Chapter 228: A Chance Encounter
"Wake up! Lieutenant Colonel Cowen, wake up! One stepped forward and patted Cowan on the shoulder, as if trying to wake him up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The other two despised it, did this guy not drink, can a drunk person come to his senses with such a slight movement? Thinking of his actions, in exchange for the most he gets, it is just a slap in the other party's sleep.
But things turned out to be the opposite of what they imagined. After being gently shaken a few times, Cowan slowly opened his eyes.
Cowan looked at the scene around him, then at the half-bottle of vodka still in his arms, and immediately remembered the whole scene from last night.
Yesterday, when his fleet returned, it was late at night, and it was early in the morning. Although the best option at that time was to take a break and go back to satisfy the craving for alcohol in his stomach, he still lost to his somewhat ridiculous self-control.
Originally, he didn't plan to drink, but it was already late at night, and it was really not a good time to drink.
But after coming to the inside of the base, Cowan had other thoughts, and kept making excuses for himself in his mind, including the high-sounding reason that the club was open 24 hours a day anyway, and he would waste it if he didn't patronize it, and there was also a completely untenable guarantee that I would not drink there, just to experience the atmosphere and smell the wine.
But whatever the reason, Cowan ended up at the bar in front of the bar.
So, just smelling and smelling became just one drink, then two, three, five, and one bottle...... Finally, there was the table full of empty wine bottles.
Cowan, who recalled everything, felt helpless, in the army, he could still maintain restraint, but once he reached the relatively stable rear of the base, he couldn't get rid of the temptation of alcohol.
He knew that this was not good, and he also wanted to control it, but when that time came, his self-control would not know where to fly, step by step, step by step, it would become the current situation.
Cowan rubbed his temples, which were faintly aching, and blinked his red, swollen eyes vigorously before looking at the three commanders beside him.
"What's the matter?" Cowan asked, trying to be as polite as possible.
"No, no! It's nothing, but I just saw that Chief Cowan was lying here alone, was there something wrong, so I came to talk! The commander at the front was the first to explain.
"Hehe~~ That's it! Thank you so much! Cowan smiled as he stood up.
"What do you want to ......," another asked.
"I'm almost drunk, go back to rest and rest, recuperate, and come back in the evening!" Cowan instantly made a declaration that he would come back, causing several people to sweat again. It seems that this person has already made up his mind to "get drunk in a dream"!
"Sir Cowen, I think it's better for you to be a little more restrained, even if you love to drink, you can't form a dependence on alcohol, after all, alcohol has a great impact on our brain reaction speed." The commander in the middle of the three couldn't help but persuade.
Cowan had no choice but to restrain himself in this regard, why would he be in the scene they were in front of them now. But after all, this is the other party's care for himself, and he can't always give "If you want to accept it, I will accept it a long time ago, and I need you to be verbose here!" This kind of non-mainstream response.
So Cowan chose to answer very much in line with the standard of greetings. "Okay, I know too, I'll pay extra attention to it in the future!"
"You must refrain from it!" The commander cheered him on.
"It must be ......," Cowan said in a very sincere and perfunctory tone.
"I'm over here, there's still something to tidy up, so I won't spend much time with me, you guys have fun!"
"We were waiting for you here that night? You must come! ”
"I try! I try my best! Cowan repeated the perfunctory gesture and raised his feet to leave. As for whether he will come in the evening, the answer is yes, of course not, and he still prefers to drink alone in a quiet space in such a chaotic scene.
In this way, Cowan walked out of the club, his face seemed to have returned to normal, and his thinking ability slowly recovered, but the frivolity under his feet also showed the fact that he was drunk at night, but the management system of this forward base was relatively loose, so there would be nothing to do, and if he changed to other bases in the alliance, there might already be gendarmes coming to him for trouble.
He just walked swaggering in the passage, and came four young logistics supply officers, two men and two women, the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, but he also looked talented and beautiful. made him take a few more looks.
The four of them seemed to have some task, and after a slight salute to him, they also left in a hurry. In the moment when the two sides passed by, Cowan felt that something was faintly wrong.
Although these young men are also military officers, it is obviously not enough to enter the leisure club for senior officers, but there are no other facilities here, and where else can they go except to go to the club?
Wait a minute! Where to go? Cowan froze, and then he remembered that the Leisure Club was the newest department you'd set up here in a few months, and that there was originally a small passage leading to the main entrance, but after the club was renovated, that passage was blocked.
If this group of people does not know this situation, they want to reach the outside world from the tarmac, this passage is indeed a very remote, and hidden people's eyes.
Is this group of people really not aware? Cowan knew that it was basically impossible!
Whether it is the combat personnel or the logistics personnel, the work of this base is continuous, this is the front line, there will be no kind of newcomers who do not understand anything to participate in the work here, this is not only irresponsible to these recruits, but also irresponsible to these veterans in the same industry.
Therefore, most of the people who can be assigned here are veterans and strong players. And after such a long time of familiarization, it is natural to know the details of the specific passage here. And the four people just now are obviously not among them.
Could that be lost? Is it a way for four people to get lost together? Then why didn't you ask yourself for directions just now?
So, obviously, there is only one answer, and that is that the other party is a member of the original Third Fleet, and has left for a long time.
So they knew what a remote passage was, but they didn't know that it had been completely sealed. And the goal of these people is very obvious, that is, to leave the entire combat base as soon as possible.
With less to more, a long battle is not good, Cowan decided to completely solve the problem in the first time, he really wanted it, and he did it!
"Stop!" Cowan jerked back with a loud shout, turned and began to charge at the four.
