Session 3: Together, a New Life (Part II)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The next day, with Alex's help in booking tickets, Luna and her brothers boarded a direct flight from Paris to Chengdu, China, on the same day. Bidding farewell to the French friends who came to see off the plane and his wife Laura, after a delay for so long, Xiaozhou and Chen Feng who were in exile were finally successfully "arrested", and Luna, who was relaxed, enjoyed the humanized leisure facilities provided by Air France alone in the first class, and the remaining four people could only reluctantly accept the difference in rank and generation, sitting on the left and right sides of the last row of economy class, complaining about the evil capitalism.

After eating an authentic Chinese meal at Su Li's house at noon yesterday, Yi Zhen and Zong Han, who were deeply uncomfortable with French eating habits, couldn't wait to return to the lovely motherland of "people take food as the sky", and Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng not only kept making amends to the housekeeper, but were also called by the housewife to do all kinds of trivial things to serve meals and plates, and after everyone finished eating, they not only contracted all the cleaning work of the dishes, but also had to brush the shoe prints left on the wall, so that when they arrived at Alex's residence at night, the two fell asleep directly. Until now, it still looks sluggish.

With the roar and vibration caused by the acceleration of the passenger plane, everyone still has to return to their own life after all.

Chen Feng had already put on his sunglasses and was ready to sleep, and then Yi Zhen realized that someone's shape was a little wrong, and hurriedly asked where Xiao Zhou's headband went, it was a signature equipment, why haven't you seen it in the past two days? Chen Feng, who was in a false sleep, answered this question for Xiao Zhou, saying that he was torn off by a little girl in the arms of an orange-haired foreign woman on the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne. Wing Zhen's first reaction turned out to be: "Then why don't you pull her child over and take her away?" Xiao Zhou was afraid of his brother's anger when he saw who burned whom, and after the lady found out, she also asked the child to return the headband, but the originally extremely well-behaved little girl was crying and making trouble for a while, and refused to let go no matter what. At that moment, Xiao Zhou's heart swelled with an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and he wanted to leave the headband in the little girl's hands like this, it felt like something that would eventually belong to her, and no one should take it away, but he didn't know why......

"Just a little memento I left in Germany." Xiao Zhou leaned back in his seat, and suddenly remembered something when he said this, "By the way, I brought you a gift from Cologne, so let's pick it yourself." The senior sister's credit card, she was present yesterday and didn't dare to say it. Yi Zhen and Zong Han took the bag and contained various key pendants with design elements such as Cologne Cathedral and the Hohenzollern Bridge. Wing Zhen is not interested in small bits and pieces, and he has no habit of carrying keys, what pendant do you want, can't you wear earrings? Xiao Zhou saw his brother's thoughts and told him that there were still six bottles of "4711[1]" in the consignment, and he would take them to everyone when he got off the plane. This aroused the curiosity of Yi Zhen: "German liquor? ”

During Xiao Zhou's words, Yaxing was swept away by this nonsense question on the spot, and Chen Feng, who was stunned for a while, pressed his sunglasses to the tip of his nose: "That's right, it's like Guojiao 1573." When the time comes, you can take two sips and taste it to ensure that it is refreshing. Zong Han knew that "4711" was a famous men's cologne in Cologne, and explained in passing in his complaint, lest the tendon of the wing really be fooled into testing the poison: "You two did it on purpose." As a sniper, lurking and concealment are the keys to saving my life, you either send small objects that jingle bells, or send perfume that you can smell from afar, brain-dead or murder? "Ahem, after fooling around outside for a while, I've almost forgotten my professional background and that of my brothers. Chen Feng smiled and said that at that time, he only cared about buying commemorative things, and he didn't think about it so much at all, so it was a big deal to not use it as a collector's item. Yi Zhen raised his fingers and calculated, he and Xiaozhou, Chen Feng, and Zong Han all shared, so what about the two bottles? Xiao Zhou said that a bottle was given to his brother Ling Xiaohan, who had been studying for a long time, and the remaining bottle was left for Luna. Zong Han really admired his brother, and he bought a gift with ridicule: "Come on, give my senior sister a man's perfume, doesn't this scold her for being a man?" It's better to give it to WinD, anyway, the money you spend is his. ”

“What？”

Zong Han told Xiaozhou about Lu Na's borrowing of 50,000 yuan from his senior brother, and finally solved the doubts in his heart, saying that why didn't the senior sister take back the unused credit card and didn't pursue the money in it, not only did she not lose money after a long time, but she still had to earn after pit the senior brother! And WinD's temper is not as hot as Luna's, but it has always been a gust of wind, if he plays a psychological trick to the gods, he is annoyed, hypnosis suggests that you go to jump off the building, you still think that you are airborne with a large army with an umbrella bag on your back, and you don't know how to die! Xiao Zhou originally wanted to owe her senior sister money at most, that is, she was beaten by Haibian, and said a few good words to coax her, and it would be good to pay it back slowly in the future, but who knew that now that the same amount of substitution will offend the senior brother, she really has the heart to open the safety door of the plane and jump down......

"Senior brother heard that we returned to China today, and specially arranged for two soldiers from the Fengshen Squadron under him to pick up the plane, probably because he was afraid that you, a high-value target, would abscond and escape."

Zong Han's fire-fueled intelligence made Xiaozhou, who was full of anxiety, really unable to sit still, got up and said to go to the toilet, but walked through the front business area and went straight to the luxuriously designed first-class cabin inside the passenger plane. At this time, the half-lying Luna was flipping through foreign fashion magazines, and by the way, enjoying the intimate massage function of the multi-functional chair bed under her, Xiao Zhou first asked the flight attendant for a glass of red wine, and then sent it to the senior sister together with the beautifully packaged small box in her hand, and sat on the edge of the chair she was holding, in order to avoid the suspicious eyes of the surrounding passengers, and closed the floor curtain of the single compartment where she was located.

Luna took off her headphones, and had no other explanation for the courteous behavior of the junior brother in front of her, except for "either rape or theft": "Don't tell me it's a ring inside." Say something quickly, get out of the way, don't disturb my rest! Xiao Zhou has long been accustomed to the way that her senior sister has always communicated with her brothers, especially herself, but she would actually talk about such a sensitive thing as a ring, which is really surprising: "You are so beautiful, whoever wants to give you a ring is that he is blind and can't tell the difference between men and women, Kudryash!" After hearing this, Luna pulled her right leg from the Sofitel "My Bed" duvet provided by Air France, and it was only because the target's expression instantly became extremely serious after saying the words of the begging that she couldn't bear to kick him directly on his handsome face at the moment......

Xiao Zhou pressed the beautiful legs of his senior sister who advocated violence, opened the box lightly, and revealed a beautiful necklace inside. The pendant looks like some kind of ore, but it is actually the same stained glass as the interior windows of Cologne Cathedral, with blue and green colors and crystal clear materials, with two sharp corners on top, resembling the magnificent twin towers of the cathedral and Miyazaki's cute Totoro. "I bought it in Cologne with my own savings, and although a few dozen euros is not expensive, it is also a heart."

"Thought I'd forgive you for stealing your credit card?" Luna was not flattered, but she honestly put down the magazine in her hands, and instead placed the necklace in her palm, and intently savored the abstract patterns of Cologne Cathedral and its German lettering inside the pendant, and she knew by looking at it - she loved it. Seeing that the situation was favorable, Xiao Zhou hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Sister, you have helped me and my brother too much in God's Factory, and you are usually so ...... to us Gentle and considerate, I don't even know how to repay. Hearing the four words of the junior and brother's pause, Luna's already smiling face immediately returned to stiffness, a group of guys are usually beaten by themselves almost when they meet, and they are still "gentle and considerate"? This is a joke about yourself! Since he deliberately hinted that what he paid attention to was invisibly instilled in the peaks and loops, Xiaozhou remembered the teachings of Senior Brother WinD, and hurriedly added his words: "Beating is kissing and scolding is love, and my brothers and I both understand." I didn't get taught by you for a few days, but I felt uncomfortable! ”

Now Luna has nothing to do, and it sounds quite pleasant: "Say, what is the purpose of giving me such a nice gift?" It is rare to hear the sincere praise of the senior sister, although it is only for the necklace, but it is also the first time in the world, Xiaozhou wants to capture the old and indulge, and first pick up the easy to do at the beginning: "Didn't the master promise me and Chen Feng before, after completing the final task, we will no longer engage in endless killing?" What about me and my brother...... I want to go to college. ”

"Huh?" Luna couldn't believe her ears, even if there have been cultural classes in all aspects of the team, and the education level of the members of the "24 Solar Terms" is generally above high school, but a few of them, who have been trained by various devils since childhood, are completely freaks piled up with physical and mental strength, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the limbs are far more developed than the brain, and now they actually want to go to school? It's really a dice roll of seven points, it's incredible! Looking at the surprised expression of the senior sister's big mouth, Xiao Zhou was not surprised, when the master asked him to read more books in the past, he and his brother always prevaricated and avoided it for various reasons, especially Yi Zhen, who would rather run a few kilometers more and eat two taels of meat than waste time reading a word. Now that I have changed my personality for no reason, there must always be a reasonable explanation: "We want to be like my sister and you, with a higher diploma, one specialty and multiple abilities, not only can we rely on our looks to eat, but also work in various fields, so that my brother and I will not be unable to find a job after leaving the army, and we will be forced to rob our homes and houses...... You say yes, right? Xiao Zhou thought that this sycophant was technical enough, both praising her senior sister's ability and praising her beauty, and by the way, arousing her sympathy, if she is really down, she can still count on someone to pull it, killing multiple birds with one stone, it can't be more perfect!

"What does it mean to eat by looks! Do you think that people of our status can easily be discharged from the army? Luna was said to be true, but the focus was on the sentence that Xiaozhou thought was not very important, "However, if a few of you enter the society in the future, you will definitely not find a job to be the one who is the trouble, and in the end you will be purged by your own people, it will be pitiful...... It's not a bad thing to go to the university now to get in touch with the life of normal people in advance, and it's not without precedent in the team. ”

Flowing into society? Tell me how I look like a drug...... Xiao Zhou knew that the "precedent" in Senior Sister's mouth referred to Xiao Han, who was also a member of the "24 solar terms" and whose code name was exactly the same as the Chinese name. This guy is among the five brothers, but he is a strange flower, with excellent tactical awareness, and all training is up to standard, but he is naturally unwilling to kill, let alone kill with a gun. Just last year, due to Xiao Han's unchangeable characteristic, the master also respected the personal wishes of the apprentice, and specially recommended him to go to a fully enclosed institution of higher learning with his mother grace as the principal to study, majoring in battlefield medical care, to meet his lofty ideals of saving lives rather than destroying them.

"Then it's better for you to have a good time with the master first, and just say that the four of us also want to go to the master's school to receive higher education, and then say a few kind words, I believe that the master will not refuse." Xiao Zhou didn't ask Yi Zhen and Zong Han, so he took the initiative to count them, anyway, where is it not a scourge, it is better to have a good time together. Luna thinks that there is no problem, in fact, Master has already planned this, and now it seems that the time is right: "Okay, I promise you, go back and talk to Master about your problems." ”

"Thank you, senior sister, for your success!" Halfway through Xiao Zhou's goal, Luna also accepted the necklace, but found that after the junior brother got his promise, he seemed to have something to say in his excitement. "Also...... One more thing. ”

"The price of accepting a gift from you is really not small." Luna put up the red wine glass between her fingers, shook it and sniffed it, took a sip, and smiled to see what tricks the stumbling boat could play. But the other party lowered his head for a long time and was in an unspeakable embarrassing state, and suddenly made himself feel a little bad, today he is too abnormal, his mouth is like smeared with honey, and he deliberately closed the curtain just now, can it be ...... Luna's heart jumped suddenly, and she quickly interjected: "Hey, little ghost! You're not going to confess, are you? I warn you, the '24 solar terms' team has a clear rule that it is strictly forbidden for members to fall in love with each other! Xiao Zhou's long-standing emotions collapsed instantly by his sister's narcissistic speculation, and he still said: "You are beautiful!" I'm not blind!! ”

Someone will inevitably be beaten up at this time, and Xiao Zhou, who was in a hurry, neither blocked nor dodged, and waited for the senior sister to finish her anger before he could put forward the conditions: "Actually, I'm just thinking, about the money I borrowed from you before, don't involve the senior brother, let's solve the matter between our sisters and brothers behind closed doors." In the future, I will pay back a part of the month, plus the souvenirs I looted around the world as interest, how about it? It turned out that he was going to say this, Luna breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and the big stone in her heart finally fell, but she didn't feel relaxed at all: "As for your subsistence allowance, what year and month will it be?" Of course, Xiaozhou could hear this kind of rejection, and suddenly felt that there was a drama this time, so he had to make a final effort: "That's okay, I can work and study to earn more extra money in the future!" Besides, my sister often goes undercover in other countries, and I can't meet you even if I miss you, so with such a sum of money as a concern, you often think about me? ”

"Who cares about you, little imp who will only get into trouble everywhere!" I have to admit that in terms of fooling people, Chen Feng admits that no one dares to admit the first, but when it comes to using psychological skills to do unsightly things, it is Xiaozhou's most WinD true biography.

"Okay, I'll think about it...... Get out of here! Luna agreed, but didn't say it explicitly. Xiaozhou opened the curtain, his face was filled with a smile of successful conspiracy, and several French passengers in the first class cabin who only had romance and love in their minds saw this, and unanimously agreed that his proposal was successful, and they all stood up and applauded! Even the flight attendants came over and congratulated her with "Congratulations", and immediately said to Luna stunned: What the hell is this?! And Xiao Zhou, who had two major events, was in a good mood, with his character, he should have said "Fuck" to this, but now he received the applause of everyone with a mouthful of "Thank you", Tian shamelessly received the applause of everyone, not only did he clarify the facts, but also made a kissing gesture to openly tease himself, so angry that Luna lifted the quilt and wanted to reward him with a hot slap, fortunately, a guy slipped away quickly in his shoes, otherwise his efforts would be wasted......

Ten hours after the plane arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, Luna led her brothers and sisters to the designated meeting point in the open-air parking lot, only to see an armed escort vehicle and two men in black escort uniforms. If it weren't for the two of them coming to Luna to salute first, Xiao Zhou and his brother would not have thought that they were soldiers of the Fengshen Squadron, and Senior Brother WinD himself was so treacherous, and even his subordinates were pretending to be ghosts.

"The platoon leader of the Fengshen Squadron is here to greet the leader on the order of Captain Xue Feng!"

It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call Senior Brother WinD like that, and Xiaozhou has almost forgotten that he has a name and a surname, and he is also a captain and deputy battalion, and he has a company-level squadron - Fengshen Commando. However, her senior sister Luna, who is also a captain, has no special forces under her command due to the special nature of her work. As a "human bullet" who died without heartache and tears, he and his brother specialized in some high-risk death-daring tasks, and they are still privates, and in the end they are at most martyrs. "Twenty-four solar terms" sounds very glamorous, but it is just a false name without any formal establishment, at best, they are all Long Jiayu's apprentices and direct to the special operations team, and it is a group of dead soldiers who obey orders and only obey his orders, and I don't know how they decided to set foot on this "thief ship" in the first place......

As the only Star Warfare unit registered in China in the Pan-Earth Alliance, the E Lianhua Brigade has a strengthened establishment of 10,000 people and is subordinate to the Western Theater of Operations. The "24 solar terms" special operation group directly under Long Jiayu was established in 2022 AD, with 12 members in the first phase, and all relevant personnel information was kept confidential, and then disbanded in 2026, for unknown reasons.

In 2028, the "24 solar terms" special operation team will be reorganized, but the first phase of the members will not be recalled, but the selection will be openly conducted in the five major theater departments, and through the three-month "Pamir Winter" polar survival competition, six members of the second phase will be accepted, and the relevant personnel information will be registered within the military:

At the age of 21, 191 cm tall, codenamed "Da Han [2]", IcE - Leng Fei, was awarded the rank of captain and deputy battalion.

At the age of 20, 187 cm tall, codenamed "Shocking", ClouD - Yun Shang, was awarded a lieutenant at the time.

At the age of 19, with a height of 176 cm, FrosT (female), codenamed "Frost Fall [3]", was awarded the rank of second lieutenant at the time.

At the age of 19, 176 cm tall, codenamed "Hanlu [4]", DeW - Nie Qiulu (female), was awarded the rank of second lieutenant at the time.

At the age of 19, 184 cm tall, codenamed "Qingming" WinD - Xue Feng, was awarded the rank of second lieutenant at the time.

RaiN, who was 18 years old at the time, 179 cm tall, codenamed "Gu Yu", was awarded the rank of second lieutenant at the time.

In 2034, the "24 solar terms" special operation group will supplement personnel, nominated by Long Jiayu and assessed by all members of the second phase, and accept five members of the third phase.

At the age of 17, 180 cm tall, codenamed "Lichun", SuN - Xu Chenfeng.

FirE, who was 16 years old at the time, 192 cm tall, and codenamed "Lixia" - Zhang Yizhen.

MooN, who was 16 years old at the time, 175 cm tall, and codenamed "Liqiu" - Zhang Xiaozhou.

OceaN, who was 16 years old at the time, 188 cm tall, and codenamed "Lidong" - Mao Zonghan.

SoiL, who was 16 years old at the time, 177 cm tall, and codenamed "Xiaohan [5]" - Ling Xiaohan.

So far, the "24 solar terms" special operation group has included 23 members, and the last place, Long Jiayu said that a suitable candidate has been decided, but it has not been announced inside and outside the team, so his age, height, code, name and gender are unknown.

In addition, during the selection process of the second phase of the "24 solar terms" special operation group, an interesting incident occurred, which is still talked about by relevant insiders. The specific situation is: There were only five people who successfully passed the final assessment, in addition to Leng Fei, Yun Shang, Xue Feng and Lu Na, there was also a woman named "Nie Shuanglu". And this woman is undoubtedly the most special existence in the thin air and bitter cold and low temperature of the Pamirs that winter, and she can appear in two places far away in a short period of time to take action, like a doppelganger. And with this extremely unusual special ability, she stood out from a crowd of competitors and was called "Shadow Woman". It wasn't until the end of the selection that Long Jiayu accepted the members of the second phase as apprentices, and "Nie Shuanglu" confided the truth to the master and his mother, it turned out that she was not a person, but a pair of twin sisters! Sister Nie Qiushuang, sister Nie Qiulu, face and figure are almost completely reproduced, the naked eye can not find a trace of flaws at all, their very poetic names are taken from Liu Zongyuan's "Autumn Dawn Walking South Valley through the Deserted Village" in "Autumn Frost and Dew is heavy, and the morning is up in the valley".

However, in 2035, in a scientific research project of our military in the Arctic, "Nie Shuanglu" was ordered to bring back the top-secret research results, but was ambushed by unidentified submarines and armed ships. In this battle, the two brigades lost three helicopter sorties, and more than half of the casualties were killed, and the entire battle process was unprecedentedly tragic, so that China's 10,000-ton two-way icebreaker -- "Canglong," which carried the research results, finally sank into the cold sea abyss of the Arctic Ocean.

After the incident, Leng Fei, who was deeply in love with "Nie Shuanglu", broke down emotionally, and felt unacceptable because his master Long Jiayu had learned some information in advance but did not respond in time, so he resolutely decided to retire from the army, and before leaving the team, he applied to take Nie Shuangshuang's cryogenic frozen body to the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, hoping for a future scientific miracle. However, due to the particularity of "Nie Shuanglu's" identity, the case was vetoed by the military, and in a fit of anger, Leng Fei led the Lengbing Brigade to attack the division headquarters during the day, risking his life to snatch Nie Shuangshuang's body and a large aerial vehicle, and after being received by a mysterious person and his subordinates, he finally fled to Russia smoothly. The incident resulted in the death of 32 Chinese soldiers, and the military ordered Long Jiayu to pursue Leng Fei for treason...... Show mercy. According to the news found out by Luna afterwards, in Russia, the first time Leng Fei saw the mysterious person who helped him abscond, it turned out to be "Nie Shuanglu", who should no longer be alive! And after her sister died in the line of duty, Nie Qiulu finally mustered up the courage to confess the whole thing to Leng Fei, and at this moment, Leng Fei couldn't tell whether the feelings in his heart were for the deceased Nie Qiushuang or Nie Qiulu who was standing in front of him......

In fact, Long Jiayu's wife Yongrong noticed Leng Fei's crush on "Nie Shuanglu" very early, but in the face of his confession, Nie Qishuang favored her senior brother Yunshang in her heart, while her sister Nie Qiulu was in love with Leng Fei from beginning to end. Therefore, in Leng Fei's eyes, "Nie Shuanglu" is always inseparable from herself, she doesn't love and loves, and she can't control it at all, so she has a gap with Yun Shang. This is also the fundamental reason why Long Jiayu later strictly forbade any love entanglements between the members of the "24 solar terms" and even did not want to accept female apprentices, he and Grace Rong have always regarded all the apprentices as their own children, they are afraid of history repeating themselves, afraid of hurting their children again.

Of course, these things, except for the "24 solar terms" and the military high-level, are unknown to the outside world, and the true identity of "Nie Shuanglu" was only disclosed to Long Jiayu in the team after the Leng Fei incident. Xiao Zhou is not very sentimental every time he recalls this. Back then, when the senior brothers and sisters conducted a formal assessment of the members of the third phase, he was the first to realize that the so-called "Nie Shuanglu" was actually more than one person, and took this opportunity to let the brothers all pass the assessment items of the two sisters. Unexpectedly, in just one year, they will never be able to see the two former senior sisters Nie again, and the team not only lost three core members of FrosT, DeW, and IcE, but also indirectly lost Senior Brother ClouD, who was alone in search of his brother's whereabouts......
