Regarding Long Yun's "leave" demand, the war situation in the Middle East is quite face-saving.

In the last few days, thanks to a Security Council resolution, the parties to the civil war, which had been fighting endlessly, have basically achieved a semblance of a ceasefire, and no large-scale ground fighting has broken out in Iraq and Syria. However, the reason for this is that it is of course one thing to be afraid of military intervention by several major powers, and it is probably also a secret common consideration of the warring parties to take this opportunity to rest their forces and prepare for another war.

On the ground, the intensity of the fighting in the clear sky was greatly reduced, and apart from the skirmishes that were bound to occur in the no-fly zone, the Liberal Party and the New Party had damaged each other in several clashes, and there were no other ups and downs.

Walking out of the gate of the independent battalion headquarters and hitchhiking all the way back to Fort Scharqat Air Base, it was such a scene in Long Yun's mind, which made him feel that the matter of "asking for leave" was somewhat of a spectrum; However, compared with the situation of NATA, whether his trip can really take place, the opinion of the "organization" is actually more important, even if there is a temporary truce in the Middle East and there is no war to fight, he will have to wait for domestic approval before he can formally submit an application.

Well, now it seems that although I yearn for it, I have to wait patiently for news for the time being.

With such a consideration, returning to the base tent to rest for a while, Long Yun found that he had really handed over inexplicable good luck after meeting Qi Hui.

"Ah, yes, Brother Long; Brother, I have something to ask you. ”

Originally, he was still sitting in the tent, looking a little idle, but Qi Hui saw Long Yun coming in and immediately got up and stepped forward. It looks like there is something to discuss; Seeing that this compatriot looked serious. Long Yun was a little puzzled. At first, he wondered if this guy had the idea of dropping another Su-27SKM and wanting to fight his own "villain", and then he spied on Qi Hui's true thoughts through guò consciousness.

Beckoning Long Yun to walk out of the tent with him, Qi Hui, who was walking in the cold wind, wrapped his collar tightly, and he came to a no-man's land with his comrades, only to talk a little mysteriously about the email sent to him by the "organization", which mentioned his mission holiday arrangement.

According to the contract of the "organization", the staff of the secret front can arrange a fixed length of "vacation" after performing a certain number of consecutive tasks. Qi Hui has now been given such an opportunity; Of course, in general, this rule is rarely used, after all, it is difficult for people on the secret front to get out of their jobs, and the so-called "vacation" has become a dispensable or unattainable thing.

However, for the "volunteer pilots", it is still more convenient to implement the leave system, but Qi Hui is clearly not interested in this arrangement, and he is still thinking about how to continue to swipe the checks one by one:

“…… So you see, Brother Long, the above arranged for me to go on vacation. But I don't want to go back at all, do you think you're willing to go back? ”

"I-? Oh. Think about it. ”

The first thing he thought of was "Vacation is not labor reform, if you don't want to go, can't you just push it off", and then figured out the idea in this guy's head, he planned to take advantage of the short time he left the 3rd_IHFS to exercise the control of the J-10E "villain", which was not so much out of the need to brush bonuses, but rather a curiosity about this sport fighter, so he happily agreed.

Hey, this weirdo who was born in aviation competition, and his obsession with fighter jets is really not light!

After a few words, he decided the matter, seeing that Qi Hui was very happy to hum a little song and leave, it seemed that he was going to go to the hangar and get familiar with the "villains" first, but Long Yun, who had returned from the battle, was a little tired, he went back to the camp tent to sleep for an afternoon, and exercised in the training room for a while, and went back to his room early that night to rest.

In recent days, although there have been no more intractable enemies such as the ECJA and the ES2000 Gale, it has not been easy to fight the Syrian Liberal Party in the sky or the border of the no-fly zone. Generally speaking, it is normal for pilots to attack once a day, but the number of fighters in the independent third squadron is scarce, and the airspace to be defended is very vast, without the fierce air fighting of large aircraft groups, this kind of struggle that needs to be manned at any time is actually more tiring, and the high-intensity action for several days in a row makes Long Yun a little tired, and he still needs to take a good rest now.

When night fell, there was no light everywhere in the light-controlled base of Fort Charqat, and a glimmer of light poured out of the thick temporary tent, holding a notepad in the slightly dim light, holding a thin pencil in his hand, Long Yun was helping to organize his thoughts with the help of writing and drawing, but there were only some inexplicable lines and symbols on the paper in front of him.

Yes, since I was thinking about the puzzle in my head, of course, I couldn't write anything that might reveal a secret.

In the winter at the Charqat Fort, the wind became more intense at nightfall, and gusts of cold wind carried dust particles on the tent, and from time to time there was a slight change of tone whistling, but it did not affect the young people's thinking.

From the last time he crossed to the present, piloting the newly assigned J-10E fighter to participate in the no-fly zone struggle, Long Yun's service career in 3rd_IHFS was relatively smooth for the time being, and the scene of falling and fleeing when he was attacked by a strong aircraft gradually faded away; As for the domestic situation, with Qi Hui's holiday as a foreshadowing, it is estimated that there will be no problem with the "organization", and then you can just write an application, and there is nothing to worry about now.

However, compared with the situation in the real world, the time crossing just experienced has brought countless mysterious mysteries to young people.

I don't know why, maybe it's a subconscious need to avoid the problem, in the past few days since he returned to reality from the parallel world, Long Yun didn't think much about the "dead city" and the "mirage", but only remembered it in passing when he was on the phone with Shangguan Ling. In the subconscious of the depths of his heart, maybe he felt that there was no one to discuss, or he was out of a specific environment, and the young people who were nervously performing tasks in the 3rd Independent Squadron had no time to think about it carefully, and even the current candlelight and night thinking was just a little homework before going to bed.

From the real world to the parallel world, and then to the war "mirage" with an unknown background, although it was only an encounter in the underground base of the "Dead City", thinking about it now made Long Yun feel a little confused, he was not sure if it was just an illusion or another time travel.

If it is the former, it is naturally easy to explain; But if it's the latter, I'm afraid things will be much more complicated.

From Long Yun's point of view, the purpose of going to the "Dead City" alone during the last crossing was to find out the origin of the tragic night, and this purpose can be said to have been achieved, although the direct cause of the outbreak of the tragedy is not yet known.

Thinking of the scene in the underground space, the scene he saw after touching the "giant tree", Long Yun was not too surprised by the tragic and magnificent war scenes, what he couldn't understand was why he saw these illusions: if there was any connection between him and this illusion, it would probably fall on the man called "Long Yiyun", this line of thought seemed very natural, but there was no clue to follow.

Yes, the "Giant Tree" seems to be the "Central Tower" in the mirage, which is composed of "energy media", which seems to contain extremely powerful consciousness power, but what other information can he get?

The cold wind was steep, and the temperature in the tent was not high at all, Long Yun, who was lying in the down sleeping bag, thought for a while, and couldn't figure out the connection between them, he looked at his watch and found that it was not too early, so he raised his hand to turn off the light, lay down in the deep darkness, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

To try to unravel these mysteries, but meditating in the real world may not be of much use, with such thoughts, sure enough, he once again had a time trip in his dream.

……

After falling asleep from the tent, I opened my eyes again, and in the extremely dim field of vision, there was still an outline of the canopy.

Before the last time he finished crossing, Long Yun was resting in a tent in a huge building in the core area of the "Dead City", and now he woke up and found that he was still in a tent, and he was still a little dazed for a while.

When his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he slowly crawled into the military tent and saw the interior of the desolate building covered with sand and dust in all directions, and not far away, the sunlight projected through the narrow air windows reflected the tiny dust particles floating in the air; Standing in the silence of the deserted scene, breathing in the cold wind with a slight smell of dust, the young man did not need to look at his watch to know that it was obviously the morning of the second day.

In winter, when the sun angle is very low, the sun is already shining on the ground, and it is now nine or ten o'clock.

Traveling to the parallel world again, it took a little time to adapt himself to the abrupt transformation of the scene, and in the huge architectural space, Long Yun soon began to be busy in an orderly manner.

After peeking into the world behind the "Black Wall" and getting some clues, the next step should be to gather materials and prepare to leave.

Busy alone in the "dead city", without any interruption and no one to help, Long Yun sorted out the equipment to carry and continued to investigate the underground space. Wearing a gas mask and carrying another AKS74 on his shoulder, he climbed down the emergency tunnel with his empty backpack and walked through the wide, spiraling tunnel, slowly continuing his investigation through the main structure of the underground base, while taking care to collect relevant items and records.

When doing these things, he didn't need to think too much, and in the underground space, he could observe the surroundings with the help of "black light", and the acetylene blowtorch in his hand had also become a kind of decoration, Long Yun now had time to think carefully about what he had seen and heard since he came to the "black wall".
