Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country!

Chapter 48 48 "I'm scared, I'm scared, but some things are higher than others."

Chapter 48 48· “I’m scared, I’m scared, but some things are higher than others.”

It's a simple, mundane step.

It is also an impassioned, tenacious and decisive step.

It is a step to face death without regrets.

"Aren't you afraid?" Zhuang Zhihong asked with a sharp tone.

"Don't be afraid!" The upward tone seemed to break through the sky.

Zhuang Zhihong's eyes once again glanced at everyone under his hands.

Look at their determined eyes and upright figures.

"Wu Ziquan, come out!" Zhuang Zhihong suddenly shouted.

"To!"

A soldier on the edge of the second row walked to the front of the team and responded loudly.

His slightly childish face looked extremely childish, and his red eyes proved that he had cried not long ago, and he cried very hard.

Wu Ziquan, a soldier who has been in the [-]st Company for almost a year.

To be honest, Zhuang Zhihong thinks that he is not very suitable to be a soldier. He is often too cowardly and prone to crying.

The body also looks a little thin, but in daily training, he will try his best to complete the target.

Zhuang Zhihong originally planned to help him transfer to a civilian job in the team after he has completed two years. This kid is careful and these are all very good, and they are all advantages.

"Wu Ziquan, tell me, are you afraid?"

Zhuang Zhihong walked in front of him, one step away, stared directly into Wu Ziquan's eyes, and shouted very sternly and quickly.

"Not afraid!"

Wu Ziquan raised his head, looked at Zhuang Zhihong, and answered loudly.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Zhuang Zhihong also shortened the distance at the last step, the two of them were almost close to each other, and asked again.

"Not afraid!"

Wu Ziquan did not modify his answer.

"Wu Ziquan, I want you to tell the truth. Tell me, are you afraid?"

Zhuang Zhihong lowered his head slightly and held Wu Ziquan's cheeks with both hands, pressing his forehead against the other person's forehead, making eye contact, speaking word by word in a tone that was close to questioning.

silence.

"answer me!"

"afraid!"

Wu Ziquan clenched his fists and his eyes turned slightly red again. He finally told the truth.

Zhuang Zhihong let go of his hand, straightened his hat somewhat gently, and said warmly:
"Then I will arrange for you to be in charge of the team responsible for maintaining the migration order later. I have told you not to go against your inner wishes, let alone force yourself to do so."

"Work hard over there. Don't worry, no one will laugh at you because of your choice. I and we all see your efforts over the past year. Wu Ziquan, you have always been a good soldier."

"Okay, let's go back to the team."

In nearly a year, Wu Ziquan had almost never heard Zhuang Zhihong speak in such a gentle tone.

After all, every time he completes a task to the death, he usually feels the presence of Zhuang Zhihong's powerful butt kicking frequently.

But he could tell that Zhuang Zhihong was telling the truth.

It's like a ferocious wolf that has faced others harshly throughout its life, and only in the last moment of farewell is it willing to show its tenderness.

Just when Zhuang Zhihong was about to call out the next soldier who might be scared, he found that none of the soldiers in front of him had returned to the team. They were still standing in front of him and looking directly at him.

There seemed to be a familiar yet unfamiliar flame burning in his eyes.

It's unfamiliar because Zhuang Zhihong has never seen it in Wu Ziquan's eyes.

It's familiar. In the snow more than [-] years ago, such a flame was burning in everyone's eyes.

"Report sir!" Wu Ziquan said forcefully.

"Say!"

"I'm afraid! I'm afraid of death!" Wu Ziquan had clenched his fists, and every time he shouted, he seemed to be using all his strength, but even so, he still stood upright, and he still kept his eyes from Zhuang Zhihong. eyes.

"Then!" Zhuang Zhihong looked at him and listened to his answer!

"But I didn't go against my inner will!"

"I want to stay here with everyone!"

"This is my wish!"

"I don't want to leave, I want to stay in the [-]st Company!"

Wu Ziquan's voice became louder and louder, more and more agitated.

"Didn't you say you were scared! Wu Ziquan!"

Zhuang Zhihong did not step forward this time, but responded to Wu Ziquan with a louder voice.

"Yes!"

"afraid!"

"I'm afraid!"

"But some things are higher than others! Sir!"

Wu Ziquan almost roared with all his strength before saying this.

Really loud. Clearly audible.

The surroundings seemed to become even quieter because of this sentence.

Zhuang Zhihong was slightly silent. He looked at the child in front of him. His eyes turned red because he spoke too loudly.

He is really not suitable to be a soldier.

He looked past Wu Ziquan again and looked at the other children whose aura and eyes had once again risen a level after hearing Wu Ziquan's heartfelt words.

Seeing that Zhuang Zhihong didn't respond to him, Wu Ziquan's courage gave out again and he muttered:

"Isn't it normal to be afraid? I'm still afraid of you. Why don't I still participate in training every day?"

"Captain Zhuang, you said before that you have to overcome fear. Why are you now teaching me to run away from fear? How can I let go when I talk..."

Wu Ziquan's voice was indeed not loud, but when it was extremely quiet, it became very clear.

"What do you think I sound like when I talk? What do you mean?"

Zhuang Zhihong glanced over and sneered.

"No, you didn't let it go. You thought I just did it."

Wu Ziquan immediately lowered his head and responded in a low voice.

The [-]st Company gradually began to tremble with laughter.

Zhuang Zhihong stepped forward and kicked Wu Ziquan in the heel. However, Wu Ziquan, who was prepared, still stood firm. Zhuang Zhihong asked loudly:
"Just answer if I ask you to. What a momentum you had just now!"

"I said your words sounded like farts!" Wu Ziquan had no choice but to speak loudly again.

The shaking was even worse from behind.

"Laugh if you want to." Zhuang Zhihong glanced at the soldiers behind him.

Then laughter started to sound behind Wu Ziquan.

"Second squad leader, write down the names of these people who are laughing, and practice more at night." Zhuang Zhihong said with a smile.

Zhuang Zhihong laughed, so everyone stopped laughing.

"Second squad leader, you smiled yourself. I saw it. Don't forget to remember your name." Zhuang Zhihong added.

Zhuang Zhihong took a deep breath. He originally planned to drag people out to chat alone, but he suddenly changed his mind.

In fact, there is no need.

He has already sensed the determination of the children under his command.

Some relief.

And a little sad.

"What makes you feel higher than others?" He walked up to Wu Ziquan and asked softly.

He felt he knew the answer to the question.

But he wanted to hear it.

The two looked at each other, almost instinctively. Wu Ziquan raised his head and answered:
"I am from Zhonghe City!"

"It's [-] million Dongren!"

"It's the promise I made to Hongyun!"

"Yes--"

"my country!"

The childish child who didn't look like a soldier, when faced with the officer's question, he suppressed his smile and answered the question seriously, sincerely and with all his strength.

He answered many answers, but it seemed that he only answered one answer.

These answers all point to one place.

She is at his feet. She is obviously very short, but she is really, really higher than the others.

Zhuang Zhihong laughed and patted Wu Ziquan on the shoulder.

"Let's go back to the team."

"Then..." Wu Ziquan still didn't go back.

"I get what you meant now."

"Yes!"

He just returned to the team.

Zhuang Zhihong's thoughts were slightly empty.

In fact, he did not change his view of Wu Ziquan.

He still believed that Wu Ziquan was not suitable to be a soldier.
