Chapter 2: Night in the Water City
The City of Water is located in the vast territory of western China.
Such cities are not uncommon in the vast western frontier, and when it comes to the origin of this city, there are some origins. It is said that a few years ago, a group of royal tombs of a small country was excavated in ancient times, which caused a sensation in the whole country for a while.
As for why it is called the City of Water, in fact, the citizens here can't say the history, but it is true that there is abundant rain here all year round. Maybe it's because of this, although the city is not big, the environment is surprisingly good, and the winter is not cold all year round, and the summer is not too hot, so that many outsiders come here in summer to escape the heat, so the city of water is popular, and the development of tourism makes up for some of the shortcomings of the industrial underdevelopment in this area.
However, compared with cities in economically developed areas of the country, in addition to the good environment, the city of water ranks at the bottom of the national city in terms of economy, and its fiscal revenue is also stretched.
In the evening, an orange-red sunset slowly hung on the distant mountain peak, staining most of the blue sky.
Outside a long-distance bus station in the city of water, a group of people who had just entered the city from the countryside were walking out of the station with large bags, and a middle-aged man with a small bag in his waist and Xige grass shoes in the crowd also walked out, and he was followed by a dark-skinned, honest and honest, eleven or twelve-year-old boy, obviously Wang Tianshun and Long Yun, who had been bumpy all day and had tired faces.
The bumps of the whole day made Long Yun a little breathless, this was the first time he felt the pain of riding a long-distance bus, the excitement of seeing the car was gone, and he felt indescribable tiredness all over his body.
However, Long Yun, who walked out of the station, was immediately excited, and the scene in front of him made him feel very novel.
In the evening, the city was brightly lit, full of high-rise buildings, one by one, so that he couldn't count them, the colorful lights kept flickering, and the cars on the streets were endless, all of which made Long Yun dizzy, and he couldn't wait to have a few more pairs of eyes.
"Long baby, mix well, this will be your home from here to life!" Wang Tianshun saw Long Yun's thoughts.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Long Yun nodded heavily, at this time he was very grateful to Wang Tianshun who brought him out, the magic of this city, for a young man who had never entered the city, in addition to the anxiety in his heart, there was a new hope in it.
"Long Wazi, Uncle will take you to rest for a day or two, change into a few suitable clothes for you, and then Uncle will find you something to do!" Wang Tianshun said kindly to Long Yun next to him.
"Listen to Uncle Wang's arrangement." Long Yun replied respectfully.
Wang Tianshun stopped talking, as if waiting for someone to pick them up. Long Yun took the time to look at the bright lights on the tall buildings not far away, full of infinitely beautiful reverie.
About a cup of tea, a black sedan quietly stopped where the two were standing, the sedan could barely hear the noise, so that Long Yun didn't notice it at all, if it wasn't for Uncle Wang Tianshun telling him to get in the car, Long Yun would still be immersed in the colorful lights of the city.
"Wang Tou, let's go to the family building of the unit first, right?" The car door opened, and a young driver got down and asked Wang Tian Shun.
"Not bad." Wang Tianshun said without hesitation.
"Wang Tou, please first." The driver got out of the car, bent down and respectfully opened the door for Wang Jiashun.
Long Yun on the side was a little surprised, he only heard his father say that Uncle Wang had a great business in the city, but he didn't know that Uncle Wang had such a status in the city.
"Dragon baby, get in the car. Xiao Liu, you can help put the luggage of the dragon baby in the back suitcase.
"Okay, boss!" The driver, Xiao Liu, did not respond with any displeasure.
The driver, Xiao Liu, pressed the button next to the driver's seat, and the trunk opened silently.
"Uncle Wang, I'll do it myself." Long Yun hurriedly finished speaking, twisted his bulky woven bag and walked towards the trunk.
"I'm here to help." Xiao Liu said kindly, and without waiting for a delay, he took the bag in Long Yun's hand and put it in the trunk.
Long Yun saw that he looked like he couldn't postpone, and knew that it was useless to postpone, so he had to hand the bag to the driver Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu obviously didn't do this kind of thing for the first time, he quickly stuffed things into the trunk, and with a bang, Xiao Liu, who returned to the cab, pressed the button, and the trunk closed automatically.
The car's engine shook slightly, and it sped lightly forward.
Long Yun sat in the back seat, and only then did he feel comfortable in this kind of car. This kind of car is very different from the minibus that came to the city from the countryside in the morning, not only does it not have that bumpy feeling, but the sound is slight, if it weren't for the flashing lights of the high-rise buildings outside the window are rapidly retreating, Long Yun thought that the car was still in place.
Only then did he take a closer look at the young man's driver. Through the yellow light in the car, Long Yun could clearly see the side silhouette of the driver, who looked like he was in his twenties, wearing an unknown gray uniform.
"Xiao Liu, the unit has been normal these days, right?" Long Yun was pondering, and the conversation between Wang Tianshun and the driver Xiao Liu came to his ears.
"Chief, it's not a big deal. Yesterday, Master Sun came to your office to look for you, and I said that you went to the countryside. Ask him if he wants to call your phone, and he says no, he wants to meet and talk to you. The driver, Xiao Liu, said to Wang Tianshun while driving, obviously doing some daily work reports to Wang Jiashun.
"Oh, Master Sun has been here?" Wang Tianshun was a little surprised, Xiao Liu, start the second line of confidentiality, I want to video connect with Master Sun. Wang Tianshun instructed the driver Xiao Liu in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes, sir." The driver, Xiao Liu, did not dare to slack off.
As soon as Xiao Liu's words were finished, he heard a sound of gentle mechanical movement from the bottom of the car, and a layer of transparent and almost non-existent partitions stretched out from all sides of Wang Tianshun's seat, isolating the position of Wang Tianshun's seat from the position of the driver Xiao Li and Long Yun behind, forming a closed space. In front of Wang Tianshun's seat, a drawer with a large black secret smartphone of about five inches stretched out.
Long Yun only felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and fell asleep.
Xiao Liu glanced back at Long Yun, who had fallen asleep in the back seat, and motioned to Wang Tianshun in the compartment: "Wang Tou, the protection measures have been activated, and the children in the back can't hear anything." ”
Long Yun really didn't know anything about the changes in the carriage just now, and adults couldn't notice it when the mysterious equipment in this car was activated, not to mention that this inconspicuous black sedan was not something that anyone could sit in, and the special car that the unit leader usually prepared when he went out on business, in the memory of the driver Xiao Liu, Wang Tou has always made a clear distinction between public and private, and never let people who have nothing to do with the unit sit in this car.
There is only one exception, the person who was selected by the unit, so the child who came from the countryside today, Wang Tou arranged to sit in this car together, and nine times out of ten he was selected by the unit.
In the compartment, Wang Tianshun picked up the black secret mobile phone and began to dial a set of strange characters on the dial on the screen, obviously the characters on the dial are not Arabic numerals, but some unknown mysterious characters, Wang Tianshun seemed to press back and forth a few times on the dial dial irregularly, and the mysterious characters all lit up, which looked not much different from the dial pad of an ordinary mobile phone.
Xiao Liu drove his car intently, ignoring all Wang Tianshun's actions here, he knew very well in his heart the confidentiality regulations of the unit, and the content of these calls was not something he could hear. Moreover, after the secrecy measures were activated, he could not hear or see any voice or movement of the leader's call, and the king he saw here was no different from sitting normally. Outsiders seem to be the same as him and Wang Tou are normal one is driving, the other is sitting upright in the seat, and Wang Tou's movements in the transparent compartment cannot be seen at all, obviously this set of equipment has adopted some kind of mysterious technology, which can fix the image in a certain time and space, so that the sound, image, smell, etc. are completely isolated from the outside world, so as to achieve absolute confidentiality.
Wang Tianshun dialed the strange black confidential mobile phone dial key, the phone beeped, and after the phone rang twice, an old man in a suit and wrinkled face popped up on the mobile phone screen, and the old man was sitting at the desk with a dark red bookshelf full of books in the background: "Xiao Wang, has the matter of finding seedlings been settled?" The old man was not polite, and asked directly.
"Sun Bureau, there is a fall." Wang Tianshun was not polite, and replied directly respectfully, obviously the status of the old man was much higher than him.
"Great, it's finally settled." The old man at the desk said with a relaxed face.
"Xiao Wang, is this seedling reliable, this time it shouldn't be like in the past ten years, every time it has been fruitless, you must know that the organization has spent a lot of money in our bureau over the years, our bureau has been searching for the whole country for more than ten years and has no results, and there are already voices from above to remove me as the director." The old man said helplessly.
"Sun Ju, don't worry, you won't be wrong again this time. This is the child of the dragon founding. Wang Tianshun said with confidence.
"Dragon Founding? Are you talking about arranging the search for seedlings fifteen years ago, and Long Kaiguo, the number one tracking agent in the organization? The old man's voice suddenly became excited.
"Yes, Sun Ju." Wang Tianshun replied.
"That's great, these fifteen years of work have not been in vain. This No. 5 can make a great contribution, and it will be difficult to open a country for the dragon in the past fifteen years. The old man said with a sigh.
"Yes, Sun Bureau, twelve years ago, Agent No. 5 tracked down the spiritual vein to move in this direction, so he escorted it all the way here, in order to prevent this spiritual vein from disappearing again, Agent No. 5 condensed the spiritual vein into his body and refined it, organized and arranged for a female agent to marry him, live in seclusion in a small mountain village, and transform the spiritual vein into a boy's body. For the sake of secrecy, Agent Five requested the deletion of all files related to his own family fifteen years ago. Wang Tianshun reported.
"Yes, you and I know in the organization of this matter, Xiao Wang, you must do a good job of confidentiality. Is there any request from Agent No. 5 Long Kaiguo's side? The old man on the other end of the line asked.
"Agent Five has reported that he has not been in contact with the organization for many years, and he does not know much about the situation of the organization over the years, and besides, after escorting the spirit vein into a human, the husband and wife have lost their unique abilities, which is no different from ordinary people. So apply for retirement and live a normal life. Wang Tianshun said.
"Hey!" The old man sighed with regret. Then he continued: "Five has completed such a major task, let him be allowed to retire." The organization should do a good job of secretly protecting his family, and don't disturb No. 5 to live a normal life, but if No. 5 loses his ability and retires, there is no one in the organization who has the ability to do this for the time being. After listening to Wang Tianshun's report, the old man said with some regret.
"Yes, Sun Ju" I will definitely arrange the protection of the No. 5 family. Wang Tianshun gave a guarantee to the old man in the video.
"That's it, you take the child to the base first, and I'll arrange for someone to come over!" After the old man finished speaking, he hung up the video connection.
After Wang Tianshun's video connection was completed, he reached out and pressed a button on the dial board screen of the smart security mobile phone, and the mysterious equipment in the car quietly began to run again, and in the blink of an eye, the car returned to the appearance of Wang Tianshun and Long Yun when they first came in.
"Xiao Liu, it's almost there!" Wang Tianshun asked the driver next to him.
"It's almost there, King!" Hearing Wang Tou call himself, Xiao Liu, who was concentrating on driving, understood that the leader's confidential video connection had been completed, and hurriedly responded.
Long Yun woke up in a dazed stupor, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the car had stopped in front of the gate of a community that looked a little old.
The community is a gray dozen storey buildings, he looked at it for a long time and didn't see any signs on the wall of the building, this community is too ordinary, like hundreds of communities in the city, except for some changes in color, he, a child who has just entered the city, really can't see any clue.
It was the sentry box in front of the community that attracted his eyes, the sentry box seemed to be standing a few armed policemen in military uniforms, holding a cool-looking submachine gun in their hands, and the majestic and straight military posture of the guards gave him a sense of the inviolability of the Holy Spirit.
The driver, Xiao Liu, handed over a card the size of a playing card to the driver, and another guard who was not armed with a gun reached out to take the document and swiped it on a device that looked like a credit card machine in his hand, and the device lit up with a green light, and an identity information was clearly displayed on the terminal.
The guards saluted Long Yun and their side with a standard military salute, and the driver, Xiao Liu, sat in the car and returned a military salute to the guards.
The red alarm on the silver aluminum alloy monitoring door at the entrance of the community flashed, slowly spreading to both sides, and the driver Xiao Liu drove the car to the community, and the car just closed the community. It's back to the way it was before.
Long Yun was stunned and looked at everything that happened just now, and suddenly guessed Uncle Wang's identity. From the moment he first got into this black car and saw the driver Xiao Wang, he felt that Uncle Wang was not doing business in the city.
Long Yun was surprised and a little excited at the same time, which was much better than the scene he imagined. With Uncle Wang's identity, the things he found for him would definitely not be unreliable. Long Yun couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart that he had followed Uncle Wang.
"Dragon baby, I'm home!" When Long Yunzheng was secretly happy to follow Uncle Wang Tianshun, Uncle Wang, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and said to him.
"Okay, Uncle Wang." Long Yun hurriedly responded, and now this Uncle Wang is simply the idol in his heart.
"Xiao Liu, help Long Wazi get the luggage." Wang Tianshun instructed the driver Xiao Liu.
"Yes, Lord." Xiao Liu pressed the trunk button and opened the trunk of the car. Then open the door and walk towards the back door of the black sedan.
"Uncle Wang, I'll do it myself!" Long Yun saw that the driver was helping him with his luggage, and hurriedly said with some embarrassment. But Wang Tianshun didn't mean to let him go down and get it himself.
"Long Wazi, you are still young, and you are tired today, let Xiao Liu help you get it."
The driver, Xiao Liu, twisted Long Yun's tattered luggage, and the three of them got out of the black car. Long Yun, who finally came down, was about to close the door of the car with his hand, but the door closed automatically.
After walking about ten meters away, the three of them came to a gray building, and to Long Yun's surprise, there was also a doorman with a submachine gun standing at the entrance of this community.
And when he walked over just now, he had already noticed that there were people with submachine guns walking back and forth in the courtyard of this community. The mystery in his heart was hooked up at once.
This time, the driver, Xiao Liu, did not hand any cards to the gate, but raised his right hand and pressed all five fingers on a small screen similar to a television.
The screen flashed green, and a soft female voice came out of it: "Identity verification passed, thank you!" The driver, Xiao Liu, took his hand away, and the glass door of the building silently spread out to both sides, and the building was actually lit up with integrated lights.
Long Yun looked at the screen that made a sound, and with the flicker of green light, the screen showed a green palm print, and the lines of his fingers were clearly recognizable.
Long Yun has never seen this thing, obviously this time the door is opened with this palm print, it is really strange, Long Yun thought to himself.
When the gun-wielding guard saw the gate open, he saluted the three men with a standard military salute.
Xiao Liu, the driver who walked in front, returned the salute to the guards. However, what once again made him feel that Uncle Wang was awesome was that Wang Tianshun did not return the salute, but nodded and said "hard work", and walked towards the building. This made Long Yun wonder about Wang Tianshun's identity: "
"Uncle Wang shouldn't be from the army!" He couldn't help but secretly ruled out the speculation that Wang Tianshun belonged to a certain unit in his heart.
The three of them walked into an elevator.
Long Yun's body felt fluttering for a while, and the elevator stopped steadily on the second floor, and the lights in the room suddenly turned on.
"Xiao Liu, you take Long Wazi to the cafeteria to eat first, then go to the bathroom to take a shower, arrange a room for him, and wait for me at the gate of the base tomorrow." Wang Tianshun commanded.
"Don't worry, Wang Tou, I will arrange it, Long Yun, you come with me." After Liu Zhenggang finished speaking, he waved his hand to Long Yun.
Long Yun was full of confusion and followed Xiao Liu to eat a sumptuous dinner in an unknown cafeteria that he had never eaten before, and then took a hot bath in a steaming bathroom, where Xiao Liu found a small gray uniform without any logo and the same as the one he was wearing.
Long Yun, who had changed into this uniform, seemed to be in a lot of energy, and Xiao Liu arranged him in a luxurious room and left.
Lying in the soft quilt, Long Yun didn't feel a little sleepy, what is the identity of Uncle Wang Tianshun? What the hell is this place?
