Chapter 18: "Top Secret Mission"
Zhang Duzhi smiled bitterly and chased after him quickly, the wooden door was not locked, so he opened it with a slight push, standing behind Gao Yan, his eyes kept looking inside, for a civilian like him, especially a man, firearms and firearms are still more attractive.
Gao gradually opened his mouth and called twice, and it didn't take long for a figure to come from the depths of the shadows.
"Why, little fat man, have you brought someone to slaughter the half-dead old man?" The person who spoke said three times, as if he had reached the end of his life, and he could hear from the sound of walking that his legs and feet were also a little inconvenient.
When the man lit the kerosene lamp in the room, an elongated black shadow slowly emerged, and the first thing he felt when he looked at the black shadow was the word iron and blood.
The man's hand holding the match trembled slightly, but it was extremely powerful, and the right eye was constantly shining golden under the reflection of the kerosene lamp, but the left side was a hollow, and when you looked around the eye socket, you knew that it was intimidating, and the various scars on the face were extremely horrible, and even one scar pierced the cheek, and even cut straight from the eyebrow to the chin.
"This old man must have been an iron-blooded warrior, but for some reason he is now living here. Zhang Duzhi thought secretly.
Eyes swept over the various medals on the wall, those medals seemed to be silently telling the war-torn days, slightly tilted his head, a handful of standard firearms neatly arranged on the wall, and hung them on a wooden frame.
The old man smiled and said to Zhang Duzhi: "Young man, I won't call you by your name, tell the old man what you like, with this little fat man, you can't suffer a loss here." ”
The corners of Zhang Duzhi's mouth twitched, glanced at Gao Yan next to him, and smiled at the old man: "Then I will thank the old man first, I don't know what your name is, and we will have a title in the future." ”
The old man turned around, picked up a rag from the wooden table, and carefully wiped the firearm on the wall: "It's good to call me Zhengzheng, hehe, in fact, it doesn't matter if you remember the old man's name or not, maybe the next time you come back, this shop will change hands." ”
The tone revealed the sadness of the hero's twilight, Zhang Duzhi didn't know his story, but he could vaguely see the high-spirited appearance of the old man Fang Zheng on the battlefield when he was young.
Keeping his mouth shut about the past, Zhang Duzhi slowly browsed around the room, and slowly, he found a problem: although these guns were polished to a shiny finish, and seemed to have been thrown with sandpaper, it was not difficult to see the marks of bumps on them if they looked closely.
Before Zhang Duzhi could ask, Fang Zheng saw his doubts, and stroked the gray beard on his chin with a smile, explaining: "These guns have been on the battlefield, and they are second-hand, but although they have been used, the guns that can be used on the battlefield can prove their stability and reliability, isn't it." ”
The little fat man Gao Yan also hurriedly explained: "These guns were originally used by Grandpa Fang Zheng in the army, and he used these killing weapons to kill many enemies back then..."
Xiao Fat's words undoubtedly revealed some information, so he was interrupted by a calm cough from Fang Zheng.
"Don't mention the past..."Seeing Zhang Duzhi's inquiring gaze shooting towards him, Fang Zheng's eyes dodged, and then he turned around and continued to wipe the guns on the wall.
"You shouldn't be a deserter, right?" said a word in Zhang Duzhi's mouth, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it, but the words he said were like water spilled, and he couldn't get them back.
The old man's back stiffened slightly, and then he slowly turned around, staring at Zhang Duzhi tightly with the only remaining eye, and the original rickety body gradually straightened, and the hair on the latter's whole body stood up, staying in place and not knowing what to do, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing.
At this time, it was still Xiaopang who came out to make a round: "Grandpa Fang is not a deserter, haven't you seen those medals of honor on the wall? That's the evidence." ”
Pointing to the various medals on the wall, Gao gradually glanced at it, Zhang Duzhi quickly understood, and hurriedly responded: "I'm sorry, old man, I was reckless..."
I saw Fang Zheng let out a long breath, waved his hand and said, "You are not the first to misunderstand me, but you are the first to dare to say this to me directly." ”
The straight body bent again, Fang Zheng folded the rag in his hand and put it on the table, and took out three shabby red lacquered wooden stools from below, picked one of them and sat on it, and motioned for Gao Yan and Zhang Duzhi to sit down as well.
Seeing Gao gradually walking over, Zhang Duzhi took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the vendors and buyers in the black market outside were gradually becoming scarcer.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Duzhi still stepped forward and sat down, at this time there was still a day and a half before the time limit of the task, and there was plenty of time, so it didn't hurt to listen to the story of this old man.
"Hehe, I don't usually drink much water, so I didn't prepare a teacup or anything, you guys will settle first..."
Zhang Duzhi waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.
Fang Zheng slowly looked up at the medals hanging on the wall not far away, and his mind traveled through time and space, drifting to the war-torn year.
"At that time, I was still very young, and my eyes were not pierced by the shrapnel of the bomb...", his right hand gently stroked the empty eyes, Fang Zheng began to tell his story back then: "I don't know if you have heard of extraterrestrial meteorites?"
Zhang Duzhi nodded and replied: "The matter of extraterrestrial meteorites is naturally well known, after the first long-distance starship of our D star was produced, the elite space team composed of various countries went to the alien to negotiate, but the alien creatures were angered, and directly summoned extraterrestrial meteorites to attack my D star, and a large area of land was destroyed, but the blessing in disguise is that the people of our planet have mutated after being exposed to the all-round radiation of the meteorite, and they can start cultivating their abilities..."
Fang Zheng looked at Zhang Duzhi approvingly and nodded, and said, "You know a lot about the affairs of our planet, and you are much stronger than the little fat man next to you." ”
"What I'm going to say is shortly after the extraterrestrial meteorite hit Star D, at that time I was just a small commander in our country X, although I had made a lot of military achievements, but there was no one above, so I was never promoted, so I was hanging half-dead in the army, but one day, the leader above directly issued a document to me, ordering me to take a team to secretly infiltrate the radiation area of country Z. ”
Zhang Duzhi was slightly stunned, it stands to reason that if this kind of top-secret task is completed, it will make a lot of achievements, and from then on, he will be knighted and supported by the army, but it depends on the current situation...
