Crazy Dolma headquarters.

The whistle of the curfew spread far and wide, and the golden lighthouse swept through the tiled houses, and the streets were bleak.

The pickup truck carrying Li Yan climbed over the mound desert and walked over the guard tower.

The town is bigger, but it's also a lot more deserted, and there is even a bit of a rumour.

"Please understand, there have been more and more dangerous people who have launched attacks recently, and the Black Star Chariot has ordered a complete refusal to collect the displaced people, but there are still many people with ill intentions who have mixed in."

The soldier pointed to Li Yan to a piece of charred rubble not far away.

"They carried petrol bombs to carry out suicide attacks, and in addition to ordinary people, many of our soldiers were also injured."

Behind the mobile board house, the occasional homeless person can be seen.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xing actually stood at the door of the barbed wire fence and waited for Li Yan.

As soon as he saw Li Yan, Qiao Xing walked over: "You came back much earlier than I thought." ”

Li Yan looked around, and suddenly smiled: "You won't arrange dozens of machine gunners nearby, right?" ”

"You're a friend of Afaf, why should I harm you?"

Qiao Xing said very seriously.

Li Yan restrained his smile: "That's great." ”

"Let's talk as we go."

The two walked forward side by side, and Qiao Xing said, "The machine I want you to repair is in the original Dancuo Automobile Headquarters, and now Commander Liang is in the town." It's late, I'll go with you tomorrow, I haven't thanked you for saving my wife and children, Afaf is also here, if you have nothing else to do, let's have two drinks together? ”

Li Yan nodded: "Okay." ”

Qiao Xing smiled heartily, said no more, and led Li Yan forward.

The two walked into a separate courtyard, which was the residence of Qiao Xing and Afaf.

Hearing the sound of conversation in the house, Afaf stepped out, and was a little surprised to see Li Yan and Qiao Xing coming in together: "I received someone so soon." ”

"Hmm."

Qiao Xing nodded.

The smell wafted through the room, and little Rob in the cradle was lying on the frame with his arms on his stomach and looking.

"Sit."

Qiao Xing greeted Li Yan, he took out a wine glass from the cabinet, and when he saw that Li Yan didn't move, he smiled and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yan blinked, laughed and shook his head, he sat opposite Qiao Xing: "It's nothing, you said drink with me, don't put it on the shelf when the time comes." ”

In the end, Qiao Xing didn't say anything out of the ordinary, let alone do anything out of the ordinary, Li Yan felt that he might have thought too much.

Qiao Xing smiled: "I don't usually drink much, but the amount of alcohol is not bad." ”

Afaf took off his apron: "By the way, have you told Qiao Xing about the matter in the Great Devil Lake?" ”

"Say what?"

Li Yan raised his head.

Without waiting for Affif to speak, Qiao Xing interjected, but it was not abrupt: "She said that the people at Big Ben studied Jacques's sample, and asked you to help repair the machine this time." The Black Star Chariot will not treat your friends badly, so if you have anything to need, just mention it. ”

"That's good."

Li Yan spoke: "Can I meet a few researchers from Big Ben in advance?" ”

Qiao Xing raised his hand to pour his wine glass, and saw that the wine was full of convexity, and then slowly spoke: "I can't be the master now, the security level of the research institute at the headquarters of Big Ben Researcher is very high, and it is usually okay, this research Commander Liang attaches great importance to it, if you want to meet those researchers, I can arrange it after the research work is completed, it will take a few days." ”

"Okay, then it's settled."

The two of them made it sound like there was nothing wrong with it, but Afaf's eyebrows didn't feel right.

Li Yan was still there, and Afif didn't want to ask in detail, just brought the dishes to the table. He wiped his hands and said to the two, "I'll go see the soup, and you two will talk." ”

Qiao Xing picked up the wine glass and motioned to Li Yan, the deep-mouthed aluminum glass, Qiao Xing drank it clean in one sip.

Afif never came to the table, only Li Yan and Qiao Xing were on the table, Qiao Xing is a very good chatter, he speaks very methodically, but it does not make people feel restrained.

When the wine was strong, both of them became talkative.

Qiao Xing talked about his political ambitions, as well as the years of acquaintance and love with Afaf.

Li Yan occasionally talked about the maintenance and combat skills of cold weapons, and the two even argued about the advantages and disadvantages of weapons built by modern technology and ancient methods.

When the excitement was strong, Qiao Xing also took a high-carbon steel kabar saber from the car and showed it to Li Yan, and Li Yan took out the Qingfeng sword.

After a few hours, the table was full of empty wine bottles, and Qiao Xing was drunk and hazy: "By the way, Afif intends to let you be Rob's godfather, I don't have any opinion." What do you think. ”

Li Yan poured himself a glass: "I like that kid a lot, there are a few dangers on the road, this kid doesn't cry or make trouble, and he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future." ”

"Then I'll give you a promise."

Qiao Xing said with a smile.

Li Yan didn't answer, just scratched his eyebrows: "I've been nervous lately. It may be a bit of a cup bow snake shadow, and the tone was rushing before, don't be surprised. ”

"Where."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Late at night, Li Yan left with sloppy steps, and the moment he stepped out of the courtyard, the flush on his face disappeared.

He glanced back at the lighted courtyard and licked his chapped lips.

"Don't talk about the slightest warmth and trust with people, it's sad to live, I'm here, I hope it's not the result that you and I don't want to see."

He stepped away, and with a wave of his hand, a Sudu bird staggered to rest on the edge of the window.

In the house, Qiao Xing looked at the messy table, and Afaf silently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. She listened to it for a night, and she also listened to a general idea of why Li Yan came back this time.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

“……”

"The project against the Jacques gene was a great success, not to mention that Li Yan might not have anything on him, even if he really brought out a few Jacques samples from the Great Devil's Lake, the Black Star Chariot could be purchased in person. What is there about him that you can't tell? ”

“……”

Seeing that Qiao Xing didn't speak, Afif put a stack of plates into the sink and turned his head to stare at Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing was full of thoughts, and he barely spoke for a long time: "From a personal point of view, Li Yan saved you, he is kind to me, but if he damages the interests of the Black Star Chariot, I can't let him go." ”

"Don't take the bureaucracy home and say, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have come back at all, how could he harm the interests of Black Star?"

Afaf's voice was angry.

At this time, there was a soldier's voice outside the courtyard: "Colonel, General Liang has something to ask you, let you go to the liaison room." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Xing stood up, picked up his coat and shouted outside, "I'll come now." ”

After that, he hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.

Su Du Niao on the edge of the window deliberately tailgated, but was almost noticed by Qiao Xing, so he simply staggered and returned to Li Yan's side.

……

Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence, followed by the hysterical cries of women.

Qiao Xing, who hurried to the liaison room, heard the gunshot, frowned and said, "Go and ask who shot during the curfew." ”

In a few moments, his men brought over a group of Black Star soldiers who were breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Colonel, this is a new recruit, frightened by the suicide bombings of fanatical believers these days. Just now, I accidentally killed a homeless child. ”

Qiao Xing looked not far away, a small corpse was lying on the ground, blood was flowing wantonly on the damp ground, a woman in her thirties was lying on the corpse, I don't know how many homeless people were silently looking behind the wooden bars and iron sheets.

Qiao Xing withdrew his gaze and just glanced at the sweaty recruit.

"Go back and write a check."

After speaking, he hurried to the liaison room.

In the liaison room, Liang Wei was also there, he was holding the phone, and Liang Zhengyong's scolding was even heard softly by Qiao Xing, who had just entered the door.

"What are you two doing? Who is this Li Yan? Why is he a second-level target in the purge?! ”

"Don't ask me, Dad, Qiao Xingjia, I just didn't veto, he wants to wash off his green hat, won't I help as a brother?"

"Call me."

Qiao Xing stretched out his hand.

Liang Wei gave the phone to Qiao Xing.

"General, I added this person to the plan, not because of personal grudges, I am very sure, he is ......"

"Qiao Xing."

Liang Zhengyong interrupted Qiao Xing's words: "Your political sense is very sensitive, and you can guess many things without me telling you." Are you really going to prevaricate me with the reasoning you put in the paper? Is it necessary to list this Revenant as a target, which is not in the interests of the Black Star Chariot. You know it. ”

“……”

"You have been smart since you were a child, and you are also old, and you are full of joy and anger, and the old people praise you for having calmness, but many times, this makes you too dependent on political skills, too accustomed to wearing a mask to speak, sometimes you tell too many lies, and even you think that you are dedicated to the public."

Qiao Xing's fists clenched tighter and tighter, and Liang Zhengyong's every word pierced into his heart.

Unexpectedly, Liang Zhengyong's words changed: "Today, Uncle I want to teach you something else." I'll only ask you this once, what is the reason why you have targeted this Revenant? ”

Qiao Xing was speechless for a long time, and finally, as if he had lost all his strength, he said softly:

"I trust my wife, but the Revenant, he doesn't have the qualifications to make me so embarrassed."

Qiao Xing's tone fluctuated violently.

“……”

After a while, Liang Zhengyong spoke: "I can't spend the committee's manpower to avenge your personal vendetta, the target sequence can be retained, and you have to arrange the manpower to hit the target yourself." ”

"General, you ......"

"Sometimes, people should face the negative emotions in their hearts, and you need to vent. Politically, if you want to fight your opponents, you must be famous. But not everything has to be so troublesome, and if dying a wandering hunter in the wilderness can make you understand this, it must be worth it. ”

Qiao Xing swallowed heavily: "General, thank you." ”

Liang Zhengyong hung up the phone.

Qiao Xing looked at Liang Wei: "You didn't hit my little report." ”

"Am I that bored?"

Liang Wei smiled: "It's you, don't underestimate that young hunter wandering in the wilderness." Maybe he's really that, maybe it's the same. ”

Qiao Xing glanced at him, and no longer concealed the chill in his tone: "Could it be that only Lamujue killed them?" ”
