On the sea on the east side of Chongming, the giant red ship that had been here was slowly approaching the dock.

The team preparing to go to the polar regions has been assembled on the pier, and it will board the ship and set off after the "Snow Dragon" docks.

The family members who came to see them off were allowed to go to the pier together, and they had been separated from their relatives in the group for more than two months, and after a moment of reunion, it would be a few months of separation.

It's late autumn now, the weather has already turned cool, and many people are wearing thick coats.

Ah Cai took a large bag of clothes to Chen Bin, and specially told him, "Although you have been to Spitsbergen Island once, I have heard that the climate and environment there are very harsh, so you must pay attention to safety at all times, eat and dress warmly." Now, I found all your thick clothes, and bought two down jackets, and you can take them with you to wear. ”

"I'll be able to unify the clothes when I go there," Chen Bin smiled and took the clothes she brought.

"How can you bring your own clothes to keep warm, you can bring them," Ah Cai looked at Chen Bin carefully while the boat had not yet docked, "You have grown stronger." ”

The last time the two met was in the reception room of the "joint camp", where an international exchange conference had just ended, and more than a dozen countries had decided on the intentions of the "Glacier Operation."

At that time, Chen Bin and his family thought that they would be able to leave the camp and return to normal life, but who would have thought that the government would continue to keep them in the camp for targeted training and exercise, so as to prepare for the next two phases of the action plan.

"Haha, Tu bald head has trained us in the camp to the point that we don't want to, and we've been crawling under the sun for two months, and it's too much to say if our bodies are still the same as before," Chen Bin nodded, quite satisfied with his training in the past two months. He used to have a well-proportioned figure, not a strong one, but after two months of training by Tu Zhongshi in the "joint camp", not only did his arms thicken, but the contours of his chest and abdominal muscles became more and more obvious.

The benefits of exercise are not only good for the body, but also reflected in the spirit of the person. Chen Bin has tanned a lot, but he is much more energetic, and his appearance was a little delicate before, but now he feels more manly.

He had been trained so rigorously that he had wiped out a third of his trainees during the two-month training, and those who had been brushed off were no longer eligible to continue to participate in the operation. The sternness of Tu Zhongshi did not arouse the disgust of the remaining students, on the contrary, everyone slowly discovered the truest side of this instructor in further contact with him.

"The instructor looks rough, but in fact he is rough and fine, and he is not only bold, but also very righteous." This is the evaluation given by many students, but the evaluation is an evaluation, and everyone likes to call him "bald head" in private. ”

"I won't see you for a long time, alas," Ah Cai suddenly sighed again, she hugged Chen Bin, "Remember to think about me every day when you go there." ”

"Okay," Chen Bin nodded, and he suddenly saw a familiar figure pushing a wheelchair over, and there was a blonde woman sitting in the wheelchair.

"Brother Wen Yue," Chen Bin and Ah Cai walked over to say hello to the comer, "This ......?" ”

Chen Bin had a slight impression of the blonde woman in a wheelchair, and he remembered that when she first entered the "joint camp", the foreign woman had come to Meng Jie to inquire about Cai Wenyue's condition, and she seemed to have been injured in the restaurant bombing later.

"This is Dr. Martin, from the Houston Institute," Mr. Tsai said to the two as they introduced the woman in the wheelchair.

"Hello," Martin greeted Chen Bin and Ah Cai in a slightly stiff Mandarin, her Mandarin was learned from Cai Ji, and Cai Wenyue would also teach her some basic spoken English when she had free time.

"Hello, I've been to the Houston Institute, maybe we met there at the beginning." Chen Bin smiled and said, "How is your body recovering?" ”

"The climate here is more pleasant than Houston, and thanks to you, I'm recovering well," Martin's Mandarin dialect stumbled, and Tsai Wenyue would help her explain or correct some misused words.

As the wind lifted Martin's long hair, Chen Bin noticed a scar on the back of her neck. Chen Bin knows that the truth may not be as easy as Martin said, and after the injury, Martin suffered from the pain may be unimaginable to ordinary people.

"If you like it here, it's better to stay," Ah Cai said bluntly, she knew that Martin's identity was a doctorate, and she subconsciously hoped that she could stay in Huaguo and contribute her wisdom and ability here.

"I want to stay too, really, very much." Martin smiled, she liked the girl in front of her very much, because the girl's words just now spoke to her heart.

"I heard that it will take several months for you to leave, so I'll come and see you off, and by the way, I'll also take Martin out to breathe." Cai Wenyue said, "After going to the polar regions, it is still the same old saying, safety first. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Wen Yue."

"Chen Bin," someone nearby walked over to this side.

"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law Wang Man!" The people who came were friends they hadn't seen for a long time, and Chen Bin and Ah Cai were overjoyed.

"You're here," Cai Wenyue greeted Zhang Si and Wang Man with a smile, "You're still used to staying in Dongtan, right?" ”

"Brother Wen Yue," Zhang Xi nodded, "With you to get started with the work, I can be regarded as taking a shortcut." ”

"You have this ability, you can get to this point with me or not." Cai Wenyue encouraged him.

Since Zhang Si took over the post of director of the bureau, although Cai Wenyue no longer holds any position in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he usually still pays more attention to the affairs of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Everyone was chatting on the dock, Da Fei and Chen Cailing also gathered after whispering next to them, and after Chen Ting, Meng Jie and others also joined, these people became the most conspicuous presence on the dock.

There were also Qiao Xingyu, Cao Shengli and others who came to see them off, Chen Bin asked Cao Shengli about the recent situation of Lao Huan and Ji Yang, and told Cao Shengli to enlighten Lao Huan more. He entrusted the affairs of the Dongdong Public Security Brigade to Qiao Xingyu to manage on his behalf, and there was nothing to worry about at home, and the next step was to devote himself to the "Glacier Operation".

When the "Snow Dragon" docked, the government convoy also happened to arrive at the pier, and the government officials who had come over greeted the members of the operation who were about to set off one by one, and they did not return until everyone boarded the boat.

"What about Brother Zhang? Won't he go with us? When he climbed the gangway, Da Fei suddenly asked.

"Brother Zhang went to Yanjing, and Zhao Kang from the 'Yan Group' went with him. All they have to go to is from Bohai Bay. "Meng Jie knows some inside information because of his identity, Zhang Dada and others are important personnel in this operation, so they did not take the "Snow Dragon" with everyone, they took the ship from Beijing and Tianjin, and there will be a warship escort at that time.

"So Yanjing is going to someone too?" Chen Bin heard that Zhang Dada and others had already gone to the capital, and when the time came, they would set off from there, so he guessed.

"It's not just Yanjing that goes, but also the research institutes in several other places have to go to people." Meng Jie nodded.

"Where else?" Chen Ting asked curiously.

"Southwest, Central China, and Northwest China, I don't know the specifics," Meng Jie said, looking down the gangway and seeing that none of the people who had come to see him off had left.

Cai Wenyue and Zhang Xi were chatting about work, while Ah Cai, Chen Cailing and others were silently looking at the red giant ship.

Chen Bin waved at them and motioned for them to go back first.

Ah Cai saw Chen Bin beckoning to her from a distance, and she subconsciously ran towards the front of the dock, wanting to get closer and take another look at Chen Bin.

Ah Cai was suddenly stopped by the staff next to him when he was halfway through the run, and the research ship was about to leave the port at this time, so any idle people were no longer allowed to approach.

Chen Bin looked at Ah Cai, who suddenly ran towards him, and saw that she was stopped halfway, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, and he almost cried with sadness.

If you want to know goodbye and think about this night, the river flows eastward. Ah Cai was stopped on the dock, and she suddenly had a lot of words that she didn't have time to say to Chen Bin, and even if she did, Chen Bin couldn't hear it at the moment. But Chen Bin could feel the unspoken words in her heart, those words, a thousand words turned into just one sentence - forget-me-not.

Last time, it was also on this pier, a whistle sounded melodiously on the sea, and an indescribable melancholy grew from it at the moment of parting.

Some people did not go directly to the cabin after boarding the ship, they stayed on the deck like Chen Bin and others, and there was a girl in the crowd who looked at Chen Bin on the side of the ship from a distance, she looked at his side face, and suddenly felt his loneliness at the moment.

"They...... It's so nice," the girl envied in her heart. She was lonely in Changxing, and as she had told Chen Bin in the camp at the beginning, the girl had no friends here.

If she returned to college, Guo Lingling knew that she had a good impression of Chen Bin in her heart, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to go to him to teach her badminton. It's just that after following the tutor to Songhu for an internship, the connection between the two was broken, and after there was no contact, the friendship between the classmates also weakened a lot.

The outbreak of the disaster changed the lives of many people, and Guo Lingling did not have the same experience as Chen Bin, so she did not gain trustworthy friends. Life in the military-industrial unit was very boring, and there were few peers around, so the girl worked silently until one day she met Chen Bin at the gate of the camp.

Fate is so peculiar, sometimes it is obviously the person you meet first, but in the end the other party is not your destination.

That night, the two talked a lot by the lake, but when they talked about their respective love lives, they only talked lightly. At that time, the girl had both the joy of meeting her friends and the sadness of missing out on fate.

"When I'm not busy, I'm going to write a book that will record the stories that happened to me and other friends around me, especially our lives and survival experiences in disasters."

"Will I be in the book you're going to write?"

"Of course, I said that the book is dedicated to my own stories and those of my friends, and you are also my friend."

"That's great, I'm looking forward to it."

The girl's figure in the autumn breeze looked a little gloomy, and she tightened her collar and walked to the cabin.
