"How's the dockyard going?" Chen Zaihai played an old K. "You engineers really know everything."

"Everything is working fine, and thanks to the fact that there is a lot of equipment available in this place, the progress is faster than expected. If it goes on like this, it will be completely repaired in less than a week. Talia frowned slightly, it didn't look like the cards were very good.

The atmosphere was very joyful, and the tension that had been in place was really relieved a lot. Talia laughed even more for the first time in a long time, it seemed that her proposal was more effective. Even when we got to the middle, we really relaxed.

After that, the little warrior also came over, and when he knew that the purpose of Talia had asked him to come was to play cards, his expression was very rich. Flattered, he immediately said how could he have the position to relax with us, and besides, he didn't know how to play poker.

At that time, Chen Zaihai grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back in a daze. Then we started to teach him how to play poker, and the four of us finished making a lot of noise. It wasn't until the rest of the engineers had finished eating that the little soldier was able to leave.

Another day was going to pass, and Ivan did not return. I don't know what to do in the warehouse, Chen Zaihai and I went to check which elevator in the afternoon, and Chen Zaihai even ran downstairs with it. When he came back, he told me that it was eerily quiet below, and that he didn't go deeper into it because of Ivan's orders, and came back after a few cursory glances.

When he came back he told me everything was fine, no bugs, no gunshots, no blood, nothing. Ivan: They should be in the deeper part of the warehouse.

We briefly talked to Talia about this after the little warrior left, and she immediately complained about why we didn't discuss it with her beforehand. I'll just say that you weren't busy dealing with the affairs of the engineering corps at that time, and we also had an idea, so we didn't go back to tell you. Ivan's sudden decision this time was very concerning, and the note was even more strange. We're really worried about his safety.

As for the possible Watcher, you don't have to worry. We were very careful to get there when we were sure we weren't following.

"That's right, Talia. Is that structure diagram still here? "I suddenly thought of that diagram, and now that we are limited in our movements, we can only analyze the structure of this place. If necessary, we can also call the little soldier to help us answer the engineering questions.

Talia shook her head as she refilled the kerosene lamp, saying that the thing had been taken back by Ivan a long time ago, and that it could not be found in the tent, and that it had been taken away. I had no choice but to give up this thought, and at the same time I regretted it in my heart, saying that I should have taken a good look at it at that time.

"Lao Su, what's the use of looking at that picture?" Chen Zaihai asked strangely.

"Now that our movement is restricted, and there are unknown forces in the camp to monitor us, we must not act rashly." I said. "But I'm still very concerned about Ivan's order for the engineers to repair the keel. I thought I might be able to find some clues from that structural diagram. I didn't expect it to be here. ”

"That's what I actually thought, that's why I went to find the drawing." Talia said with a sigh. "It's a pity that if you don't have it, you don't have it, so let's give up this idea."

"So what? What do we do in the future? "Chen Zaihai was lying on the marching bed casually." Pull that or those watchers out? ”

Talia snorted softly, saying that you're going to die as you say that. His own father has no way to take those people, just a few of us who have no clues? I can't find it in my life. We've almost all seen people here, and it's been so long, from the stakes to this shipyard, have you noticed that anyone is abnormal?

"Let's think in a different direction." Chen Zaihai got up from the marching bed. "Ivan isn't dealing with the watcher, but he can't."

I was stunned for a moment and asked him what this sentence meant. This guy's way of thinking is always unexpected, but many times he can find a lot of details that ordinary people don't notice. Talia also looked at him with suspicion, and said that you better explain what is going on, and we will definitely not spare you if we are happy.

"Am I that kind of person?" He said seriously. "We've always felt that this watcher must be hostile to us, after all, we have encountered an attack on the way, so we naturally think so. But there is also a possibility here, that Ivan's people may not be our enemies, at least not as hostile as those who shoot behind their backs. ”

I also understood the meaning of his words, and I said that we had really ignored this possibility all along, and that Talia and I had not thought in this direction at all.

"You mean that the watcher could be one of ours?" I asked tentatively. "Maybe the top or the KGB sent it? A character resembling a secret correspondent? ”

"Personally, I prefer the latter, and the people we sent from China will not make Ivan, who belongs to the KGB, so jealous. At least with what Talia and I know about Ivan, he's not the kind of person who would be afraid of the Chinese intelligence organization. Chen Zaihai continued. It's not that I'm arrogant, our Chinese espionage technology is really not very good, and in front of the KGB, it's like a child. Ivan wouldn't behave like that. ”

"So you think your father is afraid of the KGB guys?" Talia said. "To be honest, I'm not very familiar with my father's work, and even though I've always been in China, we're working in completely different locations. Even when he meets occasionally, he avoids talking about work. ”

I said that the KGB was, after all, a very mysterious organization, and it was a matter of course that he did not tell you. As soon as I finished saying this, I rang out the old KGB man who had been our instructor, and now that Ivan was compared with him, I felt more and more disagreeable. It's all KGB people, the old man is too amiable, and Chen Zaihai guessed that he must have something wrong with him.

"Wouldn't that person be even more troublesome if he was really from the KGB?" I said. "Because even if we catch his little tail, we can't do anything, can we? If we can't figure out the contradictions between countries, we have a few lives that are not enough to die. ”

"I said you're so pessimistic about everything." Chen Zaihai kicked me. "The same scruples will be on the other side, right? The Chinese here are overwhelmingly majority, and some are in alliance with the Soviet Union. No matter who on both sides has problems, their superiors will be the first to suspect each other, right? So I don't think the other side will do any assassination against us, they are all small people, and the risk is too high. ”

Listening to his analysis, I feel a little relieved, and now is no longer the honeymoon period between China and the Soviet Union. The apparent relationship between the two countries is no different from that between China and the United States. It's 1964, and at this time of the Vietnam War, it's hard to figure out what kind of strange cooperation is going on.

"I said that Talia also took you to be a Soviet, so why don't you know anything about the situation in your country." Chen Zaihai complained. "It's obviously Soviet, and even Soviet spies can't see it."

"What are you talking about?" Talia was immediately upset. "Does a country have to see it? Then why do you always catch the wrong Taiwanese spies? ”

This is true, entertainment was very scarce in our era, and we pointed to catching a few spies to relieve boredom all day long. However, most of them are unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, which is also an undeniable fact. After Talia finished speaking, she looked very angry, and sat on the edge of the tent alone and ignored anyone, even her cheeks looked puffed out.

Chen Zaihai saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and immediately changed his face and apologized with a hippie smile. Therefore, this kind of person is a mouthful, and every time it is remedied after the fact. Why did I follow him to spy last time? As a result, he was almost shot by Talia

Of course, I wouldn't go and say nice things to him, so I said to the two of them to go out and cool off and left the tent. Before leaving, Chen Zaihai stared at me with a very resentful look. I ignored him at all and cleaned up my own troubles. Didn't I create a world for you to have two?

I really hope that this opportunity can make these two people be honest, I don't know that Chen Zaihai has guilt about Taria. But I knew that Talia genuinely cared about him, and that if he spoke honestly about anything, he would be forgiven. I can see it, I can't understand how he could be so aggressive.

When I came out, I sat down next to a still burning campfire, and now I couldn't even light a cigarette with the lighter gone. I pulled out a piece of burning coal, which I carefully stretched out to a section of burning coal, and finally lit it, and shook my almost burned right hand and twitched it leisurely. There was no one around, and the Engineers were still struggling with the keel, so I decided to smoke a few here and go back.

By the time I got back, Talia was gone. I asked Chen Zaihai with a wicked smile on his face what happened after that, but he didn't tell me, and finally simply ignored me and went to sleep by himself. I was bored with myself, glanced at my watch, and found that it was not too early, so I also put my clothes and went to sleep.

After that, things were lackluster, and we have always maintained this state of eating, sleeping, eating, eating, and waiting for death. During this time, he also played poker with Talia several times, except for the keel accident that was getting more and more formed, and time seemed to be in an infinite loop. Ivan hasn't heard from him, and I can tell that Talia is getting more and more upset.

It was after those four days that things changed
