Chapter 13 — In Rebirth, I Choose to Save People Before Saving Myself

I looked at her. In chaos. Same boat? Because they were both reincarnated? Are there any other causes?

"You will know."

Lam Hieu said softly.

"But now..."

"We have to keep up with everyone."

She stood up. Reach out to me. I hesitated for a few seconds. Finally... Still holding her hand. The two continued to follow the rescue team. After more than an hour. We finally reached the village. The village is very small. There are only a few dozen households. Most of the houses have collapsed. There are injured people everywhere. Some people were slightly injured. Someone was seriously injured. The rescue team immediately got to work. Carry heavy patients onto stretchers. Prepare to move back to the barracks. Not until five o'clock in the afternoon. All seriously ill patients have been treated.

"Preparing to return."

Han Vien Son ordered. People carried stretchers. Start your journey back. Half way there. The sky suddenly darkened. Dark clouds gathered. The storm arose.

"It's about to rain!"

Someone shouted loudly.

"Quickly find a place to hide!"

The whole team just carried the stretcher. Just ran to a house that was still relatively intact. Everyone just walked inside. The pouring rain immediately fell. Very heavy rain. Raindrops pounded on the roof. Makes endless popping sounds. We crowded into the house. Quietly looking at the white rain outside.

"This rain..."

"I'm afraid it won't stop right away."

Han Vien Son looked at the white rain outside.

"Tonight..."

"Maybe we can't go back."

Everyone looked disappointed. There is no other way. Can only wait. The rain still poured non-stop. The whole team took turns guarding. The remaining people took advantage of the rest. I lie in a corner of the house. But still can't sleep. In my head I kept repeating what Lam Hieu said.

"We're in the same boat."

"In time you will know."

After all... What does she mean? What else does she know? Why don't you tell me everything? I want to ask. But Lam Hieu was already sleeping. Breathing steadily. I quietly looked at her face sideways. My heart is full of hundreds of questions. She used to hurt me. But today... Save me again. After all... It's the enemy. Or allies? I do not know. But there's one thing... I understand very well. The only person you can trust... is yourself. I closed my eyes. Force yourself to fall asleep. Tomorrow... Still have to go. Must return to barracks. Definitely... No matter what happens. I also have to live. Only while alive. Only then can I find out the truth. Only while alive. Only then can I make those who once harmed me... The rain lasted all night. The next morning. The sky is finally clear. The rescue team continued to carry the stretcher. On the way back. Arrive at noon. We just made it back to the barracks. Everyone was tired and exhausted. No one complains. All are still alive. Being alive... That's victory. Return to the tent. I fell onto the bed. Sleep straight. I don't know how long I slept. When you wake up. It was dark outside. The campfire is still burning. I walked out of the tent. Han Vien Son is still standing next to the fire.

"Are you awake?"

He gave me a portion of dry food.

"Eat some."

I take it.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

He looked at me.

"Tomorrow..."

"The Provincial Department of Health will send someone down."

I was stunned.

"Provincial Department of Health?"

"What did they come down for?"

"Investigation of case two patient died."

He calmly replied.

"At the same time..."

"Want to see you."

"People from the Provincial Department of Health."

He looked deeply into my eyes.

"It's the person..."

"Wrote your name on the list."

"Almost there."

I unconsciously squeezed the dry food in my hand. Heart beats violently. Finally appeared. The person behind everything... is about to personally reveal himself.

"What did he come for?"

I asked softly.

"Don't know."

Han Vien Son shook his head.

"But I know..."

"He came to see the play."

I felt cold all over. See we are suspicious of each other. Watch us torment each other. Watch us fall one by one. That is his purpose.

"What should I do?"

Han Vien Son only said one word.

"Wait for him to appear."

"He exposed himself."

I nodded slightly.

"There's one more thing."

He lowered his voice.

"Be careful with Lam Hieu."

I looked at him.

"She was also reincarnated."

"Not like you."

"Before..."

"She was an enemy."

"And now..."

"Are they really allies or not?"

"I'm not sure either."

I was silent.

"Of course."

He smiled faintly.

"Don't completely trust me either."

"Anyway..."

"I was also someone else's enemy."

I looked at him. My heart is even more confused. Can't trust anyone. Anyone... Could be an enemy. The only person you can trust. There is still only... Myself.

"I understand."

I replied softly.

"Understood."

He turned around.

"Go rest."

"Tomorrow..."

"It will probably be the most important day."

I looked at his back. My heart is as heavy as lead. The most important day. People from the Provincial Health Department will come. The person behind everything. It will eventually show up. Will have to face him. There will be a direct confrontation. I will make him understand. Tham Thanh Tu... Not so easily defeated. In his previous life, he forced me to death. Then in this life... I won't lose again. I turned around. Return to the tent. Lie down on the field bed. Quietly look at the canvas roof above. It's very quiet outside. There was only the sound of the wind blowing through the canvas. Tomorrow... All truths. Everything will be revealed. Ready. No matter what's ahead. I will also face it. I've already died once. I will live until the end. Live until the day... All truths are revealed. Live until the day... All those who have harmed me must pay the price. I slowly closed my eyes. I sleep very deeply. No dreams. Strangely peaceful. Like... The final calm... Before the real storm hits. That was the moment... The storm began. Will stand right in the middle of the storm. Welcoming all.
