A full week later, Xu Ziling, Yang Kaiming, and Li Cheng finally saw the sunshine again.

In these days, Xu Ziling has been studying things in terms of submarines, whether from the optimization point of view, or Xu Ziling himself knows, the Type 094 submarine has a lot to improve whether it is hardware or software.

But unlike the 051 experimental ship of the South China Sea Fleet, 094 is a sequence that is in service and performing tasks, even if Xu Ziling has the courage to change the relevant software system, Captain Li and they dare not agree, so he only gave them some opinions in some aspects, and promised to go and see it when he returned to China, and did not change anything in it.

"Take care!"

"See you back home!"

After a brief farewell to Captain Li and the others, Xu Ziling and the three of them got on the rubber boat and rowed towards the shore, and when they left a hundred meters, No. 653, which surfaced, had quietly dived underwater, and disappeared in the dark night.

The location where they are is the north west coast of California, when the location of Zhilu Road is here, Xu Ziling was silent for a while, he remembered that he had also been here once the year before last, and that time it was also the three of them together, the difference is that that it was by plane, and this time it would come in such a way.

There were still a few hundred meters from the shore, and Yang Kaiming motioned for a few people to stop.

"What?"

Xu Ziling and Li Chengdu were a little puzzled by his actions.

But as soon as he finished asking, he saw Yang Kaiming looking at the tactical watch, which turned out to be to observe the situation on the shore.

In fact, there is no need for him to come, Xu Ziling has already let the lion scan, there are indeed people on the shore, but there is only one, except for the four people who are with them, there is no figure within a few kilometers.

"Alright, signal."

Looking at the tactical watch, Yang Kaiming quickly confirmed that there was no abnormality, which made Li Cheng send a code.

After listening to Yang Kaiming's words, Li Cheng immediately took out a flashlight, aimed at the shore and flashed a few times, and the person in charge of answering the shore has also been paying attention to the sea, and when he saw their signal, he immediately flashed a few times, and saw that the code was right, and the three of them continued to row.

A few minutes later, Xu Ziling and the others arrived at the shore, and the person in charge of answering them immediately ran over, saying, "Come with me in the car, the next patrol boat will be there soon." While hurriedly helping them pack up the rubber boat.

A few people knew that now was not the time to speak, so they hurriedly packed their things, followed the answerer, and got into a car that he hid in the woods next to him.

The car started, and the person who answered the car did not turn on the headlights, so it was in the dark, and it was not until the wide road a kilometer away that the headlights were turned on.

"Hello, my name is Lao Hu, I didn't expect to wait for you today." The car left the coast, and he was not afraid of being discovered by the patrol officers, so the receiver opened his mouth.

Lao Hu looks like he should be in his fifties, his temples are a little pale, but his face and clothes are quite good, and he looks like he is living quite well in the United States.

"Hello, Lao Hu."

The three of them hurriedly said their code names, and they had a lot of respect for people like Lao Hu.

"By the way, Lao Hu, why did you just say that you will wait for us today, what do you mean?" They are all their own people, and after chatting for a few sentences, everyone became familiar with it, Xu Ziling remembered what he said just now, I don't know what Lu Dao means, isn't the time to answer determined?

Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng also had the same question, and seeing that Xu Ziling asked it, the two of them also set their eyes on Lao Hu.

"The family didn't give me the exact time for you to come, but it just said that today at the earliest, it won't be more than three days at the latest, if you haven't arrived for more than three days, it means that the mission has been canceled." Lao Hu was driving the car, and his question to them was very strange, and after answering, he seemed to remember something, "This is considering the possibility that you have been delayed on the road." ”

"Oh!"

After listening to his explanation, the three of them suddenly realized, and at the same time a little ashamed, they really had never been exposed to such a sneaking method before, and they didn't think about whether the voyage would go smoothly, this is really empiricism kills people.

After a two-hour drive, Lao Hu carried several people through the mountains in the west, changed a car in a mountain forest, and then continued to drive east, and it took another hour to come to a house where Lao Hu came.

The house is a typical rice style, all made of wood, and a small courtyard is fenced outside.

"There is no one around here for a few kilometers, you can live here with confidence."

After parking the car in the garage, Lao Hu led a few people into the house.

After entering the house and turning on the light, Xu Ziling and the others clearly saw the traces of cleaning up in the house, "Lao Hu, you don't usually live here." ”

"Don't stop." Lao Hu took out a few cans of wine from the refrigerator, gave them to a few people, took a can himself, opened it and drank it, and then said: "There is no tea here, just drink this, the house was bought a few years ago, used as a safe house, and occasionally brought my family here for vacation, I haven't been here for a long time, I only cleared it out a few days ago." ”

A few people sat down, each drank half a can of beer in one gulp, this week in the submarine, although the food is good, but there are not many tricks, so that they feel that the beer that they usually don't drink much is extremely delicious.

"And what are you doing here?"

This time it was Yang Kaiming who asked, although a few people talked a lot in the car, but all of them talked about domestic things, all of them were asked by Lao Hu, and the three of them replied that for people who have not returned to China for many years, of course they will understand him, and they have not inquired about Lao Hu's affairs, at this time, I heard that he can afford to buy a few houses, Yang Kaiming is naturally a little curious.

"Doctor!" Lao Hu looked proud, and he could see that he was very satisfied with his current profession, "According to the domestic title, I am also at the level of a professor." ”

"Then how did you do this?"

None of them understood how a doctor could have been involved with a spy.

"That's a long story." He has buried this matter in his heart for 30 years, and for the first time he can confide in the object, Lao Hu said it like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, of course, before saying it, he didn't forget to take out a few breads and throw them to a few people, saying that he would fill his stomach first, "I was less than twenty years old at the time......

Ten minutes later, Xu Ziling and the three of them looked at each other after listening to what Lao Hu said.

It's really a coincidence, Lao Hu is actually from Xingcheng, and he is from the same town as Xu Ziling and Li Cheng, but they are just different villages, and it is even more coincidental that he was once the first batch of students of the National Academy of Sciences, but it was just the kind of secret file.

When Lao Hu was less than 20 years old, he happened to be admitted to UCAS during the college entrance examination, but he didn't expect a secret department to take a fancy to Lao Hu, whose parents died at that time, so he discussed with him and asked him if he was willing to work for the country.

So he was put on the name of a medical student and sent to the United States.

"What's wrong with you? Got me talking about something? ”

Seeing the strange expressions of the three people, Lao Hu wondered.

"There's a problem, and it's a big one." Yang Kaiming looked at Xu Ziling and Li Cheng, and replied to Lao Hu with a smile, "You said that you are from Star City, and so are the three of us, and the two of them are in the same town as you." ”

The four joys of life, the second place in the hometown of the hometown, seeing the Chinese people in the same country, Lao Hu was happy enough, but he didn't expect to meet three little fellow villagers, two of which were not a few miles away from his hometown, such unexpected surprises made him speechless.

After a long time, he muttered: "This problem is really big." Immediately, he told Xu Ziling and Li Cheng the name of the village in his hometown, and asked the two if they knew about it.

Li Cheng has been growing up outside, and when he grew up, he joined the army, and he rarely returned to his hometown, so he naturally didn't know what to do, but Xu Ziling grew up there and was very familiar with the village where Lao Hu was, and the most coincidental thing was that the two villages were adjacent.

"That's a coincidence!"

When it was said that Lao Hu's village was next door to Xu Ziling's village, Yang Kaiming sighed again.

Chatting again, Xu Ziling also knew all the things about Lao Hu: after he arrived in the United States, he entered the famous medical school in the United States to study, and at the same time collected some scientific and technological intelligence, but after a few years, the relationship between the two countries began to deteriorate, and he had the opportunity to return to China, but in order to carry out the work to the end, he had entered the medical community in the United States, and chose to continue to stay.

The change in the relationship between the two countries, his work became more difficult, he had to be more careful than before, and he also reduced his contact with the country, but because of his achievements in medical skills, he successfully became an authentic Chinese person, and finally chose a Chinese girl to get married and have children, until now.

"It's been thirty-two years until this year." Lao Hu also sighed about his spy career, "Fortunately, when I finish this time, I can go home, which can be regarded as a return to the roots." ”

"What about your family? Are they willing to give up their lives here and go back to China? ”

"They? What's not to want to go back to? Although their nationality is the United States, they are complete descendants of Yan and Huang in their bones. Lao Hu's words were full of domineering, and he also expressed his pride in being a descendant of Yan and Huang, "I'm just a doctor, since fifteen years ago, I'm no longer in charge of intelligence search, it's really lurking, so many years, my family has contacted me three times, the most recent one was five years ago, if it wasn't for this time I received the news that I asked me to answer you, I would have almost forgotten my own identity." ”

Lao Hu also had his bitterness, and the atmosphere became a little heavy as he spoke, which made Xu Ziling and the others suddenly feel a little sad.
