Tales of Soldier - Chapter 26

[Chapter 26]

Tang Long stood in the doorway, looked at the prison guard badge on Shen Jin’s arm, and said coldly: “I seem to have only punished you once because you offended me when I came to the Zuke Military District. I didn’t expect that. You actually hold such a grudge, not only did you deliberately become a prison guard, but you also brought in a few second lieutenants who were eliminated in the base selection.”

Shen Jin saw a second lieutenant lying on the ground behind Tang Long slightly raised his head and winked at himself. He was so relieved that he approached the chair beside him and shouted loudly: “Yes! I just want to hold revenge! You bastard made me so ugly at the airport that I couldn’t stand up in front of the recruits! These brothers are all Because of you pervert, you beat them up in the ring, not only disqualifying them, but also being hospitalized for two weeks, if it weren’t for the lack of prison guards, the entire 45th company’s second lieutenant would come in!”

Tang Long suddenly jumped up when he heard this, and stomped on the hands of the second lieutenant who was about to secretly grab his ankles. When the second lieutenant screamed, he stomped on his head and made him kiss the floor violently.

At the same time, Shen Jin had already picked up the chair and threw himself up. Tang Long flicked sideways and punched Shen Jin’s waist, causing Shen Jin to bend over in pain.

Tang Long slammed Shen into his stomach with his knees, knocked him down, and said angrily: “Fuck! You guys are reasonable, if they hadn’t surrounded me and attacked me, I would have attacked so hard. Damn it! It must have been your bastard, Shenri, who ordered them to look good on me. You are just like robbers. If you don’t grab something, you blame the person who was robbed to resist! Damn, if I don’t resist , I’m still in the hospital now!”

The more Tang Long talked, the more angry he became. Because of those second lieutenants, he became a loner in the 45th Company, and everyone looked at him with weird eyes. It seems that I shouldn’t teach them a lesson, but instead I should be beaten by the group and lie on the hospital bed!

Tang Long stepped on Shen Jin’s foot hard, gritted his teeth and said, “You were discussing how to deal with me just now? You thought I didn’t hear it! Tell you, I won’t let the person who offended Lao Tzu have a better life!” He quickly grabbed Shen Jin’s hand, twisted it hard, and the sound of clicking accompanied by screams resounded throughout the medical room. The old military doctor couldn’t help being frightened. He didn’t expect that the second lieutenant, who was in the role of being bullied just now, would not only turn around, but even be more ruthless than the five second lieutenants.

After twisting Shen Jin’s hand, Tang Long picked up the chair and smashed Shen Jin’s leg, and then kicked Shen Jin’s ribs with his feet. Shen Jin fainted long ago when his hand was twisted and severed, otherwise he might have made an inhuman voice in the face of what happened next. The old military doctor who stayed in the corner stared blankly at Tang Long using this punishment on the other four second lieutenants.

After Tang Long crippled everyone, he clapped his palms, picked up his military uniform next to the treatment box, and put it on. When he saw the old military doctor running to check the injuries of the five people, he couldn’t help asking, “How long will they be treated? Can you help me treat my broken rib first?”

Hearing this, the old military doctor was stunned. After a while, he walked over and said, “Uh, okay. That… According to normal treatment, they will have to lie down for at least a month before they can recover.”

He came to Tang Long and didn’t dare to look at Tang Long, but after checking Tang Long’s body, he kept rubbing his hands and said, “Please stand here and receive radiotherapy, and it will be fine in a few days.” The old military doctor didn’t dare to face this person, who would not hesitate to break someone’s arm, break someone’s leg bone, and kick someone’s rib.

Tang Long took off his half-dressed clothes, stood in front of the instrument pointed by the old military doctor, and said with a smile, “Do you think I’m cruel?”

The old military doctor was startled when he heard this, and shook his head hurriedly, pretending to be checking the instruments, but he knew what he was thinking by looking at his trembling body. Tang Long sighed when he saw the old military doctor’s actions and said, “I believe you heard what they were going to do with me just now. If I don’t let them lie down for a month, I will be on guard against them every day. I’ve already gone out, and I’ll settle the account with them at that time!”

Hearing these murderous words, the old military doctor was shocked, but he also felt that Tang Long was right. If they were not allowed to lie down for a month, maybe Tang Long would be insulted one day.

After treating the broken ribs with laser light, Tang Long asked while putting on his clothes: “Old man, you are so old, have you ever seen such a beating of a prisoner?”

The old military doctor nodded and said, “I’ve seen it countless times. It was because I was busy preparing for the war during this time, and there were no prisoners here, so I was free and quiet for a while here.”

Tang Long asked inexplicably: “So these guys who were originally from the regular army actually got intelligence and were transferred to be prison guards a few days after I came in, and no other prison guards showed up when they beat me. This is with the rampant abuse of power. Is it related? Is the army so dark?”

Hearing this, the old military doctor smiled and shook his head and said, “The peaceful age is too long, and everyone is obsessed with power. Government officials exchange small power for big power, and the army uses violence to gain power. In short, you put It’s easy to understand that officers in the military are those of the federal government, and it’s not surprising that they would do these things.”

When Tang Long wanted to say something, the door of the medical room was opened, and the big-bellied major walked in nervously with the two captains and a few prison guards holding electric batons.

The big-bellied major raised his brows when he saw the person lying on the ground, and he coldly shouted: “What’s going on? Tang Long, why are you here, you beat these people, come on, give me this criminal who attacked the police. Grab it!” The next few questions should have been interrogative sentences, but Tang Long sounded the tone of affirmative sentences.

When the prison guards were about to pounce, Tang Long shouted: “Wait!” When everyone was stunned, Tang Long said slowly and rationally: “Mr. Chief, why am I here, and these Why do people lie on the ground, I believe you know better than me. If you say I attacked the police, I will not defend it. What I want to say is that I was arrested by the military police under the order of Lieutenant General Sos, the highest commander of the Kake Military Region, and I I’m still an officer temporarily imprisoned here without trial. By the way, I’m a lieutenant who has made great contributions for violating military orders, and my lieutenant rank was the commander-in-chief of the Bone Dragon Cloud Army Galaxy before I violated military orders. Admiral Guao personally ordered the promotion.”

Tang Long said these facts at this time, and said it in a proud tone, giving it a threatening taste. Seeing that the major’s face was blue and white, and sweat began to appear on his fat face, Tang Long was overjoyed, he knew that he had fooled the warden.

Hearing Tang Long’s words, and thinking that he received an order from the headquarters to accept the prisoner himself, he couldn’t help but regret that he promised to help Shen Jin without understanding Tang Long’s details. The major suddenly remembered what if Tang Long lied to him?

But before he had time to think about it, he immediately thought of what if what Tang Long said was true? Having received the attention of the two super officers and made great contributions, it is absolutely possible for him to jump several ranks and become a higher-ranking officer than himself. And even if it wasn’t like that, when the two officers questioned him, he said a few bad things about himself to them, wouldn’t he be out of luck?

Those prison guards with electric prods, although they didn’t know how the officer made the decision, they themselves knew how to analyze the situation. When they were thinking about the superior, their own decision had already been made. Didn’t they all secretly turn off the power of the electric prod?

The major soon realized that no matter whether what Tang Long said was true or not, he still had better not offend him. With a decision, a smile appeared on his face again, and the sweat disappeared. He said with a smile: “I’m sorry, Mr. Tang Long, I apologize to you for being reckless just now. Of course, you also know that it is difficult for us as subordinates to do it. You can see if you return to…” The officer looked like this, the prison guards immediately put away the electric baton wisely, and the two captains standing behind the major also immediately piled up smiling faces.

Tang Long nodded and smiled: “Of course, I’m going back to my cell. How about finding a brother to show me the way?”

“No problem. Corporal, please send Mr. Tang Long back to his dormitory soon!” The major nodded with a smile and immediately shouted at a prison guard. Someone tidy up the room for you.”

Lying on the soft and warm quilt, looking at the new equipment around him, Tang Long felt the benefits of power for the first time. When I said the names of the two senior officers, I deliberately said it as if they had something to do with them. In this way, the major not only did not pursue the issue of beating, but also increased the treatment he enjoyed by dozens of levels.

Tang Long looked at the delicious food in the fine food box on the beautiful desk, and thought about the junk food he ate not long ago, he couldn’t help but sigh: “Power is really a good thing!”

However, this kind of good treatment began to disappear after Tang Long was still not in court for a month, and the irritable Tang Long was not in the mood to care about these things.

At first, Tang Long dreamed of promotion all day long, but for so long, no one came to ask him to go to the military court for interrogation, and no one talked to him. Tang Long, who felt worse than in the training camp, began to think wildly. .

For the first time, he started to recall the things he encountered when he was a soldier from beginning to end. When he thought of happy things, he would giggle, and when he thought of boring things, he would also sigh in boredom. Now he remembered that in the last battle, when he decided to refuse the imperial army’s surrender, he was ready to go to the military court.

That’s because he knew that there was only one result of surrendering to the Imperial Guard, who was on a secret mission, and that was silence. Although it is very likely that he will be sentenced to death if he goes to a military court, he is trying to destroy the enemy’s vanguard, and he escaped after an hour of support.

According to the order of the Admiral Guao, he has completed the task of resisting the enemy for an hour. At least there is a place to turn around, unlike a dead end after surrendering to the enemy. That’s why I immediately fled desperately after destroying some enemies. Now it seems that my judgment is correct, otherwise I will be executed when I get off the battleship, where would I use a military court.

Thinking of this, Tang Long couldn’t help but think of the soldiers who surrendered. Their fate may have been decided after they escaped. Tang Long, whose face was full of pride, began to darken. Tang Long couldn’t help thinking that if they were willing to obey his orders and attack the enemy again, wouldn’t it be possible for them to return here after completing the blocking task? It’s a pity that they think they lied to them, refuse to accept their command, and turn their guns to chase after themselves, throwing away their only chance to survive.

In fact, there was nothing I could do to deceive them in the first place. Otherwise, I would understand the power balance of the two sides very well, and at the same time, I also vaguely felt that the country had abandoned them. Maybe when the vanguard of the empire appeared, the chaotic people in my group would be was wiped out. Alas, it was all to blame that the general ordered the execution of those who escaped the battle, leaving the soldiers with only three choices, that is, to die in battle, to be executed, or to surrender.

If I told them my true thoughts at that time, maybe they would follow me? Instead of doing it themselves, they use deceit to get them to carry out their own plans. Is this because he is afraid that they will not believe in him and thus miss the opportunity? Or is it the result of unintentionally taking out the habit you developed in the game “War”?

In the game, in order to win, some players’ battleships are often required to be sacrificed, but those players are generally unwilling to serve for their own scores. In order to win, he had to deceive them and let them fight without knowing it. Although they were scolded by them afterwards, but if they were humble, they would be fine. But this is a realistic battle. If you take one wrong step, you will perish. Even if you want to apologize, you can’t find someone to apologize to.

Thinking of this, Tang Long suddenly realized that he seemed to be cold-blooded, because at that time, he didn’t feel any sadness when he saw the deaths of those who came to hunt him down.

They do this, not because they immediately followed the orders of their new masters to hunt and kill them after they surrendered. The two sides are already enemies, so they will not feel sad about their deaths. Because I understand the feelings of those people very well, if I were in their situation, I would immediately obey the order and hunt down. Because they have already betrayed the federation, if they want to survive, they can only obey orders. They may say how to bear to attack Paoze not long ago, but they abandoned the honor of soldiers in order to survive at the beginning, so what is the feeling of Paoze at this time? At all? Everyone has become the enemy!

But this reason is not enough to prove that it is a reason to not feel sad. Apart from being cold-blooded, I really can’t think of any other reason. But why don’t you agree with the word cold-blooded in your heart?

Although I don’t know why all the soldiers choose to surrender, I know that if I don’t know that those are the Janissaries with secret missions, I will also choose to surrender. I don’t want to die at such a young age, because I still have a lot of wishes to fulfill. I believe that those soldiers also have various dreams like myself.

Although he clearly told them at the time that the Imperial Army would not accept surrender. But they just received a communication from the Imperial Army to surrender, and they have a deceitful record of themselves, of course, they will think that they do not want them to surrender, and deceive them again. At this time, no matter how they explained it, they would not believe it. Alas, it was all the wrong decision that I didn’t tell the truth in the first place.

Tang Long suddenly remembered that he would face thousands of people dying in front of him, and the reason why he didn’t feel any pain was because he couldn’t see the bloody and tragic scene at all, and there was no sense of shock. . At that time, when I saw those battleships explode, it was just like seeing those battleships in the game being exploded, making it impossible for me to feel guilty for killing.

This may be the after-effects of playing real games, making people unable to distinguish which is the game and which is the real. Although he can still tell that he is in reality, he still regards those scenes as a game subconsciously.

Thinking of this, although Tang Long knew that he was not cold-blooded, he still shook his head sadly. Because if I don’t get rid of the sequelae of the real game, I will treat everything as a scene in the game in my life, and become a real cold-blooded person who ignores the lives of others. For the first time, Tang Long really understood why the machine instructor reminded him not to indulge in real games.

Tang Long, who was starting to feel depressed, curled up in the corner of the bed and quietly looked at the snow-white sheets. He suddenly remembered something he had never thought about, that is, now he understands that even if he is promoted to a first-level official rank, he is sacrificing It took countless lives in exchange.

Although this sacrifice is the enemy’s life, but also the life of their own people. And isn’t the life of the enemy not life?

As a lieutenant, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the enemy and allies died. Based on this calculation, if you want to become a marshal, you don’t want to die…

Tang Long trembled at the unimaginable number, because he knew that he aspired to be a marshal, but he just thought that the marshal was the highest commander of the army, so he regarded becoming a marshal as his goal. In this way, it is as if I regard the position of Marshal as a proof of clearing the game in the game.

Woo, it’s a game again. When I hoped to play life as a game, I was so angry that I had been helping my computer sister. Now I realize that my long-standing ideal has also been regarded as a game by myself.

Tang Long held his head in pain and groaned, because he suddenly realized how ridiculous it was for him to pursue the position of Marshal. For this goal, he sacrificed more than 100,000 robes, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers, and even almost sacrificed his partners who obeyed his orders. Now it is even more implicated in squatting partners into the cell, making them wait for an inexplicable and unknown tomorrow in helplessness and pain.

“Maybe, my idea of becoming a soldier is wrong, especially the idea of becoming a marshal who shoulders the fate of all soldiers. It’s even more wrong, because I can’t even afford the fate of one person.” Tang Longan red muttered to himself.

Inadvertently looking up at the pitch-dark scenery outside, Tang Long couldn’t help but murmured, “I really want to go home, I really want to go shopping with Sister Computer without restraint.” With these words, Tang Long with tears in his eyes. Slowly entered the dreamland.

Tang Long, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by a basin of cold water. Tang Long, who was shivering and sneezing, shouted, “Who is so immoral!” He jumped up in a hurry and assumed a defensive posture.

The people standing at the door were not the people in Tang Long’s mind, but the two prison guards who used to come to curry favor with him. Seeing their expressionless faces, Tang Long couldn’t help but be taken aback, but he also immediately knew that something was wrong.

Tang Long wiped the drops of water on his face, frowned and said, “Two brothers, why are you joking with me like this?” Tang Long, in this month’s wild thoughts, knew that he couldn’t be the same as before. Cursed at the mouth. And now Tang Long doesn’t want to be a soldier, so he is ready to endure until the end of the trial and apply for retirement himself. For this moment, I had to swallow my anger.

The two prison guards snorted coldly, opened the fence that had long been disconnected from power, tapped the iron fence with batons and said in a cold voice, “Come out, you liar!”

“Oh, okay…yeah? Liar? What liar?” Tang Long, who had come out obediently, was stunned when he heard the latter sentence.

“Hmph, you know it yourself. Don’t talk too much, go!” A prison guard turned on the power of the baton and demonstrated in front of Tang Long with the sparkling baton.

“Uh, where do you want me to go?” Seeing that the prison guard’s face was not good, although he didn’t know what was going on, he didn’t ask any more questions, lest he suffer an innocent disaster. After being imprisoned for a month, and at the same time being occupied by his own thoughts, Tang Long’s mind began to weaken.

“Change your room!” After Tang Long came out, the prison guard who put the handcuffs on him said this and stopped talking, escorting Tang Long through the rows of empty cells one after the other.

Tang Long secretly wondered why he had to change the room? Why don’t you use that prison transporter this time? Originally thought that the prison guard wanted to replace his room with an ordinary one because he saw that his room was too beautiful, but found that he had left the ten-story building and reached the ground floor as he walked.

The two prison guards kept silent and led Tang Long through the dim corridor into a room. After entering, Tang Long realized that it was actually an elevator. The guard pressed a button, and the elevator began to descend slowly. I don’t know how long it took, the elevator door opened, and what came into my eyes was a concrete passage with dirty air.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Tang Long felt that the temperature was getting colder, and the clothes that got wet just now made him involuntarily shrink his neck like the prison guard in front of him. Tang Long looked at the passage and found that moss actually appeared on the wall, and the sensor light on the other side flickered as if the power was low, which looked eerie and eerie. Follow the prison guards to get farther and farther. Tang Long saw that something was wrong, so he could not help but start to be on guard.

The prison guard who led the way finally stopped in front of a sealed iron gate. The prison guard at the back pushed Tang Long and let Tang Long stand in front of the iron gate. The two prison guards sandwiched Tang Long in the middle. The prison guard on the right pressed the button beside the door, and after finding it useless, he scolded in a low voice, “Damn, something that has been around for hundreds of years will break after not being used for a few years.”

While cursing, he tapped the place covered with moss above the button with his baton, as if he had found something. After removing the moss, a rusted iron plate was exposed. He gave the rusted iron a few hard hits with his baton, and then pulled the plate apart with his hands, revealing what looked like a handle inside.

The prison guard pressed the handle down hard, and there was a creaking sound from the quiet surroundings. Tang Long found that the iron door began to crack slowly with the sound.

After the iron gate opened, a colder wind blew in with moisture, causing Tang Long, who was soaking wet, to shiver involuntarily. Inside the iron gate, it was pitch black and there was no light, and nothing could be seen.

At this time, Tang Long was held by a prison guard with a baton, and another prison guard untied Tang Long’s handcuffs. Tang Long moved his wrist while looking at the gloomy scenery in front of him and asked, “This is…”

Before Tang Long could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a severe electric shock on his waist, causing him to collapse to the ground with a scream. A prison guard made Tang Long roll into the iron gate with his feet, and said at the same time, “This is your new cell.”

Tang Long, who was completely paralyzed, struggled to get up and glared at the prison guard fiercely. The prison guard saw Tang Long’s eyes, and his body shook uncontrollably. He avoided Tang Long’s eyes and said, “Don’t blame me, this is the order of the warden.” After a while, he continued: “This is Jia Kexing. In the underground mine tunnel during the development period, although it was well-connected in all directions, there was no other way out except this exit, so this place can also be said to be a huge prison cell for felons. Rest assured, your collar will make us want to let you out when we want to let you out. Finding you, of course, is only on the premise that the military court remembers you.” Then, he took out two things from his pocket and threw them beside Tang Long and said, “Those are edible mushrooms and fresh water generators, although they are small, they also It can meet your daily needs.”

When the prison guard was about to say something, the guard next to him said impatiently: “Okay, what to say to this liar, let’s go, I’ll catch a cold if I stay for a while.”

When the prison guard heard this, he could only nodded helplessly and said, “Close the door.” The moment the door closed, Tang Long only heard him say: “I hope to see you next time outside.” into a world of silence and darkness.

Tang Long, whose paralysis had disappeared, got up and sat on the ground, while groping for the two machines that would survive in the future, he muttered, “Oh, why did you suddenly lock me here? And why do they keep saying that I am Liars? I don’t remember lying to them. I didn’t exaggerate when I told them I wiped out 2,000 battleships in the Empire. What’s going on?”

Tang Long stuffed the two machines he touched into his pockets. These two things were lost, and it was very difficult to find them in this invisible place. Tang Long found that he still couldn’t see anything after so long, knowing that there was no light here, it seemed that he could only be blind. Tang Long shook his head and began to slowly explore the surrounding terrain. He didn’t want to stay by the door all the time. Since they said they could find him, he didn’t have to worry about getting lost.

Trapped in a dark and unfamiliar environment, Tang Long Nayu’s awareness of surviving in adversity engraved in his mind began to move. He touched a long metal thing underground, remembered what he saw in the movie, and knew that it was a suspended electric rail used to transmit minerals.

Tang Long pressed the electric rail, looked at the pitch-dark surroundings and couldn’t help laughing: “If I had stayed in such an environment before, I would have panicked and yelled, maybe I would have gone crazy right away. But after training with a perverted instructor For me, isn’t this environment as relaxing as walking in my own courtyard?”

Tang Long began to think of the five identical machine instructors, and after a while he sighed: “Oh, when I left the 23rd regiment, I arrogantly said that when I meet them again, they must salute him first. Now it’s not easy. I became a lieutenant, but I no longer had the desire to pursue promotion. Alas, go see the instructors before applying for retirement, or you may not find a civilian spaceship that can go to the training camp of the 23rd regiment. I don’t know if the instructor knows The soldiers they taught so hard actually want to retire, what will their expressions look like? Maybe the electronic eyes will be so red that they will be broken? Hohoho, it would be good to be an explorer instead of a soldier, so as not to waste your own skills. ”

When Tang Long was about to start his adventure in the dark underground, the two prison guards had already returned to the warden’s room. The warden, who was buried in the wide chair, glanced at the two and asked, “Have you locked him in?”

“Yes.” The prison guard nodded.

“That’s a terrifying guy who actually made Shen Jin, a person who likes to hold grudges, transferred away from this planet through relationships while he was still lying on the hospital bed.” The warden looked at the ceiling and said leisurely.

“Uh, then you still…” The prison guard who gave Tang Long two machines couldn’t help but feel strange. Since the prison director thought Tang Long was so terrifying, why did he dare to put him there? Aren’t you afraid that he will come to take revenge after being interrogated? Or did the warden know that Tang Long could not be released?

“If it wasn’t for the order from above, I don’t want to offend that guy.” The prison warden said with a sigh of relief after his temple. “Actually, there is no need to worry, anyway, there is no possibility that he will be interrogated.”

“Is it Lieutenant General Soth’s order?” Another prison guard asked excitedly.

The warden shook his head: “No, it was an order from someone higher than the commander of the Bone Cloud Dragon Galaxy Group Army.” Speaking of which, he looked at the two prison guards and said solemnly: “Okay, take and that Tang Long Forget everything about it, remember not to mention it to anyone, or I won’t be able to protect you.”

Seeing the inexplicable cold light flashing in the warden’s eyes, the two prison guards shivered and nodded hurriedly. When the atmosphere was very dull, the three-dimensional TV that was always on in the room suddenly heard the sweet voice of the announcer: “Everyone, please look at us, the one standing under the battleship waving to us is our battle hero, who destroyed 2,000 imperial warships. Lieutenant Dan Tres! Oh, sorry, Lieutenant Dan Tres!”

When the warden saw the person displayed on the screen, he could not help but snorted softly and pressed the remote control to turn the table.
