Long Yun could sense that there was a woman sitting next to him. He pretended to look at the side of her face casually, as if it was some doctor he had met before; Although she was not wearing a white coat at this time, the faint phenol smell could not be wrong.
Where is he going?
In Long Yun's mind, he couldn't help but think of scenes that only appear in horror movies.
Perhaps, at the end of the path will be the deserted wilderness; Or a psychiatric hospital with a high-walled power grid, or a mysterious military base...... In short, there won't be any good places.
But fortunately, just when he began to feel sore and numb, Long Yun saw sparse buildings, farmland and interlaced bushes outside the car window. Shortly after leaving the town, the jeep turned into a concrete road and came to the gate with a sentry post. The sentries standing guard stepped forward to salute, and when they saw the badges on their arms, Long Yun reacted a little.
It appears that the investigation against him has been completed and he has been sent back to the unit in which he originally served.
"Hey, Victor! You look good, and the food in the hospital looks good! β
"He also brought the accompanying doctor, quite a beautiful girl." Cutting off the words of his colleagues, a sturdy man with a bit of a beard was afraid of hitting Long Yun's back. "I don't think this is the treatment that a captain should have, what kind of luck have you paid for this?"
In the face of these soldiers who greeted him warmly, it seemed that many of them were pilots, but he really didn't know any of them. Long Yun was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say, so he only smirked. Or Alena, the military doctor who accompanied him back to the army, relieved him of the siege:
"Guys, your Captain Rezenov, his amnesia is not yet well. Stop joking, okay? β
The barracks has always been a man's world, and suddenly such a young lady came out, and everyone actually felt a little excited and curious; Everyone seemed to be quite obedient to what Alena said, so the cafeteria temporarily restored its normal atmosphere.
These rough-looking warriors are actually quite thoughtful, although everyone is feeling sorry for Komarov, who died unexpectedly, but no one mentions this matter in front of Long Yun.
Speaking of which, Long Yun really likes this kind of environment.
Just now, passing between the airport runway and the hangar, he saw a row of fighters neatly parked on the runway, the shiny skin reflected a bright luster in the sun, and the unique faint smell of engine oil and kerosene on the airport made Long Yun feel quite familiar.
Perhaps these are just remnants of the memories of Rezenov, the captain he now possesses. But Long Yun clearly knew that his feelings about this qiΔ were definitely from the heart.
After eating lunch with a heavy heart, Long Yun has been paying attention to the conversation of the people around him, although he is still a little unfamiliar with Russian names, but he basically still remembers the faces of several people, and can correspond to the names. He can't keep losing his memory like this, can he? Therefore, it is necessary to try to figure out what the situation of this identity he possesses.
In the afternoon of the same day, in the command center of the base, Long Yun met the commander of the 309th regiment, Colonel Andropov, who had a stern face. This colonel of medium stature did not have a trace of wrinkles in his military uniform, and he did not have any special expression after seeing Long Yun. He briefly inquired about Long Yun's situation these days, and then instructed Long Yun's captain to take care of him more.
"Ah, remember that Victor still has a follow-up doctor, and he also has to arrange a place for the doctor to live."
Although he didn't smile, the colonel still patted Long Yun's arm, which made Long Yun feel that the regiment commander in front of him was still very concerned about him. Perhaps, Rezhnov was a popular pilot in the 309th regiment?
Walking out of the headquarters, Long Yun followed the captain Gamov to the barracks. On the way, he didn't know where to go several times, but Gamov shook his head again and again, as if he felt sorry for the way Rezenov was now.
"Victor, what's wrong with your head? Despite the opinion in the hospital, flying is okay - uh, Dr. Alena, is that so? β
"Yes, Comrade Major. Captain Rezenov is partially amnesia, otherwise a qiΔ normal. β
"Alas, but you don't even recognize your comrades. Isn't this going to be turned into a fighter? Besides, I'm worried about your motivation, after all, you're the best in our team. Hopefully, Victor, you'll get back up quickly. β
When he came to the barracks, Gamov pointed out Long Yun's original residence, arranged for Alena to live next door to Long Yun, and left to do something else.
Sitting on the wooden chair in front of the desk, Long Yun looked around at this simple single room, but with an area of more than ten square meters, there was no large piece of furniture except for a bed, a large wardrobe and the desk in front of him.
As a pilot, you can still have the treatment of living alone in the barracks, except that the restrooms are public, and everything else can be said to be fine.
After looking around, Long Yun turned to face Alena who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
In the hospital, Long Yun was told that in order to facilitate the recovery of his memory, he had to talk to the accompanying doctor twice a day, and tell Dr. SΓΉ in detail what he had seen and heard, in the hope that it would be helpful for subsequent treatment and his memory recovery.
"Victor, can you talk to me now?"
"Okay."
Anyway, there is nothing to do for the time being, and judging by the current situation, the regiment will not allow him to fly again for the time being.
Then let's talk to someone. Long Yun also has his plans: he can be said to be as curious about Rezenov's memories as those investigators; Of course, it would be good for him to be able to recall, and if not, at least he could get acquainted with the world around him from these daily contacts, which should help him in his later actions.
Thinking of this, he briefly retold what he had seen and heard today, mixed with some of his thoughts.
"So, can you recall some of the people and things of the 309th Regiment now?"
Long Yun couldn't laugh or cry a little. How can you say that you have no memories of things that you have never seen before? But it didn't seem good to say no, so he hesitated for a moment before deciding to say it half-truthfully.
"Basically no impression. Especially these people I met today, I should know them all, right? β
"It should be said that it is. Looking at the records, you were transferred from Moscow to the 309th Regiment last year, and you have been with your comrades for a while. In this way, your medium-term memory loss is also more severe, and it is difficult to wake up even if you re-contact it. β
"Well...... So, doctor, have you ever heard of someone who had a similar experience with me? β
I don't know if his situation is an isolated phenomenon, Long Yun asked cautiously.
"Well, as I said before, you're in a special situation. I personally have never been exposed to such a situation before and have not heard of such a case reported. β
