Chapter 93 It’s not a big deal

Early the next morning, Gu Xi went back to camp No. 9527 alone.

After checking her identity, the staff at the logistics point in the camp handed her a palm-sized flat box, "I don't know what it is. It was sent from the Nancheng base. Please check it..."

Logistics fees are sky-high these days, but such a small box was delivered at a huge price. The staff was also worried that it was a particularly valuable item, and they were afraid that something might go wrong, so they asked Gu Xi to check it in person.

It's clear to take away.

"Thank you." Gu Xi reached out and took it, looking down at the face sheet on the small box. There was nothing on it except her name and contact information.

——Anonymous package?

I don’t know which one of those friends sent it?

Gu Xi thought for a moment and opened the box in front of the staff member.

The palm-sized box contained no valuables, only a small handwritten card inside.

When the staff member saw it, he glanced at Gu Xi in surprise and muttered to himself, who knew this was some rich person's game, but he spent a sky-high price to send such a card that looked like a child's graffiti?

Gu Xi looked at the simple drawing on the card and suddenly smiled.

After thanking the staff again, Gu Xi left Camp No. 9257.

Halfway along the road, the jeep suddenly turned a corner.

This time she disappeared for more than a month before returning to the Nancheng base, where more eyes were staring at her.

If her prediction was correct, the contents on that card would probably have appeared in front of many people by now.

In this case... let them all guess.

The jeep stopped deep in the jungle.

The car door opened, and the girl's figure was like the wind, and she quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Half an hour later, Gu Xi bent down to pick up the personal terminal in the pit and raised his eyebrows slightly.

She had seen this type of personal terminal on a forum before. It was a very popular style in the past few years, but now almost no one uses it anymore.

But the one in her hand looked new at first glance...

At this moment, the personal terminal in his hand suddenly vibrated.

Someone sent a video chat.

Gu Xi was in a daze for a moment before pressing the connect button.

The video was connected quickly.

An extremely skinny man with white hair appears in the picture.

Looking at the background, he is sitting by the window in a place where light and shadow intersect. His eyelids are half drooped, and half of his face is exposed, with ravines and ravines everywhere, and there is a gray and decaying atmosphere shrouded in death.

Seeing the old man on the screen, Gu Xi was stunned for a moment: "Li Ming, you..."

It was really difficult for her to connect the old man with a vicissitudes of life in the camera lens to the gentle young man who was as energetic and cunning as a fox deep in her memory.

For a moment, Gu Xi's heart suddenly surged with an unspeakable sadness.

Li Ming in the camera looked like he was about to die, but when he raised his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Xi's face, he smiled as gently as she remembered:

"Xiao Xi, long time no see."

Gu Xi was silent. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Across the camera, Li Ming raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, but his tone was quite indulgent: "Xiao Xi, don't look at me like this. If you do this, you will make me feel..."

Gu Xi seemed to know what he was going to say, and interrupted him coldly: "Li Ming, I remember that thirty years ago, your superpower had already exceeded level nine!"

"Did you find out?" Li Ming smiled and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just something wrong with the power. You won't die for the time being..."

"It's not a big deal? I can't die." Gu Xi was suddenly very angry.

The old man opposite smiled gently: "Yes, it's not a big deal. At least, I'll wait until you come back, right?"

Gu Xi's breath suddenly suffocated, and she suddenly realized something: in the thirty years since she disappeared, what had her former teammates done to find her...

Gu Xi suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Li Ming is best at figuring out people's hearts.

And Gu Xi was used to never making any cover-up in front of him.

At this moment, Li Ming looked at the girl in the video, and a trace of pain flashed across his face, but he soon returned to his gentle and calm look. It's just that he is too old now, and even the gentleness and calmness he maintained was revealed.

There is a bit of ashes that is about to run out.

Gu Xi took a deep breath and quickly adjusted.

"Yes, you are right, this is not a big deal." She said in a relaxed tone: "Because I am back..."

Opposite me, Li Ming also smiled: "Welcome back, Gu Xiaoxi."

Gu Xi frowned slightly: "Don't deliberately change the topic. Where are you now? Since you know there is something wrong with your power, why don't you come to me quickly? Li Ming, you know, I can..."

"Yes, I know." Li Ming interrupted her gently but firmly: "Xiao Xi, I know that as long as you come back, my problem will no longer be a problem. But Xiao Xi, if I can, I won't

I hope you can contact us old friends again..."

Gu Xi realized something sharply: "Did you already know that I was back?"

"Yes. I have known it for a long time." Li Ming nodded calmly, not hiding anything: "More than half a year ago, someone gave me a watermelon... Xiaoxi, you should know that the watermelon you grow is different from other people's.

Same, at that time, I had doubts."

Gu Xi remembered that not long after she woke up, she contracted the wasteland with Wei Heng, and then met the Qin sisters. Qin Yi took out the watermelon seeds...

She remembered that the batch of watermelons was later sold to the camp. Unexpectedly, it was eventually sent to the central base?

Gu Xi's heart sank.

Li Ming can think of himself when he sees watermelon, but what about others?

I heard Li Ming continue: "You disappeared mysteriously back then. This thing itself was weird. I guessed that you might have come back, but I didn't dare to announce it. At that time, the central base happened to send some agricultural experts to the local area.

Guide agricultural production..."

Gu Xi thought of something in an instant, and then understood: "So, Xu Yiersan, it was you who arranged it."

A very sure tone, without any doubt.

"Yes." Li Ming nodded gently and said with a smile: "I did some tricks and arranged for Xu Yiersan to go to Nancheng Base. At that time, I was thinking that if you didn't contact us immediately after you came back, maybe...

…”

"But Xu Yiersan is different from us. When you disappeared, he was still young and was not an official member of our team. However, he was a child you watched grow up. You should not be so kind to him.

Be on guard.”

Although Li Ming didn't say it explicitly, Gu Xi knew that he had already guessed that she might be suspicious of them...

The tacit understanding of fighting side by side for many years made them ignore this topic invariably.

Gu Xi's mood was a little complicated.

After thinking for a while, she asked: "So during that period, you were actually the one who delivered the news to me through the radio."

Li Ming has always been good at understanding people's hearts, and Xu Yiersan is a child he has watched grow up. He can naturally guess all Xu Yiersan's reactions after seeing him...

Including, Xu Yiersan would stuff that thing into herself.

For a moment, Gu Xi seemed to have gone back in time, when Li Ming was still her deputy captain and the dog-headed strategist of the team.

Gu Xi couldn't help but smile blankly, the sourness in her heart spread silently.

It doesn't hurt, but it's uncomfortably tight.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from our captain."

Li Ming also smiled, as if he had returned to the days when we all fought side by side: "So Xiaoxi, I knew you were back so early, but I never contacted you. Do you know why?"

Gu Xi was silent.

Of course she knows.

But there are some things that will only be crueler if you say them.
