The weather in Beijing was a few degrees lower than in Shanghai, and I couldn't help but sigh as I walked out of the airport wearing a heavy coat: "The world has really become smaller." ”

The former Li Yulang followed behind me, and there was no other entourage. When we walked out of the airport after picking up our luggage, we saw several people in the exit hall walking towards us. When he arrived in front of him, he asked, "Is it Mr. Ba Xiaoshan?" ”

"507's?" I asked.

"Yes." The other party showed up his identification, and I nodded and said, "I'm Ba Xiaoshan." ”

I followed them out of the airport, got into a black car, and made my way on. I've been to the headquarters of 507 in Beijing once or twice, and I have to say that it's a very private place. Its location is near the Miyun Reservoir and is a secret base built inside the reservoir building.

"I thought it was to take me to the hotel, why did you come directly to the base?" I wasn't very familiar with the topographical route of Beijing, so I asked strangely.

"Oh, it's explained above, all the people who enter the game and those who follow them will be arranged to live inside the base, you guys sit down, we are about to enter the base." The man driving the car said as he carefully parked the car on a slightly raised rock.

The former Li Yulang next to me was still the first time to come to the headquarters of Beijing 507, and he felt very novel, looking out the window and saying strangely: "Why is it all water?" Where's the base? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone under the car suddenly raised slightly, and then rotated, and then the big stone that supported us slowly descended, and the raised stone that had just stopped was actually a lifting platform. The vehicle descended about 10 meters, and the underground space was brightly lit, which was a very solid underground fortification, and after the elevator stopped, the car started again and drove forward.

"Oh my God, the current is above us, and I can see the aquatic plants and the fish." The former Li Yulang shouted in a rather fuss, "Won't the water pressure collapse if it's so strong?" ”

"Our underground fortifications are reinforced every year." The driver spoke very little, and his face was expressionless, apparently specially trained.

"Oh......" the former Li Yulang looked around.

After driving forward for about 100 meters, the car stopped, and I opened the door with my bag on my back, and saw a row of personnel from the 507 headquarters wearing uniform waiting for me. ”

The facilities of the 507 headquarters are not bad at all, except that the decoration is a little simpler, the accommodation conditions, food and daily necessities are all falling. We were accommodated in a cleanly cleaned dormitory, which wasn't particularly spacious, but neither of us was that elegant.

"At six o'clock in the evening, the Sha Lao will hold a meeting of the first entrants, which is a temporary pass with the fingerprints of two registered people. Walk 30 meters to the left and you will see an elevator for people. You can come and go as you please, and you can make internal calls if you have any problems. ”

After the man finished explaining, he left, I sat on the bed and lit a cigarette, and heard the former Li Yulang ask, "This place is so big, have you walked around?" ”

"Hehe, I advise you not to wander around, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you, there are some places where you may be killed." The former Li Yulang was so frightened by me, and hurriedly said, "I know I know......"

After packing my bags and looking at the time, there were still two or three hours before the meeting, and I thought that it was not interesting to sit like this, the signal under the water was not good, the TV was full of snowflakes when it was turned on, and the radio was intermittent.

"Let's go out on the water." Although I have been here a few times, I have come to do errands, and the itinerary is relatively hurried, and I have not been around Miyun Reservoir well. This place is a big reservoir for all Beijing people to drink water, not to mention the strange things in Miyun Reservoir, the scenery itself is also good, and it is good to catch a fish or something.

Out of the door, take the elevator to the top floor, when I went out, I found that it was in a lonely house, out of the house is the Miyun Reservoir, although it is not the largest reservoir in China, compared with the Three Gorges Reservoir, it is much smaller, but it is still very broad, from a distance, it is like a big lake, the breeze blows through, and the water surface is sparkling and very beautiful.

I walked to the surface of the water with the former Li Yulang, threw the stone into the water, turned around and said with a smile: "Teach you a trick, I played it when I was a child." ”

As he spoke, he picked out a stone that looked thin at the edge, and then threw it out with the strength of his wrist, and the stone jumped six or seven times on the water, jumped out for a long distance, and then sank into the water.

"Hehe, we Japanese kids used to play a lot when they were young, and so will I, the game?"

The former Li Yulang smiled and competed with me, we were playing, but I caught a glimpse of a black car driving not far away, I signaled the former Li Yulang to stop the action, and then looked at it from a distance, the former Li Yulang saw that my expression was solemn, his face was serious, and he knew that something big was probably happening, and he looked at my gaze, and the black car was followed by several cars, and the whole convoy was parked next to the reservoir.

"Fleet? Cognitive? The former Li Yulang asked strangely.

"That's Sha Lao's car." I replied in a low voice.

The former Li Yulang had never seen Sha Lao's convoy, in fact, Sha Lao had not come to the base in Shanghai much since several years ago, and the power was completely delegated to Uncle Jia Yi and Old Man Tao.

Sure enough, after the old Hongqi sedan in the middle stopped, a tall man in a black suit walked down and opened the back door, the door was still open backwards, Sha Lao slowly walked down from the Hongqi sedan with the support of the people next to him, on crutches, which used to be his decoration, but now it has become a necessity. There was also a middle-aged man who got off the Hongqi car, combing a long braid, wearing a placket Tang costume, his eyes were indifferent and his expression was cold, but the qi that was unintentionally exuded was so strong that it was earth-shattering, and even the pores of my whole body were constantly conveying a message to the brain from such a distance: danger! This man is very dangerous!

If it weren't what I expected, this person should be Zhong Ba Nian.

Sha Lao got out of the car and pushed away the person next to him, slowly straightened his waist, and walked towards the water's edge step by step, at this time the person next to him saw me and the former Li Yulang, so he leaned close to Sha Lao's ear and said, Sha Lao raised his head and looked at me from afar, we looked at each other from a long distance, and then I saw him beckoning to me.

"Ba Xiaoshan, the old man beckoned to you." The former Li Yulang said immediately after seeing it.

"I see, let's go." Walked towards Sha Lao step by step, at this moment, the man next to Sha Lao who should be Zhong Eight-Year also looked at me, looked at me with an arrogant look, and did not show vigilance against me, maybe in the eyes of such a super master, I still can't pose a threat.

When I got closer, I was stopped by several men in black, who searched me and put me in a protective circle.

I haven't seen Sha Lao for many years, he looks old as if he will fall into a coffin in the next second, he looks tired, his face is full of wrinkles and age spots, but his hand holding the cane is not shaking, and his back is still straight. When he saw me, he said, "It's been a long time, Xiaoshan. ”

The voice is hoarse and the breath is insufficient. I smiled, bowed down, and then said, "Sha Lao, it's been a long time. ”

"The gift you gave me is very good, this entry is my praise for you, work hard in the future, and the 507 Institute will definitely have a piece of your world in the future."

"Huh...... Sha Lao, let's stop playing official with each other. You know why I'm here, and I know you're not going to let me get it. "I've made it clear.

"Haha, you're so much more confident than you used to be. I still have the impression that you were a few years ago, and you seem to be submissive when you encounter problems, afraid of causing trouble and afraid of lack of strength. Now you're really hardened with wings......" he said with a smile, and then turned back, "Eight years, this is the young handsome man I often mention to you, Ba Xiaoshan." In the past, he has helped me do a lot of great things, and he is a hero of our 507 Institute. ”

Sure enough, this middle-aged man with terrifying strength was Zhong Ba Nian, and after Sha Lao finished introducing him, he took a step towards me and stretched out his hand.
