Shi Ling did not notice that Xila was paying attention to her and Yan Wang was secretly protecting her.

At this moment, she heard the whistling of the wind, and the distorted and dazzling lights around her gradually dimmed and faded.

Standing in the void outside of time, Shi Ling saw everything that happened after Zhao Xingbang returned.

At midnight, across the wilderness, fireflies flickered like flickering flames. A steam train whirred past on the distant railway, while fierce fighting was going on in the trenches here.

"Charge, comrades, there is light ahead!"

This is the company commander's voice!

Zhao Xingbang woke up and felt a dull pain in his shoulder. He reached out and touched it. It was the place where he had been shot. There was still blood on his clothes, but the wound had healed.

Wasn't that prosperous era just a dream of his?

The fierce fighting and charge ahead made Zhao Xingbang unable to think too much. He quickly grabbed his gun and rushed forward. The enemy machine gun fired, and he fell to the ground and hid in the trench next to the company commander.

The company commander saw him and slapped him on the shoulder, "Bangzi, you're not dead?"

Zhao Xingbang groaned in pain.

Only then did the company commander notice that there was a hole on his worn military uniform, which was covered in dust and blood. It was where Zhao Xingbang had just been shot.

"I'm fine." Zhao Xingbang recalled everything he had experienced in his dream and excitedly said to the company commander, "Company commander, we will win in three years!"

The company commander's dark face froze in shock. He lay down to avoid the enemy's fire and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Bangzi, how could you be dreaming in broad daylight? Your dreams are even more beautiful than mine. Last time I dreamed that in ten years we could drive these bandits away."

Zhao Xingbang said anxiously, "It's true. Captain, I even saw a color movie."

"Hahaha, how can there be color movies? Aren't they all black and white? Wait, if you want to see a movie, I'll take you guys to see it later." The company commander patted him on the shoulder, then held his gun and bravely fought the enemy.

"Not now, but there will be later. Captain, I'll take you to see it later!"

"Okay, hahaha! Kill these devils first!"

During the close-range combat, Zhao Xingbang suddenly saw that the enemy's bayonet was about to launch a sneak attack on the company commander.

He immediately raised his gun, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly remembered that he had used up the last bullet before he was shot!

Zhao Xingbang broke out in a cold sweat. Just as the company commander was about to be stabbed, the pistol unexpectedly fired a shot, hitting the enemy's forehead.

The company commander was also shocked and kicked the enemy's corpse aside. "What a sneak attack! Bangzi, good job!"

Zhao Xingbang chuckled and fought bravely with his company commander and comrades.

However, this small battle ultimately ended in being outnumbered.

"Company Commander!"

When Zhao Xingbang saw the company commander fall down after being shot, his eyes were about to burst.

Shi Ling also moved, but at this moment, she was unable to intervene in what was happening and could only watch indifferently from outside the water and fire.

"Captain, hold on a little longer, we will win soon!"

"You said you would take us to the movies!"

Zhao Xingbang's tears were streaming down his face and his eyes were red.

The company commander's teeth were stained red, blood was flowing, but a smile was on his dark face. He stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Xingbang on the shoulder, his eyes full of light, "Bangzi... I haven't seen a color movie yet, can you help me watch more."

"Captain, hold on a little longer, reinforcements will be here soon. Don't sleep. I promise you that after we win, I will treat you to a color movie. Although some of it looks fake, it's still pretty..." He wanted to laugh, but tears kept falling. He kept reaching out to cover the blood on the captain's chest, but he couldn't stop it.

The captain slowly closed his eyes, his voice very hoarse, without much strength, "Bongzi, your dream is so beautiful. I, ahem... never dared to have such a beautiful dream before."

After the explosion, the horn sounded and the red flag fluttered in the wind like a picture.

The morning light was dim in the distance, the roosters crowed and the sun rose, but someone collapsed before dawn.

Once upon a time, they were cautious even in their dreams.

Good night~

I like that kind of collective heroism. (End of this chapter)
