012 Old man, entrusted
The headquarters of the Vietnam Independence Organization may be a good place for Chinese spies, but for Su Yuan, it is boring. The cookie-cutter decoration, the closed doors, the soldiers who passed by with a large pile of documents with expressionless faces refused to even look at Su Yuan, Su Yuan really didn't know what to see here.
Su Yuan came to the restaurant connected to the backyard and stopped at the door. A chicken jumped on the windowsill and greeted Su Yuan with its big wings through two layers of glass, Su Yuan didn't know how it "escaped" from the chicken shed, and he didn't have the heart to care about it, so he continued to wander aimlessly in the school-like building, and before he knew it, he was on the other side of the building.
At the end of the staircase is a staircase that can be seen at both ends and in the middle of the building, and below the stairs is a utility room stacked with brooms and mops - like that in the other two places. This one, it seems, is a little different. The bottom of the stairs was empty, and the black hole looked like it was going to suck Su Yuan in.
Here, there is actually a downward passage hidden!
Su Yuan cautiously walked down the stairs, turned around, turned back, turned back again, and turned back again, the depth of the stairs was beyond his imagination, and he couldn't even remember how far he had walked. Finally, he came to a rusty iron gate, on either side of which stood two soldiers of Yue Du, and the corner of the cracked ceiling was dripping with water, like a prison a thousand years ago.
The two soldiers glanced at Su Yuan in surprise, and their eyes slowly moved to the badge on Su Yuan's chest, and then they saluted Su Yuan with a very hesitant movement.
Su Yuan felt that he should return the salute, so he used very stiff movements to learn to compare with the two soldiers, but the two soldiers were startled. There was no way, seeing that the two of them had no intention of stopping him, Su Yuan had no choice but to walk over.
Behind the iron gate was a long corridor, and when Su Yuan entered, the lights inside were lit up. Su Yuan rubbed his eyes, and what he saw made him feel excited. It wasn't because he was excited to discover any secrets, but simply because he was excited to see a majestic scene - he had never seen such a huge underground project, even if he used his ability, he couldn't find its full picture, what subway, underground shopping mall, in front of it was like an ant
If Su Yuan was asked to choose a title, Su Yuan would call it so: "Dungeon".
"You're here."
An old man greeted Su Yuan in Chinese. Seeing the wheelchair that the old man was sitting in and his clothes, Su Yuan was shocked.
"Are you ......?"
"I'm the person you want to meet, and you're the person I'm going to meet."
The voices of an old man and a young man echoed in the empty space. The old man pushed the squeaky old wheelchair hard and came to Su Yuan, took out a pair of reading glasses from the pocket hanging on the wheelchair, put them on, and looked at Su Yuan, who was stabbed by his eyes. Long.
"Hmph, that girl ......"
The old man complained inexplicably, and then questioned Su Yuan in a very serious voice:
"My daughter wants you to see me?"
"Well, probably."
"She didn't tell you that no one is allowed to know about its existence?"
"No, I found it myself."
“…… Haha," the old man smiled lovingly, "that girl is still so stupid." ”
“???” Su Yuan's eyes widened, and he didn't know why.
"She, since she was a child, as long as she says something, she will definitely listen, I say that no outsiders are allowed to know here, she will definitely not say it, what a stupid girl. Look at that chapter on your chest. ”
Su Yuan pinched the metal disc on his chest, and didn't think there was anything strange.
"This is my birthday present to her back then, and I put it on for her with my own hands, and now, hehe, the whole team will only have her wearing this every time to see me."
The old man's tone was a little lonely, and Su Yuan also understood why the two guards at the door saluted him at this time, it turned out that in their eyes, this badge represented their highest commander!
"Since the girl can take a fancy to you, I, a layman, won't say much. Chinese, huh? ”
The old man's voice rose sharply, Su Yuan nodded hurriedly, and the old man who saw Su Yuan's reaction laughed.
"Nationality doesn't matter, I'm curious that after so many censuses, only newborns like the girl will be left to us, since you are a magician who can be valued by the girl, you must have a way out in China." So, why are you here? ”
In the late 21st century, the concept of the "census" has become less simple than it once was, and even its fundamental purpose has changed. Investigating the number of people, the ratio of men to women, etc., is just an excuse, and the drunkard does not mean to drink, but the real purpose is to tap the talent reserve of magicians. It's not just China that's doing it, it's just a government all over the world that still has the ability to do it, and a government that has the ambition to take the lead in the world's talent competition is doing it, and decades have passed, even a big country like China has already been emptied of its talents. Su Yuan didn't fail to understand the old man's concerns.
"I just want to go abroad, and I'll be leaving soon."
"Hehe, they're all here, how can you do it without a visit."
The old man quietly diverted the topic, Su Yuan took the initiative to take the old man's wheelchair, pushed the old man through most of the corridor, and looked back to see the place where he came in.
Warehouses, kitchens, hospitals, collective dormitories, Su Yuan recognized countless facilities along the way, and there were many places where he couldn't tell the purpose just by looking at them.
"It's huge." The old man said lightly.
"Hmm." Su Yuan responded.
"If it weren't for the fact that China hadn't violated the pre-war treaty, you wouldn't have seen it here. The building above was originally a factory, which was destroyed by missiles during the war, and what you see is what was later rebuilt. ”
After the old man's words, Su Yuan's eyes appeared in front of the school-like building, which actually felt like a sea of vicissitudes. Who would have thought that not so long ago, this was a factory with the sound of machines?
"The Chinese are waiting."
“……?”
The old man said this sentence so abruptly, Su Yuan didn't react for a while.
The old man smiled.
"In a few years, even the 30 to 40 age group will be filled with people born after the war, who have no sense of the past, and we are losing the hearts and minds of the people. This is a dead end, and it will probably not be long before the city's schools will be sent Chinese teachers. ”
"But you're still resisting."
"yes, why should we resist?"
The unexpected rhetorical question stunned Su Yuanwen.
"Why should we resist a lose-losing situation? When it comes to equipment, we're still stuck a few decades ago; In terms of soldiers, there is only one division that we can really fight; In terms of war potential, we are not even one thousandth of others, so why should we resist? ”
The old man smiled, and Su Yuan's heart was cold with laughter.
"Because only by resisting can we not be underestimated; Only when we come together at this time can we not be separated in the future; Only if we do not surrender our weapons at this time can we still have them in the future; Only by holding on to power at this time can we retain a part of it in the future! We resist to tell Chinese that we are not a new government, not a puppet controlled by them, not a fish to be slaughtered!! ”
The old man's hoarse shouts echoed in the corridor for a long time, and a nurse ran out of the underground hospital in a hurry and said something to the old man, it turned out that the old man was not the only one here.
"That ......" Su Yuan was a little embarrassed.
"Nothing." The old man waved his hand, "Did you hear what you just said?" Don't tell the girl now, she doesn't understand. All I told her were slogans, propaganda. In life, there must always be a pursuit. ”
Su Yuan nodded, and the old man turned his wheelchair, stretched out his right arm and patted Su Yuan's shoulder.
"Okay, I really hope that there will be more young people like you in my team."
The old man's heartfelt compliment made Su Yuan blush. Before they knew it, they were back at the entrance.
"Goodbye, maybe goodbye."
"Huh......?"
"Hehe," the old man smiled, showing his teeth, "the paralysis of the lower limbs was ten years ago, and my disease is cancer, and she doesn't know it." The medical conditions here are not good, if there is still treatment in your country, I will wait for death here, and I will soon wait for the end. ”
The old man sighed and said:
"I'm not the girl's biological father, and I don't have the right to name her and take care of her life's events. Since the girl has taken a fancy to you, the girl will entrust it to you. ”
Then, regardless of Su Yuan, he left alone, and Su Yuan didn't chase after him.
Back on the ground, it was still the same building, but Su Yuan felt that everything had changed a lot.
Maybe it wasn't until many days later that Su Yuan would recall some of the details in the old man's last words, and now he didn't think too much about it.
(Go see Elf.) )
Thinking so, Su Yuan walked straight to their residence.
