She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1946: Chapter 92: Life-and-Death Training

The primordial forest at the border is fraught with danger, not only from nature but also from scattered mercenaries and small armed forces from the Southern Border.

These forces are intertwined in this no-man’s-land, sparking conflicts that have long made the area notorious.

This summer, the hottest season of the year, the two have been out for more than half a year, far exceeding their initial expectations. Afraid of upsetting Gu Yunbo, Gao Jinglin never mentioned returning home.

Moreover, he thought that as a man, it would be too embarrassing to leave home only to keep thinking about going back. Since entering here, they have clashed with various forces several times, with life-and-death experiences being the most vivid.

If anyone still follows them now, Gao Jinglin is confident that he could spot them first and either shake them off or eliminate them.

"Don’t be afraid of killing; you’ll kill many more people in the future." With a machine gun freshly taken from the mercenaries, Gu Yunbo carefully treaded through the leaf-covered woods.

In the recent battle, they took out four mercenaries. Gao Jinglin got one, Gu Yunbo got three. She intended to train him, planning to leave all four for him, but Gao Jinglin’s performance was still less than satisfactory.

Perhaps it was his first time shooting someone, unable to overcome that mental hurdle.

"I brought you here to get you accustomed," she said. With 1978 approaching, there was little time left. The life-and-death battle among three nations’ soldiers in 1978 and the Southern Border War from 1979 to 1980.

This is the last war of the century. Being a soldier, encountering it is both fortunate and unfortunate.

She didn’t want Gao Jinglin to be one of the unfortunate ones, and even less for Meng Fan to succeed in unfortunate outcomes.

Gao Jinglin pursed his lips, "Sorry, Sister Bo."

"It’s okay, you’ve performed excellently." She repeated, Gao Jinglin wasn’t as delicate as she had expected.

"It’s my fault you got hurt." If he hadn’t hesitated a moment ago, Sister Bo wouldn’t have been shot in the arm. Luckily, the bullet passed through her arm; what if it had hit her body?

This thought made Gao Jinglin feel a chill, as if he were plunged into an ice cellar.

"Remember, if you don’t act, you’ll ultimately harm yourself and your comrades." Gu Yunbo took a rest on a large stone, tired from walking. This place is full of swamps, where one could easily be swallowed if not careful.

"I understand." The young man’s eyes were reddened, clearly heavily impacted by what had happened.

"You need to get used to it." Gu Yunbo glanced at him impatiently, "Can you put your emotions away? I’m fine, but your eyes are red, someone might think I bullied you."

"Sister Bo, you did bully me all the way here!" Gao Jinglin straightened his clothes, "Look, this bruise is from you kicking me last time, and this swelling is from you hitting me with the gun butt..."

"Stop!" Gu Yunbo’s face changed as she gestured for silence, concentrating intensely on their surroundings.

Gao Jinglin also braced himself and observed cautiously. Suddenly, he sniffed and whispered, "Sister Bo, do you smell blood?" His nose was very sensitive, something Gu Yunbo couldn’t match.

"Which direction?"

"Ten o’clock direction."

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

The two moved swiftly in single file towards the ten o’clock direction, where the scent of blood grew stronger, almost overpowering. On the ground lay scattered bodies and scattered magazines.

Clearly, a fierce battle just took place here, and by the direction of the wild grass, it appears a group has left.
