As soon as he entered the beginning of a dream, Zhou Zhen was shaken awake, and the content of the dream was forgotten.

"You're Zhou, aren't you? General Bernard, please go over now. ”

A middle-aged officer with a bar and two stars on his epaulettes stood in front of the bed and looked at him.

"What about H?"

Zhou Zhen rolled over and yawned sleepily.

"Did you say the second lieutenant? was detained by General Bernard, and if the information he provided was not true, it would be corrected on the spot, so you should hurry up. ”

The officer urged impatiently, and without waiting for Zhou Qian, he turned around and walked out of the barracks, Zhou Zhen picked up the kettle at the head of the bed and poured two sips of cold water, and quickly followed.

Walking through most of the barracks, the officer stopped in front of a heavily guarded bunker, shook the bell in front of the door, and opened a small window in the iron door.

"I brought Zhou Zhen with me."

The officer turned sideways and bowed to Zhou Qian, Zhou Zhen took a step forward and showed his face, and there was a sound of unlocking from behind the iron door, which sounded like a lot of locks, and after a few minutes, the iron door was slowly pushed open.

The bunker was brightly lit, all electric lights were used, the officer led the way in front, Zhou Zhen followed behind him, the deeper he went, the more he smacked his tongue, almost a battalion of troops was stationed in the bunker, the armory was full of light and heavy weapons, and the shower room was equipped with an electric water heater.

Near the vents, there is even a small arsenal hidden, using advanced equipment before the energy war, Zhou Zhen estimated, the production capacity here will not be very high, but the production of bullets and firearms should be very rich.

"Where do you get so much energy?" Zhou Zhen muttered to himself.

"This basin is a crater and we can harness geothermal energy." The officer replied without looking back.

"Just told me so easily?" Zhou Zhen was a little surprised, the energy extraction point is a secret to any force.

"Do you think you'll be able to get out of here?" The officer turned his head and smiled sympathetically.

General Bernard's office, next to a greenhouse, was huge, with bookshelves on the walls and floors piled high with paper books.

These paper books are a rarity, printing houses died out in the government era, and in the era of corporate alliances, reading was recognized as an act that could easily lead to lost work, and on the neutrino network, the media were not allowed to publish articles of more than 1,000 words, and books were replaced by more intuitive short videos and pictures.

On the wall facing the doorway of the office, there was a table of eight immortals and two chairs of the Taishi, on the table of the eight immortals was a bottle of aged whiskey and an antique M500 revolver, General Bernard was dressed in a faded military uniform, sitting on the Taishi chair on the left, and H stood beside him in handcuffs, smiling bitterly at Zhou Qian.

The officer gave Bernard a standard military salute and turned and walked out of the office.

"Bernard, you're old." Bernard in Zhou Zhen's memory was a young general who commanded an army of 100,000 people, high-spirited and scolded Fang Xuan, while the old man in front of him was already dying, his face was full of age spots, reading glasses with a tether hanging on the bridge of his nose, and his legs were trembling slightly under the Taishi chair.

Bernard took off his reading glasses, hung them on the pocket of his military uniform, and observed Zhou Zhen with a frown: "After such a pair of skins, how do I know that it is really you?" ”

"You also helped me change my skin, you and Hayes conspired to kill Jiro Oshima's pursuers in the old city." Zhou Zhen reminded.

"Well, yes, Hayes, it's a pity, but he's still talking, and promised me to send me a right-hand man, and you did." Bernard nodded, his right hand pressed against the revolver on the table.

Zhou Zhen was awe-inspiring in his heart, could it be that Hayes had long expected that he would not cooperate with Jiro Oshima? It seems that this old comrade-in-arms really sees himself clearly.

"But the old city thing, it's also possible that Thomas's kid didn't say it strictly, I haven't seen Thomas, and I haven't seen you the way you are now, so I can only try you."

Bernard picked up the revolver and threw it to Zhou Zhen, and tilted his head towards H next to him: "Kill this guy." ”

"Okay." Zhou Zhiyi raised his hand to take the pistol and fired two shots at H.

H was begging for mercy, two bullets pressed against his scalp and grazed the top of his head, and a puff of green smoke rose from his curly hair, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his mouth wide open and unable to make a sound.

Bernard stroked the white whiskers on his lips, squinted at H, and then applauded Zhou Zhen twice: "Good marksmanship, you are Zhou Zhen, the Zhou Zhen I know will not kill people who have helped him." ”

"Well, it's time to save your daughter, she didn't follow, and now she's in danger." Zhou is down to business, he is very worried about Amiko's safety.

Bernard snorted: "Since the Battle of A28 twenty years ago, she has not been my daughter, and I will not save a traitor." ”

"It's just right, she doesn't admit that it's your daughter, crying and clamoring to recognize me as a father, if you don't save her, I'll save her."

Zhou Zhen shook the revolver at Bernard: "This thing is just your gift to me." ”

"Don't bother, I taught her a skill, and the saber parasitic system was also given to her, and she still needs you to save it with this broken copper and iron?" Bernard sarcastically said angrily.

"This time the situation is different, it is Solomon the head of A01's security that is following us, he has an armor parasitic system, and Amiko is not his opponent." Zhou Zhen also snorted: "Your subordinates who have broken copper and iron, the daughter you have cultivated for more than ten years, you haven't even found anyone following you all the way." ”

Zhou Zhen walked up to Bernard as he spoke, and was not polite to him, and reached out to untie his bullet belt.

Bernard's face became a little ugly when he heard the armor parasitic system, he opened Zhou Zhen's hand, untied the bullet belt and handed it to him: "To deal with the armor, do you still need a gunner?" ”

Zhou Zhen slung the bullet belt on his shoulder and snapped his fingers at Bernard: "Yes, you're not old and confused." ”

H sat on the ground and raised his hand: "I can go with you." ”

Zhou Zhen turned his head to look at him, raised his hand and fanned his nose: "Forget it, go back to the tent and wash your pants, you pee." ”

H hurriedly stood up and covered his wet crotch and bowed to Bernard with an embarrassed face.

"Second Lieutenant H, your intelligence is correct, go to Lieutenant Colonel Dong and add a star to you." Bernard patted H on the back, and H thanked him again and again and ran out.

"Shall I send someone for you or will you find someone yourself?" Bernard turned his head and asked Zhou Qian.

Zhou Zhen smiled: "The gunman I want has already sent it to you." ”

"Who?" Bernard asked curiously.

"Three months ago, an old couple approached your robbery squad and asked them to bring back a wounded man who didn't have an ID chip, right?"

Zhou Zhen filled the bullets of the revolver and aimed at the crosshairs.

"You arranged that guy in?" Bernard cocked Erlang's legs, his fingers resting on his beard.

"Well, his name is Zhong Xiaoguang, and he is an intern I brought with him in the Armored Rat Company."

...

When Zhong Xiaoguang walked into the bunker office, Zhou Zhen was sitting on the Taishi chair on the right, holding a bottle of whiskey with the cork in his arms, and smelling the long-lost aroma of wine with his eyes closed.

"Lao Zhou, don't you want to take a sip?" Zhong Xiaoguang's voice was hoarse like a file.

Zhou Zhen raised his head and opened his eyes, the person in front of him was almost unrecognizable, Zhong Xiaoguang was wearing a government uniform, his face had a messy beard, the scar left by the gunshot wound on his neck was still red, the immaturity in his eyes had been replaced by calmness, and the bloodthirsty fierce light had also faded without a trace.

"You can't drink alcohol while on a mission, have you forgotten the rules?"

Zhou Zhen put the wine bottle back on the table of the Eight Immortals, and asked with a smile, "By the way, how did you recognize me?" ”

"When the old castle assassinated the guards of the Oshima Jiro faction, I was the team leader, so naturally I know that you have changed your body, and with your sitting appearance, I have never seen anyone more like a mess of mud than you sitting."

Zhong Xiaoguang sneered twice, then pulled the wound and coughed loudly: "It's been so long, I still don't know whether to thank you or hate you." ”

"No need, killing you is a task requirement, saving you is to use you, it's not a personal grudge." Zhou Zhi said lightly.

"Oh, you saved him? Then I should thank you, he is now my best guard. Bernard took a sip of the bottle and wiped his mouth.

"You don't have to thank me, my parasitic system was implanted by you back then, I stabbed him in the heart at that time, and dripped a few drops of blood on his wound, the parasitic robot in my blood saved his life, in the end, his life was saved by you." Zhou Zhen waved his hand to Bernard and explained slowly.

"So, you have another task for me?" Zhong Xiaoguang asked, rubbing his aching chest.

"Well, we need to save someone, cooperate from near and far, I will be responsible for the negotiation, and you will be the gunman cover, just like the previous time outside the old city." Zhou Zhen gestured and explained.

Zhong Xiaoguang didn't speak, just looked at General Bernard, waiting for his order, Bernard took another sip of wine: "This is not the task of the government army, it is Zhou Qian's own task, you decide for yourself." ”

"Why should I help you?" Zhong Xiaoguang turned to Zhou Qian.

"It's not for me, it's a test for you." Zhou Zhen waved his finger and denied.

Zhong Xiaoguang laughed, and the laughter was like metal rubbing, making Zhou Zhen feel his scalp tingle: "Test? Don't forget, I'm not your intern anymore. ”

"Don't get me wrong, it's not the same as the internship test, it's a prize test." Zhou Zhen pressed the back of his neck and said.

"Then I'm even less interested, the prizes you gave were all bloody, and the last 1,000-kilowatt-hour energy cost me a life." Zhong Xiaoguang took a few steps back, turned around and prepared to leave.

Zhou Zhen threw a bullet at Zhong Xiaoguang's feet, blocking his way: "You will be interested, the prize this time is your identity and the Armored Squirrel Company." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhong Xiaoguang turned his head.

"If you save the target and you and I don't die, then you can get your ID chip back and become the CEO of the Armored Rat." Zhou Zhen's fingers tapped on the armrest of the Taishi chair.

"The CEO of Armored Rat? Haha, no kidding, there are Thomas, Cheng Xu, Natasha, and a bunch of twenty or thirty-year-old employees in the Armored Mouse Company, how can it be my turn? ”

Zhong Xiaoguang smiled and picked up the bullet on the ground and threw it back to Zhou Qian.

Zhou Zhen took the bullet lightly and explained with a serious expression: "Nothing is impossible, the Armored Rat Company is now up to me, the challenges to be faced in the future are different from the past, any decision is related to the lives of tens of billions of people, in this case, you have an advantage over them." ”

"What advantages?" Zhong Xiaoguang also heard a little about energy experiments, and he finally agreed that Zhou Zhen was not joking.

"You have died once, and those who have died once understand the value of life better." Zhou Zhen pinched the bullet and pointed it at his heart, and his fingertips stabbed the primer behind the bullet casing

"You've died once, too." Zhong Xiaoguang took a step closer to him and asked.

"Well, I'll replace you and stay in the gang, I need me more here."

Zhou Zhen looked at General Bernard, who slapped the table of the Eight Immortals and corrected in a reprimanding tone: "What gang?" It's the government reviving the Resistance Union Army! ”
