Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

November.

The weather is already getting colder.

The camp is already stocking up on food and other daily supplies.

In order to prevent the camp, far away from the military area and the city, from being cut off from supplies after the heavy snow blocked the road, and was isolated among the wasteland and bare mountains.

It has become increasingly difficult to patrol the border line from Highland 012 to River Valley 039.

The sun above our heads was no longer shining, but the increasingly biting cold wind didn't make the situation any better.

When going out, no matter how tightly you wrap yourself up, the wind seems to be all-pervasive and keeps getting into your clothes.

On the ridges and rocky beaches, whether it is ice or frozen soil, the road is more difficult to walk than before.

When the wind blows, one has to follow closely and cooperate with each other to avoid being taken down the cliff.

At the same time, daylight hours are inevitably decreasing.

All these factors increase the difficulty of patrolling the defense line.

Although it is impossible for anyone to enter the country illegally in this winter weather, it is also impossible for those from other countries outside the border to do anything in this weather.

But it’s impossible to really abandon the defense line.

Guarding this national border is the core mission of the Jagged Border Guard Battalion.

also,

Since mid-October, many non-commissioned officers and commanders in the camp have been taking turns to take vacations.

Because of their location, it is basically impossible to go back during the Chinese New Year.

It was freezing cold at that time, and even if I could go out, I couldn't come back.

If you want to take a vacation before the year, you can only do it at this time, before the road is covered by snow or other obstacles, and come back immediately after taking the vacation.

Otherwise, we have to wait until spring.

Mo Dao also chose to take some time off at this time.

After another round of patrolling the defense line and returning to the camp, they left the camp.

He didn't choose to go back to Xishou, his hometown. He was alone and there was no need to go back.

We have arrived at the capital of Frontier Province.

When I got off the train at the station,

Qin Huaishi picked him up at the station.

In the next few days,

There was no sense of unfamiliarity after a long separation, perhaps because the two of them had never really been far apart.

Qin Huaishi led Mo Dao to some scenic spots near the capital of the border province.

However, the two of them never cared too much about where they were in the past.

Most of the time, they just walked side by side and talked about things in life.

Qin Huai's poem will mention some things in study and research,

Mo Dao will also talk about some things that are not confidential during training and missions.

"Mo Dao, I saw your name in the Hua Xin News Agency report before."

"Um."

Mo Dao paused for a moment, and when he heard the name Hua Xin News Agency, he was really in a trance.

Qin Huaishi turned to the report she had collected and handed it to Mo Dao with a smile in her eyes.

"Are you doing meritorious service again?"

Qin Huaishi asked with a smile.

When she saw the news, she was worried.

But she did not advise Mo Dao to be safe or not to do it.

She didn't want to add any burden or worry to Mo Dao, but she wanted him to know that she was proud of him.

Because she knew that this was what Mo Dao wanted to do.

It was as if Mo Dao would not stop her from engaging in biological research.

He and she could be close to each other, just like she had chosen to come to the Frontier Province.

But when they stand together, they don't need to and shouldn't completely sacrifice each other's life.

They are not separated because of this, they are standing together.

"Um."

Mo Dao smiled and responded,

"Will you save the military medal for me?"

Mo Dao asked,

As Qin Huaishi listened, his earlobes turned red to his neck.

She turned her head and took two steps forward as if she didn't care.

Then he turned back and, although his face was red, he nodded seriously.

"OK."

Qin Huaishi never lacked courage.

…

I stayed in the provincial capital for almost two weeks. During these two weeks,

Both of them were together, talking and chatting about some things.

Then time flows slowly through it.

Two weeks later, Qin Huaishi went to the station to say goodbye to Mo Dao.

Mo Dao left his first-class merit medal with Qin Huaishi.

After getting on the train,

After another long journey and several twists and turns, Mo Dao returned to the camp area.

…

"Company commander..."

Fourth Company, Mo Dao stepped into the dormitory, and the soldiers on duty outside the building saluted Mo Dao.

Don't return the favor.

Just like the plan of the battalion commander and instructor when Mo Dao arrived at the border camp,

Prepare for Mo Dao to slowly transition to the position of company commander.

And after these few months,

The previous worries of the battalion commander and others were naturally gone.

The entire fourth company naturally had no objections to Mo Dao taking over as company commander.

After the previous conflict, the entire company was convinced of Mo Dao.

Especially the first and second platoons at that time, all they needed to do was shout, "We are of the same mind as instructor Mo."

So, finally,

The original transfer order from the fourth company commander came down.

The general was transferred to the same brigade and held a deputy battalion-level position in another battalion.

Of course, Mo Dao officially took over the position and responsibilities of the fourth company commander.

Quickly walked into the dormitory building,

Mo Dao walked to the door of a single room.

In the room was Xu Zhiyi, the former commander of the fourth company who had been confirmed to be transferred.

At this moment, Xu Zhiyi had packed his luggage and looked at the four walls of the room, seemingly in a trance.

Mo Dao didn't come forward to disturb him, he just waited outside the door.

"Hey, Mo Lian is here."

"Company commander."

Turning his head and seeing Mo Dao, Xu Zhiyi came out of his trance and greeted Mo Dao with a smile.

Mo Dao stepped forward and called him.

"They have all resigned."

"Then I call you Senior Xu, the battalion commander?"

"Forget it then. Let's call him company commander."

Xu Zhiyi waved his hand, then looked at the room again.

"Company Commander is leaving today?"

"Um."

Xu Zhiyi nodded, then looked at Mo Dao,

"Farewell banquet, egg dumplings, everything you should eat, and everything you should drink. The deadline for the transfer order given over there is coming soon."

"Originally, I wanted to go home and stay for a few days, but it ended up being delayed until now. It's time to leave."

Xu Zhiyi was a little helpless and a little emotional.

"By the way, Captain Mo, don't call anyone. If it's time to see you off, we already said it at dinner the night before. Don't make it uncomfortable again."

Xu Zhiyi said again.

Mo Dao nodded and looked at Xu Zhiyi without saying anything.

Xu Zhiyi walked around, looked around the room, and then went to pick up his luggage. Mo Dao helped him and picked it up.

The two people left the house,

Xu Zhiyi turned his head again and looked at the building with some feelings again.

"Ordinarily, I should be relieved if Mo Dao takes over the company and takes care of it. Those bastards have been talking to you better, Captain Mo, for a long time. I'm sure there will be no problem with you taking charge."

"It's just that I've been here for several years, and I'm really worried about leaving soon...I can't bear to leave."

Xu Zhiyi said another sentence.

Mo Dao listened quietly from the side,

"Our camp is also the place where I have stayed the longest after graduation... I don't know when I will come back next time."

While talking, Mo Dao helped carry the luggage, and the two walked out of the building.

Then, walking all the way, Mo Dao sent Xu Zhiyi to the gate of the camp.

There is already a car waiting.

but,

Xu Zhiyi's idea of ​​sneaking away still didn't come true.

After all, there were soldiers standing guard outside the accommodation building. Looking at the bag, he naturally knew what was going on.

Finally, except for the battalion commander and instructor, Mo Dao,

Most of the entire camp came to bid farewell to the former commander of the fourth company.

Although the atmosphere was a bit sad, no one asked Xu Zhiyi to stay.

After all, Xu Zhiyi was promoted and not changed jobs.

I just said in the end that Captain Xu Zhiyi should come back more often.

…

After bidding farewell to Xu Zhiyi,

Mo Dao officially took over the work of the Fourth Company. Since the new instructor has not yet been arranged,

Relevant work is still temporarily handled by Mo Dao.

The position of platoon leader is no longer held concurrently and is held by a second lieutenant officer in the battalion.

In addition, due to their previous meritorious service, many non-commissioned officers in Mo Dao's fourth company also met the requirements for meritorious service and advancement.

Some of those who meet the age limit are already preparing to attend military academies next year.

It can be said that the fate of many non-commissioned officers of the Fourth Company has changed as a result.
