In the gloomy sky, among the guards of the helicopter Li Jun and several people, they flew straight towards Z Peak.

The sun is almost setting. Night is coming. Fortunately, there were no other accidents on the day of the trip. The group found a flat spot to park the helicopter.

Each of them chose an open space. I took out the tent storage box that I had brought with me. The box is the size of a square two centimeters long and wide. Placed on the ground, the box opened automatically, and in a short time a single tent was propped up.

Then Lake built a fire for everyone to gather around after they were settled. It adds a touch of light to the dark night.

Not only to illuminate, but also to dispel some mutant beasts, although mutated, but their instinct to fear fire still retains a little.

After lighting the fire, Lake walked over to Li Jun. The rest of the people are also refueling. Each eats the energy bar they bring with them.

"Come on, have a bit." Lake handed Li Jun an energy bar.

Li Jun waved his hand and took one out of his pocket.

"I have."

This kind of energy bar will not be issued more than one task per mission, and only five will be given to each person, so Li Jun who is given by Lake will not pick it up. It's a lifesaver in the wild.

Although it is small, it can replenish the energy needed by the human body for two days.

Lake wasn't polite, and put the bar back in his pocket. Sitting next to Li Jun, he saw Li Jun eating without a bite. I was a little stunned.

So he asked, "Which brother are you thinking about?" ”

Li Jun came back to his senses, glanced at Lake, and nodded.

He didn't like Liu Jie. But after all, they have been together for so long, and after Liu Jie's death, he blamed himself in his heart, because he was the captain of this team and had the obligation to protect every member of the team.

"It's all my fault, I wish I had reminded everyone at that time, I felt that the sky was wrong, but I didn't say it. I didn't expect this to happen. Li Jun said with some self-reproach.

Lake patted Li Jun on the shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself, young man. Maybe it's the first time you've encountered something like this. But I'm telling you, as a person who has come before, that your self-blame is the most useless manifestation of it now, and you are not to blame for all this. ”

"Today's world is different from the world it used to be. Now this world is no longer inhabitable after the devastation of our human beings. But isn't the culprit of all this of our own making? ”

Lake sighed as he spoke, and he opened up the conversation at the moment.

"I'm sad that you lost a teammate today. But in today's world, this is the rule, the law of survival in today's world, if Liu Jie was as alert as Zhang Qiang at that time, would not such a thing happen. ”

"I'll tell you one of my stories."

"It was five or six years ago, the dungeon had just been built, and the underground passage had not yet been opened, and several of our military engineers were also out on a mission together. Escort a shipment of precious metals to another dungeon. ”

"At that time, a team was also hired to protect it. At first, everything went well. After the task is completed, on the way back. We met a mutant beast. A python. It is thirty or forty meters long. ”

"That time, our team of thirty people only survived me and one other staff member. Everyone else died, and they all swallowed it up. Do you know how me and he survived? ”

Li Jun shook his head. Indicates that he does not know.

"At that time, after the others were swallowed, I also knew that I would not survive this time. Because I couldn't raise a trace of courage in the face of it, and I simply lost the courage to fight. But it turned around and left. Before leaving, he looked at us with a contemptuous look. ”

"Later we learned that it should have been full in the end, so it was not interested in us. But that time I also knew that after I went back, in addition to work, I was working hard, and I hoped that I could become stronger. You don't have to lose your fighting spirit when you see a strange beast again in the future. ”

"I'm talking to you so much today just to tell you."

"Don't live for the sake of the dead, live for the sake of the living."

"You can't be resurrected from the dead. You can keep him in your heart. But that's not a stumbling block to your morale. ”

"As a mission team leader, you shouldn't blame yourself like that. What you should do when you come down is to go back and teach yourself a lesson, and train your team members well when you improve yourself. If you improve their abilities, will this happen again in the future? ”

"Good work, lad. There's still a long way to go. Lake patted Li Jun on the shoulder again, got up and went back to his tent.

Li Jun is actually not sad now, but a little sad. After a few years, there is no trace of emotion for Liu Jie, which is fake.

Lake's words also reminded him that he only knew how to blindly protect a few people before, but he never thought about training and cultivating a few people in the past, which is very important, and he will train when he goes back.

After deciding on his future plans, Li Jun looked up.

shouted and told several people to go back to their tents to sleep. He was in charge of the vigil.

Everyone is almost gone, leaving Sun Qian, Zhang Qiang and Bai Qi behind.

Li Jun looked at Sun Qian and said, "Go back and rest." You don't have to keep vigil tonight, there are enough people. ”

Sun Qian glanced at a few people, nodded, and returned to the tent, she actually wanted to talk to Li Jun about Liu Jie today.

Liu Jie has been blind to everything she has done to her in recent years. Somewhat know. But at most, she just ignored it, and she didn't have the hostility that Li Jun used to have.

After Liu Jie's death today, as a teammate, she is also the saddest one. You won't be able to sleep even if you lie down for a long time. Just lie quietly there.

Zhang Qiang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. took it out and handed one to Bai Qi and Li Jun.

Bai Qi took the cigarette, obviously an old smoker. Ignite skillfully, then take a sharp puff.

Li Jun actually doesn't know how to smoke, but he has something in mind today, so he still took it, lit it like Bai Qi, and took a puff.

"Ahem, cough, cough..." I couldn't control it for a while, and I choked and coughed.

Bai Qi and Zhang Qiang both laughed at Li Jun. The joy between men may be as simple as that, they like to see others in trouble.

After laughing for a while, Zhang Qiang stopped laughing, a little lost, and was stunned by the cigarette in his hand.

"It's better to be this thing."

Bai Qi nodded.

"It's just that everything has been eliminated in the past few hundred years, but this thing has never been outdated and still exists today."

Li Jun raised the cigarette butt in his hand.

"That's how amazing this thing is?"

Bai Qi smiled, "You don't understand, if you encounter troubles, you don't have to worry about one, and if one is not enough, you can come again." ”

The three big men kept chatting about what they had and what they didn't have. Laughing from time to time.

………

At the same time, country Z is located in the dungeon of City B.

In a circular building in the center of the city.

In an office on the second floor, a middle-aged man sits. The face of the national character, the eyes are bright. A neat inch of hair.

Sitting in the chair at the head of the round table, the ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts.

There were also eight people sitting on either side of the round table, both men and women, most of whom looked like they were in their forties and fifties.

"You can also express your opinion on this matter." Zhong Xiangtai said.

"The leader has already called me just now. It is said that the leading figures of various countries have been decided, and since the time has been advanced, then we still have to inform our low-level personnel of this news. Now it's just a matter of discussing the timing of the notice and the range of uncertainties that may arise after the announcement. ”

Zhong Xiangtai tapped his fingers on the table, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the people on both sides.

One of them spoke first, "Since the leader has already explained the meaning, then we should obey, I think we can be informed, after all, it is better to know and prepare early." ”

This person's name is Xie Li, and he is a military boss.

He was right, the soldier had to obey orders.

The other person answered.

"I don't think it's time yet, but it's still more than ten years away, isn't it too early to say now? If it is spread by some people with ulterior motives, will the situation not end well? ”

This person's name is Kong Zhida, and he is the city lord of this underground city in City B. And City B is the capital of country Z, and its status can be imagined.

Xie Li looked at him and asked.

"Then you say not now, when will you say it. If there's any accident, I can just send someone. ”

Kong Zhida shook his head.

"If something unexpected happens, then you can solve it without sending someone."

Zhong Xiangtai pondered for a while.

"Lao Li, how long is it now?"

Zhong Xiangtai asked a man in his forties.

A man in a research coat stood up, wearing a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

"Fourteen years, six months and three days."

Li Guangqi said.

"Then you give a time and think it's better to notify when you want to."

"This, I don't think it's better to say it now, saying it now, it will cause turmoil in the hearts of the people. It's not going to end well, I think we're waiting, and when we're almost done, we should be able to make an announcement. ”

Li Guangqi is now the president of the Academy of Science and Technology of country Z, and he is also the chief engineer of the construction of the spacecraft.

It's just that Li Jun is not here. If he were here, he would have recognized him.

This is the father he and his brother always thought had died in the war!

Li Guangqi should also have a hard time hiding the truth from Li Jun and Li Lin.

"Okay, just do as you say, and when your spaceship is built, just let me know. After all, they also have the right to know. ”

After Zhong Xiangtai finished speaking, he lit another cigarette.

"Everyone else is gone, Lao Li, you stay."

The rest of the people went out.

"Lao Li, how is the spaceship being built now?"

Lee Kwang-ki replied, "It's almost halfway there." Everything is normal. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about work, tell me about you, I heard that you have two sons?"

"Well, there are two more sons, who are now in City X."

Zhong Xiangtai took a puff of his cigarette.

"Haven't you been there in the past few years?"

"I didn't go, the task here is urgent. Let's talk about it later. It's not good for me to show up out of nowhere, he should have thought I was dead. ”

Zhong Xiangtai stood up and patted Li Guangqi.

"The two of you, the contributions you have made to the country in the past few years, the country will remember. No, it should be for the people of all Z countries. ”

"Still, you have to keep things in mind. You can't reveal a shred of information in advance, not even your son. ”

Li Guangqi nodded and said, "I know." ”

Zhong Xiangtai went out after speaking, but he didn't know that Li Guangqi had reminded Li Jun when he first knew.

As a father, you will have such a little selfish experience. However, he also believed that Li Jun would not spread this matter, and he did not believe his son.

……

Li Jun and the three of them kept watch all night.

It was just dawn the next day. The crowd packed up their gear. It's ready to go again.

Li Jun glanced at Sun Qian. Two dark circles were found.

This Nizi probably hasn't slept all night.
