Chapter 248: The Shelter (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
"Lao Zhao! Old Don! Old Zhou! ”
As before, Li Xiao, who saw his old friend, was particularly enthusiastic, and took the initiative to stretch out his hands and hug his three friends. Although Zhao Minghui and Tang Zhiqiang were stunned when they saw Li Xiao's uniform, they quickly recovered the kind of casualness that the four of them were together back then, especially Zhao Minghui hugged Li Xiao hard and patted him on the back, blaming him for being missing for several years, and he didn't know where he ran in the past few years, and he didn't even hear from him.
"No way, we have discipline at work, let alone contact you, I usually have to apply in advance when I call home." Li Xiao replied with a smile, and then beckoned his old friends to sit, and took the initiative to serve two cups of coffee and a cup of tea.
"Old Tang, I know you only drink tea, and the coffee is for Lao Zhao and Lao Zhou, don't you mind?" Li Xiaole pointed to coffee and tea, of course Tang Zhiqiang wouldn't mind, he took a sip of tea, this tea smelled fragrant, and the taste was surprisingly good, Tang Zhiqiang was also an old tea guest, but he couldn't drink what kind of tea it was.
Raising his eyebrows, Tang Zhiqiang was about to ask about the origin of this tea, but Zhao Minghui opened his mouth first.
"When we met in Shimen, I remember that you were in graduate school, and then I stayed in school for you, why did you suddenly join the army? Where have you been all these years? Why don't you even have any news, I went to look for you when I went back to Shimen the year before last, and the school couldn't find out where you went. ”
"Hehe, that's a long way to say." Li Xiao smiled and said: "To put it simply, I went to a national-level scientific research institution back then, and later was transferred because of work, and this military uniform is the result of the transfer, in fact, this military uniform does not represent anything, but because the unit is related to the army, so I was given such a military rank." ”
Li Xiao said very simply. Although Zhao Minghui still wanted to ask in his heart, he didn't continue to ask in the end. After all, Li Xiao is now a soldier, and he also mentioned just now that their management is relatively strict, with the relationship between the four of them, if Li Xiao can say it, it will definitely be said, and there is a reason why he doesn't talk about it.
"That's right, Li Xiao. We came here to arrange for you, right? Zhou Lin interjected.
Li Xiao nodded, Zhao Minghui and the three of them looked at Li Xiao with inquiring and puzzled eyes, as friends, they knew very well that Li Xiao would not harm them, let alone find them from the south and north of the world to this ghost place for no reason, if he did this, there must be a reason, as for what reason, the three of them are still puzzled.
"I apologize to everyone first, because I didn't have time to inform everyone in advance because of the urgency of time." Who would have thought that Li Xiao stood up before explaining, and bowed to the three of them sincerely.
"I said Lao Li, we don't blame you. It's just that it's so sudden and weird. I'm single, the whole family is not hungry when I eat alone, it doesn't matter where I go, but Minghui and Lao Zhou are different, they are both family and mouthful, even if you have a reason, you have to say hello in advance, not to mention what will they do if they leave their family and career like this? ”
"You're right, it's me who didn't think it through." Li Xiao nodded when he heard Tang Zhiqiang say this. Then he sighed: "At first, I wanted to ask everyone's opinions first, but suddenly there was no time. So this is the only way to go. ”
"What the hell is going on, Li Xiao, everyone is not an outsider, you must have an explanation for arranging for us to come here for no reason, right? My wife hasn't come back to her senses yet, and you all have your own jobs, so you can't stay here for no reason, right? "Zhao Minghui didn't want to listen to so many words that went around and around. What he wanted to know most was the reason, and he immediately asked straight to the point.
"Work? Hehe. Li Xiao smiled bitterly, then shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you, in the future, you and your family will start a new life here, including your work ......." ”
"What do you mean?" The three of them looked at each other. Zhao Minghui's face changed even more, could it be that Li Xiao wanted to put them under house arrest? But he soon dispelled this idea again, as a friend for many years, he couldn't imagine Li Xiao's purpose for doing this, and the three of them were not important people, including their family members were ordinary people.
"Actually, you will know about this sooner or later, I brought you here today to meet with old friends, and secondly, to tell you about this, so that everyone can be mentally prepared." Li Xiao's expression slowly became solemn, he first asked the three of them if they knew anything about alien civilizations, of course the three of them had heard of it, and a few years ago there was a lot of trouble, and even established the Earth Alliance organization and the Earth Space Fleet for this purpose, but after all, this matter is too far away from ordinary people, and whether it is true or false Who can tell clearly, just like the rumors of the "end of the world" back then, in the end, it is not just a joke?
But who would have thought that Li Xiao would solemnly tell them that this is not a rumor, let alone a joke, the war of the alien civilization against the earth is about to begin, maybe the warships of the alien civilization will come to the earth in a few days, and the earth civilization will face the most critical moment. In the face of a formidable opponent, no one can guarantee whether the earthlings will be able to defend their homeland from invasion, so no one can answer what the outcome of this war will be.
"You're not kidding, are you?"
"You think I'm joking?" Li Xiao asked rhetorically in the face of the three people who were stunned.
"This ...... This...... Wait a minute! I'm a little confused in my head, you mean aliens are coming soon? Zhao Minghui's face was a little ugly, and he asked.
"That's right! Right away! In fact, you don't know that there was a conflict in the solar system a few months ago, in which a warship of the Earth Space Fleet was destroyed by the other side, and all the officers and soldiers on it were killed ....... Speaking of which, Li Xiao was a little gloomy, the death of the Fengxiang was accused of being in a very small range, but Li Xiao, who is a senior researcher at the Northwest Base, is one of the insiders, not to mention that there is no need to hide this news now, because as he said, the war is about to start in full swing.
No one can predict what the final outcome of this battle for the defense of the earth will be, and the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, and the possibility of the defeat of the earth civilization is very high. Therefore, in the past, the members of the Earth Alliance had an emergency plan, which was to build shelters in various places to accommodate some elites as the seeds of Earth civilization. This will be the preparation of the resistance of the earth civilization, and it is also the hope for the future rise of the earth civilization once it is defeated, and the place where they are now is a refuge, or an underground base, the entire base is built with the northwest base as the core, with perfect living, working, scientific research, manufacturing and other areas, plus rich reserves and circulation systems, enough to make the entire base accommodate up to 800,000 soldiers and civilians to survive, almost a small and complete society.
Zhao Minghui, Tang Zhiqiang, and Zhou Lin can be regarded as elites in all aspects, but after all, there are too many elites in the whole of China, and Li Xiao, as a good friend, directly used his authority and put the three of them, including their families, into the list. This was the case when the three of them were suddenly brought to this place, and when they learned the cause and effect, the three of them were stunned and speechless for a long time. (To be continued......)
