Chapter 4: A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain (Part II)
Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, this was the first time he had obvious mood swings after seeing Zhang Xiaogang and the others.
"When we were still halfway up the mountain, you found us, and then hid Wu Guoxiong, definitely somewhere nearby."
"You'd better not do anything stupid." Chu Tianjiang's finger pressed on the trigger.
"Major, don't be nervous, we have no ill will." Luo Jinyong was a little flustered. Chu Tianjiang is a sharpshooter, and two shotgun bullets can kill him and Zhang Xiaogang.
"It is undeniable that the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Agency are responsible for Wu Haiyuan's death, and they have already paid the price for their dereliction of duty." Zhang Xiaogang picked up the cigarette on the table. "For Wu Haiyuan, you can do anything, even if it is sacrificing the rest of your life. The problem is that Wu Guoxiong is innocent, he is only six years old, and the other children live a carefree life at this age. ”
"Here, too, he's carefree."
"Really?" Zhang Xiaogang lit a cigarette, "You have a hard skill, you will definitely be able to take care of yourself and make a living by hunting and other means." Wu Guoxiong is just a child, he will grow up. Maybe it doesn't hurt for him to live away from the city, but sooner or later, he will become a man like you. Do you feel that you have the right to deprive him of the right to get an education, to make friends, to start a family? ”
"I will teach him to read and write, and I will also teach him the necessary survival skills. When he grows up, I'll let him make his own choices. ”
"Ha Lu Ha ......" Zhang Xiaogang laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Major, do you think you are a god who can dominate and dominate others at will?"
"You ......"
"Wu Guoxiong is not your son, and even if it is, you have no right to do so. Yes, you will give him a choice, but what choice will he make after more than ten years? Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly, and then said, "You have served in the Tiger Brigade for nine years, and you are willing to do anything for Wu Haiyuan." This happens to a six-year-old, what will he become when he grows up? ”
"It's not your problem, I know how to be a good father."
"Come on, Wu Guoxiong is Wu Haiyuan's son, do you think Wu Haiyuan is willing to see his only son living an isolated life in the deep mountains and old forests?"
"Wu Haiyuan's greatest wish is to let his son grow up healthily."
"What you are doing now is simply impossible for Wu Guoxiong to grow up healthily, at least mentally, he will become more and more withdrawn."
Zhang Xiaogang's words got to the point, and Chu Tianjiang did not refute it.
"Join us, I will give you a new identity and settle Wu Guoxiong properly. I can also help you with the adoption process if you wish. ”
"Xie Lu thanks you for your kindness, but I won't agree."
"For what?"
Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "Because I don't know you and don't believe what you say." ”
"You ......" Zhang Xiaogang was also a little anxious, Chu Tianjiang was indeed very stubborn.
"Five minutes have come, please come back." Chu Tianjiang stood up and pointed his double-barreled shotgun at Zhang Xiaogang, not letting his guard down at all.
"Major, you'll regret it."
"What I regret the most in my life is believing in people like you." Chu Tianjiang waved his double-barreled shotgun and let Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong go out.
Zhang Xiaogang gritted his teeth and walked towards the door.
"Major, can I say a word, just a sentence." Luo Jinyong was a little unwilling.
Chu Tianjiang lowered his gun and gave Luo Jinyong the opportunity to say the last sentence.
"What would you do if the World Realm was to be destroyed in three months, and your decision could change everyone's fate, including allowing Wu Guoxiong to grow up?"
"I've left the army, so I'll leave the big thing of saving humanity to others."
"I know that you hate the army, and you hate the Military Intelligence Bureau even more, but you love this world and hope to raise the orphans of your comrades-in-arms to grow up." Luo Jinyong said again.
Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, he promised Wu Haiyuan that he would take care of Wu Guoxiong no matter how many difficulties he encountered.
"This is my business card, with a web address on it, and the login ID and password on the back." Luo Jinyong handed a business card to Chu Tianjiang. "You don't have to make a decision right away, but I want you to think it over and make the right choice and get in touch with us."
Chu Tianjiang hesitated for a moment and accepted Luo Jinyong's business card.
Outside, the sun is setting and the night is about to fall.
When descending the mountain, the convoy travels faster.
"Do you think he's going to get in touch with us?" What happened at the beginning made Zhang Xiaogang look at Luo Jinyong with admiration.
"By the time he accepted the business card, he had already made a decision." Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "Don't worry, he will take the initiative to find us soon." ”
"Professor, I can't see it, you're still a master negotiator."
"Everyone has weaknesses, and you and I are no exception."
Zhang Xiaogang smiled, Chu Tianjiang's weakness was Wu Haiyuan's son. For Wu Guoxiong, he will do anything, even if he sacrifices his life.
On the mountain, after the convoy went away, Chu Tianjiang returned to the cabin and called out Wu Guoxiong who was hiding in the cellar.
Wu Guoxiong is very sensible, not at all like a six-year-old child. After dinner, he went to bed alone, watched TV for a while and fell asleep.
Chu Tianjiang didn't sleep, and through the satellite network, he entered the website that Luo Jinyong gave him.
It's a highly encrypted website with a very simple homepage interface and only one user login window, and the content can only be seen after logging in.
After reading the introduction on the first page, Chu Tianjiang was very shocked and immediately checked the IP address of the website.
The servers are in the data center of the Military Intelligence Directorate, authorized by the General Staff, and belong to the most confidential military intelligence network!
After eliminating his suspicions, Chu Tianjiang had to believe that the origins of Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong were not simple.
It's just that it's unbelievable!
About two and a half years ago, from late February to early March 2014, observatories in China, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Canada and Australia discovered an asteroid with a diameter of about 10 kilometers almost simultaneously, giving it the designation 2014X1.
In the astronomical world, this discovery is already quite astonishing.
Over the past few decades, astronomers have been searching for asteroids in the asteroid belt, discovering millions of asteroids with diameters of more than 10 meters.
An asteroid of this size has never been discovered before and there are many questions in itself.
Three months later, another astonishing discovery changed astronomers' perception of the asteroid and threatened human civilization like never before.
Shortly before leaving the asteroid belt, 2014X1 collided with a much smaller asteroid and its orbit changed. After careful calculations, astronomers found that the orbit of 2014X1 after the impact violated the basic laws of celestial mechanics, and this orbit was exactly towards the Earth!
If nothing else, 2014X1 will hit the Earth at the end of October 2016, two years and three months.
Next, American astronomers found that when it collided with another asteroid, 2014X1 captured part of the opponent's mass and ejected part of the mass in a specific direction, thus entering the orbit of the impact Earth, and these phenomena all violated the basic laws of celestial mechanics.
Soon, astronomers from several other countries confirmed the discovery.
There is only one conclusion: 2014X1 is an asteroid controlled by extraterrestrial intelligent life, and it may even be a spacecraft with extraterrestrial intelligent life.
At the end of July 2014, the Planetary Defense Council was established.
The Council has ten members, the ten countries that discovered 2014X1. The Council has four functional bodies, namely the "Summit of Heads of State", the "Joint Chiefs of Staff", the "Scientific Advisory Board" and the "Security Affairs Liaison Office", which are responsible for political, military, scientific and technological and security confidentiality work respectively.
Luo Jinyong is China's chief representative on the Scientific Advisory Board, Zhang Xiaogang is the special commissioner for the Security Affairs Liaison Office, and Chinese President Li Xingbang and Chief of General Staff Yang Fanglie are representatives of the other two agencies, respectively. In total, there were less than 10 Chinese official insiders and participants.
The main responsibility of the Planetary Defense Council is to develop and implement actions to defend the Earth.
Over the past two years, dozens of memorandums of understanding have been signed by ten member states within the framework of the Planetary Defense Council. For the sake of security and confidentiality, and while maintaining the basic relationship on the surface, the five nuclear powers have already built 1,000 super-nuclear warheads with a yield of up to 200 million tons from their existing nuclear weapons, and are still developing nuclear warheads with a yield of 2 billion tons, while the other five countries have contributed all the high-concentration nuclear materials.
As 2014X1 approached Earth, these nuclear warheads were humanity's main weapon of resistance to the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations.
However, more than half of the scientific advisers, including Luo Jinyong, do not hold out any hope for nuclear weapons. Extraterrestrial civilizations are capable of transstellar space travel and must have mastered a more advanced energy source than nuclear power, so the threat of nuclear weapons to extraterrestrial civilizations is minimal.
These scientific advisors all believe that humanity cannot prevent extraterrestrial civilizations from landing on Earth.
Luo Jinyong took the lead in proposing that we should prepare for a ground war and use the most advanced technology of mankind to build a military force that can compete with the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations.
Due to the limitations of the technical ceiling, scientists have focused on individual combat systems.
This is the "Doomsday Force" project.
The threat is looming, and the Joint Chiefs of General Staff has decided to form a Doomsday Force next week, with a total of ten places, one for each member state.
Chu Tianjiang immediately thought that this was the reason why Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong came to him.
"Godfather, when are we going home?"
Hearing Wu Guoxiong's words, Chu Tianjiang found that the sky had already brightened.
"Kunio, isn't it good to be here?" Chu Tianjiang pulled Wu Guoxiong over and held him in his arms.
"With my godfather, it's good anywhere, but I want to go home."
Chu Tianjiang let out a long breath, and the World Realm would be destroyed in three months. Wu Guoxiong is only six years old, his life has just begun, will it end here?
If it were replaced by Wu Haiyuan, what would he do?
Spend the last three months like an ostrich, or rise up to fight?
Holding Wu Guoxiong, Chu Tianjiang made a decision, he believed that Wu Haiyuan would do the same, because his father would be desperate to protect his son.
