I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 660: Trace of Silver Moon, Recruitment Trial (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The specific plan was to create a special instructor team and become the exclusive coach of the students and new soldiers.

Feng Qi found the selection direction of the instructor team in the plan surprising…

A month later.

At 11 p.m. in the East District of Star City.

It was drizzling, and the East District of Star City was still brightly lit in the middle of the night.

On the way home, the drunk Xiao Yu staggered and knocked over the trash can by the roadside before vomiting.

The trash can that had been knocked down stretched out two mechanical claws and automatically straightened itself. Then, it began to clean up Xiao Yu’s vomit.

Holding onto the smart trash can, Xiao Yu struggled to stand up. He staggered a few steps and almost fell again.

“Do you need help calling the rescue center?”

At this moment, the smart trash can suddenly asked.

“No need.” Xiao Yu rejected fiercely. Then, he took a step forward and fell to the ground again.

He fell hard this time, and his right leg ended up at an irregular angle, sprawled horizontally.

Due to the excessive movement, his pants were torn, revealing his metal prosthetic leg.

“I thought you might need help.”

“No need!” Xiao Yu struggled to stand up again.

Gazing at his prosthetic leg, Xiao Yu smiled self-deprecatingly.

It had been so many years, but he still couldn’t get over it.

The psychiatrist said it was called PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder.

The symptom was that the painful experience of the front line kept flashing in his mind, and he could not escape it.

The moment he closed his eyes, scenes from the past surfaced in his mind again.

After graduating from the Winter Academy, he joined the frontline supply area with his brother with hopes for the future of humanity.

In his life on the front line, he had experienced too many tragic moments.

The withering of life seemed to have happened in an instant. The brother who was joking with him a moment ago suddenly left.

The tragic scene in his mind kept flashing past. At this moment, Xiao Yu clenched his fists and his body started to tremble uncontrollably.

The scene of his brother being dismembered bit by bit by the domain creatures seemed to be right in front of him.

Helpless shouts assaulted his nerves.

“Ah!” As he roared, Xiao Yu suddenly punched the lamppost by the roadside.

The lamppost instantly bent under his power, and the bulb began to flicker.

[You have damaged a public facility. Activating the compensation mechanism. Verifying your identity information.]

At this moment, the smart trash can by the roadside issued a warning. Then, it released light and aimed it at Xiao Yu’s face.

[Your identity is Xiao Yu, a retired soldier at the front line. As you are the recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, you are exempted from the fine. Again, do you need help?]

“I said, there’s no need!” Xiao Yu opened his red eyes and roared at the smart trash can.

With that, he staggered towards home.

After so many years, he still could not get over that despair.

In the end, he was the only one who survived in the domain combat team he had established.

In the tragic battles, his wife, younger brother, and all his comrades perished.

He, the only survivor, had lost both his legs and installed a prosthetic leg.

When he woke up and learned of all this, he was eager to take revenge. He wanted to return to the front line and continue fighting until he died.

However, at this moment, he was told that he had to leave the army and could not go to the front line again.

He questioned the staff of the combat team headquarters. He had lost everything. What was the point of living? He might as well return to the front line and use his last strength.

Confronted with his question, the staff member at the combat team headquarters remained silent. They only proceeded with the discharge process for him in solemn silence.

After being sent back to Star City, he wanted to return to the front line more than once.

However, all applications were rejected.

He was a cripple; there was no point in living like this.

He had dedicated his entire life to the front line. His family had also died in battle at the front line, but he had to live the rest of his life in the main city.

The pain was unbearable.

He could only choose to drink to numb his nerves.

However, even though he was drunk, his experience at the front line was still vivid in his mind, like a nightmare that he could not get rid of.

After staggering dozens of feet forward, he held onto the lamppost by the roadside and could not help but vomit again.

The honor of a warrior was to die in battle.

This sentence was said by the captain when he first stepped into the front line.

At that moment, he thought those words were mere posturing. However, now he truly comprehended the significance behind them.

If he lived like this, he might as well die in battle.

However, when he thought about how the domain field that had killed his family and brothers had yet to be dispelled, hatred surged in his heart.

However, he knew that he would never be able to return to the front line.

Even if he bought a ticket to the front line, it would be forcibly canceled.

He knew that this was a protection for him.

But he didn’t need it at all.

After staggering for a while, he suddenly realized that there was a shop he had never seen before at the corner of the street.

Arriving at the entrance of the shop, Xiao Yu looked up.

“A virtual gaming room?”

Even though it was late at night, the shop was still open. There was a poster in front of the door.

There were a few background pictures of the front line on the poster. There were also words like “simulated battles” written on it.

A look of disdain appeared on Xiao Yu’s face when he saw the content.

In his opinion, this was just a gimmick for the game company to make money.

Just as he was about to leave, a recruitment notice under the poster caught his attention.
