Chapter 8: The Real War
The legendary time and space tunnel in Beijing in winter can be said to be extremely cold, Qin Xi feels that she doesn't keep warm no matter how much she wears, she has always lived in the south before, and now it is terrible to spend the winter in Beijing.
Her family is all in Wuzhen, and she grew up in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River since she was a child, so she always has a quiet and graceful temperament.
When she spoke, she was innocent, she had a beautiful little round face, she was a little chubby since she was a child, but when she grew up, she was thin, and her face was still round.
In the blink of an eye, it has entered the depths of winter, and the military scientific research base is in full swing, and the research here is all relatively dangerous things.
The time machine has not been used since it was dug up, after all, it is beyond the scope of modern science, there are no instructions for use, I don't know the potential safety hazards, the machine is surrounded by H radiation, and the slogan that just flashes on the screen does not allow scientists to take the risk of trying.
That night, Xiao An took Qin Xi to the base, in fact, Qin Xi was stalking him with a dead face, Xiao An couldn't do anything about him, even if she didn't look for him, she would sneak in by herself, after all, she was a parkour master.
The scientific research base is located in the suburbs of Beijing, where it is located in a remote area, there are no buildings around, some are just some small buildings of special forces training grounds, most of the country's military training grounds are distributed in the north, the environment is treacherous.
Qin Xi saw many familiar people here, and most of those scientists were first-class scientists who went to Guangzhou together.
None of them died, and it should be said that there was definitely a special plane sent by the state at that time to pick up scientists.
If Hitler had not hated Jews so much, then where would Einstein go to the United States?
The second floor of scientific research is a research and development area, and the research and development is a state secret, and no one can come in casually, Qin Xi dressed as a man and dressed in a black agent suit, and followed Xiao An as a little brother.
Qin Xi told Xiao An at first that he wanted to sneak in to see what the country's scientific research center was like, and asked him to take her in disguise.
Unexpectedly, Xiao An agreed after thinking about it, which made Qin Xi suddenly have a sense of déjà vu as a brother in distress.
In fact, she and Xiao An don't usually talk much, she is very verbose, but Xiao An is not good at expressing herself, and the two of them will always speak and listen when they stand together.
Since the H explosion incident passed, Xiao An seemed to have completely become Qin Xi's exclusive bodyguard, and followed Qin Xi all day long.
Qin Xi knew that it was Old Man Jian who didn't worry about Qin Xi, and said that it was protection on the surface, but in fact, it was surveillance inside.
She once saw Xiao An calling outside the door to report.
When following Xiao An to the unmanned corridor, Qin Xi grabbed Xiao An's sleeve and whispered with a distorted expression: "I'm in a hurry, where is the toilet?" ”
The corners of Xiao An's mouth twitched, and he pointed to the front and said, "Go straight, turn left." ”
After Xiao An finished speaking, he only felt that a gust of wind hung in front of him, and there was no Qin Xi beside him.
Qin Xi hurriedly found the toilet and got in, she had to sigh that this toilet was really high-end, just like a high-end toilet in the presidential suite.
After she came out, she found that there was a fork in the road at the intersection in front of her, she had long forgotten which direction she was running from at that time, all four roads were the same, and Xiao An didn't know where to run.
Qin Xi chose the road on the right, and he didn't see Xiao An for half a day, and there were closed R&D rooms everywhere.
She wasn't in a hurry to find him, she was originally here to open her eyes, so she walked around slowly, pretending to be cold if she met a guard, she was wearing an intelligence bureau agent uniform, so it was naturally easy to get through, otherwise it was estimated that she would have been shot as an enemy spy or outlaw.
She wandered from the second floor to the seventh floor, getting more and more bored, and the R&D room had security doors with eyeball scanners installed on them, which only the senior R&D staff in the house had.
She wanted to take a blasting device out of her pocket like the heroes on TV and stick it to the fantasy of blowing it up, but apparently she didn't have the guts.
But there's more to it than that.
Half an hour later, a thief-headed staff member appeared on the sixth floor, dressed in blue overalls, poking his head out and looking around.
Qin Xi stole his work clothes out of nowhere, wearing an isolation mask, looking like a rigorous scientific researcher.
She soon followed the staff into an R&D room.
She suddenly felt a little excited.
This is not an R&D room, but a nuclear contamination isolation room.
The room was full of scientific research equipment, and in the middle was a silver-white machine, which was the time machine she dug up.
Next to it is a device to detect nuclear contamination and connected to a computer.
Three or two staff members didn't know what they were fiddling around, they were all busy, she walked to the computer, deliberately holding a pen to record something, and after a while, those staff members went out separately, and no one paid attention to the weird Qin Xi in the corner.
People here have a clear division of labor, so they don't think much about it.
When the footsteps outside were far away, Qin Xi immediately ripped off her mask, picked up her mobile phone and slapped at the machine, she didn't come last time and took pictures, which made her feel annoyed.
"Time, time, you are so beautiful!"
Qin Xi calls it Time in private, she is a weird guy who loves names very much.
For novelty things, no one can resist curiosity, and Qin Xi is the same.
"I'll give it a try."
Qin Xi muttered to himself.
She followed the instructions above, first set the tunnel time at 8:30 on December 7, 1941 and 8:30 on December 9, 1941, and then entered Europe at the regional controller.
After she got this, she was hesitant to start it and take a look, but she didn't have the guts.
If you don't activate it, there will be no one at the portal anyway, and it will only bring a cloud of air with you.
Just when she hesitated, the whole building suddenly sounded an alarm, and then there was the sound of a crowd running, and there were guards outside the door, as if there was a fire, such a national military scientific research base, can also have a fire?
It only took a minute for such a big change to happen, she leaned on the door and listened to the movement, although she didn't know what was happening, but if she was discovered, she would be dead, and she would definitely be arrested and shot as a spy or everything.
"Let's go to the isolation room."
Xiao An's cold voice suddenly exploded in Qin Xi's ears.
It's over, if Xiao An finds out that he looks sneaky, he must recognize himself as an outlaw, if the previous surveillance didn't find anything, then now he has confirmed his potential danger.
A person who survived the nuclear explosion unscathed, a person who is not afraid of nuclear radiation, in the national scientific research base, happened to be on fire, just in the isolation room, that picture, even if she has a thousand mouths, she can't tell clearly.
Qin Xi panicked now, seeing the footsteps rushing outside the door, her feet were weak, and her hands subconsciously pushed back.
"Drop"
With a bang, the time console made a loud noise, which was deafening.
She turned to see that the dim lights on the stage suddenly lit up one by one, and the portal opened.
This situation in front of her was something Qin Xi never expected, she felt that she was in trouble, and she found that there was a start button, but it didn't stop.
No wonder it says: once set, you can't change it.
What choices do people usually make in that situation?
This refers to a person with a clear head, if it is Qin Xi who is in a panic, it is another matter, many, many years later, when she recalls this scene, she will still smile sourly at the choice at that time.
When she involuntarily walked into the portal, the door of the isolation room had been opened, and she saw Xiao An's ice cube for the first time with a panicked face, and the door quickly closed, she only heard Xiao An shouting her name, shouting very loudly.
Time sets sail at this moment, and the gears of history change here.
The real war stars were bleak and boundless, and she moved at the speed of light in a dark tunnel covered with starlight, changing things in front of her so fast that she couldn't see clearly.
When she opened her eyes again, she was almost stunned by what happened in front of her.
She didn't know where she was, her ears were filled with the screams of gunfire and a large number of charging soldiers.
She was so eye-catching in a blue hazmat suit that the air was filled with the smell of burnt blood, everyone kept screaming and sprinting, and no one noticed that there was a strange person on the battlefield.
"Bang"
With a sound, a grenade fell ten meters away from Qin Xi, she screamed, and hid in the ravine, which was a small hill piled up by corpses, she shivered and hid underneath, she raised her eyes and saw a dead man who had been blown up beyond recognition facing her.
“go!”
Qin Xi saw a black soldier roaring, and then brandished his spear and led the rest of the soldiers to rush up again, some of those soldiers had gauze wrapped around their legs, and the gauze had turned black.
Those are wounded soldiers!
There were also many fighter jets hovering in the sky, and she recognized the Japanese logo on the plane.
It was constantly firing bombs, and Qin Xi's guts were about to be frightened, if she stayed here any longer, she would definitely be blown away.
She didn't know which country Japan was fighting against, but it was definitely not China, and all that caught her ears was English and American.
She had set up Europe in the first place, and she didn't have time to think about where it was now.
The battle continued, screams came one after another, and the remnants of the group that had just rushed forward were all killed, and the remaining soldiers were still struggling to hold on.
In addition to the corpse, there was black smoke around, and the color in her eyes was all black, and her blue body was really too conspicuous, and she rolled on the ground without hesitation.
With that done, she took refuge in a stranded battleship not far away.
She found that there were many battleships, cruisers, and many planes, almost all of which were damaged and incapacitated.
She finds a soldier who is still gasping for breath and asks him where this is in her broken English.
The soldier was dying, and she shook him vigorously and asked him where he was.
When the soldier says "Hawaii"
In three words, it was completely dead.
Hawaii?
Is this Hawaii?
The bombers in the sky are still bombing other cruisers and submarines, it is just a battle with a huge disparity in strength, if Qin Xi remembers correctly, the cause of the outbreak of the Pacific War was Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the US naval base in Hawaii!
Qin Xi felt that his life was like a plug-in, and he could actually see this historic scene when he was alive.
If Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbor to the death, the United States might have remained silent and would not have dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, and the world might not have been like this.
She glanced at her watch, it was almost nine o'clock, and there were explosions in the sea from time to time, and she knew that it was a Japanese submarine that was dropping torpedoes on the American troops, and at this time, the American destroyers who rushed to the rescue were constantly dropping depth charges, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being bombed and stranded.
Smoke billowed from all around, choking her tears.
The explosions came one after another, and in a few minutes, the Japanese planes hit three times not far from her feet, and they banged and banged, and if she hadn't experienced the H explosion, she might have really fainted.
Can't stay any longer, when she was about to leave, a big hand suddenly grabbed her ankle, she screamed, turned her head and saw a pair of bloody hands grabbing him, she subconsciously broke free, and he grabbed tighter.
A male voice came from inside, and the voice was full of forbearance, "Helpme......"
Qin Xi bent down and looked, it turned out that there was another injured person in this stranded battleship.
He lay on the ground, and this upward angle was just enough to see Qin Xi hiding outside.
He grabbed her feet and kept talking about saving him.
How is she going to save him?
You can't save yourself.
Then the man looked at her and kept saying "Pleasehelpme......"
Qin Xi couldn't break free of his hand, there were stray bullets everywhere, she could only squat down and yell at him in an atmosphere: "Let go of me"
She didn't know if he could understand, anyway, he couldn't be Chinese like that.
"Help me!"
After Qin Xi finished yelling, the man actually saved him in fluent Chinese.
There was blood oozing from his forehead, his deep eyes looked at her fixedly, and said: "The Chinese are all kind people, and they will not die for the injured!" ”
Qin Xi didn't know where he got the fallacy, but since he said so, a feeling of love suddenly surged in her heart, be a good person, anyway, she will go back in two days, and she can be regarded as a good thing in history, although it is not known.
His left leg was completely crushed by the blown down control platform, no wonder he couldn't get out of lying on the ground.
Qin Xi was also responsible for dragging a foreigner of more than one meter and eight meters out of the wreckage while dodging stray bullets and bombing, which was definitely the craziest thing she had ever done.
finally dragged him out, and dragged him up and leaned on him with difficulty, with heavy steps.
In this half hour, the battle entered the white heat, many American fighters and allied cruisers who arrived in a hurry participated in the battle, the sound of bombing was incessant, and the surroundings were pitch black, and it turned out that the real battlefield was like this.
There was no pity, no hesitation, no stop, and in the face of the threat, every soldier rushed towards the plane bomb without hesitation.
Batch after batch of lives fell, and batch after batch of fresh lives were thrown into battle.
Qin Xi dragged him away from the center of the battlefield and walked towards the outer woods.
Her fair face was already covered with blood unconsciously.
The gunfire around him continued, but despite the fact that they were far away, Qin Xi found a dilapidated air-raid shelter, which was crowded with citizens around Pearl Harbor.
Finding a vacant seat, she put the man down from her shoulder, the strength in her body was gone, and the whole person exhaled.
The man had fallen into a coma, still oozing blood from his head and blood on his left foot.
She didn't have anything, so she had to ask the person next to her for a little gauze and wound medicine, and when Qin Xi finished bandaging him, he was already tired and panting.
She hadn't learned how to save lives, but she could still try bandaging this kind of thing.
The dilapidated air-raid shelter was cold and damp, and Qin Xi still felt cold when she shrank in a place where there were more people, but the man in a coma lying next to her was different, and he slept so cold.
The people around are constantly praying, some are calling God to bless, and some are constantly shouting Allah Allah ~ This raid was not extinguished until about twelve o'clock at noon, Qin Xi's historical memory of World War II is not very deep, and he can only piece together some of the content in the history class in the brain.
Even so, the people in the cave did not dare to go out lightly, and they would stop eating if they could not ensure that one of them flew into trouble.
Qin Xi tore off a piece of the corner of his clothes, stirred it in the quagmire, and wiped it on the man's dark face, Qin Xi didn't pay attention to what he looked like, when he rescued him, he was full of smoke, all of them were gray-faced, and he had to rely on his tall body to recognize a man.
After a few wipes, the man's handsome and three-dimensional facial features were immediately revealed.
Qin Xi's judgment at first glance was: This is a foreigner!
Well, in the eyes of the people of Pearl Harbor, Qin Xi is also a foreigner in their eyes.
That man has a standard foreigner's face and a strong and tall body, three-dimensional and resolute facial contours, deep eyes, a tall nose, and neat short hair sprinkled on his forehead.
