In the base of District 13, Li Ruonan was led by the guards to meet the supreme commander here.

She arrived in the afternoon, and she arrived at the most marginal Ninth Defense Area first, which was the place where Lei Shaoxuan focused on explaining.

Soon after arriving in the defense area, a guard from the 13th district approached her and said, "General Dou wants to see you." ”

Li Ruonan explained the team's defense and reconnaissance tasks, and did a good job of division of labor, so he followed the guards to Area 13.

Area 13 is very close to the 9th Defense Zone, and among the mountains, the majestic mountains that used to be endless and majestic are now in dilapidation.

But it is undeniable that the mountains are still majestic, like the Wolong entrenched in the sky and roaring, and the entrance to District 13 is in the dragon's mouth.

When the entrance to the base was first chosen, it caused a lot of controversy, saying that the entrance was too obvious and easy to be discovered by the enemy, and finally the Supreme Commander of the 13th District, Dou Daqili, overrode the public opinion, slapped the table and said:

"Fuck, this is Lao Tzu's territory, if they want to come, just do it with him! I can't keep my home, so what's the point of living! ”

The dragon's mouth is very deep, and the guards have been leading the way in front, with the faint light, Li Ruonan looked at the guard's lonely back, and didn't know why, an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart.

"Captain Li, it's here." The guard spoke, walked over to the rock wall, put his hand into the crack in the rock wall and gently pulled out.

There was a click and a mechanical sound in the rock wall that quickly stopped, but there was no special change in the cave.

"Follow me." The guard looked back, raised his leg and took a step forward, and the whole person disappeared as if he had melted into the wall.

This scene made Li Ruonan, who was calm, stunned, took two steps forward, and raised his hand to touch the rock wall where the guards had disappeared.

"Captain Li, this is the video wall, just step in." The voice of the guard came from within the rock wall.

The voice was very abrupt in this deep cave, and the startled Li Ruonan's outstretched hand was violently withdrawn, fortunately, it was covered by a protective mask, and this shy face, if it was seen by the dark thirteen, it would have to be a long time ago.

Li Ruonan raised his feet and walked towards the rock wall, without hesitation, his hand slightly fisted, but betrayed her mentality at this time.

There is not much space behind the rock wall, a metal door is facing Li Ruonan, and the guard is pressing a red button next to the metal door, which is an elevator that goes deep underground.

After a while, the elevator door opened, and Li Ruonan followed the guard into the elevator, and the guard pressed it at the position marked L27, and the elevator started, all the way down.

"General Dou's command room is on the lowest floor, and the upper floors are all residential areas, now..." Speaking of this, the guard's voice stopped, as if he didn't want to say any more.

There was silence in the elevator, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

It seems that he does not like the oppressive atmosphere, and the elevator quickly reaches the lowest level.

The moment the elevator door opened, a rough voice sounded like thunder, "Big niece, I haven't seen you for almost ten years." ”

Li Ruonan's face was red, and he said in his heart: "This Uncle Dou is still the same, and he never looks at the occasion." ”

A middle-aged man who was one size bigger than the fat man appeared in front of Li Ruonan, with a green military uniform, cropped pants, a pair of cloth rubber shoes, and a face of stubble covering his real face, but his bright eyes shocked Li Ruonan's spirit.

He is the supreme commander of the 13th district, "Dou Daqi".

"Xiao Liu, busy with your going, I'll take my eldest niece to the command room." Dou Daqi said as he stretched out his hand to pull Li Ruonan's hand.

Li Ruonan was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged to the side, rushed out of the elevator, and gave a military salute to Dou Daqi, "Dou... Commander, reconnaissance team Li Ruonan came to report. ”

Dou Daqi slapped his big hand on his head, laughed, and said, "Hey, then you should be a teenage girl, you will grow into a big girl." ”

"Let's go, go to the command room with me, and talk about what Lao Li's eight lambs think? The eldest niece is so old that she will find an in-law. ”

"Uncle Dou..."

Most of the families in the war were miserable, and Li Ruonan's was the same, when his parents were killed in the Taya invasion at the age of eight, and an eight-year-old child was displaced by the fleeing crowd in the disaster, his situation can be imagined.

A lucky encounter changed her life, Li Shilong gave speeches at various gathering places at that time, and during the speech, Xiao Ruonan was called to the stage and recognized the righteous daughter in public.

That year, Li Ruonan followed Li Shilong around, and was often brought to the stage by Li Shilong, telling the story of recognizing women in public, which often aroused warm applause from the audience.

As the voice became louder and louder, Li Shilong's status also rose, and finally became the federal representative of the Eastern Theater of Operations.

People naturally have a lot of things to do in high positions, saying that they can't take care of Li Ruonan, and they can't let it go, Li Ruonan is like an abandoned rag doll, and was sent to Lei Shaoxuan by Li Shilong for foster care.

As the legendary Major General Lei Shaoxuan in the Eastern Theater, the heavy military affairs will not be less than Li Shilong, but he did not refuse, but left Li Ruonan by his side, taught her to learn, and let her grow.

Li Ruonan was the Dou Daqi he met when he was by Lei Shaoxuan's side, this rugged northern man, he was still very young at that time, and his voice was much louder than now.

He gave Li Ruonan the impression that he was straightforward and heroic.

"Big niece, can't you take that face-slapping thing off?"

In the command room, Dou Daqi sat on the chair, his back was straight, his strong body did not touch the back of the chair, and he was looking at Li Ruonan's protective mask with bright eyes at the moment.

Li Ruonan's face turned red again, since he arrived here, the blush on his face didn't seem to have subsided, he slowly took off his mask, and a cold and beautiful face jumped out.

"Tut-tut, I don't know that little bastard can take this flower of our house away."

Seeing Li Ruonan's changes, Dou Daqi's eyes brightened, "Okay, it's good, Lao Lei didn't find you a mother-in-law?" ”

"Uncle Dou, it's okay, let's get down to business!" Li Ruonan finally couldn't stand Dou Daqi's ridicule.

"Finally called uncle, you, you're too depressed, let's get down to business." Dou Daqi grinned, then his face turned grim, and he said, "Let's talk about the task assigned to you by Lao Lei." ”

"Uncle Dou, general..."Li Ruonan just said this, when he saw Dou Daqi's eyes glaring, he changed his words: "Uncle Lei asked us to come, the first is to understand the situation, the second is to help District 13 repair communications as soon as possible, and third..."

"What's wrong? Let's say, Lao Lei's eyes are poisonous, and he sees things very accurately, if I don't compare to him on this point, just him, and a legendary major general? Dou Daqi pursed his lips, and the stubble on his face swung to one side, as if to show disdain.

"The third is that this is probably the place where the Taya people attacked first, Uncle Lei said, four months of consumption, their food is running out, and the attack is likely to be fierce."

"Oh," Dou Daqi said nonchalantly.

"Uncle Dou, tell me about your situation, is the food still enough? And..."Li Ruonan said that when he found this rugged man, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Uncle Dou?" Li Ruonan asked.

"Food..."Dou Daqi sighed, "Ruonan, you come with me." ”

Dou Daqi took Li Ruonan not to take the elevator, but to walk the ladder, and the soldiers Li Ruonan saw along the way were all in pain. She couldn't understand it, "With Uncle Dou's temper, you shouldn't bring out such soldiers." ”

Walking up the stairs for two floors, Dou Daqi turned around and entered the passage of this floor, and Li Ruonan followed closely.

The passage is narrow and dim, with a dim sconces reaching the corner of the passage.

"This used to be a reserve warehouse, and... Incinerators. Dou Daqi's voice was desolate.

Li Ruonan knows where the storage warehouse and incineration site are, and she has lived in a residential area and knows the structure of the residential area.

Each ghetto is a place inhabited by civilians, covering a very large area, with a population of more than one million, and all the production and living utensils, even weapons and parts, are also provided by the residential area.

The living area is hierarchical, with all kinds of people having their own living areas, and various facilities needed for life, such as air purification processors and compressed oxygen storage warehouses, also have separate spaces.

The living conditions here are harsh, especially during the black rainy season, food, oxygen, all need quotas, must be saved, saved, saved.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are processes that people must go through, and in such a harsh environment, the time of this process is greatly shortened, so a large number of deaths need to be incinerated uniformly.

That's where the "incineration site" comes in.

Dou Daqi walked forward step by step along the corridor, his steps became heavier and heavier, as if every step he took, a boulder would press on his body, making his tall waist look a little rickety.

Walking around the corner, his footsteps stopped in front of a giant door several meters high, on which were written two green Chinese characters, "hope".

Li Ruonan looked up at this giant door, what a beautiful wish for "hope".

The door creaked, and the huge door opened to both sides, and a smell of burnt paste accompanied by a sad smell came to the face.

"Ahh

She didn't know how big this incineration site was, but she could see the people neatly arranged on the ground, dense and boundless.

An incomparably huge furnace in the incineration field emitted blazing flames, and the flames were strange and dazzling, and Li Ruonan's eyes flowed out of crystal tears.

seemed to sense Li Ruonan's sadness, the flame swayed, and suddenly became soft and warm, as if comforting softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, you should laugh, you should bless, because we have found hope!" ”

Li Ruonan's tears could no longer restrain the flow, and finally with a wow, he cried bitterly, and the cry was sad.

Hearing Li Ruonan's cry, Dou Daqi had tears in his eyes, his voice was hoarse, and he said: "This time the black rain came too suddenly, food, oxygen, we saved, saved, but it was still not enough." ”

"One day two months ago, these kind people came here spontaneously, left their food, took off their oxygen masks, and ended their lives peacefully," Speaking of this, Dou Daqi's voice was already choked, "The "hope" on the door is what they wrote, and they want to tell me that they are looking for hope, so that I don't feel guilty and don't blame myself. ”

"But even if I don't have a brain, I can know why?"

"In order not to embarrass me, for the sake of the 90,000 young soldiers in this defense area."

"100,000 people! Just for the sake of me, a person who doesn't have a long brain, is it worth it? ”

Dou Daqi suddenly bent his knees and fell to the ground, touched the ground with his head, knocked his head heavily, and raised his face full of tears, and said: "I Dou Daqi, don't kneel to the sky, don't kneel to the ground, only kneel to my father, only kneel to you!" ”
