Chapter 63
"Are you kidding the placement of dangerous lifeforms?" Hearing this, Wang Yulin's eyes widened suddenly, "Why does this base have to undertake such a mission? The antimatter mass production program itself is already dangerous enough! Besides, because of the last espionage incident, the coordinates of the base itself have been exposed, and this place may be attacked by Europeans at any time, isn't it? Once the lifeform in your mouth gets out of control......
"Comrade Wang Yulin, I am not here to ask for your opinion, this is just to inform you on the face of the person in charge of the project. On the other side of the table, an officer with the rank of colonel on his shoulder was playing with an old-looking flintlock pistol in his hand, "It is precisely because the coordinates of this base have been exposed that we can send defense troops here without worrying about the eyes of the heavens of various countries, isn't it?www.biquge.info β
"But we haven't heard anything about it until then, and that creature is going to be here tomorrow!
"I just learned about this two hours ago, when would you like me to inform you?two months ago?" the colonel slapped the flintlock pistol in his hand on the table, "Doctor, in this matter, my soldiers have to bear more pressure! We were supposed to defend against a possible European attack, but now that such a time bomb has been planted inside the base, and in the event of an accident, we have received an order to protect the safety of you researchers at all costs! Do you understand what that means?"
"What do you mean, Comrade Colonel? Are you expressing dissatisfaction with the mission? This is your responsibility!"
"Then it is also your responsibility to take in this living being!It is your responsibility to use this base!Otherwise, what will you do with the country?Let those bases that are still in a secret state be exposed because of the presence of defense forces? Or, is there any way you can build a military base with enough troops to be stationed by tomorrow? Before that, you have to consider that we are at war with two countries!" Pressing the flintlock pistol on the table, the colonel stood up directly," Me and my troops were supposed to be on the front line, and now we're doing nothing here for you!
"You're still unhappy with the mission, aren't you? I'll immediately draft a report and ask the higher authorities to demote you!"
"Please, if a demotion can get me into battle to stop the damned Indians or Japanese, I'd glad you did!"
"You ......" Seeing that his last hole cards were useless to the other party, Wang Yulin jumped to his feet angrily, "You just wait for the demote report!"
Throwing off the words, she stood up and walked to the door, slamming it shut.
"This young lady," said a strange, unfamiliar voice suddenly came to her ear, "can you let me do it? β
Wang Yulin raised her head. Next to him, Ge Chengzhi, who was wearing cleaning clothes, supported his body with a dun cloth, and continued in a hoarse falsetto: "Even if you quarrel with the colonel, don't be angry with us little people." β

"So, what is his attitude, as if we researchers have become a burden to his precious troops. Wang Yulin took the coffee that Ge Chengzhi made for her, "Thank you." β
"Actually," Ge Chengzhi pulled over a chair and sat down, "it seems to be the case." β
"What? Do you agree with his boring thoughts? I thought you had my back!"
"Of course I'm rooting for you. Ge Chengzhi will always stand on the side of women, this is the truth of the universe, and there is no doubt about it. Ge Chengzhi blew the cup of green tea in his hand, "But there is no contradiction between supporting you and thinking that your opinion is wrong." β
"What!? What do you call that! We have worked so hard to contribute to this country, why do we become a burden? I want to say that the taxpayers spend so much money all day to support those troops, but most of the time most people have nothing to do except training, these people are the burden!"
"You're right. Ge Chengzhi nodded slightly, "They are also burdensome." β
"What......" Wang Yulin didn't know what to say at this time, "What do you mean?"
"According to you, all people are a burden. The definition of cumbersome is someone who is useless, and no one can guarantee that he or she will be useful at all times, isn't it? Ge Chengzhi took a sip of tea, "Besides, if you bury this time bomb in the base, everyone is a victim, isn't it? What's the use of a group of victims complaining to each other? It's better to think about how to strengthen security measures." β
"Ah......" After thinking about it carefully, feeling that what the other party said was indeed reasonable, Wang Yulin lowered her head, "That's true...... Both of us seem to be too impulsive......"
"Just figure it out. Give him a step down, and go and apologize tomorrow, if the atmosphere is too stiff, it will not be good for anyone. So," Ge Chengzhi stood up, "I still have a job, so I'll go first." β
"I see...... Slow down and don't send. β
Why, in dealing with interpersonal relationships, I just can't be as calm as him?
The sudden thought made Wang Yulin feel shocked. Then, she smiled self-deprecatingly: who is calmer than an agent as a researcher?
She turned around and turned on the holographic screen. There is still work to be done today, and we must not lag behind.

"It's really ...... It's been demolished. β
Looking at the construction site in front of him, Ge Yiwei's expression darkened. Touching the two photos in his pocket, a sadness rose in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.
ββ¦β¦ If it weren't for my dad to stop me, Lao Tzu would have joined the army a long time ago, and now maybe in Japan or India, if you mix well, you can still make a few merits, and then you will return to your hometown and glorify your ancestors, hey, you can only watch with your eyes, maybe you have to find a way to slap me......"
"Come on, just your temperament, how many meritorious deeds do you want to make? If you want to make meritorious service, you have to be a person like me, you have never been able to beat me since you were a child, think about it, don't you? But Indians, don't you say that this is not looking for death? They actually took the initiative to attack, and their brains must have been burned out. Tsk tsk, otherwise the Ganges River is not shallow to harm people......"
In front of the construction site, two young men dressed as migrant workers each held a cigarette in their mouths and talked happily about the two wars facing their homeland. For them, the war is too far away, so there is no realism at all. All they know is a handful of war correspondent materials and literature that deals with the real battlefield for the sake of the audience's state of mind.
A few months ago, I was one of them. And now......
Ge Yiwei clutched the two photos in his hand tightly. In the photo, the carefree smiling faces of the four people are wrinkled.
A truck slowly drove out of the construction site, and on top of it was the iconic locust tree in China Park. Now, along with the new China Park, it will make its home about three kilometers from here.
What should I do? I am afraid that the last wish of the female soldier will not be realized......
Looking at the trucks and locust trees that were gradually moving away, Ge Yiwei sighed and walked up to the two construction workers who no longer knew where they were talking about: "Two comrades, can you borrow a fire?"
"Comrade? One of them looked at him and threw over a lighter, pistol-shaped, very delicately made, "Civil servant? Or a college student who goes to school nearby?"
"No," pulled the "trigger", a light blue flame came out of the muzzle of the pistol, and Ge Yiwei sent two photos. Like a man who has been hungry for a few days and suddenly sees food, the fire licks the picture greedily and happily, and the ashes left over from the burning are blown by the autumn wind and scattered in all directions, "Soldier." β
"Soldier, brother, you're really not kidding?"
"Ah, just returned from the battlefield in Japan. Ge Yiwei threw the lighter back, "Thank you." β
"Wait, brother...... Comrade, can you tell us about ......"
Ignoring the quieter and quieter voices behind him, Ge Yiwei turned and left. Three days is not a long time, and there should be a lot of work to be done. And......
Even if you say that, it's not okay to let people who are worried about themselves worry all the time.
"Come out, boss. Why don't you learn your lesson? Just go out on the street in your armpit witch costume in such a blatant manner, but it's much more conspicuous than wearing a wedding dress at the cemetery. Ge Yiwei glanced at a corner behind him, "Moreover, this time there are still three people." Look at what's behind you? Don't use spirit bullets. β
Just as expected, there was a ...... around the corner Uh, very lively sound. After bothering to distinguish two sentences that he could still understand, Ge Yiwei found that it was similar to what he had guessed. After nearly five minutes, Marisa, who was full of energy, ran over with a dejected Reimu and Sanae, whose face was already red to the base of her neck.
"How's it going?"
"The crowd...... Those people are all like Wenwen, they can't get rid of them, and they are all holding some strange things!"
"Uh......h Is this what you call being watched? How shy you are...... and the defendant was ...... in vain"
"But it's really interesting! Shouldn't everyone be glad that everyone's eyes are on them?"
"Okay, let's talk about it later. Why are you up so early?" Ge Yiwei leaned against the wall. It's about half past six, which is indeed a bit early for these idlers waiting for weapons, and there are basically no people on the street - but even so, judging from the movement just now, the Gensokyo trio still attracted enough eyeballs, "I thought you guys had been backlogged for so many days, and you should have been very tired last night to ......"
"Don't mention this again, do you hear me!"
"Last night...... Woo......"
As soon as he heard Ge Yiwei mention the incident of last night, Lingmeng immediately put on an angry look, picked up the imperial coin in his hand and was about to smash it on his head. Sanae, on the other side, directly crashed in her brain, spinning in a circle in a dizzy way, muttering "It's a dream...... It's all a dream...... No, it can't be a dream either...... Ah, what the hell should I do......". Marisa, the only one who didn't understand the situation, pulled Ge Yiwei's sleeve: "Xiaowei, what has been backlogged for so many days, why should we be so tired last night?"
"Understand for yourself. Well, it's all up so early anyway, so let's go shopping, although there may not be much to do right now. Ge Yiwei put his hands in his pockets, "When the time comes, I have to buy you a few sets of clothes...... Although I don't seem to have much money either. β

"Father, he...... Passed away!?"
Alberta couldn't take the news. She felt her legs go limp, and she sat straight on the floor.
"Yes, miss. In front of him, the old butler also had a grief-stricken expression, "Just yesterday, the master was assassinated by an unknown person, and then the rescue was ineffective...... Passed away. β
"Unknown...... Who the hell is it? Why did he kill his father? Did he have a personal vendetta with the Relic family? Why?"
ββ¦β¦ We don't know, miss. The killer committed suicide after this. Before this happened, his resume was incredibly clean...... We can't find out exactly who wants to do what. Please mourn. β
"Mourning...... Ah......h
"Yes, Miss. Preparations for the funeral of the lord should be started as soon as possible, and as a representative of the relics family, you will have a great burden on your shoulders. Please take a break as soon as possible. β
"I ...... Got it...... "Alberta's steps were a little dazed. Suddenly, she looked back, "Joan, where is he now, father?" I think, to be alone with him for a while. β
"Yes, miss. Now the lord is ...... I take a break on the second floor. β
"Oh, I see. β
Watching Alberta gradually make his way up the stairs, the butler sighed softly.
I grew up watching her. What awaits this child in front of fate?
If you can, great God, help this child through this time.
A cross was drawn on his chest, and the old butler followed Alberta's steps and went upstairs as well.
