"Chief." There was a knock on the door, waking up the old man who had fallen asleep in the room.

The old man opened his eyes, he was already in his seventies, he looked far better than his peers, he looked like he was in his sixties, although his hair was gray, his face was red, and he was full of heaven, so it could be seen that he was in good health.

"Come in,......" the old man got up and put on a military coat. Although it is just a fairly ordinary coat, far inferior to those modern clothes, the old man still habitually wears this.

The door was opened, and a young man in his twenties in a military uniform walked in from the outside. Judging by the rank on the shoulder, a lieutenant.

"Xiao Zhao, what's the matter at such a late hour?" Seeing the visitor, the old man smiled slightly.

This is his guard, although he is very young, but his quality is quite good in all aspects, and the old man trusts this young man very much. He was also one of the few people who could come and disturb his sleep so late.

"Chief, there was news from there just now that there was something wrong with the experiment." The guard named Xiao Zhao had a trace of anxiety on his face, this is quite rare, as a guard, he has been following the old man since he was nineteen years old until now, what wind and waves have he never seen? Why are you so impatient?

"What?!" The old man didn't care about it at first, but the next moment he suddenly reacted, he immediately got up from the bed, and then walked quickly towards the door, "Go!" Check it out! Didn't you say everything went well? ”

Just three hours ago, the old man had just received the news that everything was normal and smooth over there, and he slept peacefully, but why did it suddenly become like this?

The old man hurriedly put on his clothes, and then under the leadership of the guard Xiao Zhao, he went downstairs, and saw more than a dozen other guards in military uniforms appearing on the way, and then a group of people got into three cars. Walk towards a lab in the darkness of the night.

A lot happened that night, there was an explosion and leak in the laboratory, and at the same time, the old man was forcibly evacuated by a group of guards, and at the same time, a force that had been controlled by the old man also directly followed out of the imperial capital that had become a hell.

Knock knock knock woke up the sleeping old man, he woke up from the dream just now, and then got up from the bed with some headache, looked at the time, it was now more than three o'clock in the morning.

"Come in!" The old man's hoarse voice shouted.

"Chief!" Outside came an officer with the rank of colonel, in his forties. It looks pretty smart. He looked at the old man with a serious and respectful expression.

"Is there anything going on at this time?" The old man has been dreaming a lot lately, especially when he killed the guard who had been with him for many years, just because he was bitten.

After more than three months, he was actually quite tired, and if it weren't for the recently lost granddaughter who was brought back safely, he might not have been able to support it a long time ago.

"Chief, there's something I don't know if I should report to you." The officer looked hesitant.

"Say! When did you become such a mother-in-law? "This officer is a henchman cultivated by the old man, so sometimes you don't have to worry too much about some rules.

"Chief, there's been some restlessness in the base lately. I didn't feel right. "The officer's surname is Zhao Mingzhongyi, just like his name, he has been the most reassuring subordinate of the old man for so many years, and he is an absolute confidant.

At the same time, he was also the father of the guard Xiao Zhao, even if he saw his boss kill his son, he didn't have any resentment, but did his best to take the old man out of the chaotic imperial capital.

"Oh?" The old man was not surprised, in fact, he felt it too. Recently, there has been an atmosphere of unease in the base. …,

I can't say specifically, but the old man has a sense of danger, as if something is going to happen.

But after decades of ups and downs, the national turmoil, the Literary and Art Revolution, and then the purge of power after the death of the first ancestor, he survived it so much. Even the hellish imperial capital more than three months ago. Didn't he come out unharmed?

So he is not afraid, and he has the most powerful force in his hands, and he is confident that nothing will go wrong if anything happens.

"Chief, Governor Qi has been active a lot recently, and he has met with Lieutenant General Kai and Major General Chen of the Southern Military Region several times in the past week, I'm afraid ......"

Governor Qi is now the nominal supreme commander of this base, once the governor of Southern Province, an ambitious figure. Lieutenant General Kai and Major General Chen are the two largest powerful generals in the Southern Military Region today. One is the commander, and the other is the commander of the First Army, which controls the most powerful combat power.

There are indeed some problems with the frequent meetings between them.

"It's okay, I don't know what those little ones are thinking! They think I'm an old man in the way here! Hum! It's only been a long time since they forgot about the country. Forget about the party! Do they really think that the country is dead? ”

The old man was a little angry, and then coughed loudly, he had just caught a cold two days ago, and he hadn't gotten any better.

"But chief, since you know about their small actions, why do you ......" Zhao Zhongyi didn't understand his boss's thoughts.

Since you know that someone is restless, you should rule it out in advance! Are you waiting for the other side to come to the door?

"Zhongyi, how long have you been following me?" The old man coughed twice, it seemed that his body was not as good as day by day, his face had more wrinkles, and his gray hair had changed from gray to white in a few months.

"Looking back, it has been twenty-eight years since I was 17 years old." Zhao Zhongyi didn't know why the old man asked this, but he still said it truthfully.

"You started as my guard, and then you got to where you are now. It's a pity, if it weren't for the outbreak of this big crisis, I was going to let you go to the military division to take Kai Liang's place, and then wait a few years for you to be able to spend your flowers. ”

Flowers on the shoulders! This is a rank that only a general has! The old man obviously said that if it weren't for the outbreak of the global crisis this time, he would have prepared to train the middle-aged officer in front of him.

Zhao Zhongyi didn't know why the old man said these words, although these are meaningless now, he is still very grateful to the old man for so many years of promotion.

"The country has suffered too much, how many people are still alive today? Zhongyi, I can't watch so many people die in front of my eyes anymore! ”

The old man's words made Zhao Zhongyi silent for a while, of course he knew what the old man wanted to express, but he wanted peace, but would others give him peace? (To be continued......)
