Everyone's been reborn, who'd still want to join the army!

Chapter 2 My name is Lei Feng! [Please add to your favorites! Please continue reading!]

This is... a cheat code?

After a brief moment of shock, Chu Zhao pinched himself hard, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and finally looked at the watch in his palm again with trepidation and anticipation.

The light curtain still exists.

Furthermore, it can disappear or reappear according to Chu Zhao's will!

In an instant, Chu Zhao's heart was overwhelmed with intense joy!

After serving in the army for ten years and losing my life in a fire, it's finally my turn to enjoy the treatment of the protagonist!

With the protagonist's signature cheat ability, coupled with the knowledge Chu Zhao accumulated from reading countless online novels over the past decade, he truly deserves the title of "a vast world with great potential!"

And his cheat system doesn't seem to be a cheap, mass-produced thing like a "system panel"; it looks very high-end!

As for the specific functions... Chu Zhao has no time to study them yet.

Because he has more important things to do!

Put the watch on.

Chu Zhao rummaged around in his pocket and finally pulled out a crumpled twenty-yuan note.

That's enough!

Without any hesitation, Chu Zhao immediately headed towards the only lottery shop in the industrial park!

As a seasoned bookworm, Chu Zhao was certainly familiar with the plot of getting rich by buying lottery tickets after being reborn.

Most ordinary people would just smile knowingly and find it amusing when they see this kind of storyline; they would hardly bother to dig up past winning lottery numbers and painstakingly memorize them.

Unless you're a seasoned lottery player who's passionate about it, very few people can actually recite the winning numbers from previous years.

But Chu Zhao is different.

He wasn't a long-time lottery player, but he was bored!

Having served in the army for ten years, except for the few months during his basic training period, Chu Zhao had to stand guard almost every day, and each shift lasted for two hours!

Especially for those on the night shift, if you don't find something to do, you simply don't know how to pass the time during the long night!

And during those years when he was at his most energetic.

On a whim, Chu Zhao checked the winning numbers for the lottery he had won in the six months before he enlisted in the army and memorized them while on guard duty!

Now it can come in handy!

far away.

The lottery shop's highly recognizable signboard had already come into Chu Zhao's view.

Chu Zhao gripped the twenty yuan in his hand tightly and subconsciously quickened his pace.

By the time he walked out of the lottery shop, the brown banknotes had disappeared from his hand.

Instead, a lottery ticket that looks festive was displayed!

Chu Zhao bought ten tickets of the Double Color Ball lottery, each costing two yuan. He was guaranteed at least fifty million yuan in prize money!

When the lottery results are announced the day after tomorrow... Chu Zhao will have valuable start-up capital!

Right now, it's 2007, and housing prices are far from reaching their peak.

Chu Zhao only needs to use all the prize money to buy school district housing in Luzhou.

Then his 50 million will become hundreds of millions, or even billions, in the future!

A bright future of wealth lay ahead, beckoning Chu Zhao ever closer.

As for Chu Zhao's military life, which he had already experienced...

Hi!

If everyone gets reborn, who would still want to join the army?

However, if Chu Zhao were to bring up the fact that he didn't want to join the army now, he would definitely get a good beating.

But if Chu Zhao had tens of millions in cash... the situation would be completely different!

Yes! It's decided!

I'll confront Lao Chu when the lottery results are announced the day after tomorrow!

I carefully placed the lottery ticket into my inner pocket and put it away.

Not in a hurry to go home, Chu Zhao hummed a little tune as he admired the scenery of the residential area and imagined his wonderful future.

As the premier industrial park within the Jianghuai Province.

The scenery inside the Luzhou Industrial Park is quite beautiful. The residential area even has an artificial lake, and a large landscape park has been built around it.

Every evening, after get off work, workers would come to the park in groups to enjoy their own leisurely time.

However, today is a workday, and it's not time to leave work yet.

The huge park was almost deserted.

Looking around, Chu Zhao saw only a small, white figure, about six or seven years old, peeking out from the pavilion by the lake, watching the lake ducks swimming on the water.

The moment I saw the white figure.

The string in Chu Zhao's mind, etched with the mark of fire safety, instantly tightened, and he subconsciously quickened his pace.

But he was too late.

Seeing the lake ducks swimming near the pavilion, the small figure was no longer content with just watching from afar. Instead, she stood on a seat in the pavilion, reached out her hand, and wanted to touch the lake ducks that seemed so close.

The ducks scattered and fled, splashing up countless droplets of water.

The figure in the pavilion seemed to be startled as well, swaying back and forth on the seat before finally falling outwards uncontrollably.

With a "plop" sound as he fell into the water, a muffled cry for help immediately reached Chu Zhao's ears.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Chu Zhao ran quickly toward the pavilion, taking off his coat and shoes, and then plunged into the water.

His mind was blank; everything seemed to be driven by instinct.

The instinctive reaction shaped by ten years of military service.

But the moment he entered the water, Chu Zhao regretted it.

He used to be the squadron's "white streak in the waves".

But he's lived for eighteen years and has never been in the water!

A dull, sluggish feeling spread from every part of Chu Zhao's body, making his hands and feet somewhat unresponsive. He unexpectedly swallowed several large mouthfuls of water and thrashed about in the water like a landlubber.

If this continues, not only will the person not be saved, but Chu Zhao himself will also be in danger!

Realizing this, Chu Zhao felt as if time had slowed down.

In the past, he enjoyed reading time-travel novels.

But now, he is the person on this planet who least wants "parallel worlds" to exist.

Because he knew it very well.

He is dead in another world.

If so-called "parallel worlds" really exist, Old Chu, who is waiting for him to retire from the military, will never see his son again, the one who could talk and laugh, and who, even as a squad leader, still acted like a child when he came home on leave.

All he could see was a box covered with the national flag.

Old Chu must be crying his eyes out, right?

Thinking about it carefully, Chu Zhao had never actually seen Chu Weiguo shed tears before.

If possible, Chu Zhao hoped that he would never, ever see this scene again.

Having finally been given a second chance at life, and preparing to give Old Chu a better life, he couldn't possibly lose his life here!

A strong will to survive made Chu Zhao's limbs no longer stiff.

Those memories etched deep in his soul gradually surfaced, allowing him to rediscover the feeling of swimming.

"call!"

Chu Zhao kicked his legs desperately and finally managed to get his head above water, breathing the air he had been longing for.

Not far away.

The cries for help had faded away, leaving only a few faint splashes of water.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Zhao ultimately did not choose to go ashore, but instead swam towards the pavilion without hesitation.

However, his speed is not as fast as it used to be.

"Damn it! Going to school is such a waste of time!"

"Why didn't you train more before?"

Cursing under his breath, Chu Zhao mustered all his strength to increase his speed and finally swam to the vicinity before the splash completely disappeared.

He is now only grateful that the person who fell into the water was a child.

If he were an adult, given his current physical condition, he might not be able to bring the other person ashore.

Without a second thought, Chu Zhao's left hand precisely slipped under the other person's armpit and firmly gripped the other armpit.

This is the most standard rescue towing posture.

Not only can it ensure that the drowning person's mouth and nose remain above water, but it can also prevent the person on the other side from instinctively struggling and clinging to Chu Zhao.

Inevitable.

Because of the change in posture, Chu Zhao choked on several mouthfuls of water.

But his left hand still held the other person tightly, and only one thought remained in his mind.

Help! Help!

Chu Zhao's physical strength has now reached its limit.

That agonizing feeling of stagnation returned, and my chest ached like it was being pricked with needles from the frequent choking on water.

His vision gradually darkened, and he could only swim desperately toward the shore based on his vague impressions.

When Chu Zhao's feet finally touched the mud at the bottom of the lake, he suddenly felt as if he had been "born again".

"Huff...huff...huff..."

Chu Zhao greedily gulped in air, while staggering as he dragged the brat ashore.

"Help! Someone help!"

Call 120!

I endured the pain in my chest.

Chu Zhao used all his strength to roar desperately.

Meanwhile, his hands were not idle either; he immediately felt for the other person's carotid artery.

until now.

Chu Zhao then noticed that the other person had long, light golden hair.

He had no time to think about why a foreign girl would go to the park in Luzhou Industrial Park.

The unresponsive touch at his fingertips made Chu Zhao's heart sink heavily.

Cardiac arrest.

The training process from before immediately flashed through his mind.

He roared twice more, trying to seek help.

Chu Zhao lifted the girl's chin, and after confirming that there were no foreign objects in her mouth, he took a deep breath and tried to send air into her lungs.

Throughout the entire process, Chu Zhao kept his eyes fixed on the girl's chest.

Chu Zhao only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the girl's chest rise slightly with artificial respiration.

The airway is open!

Then there's still hope!

After another artificial respiration, Chu Zhao immediately began CPR, roaring continuously.

"Help! Help!"

"Help! Call 120!"

Finally, Chu Zhao received a response.

A series of hurried footsteps came from behind. Chu Zhao didn't even have time to turn his head before he roared.

"Call 120! Someone is drowning!"

In his mind, however, he was silently counting the number of times his heart and lungs regenerated.

28...29...30!

After one round of CPR, Chu Zhao bent down and performed two more artificial respirations.

Completely absorbed in saving lives, Chu Zhao did not see the figure in the executive jacket rushing over in a panic. Upon seeing the girl's white dress, his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

soon.

More and more people arrived near the pavilion.

Just like the previous person.

Upon seeing the girl's white dress, they all showed expressions of either fear or panic.

Chu Zhao was unaware of all this.

He simply stared intently at the girl's chest, continuously repeating the emergency procedure in a rhythm of "two artificial respirations followed by thirty CPRs."

Sweat mixed with lake water dripped from Chu Zhao's forehead.

His arms had begun to tremble, and were filled with an indescribable soreness, making each CPR Chu Zhao perform require all his strength.

But he dared not stop, nor could he stop!

Ten years of military service.

He has done countless cardiopulmonary resuscitation training sessions.

But never once was it involving a girl who was about to die and was not even ten years old!

Chu Zhao understood the preciousness of life better than anyone else.

That's why I don't want this tender life to perish under my own hands!

at last!

After countless CPR attempts, Chu Zhao finally felt a faint resistance coming from the other person's chest.

The girl also made very muffled gurgling sounds in her throat.

Chu Zhao suddenly raised his head and stared intently at her face.

Under Chu Zhao's gaze, the girl's chest rose and fell once again, followed by a heart-wrenching cough!

"Cough, cough cough cough!"

at the same time.

The sound of an ambulance siren could be heard in the distance, growing clearer to Chu Zhao's ears.

"Haha, hahahaha!"

Chu Zhao smiled.

It was that triumphant laugh, proud of having defeated death!

Exhausted, he collapsed onto the lawn, watching as figures passed by, carrying the girl onto a stretcher and into an ambulance.

He closed his eyes, a faint smile still lingering on his lips.

"Young comrade...young comrade...?"

Chu Zhao did not open his eyes.

To be precise, he was too lazy to open his eyes.

What he needs most right now is rest.

Driven by his belief in saving lives, he temporarily suppressed his physical discomfort.

But as soon as he relaxed, the pain in his limbs surged up like a tidal wave.

A sharp pain shot through my arms, chest, and even calves; I had no idea where I had bumped myself.

But the other party was clearly not prepared to give up easily.

He called out Chu Zhao's name softly as he reached out and gently touched her.

"Xiao Tong..."

"Don't bother me!"

"I'm so tired right now!"

He opened his eyes with a look of impatience.

What came into view was a whole circle of figures, craning their necks to observe Chu Zhao's condition.

Seeing this, Chu Zhao was startled and immediately sat up, thinking to himself, "No wonder I didn't get any sunlight."

So you guys were the ones blocking the way!

Upon hearing Chu Zhao's reply, the group of middle-aged men, all dressed in business jackets, froze, clearly not expecting Chu Zhao to have such a bad temper!

But seeing Chu Zhao's arms still trembling uncontrollably, no one would bother arguing with Chu Zhao, who looked like just a big boy.

"Young comrade... thank you very much for what happened just now."

"On behalf of..."

Before the other person could finish speaking.

Chu Zhao then stood up unsteadily.

Seeing this, some people wanted to lend a hand, but Chu Zhao pushed them away.

"Why are you all crowding around me?"

"It wasn't me who fell into the water, go visit the patient!"

After saying that, Chu Zhao pushed aside the figure blocking his way, looked around the lawn, and spotted his coat.

Upon seeing the coat, Chu Zhao's heart tightened immediately. He quickly stepped forward and rummaged through the inner pocket to find the lottery tickets.

Seeing that the lottery ticket was safe and sound, Chu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his coat, and headed home.

"Young comrade..."

Seeing that the group was still chasing after her, Chu Zhao rolled her eyes and turned around to say something in an annoyed tone.

"Everyone, could you please stop following me?"

"No need for thanks or anything, I didn't go into the water to express my gratitude."

"I just want to go home and rest right now, please make way."

Upon hearing this, the people standing opposite looked at each other, their faces filled with utter bewilderment.

Finally, the middle-aged man, who appeared to be the oldest and stood in the center of the crowd, stepped forward and asked Chu Zhao in a kind tone.

"Young comrade, since you put it that way, we won't bother you any longer."

"But what's your name...you can at least tell us, right?"

Looking at the other person's face, which was about the same age as Old Chu's.

Chu Zhao let out a long breath, then turned around gracefully.

"My name is Lei Feng!"
