Chapter 68
The Mi-24 hung an iron box and swept through the Afghan land at full speed in the dark at an altitude of two hundred meters.
Now it is Ro' who flies the plane. The Russians always had a lot of potential to tap into, and they were surprisingly durable, and considering that the threat on the ground had not been lifted, all of them ended up in helicopters. When flying in the air, both ACE and Ma Xibei were worried about the strange sounds coming from the engine and fuselage, and Sun Guo, who had never piloted a helicopter, did not know where the danger of flying like this was, so he seemed very relieved.
Their respective backpacks were burned when the car exploded, so everyone was left with only the equipment and *** they were carrying, but the M-14 rifle of Luo 'Men' was the most sufficient, and if anything happened again, they could only use grenades to deal with the enemy.
"Don't let anything happen, I don't even have the strength to speak." ACE leaned weakly against the bulkhead. "If anything happens, I'm tired to death."
Ma Xibei glanced at ACE and did not speak.
He was checking his rifle and putting together a full one of the bullets in the unfinished magazine, noticing that he had put the empty magazine back on.
"As if you still have a chance to replenish yourself." ACE couldn't help but ask him. "Aren't you too much of a burden?"
"Who is this 'woman'?" Ma Northwest ignored his question.
"This is an agent of the 13th Office, who is said to only operate overseas, and is Director An's personal trump card." ACE LAUGHED. "This 'woman' is very beautiful, do you like her?"
"She's prettier than Sophie."
There was no expression on Ma Xixi's face, but the look in his eyes showed that the sentence was not unintentional.
"You also know what it means to be pretty." ACE scolded him in annoyance. "Have you ever had a 'woman'?"
Ma Xixi laughed and did not answer ACE's words.
After a while, ACE said sullenly:
'You know what?' Hummingbirds' want to quit. He's going home and picking up the baby. ”
Ma Xibei looked at ACE in surprise.
"If he withdraws, then we have to quit too. Now the situation is different, I don't want to be commanded by anyone or to command anyone who is not trained in the same way, and I have to admit that I don't have the patience and conscious 'nature' of Romon. Ace looked at Ma Xibei. I won't let you do that. There is just a little bit of a bad guy in this person, he obviously doesn't want us to continue, but he doesn't want to say it clearly, as if he respects our opinions, but if I want me to say it's weakness, I won't make a mistake like his, so you have to quit too. This is my command. ”
The surprise in Ma Xixi's eyes had turned into deep thought, and after listening to ACE's words, he nodded.
"I'm quitting too."
This time it was ace's turn to be surprised, and Ma Xibei's straightforwardness made him a little undecided.
"You're quitting too? You quit like that? Don't you have any ideas of your own? Listen, I'm not your dad, you don't necessarily have to do what I say. You shouldn't have answered so quickly, I feel like the thought is only going around in your cerebellum before it passes through your brain, hey, 'bastard', are you seriously answering my question? ”
Ma Xixi closed the safety of his rifle and turned his head to look at the starry sky outside the cabin. The cabin 'door' had been removed so that the steel cables could pass through, and he sat by the 'door' with one 'leg' dangling from the outside of the plane. This feeling is good, as long as Luo 'Men' does not do any vigorous flight maneuvers, Ma Xibei will not be thrown out of the cabin.
ACE was right, he shouldn't have answered so quickly, but he didn't feel uncomfortable after answering.
Ma Xixi doesn't like to talk, so he can see the people around him very clearly. He knows that Luo 'Gate' is capable, but Luo 'Gate' always keeps a distance from anyone, does not make you feel particularly distant, nor does he make you feel particularly close, and he transforms all red tape into 'fine' professional habits. If it were someone else, Ma Xixi would be wary of this kind of person, because people in this profession have no credibility at all, betraying and being betrayed abounded, and this is how spies survive. Ma Xibei is sure that when Luo 'Men' was a spy, he did all these things.
But he is still willing to trust Luo 'Men', because as long as he is on the same side as Luo 'Men', Luo 'Men' will do his best to take care of these people who trust him, or directly, in the "Thunder" operation, Luo 'Men' behavior of risking his life to accept him has moved him to this day. If ACE did such a thing, Ma Xixi's 'excitement' would not be so profound, because he knew that he would do the same to ACE, but Luo 'Men' was not a warrior like them, and Luo 'Men' could choose to leave by himself. This fact can only say one thing, and Rohmon is reliable at all times.
If Romen were to quit, then, as ACE said, they would have lost someone they could rely on, and any mission would be more dangerous for them and less likely to succeed.
ACE is definitely a smart guy. As much as he likes to chatter, he mostly does it to get people around, but he himself is always able to stay sober, and if you don't get distracted by his nonsense, then you can see through his personality at a glance.
Quit, quit.
"So, what are we going to do in the future?" Ma Xibei suddenly asked.
ACE, LEANING AGAINST THE BULKHEAD AND THINKING ABOUT HIS THOUGHTS, GLANCED AT HIM.
"That's what I want to ask Romon."
Ma Xibei laughed.
ACE looked at him in disgust. "What's so funny?"
That's ACE. Ma Xibei knew that he was accustomed to accepting the command of Luo 'Men', but he refused to admit it in his mouth, and he always had to verbally attack Luo 'Men', which was probably a kind of compensation for the psychological submission that he had already given in, and Luo 'Men' cleverly ignored these blows, as if it were a kind of 'exchange'. These two people have a very tacit understanding.
"And when will you ask?" Ma Xibei decided not to demolish him.
ACE patted the radio on his chest. "He's turned off his own, and we'll have to turn ours off, or we'll run out of power when we use it."
Not knowing what the two men were talking about right now, ACE thought to himself as he gently stroked his machine gun. I don't know why, after seeing Sasha, he suddenly thought of Sophie's appearance. His "Pretty Boy" was so successful that they slept together that day, and although he didn't get as much news about Roma as he had originally thought, he was still able to observe Sophie from a recent perspective. Ironically, the skills he learned in Unit 128 were not put to use until after Unit 128 was disbanded. So far, he can't see anything wrong with this French 'woman', and now An Nianrong has decided to let Sophie become the contact person of the French "star" again. This made ACE think that when Luo 'Men' returned safely, An Nianrong had a stupid expression on her face. Not having the opportunity to "save" Luo 'Men' obviously made this competitive beauty 'woman' feel very uncomfortable.
The noise of engines and cantilever filled the cabin. Due to nervousness and fatigue, he suddenly had a mischievous urge to drag Sun Guo to the 'door' to scare him, but his whole body was also beginning to feel sore, this thought only churned in his head for a while, and he closed his eyes unconsciously.
Just as he guessed, the two people in front of him were also talking.
"When I was called back, no one told me to drive this old thing, but my skills were still there." Sasha's excitement could still be heard on the intercom. "I really hope there will be another chance like this in the future."
"So what do you think you're going to do?" In the back, Sasha's blond hair can be seen. "Continue to be a sniper? I don't think we'll need snipers anymore. Sasha, after this time, I'm going to quit. ”
"Why?" Sasha looked back in surprise, but she couldn't see the expression on Romon's face. "Haven't you always done a good job?"
"I'm going to do a good job in the future. The problem is not here. Ro'men smiled. The problem is that I have a family now, and I should think more about them. ”
Sasha didn't answer right away, but when she spoke, there was a strong sense of loss in her tone.
"When is the matter, Ro'mon'? I never knew you had a home. ”
"It's a long story, I don't think you're going to be interested in these things. But I'm interested in where you're going next, will you ever go back to France? Luo 'Men' looked attentively at the dashboard in front of him. The Mi-24 is sturdy, but in the current situation, if something goes wrong is only a matter of moments, the additional fuel tanks in the cabin are especially dangerous. "That's too lonely for you."
"I'm going back to China this time, and Martha said that she needs manpower now, and since I can't go back to the United States, I might as well go back and help her." Sasha's voice came alive again. "You're in her plan too."
"I'm afraid that's just her wishful thinking." Luo 'Men' shook his head slightly. "I'm tired of these jobs."
"Have you talked to Martha? You're a very important part of her plans, and while she doesn't want to admit it, from the information she's leaking to me, she wouldn't have had her work plans without you. Do you still want to talk about quitting? ”
Sasha looked back at Ro'Mon', it was just a subconscious action, and she couldn't see Ro' expression in the night.
"We haven't had time to sit down and talk about it yet, but I don't think there's anything she can do to change my mind." Ro' smiled. "If she has a plan, she has to do it herself."
"What about me?" Sasha asked suddenly. "Romen, can I change your mind?"
"Sasha, you will always be as timeless to me as Yesenin's verses, and I will do anything for you."
Ro'mon's voice sounded calm and sincere. Sasha has no doubt about this: Romen will do anything for her. But what's the point? There is a difference between "will do anything for her" and "will do anything for her", although the difference is only one word, but the difference between them is incalculable.
Everything that happened between them was like autumn leaves, which could only go with the wind, Sasha thought sadly.
Just when it arrived at the designated place, the helicopter finally couldn't hold on, its cabin structure had been severely damaged, and the wear and tear of the engines was quite alarming. One thing is for sure, the helicopter will never take to the skies again. Luo 'Men' stood in front of the helicopter, looking at the steel bird.
"Are you a little reluctant?" ACE, who had placed explosives in the cabin, stood beside him.
"It's a little reluctant. But there's nothing sad about it, its mission has been accomplished, and it's time to die. "Luo 'Gate' patted the fuselage." It's a good plane, better than most people think. ”
ACE grinned and shoved the remote-controlled explosive device into Ro'door's hand.
"Do you feel like this plane, at the end of your life? Then it's time to get a taste of suicide. I've put a bit of thought into this, and I hope you enjoy it. ”
The two men left the helicopter side by side, and the yellow sand in their eyes was particularly magnificent in the morning sun.
The troubled iron box had been loaded onto the truck, and a special 'door' unit was in charge of escorting it, and the Americans could only sigh when they arrived at this place on the border. As soon as the Mi-24 crossed the border, the American helicopter unit trailed behind, but they could only hover in the air and watch as a few people on the ground waved lazily at them. The escort troops were not the same as those in Afghanistan, and they carried weapons that could wipe out the stalking U.S. forces without much effort.
Sasha, Ma Xibei, and Sun Guo were all standing outside the safe zone, their expressions somewhat expectant.
Luo 'Men' raised the remote control in his hand and gestured to everyone.
"If you don't press it again, I'll misunderstand that you're a 'woman'." Sasha shouted happily.
With a loud "boom", the helicopter in the distance was drowned in the firelight, and the fuselage was neatly divided into two sections and flew into the air in an instant, high above the thick smoke on the ground. In mid-air, the two fuselages exploded again, scattering the remaining fragments evenly towards the desolate Gobi.
Ma Xibei, who pressed the camera door continuously, stood up and slapped his palms with ACE to congratulate him.
"But you can't put these pictures online." ACE did not forget to warn Ma Northwest. "Everybody on the Internet."
Sasha snuggled up to the Ro'mon and squinted at the spectacular sight in front of her.
Even in the distance, there was a shout of excitement from the group of strangers who had not yet set off.
