Chapter 770: The Battle for the Guardian Gene Medicine (Part 2)
The battle has been going on, and this time the invading enemy is very cunning and patient. Their attack has lasted for almost two hours now, but they still show no signs of retreating.
Sun Heng looked at the automatic weapons continuously counterattacking, blocking the enemy in front of us fifty meters away, and eliminating them one by one. He let out a slight sigh of relief, sat down behind the cover, and said to me: "Jin Cang, it seems that these automatic weapons are still useful after all. Our people were almost unable to hold back the enemy, but they were actually held back by these things."
I nodded, taking a glance at the automatic machine gun still firing bullets, and said: "These weapons are heavier than those used by humans directly, but they're quite useful in defensive battles. Captain Sun, I think it'll take them some time to break in, why don't we go check on the back door instead?"
Sun Heng nodded: "I'll go take a look at the situation with the back door, you stay here and direct the battle here."
I nodded and watched as Sun Heng left. At this time, I saw that the enemy's attack had slowed down a bit, so I said to the soldiers who were directing the automatic weapons battle: "Suspend fire, replace the ammunition box, and prepare for the next battle."
The warriors immediately began executing my orders. I stared at the movements of the enemy outside the door from the bunker, fearing that the enemy would take advantage of our opportunity to attack us while we were changing bullets.
This time my worries were unnecessary, our enemy was probably also considering new tactics and had no intention of launching an attack.
I became even more worried, because according to common sense, the enemy's behavior was somewhat unconventional. Although many of them were killed or injured by our automatic weapons, most of them still had combat effectiveness and should not have let go of such a good opportunity. Unless they were preparing to play some tricks or had other plans.
Sun Heng returned at this time and saw that both sides had almost ceased fire. He asked me, "What's the situation? Are we going to use rocket-propelled grenades again?"
Sun Heng's words reminded me, and I immediately shouted to everyone: "Pay attention to cover, the enemy is going to use rocket shells..."
No sooner had I finished speaking than a flash of fire appeared, and a rocket grenade flew over, heading straight for the front gate of our building.
Without waiting for orders, all automatic weapons that had finished reloading opened fire, aiming to intercept the incoming rockets.
I couldn't help but close my eyes, and then I heard a loud bang, a wave of air rushed over, and I was directly knocked to the ground.
When I opened my eyes, I found that our gate had been completely deformed and was full of holes. What's strange is that a rocket shell capable of destroying a tank only blasted some holes in the gate? Even the two pots of lucky bamboo beside the gate were not destroyed.
When I looked closely, I found the reason. I don't know if it was heaven's blessing, but a soldier actually used an automatic weapon to intercept the rocket, which exploded at a distance from the gate, and only some shrapnel flew over and pierced the door panel, thus avoiding casualties among our people.
"Good job! That's the way, give it to them good and hard. Anyone who dares to invade us will never be forgiven. Even heaven is helping us, they have no chance of defeating us."
Almost all warriors secretly rejoiced and then fought back even more desperately.
I took a glance at the enemy transmitted through the surveillance and said with great puzzlement, "There were only a few dozen people attacking the front door, how can they last so long?"
Sun Heng also had some doubts: "Yes, they've been at it for two hours now, with at least twenty casualties, how can they still persist in attacking us? There's something fishy going on here, are they just trying to distract us while they have another plan...?"
I immediately thought of the gene medicine I was about to check an hour ago, and said to Sun Heng: "Let's go take a look at the gene medicine. We can't let the enemy take advantage of us and steal the gene medicine."
Sun Heng seemed to have thought of something too, and quickly got up, running in big strides towards the room where the safe was.
I also hurried up and followed, then I saw Sun Heng communicating with the warriors who were left in the room.
The five warriors were still there, motionless and steadfast at their posts. I exchanged a glance with Sun Heng, opened the glass door outside the safe, and saw the password keyboard and fingerprint reader. Sun Heng and I both secretly let out a sigh of relief, then simultaneously said: "Open it and take a look?"
I nodded slightly and said to Sun Heng: "Shall we ask Old Chen first? We don't have the authority to open this safe by ourselves."
Sun Heng was stunned: "You know the password, fingerprint is mine, how come we don't have permission to open this safe?"
I frowned and said, "Chen Lao has said before that without orders, we can't open this safe on our own initiative, let alone take out the gene medicine inside. You were present at that time, you won't have forgotten, will you?"
Sun Heng nodded: "You're right, Old Chen did say that. But now is a special time, we just want to confirm whether the gene medicine is safe now, so we need to open the safe deposit box, shouldn't it be against Old Chen's orders?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look!" After a pause, I turned to the five warriors and said, "You all go out for now."
The nameless warrior reluctantly turned and left, even Sun Heng looked at me with some confusion, wanting to say something but unable to speak.
"I whispered: 'This gene medicine is not known to everyone, it's still confidential, we need to be more careful. The fewer people who know its specific appearance, the safer it will be.'"
Sun Heng nodded, first pressing down his fingerprint. I also went forward to input the cumbersome password, then retreated to one side and waited until Sun pressed his fingerprint again before hearing the sound of the lock being opened.
The safe had a built-in temperature control device, so when it was opened, I saw a faint mist drifting out.
Sun Heng looked at the two identical small leather suitcases inside the safe, reached out and picked one up: "What's the password? Open it to take a look, make sure there's no problem."
I hesitated, I knew the password of this suitcase, but Old Chen had strictly ordered us not to open it privately. So I said to Sun Heng: "Old Chen has an order, we can't open this suitcase privately."
Sun Heng looked at me and said: "How can you know if it's been stolen or not without opening it?"
I smiled: "This suitcase is fine, there shouldn't be any problem."
Sun Heng insisted on his idea: "We have to take a look to know what's going on, don't worry about anything, if there's a problem, I'll be responsible."
I was still hesitating when Sun Heng couldn't wait any longer and said: "Come on, we can't stay here for too long."
I looked at him with a determined look that wouldn't back down without taking a peek, so I had no choice but to tell him the password and let him take a look.
Sun Heng entered the password and smoothly opened the suitcase. Inside the suitcase, a test tube was fixed with foam, and there was a yellow liquid inside the test tube.
Sun Heng's serious expression revealed a hint of doubt: "Is this really the gene agent? Why does it look so ordinary?"
I took a glance at the yellow liquid and nodded, saying: "It's the raw material for the gene medicine. I saw it when Old Man Chen sent someone to deliver it, it was like this."
Sun Heng nodded, relocked the box and put it back in the safe, then picked up another leather suitcase.
"I said, 'Don't bother looking at that one, it's just an insurance agent, relatively ordinary, nothing will happen.'"
Sun Heng nodded and put down his suitcase, saying to me: "You go first, I'll lock the safe and come over."
I nodded subconsciously and turned around to leave, but then thought of something and was about to turn back when I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, after which I lost consciousness...
I was rescued by a doctor, but after waking up, I was told that I had been attacked by someone with a heavy object and had fallen into a coma. If it wasn't for being discovered in time, I would have gone to see the King of Hell.
However, after I woke up, I found that I had lost some of my memories, including some things that I used to care about a lot, and I couldn't recall them completely. The military doctor in the unit told me: "This is a sequelae left after your brain was severely hit, belonging to partial memory loss. We will give you treatment, and believe that soon you will be able to remember things from before."
I felt a bit bewildered: "I think I've forgotten so many things, don't need treatment anymore?"
The doctor, a middle-aged military man, said seriously: "No treatment? I'm telling you, if you don't treat it, you may forget even more things in the future until you completely lose your memory."
I was startled and hastily said: "Then why don't you hurry up and give me the prescription?"
The doctor smiled: "How about it, are you scared? Honestly, if you don't accept treatment, you really will forget a lot of things."
I nodded: "Okay, then you treat me! By the way..." I seemed to have thought of something, but suddenly didn't know what it was after all, and got stuck halfway through speaking.
The doctor said: "Is it that you want to ask your grandson Sun Henglian? You tell me, is he the one who ambushed you?"
I thought for a moment and nodded, saying: "It's possible. But I still can't be sure. At the time... but..." My memory is really problematic, and when I got to this point, I got stuck again and didn't know how to continue.
The doctor helped me and said, "It was like this, at that time you were unconscious next to the safe, but Sun Heng didn't know where he went. When your comrade sent you to the fourth floor, they had already informed your leader, I think by now they are searching for Sun Heng's whereabouts."
I nodded, as if recalling something: "At the time we were checking the gene medicine next to the safe, did you find that the gene medicine was... taken away? Or... or is..."
The doctor said helplessly: "I don't know either, these are not things I can control. If you want to know, you can ask your girlfriend yourself later. I think she knows about these things."
"I said in confusion: 'My girlfriend? Who is that?'"
The doctor smiled and said: "You don't even remember this? It seems that you have really lost a lot of memory. I'll give you another test later to see how much you've forgotten."
I smiled: "Then trouble you."
The doctor left, leaving me alone in this fourth-floor ward with a drip still hanging. The ward I was in was a single room and quite spacious.
I closed my eyes and tried hard to recall things from before, but they were all just fragments, unable to fully remember anything.
I thought for a while and felt like my head was going to split open, so I quickly stopped and only then did I feel a bit better.
At this time, I heard a concerned voice: "How are you? Are you okay?"
As I opened my eyes, I saw Chen Jing looking at me with a worried face. I still recognized Chen Jing at a glance, although I felt that we didn't have much of a close relationship either. So I said: "Headache."
Chen Jing came forward and took a look at me, saying: "You've been beaten by someone, the wound is on your head, so it's bound to hurt."
I waved my hand: "No... I mean, when I think about things, I get a headache... not that the wound hurts. By the way, are you Chen Jing? We seem to be very familiar, why do I remember your name as soon as I see you?"
Chen Jing looked at me with a somewhat strange expression, then very naturally said: "I am your girlfriend, don't you think we are quite familiar?"
I was shocked: "You're my girlfriend?! Then... how come I don't remember that?! Did I get hurt so badly that I even forgot you're my girlfriend?!"
Chen Jing said somewhat angrily: "Don't you still remember my name? How could you forget that I'm your girlfriend?"
I felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said to Chen Jing: "Sorry, I was a bit confused, I... I will remember that you are my girlfriend."
Chen Jing smiled, very gently and intimately: "That's good. I knew you wouldn't forget me. By the way, are you hungry? If you want to eat something, just tell me, I'll go buy it for you."
I thought for a moment and shook my head vaguely: "I don't know what I want to eat either... why don't you decide, after all, you're going to eat too, let's just eat together."
Chen Jing was still smiling: "I've eaten, you're a patient now, need to supplement nutrition, so you should eat something nutritious. I'll go get food for you, wait for me, but don't run around alone."
I feel that apart from a slight headache, I don't have any other problems with my body, so I said: "Let's wait for a while. Let me finish getting the injection and then we can go eat together."
Chen Jing turned around and looked at me, saying in a low voice: "The doctor doesn't allow you to go out, so just stay in the ward and rest well, I'll go get food for you."
I felt her expression was somewhat off, but I didn't dare ask more, so I smiled and said: "Then trouble you..."
I've lost my memory, but only partially. I don't remember having a girlfriend named Chen Jing, nor do I recall ever having a real girlfriend in the first place. As for this seemingly out-of-nowhere girlfriend of mine, I'm quite perplexed. So I just pretend to not remember anything, anyway Chen Jing is pretty and I kind of enjoy the feeling of being with her.
I quietly waited for Chen Jing to bring me food, my mind still constantly thinking about past things. When I thought of some things that I seemed to remember but couldn't quite recall, my head would hurt a lot, forcing me to stop and continue thinking about it.
There's a question in my mind, which is that I don't know why I was ambushed. Sun Heng wouldn't ambush me, this I'm very clear about. Although at the time in the room where the safe was being opened there were only two people, Sun Heng and me, but I still firmly believe this.
Also, why did Chen Jing pretend to be my girlfriend? I vaguely remember that she didn't seem to like me, so how could she suddenly claim to be my girlfriend? This is also something I don't understand.
There are still many people and things in my mind that are not very clear, but none of them make me feel uneasy like these two things do. I also urgently want to figure out these two things.
Chen Jing quickly returned to the ward, her hands still holding a military-style meal tray, with many dishes inside. I took a look, there was meat and fish, vegetables and fruit, as well as a small bowl of soup, plus a large bowl of rice.
The food is sumptuous and it makes me feel extremely hungry. So I took the plate without hesitation and started eating, wishing to finish all the food at once.
Chen Jing quietly watched me eat, without saying a word.
After I finished eating, I handed her the plate and said, "Are you really my girlfriend?"
Chen Jing nodded and said softly: "I'm your girlfriend, how about it? Are you full?"
I nodded: "I'm full. The meal you cooked is really delicious."
Chen Jing's face turned red and she said in a low voice: "It wasn't me who did it, it was our school cafeteria's chef who made it."
I suddenly realized: "I said, how did you do so much in such a short time? Hehe... thank you too, I haven't had such delicious food for a long time. By the way, if you were my girlfriend, wouldn't we be together often? What I mean is - do you know what things I've forgotten?"
Chen Jing was taken aback, then smiled and said: "I'll find time to tell you everything I know... The doctor also said that you're just temporarily suffering from amnesia, maybe after a few days you'll be fine."
I glanced at Chen Jing and suddenly smiled: "You're so beautiful! How did I manage to chase you? You're so beautiful, aren't there many people chasing after you? How... how could you have taken a liking to me?"
Chen looked at me quietly, suddenly let out a soft sigh, and said in a low voice: "We met in the army, I didn't have a boyfriend back then... You liked me and kept pursuing me, so I... I agreed to be your girlfriend. Do you remember? Is what I'm saying true?"
I thought back carefully and suddenly shook my head saying: "No, you seem..."
Chen Jing felt a bit nervous and hastily asked me: "What's wrong with me?"
I closed my eyes and thought for a long time before opening them again to say, "You seem like my girlfriend, I recall... but I still can't figure it out, when exactly did you agree to be mine? Tell me about what's going on between us, okay?"
Chen Jing was taken aback again, and then said: "Your injury is not healed yet, don't worry too much for now. When your injury gets a bit better, I will tell you everything about... what's between us."
I nodded and smiled: "Alright, then. Can I go out for a walk now? My shift is almost over, and there's nothing else to do today... There's really nothing else to do, right?"
Chen Jing nodded slightly with some difficulty: "Okay then. After you finish getting your shot, I'll accompany you for a walk."
I muttered to myself: "Isn't it just about accompanying me for a walk? Why make such a big deal out of it?"
The nurse came in and gave me an injection, telling me that I was free to move around in the afternoon. However, by evening, the doctor still needed to do some further checks on me, so the nurse asked me to stay on the fourth floor and wait for the doctor.
