Chapter 14 The Inner Ghost
Thirteen days later, Manila Air Force Base.
It is actually too weak to say that it is the Air Force. The airports are full of old-fashioned jets, with very few numbers. Most of them no longer perform combat missions and switch to reconnaissance and transportation. It is said that some new modified jets will arrive here in a month to replenish their troops, but they are no longer the same as the previous Air Force.
Li Zhen still remembers that the Empire's "Global Attack Plane" made its debut a year ago in a military exercise, which attracted a group of experts to exclaim that "modern warfare will enter a new form." But no one would have thought that it is indeed a "new form" now - but it is not what they expected.
Zhang Kesong sat next to him, and the two of them held their hands tightly. It took a long time before Li Zhen touched her hair affectionately: "I must be worried about you - you are the front line."
Kesong forced a smile: "A lot of things happened before, and most people don't believe that you are still alive. In the country..."
She hesitated for a while: "Your strength is too strong."
In fact, Li Zhen had thought of it for a long time. This is one of the reasons why he has been lurking for several months but has not appeared.
Li Zhen, who can kill the King of Earth, is of course an outstanding talent in the eyes of many people. But Li Zhen, who can destroy a city... has a completely different meaning. Especially in the current situation - electronic equipment fails, and the force built by modern technology cannot provide strong psychological support to some people. They must be mixed with joy and sorrow about the news that they are still alive.
This is human...
But Li Zhen chuckled softly: "One more enemy or one more friend is all in their mind. No one will be foolish at this time."
Ying Jue Ran's legs were wrapped in plaster, and he sat from a distance watching the two of them talking. Behind him was the airport runway. Some soldiers came and went, and looked surprised or admiring at him. Not far behind them, there was a second lieutenant with two soldiers guarding with guns - of course there would be no enemies here, but it was the way these soldiers expressed their emotions.
The fact that he went to the previous base alone to "behead" was spread by Zamboyan's garrison. No matter how many exaggerated the elements were, at least in the air force base, he had become the target of attention.
Zhang Kesong said "um" softly, and his hands tightened: "What are you going back when you go back? Are you going back?"
Li Zhen shook his head slightly: "You should know that once you go back and report it, there will be too many things, and you can't take it off for a while. So... I don't plan to report it. I have my own things to do."
He squinted his eyes and looked at the transport plane that was sliding into the runway in the distance: "In more than a year, they have done almost nothing. They have built several forward bases and fought a few battles in a big or small way - they are amazingly inefficient. What I want to do cannot be delayed - so the other side is handled by Resolutely."
He meant that he didn't want to deal with those people for the time being - Kesong could hear it. But all she could do was nod.
In her opinion, Li Zhen has changed...
Although his appearance was still the same as before and his tone did not change much. But he became quite cold and distant. When she thought of this, she blushed slightly. If it were Li Zhen, who used to taste the "meat smell", he would not have acted like he is now. In the past thirteen days, he only... asked for it four times.
In fact, after seeing him again and handing herself over to him, she had already made plans to "require" the other party.
But now he seems to have experienced many things and many people, and even the gentle whispers sound a bit calm.
She felt a little empty in her heart.
Li Zhen glanced at her gently, took her hand and stood up: "It's time for me to leave. Be careful here and wait for me to come back."
Zhang Kesong pursed his lips: "Take care too."
The transport plane had already slid onto the runway, and Ying Zhiran also stood up with the help of another soldier.
From a distance, the rear cabin of the transport plane was slowly lowered, and several soldiers were carrying the bulky freezer and walking there.
The second lieutenant behind him walked not far from the two of them and whispered: "General."
Li Zhen nodded knowingly, pecked Kesong's forehead lightly, and turned around and walked towards the distance.
Zhang Kesong stood there and watched them, moved his hand to the gun at his waist, and held it tightly - only in this way can he give him more courage and try to make his heart hard like a cold grip.
"You should take her away." Ying Yan limped closer to him and whispered.
"You know that the prophets influence each other. And... it's not possible now." Li Zhen whispered, "The longer I stay with her, the more I feel like a human being."
"I thought you had made a decision."
"It's done well. But some things are better to consider with non-human thinking." Li Zhen held him under his armpit and helped him step onto the slope of the rear cabin of the transport plane.
After confirming that the cabin door was slowly closed, Li Zhen saw Zhang Kesong covering his mouth with his hands when the last gap disappeared.
The two of them sat down and fastened their seat belts.
After one minute, I felt a slight bump. After two minutes, the fuselage shook slightly and my chest was slightly stuffy - it was lifted off.
"I feel uncomfortable when I look." Ying Jianran said.
Li Zhen smiled and looked at the other people sitting not far away. They were all soldiers who were going back to the country, with several seats separated from them, and there were a total of six. Seeing Li Zhen's eyes swept over, these soldiers unconsciously straightened their backs slightly and pursed their lips.
Between far away, there was another roar of the engine in the cabin, and they were surprised to hear the conversation between the two.
In fact, Li Zhen knew that Ying Jueran's words were half for Zhang Kesong to "stand up for justice", while the other half was because of himself. What he thought was that if he and Kesong stayed for a longer time, their humanity would be stronger in his heart - after all, they were still a little afraid of the news he learned that night.
Li Zhen didn't say his thoughts, but only pulled the topic away: "Why don't you talk about Miss An? That's your fiancée."
Ying Jueran's face was a little weird: "We are not very familiar with each other."
But Li Zhen showed great interest: "I really didn't ask about it before - what happened to An Ruosu? You two..."
Ying Jueran frowned slightly: "Why are you interested in this?"
Li Zhen spread his hands quietly: "Just treat chatting and relieve stress. Maybe you can give me more humanity."
I don’t know which sentence worked. Ying Jue Ran gently flicked the plaster on his left leg and sighed slightly: “If you want to know, tell me it.”
"His family and my family are old friends, and they are both inherited titles. Liu Yangbo is a little older than my father, but in fact, An Ruosu and I were born in the same year. At that time, both of us were very happy and joked about being married to a baby. This kind of thing was originally a joke - it was all this time."
"But later, I kept making this joke, and Uncle Liu Yang took it seriously. It was hard for him to take it seriously. My father was not easy to push him. In addition, he felt that there was nothing wrong with us, so he tried to let us get along for a while. At that time, there was nothing wrong with the Liu family. Ruosu and I were both seventeen or eighteen years old... I didn't feel much annoying to each other after a while."
"What's wrong?" Li Zhen asked softly, "What's the matter?"
Ying Ran smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, listen to me. Then, An Ruosu went abroad. Liu Yangbo was a 'sea turtle' in his early years, so Ruosu also wanted to go out for a walk. You know, long-distance relationships. In fact, we can't even say it's 'love'. She stayed in Europe for four years, and I stayed in the secret service office for four years. It was inconvenient to contact each other, so I slowly broke up. Then I also had a girlfriend and later separated."
"The year when she returned to China... something happened to the Liu family. An Ruosu also had an older brother named An Ruohong." Ying Jianran looked at Li Zhen, "This An Ruohong is now the third leader of Kuaizaifeng."
Li Zhen was slightly stunned, frowned, and waited for him to continue talking.
"In fact, the Liu family... whether it is Liu Yang Bo or An Ruohong, there is such a kind of bone in his bones. How can I say it? A more literary statement - 'romantic color'. Otherwise, Liu Yang Bo would not have gone abroad to study when he was young. An Ruohong was older than my brother, and he should be forty-seven years old now. So during the 1990s, he also participated. But it was not the early stage, but the mid stage - those who contacted Kuaizaifeng and those who could eliminate their abilities."
"It is difficult for the official to come forward in this kind of thing. An Ruohong was able to take advantage of his identity and background at that time, so he was responsible for contacting the other two people in private. But no one expected that he was actually persuaded by those people at that time - he became interested in that organization."
"So no one could have thought that he became a spy for Kuaizaifeng on our side. Look, Liu Yang Bo's son ran to be a spy for Kuaizaifeng - no one would believe it. Until a few years ago, he was exposed because of a very accidental thing. So he took advantage of the chaos to escape to Kuaizaifeng's overseas base - it is said that his status was already very high before his identity was exposed, and he probably had done better in the past few years."
Li Zhen touched his chin quietly: "No one has ever suspected Liu Yang Bo?"
"Of course there is." Ying Jianran said in a deep voice, "Before the incident, he was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Water Resources. He resigned after this incident. After investigation for a while, he really didn't seem to know - An Ruohong hid it very well. After that, he did two things. One thing was to call Ruosu back from Europe and send her to the secret service office. The other thing was to ask the emperor to seize the title."
Li Zhen nodded slightly. His son ran away and sent his daughter to the secret service office—in fact, it was a disguised "hostage". In addition, "inviting to seize the title"—for a parent of a noble family, it is second only to commit suicide to show his ambitions.
No wonder An Ruosu was as low-key as Liu Yangbo's daughter in the base - in ancient times she was the daughter of a criminal.
"But what the hell are you two?"
Ying Jueran smiled: "There are many people who don't like the Liu family - Liu Yang Bo offended many people when he was the deputy minister's cabinet, so he almost really took the title. But my father made a fuck at this time - and made An Ruosu and I get engaged. So... you know, things slowly calm down."
Li Zhen whispered and smiled slightly, "Did you really agree?"
"I don't care." Ying Jue Ran smiled softly, "If you don't make people hate it, Liu Yang treats me well, if you can, please help me. Besides... I don't care much about things like feelings."
"Of course it doesn't matter. They are trying to marry someone in danger, but you have become a bad debt - it must be Miss An." Li Zhen smiled, "I heard from Kesong that Miss An is quite not simple. Her ability is so powerful that she has the credit for her. Such a wonderful woman... don't you cherish it?"
Ying Jueran smiled a little embarrassedly, but looking at Li Zhen, his face became a little strange.
"You... tell me this?" He frowned slowly. "It was not surprising that you told me this before. But now... what do you want to say?"
Li Zhen nodded: "Well, it's a bit strange. But before answering your question, I want to know one thing - your relationship with Miss An is very distant, so how is her relationship with Dai Bingcheng? Very close?"
Ying Jueran's face slightly rose: "What do you mean?"
"It's not what you mean." Li Zhen looked at him calmly, "I just want to know. Tell me the truth."
Ying Ran looked at him for a long time before saying, "Yes. But you have to give me an explanation later."
"good."
He looked at Li Zhen again and frowned: "Ruosu and Dean... should not meet often in the base. But the Dean and Liu Yang Bo have a good relationship - it is said that when he was studying, it was funded by Liu Yang Bo. Later, when An Ruohong happened, they interacted more frequently. However, no one can tell whether it was nostalgic or more investigation at this time. But in general, it is okay to say that they have a close relationship."
Li Zhen remained silent. Ying Jianran looked at him carefully, and finally couldn't hold back: "What do you want to do when you ask?"
Li Zhen slowly looked up: "There is an insider in the base."
The roar of the plane was a little loud, Ying Jue Ran was slightly stunned, feeling that he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "What?"
"There are insiders in the base." Li Zhen said seriously, "The senior management should have known about this and started to investigate. But according to their usual efficiency... I don't think it's possible to get results this year."
Ying Jueran's face changed drastically, and his eyebrows frowned into the Sichuan word: "Are you doubting Ruosu?!"
"It's not just her." Li Zhen said calmly, "Officers above the dean level of the two bases in the north and south are on my list. But the most suspicious one is Dai Bingcheng."
Ying Jue Ran almost stood up, but when he moved, he almost fell into Li Zhen's arms.
Several soldiers in the distance cast curious eyes on this side, Ying Ran looked at them resolutely and calmed himself down. But his voice was still very excited: "Dean? Impossible. What evidence do you have? Why do you think there is an insider?"
