A volume sixty-five on the eve of the war
When Shao Hu, Black Butterfly, and Ah Long were having dinner, a phone call came from Shi Dehou, asking him to hurry to the General Bureau, there was a very important meeting.
The gate of the General Headquarters, which usually has two policemen standing guard, is now replaced by four soldiers; Dozens of military vehicles are parked in the courtyard, and soldiers are transporting guns and ammunition from the basement. When Shao Hu came to the General Administration and saw this scene, he understood in his heart that the "Dawn Treaty" had been suspended.
Shao Hu went up to the second floor and walked to the conference room, and was surprised again: not only Bai Yuanshan and Zhang Biao of the General Bureau, but also the main leaders of the four sub-bureaus also arrived, Fu Zhengxian and Shi Dehou of the Beicheng Branch, Liu Mingcun and Tao Jun of the Nancheng Branch, Chen Xuefeng and Chen Haibo of the Dongcheng Branch, and Fu Jie of the Xicheng Branch - of course, Old Man Yue was attacked and killed, and the burden of the West Bureau fell on Shao Hu's shoulders, although there has been no formal appointment yet.
Shi Dehou waited for Shao Hu and the other three sub-bureaus to finish greeting, and as soon as he winked, he walked out of the conference room one after the other and arrived at the smoking place at the end of the corridor. Shao Hu saw Shi Dehou take out a pack of cigarettes, so he smiled and said, "Why did you smoke suddenly?" Shi Dehou handed Shao Hu a cigarette, and when he lit it, he said, "You say, we are more likely to die from smoking?" Or is it more likely that he will die in war? ”
Shao Hu smiled and took a puff of his cigarette to represent the answer.
Shi Dehou flicked the cigarette ash and said, "They are all recruited, and the attack on Old Man Yue's convoy and your house in the Hanging Garden was indeed done by the people of the Qinglong Gang." ”
Shao Hu asked, "Did you recruit that person from the Great Snow Mountain?" ”
Shi Dehou shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if he recruits or not." As soon as the meeting is over, someone will take a troop to the Blue Dragon Gang. ”
Shao Hu nodded, and after a while, he asked again: "War is about to start?" ”
Shi Dehou hummed and said, "Tomorrow at noon." By the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest. ”
At this time, a group of people walked down from the third floor, and at the front were Mayor Bai and Director Lu, followed by their secretary and other entourage. Shi Dehou patted Shao Hu on the shoulder, and the two snuffed out their cigarette butts and hurriedly returned to the conference room to sit down.
Mayor Bai's style of handling affairs has always been vigorous and resolute, and he said directly: "Our meeting is to give the issue of the commander-in-chief of the front. ”
The secretary posted a defense map on the white wall. Director Lu walked over, drew with his hand on the location of the Boundary River, and said: "The first line of defense is in the Boundary River, the second line of defense is in the Bison Slope, the third line of defense is in the Black Pine Forest, the fourth line of defense is in the Red Flower Valley, and the fifth line of defense is ...... It's our wall. Our troops were divided into three divisions, the first division on the left flank, the second division on the right flank, and the third division in the middle, which was commanded by the General Directorate. ”
Mayor Bai said: "The command of the first division was handed over to Director Liu Mingcun, the command of the second division was handed over to Director Fu Zhengxian, and the command of the third division was handed over to Director Lu Lingdong. In addition, Director Chen Xuefeng led the militia regiment as a reserve army. Speaking of this, he took a look at Shao Hu and Fu Jie, "Everyone knows that because Director Yue was killed, the men and horses in Xicheng were dispatched by Director Lu. ”
Then, Director Lu asked everyone, "Is there any problem?" ”
There was nothing to do in the conference room, no one spoke.
Director Lu said: "Give you time tomorrow morning, and if you have anything to do at home, you must quickly arrange it, and you must report to your unit before noon." He knocked on the table and said, "Adjournment!" ”
As soon as everyone heard the order to adjourn the meeting, they rushed out of the conference room. Shao Hu was also about to get up and leave, but he saw Director Lu waving his hand to him, so he sat down again. When there were only three people in the conference room, Mayor Bai, Director Lu, and Shao Hu, Shao Hu came over and sat on the seats opposite them, and asked, "What are your orders?" ”
Mayor Bai stared at Shao Hu's eyes and asked, "Did Director Yue let you carry out any secret mission before his death?" ”
Shao Hu shook his head and said, "No." ”
Director Lu spoke: "Now it's just the three of us, you can say whatever you have." ”
Shao Hu sighed and said, "The last time I went to the Great Snow Mountain, it was indeed because I was bored and wanted to go around and relax, but I didn't expect to run into a war between the Council of Elders and the White Light Society, this is really just a coincidence." ”
Director Lu glanced at Mayor Bai, and then asked Shao Hu: "We know that you entered through the relationship of Zhang Tong of Dadongmen, but when you came back, you were ,—— with someone from Beishan, what is the woman's name?" ”
Shao Hu smiled and said bluntly, "Her name is Black Butterfly." There's no secret here, and I can't explain it for a while, but I can make a long story short and briefly explain: on my first night in the Great Snow Mountain, the black butterfly found me. ”
Director Lu asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
Shao Hu said: "Old Brother Zhang wants me to follow him to fight Beishan. I didn't say yes. Black Butterfly found me to ask me to promise Brother Zhang. ”
Director Lu didn't understand and asked, "Black Butterfly is from Beishan, why did you convince you to fight them Beishan?" ”
Shao Hu said: "She wants to win me over, maybe it is unlikely to win me over directly, so let me follow Brother Zhang's troops to discover the secrets of Daxue Mountain, and then decide which side to stand on." After capturing Beishan, we found that there was a secret passage under Beishan, so I took a few people into it, and then walked all the way, and there was a section in the middle that was sealed, and after it exploded, we found that we had arrived at the underground secret research base in Nanshan. Where we found the truth about the Presbyterians' 'immortality'......"
Director Lu asked, "What truth?" ”
Shao Hu said: "Their technology can already do it, clean one person's brain, and then copy the other's brain data through the computer." The children we rescued from the Great Snow Mountain were prepared for the powerful who wanted to be 'immortal'. After learning the truth, several people I brought with me were furious and unanimously decided to go against it. ”
After hearing this, Director Lu and Mayor Bai were stunned for a while.
Shao Hu continued: "We found the black butterfly imprisoned underground again, so we rescued her as well. Later, the people of Beishan began to fight back, and we went to Beishan to rest for a few days, and Black Butterfly took the initiative to take us down the mountain from the north, and after walking south for a few days, we arrived at the north gate of Dawn City. ”
Mayor Bai couldn't stop nodding, and as soon as Shao Hu finished speaking, he said: "You have rescued more than 50 children, this is a great achievement, if it is not the special situation now, I really want to hold a commendation meeting for you." ”
Shao Hu shrugged, which meant that it was not necessary.
Mayor Bai coughed, cleared his throat, and then got to the point: "We want to join forces with Beishan." ”
Shao Hu was stunned for a moment.
Director Lu said to Shao Hu: "We know that Beishan and Nanshan have been fighting fiercely for more than a week, and we know that their weapons are much, much more advanced than ours, but will Beishan refuse a helper?" We can join forces with Kitayama and flank the Presbyterian Church. ”
Shao Hu asked, "What about the conditions?" ”
Director Lu looked at Mayor Bai, and then said to Shao Hu, "As long as Beishan provides us with advanced weapons." ”
Shao Hu thought for a while and said, "They don't know what might happen in the future once those weapons fall into our hands......
Mayor Bai said: "You don't have to worry about this, just tell them." ”
Shao Hu nodded.
Director Lu handed Shao Hu a business card and said, "During this period, you can contact me at any time." ”
Shao Hu took the business card and glanced at it, and asked, "When do you want to get a reply?" ”
Director Lu said: "The sooner the better!" ”
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Shao Hu returned to his home in the hanging garden, and saw Black Butterfly sitting alone in the living room drinking tea, as if waiting for him, so he walked over to her and asked, "Can't you sleep?" ”
"I woke up after two hours of sleep." Black Butterfly said, made Shao Hu a cup of tea, and served it to him.
Shao Hu took a few sips of tea and asked, "There is an emergency, I must tell you." ”
Black Butterfly said calmly, "Say it." ”
Shao Hu said: "Our leaders want to join forces with you Beishan, as long as you provide weapons, we will launch an attack on the Great East Gate." ”
Black Butterfly laughed halfway through this.
Shao Hu asked, "Is it funny?" ”
Black Butterfly shook her head and said, "It's easy to hand over the weapon to you, but it's hard to take it back." ”
Shao Hu nodded and said, "You don't want to take the weapon back. Even so, will you say yes? ”
Black Butterfly said, "I don't know. ”
Shao Hu asked: "Now among you people in Beishan, who can call the shots and give me an answer?" ”
"Now...... Black Butterfly thought for a moment and said, "In the past, we had a professor in charge of everything big and small, but now he has become a giant god...... I can take you up the hill and ask. ”
Shao Hu was very happy, held Black Butterfly's hand, and said, "Thank you!" After a while, he said, "It's not early, go back and rest." ”
The two left the tea table and went upstairs, and when they walked to Shao Hu's bedroom door, Black Butterfly smiled and said, "Good night." Then he walked inside to her bedroom.
Shao Hu also said "good night", watched her walk into the bedroom, closed the door, and then returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed.
The next morning, Shao Hu woke up and wanted to go to the bathroom, but when he walked over, he found that someone had stuffed a piece of paper through the crack in the door, so he picked it up and saw that it was written by Black Butterfly: "When you wake up, come to my room." ”
Shao Hu didn't know what to mean, but still walked to Black Butterfly's bedroom door and knocked on the door.
The door opened, Black Butterfly was still wearing pajamas, she invited Shao Hu to come in and sit on the chair in front of the bed, and said, "You also know that we almost died in the Great Snow Mountain, and we don't know what it looks like on it now...... If you want to go up with me, you must first promise me one thing. ”
Shao Hu smiled and said, "No matter what, I promise you." ”
Black Butterfly nodded, opened the closet, took out a backpack from it, opened the backpack again, and took out a helmet-shaped instrument......
Shao Hu saw the confusion on his face and asked, "What is this?" ”
Black Butterfly said, "Replicator." If you want to follow me up to the Great Snow Mountain, you must first make a copy of your brain and keep it well. If you have an accident, I can find a way to revive you. ”
Shao Hu smiled after hearing this, and said, "How can a person be saved if he dies?" I don't want to occupy other people's bodies. ”
Black Butterfly shook her head and said, "Instead of occupying someone else's body, I have another way. ”
Shao Hu asked, "What way?" ”
Black Butterfly said: "Xiao Feng has already researched the human flesh that he can make. ”
