Xu Keqiang said disapprerovingly: "I was injured during the blasting exercise, it's okay, and I made a second-class meritorious service." ”

Lao Xu knew that second-class merit was rare, and he had doubts in his heart, but he was more worried about his son's injury, and asked, "What kind of injury is it, why haven't I heard you mention it?" It's not easy to find a daughter-in-law like this. ”

Xu Keqiang smiled: "It happened three years ago, there is nothing to say." I wasn't alone in the injury. And now that the medical level is developed, it will be good to fix it when I am discharged from the army, and I can be more handsome. Now there are rough old men all around, and this scar is the glory on the face, and no one else has it, so I am amazing. ”

Lao Xu sighed, but chose to believe his son's words.

Xu Keqiang, as the person in charge of this operation, not only managed the dozen or so soldiers under him, but the large army was still behind. The person who came first had to erect communication lines and temporary power systems, arrange construction plans, and so on.

Lao Xu chatted a few words and was also separated by his son, and others did not dare to disturb their serious work. Only Mo Xun could interject and guide them where the signal was good and where the line could be borrowed.

It was busy until late at night, and everyone else had already fallen asleep, and Xu Keqiang finally finished the work at hand.

was about to wash, and as soon as he undressed himself, he slapped his head fiercely, and quickly called Mo Xun out alone. He took out a thin waterproof sealed bag from his underwear and handed it to Mo Xun: "I almost forgot, this is a document that my superiors asked me to pass on to you separately from others, and I don't know the content." The superior explained that you can choose to open it to see it or not to open it and burn the file directly. ”

Mo Xun looked at the code name representing the encryption level on the file bag, and had vaguely guessed the content inside, he thanked him, took the file with both hands, and opened it without hesitation.

Xu Keqiang avoided his gaze and did not lean over to ask questions.

Mo Xun quickly read the documents, put them away closely, and said, "I accept this new task." ”

Xu Keqiang raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "I heard from my superiors that Ling has retired from XXX due to injury?" I thought you'd burn this. ”

"Well, it's retired. But we are facing a global catastrophe, and my previous injuries are almost healed, and I can't think of a reason to refuse. Mo Xun didn't seem to want to talk about the past.

Xu Keqiang said quietly: "I saw one three years ago, and I have never understood why I sacrificed so many people to save him. Now I seem to understand a little. ”

Three years ago? Mo Xun's mind once again resurfaced the experience of returning to China after nine deaths. Indeed, he was the only one of the five in a group who returned home alive, and those who met them at the border were also killed and wounded.

Why? In fact, he didn't understand, it should be possible to get the information he carefully kept from his corpse, why should so many people die and save him?

His father is such an unrepentant bad person, he first entered this industry with the heart of atoning for his father's sins, and every time he goes on a mission, he desperately looks down on life and death, but he doesn't expect to be saved again and again. He has to work harder for the next task to be worthy of the dead man.

Xu Keqiang saw that Mo Xun was silent, and did not continue. Although the appearance is not the same, the temperament is different, the height and voice are very similar, and I was a little suspicious from the first time I saw Mo Xun, but now it is basically determined.

"On that occasion, two of our people were killed and six wounded. I was just injured by the explosion, burned some flesh and skin, all my limbs were complete, my eyes were not blind, my ears were not deaf, and I still took a few months to recover, but because I failed the psychological assessment, I was forcibly transferred to become an engineer, and several other injured people were left disabled and retired directly. ”

Xu Keqiang paused, as if calming his emotions, "I heard that most of the people who retired alive and retired in XXX will be transferred to important second-tier positions, but I didn't expect you to choose to retire." ”

Mo Xun is now sure that Xu Keqiang guessed that he was the person he was three years ago, but at most he knew his number, and it was impossible for the receiving troops to know his real name and identity and mission.

"I was injured and disabled on my last mission, so I'm not fit for high-intensity work, and I'm not the kind of person who can sit in an office," he generously admits. I can get a lot of money plus the previous bonus when I retire directly, and I can stop working and retire in advance if I change my identity. ”

Xu Keqiang obviously didn't believe this set of rhetoric, and there was a tremor in his voice: "I have also participated in your kind of training and selection, and I know that in addition to your skills, your heart and acting skills are also very capable." You know how many lives you have, and those who are involved with you are vulnerable.

Did you really happen to retire in my hometown, or did you accept some secret mission a long time ago, pretending to retire and change your name, but in fact you came here to protect the Jingui base?

Seeing that Aunt Du takes care of you as a son-in-law, and Sister Xiaoqing's expression is so real when she looks at you, they definitely don't know your past either. If you're just using them as a cover, I advise you to explain it to them as soon as possible, and don't get involved too much. ”

Mo Xun was stunned for a moment, and did not explain that the encounter with Qi Qing was just a coincidence, and it was a complete accident to come here and find the base. After all, he had accepted a new task, and it was indeed not suitable for emotional bonding, so he just nodded in the end: "Well, although it may not be what you think, I will make it clear to them when the confidentiality clause allows." ”

Xu Keqiang sighed lightly, and then changed back to the honest and cheerful tone he had before: "Actually, after I became an engineer, I only heard from my predecessors that there are several similar secret bases across the country, and the people involved in the construction have signed a lifelong confidentiality agreement, and they can't confide in the outside world." I didn't expect that there was one in the place where I grew up, and I really wanted to have the opportunity to go inside the base and have a look. ”

"It's a pity you're here to fix the isolation, aren't you?" Mo Xun also restrained his thoughts and returned to his calm appearance.

Xu Keqiang replied with a guessed expression on his face: "Yes, our side is responsible for the construction of the civilian part of the shelter, as well as the isolation facilities. However, I guess another team went straight to the base, and the mountains around here are empty, and there must be other exits to the base. ”

Mo Xun didn't comment on the base, but just asked, "How many people is estimated to be in the shelter here?" Can remote communication be restored? ”

Xu Keqiang said: "The communication with the town is okay and can be repaired. Longer communication will depend on the progress of the restoration elsewhere. ”

Mo Xunning said: "At present, the outside temperature is not too high, it is considered a buffer period, some people say that the temperature may continue to rise in the future, and it will be more difficult to transport at that time." Do you and your superiors know about this? ”

Xu Keqiang nodded: "The current engineering design standards are considered according to the extremely hot natural disasters with higher outdoor temperatures and longer duration. There's also a greenhouse planting program inside the shelter, and another wave of experts is in charge of it, and then they'll come with the seeds, and we'll get the infrastructure up first. ”

"Greenhouse? I haven't seen a greenhouse in the bomb shelter. But according to your father, there used to be a cave in the belly of the mountain that was an ecological park. ”

Xu Keqiang was surprised: "It turns out that my father didn't brag, he actually went to that area." ”

"Is the area he's talking about inside the base behind that door?"

"No, now we are only in the No. 1 air-raid shelter, located under the ground of the entire factory, and we used to come here during the civil air defense exercises in the factory. In fact, there is a No. 2 air-raid shelter in the middle of the mountain, which is higher and closer to the base. There is an ecological park and an aircraft hangar, which was originally designed to take off and land small aircraft, but it has not been maintained for many years and needs to be repaired before it can be used.

The two air-raid shelters No. 1 and No. 2 are connected, but when the Jingui base was separated separately, it was also disconnected and blocked for safety reasons. Tomorrow, we're going to open the passage over there. After the two bomb shelters are combined, they can accommodate 10,000 people to take refuge, and they can not only live in them, but also plant them and engage in other production. ”

Mo Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Today's first shift, and another shift in the evening.
