A small door slowly opened under the man's operation, and the old sparrow was pleasantly surprised to find that there was another world behind this doorway.

"Mr. Ivanovich" was on the inside of the door, there were four guards, two people on the left and right, one of them saw the coming, stepped forward to greet warmly, but when he saw Sima Xiangbei, he immediately was on guard and asked vigilantly: "Who is he?" ”

"An unlucky guy. Take him down and wash him well, it stinks to death. Ivanovich slapped his nose with his hand, squinted at the old sparrow in disgust, and walked away.

It had been almost an hour since Ivanovich had just walked out of his room, and in the meantime he had been receiving constant phone calls, knowing that the colonel was in a hurry with him. However, he really couldn't completely erase the memory of the yellow filth in his mouth, so much so that he even suspected that his teeth were not clean, and even broke three toothbrushes, and felt a bad smell in his mouth.

"What the hell is going on with you, it's been an hour, and you're here?!" As soon as Ivanovich pushed open the colonel's door, he heard the complaint of Colonel Aha Menes.

"Alas," Ivanovich sighed, "It's hard to put into words," and told the colonel in detail what had happened to him.

It turned out that this was the Colonel's secret escape pod, and when there was a civil unrest, the Colonel secretly summoned his cronies to enter this secret pod. Ivanovic, as his personal secretary, is of course among his cronies.

At the beginning of the war, they did not dare to leave rashly, because in that case, they would be easily discovered, and they were even likely to be shot down by red-eyed rebel soldiers, so they could only stay in the secret cabin and wait for the opportunity.

Fortunately, his secret cabin has not been discovered. As for the life and death of those soldiers, he doesn't care, his goal is one, to intercept the secrets of the aliens, so that his family can rise.

As long as this goal can be achieved, everything else is a cost. I thought that Lilia had escaped into the alien base, and wanted to contact Lilia and the aliens by contacting her, but unfortunately, Lilia couldn't be contacted at all, and he didn't know what happened to Lilia, and he didn't dare to rush to run again.

All he could do every day was to send his cronies out of the secret cabin to find out what was going on outside.

The other day, it was just Ivan Ivanovic's turn. Coincidentally, as soon as Ivanovich came back from outside, he found Sima Xiangbei churning in the scrap heap, he didn't know Sima Xiangbei, he didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, and in a hurry, he didn't have time to open the door, so he had to hide in a garbage can.

Unexpectedly, he had hidden it well, and it didn't attract Sima Xiangbei's attention, but as soon as he showed up to observe, he was shocked by Sima Daxia's unrestrained way of eating.

In addition to bringing back one person, Ivanovich did not bring back anything of other value: his own men and horses, dead and fleeing, there was no one left, and on the general's side, because of the distance, it was impossible to observe with the naked eye, and for the sake of caution, all the wireless equipment in the secret cabin stopped working, so there was no way to know the general's situation;

As for the alien spaceship, it was still so quietly suspended, not taking a step forward, nor taking a step back, and this was what the colonel was most afraid of and worried about.

Ivanovich finished what he had to say, and the colonel, he listened to what he had to hear, and these conversations were repeated almost every day, and there was nothing new, and they both fell silent.

"Sell in tatters, exchange tattes for money! Sell in tatters, exchange tattes for money!! At this time, an inexplicable sound suddenly came, as if it was in tatters.

The colonel waved his hand impatiently, he didn't even earn his eyelids, this kind of thing, it has happened from time to time in recent days, shouting, yelling, running around inexplicably, he didn't care too much, the meaning of waving his hand was to let the secretary deal with it, whether it was a stick to knock him unconscious, or put him in a small black room, anyway, just don't let him make trouble.

"Collect the rags, collect the rags, beer bottles, cans; Collect planes, collect cannons, and spaceships; Washing machines, fans, plus atomic bombs, helicopters, submarines, and bazookas. ”

"Collect the rags, the ones that collect the rags, the cabbage gang is stupid; Harvest potatoes, harvest yams, and don't lay eggs, too, roosters; Big eggplant and small pepper, we want to swim in the water and fly in the sky; ”

“……”

"Colonel, Colonel, no! Something is wrong, something is wrong!! Just as the colonel's brain ached from the noise from the loudspeaker, the secretary ran in like a gust of wind and shouted.

"What's wrong, what's wrong! Who is crazy? "In the past few days, due to the high tension of the nerves, plus the lack of rest, from time to time there are one or two nervous breakdowns, yelling, at first some did not know how to deal with it, but then slowly got used to it, the colonel did not care, thinking that it was another fool.

"No, listen, the sound came from the loudspeaker."

"Huh? Someone got into the control room? The colonel listened attentively, and the sound really came from the loudspeaker, this surprise is not trivial, the control room is very important, in case someone sneaks in, it will be a big trouble, "Quick, go to the control room" After speaking, he got up and rushed out of the door.

Ivan grabbed the colonel and said: "It's not the control room, I went to see it, and there is no one in the control room!" ”

When the colonel heard this, cold sweat flowed out of his fright, grabbed Ivan's shoulder, and his eyes were full of fear: "Not the control room? How could that be... You mean... Don't? The colonel's red eyes were fixed on Ivan, for fear that Ivan would say what he feared most.

Since he hid, he was afraid that others would be able to trace his traces, so he ordered to turn off all wireless signals, whether it was a sent signal or a received signal, all of them were turned off, it was a real wireless silence, and even the door and lights were restored to the original operation, and they would not be found at all, to be honest, even if they were themselves, if they got lost, they couldn't go home.

"Yes, Colonel, our system is under control!" Ivan didn't dare to meet the colonel's red eyes at all, so he only lowered his head and said softly. Although he tried to control his voice, he couldn't control his thighs, and his legs were shaking.

The colonel roared, "Who?!" Who controls us? ”

"Who? Who? Who? Ivan's eyes rolled rapidly, thinking about all the suspicious details, and suddenly, an obscene image with a mouth full of appeared in his mind, "Is it? Could it be him?! ”

"Who?" The colonel grabbed Ivan by the collar and dragged him to himself, digging a word between his teeth.

"Colonel, Colonel, you calm down first" Ivan's collar was grabbed by the colonel, and even his breathing was a little unsmooth, and when he saw the colonel who was about to go crazy, he quickly comforted him, and quickly told the colonel what happened at the door.

"You bastard!" The colonel was angry and slapped Ivan in the face, "At this time, you actually dare to bring people in, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

"Spare your life, Colonel spare your life" Ivan also realized his recklessness, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"You" Colonel pointed at Ivan with an angry trembling finger, forcibly calming himself, he knew that something had happened, and it would be useless to kill him now, the key now was how to assess the development of the situation and how to solve it, "You go and control him now!" Someone" The colonel ran to the door and greeted loudly, "You, go to Ah San immediately, take him to the control room, and the rest, follow me!" ”

"Sell in tatters, exchange tattes for money...", in the loudspeaker, the unhurried voice continued to play, as if mocking.

"How?" Seeing that the man called 'Ah San' came out of the central control room sweating profusely, the colonel asked impatiently.

"Colonel" Ah San touched his forehead with his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I can't do anything about it, not only our source code has been changed, but even the encoded characters have been changed, and we have never seen new characters... ”

The colonel was from a military background, and he was very knowledgeable about technology, especially computer technology, so to speak, a rolling pin blowing fire - he didn't know anything about it, "What do you mean?" ”

Ah San spread out his hands and said helplessly: "It's just... It's that we've lost control of this flying machine."

"Collect the rags, collect the rags, beer bottles, cans; Collect the flying ship, collect the cannon, and I want the spaceship; Washing machines, fans, plus atomic bombs, helicopters, submarines, and bazookas. The voice in the loudspeaker, as if it was joining in the fun, repeated over and over again.

The colonel was about to collapse by this endless shouting, and he really wondered if he would be like the previous ones, stripping naked and running naked: "Then, turn off the phone!" It's always okay to shut down, right? ”

Ah San said: "No! Because we don't know which key, that command, to shut down. We can't stop the whole system from running except to smash it. ”

The colonel said, "Then smash it!" ”

Ah San said: "Colonel, smash it, all our systems will stop running, we, we all have to suffocate here." ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work! Could it be that we are going to be noisy to death by this voice! We're just waiting here to die? Who the fuck is so lacking in morality! Ivan! Ivan!! Bring that brute to me, I'm going to kill him!" ”

Colonel Aha Menes finally broke out at this moment.

"My lord, my lord, spare my life, I was wronged, I didn't do it, I really didn't do it!" The old sparrow Sima Xiangbei had just been dragged in by Ivan, and before he could figure out what was going on, he heard that the colonel was about to cut him, and his feet were so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Speaking of which, this Sima Xiangbei is sad enough, originally he was still congratulating on his good luck and picking up a life, although he was locked up, but the room was basically available. He was struggling to eat and was taking a comfortable bath in the bathtub.

Unexpectedly, Ivan suddenly broke in and slipped him out of the bathtub, without even clothes, and to be honest, he didn't have a change of clothes. On the way, Ivan only said to him between his teeth: "No matter what the colonel asks, he will say that you didn't do it, and if you dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will let you eat every day." ”

The old sparrow saw that Ivan's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be able to wring out the water, where did he dare to ask why, so he could only nod his head in agreement, and just like that, he was escorted by Ivan in a slippery way.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the colonel being furious, so I could only kneel down and repeat what Ivan had explained, the hair on my body had not yet dried, and the place where I knelt down was soaked in a large area after a while, and I don't know if it was sweat or bath water.

"Humph!" The colonel snorted, his face was hideous, and said, "You didn't do it?" What's the use of that? Come on, drag it out, cut it! ”

"Huh?" Sima Xiangbei's face turned pale with fright, and the hair that was still attached to his body stood up suddenly, "My lord, spare your life, yes, yes, I did it, I did it." ”

"Did you really do that?" The colonel's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he glanced at Ivan seemingly casually.

Seeing that the colonel's tone was a little softened, the old sparrow was overjoyed, and thought, this is the right bet, it turns out that Ivan wants to frame himself, and reacts quickly to himself, otherwise, this little life will be gone, so he said in a very positive tone: "I really did it!" "As for what the hell is going on, I can't care about it now, so I should take it later.

"You've done a good job," said the colonel, "come on... Drag it out, cut it! ”

"My lord, my lord, spare my life."

"Say, did you do it?"

"I... I... I," the old sparrow didn't know how to answer, and tears flowed down his eyes, "My lord, I, I don't know if I did it, but if I said it was me, I did it; The adults said that I didn't do it, and I didn't do it. Spare your life! ”

The colonel looked at Sima, who was kowtowing like garlic, and said jokingly: "Did you do it, don't you know it?" ”

"Sell in tatters, exchange tattes for money." In the loudspeaker, the cries of collecting tatters sounded again.

The colonel looked up at the horn, and this time he did not jump like thunder, on the contrary, his expression was much calmer.

"My lord" Sima straightened up slightly, and said tentatively, "Do you hate this shouting?" ”

"Yes," said the Colonel, "this voice is so annoying, but it can't be turned off, do you have any way?" ”

"This is easy to do" The old sparrow was overjoyed when he heard this, and this sycophant was right. So he didn't care about his own image, got up and crawled to the head of the column, took down the horn on it, and the cries stopped abruptly.

A smile appeared on the corner of the colonel's mouth and said, "Yes, really sensible." I can't bear to kill you. ”

"Hey, hey, hey" Sima got down from the pillar, and immediately bent over, hunched over, and shrunk his neck to the colonel, and said flatteringly: "Master, I am a loyal dog by your side, I will bite whoever you ask me to bite, and I will do whatever you ask me to do." Hehe, you are my master, and the master can reward me with a bone and let me live. ”

The plot changed too quickly, and the people around him didn't react at once, just now there was lightning and thunder, and he wanted to fight and kill, how did he become a loyal servant of the Lord and a model of conscience in a blink of an eye.

"Alright, alright, let's all go back to their posts" The colonel waved his hand and said to Ah San: "Ah San, fix the horn!" ”

Colonel Menes and his secretary Ivanovich walked into the colonel's quarters with their feet in front of them, and Menes sat in his seat, but his eyes were fixed on Ivanovich, who was standing in front of the table, smiling, and did not speak.

Ivanovich was stared at by the colonel so uncomfortably that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Could it be that it was his own incident, don't look at him in the control room just now, with his many years of understanding of the colonel, the more the colonel is thunderous, the safer the person concerned; And like this, the more gentle and drizzling, the more serious the situation tends to be. He had seen this kind of smile, and when the colonel wanted to kill, he always smiled.

"Colonel, I was wrong" Ivan felt a chill in his neck, at this time, how dare he say anything else, quickly admit his mistake.

"Oh?" The colonel still smiled and said, "Then tell me, what are you wrong?" ”

"I shouldn't have brought Sima in north." Ivan pondered this reason all the way, and he had confessed to the colonel before, so he couldn't deny it at all.

"Ivan, how many years have you been my secretary?" The colonel seemed to be caught in his memory, and said to himself, "I think about it, it's been about twenty years. During this time, how many things have you done to steal chickens and dogs, do you think I don't know? I've always tolerated you, do you know why? ”

"I—" Ivan was about to speak, when he saw the Colonel stretch out his palm and stop Ivan from speaking, and the Colonel continued, "Because you are loyal, loyal to me alone. Even though I know you're pimping to my house, I still trust you.

I have only one goal in life, and that is to restore the glory of my family, and everything else can be sacrificed. You like money, you like women, no problem, I can give you all of these. As long as it doesn't cause public outrage, I can open my eyes and close my eyes, and it will be as if it didn't happen. ”

Ivanovich wanted to speak and stopped: "......"

The colonel continued, as if he was really heartbroken, and hated that iron could not become steel: "You should not collude with outsiders to deceive me. Tell me, why did you teach that... That one... Yes, Sima Xiangbei lied to me? ”

Ivan finally couldn't help it and said, "Colonel, Colonel, but I'm still loyal to you." ”

"No, no, no," the colonel waved his hand like a fan, stared at Ivan with his eyes, and said, "There is already a crack in your loyalty, and as long as this crack exists, this crack will not get smaller and smaller, but will get bigger and bigger."

I'm not going to wait until this crack is too big to deal with it, because I don't dare to take the risk. You go in peace, and I'll take care of your family. ”

"Nope! No! It's not fair! Ivanovich exclaimed: "You can accept people with bad deeds, a mouth full of running tongues, and an unclean asshole, why can't you forgive me?" ”

The colonel's tone was still so calm, and he said: "You're talking about that Sima Xiangbei, you're wrong, I never accepted his allegiance, you're right, a person with bad deeds, a mouth full of running tongues, and an unclean asshole, how can there be loyalty at all." ”

"But, Colonel, I don't want to die, I don't want to die." Ivan felt unable to change the colonel's decision, his heart was like ashes, his body seemed to be drained at once, without the slightest strength, and he fell to the ground at once, muttering.

The Colonel's lips finally showed a satisfied smile, and he walked around the table, walked over and crouched down beside him, and said, "Look at what you said, as if I wanted to die." Don't be afraid, patience will pass, for the sake of our years of love, you can choose to die. You see if you want to be killed with a gun, hanged with a rope, or electrocuted with electricity. ”

"Woo woo, I, I want to die of old age..."Ivan finally broke down and began to cry loudly.

"Look, look, talk about it and go off-topic." The Colonel stood up and said.

"Collect the rags, collect the rags, beer bottles, cans; Collect the flying ship, collect the cannon, and I want the spaceship; Washing machines, fans, plus atomic bombs, helicopters, submarines, and bazookas. As if it had been an appointment, at this very opportune time, the shouting from the loudspeaker came again, and the colonel knew that Ah San had reinstalled the horn.

"Colonel, I, I can be your representative, go to the aliens to negotiate...", and when Ivan heard this voice, he seemed to grasp the last straw, and as soon as he turned over, he got up, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said with a swear. He knew what the Colonel's weakness was, and the Colonel would definitely not refuse the advice he made.

"Oh?" The colonel said in embarrassment, "This is not good, in case of danger, my conscience will not be able to get through." ”

"Conscience?" Ivan said to himself, "Do you have that thing?" "This is what I said from my heart, how dare Ivan divulge half a sentence. I saw him patting his chest and deliberately saying loudly in an impassioned voice: "For the great cause of the colonel, in order for the colonel to restore the glory of the family as soon as possible, I will not hesitate to go to the soup and break my bones." ”
