Chapter 31 Healing the Imperial General 3
Each batch of trainees who are training on the desolate planet is equipped with ten training instructors who are responsible for receiving students who wish to withdraw from the training.
Xing Jian was somewhat puzzled by Xing Zhanye's sudden appearance, and tilted his head to look at Xing Zhanye who appeared in front of him.
As if sensing Xing Jian's confusion, Xing Zhanye stated his purpose. "Your communicator hasn't responded yet, and the base is worried something might have happened to you, so I came to check on you."
It turned out to be because of this incident. Xing Jian put the communicator originally belonging to No. 79 back to its original place, fearing that the student would encounter real danger. After all, he just wanted to borrow his identity to get close to Xing Zhanye.
"Instructor Xing, I'm fine. I accidentally lost my communicator." Xing Jian smiled. Wearing a deer antler hat, Xing Jian looked as lively as a real deer in Xing Zhanye's eyes.
Suppressing the sudden throbbing in his heart, Xing Zhanye turned around and said, "Since everything is fine, I'll be leaving. Trainee No. 79, please remember the training rules. Anyone found violating them will be expelled."
After saying this, Xing Zhanye turned around and was about to leave. Seeing Xing Jian wanting to leave, he anxiously called out to Xing Zhanye.
"Instructor Xing, I'm applying for guardianship." As soon as Xing Jian said this, Xing Zhanye turned around in confusion and looked at Xing Jian with some puzzlement.
Practical training supervision is a unique application specific to the desolate planet. If a student feels that he cannot complete the practical training task, but still wants to stay for a full 100 days, he can apply for supervision. The accompanying instructor will assist the student in the practical training, but the results will be invalid.
Seeing this student who clearly had the ability to complete the training applying for guardianship, Xing Zhanye asked again, "Student No. 79, are you sure you want guardianship?"
Looking at this student who was clearly capable but not working hard, Xing Zhanye felt inexplicably annoyed. If he really chose to supervise him, he would be the supervisor of this student. Thinking of this, Xing Zhanye inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation.
"I'm sure, Instructor Xing, I'm not feeling well and can't continue the training, but I want to stay and see what the legendary desolate planet looks like." Xing Jian stood up straight and looked at Xing Zhanye with a particularly bright look in his eyes.
Looking at the extremely energetic child in front of him, Xing Zhanye rarely failed to inform the other people in the base about the supervision immediately. He always felt that the child in front of him should not be like this.
Xing Zhanye thought for a moment before sending Ma Xiangqian the news that he would be staying outside the desolate planet for a few days, but Xing Zhanye soon realized that the little guy in front of him was not lying to him.
The two figures left two long shadows dragging on the ground under the setting sun. Xing Jian told Xing Zhanye about his experience on the desolate planet in an excited tone.
Maybe it was because he hadn't had anyone to chat with in the lab for too long, or maybe it was because he hadn't seen the person in front of him for too long, Xingjian was particularly excited.
Xing Zhanye listened patiently to Xing Jian's story. Even though the things he described were very ordinary and common, they became particularly novel under Xing Jian's description. Looking at the child in front of him, Xing Zhanye inexplicably thought of his past self. When he came out of the slums and arrived at the desolate planet for the first time, he was as excited as the child in front of him.
Taking Xing Zhanye all the way to a small cave he had found a few days ago, Xing Jian finally shut up his chatterbox and walked deep into the cave. He placed the wild fruits he had picked a few days ago in Xing Zhanye's hand like offering a treasure.
"Instructor Xing, eat this quickly. I picked these a while ago. Tomorrow, please go hunting with me." Xing Jian stuffed the larger fruit in his hand into Xing Zhanye's palm and put the smaller fruit into his mouth.
However, after Xing Jian had eaten the small fruit, Xing Zhanye stuffed the big fruit into Xing Jian's mouth as well.
Looking at the fruit stuffed into his mouth, Xing Jian took a bite and said to Xing Zhanye while chewing, "Instructor Xing, aren't you hungry? Or do you not like it? How about I go out and find you some other fruit?"
Seeing Xing Jian about to stand up, Xing Zhanye grabbed his hand, but suddenly let go as if burned. "I'm not hungry. Don't go out so late."
After saying this, Xing Zhanye lowered his head. Xing Jian couldn't see the man's face, but the exposed red tips of his ears revealed Xing Zhanye's mood.
Looking at the shy Xing Zhanye, Xing Jian felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart. Since he was not going out, Xing Jian turned around and gave Xing Zhanye a piece of the deerskin he had hunted a few days ago.
At night, it was still extremely cold even when sleeping next to the fire. In the past, Xing Jian was always wrapped in two animal skins, but if Xing Zhanye was here today, the heat exhaled by one more person should make the entire cave warmer.
Thinking of this, the two of them gradually felt sleepy by the fire. Xingjian was the first to fall asleep. A whole day's work made him particularly tired. The moment he put on the deerskin, his eyelids began to twitch.
Watching the child in front of him fall asleep completely and listening to the child's breathing, Xing Zhanye gradually felt sleepy as well.
The whistling wind of midnight swirled the embers of the fire and Xing Jian's spine suddenly made a crisp sound of dislocation. Xing Zhanye, who had always had a keen hearing, was awakened by a few low cries of pain. Looking at Xing Jian curled up into a ball beside the fire, Xing Zhanye instantly woke up and hugged Xing Jian, who had wrapped himself up like a ball, in his arms.
The child's face had an abnormal blush, and even wrapped in deerskin, his body was still extremely cold. Xing Zhanye quickly wrapped his own deerskin around Xing Jian. Only then did he realize that the child was not wearing the cold-proof shirt that the academy had customized for trainees. No wonder he was so cold.
"Wake up, No. 79, wake up." Xing Zhanye's voice was filled with a certain nervousness that he himself was not aware of.
Number 79? Xing Jian, awakened by Xing Zhanye, opened his eyes. The intense pain of being a test subject had left him somewhat confused. As test subject number X, Xing Jian's genetic makeup was unstable. For now, he still had to endure excruciating pain every night.
In the laboratory, those guys in protective suits would inject themselves with large doses of sedatives to get through such pain, but unfortunately, these don't exist on the deserted planet.
"I... I'm fine, it's a genetic disease..." Xingjian quickly found an excuse for himself, but just saying these few words had pushed Xingjian's body's endurance to its limit.
From Xing Jian's few words, Xing Zhanye finally understood why No. 79 applied for guardianship.
Genetic diseases are gene mutation diseases caused by cosmic rays. This disease is almost impossible to cure with the current medical level. Genetic diseases are extremely painful. In the Alliance Empire, where the average life expectancy is 300 years, the average life expectancy of patients with genetic diseases is only 30 years.
