Chapter 37: Colds and Fevers
Kasia walked into the room with the last box of bullets and placed it in the corner to the left of the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć At this time, Carla had already brought out her sniper rifle, which had been disassembled into delicate parts and was being carefully wiped and maintained by her. No corner of each part was dropped, and the fine dust was all adhered to by the magnetic effect of the white cloth, and the slightest error was very fatal to the accuracy of the sniper rifle.
A sniper rifle with an effective range of three or four thousand meters, the slightest change will be magnified at this distance. The human body is not a large target in the sniper's eye, and the power of the bullet will also decay in a curve after being fired. Wind direction, gravity, wind speed, these are things that need to be calculated, and Kara herself has no way to decide what to change. But the accuracy of the sniper rifle itself is within a manageable range.
As long as it's something you can control, make sure it doesn't go wrong at the pinch. This is Kara's demanding belief.
The seemingly pervasive dust of the desert is her worst enemy, and Kara has complained about it many times during her travels. Today, I finally arrived in such a comfortable and clean environment, and the first thing to do is, of course, to maintain my firearms.
"You're so fond of sniper guns?" said Kasia, shaking her head at Kara's extremely serious face. The mission in the future will definitely be to fight in a variety of environments, but there are few places suitable for using sniper rifles.
If you have the opportunity to face the extreme weather in the future, the climate there will definitely be the enemy of all firearms. The more complicated things are, the more difficult it is to survive in them, and in the end, it is the bayonet sword hanging from his waist that is the companion who awaits his life.
"Of course, the high precision and long effective range of the sniper rifle can blow the enemy's head several kilometers away, which is not only safe, but also very efficient. After reassembling all the parts of the white cloth in front of her into a monstrous gun more than a meter in front of her, Kara pointed the muzzle of the gun at Kasia, who was sitting in front of her, and simulated the whistling sound of bullets shooting out of spiral pipes with tongues of fire and gunsmoke.
"And if there is a danger, and the distance between yourself and the target is at least a few hundred or a thousand meters, how much time can this be converted into thinking time for us surgeons?" or wrapped the gun in a black cloth sleeve, and then put it away with a cherished one, "The answer is many, many." ā
"Of course you can't understand the thoughts of people like us who love their lives. Kara sat back across from Kasia, her pale blue and pale gold eyes staring straight into his face, "Because I have so much fear of death, I've always chosen the safest tool for myself, and the sniper rifle is one of the best." ā
Kasia echoed the shadow of Kara who had been silent in the car, clutching the black cast-iron gun in her arms. The woman in front of her has a lot of past events in her heart that she doesn't know.
"Don't keep a straight face, I don't blame you for anything. Everyone must cherish their own life, and no one will take their life as a joke, no matter who he is. And in my case, it's just that the love is stronger. ā
"Understood?" Kara shook her hand in front of the eyes of Kasia, who was sitting upright.
Kasia blinked.
"It's like when you had a cold when you were a kid and then you had a high fever. Of course, the normal cold is just a runny nose, but if the body's reaction is too strong, then you have a fever. ā
"I don't know if this example is good or not, but that's what it means, you can't understand it. After all, I'm a girl who hasn't even experienced a cold or fever, and it's somewhat vague to talk about things I don't know or just listen to what others tell me. Kara danced a little, and suddenly she found herself talking and not knowing what to say about what she was talking about.
She saw that Cassia on the other side still had an indifferent face, and said, "Maybe you haven't experienced this either, have you?"
The words are somewhat joyful, but there is also a lot of gloom, which is like seeing the joy of the same kind, but there is a completely different feeling contained in it. This complex and contradictory emotion was clearly and strongly felt by Kasia.
"No, I had a fever when I was a child, and I was in the hospital at that time, and it took a few injections to get the reaction in my body to stop. I still remember the fear of injections at that time. Kasia showed a sincere expression on his face, "I really envy the care in your big family, not getting sick was a luxury for us at that time, after all, the white-clothed doctors in the hospital and the smell of potions that permeated the surroundings were terrifying things for every child, especially the dazzling needles under the lights." ā
As soon as he finished saying this, Kasia already regretted it in his heart, because the expression of Kara in front of him had completely changed, it was sadness and fear, and there was silence like the darkness of the deep sea.
The aura on Kara's body became different from that in the blink of an eye in front of Kasia.
He thought about what he said over and over again, not knowing where he had said something wrong. But in just a split second, Kasia felt that Kara had changed again, and her eyes had returned to their former sparkle.
"That's one of the benefits of being in a big family. Carla also blinked as Kasia, "After all, my father is also a post-stage surgeon, and I have inherited a little bit of his basic physical fitness." And the reaction after surgery is much smaller than that of ordinary people, which can be said to be a benefit of birth. When choosing a captain in the car that day, Leigh and Gustin revealed their identities in the twenty-three princes' families, and it was for this reason that they were selected. We are both surgeons, but because of our different foundations, our surgical process and growth are still a little faster than yours. ā
"Do you understand now?" Kara propped her face with her hands, the expression of a stupid student who had been taught by a good teacher for a long time.
"Understood. Kasia opened his mouth, a little panicked, even though he didn't understand anything, and the questions were piling up more and more. But Kara's smile was definitely polite, and he felt that if he continued, the whistling of a sniper rifle bullet bursting through his mouth that he often imitated would actually become a reality at some point.
"Let's eat first, I'm hungry too. Kasia smelled the scent wafting in from the door of the room, and David's old chef's skill was something to look forward to.
"Brother and sister, Dad told you to come over for dinner. The little girl of a few years old also ran over on the cold floor with bare feet at this time, and her face was childish that she didn't understand.
Carla suddenly seemed to be infected by the little girl, and in the eyes of Kasia, she was definitely very serious, and she also took off her shoes, revealing her soft and smooth feet to cool off on the cold ground.
"Ah, the desert is the enemy of my life. She threw her head back and shouted in Kasia's ear.
The two of them followed the little girl's steps step by step, the corridor was dyed with dim insect lights, and through the dark blue sky of the small garden on the right, you could see the various buildings of the brightly lit Gerun Oasis in front of them.
One of the giant towers adorned with lights stands on the edge of the Moon Lake in the center of the Gerun Oasis, and the highest searchlight is guiding those who have lost their way in the sand to find their way home, the tallest building.
"Tomorrow I'll have David go down there and have a look. Kara and Kasia walked side by side, their faces turned sideways in Kasia's ear.
Their mission has only just begun.
