After a brief dinner, the middle-aged officer led Cao Xueyang to a terraced house with a courtyard and rang the doorbell.

Soon, someone came and opened the door.

The one who opened the door was naturally Jin Erniang.

At this time, she wore a brand new set of military uniforms, a pair of gold-wire glasses, and the two bars and four stars on her shoulders were shining, looking heroic and handsome, and she beheaded both men and women.

"Captain Jin, Dr. Cao has brought you safely." The middle-aged officer saluted and said loudly.

Jin Erniang chuckled and returned the salute: "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Liu, go and do your own work." ”

"Yes!" Major General Liu bowed slightly, nodded to Cao Xueyang, and then turned back in a very standard military posture and strode out.

Seeing that Lao Liu was walking away, Cao Xueyang slowly exhaled.

After all, in front of a real general, she is still a little restrained.

In addition, she still has a question, and she has been holding back and not daring to ask.

Because, in terms of military rank, a major general is definitely higher than a colonel.

But it seems that Jin Erniang is the superior, and Major General Liu is the subordinate.

Naturally, she was curious, and her heart was full of questions.

Jin Erniang also seemed to see her doubts, and explained with a smile: "In terms of military rank, Lao Liu is higher than me, but in terms of position, he is only a guard company commander, so ...... So why is my position as captain higher than him? You tell me? ”

Cao Xueyang frowned slightly, nodded and said, "When I was a child, I heard my father say that it is true that the position is superior to the military rank. But that's too much of an exaggeration, isn't it? Major General used as a guard company commander? Elite special operations company commanders are used to be ordinary soldiers? Should I say you're? Or is it waste? ”

Jin Erniang thought about it sideways and said with a smile: "It's still awesome." ”

Cao Xueyang also smiled and said, "I think so." ”

After speaking, the two walked into the townhouse side by side, and came to the small living room on the first floor, Cao Xueyang sniffed from the air and raised his eyebrows: "It's really fragrant, it's the Tieguanyin of Anxi." ”

"Little girl, the nose is quite smart." Jin Erniang handed the high-grade Tieguanyin that had already been brewed to Cao Xueyang and said: "Drink less coffee, otherwise, if you are young, you may have headaches, muscle pain, fatigue, and lack of concentration......"

Cao Xueyang nodded, took a sip of tea, and said with emotion: "However, this is also something that can't be helped." After all, the first aspect of archaeological work is getting used to coffee and instant noodles. The second is to endure loneliness and temptation. ”

"That's right." Jin Erniang turned her head sideways, her expression seemed to be a little scary, as if she was reminiscing about Cao Xueyang's words just now, and as if she was making some major determination, but she didn't say anything after all.

She is so ghostly that Cao Xueyang doesn't dare to say anything, let alone take Yang Tingfeng back to the Zisai Research Institute's excessive request.

After five minutes of silence, Jin Erniang finally got straight to the point: "Two things, let's discuss them with you!" ”

When Cao Xueyang heard this, he immediately put down the small porcelain cup and said seriously: "Please speak." ”

Jin Erniang glanced at her, but did not reply.

Cao Xueyang is also a person from the system, and he reacted immediately

——Did the Jin team in front of him think she was too polite?

So, she immediately changed her tone, smiled and said, "Just say." ”

Jin Erniang laughed a few times, put on a teachable expression, and wrote lightly: "Don't do archaeology, don't take it at night." You have a doctorate degree, and you will be given the treatment of a deputy battalion according to the regulations, and you will be awarded the rank of major. ”

She said this without a head or a brain, paused for a moment, as if she felt that something was wrong, and added: "This has nothing to do with your father." It is we who need a special talent like you, and the treatment given to you is also in strict accordance with the relevant regulations on the awarding of military ranks by national military officers, without any green light or privileges. ”

Cao Xueyang didn't say anything, just silently took a sip of tea and lowered his head.

She knows that if she can join the army, then the happiest person is her old father who is a lieutenant general.

When she was a child, her uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle who were soldiers all said that she was born to be a soldier, and this green uniform was her best stage.

In her junior year of high school, the army came to the school to recruit pilots, and she fell in love with her at a glance.

After checking her files, several military colleges and universities threw olive branches to her, and the whole family was so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.

It's just that these colleges and universities were all politely rejected by her.

In the year she graduated from high school, she was admitted to the Department of Archaeology of Peking University with the highest score in the city, and embarked on a new journey under the incomprehensible eyes of the school leaders.

After that, she studied hard, studied hard, and finally obtained a master's degree.

After obtaining her degree, she continued to overcome difficulties and eventually obtained a doctorate, a rising star in the field of archaeology.

Regarding her choice, Cao's father didn't say anything.

After all, it was his daughter's choice, and he unconditionally fully supported it.

However, in Cao's father's heart, there is always such a regret.

And Cao Xueyang didn't think about joining the military, but when she thought of the cuteness of her family's fathers, she gave up again.

After all, she is also a strong person.

"Give me a reason."

Cao Xueyang suddenly sighed and said, "Or, the real reason why you don't take care of me at night." ”

Jin Erniang had long been prepared for the problem in Cao Xueyang's heart; I also appreciate her seriousness.

So, Jin Erniang first sifted a cup of new tea for Cao Xueyang, and said slowly:

I've seen your file, and I've heard about your family background. I did not recruit you because of your father. On the contrary, it is precisely your ability. You must know that if we want, the whole army has 2 million active duty and more than 10 million elite reserves at my disposal. However, this is not what we want. In recent years, as the international situation has become more and more complicated, the quality and academic qualifications of soldiers have also been continuously improved, which has made us profoundly aware that it is not enough to rely on recruiting soldiers from within the armed forces alone.

After a pause, she continued: "Therefore, in this video and telephone conference, the scope of our recruitment has been broadened, and in addition to the whole army, the focus has gradually moved closer to the localities. That is, everyone we deem appropriate, can join. ”

Cao Xueyang lost his voice and said: "All? This volume? Isn't it a bit too .......?"

Jin Erniang shook her head and said, "Do you think it's big?" No, I'm telling you, it's not enough at all, it's far from enough. So far, not counting you, I've recruited two; You also know people, a Yang Tingfeng, a Jing Xiaolei. But you must know that the task given to me by the organization is to recruit 100 in the first phase. ”

Cao Xueyang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's only a hundred, I think you must be over-compiled." ”

Jin Erniang continued to shake her head and said, "If you can't do it, I can tell you very responsibly; Before leaving, Yeshou deliberately approached me and said that if I could recruit half of it, the task would be completed. ”

This time, it was Cao Xueyang's turn to gasp: "Half? So strict? ”

Jin Erniang sighed and said solemnly: "Cao Xueyang, I ask and ask you at the same time, you must join, it has nothing to do with your father, we need your ability." But I also want to tell you that if you join us, the dangers you face will be much higher than you think, and you should be prepared. ”

Hearing this, Cao Xueyang took another breath of cold air: "How high is it?" ”

Jin Erniang said "um", took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Look at Xiaolei, people have disappeared before they have been officially reported, it's so cruel." ”

Before the words fell, Cao Xueyang hesitated.

Jin Erniang was not in a hurry, she lit a cigarette and whispered: "I know, you really want to join us, but you have a lot of doubts, don't you?" ”

Cao Xueyang nodded.

"Don't worry, I've talked to your director." Jin Erniang took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "The work at hand will be handed over to your other colleagues, so there is no need to worry." ”

Cao Xueyang also said "um", but did not answer.

"So, what doubts are there that are worth your hesitation?" Jin Erniang asked.

Cao Xueyang smiled bitterly: "Naturally, there is, you just don't know." ”

Jin Erniang smiled: "Of course I know, do you want to tell your father about such a big thing?" Should I ask him for his opinion? ”

Cao Xueyang nodded again.

Jin Erniang smiled, snuffed out the cigarette, and said, "Just now, just after the meeting, I deliberately flew to the capital. Met your father and brought you this. ”

With that, she took out a voice recorder from her military uniform and pressed the button.

The voice was recorded very clearly, Cao's father's unique Northwest Han dialect sounded very kind, but a thousand words couldn't resist a sentence - Xueyang, no matter what decision you make, Dad will support you unconditionally

Cao Xueyang listened very uncomfortable, and his eyes were red.

Due to work reasons, she often went to the ancient tombs in the wilderness with the archaeological team, and stayed for several months, and she didn't even have time to eat a hot meal or sleep when she was busy, let alone call her parents to report her safety.

Seeing this, Jin Erniang pressed the pause button of the voice recorder, grabbed the cigarette case, got up and came to the gate, and whispered: "Do you know, Cao Xueyang, your father has always been proud of you." He said that you are the greatest pride of his life. ”

Cao Xueyang was silent and silent.

Jin Erniang sighed, opened the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and gently closed the door.

When she closed the door, there was a heartbreaking sob.......

Anyway, the undead squad has finally ushered in a third new partner.

However, the trouble is that while welcoming a new person, he also temporarily lost two partners

- Broken Wind and Thorn Buds

Now they are missing, and the other has serious physical problems, and this is the trouble in the trouble.

Thinking of this, Jin Erniang couldn't help laughing, her smile was full of bitterness, she knew that the real test had just begun.

The next undead squad has two urgent missions.

First, she, Jin Erniang, continued to recruit soldiers and expand the team.

Second, she is ready to send Yang Tingfeng and Cao Wuming back to the past dynasty and bring Jing Xiaolei back to the present world, and the crisis and risks in front of this are also what Jin Erniang is very worried about

- What if people can't bring it back in the past? Or, how can even Yang and Cao be missing?

"Report!"

A loud report pulled Jin Erniang's thoughts back.

But I saw that a strong man in his early thirties, one meter seven or eight tall, ran over.

His face was covered with camouflage liquid, and the rank of his collar was two bars and two stars, lieutenant colonel officer. He was wearing a nano combat suit, holding China's latest QTS-11 strategic rifle, with a classic 92 modified pistol at his waist, and his steps were calm and vigorous.

The lieutenant colonel officers are definitely professional soldiers, or are they recruited from the special forces of the large military region - the special forces officers of the Blue Army, who can imitate the combat characteristics of any army in the world and conduct targeted training with the Red Army, and are known as the special forces of the special forces.

"Team Jin, the first night sent an emergency video and telephone conference from the headquarters, asking Team Jin and Team Cao to lead all the members of the immortal squad, including new members, to gather at the logistics warehouse No. 095."

"Got it."

Jin Erniang immediately ordered: "Ring the arrow, you notify all the members, assemble, and return to the team!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
