"Captain!"
Qin Feng was the last to come up, and someone greeted him as soon as he did.
His gaze immediately swept across the cabin. Zhang Tiande, Xia Nan, Xu Hong, and the others were all there.
Although they were all disheveled, they were all in good spirits and unharmed.
Qin Feng immediately smiled.
It was a smile of surviving a disaster.
Seeing Qin Feng's smile, they all laughed too.
This feeling of having survived a great danger made them feel that it was truly not easy to have made it out alive.
They all started laughing, but Xia Nan, who had been smiling, suddenly burst into tears. She was crying and laughing, her entire face wet with tears.
She felt it was too much for her.
She had known war was cruel, but she never expected the real thing to be so terrifying. Her survival was entirely due to these soldiers who had risked their lives, who had bled fighting the enemy to secure her safety.
This was an experience of nine deaths and one life.
However, although she was still alive, her assistant would never return.
This was a wound that could never be healed, a guilt that would haunt her forever.
If she could go back, she would never have been so impulsive. Even if she had to come, she would have come alone, never involving others.
Then, Zhuang Yu and Tong Li also began to cry.
It wasn't that they weren't strong enough, but their nerves had been stretched too tight, almost to the breaking point.
Although they weren't afraid of death and were willing to die, who truly wanted to die?
Everyone wanted to live.
On the battlefield, facing a life-and-death struggle, they felt nothing. For a soldier, dying on the battlefield and being buried in horsehide was an honor.
But what about after they calmed down?
When they thought of their families, their loved ones, their friends, their comrades...
Who would want to die if they could live?
No matter how tough soldiers were, they were still flesh and blood, with tenderness and emotions, not cold robots.
Every time they fought, they wanted to survive.
For the sake of those around them!
At this moment, everyone's eyes were red, including He Chenguang and the others.
In past missions, they had faced countless dangers, even casualties, but never had they struggled in such brutal warfare, directly confronting so much death.
Militants, rebels, ordinary civilians – no one was spared. Death could happen at any moment.
These were all things He Chenguang and the others had never experienced. During the fighting, they had come to truly understand what real comrades were and what the greatest responsibility was.
They were not afraid of death. When they put on this uniform, they had already considered the worst-case scenario.
However, they had never felt so deeply as they did now.
This was the real battlefield!
Under these circumstances, Qin Feng would have also felt emotional, but his mental strength had just been enhanced. He could use his brain to think about two things simultaneously, immediately shifting his attention and his emotions returning to normal.
Yang Rui, with his eyes red, looked at Qin Feng and found him silent, his face a mask of indifference, as if nothing had happened, or as if it were a very ordinary event in his eyes.
"Captain Qin is at most twenty years old. How can he have such a hard heart?"
Yang Rui was utterly astonished.
He could say that after such a life-and-death battle, even for special forces soldiers, how many times in their lives would they experience something like this? Yang Rui, who had been a special forces soldier for five years, was experiencing such combat for the first time, let alone the others.
Especially the bloody massacre scenes, the innocent civilians, turned into minced meat by a single shell!
Under the barrage of bullets, bodies were torn apart!
Whether it was children, the elderly, or women, no one was spared during the attack.
Gruesome and terrifying images flashed through everyone's minds, as if they had just happened moments ago.
Everyone had a head, a shoulder, two legs. Who wasn't afraid? The only thing they could do was try their best to survive.
"What has Captain Qin gone through?"
Yang Rui let out a wry, helpless smile. He was now certain that he would never be able to catch up to Qin Feng in this lifetime, and the gap would only widen.
In fact, Yang Rui didn't know that Qin Feng wasn't fearless. He didn't know when a bullet or a shell would end his life. What would happen to his grandparents then? What about the brothers behind him in the Red Blood Cells?
If he sacrificed himself, how would they send him off? Perhaps they would cover the flag with his worn clothes and send them to his family.
What would his grandparents' expressions be when they saw that?
Qin Feng didn't know!
Qin Feng didn't dare to imagine.
After his parents were gone, his grandparents had painstakingly raised him. He was their only grandson. If they had to experience the pain of parents outliving their child again, could they bear it?
Images flashed through Qin Feng's mind.
The caring smiles of his grandparents, the sincere smiles of his comrades.
As he thought about it, Qin Feng's eyes also turned red without him realizing it.
Yang Rui suddenly noticed Qin Feng's eyes and finally let out a long sigh, saying, "Damn it, I thought Captain Qin was made of stone, but it turns out he was just holding back."
Humans are not plants; how can they be without feeling?
When war and death are truly placed before them, who can remain indifferent?
Yang Rui looked around. The mood of everyone in the entire vehicle was exceptionally heavy; no one was at ease.
Not even the strong Qin Feng was an exception.
Although he wasn't born in this world, he had been here for so long that his feelings for everyone had deepened.
In fact, Qin Feng was also flesh and blood. When faced with death, his emotions were as heavy as anyone else's, but he was just better at concealing it.
However, Yang Rui still admired Qin Feng from the bottom of his heart.
It was just that Yang Rui didn't know that Qin Feng's ability to hide his emotions was a benefit of his enhanced brain functions.
After his brain enhancement, even when facing immense sorrow, Qin Feng could use his second consciousness to transfer the sadness away, outwardly showing no sign of it.
At this moment, Qin Feng's heart was in turmoil, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.
This was the terrifying power of multitasking!
Qin Feng's control over his emotions was not only fluid but also completely undetectable.
It was as if an adult, having been beaten down by society too much, had become numb inside, and his inner thoughts were hidden even deeper.
It wasn't that he didn't feel sadness, or that he hadn't reached the point of sadness, but simply that he had become numb!
It was like men don't cry easily; it wasn't that they wouldn't cry, but that they hadn't reached the point of deep sorrow.
And even if they did, in today's society, after a good cry, one still has to get up and fight.
