"We're here." Susura opens the door and gets out of the car first.

There was a neon light in front of him, Xiao Fei squinted his eyes, and he could clearly see that the signboard light box read "Maid Cafe Palufei".

Xiao Fei observed the situation in the café through the glass window, there were not many customers in the store, but there were about five maids, and they could almost serve one-on-one at one table.

If you look closely at the "watches" for prosthetics hidden in the bell sleeves of each maid, it is obvious that they are all "enhanced humans" like themselves - "prosthetic people".

Of course, it is not excluded that some people are ordinary people in the flesh, but they wear the same watch, after all, the current prosthetic technology has been so perfect, and it is almost impossible to distinguish between prosthetic people and ordinary people.

Observing the situation in the restaurant, Xiao Fei walked to the main entrance of the restaurant, but was dragged from behind.

"You're hairy, it's super conspicuous to go in through the front door, and you don't want to be posted on the Internet with a "Shocked! The interest of male officers turned out to be it, and eighty percent of the people don't know about it, right? ”

Xiao Fei turned his head to look at Su Su, and had to admit that Su Su had a point.

"Here, go through the back door." Su Su made a gesture of please, guided Xiao Fei around the feeding door of the back kitchen of the hotel, and entered the building through the staff passage next to him.

As soon as I entered, I saw a small truck parked in the garage, which was supposed to be transporting ingredients, and further on there was a warehouse, and there was a swill tank containing food scraps on the connecting passage between the warehouse and the back kitchen, but because the mouth was well covered, there was no strange smell.

There is a door opposite the swill tank, and three large characters are pasted on the door: "Command Room".

Xiao Fei almost didn't laugh, what the hell is the command room in front of the swill tank, I always feel that something is not right!

"Our captain is inside." Su Su pointed to the command room, "Go in, I'm going to the front to help." ”

"There aren't any guests in front of you, are you?"

"Alright, alright, anyway, you can go in. I'll go first. ”

Susu felt like she had run away and fled from the front of the command room.

Xiao Fei was very puzzled, so he carefully sorted out his clothes, and then held the doorknob of the command room.

**

Xiao Fei is already familiar with the offices of the army, and all of these offices have similar layouts.

The office of Li Qiaoen, the commander of the special high-tech emergency response force, was filled with a smell of tobacco, which Xiao Fei was not used to at first—too strong for his senses, which had been strengthened by the prosthetic body.

"Commander Lee." Xiao Fei softly reminded Li Qiaoen, who was struggling to write.

So Li Qiaoen raised his head and smiled at him: "Is it time?" ”

"Actually, I'm a little bit late." Saying that, Xiao Fei saluted Li Qiaoen, "Also, Comrade Commander, are you still using pen and paper to write documents?" ”

"It's habit. There were no typewriters or keyboards on the battlefield, and only a pencil was used to record everything. Li Qiaoen picked up the half-smoked cigarette from the ashtray, but suddenly remembered that Xiao Fei was still here, so he looked up and asked Xiao Fei if he minded. Xiao Fei was completely indifferent.

"It's okay, the toxicity of nicotine doesn't have any effect on my body."

"Nonsense, your body hasn't been prosthetized yet, has it? If the lungs are still flesh, nicotine is harmful. ”

"Private Xiao Fei!" He switched to a serious tone.

Xiao Fei immediately straightened up and assumed a standard standing posture that he had long been familiar with.

Li Qiaoen carefully looked at Xiao Fei's standing, his gaze reminded Xiao Fei of the non-commissioned officers who were responsible for training them when he first entered the military academy, the army has a tradition of training recruits, and the first incident of the non-commissioned officers was fierce and vicious-yes, Li Qiaoen's gaze gave Xiao Fei that feeling.

In front of this gaze, Xiao Fei couldn't help but get nervous.

"Private Xiao Fei," Li Qiaoen finally continued, "the lessons you've learned up to yesterday are all shit!" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Fei still couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

"I said everything you learned, it's shit. Shit understands? Haven't seen it? ”

"I've seen it, but it's ......"

"No, but, just rely on the little things that the military school taught you, you will die when you go out, and the experience of a veteran is the key to saving your life, understand?"

"Understood!" Xiao Fei said subconsciously.

"Xiao Fei, you should know that training will always end, and the soldier's destination is the battlefield." Li Qiaoen paused, waiting for Xiao Fei's response, but the young man pursed his lips and remained silent, so he continued, "Here, there will be a veteran who has experienced real experience to lead you, and she will teach you everything you need to know to face the battlefield. ”

"I don't need to." Xiao Fei turned his face away and looked at the wall of Li Qiaoen's office, so the photo of Li Qiaoen and two men and one woman came into Xiao Fei's sight. The faces of the two men had been covered with black cellophane, and only the expressions of Jon Li and the woman were still directly illuminated by the light in the room.

Presumably, those two men have died honorably.

Of course, Xiao Fei had never seen the two men in the photo, but Xiao Fei was not at all interested in who they were.

Xiao Fei stared at the photo for a while, and then peeked at Li Qiaoen from the corner of his eye, only to find that he was swiping on a military tablet, as if he was handwriting.

Suddenly, Xiao Fei heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

At the same time that Li Qiaoen answered the door, the door opened, and someone walked into the room, but Xiao Fei was facing the back of his head in the direction of the door at the moment, so he couldn't see who came in.

Judging by his steps, the man weighed the weight of a grown man—

The moment Xiao Fei thought like this, a woman's voice drilled into her ears: "Colonel, Concubine Ming, the leader of the Mei group, reports to you." ”

Xiao Fei subconsciously turned his head to follow the prestige.

The tall figure, the plump breasts and buttocks, and the capable and delicate side face, all of this make the female officer who just enters the door full of the label of "mature woman".

Xiao Fei frowned slightly, and the bull's temper that he hadn't been able to polish after four years of training in the military academy came to his heart again.

"Xiao Fei, this is your commander for the next year."

"She?" Xiao Fei turned his head and unceremoniously pointed at the female officer named Concubine Zhu Ming, "I can let her go in three clicks!" ”

"Oh?" Concubine Zhu Ming's voice drilled into Xiao Fei's ears, "Come and try it, I also want to see the performance of the new generation of prosthetics." ”

Xiao Fei cast an inquiring glance at Li Qiaoen.

Li Qiaoen sighed and whispered, "Pay attention to the point." ”

"Understood!" Xiao Fei responded loudly, and at the same time rushed towards Concubine Zhu Ming. A chair rushed towards Xiao Fei, instantly obscuring Xiao Fei's entire field of vision.

The moment Xiao Fei raised his hand to knock the chair away, his eyes caught the movement of Concubine Zhu Ming raising her gun.

At the moment of the gunshot, the bullet grazed Xiao Fei's thigh, tearing the tube skirt of the military uniform, and the moment the pain was generated, it was shielded by the intelligent system of the prosthesis.

The improvised dodge action caused Xiao Fei to create a big gap.

Oops - at the same time that this idea was born, Concubine Zhu Ming's leg had already kicked in front of Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei blocked the blow with his arm, but his body's stance had completely collapsed.

It is necessary to regroup.

At this time, the sense of vacancy enveloped all of Xiao Fei's senses, followed by a sense of weightlessness.

The next moment, Xiao Fei's face slammed firmly on the tile floor of the office.

Xiao Fei desperately turned his face sideways, stared at Concubine Zhu Ming, who was suppressing him, with the corner of his eyes, and shouted: "You are cheating!" It's not fair with weapons! ”

"The battlefield is never fair."

Xiao Fei could only stare at Concubine Zhu Ming's expressionless face to express his dissatisfaction.

At this time, Li Qiaoen said, "I said that the point is to the end." ”

"It was necessary to test the performance of the new prosthesis." Concubine Zhu Ming said as she removed the leg that was stepping on Xiao Fei's back, stood up straight, and pulled the wrinkled military uniform that had just been exercised.

Xiao Fei also stood up, pointed at Concubine Zhu Ming's face and said loudly: "I don't accept it, I want to do it again!" ”

"There is no second time, you are already 'dead' just now." Li Qiaoen said calmly, and that tone made Xiao Fei instantly realize that he would not get the opportunity to challenge again, at least today.

So Xiao Fei could only bite his lip and swallow all the grievances into his stomach - but in the end, there was still some left to swallow, so he protested again: "Why do you want to assign a female officer to teach me?" ”

"No, why, what is the vocation of a soldier who didn't learn anything in a military school?" Li Jon asked rhetorically.

At this time, Concubine Zhu Ming asked, "What about the other one?" ”

"I guess it's almost there, and she's always very punctual."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

After Li Qiaoen answered, a girl shorter than Xiao Fei walked into the room with a standard military stride, and the excessive stride made her whole person look a little weird.

After standing up, the girl saluted Li Qiaoen.

"Private Amber, 1000 hours, report on time."

Xiao Fei looked at the wall clock behind Li Qiaoen, and the hands really pointed to ten o'clock. Most of China's armed forces are still accustomed to expressing time in terms of hours, minutes and seconds, but in some special forces, especially those that have participated in many international joint military operations, everyone is accustomed to reporting time as a string of four-digit numbers, which is completely the style of European and American forces.

"Amber, you have to remember that everything you've learned so far is shit, have you ever seen shit?"

Li Qiaoen used the same trick on the little girl who had just come in, and Xiao Fei looked at the girl with a playful expression.

Unexpectedly, the girl was completely unmoved, and replied expressionlessly: "Yes, I have a dog." ”

"Very well, you have to remember that what is taught to you in the military academy is all dried and hardened shit, and they are nothing compared to the real battlefield. You'll have to learn combat skills from veterans so you can guarantee your survival from the war. Well, you have been assigned to the unit of this Captain Zhu Mingfei, and as a user of the new generation of prosthetics, we look forward to your performance in the army. ”

"Yes." Amber replied briefly, and then saluted Jon Lee.

After saying that, Li Qiaoen waved his hand, Xiao Fei didn't want to leave, but Amber had simply turned around and walked out of the door, and he could only follow behind and leave the room.

After the office was closed, Xiao Fei immediately turned around and leaned on the door, his ear against the door trying to listen to the conversation between the two inside.

But obviously, the command room has adopted standard soundproofing measures, and even with Xiao Fei's hearing, he can't hear half a word at all.

Xiao Fei lay on the door like a gecko for a while, and finally gave up, slumping his shoulders like a deflated ball, turning around, so he happened to meet Amber's gaze.

Amber looked at Xiao Fei directly, without blinking her eyelids.

Xiao Fei and Amber stared wide-eyed, but after a stalemate for a while, he became a little embarrassed, subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and after confirming that there was no eye droppings, he adjusted the collar of his military uniform.

At this time, Amber spoke: "Xiao Fei? ”

"Uh, what's the matter?" Xiao Fei didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this little gourd, so he had to answer carefully.

"Xiao Fei," Amber called Xiao Fei's name again, and at the same time pointed at Xiao Fei with her finger, and then turned her finger to point at herself, "Amber." ”

"I know your name is Amber."

Amber completely ignored Xiao Fei's response, and pointed at her again with her finger: "Xiao Fei's name is cheesy, amber is a natural gem." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Fei was stunned, not keeping up with Amber's rhythm at all.

Amber gave Xiao Fei a thumbs up, and at that moment Xiao Fei felt her eyes shine.

Amber's style made Xiao Fei sound puzzled again: "Huh? ”

Amber tilted her head and was silent for about a second before she said, "I can't beat you, so forget it." ”

"Where is this?" Xiao Fei was speechless, and his voice suddenly raised a few degrees, "Who is going to beat you, haven't you heard that good men don't fight women?" ”

"I see," Amber pointed to Xiao Fei's nose, "straight male cancer." ”

Xiao Fei couldn't help but hold his forehead, and he began to wonder if this little girl had reached the age of eighteen.

"I'm not full, I'm actually a genius girl who skips a grade."

"Can you read minds?"

"No, but I'll use logic to speculate on what you're thinking."

"Are you trying to trick me like that? We just met, why? ”

This time, Amber's eyes flicked to the ceiling, and Poker had a rare pensive expression on her face, and after a moment she said, "Because it's fun?" ”

"Why is it a questioning tone?"

Amber glanced at the ceiling again, and after another moment, she said, "It's called 'workplace icebreaker'." ”

"You definitely just thought of it!"

"Yes."

"And admit it!"

"I'm an honest kid." Amber said, giving Xiao Fei a thumbs up.

Xiao Fei held the wall with one hand, and covered his head with the other hand and sighed.

"Seeing that you are so frustrated, do you want to go to the shooting range to get an ammo base?" Amber asked.

"There's a shooting range here?"

"Didn't you notice? The building next door happens to be a rental warehouse, but if you look closely at the door of the warehouse, you will find that the maintenance of the gate is worrying, and the pulleys that open the gate are basically rusty. That warehouse hasn't been used for a long time, this is unreasonable, after all, this is in the city, such a warehouse is tantamount to wasting money, do you know how much the nearby land price has been speculated? ”

Xiao Fei didn't know how much the land price in the vicinity had been speculated, but he knew the land price of the imperial capital, this southern coastal metropolis, the status in the south was equivalent to that of the imperial capital in the north, and the land price would definitely not be low.

When you think about it, Amber's argument seems to make a lot of sense.

"The only explanation is that there are also facilities for everyone to practice, and the underground shooting range or something must be in it. So, you can go and play a cardinal ammunition to express the frustration and frustration that comes from being molested by a prodigy beautiful girl. ”

"I'm not depressed."

"Oh. If I'm not mistaken, the other door next to the swill tank is the internal access to the warehouse. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm going to hit a cardinal base." Xiao Fei turned around and pushed open the door behind him.

After the door closed, Amber withdrew her gaze, she took out her tablet and pen from her pocket, and quickly drew Xiao Fei's awkward face on the computer.

After finishing, Amber looked at her sketch for a few seconds, and then nodded with a "hmm", as if she was satisfied with her performance. Then she pressed the save button, and in the dialog box that popped up, she named the file "The Fool I Met Today", and then saved it in her own painting folder.

Then she glanced at the time, then pulled the cable from the bottom of the tablet and slipped it into her ear, then she clicked on the player, looked up at the ceiling to the music of Dvořák's Ninth Symphony, and stared back to the doorframe of Jon's office.

*

In the room separated by a wall, Li Qiaoen was looking directly at Concubine Zhu Ming.

"The technical department analyzed the unregistered prosthetic and its equipment that you destroyed, and they believe it is the product of the Russians." Li Qiaoen said and threw out a memory card, the military nano memory card is only the size of a fingernail, but it can store a T of information, "This is the analysis report of all the high-tech equipment collected from the battlefield, at present, there is no technology that we have not seen." Although I'm sorry for you, the Mei group was indeed wiped out by an enemy who had no technical superiority, a major mistake, Concubine Ming. ”

Concubine Zhu Ming picked up the memory card and inserted it into a portable security terminal like a mobile phone, and while the terminal was decrypted, she asked Li Qiaoen: "What does this unit belong to?" Judging by the way of fighting, at least they were trained by the Russians, and there are traces of Russian-style infantry tactics in them. ”

"About this ......" Li Qiaoen took out a document - paper, which shows that this document is very important, in this era of informatization, hackers can steal electronic files in front of computers thousands of miles away, and to steal paper materials, they must send people to the data storage place to commit crimes.

Concubine Zhu Ming glanced at the document bag, and the four A's on it made her realize that this was a self-destructing document, and once the document bag was opened, the paper inside would begin to spontaneously combust as soon as the protective layer on the surface had evaporated.

"You have a minute to read."

"That's enough."

Concubine Zhu Ming took the file bag, but she didn't open it in a hurry, but asked suspiciously, "Source?" ”

"The Third Department of the General Staff, by the way, the commissioner of the Fourth Department of the General Staff is now dining in the storefront, and all the networks in the building are under the control of the Fourth Department before the documents are burned."

Concubine Zhu Ming opened the file bag, and then scanned the information in the file as quickly as possible, and as soon as she finished reading the last line, the document turned into a pile of phosphorus fire and flew away, and was quickly siphoned off by the ventilation system in the building.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have asked what was in here." Li Qiaoen opened the drawer and took out two glasses and a bottle of wine from it, "But now I propose to have a drink for the sake of Li Meilin and Jiang Shiyi, who are leaving." ”

This means very simply, it is normal for people to confide a little bit of information after drinking, and from time to time the army will use this way to convey some information that should not be transmitted, and once they are caught, they will shirk and say that they are drunk and lose their words. However, the actual situation is well known, and the so-called "a little bit of alcohol, plus a little bit of associative ability" refers to this.

After Concubine Zhu Ming took the wine glass and took a sip, she said to Li Qiaoen: "Inside is the intelligence of the armed conflict in Russia recorded by satellites five years ago. Russia announced that it was a terrorist attack on a Russian military factory, but the third ministry believed that it was a clean-up operation carried out by the Russian army. ”

"Sweep up?"

"That factory is a place for the manufacture of biochemical prostheses and the implantation of prosthetic limbs, and it seems that there are Russian generals and extremist groups who collude to sell prosthetic people."

Li Qiaoen's expression was very serious: "So, the prosthetic person who escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the four of you was cultivated in that facility?" ”

"She seems to be the only survivor of the clean-up, and she is probably a Chinese."

Jon Lee gently turned the cup on the table with his hand.

"Li Meilin was killed when he intercepted the fleeing enemy, right?"

"Yes." Concubine Zhu Ming was very serious, "The other party has quite a lot of combat experience, and his own strength as a prosthetic person is also very strong. ”

Although prosthetics are humans, like other weapons, their performance will be closely related to the "age of production", biochemical technology and nanotechnology are changing with each passing day, even if they are the same second-generation prosthetic people, the prosthetic people born late always have some advantages over the old guys.

"What a tricky guy." Li Qiaoen took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and then took out a lighter, but he didn't rush to light it, "Da Lei was also trained by me, and it's really chilling to be able to kill his guy without injury." ”

"Military Academy," whenever there were only two of them, Concubine Zhu Ming would call Li Qiaoen like this, "I hope that the Mei Group can participate in the operation to track this person." ”

"Whether you can participate or not, I don't count, this is something that the big guys have to consider. However, if it is really such a strong opponent, the Umegumi with a new generation of prosthetic people will definitely be sent to the front line. ”

"Test your combat effectiveness?" Concubine Zhu Ming said according to Li Qiaoen's words.

Li Qiaoen nodded lightly: "There is nothing more suitable for testing new gadgets than a unit like us that performs security tasks in the city, this small shop is probably the last nest of those children." ”

"They're just kids."

"You were a kid back then, too."

"One of them is your daughter."

"Your mother didn't object to you going to war back then." Li Qiaoen was completely unmoved, "We are soldiers, and our profession requires us to be cold-blooded, and your mother is the same. ”

Concubine Zhu Ming was silent for a long time, then stood up and saluted Li Qiaoen: "If there is nothing else to do, I will retire first, Colonel Li." ”

"No, you go, Captain."

After deliberately addressing each other by military rank, Concubine Zhu Ming turned around and left Li Qiaoen's office.

As soon as she went out, she saw Amber curled up between two swill tanks, looking up at the ceiling in a daze, headphones in her ears.

"What about the other one?" Concubine Zhu Ming asked.

"Shooting range." Amber didn't take off the headphones, but she answered quickly.

"Go and call him, and I'll be waiting for you at the door."
