"I understand this." Pi Te nodded, "No need to explain. This is also considered a trauma of war. Many people I know have had this kind of experience, which is said to be caused by excessive stimulation."

"Yes. It's true. My doctor said the same thing. Have you ever had it?" asked Ellie.

"Yes." Pi Te nodded, "It's just a dream." As Pete said, the scenes I often see in dreams appeared in his mind again, that is, the dreams I told Dr. Feng. But those dreams are not all battles, some are more like memories, just putting things deep in his memory again.

"Then you are at least asleep." Eli said with a wry smile.

"It may not be good to fall asleep." Pete shook his head and lowered his voice: "You didn't arrive on time on the first day I came to Helmet. At that time, you said you went for a review. Is it because of this? Please don't mind, I'm not asking around. I just talk casually, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

"No. No. Nothing. Actually, I really want to talk to someone about the damn trauma." Ailly sighed, "Maybe like you said, I was frightened."

"We are all the same. In fact, everyone is scared." Pete said and signaled to Ochoa, "Isn't he the most nervous one before? Just before you came, the scene just now flashed through my mind, so when you got closer, I suddenly realized that someone was coming. This was actually caused by fear."

"When did you start having it? I mean this kind of dream that makes you uncomfortable," Ellie asked.

Pete thought for a while and said, "I don't remember it. I didn't appear suddenly. It was more like it was slowly appearing over time and over again. When I realized there was a problem, I couldn't remember when it started. Because since I started stationing overseas, I always had some inexplicable and scary dreams, but the most frequent occurrence was an action when I was stationed overseas. That time, a platoon of people were going on a mission. We were riding a car, which was similar to the scene we were here today, one after another, but the car was a bulletproof Hummer. At that time, I was in the second car, and I remember walking on a road that was not wide after I left the city. The car in front of us, to be precise, was suddenly exploded below the left side of the car."

"Rocket?" Ellie asked.

"No." Pete shook his head. It should be an IED (immediate explosive device) buried on the roadside. I still remember that the car in front of me was blown up from the ground and it was more accurate to bounce. Then I couldn't see anything because all the dust on the ground flew up. Then there was a jingle sound on our body, and it was obvious that someone was firing violently at us." Pete sighed, "I didn't know what to do at that time. I just knew that I couldn't stop here, but I didn't drive forward and hit the car that was just blown up in front of me. At this moment, I didn't know what to do. I just knew that I couldn't stop here, but I didn't drive forward and hit the car that was just blown up.

I knew who shouted, leave the highway, leave the highway! It was indeed necessary to leave at that time, because who knew if a rocket would fly out from somewhere? So the driver quickly turned the direction and drove out to the side of the road. Just as he was bypassing the car in front, I saw a man shakingly walking out of the car. The man was wearing his helmet on his head, and his face seemed to be bleeding. He opened the car door and got out of the car. I thought he wanted to escape quickly and leave the road. But that was not the case. After getting off the car, he tried to pull the other people in the car out, but as soon as he turned around, he was hit by a bullet and fell to the door."

"What a misfortune..." Ailey whispered.

"It's unfortunate. But it's not over yet. We hurriedly drove the car off the road. Someone urged to get off the car. Although the jingling sounds still coming from the body of the car, we were still in the other party's shooting range, but we had to fight back and not always be beaten. And the others behind us had already started fighting back, we had to keep up." Pete said and looked at Eli, "I was the second one to get off the car at that time. A man in front of us pushed open the door and rushed out. Just as my feet landed on the ground, I didn't know what it was. Not far from us

When it exploded, I watched my comrade being thrown out and fell heavily to the ground. His little arm..." Pete said as he gestured on his left arm, "and it fell beside me. At that time, I didn't know what other people felt at that time. Anyway, I was stunned by the bomb. For a moment, I thought I was finished and I had no sense of consciousness all over my body. I don't know how it took me to stand up again from the ground and prepare to fight back with a gun. But when we were really involved in the battle, we found that there was no movement in the direction of our shooting."

"Running?" Ellie asked.

"Yes. Run away." Pi Te nodded, "We almost caused any trouble to each other. It was a mess here, the wailing wounded, the bloody bodies of the dead companions, the bloody bloodstains on the ground, and the broken limbs of my comrade. Since that time, I have often dreamed of the scenes of that day, time and time again... The most tormenting thing is that later I shouted to stop in my dream and told them that there were bombs in front of me, but the dream would not stop at all. No one paid attention to me in the dream and exploded. Then those scenes happened again, including the ones I least wanted to see." After saying that, Pitt sighed and turned to Eli and said, "Where are you? How did you do when you were in the army?"

"Me?" Ailly shook his head slightly and said, "It's much better than you. Although he has been stationed overseas and has been to the war zone, he has never really exchanged fire. He just patrols and guards in the occupied areas. Sometimes you can hear gunfire, but it has nothing to do with us. You should have seen it, I'm actually very nervous tonight."

"That's good. Don't think it's very powerful in the rain of bullets. That's all a lie. But how did you have this trauma? After coming to Helmet?" asked Pete.

"Yes." Ailly shrugged his shoulders, "Just a while ago, in Africa, in Nigeria. That was the most difficult experience of my life."

"I heard from the sir," said Pete. "You were ambushed and then there was a disagreement." He said, looking at Morris over there, "the disagreement puts you in greater danger."

"Yes. Unlike what you just said, your battle was terrible but it didn't last long. But my duration was far beyond our expectations. What scared me the most was our own disunity, and the despair and helplessness of those who needed our protection were like a kind of pressure, so I couldn't breathe." Ailly said, "You don't know. It was over and they didn't reach an agreement. They fought each other, before I fell into a coma... The boss should tell you. I was fainted at that time. Before I was unconscious, I didn't even know what to do. I was as if I had come to a strange team and became at a loss and at a loss. After I came back, I had a problem." Ailly pointed to his head, "Luckily, the explosion did not make me lose anything, but my mind was different from before."
