Chapter 126 Worth it
Chapter 126 Worth it
Li Jie hasn't woken up yet.
Li Jie looked to be in his thirties. He should not be very thin, but because he had been hungry for too long, his face looked a little unrecognizable, and his skin was loose and rough.
Now Gao Yi is better at putting on makeup than most women, so even if he is a man, he has to get used to checking his skin.
This is an occupational disease.
In addition to bad skin, Li Jie also had many small wounds on his face, hands, and neck, and almost all of these wounds were inflamed.
Judging from his height, he should be around 1.80 meters. It’s hard to tell clearly when he’s lying down, but there shouldn’t be a big deviation.
Even after taking off all his clothes and cleaning and treating his wounds, Li Jie still smelled bad.
Gao Yi couldn't tell what the smell was until Lin Xianghua told him it was the stench of a corpse.
"Wake him up."
Gao Yi gave an order, and the nurse next to him pushed a needle of unknown liquid into the infusion tube. Then about a minute later, Li Jie, who was in a coma, suddenly moved his eyes.
His eyes struggled to open, and then Li Jie suddenly tried to sit up, but just as his head was about to move forward, Derek put his hand on his shoulder.
We all have experience and know that you should not let the injured person do strenuous activities after waking up for the first time, so be prepared in advance.
Li Jie was pressed on the bed. Derek said sternly, "Don't move! Calm down!"
Those scenes in movies where the wounded or soldiers coming back from the battlefield speak sweetly are all nonsense. Especially for soldiers who have been prisoners or hostages for a long time, gentle words are useless. How can the brain and nerves that have been in a tense state react?
So you have to be strict and loud so that people who have formed a conditioned reflex can calm down instantly.
Although this calmness was frightened.
Li Jie really didn't move. He opened his eyes and stared at Derek blankly.
Derek let go of his hand, patted Li Jie on the shoulder, and said gently: "You are saved! You are safe, it's okay, relax, relax."
Li Jie really relaxed his tense muscles, and Derek took two steps back. At this time, Gao Yi stepped forward and said, "Hello."
Li Jie turned his head and looked at Gao Yi with a confused look in his eyes. Then he suddenly said, "You saved me. Yes, I got out..."
Li Jie let out a long breath and closed his eyes again. After a long while, he opened his eyes again and said to Gao Yi: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
"Why did you save me?"
Li Jie looked at Gao Yi and said seriously, "We don't seem to know each other, and I don't know anyone in the army, so... why did you save me?"
"Because you can make a gun."
Gao Yi was straightforward. He extended his hand and said, "I know your teacher. He recommended you to me. I wanted to make the most powerful gun, and then it was just by chance that I saved you."
After saying that, Gao Yi smiled and said, "You really have to thank me. I put a lot of effort into finding you."
Li Jie just stared at Gao Yi and asked, "Just because of this?"
"Yes, that's why. However, after hearing other people's comments about you, I think it's my duty to save you, or you deserve to be saved."
Gao Yi finished speaking with a smile, and said: "What did you encounter later? How did you become..."
Li Jie's eyes suddenly widened, he swallowed and said, "Don't ask, don't ask."
"Uh, okay, I won't ask anymore." Li Jie said anxiously, "Can you give me a bottle of Coke, cold? Give me a bottle of Coke, cold."
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he waved at Lin Xianghua.
Li Jie kept licking his lips, although his lips were not chapped at the moment.
Lin Xianghua went out and bought a can of Coke from the vending machine. After bringing it in, he did not give it directly to Li Jie, but gave it to Gao Yi.
Gao Yi opened the pull ring of the can and handed it to Li Jie. Li Jie sat up from the hospital bed, took the Coke and took a sip impatiently.
In fact, Li Jie was no longer dehydrated at this time. His eagerness to drink water was not a physical need, but a psychological need.
After taking a sip, Li Jie found that he was not as thirsty as he had imagined, so he paused for a moment, but soon, he held the can and did not put it down, and gulped down the whole can of Coke.
After drinking, Li Jie burped, then he put down his hands, but immediately lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders and began to cry.
Gao Yi had experienced the feeling of being near death, but he could not understand what Li Jie, who had just been rescued, was thinking at this moment, because their experiences were different.
Derek was a medic, he knew more about this aspect, so when he saw Li Jie sobbing silently, he said gently: "It's over, it's all over, don't think about it, just cry, cry out loud, cry loudly."
It seemed a bit awkward, but Gao Yi secretly observed and found that everyone in the ward except him had a solemn expression.
Li Jie suddenly burst into tears. He sobbed and said, "I told her that she could drink Coke if she went out. I said I would definitely treat her to a Coke..."
He didn't know who she was or how old she was, but Gao Yi knew that she must be dead.
Li Jie just said one sentence, and then he stopped crying and just covered his face and cried loudly.
After crying for about five minutes, Li Jie suddenly fell back heavily and lay on the hospital bed again, then he covered his face with the quilt.
He covered his head and refused to come out. Then Li Jie said in a muffled voice: "If you want to make a gun, what kind of gun do you want to make?"
Gao Yi's spirits lifted, and he said, "Make a good gun, make a..."
"What specific guns do you want and what your needs are."
"It's just... a gun that can be used accurately in actual combat, and that is fast and accurate."
Li Jie sighed and said, "It's simple. Anyone can do it. What is the purpose? Competition or actual combat."
"Actual combat!"
"What is the usage scenario? What is the environment like? What are the size requirements? Are the reliability requirements high? What is the ammunition capacity? What is the trigger strength? Tell me all your requirements. Don't be vague."
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Uh, that's the kind that can turn people into sharpshooters."
Li Jie lifted the quilt and looked at Gao Yi helplessly, "Specific requirements, specific requirements! Are you bringing it to the battlefield for actual combat? Are you going to use it in Baghdad?"
Gao Yi shook his head and said, "I just carry it with me. When something happens, I pull it out and fight. I won't take it to the battlefield, but it could be anywhere."
"You must be a rookie. You can't even come up with a practical scenario. You definitely can't use a gun."
Li Jie saw through Gao Yi's true nature at a glance, but he immediately said confidently: "But you can rest assured, leave everything to me. As long as you can pull the trigger, I can give you a good gun. Just wait and see how you shoot."
Gao Yi was overjoyed.
It's worth it, just based on Li Jie's words, just based on his confidence, all the effort spent on him is worth it.
