The old man smiled at all of us, and then said: "Thank you for your hard work! I'm very happy to see that everyone is safe and sound."
At this time, instructor Shui came forward and said to us: "Comrades, this is General Long, the top leader in charge of our national security and secret work. Everyone salutes!"
All of us were shocked and quickly followed Instructor Shui to give the old man a standard military salute and said in unison: "Hello, Chief!"
The silver-haired old man, General Long, smiled and returned the military salute, and then said: "Comrades, you have completed this mission very well. Instructor Shui has already reported to me the specific process. This concludes the mission.
Even if it ends successfully. Here, I am very grateful for everyone's efforts and spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of hardships and obstacles, and being loyal to the motherland, so I came here from Beijing to commend you. You are all outstanding soldiers working in secret national security.
Down the road, you will have more and more difficult tasks waiting for you to complete, do you have confidence?"
We all shouted without thinking: "Report to the leader, have confidence!"
General Long nodded with satisfaction, and then said kindly: "Everyone will stay here for the next week, take a good rest and regain your strength." After saying that, he looked at his watch and then said: "I want to go immediately.
Flying back to Beijing, there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with. I believe that everyone is extremely loyal to the country, and I thank you all!"
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and shook each of us one by one. When I held the unknown general's hand, I clearly felt that his dry and gentle big hand seemed to be filled with endless energy.
some kind of power.
The general then cordially greeted the two non-military members who participated in the mission, Zengfan Taoist Master and Fei Fanfan, and then hurriedly left the ward with the two heroic soldiers beside him. I believe he must have
He immediately took a military plane and flew back to Beijing.
After everyone watched him leave, Pang Xiaotai immediately asked: "Instructor Shui, what General said seems to me that there is a new task for us to perform?"
Instructor Shui smiled bitterly, looked at all of us, and then nodded.
Pang Xiaotai sighed, and said with some confusion and frustration: "I don't know what the mission is this time. Anyway, I think we are not like soldiers, but more like an expedition team, and what we explore are all weird and incomparable things that subvert the world view.
It’s dangerous. I’ve only been a soldier for a few days, but my mission is incomprehensible.”
After Pang Xiaotai finished speaking, everyone looked at each other without saying anything. Indeed, although Pang Xiaotai's words contained some elements of dissatisfaction, it was indeed a question that everyone had been confused about.
At this time, we all saw that Instructor Shui's eyes suddenly became a little cold. She looked at us coldly, and then said: "First of all, remember that you are soldiers, there is no doubt about it! These two missions, the experience
I know that everything is really strange and difficult to explain, but we are indeed fighting against Taiwan and foreign spy organizations, and these are all important tasks and tasks related to national security. What do soldiers do?
Just do whatever the country needs you to do without hesitation!"
Instructor Shui said these words in a sharp and tough tone that we had never heard before. It silenced all of us for a moment.
After Instructor Shui finished speaking, he sat down next to Zhang Li on the bedside of Taoist Zengfan with a somewhat softened expression, and then asked softly about the Taoist's injury.
Jiao Yiming, Pang Xiaotai, Xiaowen and I all glanced at the figure of the water instructor with his back to us, and then looked at each other. At this time, Fei Fan, an outsider, grinned and gloated at us.
The four of them made a face, which attracted sharp glares from all four of us.
The seven days in the hospital passed by in a hurry. Instructor Shui returned to his usual quiet and calm self, and everyone tried their best to enjoy the comfortable recuperation life. But I believe that everyone knows in their hearts that temporary comfort means the next step.
The beginning of a thrilling and difficult journey.
I have communicated with Jiao Yiming privately that the visit of the top official of the national security department to Yunnan is definitely not an ordinary visit. Although instructor Shui has never revealed the content of our next mission, Jiao Yiming and I have already had a premonition of this.
A work assignment must be extraordinary.
What is supposed to come will eventually come. The week of recuperation has come to an end. An ordinary green old-fashioned two-row jeep entered the hospital, and under the summons of instructor Shui, we all got in the car.
The jeep quietly took us to the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city. After passing several checkpoints guarded by soldiers, we entered a desolate narrow valley surrounded by barbed wire fences and several lookout towers in the open area.
The car drove for about ten minutes and stopped in front of a very small white two-story building. On the hills on both sides of the building, I saw many green military tents, and I vaguely felt that there were many green military tents inside.
People are watching us.
As soon as I got off the car and stood in the narrow valley with towering clouds on both sides, I felt that this place seemed a little unusual. Because, along the way we came, except for the few checkpoints in the past and the few steps within the barbed wire fence,
Except for a few soldiers on the observation deck, I didn't see anyone in such an open area.
After everyone got out of the car, the ordinary-looking jeep driver didn't say a word. He just looked at instructor Shui, nodded, got in the car, turned around, and left.
Instructor Shui glanced at us lightly and said: "This is a secret work base of the country. It is mainly engaged in scientific research. After entering, everyone will follow my command in all actions. Don't walk around and talk. You must remember it!"
Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you if you get into trouble.”
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the main entrance of the small building.
Taoist Master Zengfan smiled, pulled Zhang Li, and followed behind Instructor Shui. The remaining five of us looked at each other, and the confused ones quickly followed.
Go up.
As soon as you enter the small building, a dark atmosphere hits your face. The door of the small building is not big, and it can only accommodate two people walking in side by side. After entering the small building, there is a small hall hanging on the top in the middle of the lobby, which is only about ten square meters.
A round ceiling lamp with a lampshade, the light is dim and orange.
Facing us in the lobby was a corridor. There were no stairs to go upstairs. It was just a dim corridor that seemed to extend forward without end. I saw a dim orange ceiling light on the top of the corridor that seemed to be at every distance.
At the entrance of the corridor, a wooden table painted with grass green paint is placed there. The wooden table looks like the desks in schools around the 1980s. The green paint has fallen off and is somewhat mottled and old. Behind the wooden table
, a green figure is like some kind of dark creature sitting quietly in the dim shadow, everything feels a bit weird.
When instructor Shui led us to the front of the wooden table, the green figure stood up. Only then did we see clearly that he was a soldier wearing a green uniform. Due to the dim light, we could not see him clearly.
But I seemed to feel that this person should be very old, and he exuded an indescribable aura. A word suddenly popped out of my mind: old. Yes, that is, very old, very old.
breath.
After the soldier stood up, he and Instructor Shui raised their hands at the same time and gave each other a military salute. Then Instructor Shui took out a piece of paper from his pocket. The soldier took it and glanced at it for a few times, then stood there quietly.
, seemed to be scanning each of us. In the dimness, my heart suddenly trembled. I seemed to feel his eyes, which were very sharp.
This feeling only lasted for a few seconds. The soldier nodded to Instructor Shui and made a gesture of invitation. Instructor Shui smiled and took the lead to walk towards the facade of the corridor.
As I walked past the soldier, I looked back for some unknown reason. The soldier stood quietly behind us, seeming to still be watching us. But the strange thing is that I no longer have the same feeling as before.
.
The corridor seems to be very long, but the strange thing is that there are gray walls on both sides of the corridor, no rooms, and no traces of doors.
Every dozen or so steps on the top of the corridor, a dim orange ceiling light was lit. When I secretly counted to the tenth light, a door finally appeared in front of me. It was a square-shaped iron gate. The light inside shone brightly.
When it came out, it was that kind of bright ru white light.
We stood in front of the door, and there were footsteps inside. A young and handsome soldier in his twenties walked to the fence, raised his hand and saluted a military salute, and then asked: "Is Shuirou Qingshui
Instructor?"
Instructor Shui returned the military salute, then nodded and said, "I am Shui Rouqing."
The soldier pressed a button on the iron fence from inside, and the iron gate slowly rose up with a "clatter". The young soldier smiled, showing his white teeth, and then said to Instructor Shui: "Instructor Shui,
Minister An is waiting for you and your subordinates to arrive in Room 9 of Area 1. I will open the passage to Area 1 for you, and you and your subordinates can reach it by walking straight ahead."
Instructor Shui smiled and raised his head to express his understanding.
At this time, we all saw that the inside of the iron fence turned out to be a small arc-shaped space, which looked like a cave dug out of the mountain wall. However, the walls of this arc-shaped space were dark and smooth.
It's iron-colored. In this arc-shaped room, there are no furnishings except for a long table painted in ruby white.
On the wall facing the iron fence, there are four square bright steel gates lined up. District 1, District 2, District 3, and District 4 are written in red paint on them.
The young soldier walked to the steel door marked with Area 1 and said to Instructor Shui: "Instructor Shui, I want to tell you, please warn everyone. After entering Area 1, do not touch anything inside.
Don't be surprised if you see anything strange. Keep moving forward and Minister An will pick you up."
Instructor Shui said: "Thank you, I will restrain my subordinates."
The soldier nodded, then raised something that looked like a TV remote control in his hand, and pressed a button on the steel door of Area 1. After a slight sound, the bright steel door slowly opened inside.
