Chapter 1: John Hardy

While charging forward with his team, he was unfortunately struck by a bullet that pierced through his chest

After a long time, I finally accepted my identity

These items are truly a perfect match

Now that I think about it, isn't this the plot of "Atlantic City Empire"

white hat

Yesterday, during a practice session with Garcia, he took only three minutes to incapacitate that guy, leaving him with bruised eyes and blood at the corner of his mouth

Hadi has become the strongest boxer in the gym. The coach advised Hadi to focus on boxing, as he may become the best boxer in the United States in the future, which would also allow him to earn a substantial amount of money

Many soldiers suffering from combat trauma have returned from the battlefield

Hadi lives a stable life, yet the world does not stand still; it advances vigorously, with countless significant events occurring every day

During the subsequent month of treatment, Hardy spent half a month at the hotel with Catherine

There was even an occasion when, while serving as a sparring partner, I accidentally had a rib broken by Garcia, the strongest boxer in the gym, yet I was basically recovered in just three days

Jon Hardy was born in 1921, is currently 24 years old, has no parents, possesses only a secondary education, and has served in the military for five years, participating in multiple battles, which has shaped his tough character

Hadi thought for a moment and ultimately declined

He has made up his mind to retire

There will be another wave of nurses to replace them

Sergeant Hadi, your injuries have fully healed, and the military is preparing to arrange for your return to duty.

The ship is filled with wounded soldiers, and the nurses are extremely busy every day, which makes them very fatigued. Hardy has recovered quite a bit and can help Catherine when there is nothing else to do

After more than two months of training, Hadi's physical fitness, endurance, resistance to strikes, and combat awareness have all been significantly enhanced

Half a month later, the ship crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived at the port of Hawaii, where all the injured disembarked, including the nurses on board

The nurse in charge of Hardy is named Catherine. Among the dozens of nurses on the ship, Catherine is the youngest and most beautiful one

Hadi once saw someone online say that intimacy is the best remedy for healing emotional wounds, and now he believes it

A bullet hitting the body will still cause bleeding, and being shot in the head will certainly result in death

A few days later, the medical ship was filled with wounded soldiers and set sail back to the port of Hawaii. Hardy discovered something: although his injuries were originally considered quite serious, his recovery was unusually rapid.

His marksmanship has always been commendable, and the battlefield has honed his exceptional combat qualities; he primarily practices quick-draw techniques

The wound scabbed over in two days

Two souls are separated by a full century

Hadi underwent a physical examination at the hospital, and the doctor found that he had fully recovered. However, the doctor did not pay much attention to him, as there were too many injured patients and he lacked the energy to focus specifically on Hadi.

The soul of Huaxia originates from the modern year 2021

Afterwards, Catherine lay in the man's arms, stroking the gun scar on his firm chest. She told Hardy that she had thought he was the most handsome on the ship

The surrender document was signed on September 2, marking the end of World War II

The ship is filled with surgeons, who are not adept at handling Hardy's condition, and it is suspected that he may be suffering from a mental illness

Hospitalized for one month for psychological treatment

in the mirror

However, these have nothing to do with Hardy

Currently, the two souls have not fully merged, and the two streams of memory are constantly interacting, which sometimes leaves Hardy feeling disoriented and quite uncomfortable

The cruise arrived in Los Angeles, and I took a bus back to my hometown in Orange County, where I rented a small apartment room to settle down. A few days later, I found a job as a waiter in a tavern.

This world contains many things he is aware of, as well as numerous companies and celebrities he has never heard of

The man entered the hotel bathroom

But beautiful moments are always fleeting, on this day a second lieutenant officer found Hardy

In the newspaper, he also came across some reports, such as the one from a few days ago that reported on the grand wedding held by the head of the Mafia Corleone family, Godfather Vito Corleone, for his youngest daughter Connie

In the morning, Catherine went to work at the hospital, while Hardy lay in bed. After a night of dedicated treatment from the nurse, he felt that his symptoms of mental confusion had improved significantly

His working hours are from 3 PM to 11 PM, which gives Hardy plenty of time during the day

He has greater aspirations for the future and does not wish to be merely a boxer

There is a boxing gym near his home, and Hadi has registered; he will go to the gym to practice boxing in the morning

The doctor provided him with several sedative pills and issued a referral for tests, advising Hardy to undergo a thorough examination at the psychiatric department upon his arrival in Hawaii

He plans to settle down first, understand this world, and then speak further

The Battle of Iwo Jima, renowned as the most brutal battle in the Pacific theater, lasted from February 19, 1945, to March 26, 1945

During his time in the military, he met a guy from Texas who claimed to have won the county-organized quick-draw competition. After they became friends, he taught Hardy his most proficient gun-drawing skills

The man has a strong physique, six-pack abs, a V-shaped torso, powerful and muscular thighs, short black hair, and eyes that are not large but possess a deep intensity, naturally exuding an air of severity.

On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender

Catherine is a nurse, and a nurse's uniform is certainly indispensable

After dinner, the two took a stroll on the gentle beach, enjoying the soft sea breeze and the beautiful night scenery

I also occasionally practice shooting

A few days later, he received a meager few hundred dollars in veteran's benefits, along with a combat medal. He bid farewell to Catherine at the hotel and boarded the cruise ship back to Los Angeles the next day

It was somewhat late, and they did not return to the hospital, but naturally walked into the hotel, where they engaged in a pleasant and wonderful exchange on the bed

Hadi did not dare to speak to others, fearing being regarded as a monster; however, he suspected that this was his own benefit from the time travel.

Don Vito Corleone marrying off his daughter, isn't this a plot from the movie "The Godfather"? How could it appear here

Hadi immediately shook his head

On August 6, 1945, Little Boy exploded in Hiroshima, and on August 9, Fat Man exploded in Nagasaki

"Sergeant Hardy, I believe you will recover soon." Catherine said with a smile.

No inflammation

In battle, Sergeant Jon Hardy, belonging to the Marine Corps, displayed remarkable bravery by shooting down more than ten Japanese soldiers

Completely recovered in half a month

He is now just an ordinary American citizen, a worker in a tavern

Upon arriving in this time and space, Hadi initially hoped for the existence of a system as described in novels, but unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, it did not appear

Upon seeing this report, Hardy felt somewhat bewildered at that moment

Where to go from here, in fact, Hardy is somewhat confused at present

The federal court has charged Nuki Thompson with tax evasion, sentencing him to ten years in prison. Nuki Thompson is now incarcerated, causing several major factions in Atlantic City to disintegrate, leaving the future direction uncertain

He went to see a psychiatrist and reported that he was still feeling disoriented. The doctor issued him a certificate for post-traumatic stress disorder, and thus Hardy was discharged from the military

Training in a boxing gym inevitably leads to injuries, such as muscle strains, swollen eyes, and abrasions on the knuckles. These minor injuries can fully recover after a good night's sleep.

No wonder women would like it

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has once again filed a lawsuit against Chicago mob boss Al Capone, marking the seventh charge he has faced in his lifetime. It remains uncertain whether this time the Chicago underworld emperor will manage to escape unscathed.

Conclusion

He went to see a doctor, of course, he could not mention the matter of time travel, only asking how to alleviate his state of mental confusion

Catherine helped Hardy change his dressing, disinfecting the front and back wounds with iodine, applying sulfanilamide powder, and wrapping it with gauze, then assisting Hardy to lie down.

Hadi seriously suspects that he has crossed over into the world of film and television

For example, his body's recovery ability is ten times stronger than that of an average person

Thank you, nurse

Moreover, his sensitivity to a sense of crisis is significantly stronger than that of others, and he wonders if this is due to the fusion of two souls

Silk | Socks

The entire island was almost reduced to scorched earth

Moreover, the battlefield is merciless. Although he is currently recovering from his injuries much faster than others, it does not mean he is invulnerable to death

A slight grin, with a hint of roguishness in the smile

Through his observations over the past two months, he has discovered that this world is somewhat ambiguous, and many aspects do not align with the world he remembers

In the morning, I go for a run to practice my physical fitness

However, he also discovered that he had qualities that were different from those of ordinary people

In his past life memories, the current President of the United States should be Harry S. Truman, but now it is an old fellow named Johnson

This recovery speed is almost 10 times that of an average person

At that time, he did not pay attention

This was already noticed at the moment of rebirth

Not long ago, he also read a news report

The Japanese army suffered 22,703 casualties, with 1,083 soldiers surrendering

Hadi spent 45 dollars to purchase a second-hand Colt revolver, and the owner included a holster as a gift. He occasionally goes out to practice shooting in the wilderness, and with a bit of luck, he might even bring back one or two game animals.

He now possesses a Huaxia soul within him and is absolutely unwilling to serve the Americans any longer

In the inpatient department, Hardy saw Catherine again. The two were already very familiar with each other. Hardy had a good impression of this girl with two dimples when she smiled and invited Catherine to dinner at a restaurant in downtown San Francisco.

When he awoke, he had already been moved to a medical ship for treatment, yet no one knew that at this moment, Jon Hardy's body had already been inhabited by a soul from Huaxia

With Hardy's assistance, Catherine's workload has significantly decreased, and Hardy has also made many friends while caring for the patients

In this battle, the U.S. military suffered a total of 6,821 fatalities and 21,865 injuries

In addition to practicing martial arts

A scar remains after ten days

Hadi took the note issued by the ship's doctor to the psychiatric examination, and after a brief inquiry by the doctor here, the diagnosis was that he had post-traumatic stress disorder.
