By the bumps and shaking of the vehicle, Long Yun slept very deeply.

I don't know if it's because he's too tired, he experienced a series of strange dreams while sleeping, and when he woke up, he saw that it was already dark outside the window, so he called the soldiers who didn't dare to disturb his rest and asked, only to know that it was already late at night, and he was taken by a convoy to Cherkar, a town more than 200 kilometers away from the "dead city".

Ah, you've slept for so long?

He hadn't just fallen asleep and wasn't too awake, Long Yun groped for the watch from his luggage and put it on his wrist, sat on the folding chair and made a flute for a while.

"So, Comrade Major General, where are you going next?"

“…… I? ”

Seeing that he was wearing an out-of-place outdoor adventure outfit, Long Yun thought that this could be recognized, and sure enough, after the three-dimensional bombing of the Soviet propaganda department, now from the military to the civilian top, there are really not many people who don't know Viktor Rezenov. Although it was already nightfall, he had just slept and had already delayed a lot of time, and the arrest of the American pilot could not be delayed for a long time:

"In this case, can you please find a car and take me to the KGB liaison office in the city first?"

In the small place of Cherkar, in an old UAZ-469 jeep with a sudden engine rattle, Long Yun quickly arrived at the KGB's local liaison office. In the face of the officers on duty here, of course, he would not reveal the top-secret tasks he was shouldering, but only revealed his identity and contacted Zakharov again by phone, vaguely reminding him that the American pilot was acting strangely and skillfully, and told him to inform himself as soon as he got the news.

"Okay. Comrade Rezenov. - Ugh. Other than that. There was also a call from the headquarters before, why don't I give you the number and you call our liaison office? ”

"Okay, what's the instructions up there? I'll ask for myself. ”

Pulling out a pencil to write down the number on the table in front of him, Long Yun glanced at the agent next to him, who turned around and left the room with great interest, closed the door, and then he picked up the confidential phone and dialed out to contact the KGB headquarters in Moscow.

After a few beeps and waiting tones. The person who answered the phone was an old acquaintance, Vladimir Kirov, who first briefly asked Long Yun about the investigation and encounter in the "dead city", and seemed to make a little note while listening; Then he agreed with Long Yun's judgment, and it seems that the KGB top brass also felt that it was imperative to capture the American pilots who appeared in the "dead city". Later, he changed his words and conveyed a message from the military to Long Yun:

"Rest assured, the arrest is now in full swing. Well, Comrade Rezenov, you don't plan to go into the 'dead city' again for a short time, do you? ”

"Ah...... That's pretty much it. ”

According to Long Yun's idea. Of course, he would love to infiltrate the core of the base complex again to continue his investigation, but now it was clear. "My plan is to first fully cooperate with the capture of the American pilot, and maybe I can get more information from him, which is important for the next investigation." ”

"Okay, that's right. -- Comrade Rezenov, the military has just received information from other directorates in the last two days, and after comprehensive consideration, it has proposed to us that you should return to the front-line troops as much as possible, because ......" At this point, Kirov's words paused for a moment, "Are you using a secret line?" - Okay, that's fine. The intelligence compiled by the headquarters indicates that the Americans will soon launch a large-scale offensive in the direction of the Black Sea, and now the shape of the ...... over there Not so optimistic. ”

“…… Oh? ”

Kirov's words surprised Long Yun, and he vaguely agreed.

What does this mean, when I left the front line before, weren't the NATO coalition forces quite honestly nested in the base and not very active? It was probably too long to travel back and forth between the two worlds, and he rubbed his temples before he remembered that it had been almost three weeks since he left the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment for Moscow.

It is not surprising that three weeks, or twenty days, is long enough on a rapidly changing modern battlefield.

"I see. Then I will hurry up and go back to the front line after finishing the business at hand, please say hello to the Air Force, thank you! ”

Unexpectedly, this wave was unsettled, wave after wave, Long Yun, who hung up the phone, sat in his chair and sighed, thinking to himself that as an active pilot of the Air Force, he had done too many part-time jobs recently.

Cameo as a PVO pilot to fight "Blackbird", join the KGB to go on an expedition to the "dead city", and now do you want to be a patrol to catch people?

After making this phone call, he settled down in the KGB's temporary accommodation, and paced back and forth on the floor of his room with a heavy heart, only to feel that there were too many things to encounter now, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

Let's talk about the American pilot who is going to be captured at the moment, ordinary soldiers are most likely helpless in the face of such an opponent, and they are more likely to suffer a big loss; As for himself, he is not afraid of that guy, but God knows where that guy is hiding at this time? If, just if, all the people involved in the search knew that the guy could spy on the consciousness of others, then maybe there would be some wariness; But of course this is impossible, you must not say anything about superpowers, otherwise you are asking for trouble.

After thinking about it for a long time, but there was nothing he could do, Long Yun grabbed his hair in annoyance, and now he began to regret it again, wouldn't it be over if he shot that guy directly when he was in the "dead city"?

Unfortunately, this idea is not realistic; Encountering another superpowered person in the "Dead City" feels very weird when he thinks about it now, Long Yun subconsciously shook his head, he knew that his decision not to shoot at that time was really wise.

Similar to the nature of encountering Su Xue in the real world, there are also superpowers who have mastered the technique of snooping consciousness in the parallel world, and this unexpected discovery reminds Long Yun that the world he is facing is likely to be far more complicated than he imagined; In the face of the fog, that guy is undoubtedly an extremely important clue, and I really need him alive until the whole truth of the matter is investigated.

Alas, what is going on in this bizarre parallel world?

……

Just as Long Yun was staying overnight in Cherkar, waiting for news from the KGB, an inconspicuous figure appeared in front of the road checkpoint in the night, on the outskirts of Orsk, hundreds of kilometers away from the "dead city".

The border guard soldiers, who were originally sleepy, just looked at them casually when they saw someone walking slowly, and didn't pay much attention to it:

"Hey! Please bring your ID out. ”

As the shouts rang out, the figure stopped in front of the checkpoint, and a soldier with an AKM on his back stepped forward to take the papers from the unobtrusively dressed man. Looking at the crumpled public * certificate, I don't know why, the soldier's figure shook slightly; After a few seconds of delay, he handed the document back to the man, and then watched without saying a word as the other party gradually quickened his pace, and his figure gradually dissipated into the distance of the road under the night.

"Sergey, what is that man going for?"

Hearing someone ask, the soldier looked confused, and no one noticed that his eyes were a little sloppy; It seemed to be quite laborious to recall, and in the end, he still shook his head blankly:

"I don't know...... Can't remember. ”

"What? ――I can't remember what that means? ”

……

Facts have proved that Long Yun's worries about the search for American pilots are a bit groundless in a way.

On the morning of the second day of the "Dead City" encounter, Zakharov made a phone call to update him on the progress of the raid; In the city of Orsk, far from Cherkar and also far from the "dead city", several highway checkpoints on the outskirts of the city have reported anomalies indicating that unknown persons have deceived the soldiers on duty and are roaming the area.

In the face of the super-capable American pilots, the KGB agents and internal security forces throughout the Soviet Union's Central Asia provided fairly accurate early warning information, although they did not know the inside story and did not catch him. This is basically due to the KGB's style of "never letting go of any trouble" and the thinking mode of "unusual situations are abnormal", of course, how the above arrangements were made when the specific deployment and arrest, Long Yun does not know, he now only needs to know where the Americans are, he can do it in a targeted manner.

But even so, thinking that the Americans should be in a hurry to flee now, Long Yun is still a little uneasy:

"With the current deployment, can you contain him in Orsk?"

"No problem! This guy is very cunning, but we also have ample means to deal with him. ”

On the phone, Zakharov's tone was no longer as surprised as last night, and he was still very confident in the KGB's ability to handle affairs in the case of carrying out the search and arrest mission, "Now more people have been urgently dispatched from above, and the checkpoints have been notified to intensify the investigation, and the railway station and airport have been blocked; Anyone wishing to leave the ring cordon centered on Orsk will not be allowed to leave unless they have complete identification materials and on-site identification by at least two acquaintances. Of course, this will have a great impact on people's travel, but this guy's identity is extraordinary, we must find him out this time! ”

"Yes! Hehe, this trick is indeed enough. ”

Hearing the idea of interrogation that the KGB came up with, it is indeed very inconvenient for ordinary people to travel, but now it is wartime, and it can't be managed so much, Long Yun thought about it and felt that it should be useful to deal with superpowers, but he still didn't feel at ease, "In that case, I'll go to Orsk as much as possible, please contact the local organization." ”

Putting down the phone and hearing the latest news from Zakharov, Long Yun was not very happy, he had an intuition that he had to go out himself to solve this matter. (To be continued......)
