As the old man in uniform narrated, a piece of history that had been sealed for hundreds of years slowly unfolded in front of Wei Heng.
As early as the early 1950s, the world's two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, launched a protracted arms race.
In addition to the well-known technological and military competition, the two countries have even begun secretly preparing secret action teams for superpowers.
At that time, China was first established, and in order to cope with the increasingly severe international situation, it was natural that corresponding research on superpowers began.
The Abnormal Human Research Institute, a research institution on the mysterious abilities of the human body, was established at that time.
However, because China's technological level at that time still lagged behind the world's top superpowers, although researchers within the institution did find humans with supernatural powers, they were unable to provide corresponding scientific theories. As a result, the research on these abilities suddenly entered the into the field of metaphysics.
Seeing that things were about to get out of control, the Abnormal Human Research Institute decided to disband.
At this time, Gan Lao, who had laid down the "China's future interstellar aviation development plan", learned that China also had an institution called the Abnormal Human Research Institute, and took the initiative to apply to join, thus bringing the institute back to life.
In fact, Qianlao’s original goal of joining was to study how to best protect astronauts and lay a solid foundation for the development of China’s interstellar aviation in the future.
But as time went by, various countries suddenly made major breakthroughs in the research on genetic technology, and the Abnormal Human Research Institute turned to focusing on human superpowers and genetic evolution technology.
Wei Heng’s parents, ‘Wei Hongwen’ and ‘Si Ning’, are members of the Abnormal Human Research Institute.
"Your parents are both the best elites. Hongwen was one of the first genetic warriors in the country at that time, and Si Ning was a senior researcher at the institute. The country decided to participate in the construction of mankind's first space immigration base, 'Mars SR-001' After planning it, I have been working hard to prepare for it.”
There was a look of reminiscence in the eyes of the old man in uniform, "Later, they joined the second batch of 3,000-person Mars expedition team under pseudonyms, and left the earth in March 2076, when you were just three years old. What happened next, You all learned this in history class at school."
March 2076…
Wei Heng nodded.
The arrival of Sedna in the solar system, the invasion of alien insects, and the catastrophe that swept the world all began after March 25 of that year.
As for why his uncle never told him, he didn't understand until he learned that his parents were affiliated with the 'Abnormal Human Research Institute'.
At that time, the Abnormal Human Research Institute was still the most confidential mysterious research institution in the country.
The identity and work information of insiders cannot be disclosed even to their parents and siblings.
He is just an ordinary person's uncle. He doesn't even know that his parents are military officers. Naturally, he doesn't even know what his parents' real jobs are.
"The great cataclysm has begun, and the whole world has suffered heavy losses due to the rampage of mutant beasts. We, the land of China, can only urgently build seven bases, transfer a large number of people, and use the secret operation team of genetic warriors in the war against mutant beasts. We barely managed to protect the seven major base cities." The old man in military uniform sighed.
"The war between mutant beasts and humans lasted for five full years. Countless cities were destroyed, a large number of small countries were destroyed, and nearly two billion humans died... Only China, the United States, the European Union, and the Soviet Union can still preserve their national systems. Five countries: Russia and India.”
"The country at that time had no time to care about the afterlife of your parents and the scientific researchers who went to the Mars base."
"When the large-scale war on land ends five years later, the new order of the human base city era will be established again, but the population registration information has become extremely confusing after the catastrophe, and there are many people whose identities are unclear."
The old man in uniform sighed.
"Fortunately, I saw your information and confirmed you through the parents' information registered when you joined the army. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that you were still alive."
Before the catastrophe, he also belonged to the Institute of Abnormal Humanity. He was the military commander in charge of the security guard at that time. He was also the old leader of Wei Heng's father, so he knew the identities of Wei Heng's parents in detail.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for other people to associate this with just a few names, even the old people who used to work in the research institute.
Wei Heng was silent.
He had also heard many people talk about the history during the Cataclysm.
It was a turbulent and chaotic era.
There are too many people who are separated from their relatives, those who are separated from their parents and become orphans, and there are even many people who change their names for some reason.
Until today, ten years have passed since the catastrophe, and the major base cities have basically stabilized.
"But now I finally found you." The old man in uniform said with a smile, "You're a good boy. You awakened your powers at the age of 18, your qualifications are rated five stars, and you didn't embarrass your parents."
"Chief, can you give me this photo?" Wei Heng held the photo of his parents and couldn't bear to put it down.
This was the first time he really saw a group photo of his parents, and it was also the first time he saw his mother's true appearance.
"Of course. From now on, if there are no outsiders, don't call me chief, just uncle."
The old man in military uniform nodded, turned around and shouted out the door: "Xiao Xiao."
"Chief." Secretary Xiao, who had been waiting outside the living room door, immediately entered the room.
"Go and prepare an appointment in accordance with the "Special Power Gene Warrior Elite" regulations, grant Wei Heng the rank of captain, and transfer him to the seventh squadron of the third squadron of the hunter brigade directly under the military region." The old man in military uniform pondered for a while, and then said, "All special
The rewards are all based on the highest standards.”
"Yes, I'll go make the appointment right away."
Although Secretary Xiao was shocked, she had seen the chief greet him in person and put off work, so he already knew that the chief treated Wei Heng differently, so he agreed and left directly.
"Thank you, chief." Wei Heng said.
According to the information he received when he was in the recruit company, the lowest rank for an original warrior to join the army was second lieutenant, and the highest rank was lieutenant.
Being promoted from private to captain is an extraordinary promotion.
"Didn't I ask you to call me uncle?" The old man in military uniform smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao is not an outsider. If you have trouble coming to me in the future, feel free to go to him."
"Yes, Uncle Qin." Wei Heng responded.
Soon, within half an hour, Secretary Xiao delivered the appointment letter, carrying a military suitcase in his hand.
The old man in military uniform briefly glanced at the appointment letter and then signed it.
"Okay, I have a few important combat meetings to attend in the afternoon. Wei Heng, please stay here for a few days. After you have selected your martial arts and combat skills, you can then go to the hunter brigade to report."
Wei Heng nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Xiao, please settle Wei Heng before going to work." The old man in military uniform gave another instruction to Secretary Xiao, then stood up and left the villa.
Only Wei Heng and Secretary Xiao were left in the empty living room.
"Brother Wei Heng, my name is Xiao Zhan. I am the chief's confidential secretary. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Xiao. If you have anything to do in the future, just say it." Secretary Xiao put the military suitcase in his hand
Placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
"Brother Xiao, what is this?" Wei Heng looked at the suitcase.
"This is the military uniform, rank, combat uniform, communication bracelet, hunter armband and other necessary items that I received for you." Xiao Zhan opened the suitcase.
The top layer is a set of dark green military uniforms with "one bar and three stars" on the shoulder straps, and the bottom layer is a set of black camouflage combat uniforms.
In addition, there is a dark matte metal bracelet inside the suitcase, as well as a totem armband with a strange eye pattern, and the words "Hunter" embroidered in gold on it.
"The chief has signed the appointment letter. From today on, you are an official member of the Hunter Brigade." Xiao Zhan said with a smile, "The Hunter Brigade is a special operations force directly under the military region. It is directly led by the chief of staff, that is, the chief.
.”
"And this communication bracelet, I have bound your identity information. In addition to the normal communication function, you can also log in to the 'Army God Library' inside the military network. This is something that genetic warriors all over the world want to enter.
Internal network. You will know the details after you log in yourself."
After that, Xiao Zhan took him to familiarize himself with the layout of the villa before leaving.
After sending Xiao Zhan away, Wei Heng randomly chose a guest bedroom on the second floor, took a quick shower, and then put on the black camouflage combat uniform he had just received.
Looking in the mirror, he saw the 'three stars with one bar' on his collar badge, and the 'hunter armband' attached to his right arm...
"We will also be hunters from now on!"
Wei Heng was naturally excited that his biggest dream before joining the army was achieved so smoothly.
After spending more than twenty minutes in front of the mirror and trying on both military uniforms, he changed into a pair of loose training clothes and went to the video room on the basement floor.
Chapter completed!
