The wind and dust drove all the way.

Tong Yao returned to his apartment at Cartlet's headquarters.

This allotted apartment is a suite for personnel of the rank of lieutenant. There are only 800 soldiers in the Katerit headquarters, and there are only a few dozen officers, most of whom need to live in the barracks because of the war preparation mission, and only a dozen or so people live in the entire block, in the three apartment buildings in front and behind, and most of them are mainly technical officers.

The neighborhood was cleaned up and the pavement was re-groomed. The road is lined with lush street trees and chic manicured gardens, giving the illusion of a throwback to the old days.

The front foot is only a few days away, but the back foot comes back as if it were a world away.

The room was spotlessly cleaned, even the windows were wiped clean. In the housing department on the ground floor, there are more than a dozen professional maids, cleaners, plumbers and other servants who rely on this meager income to support their families.

Although Cartlett is not very humane, it is really comprehensive in its treatment of some core employees, and there are gyms, swimming pools, cafes and other leisure and entertainment venues in the apartment building. You know, in this day and age, many people outside may not even have access to clean pure water, but here, the water is rich enough to fill a small pool.

The cost of apartment maintenance is the account of the company's logistics department, so this slightly extravagant comprehensive management expense does not need to be paid by the tenants living in this building, but they can enjoy the convenience and benefits that are rare in this era. They only have to pay a limited amount of water and electricity bills every month, which is only 120 yuan. This amount of money is almost negligible compared to the income of these people.

Tong Yao closed the door, walked into the bathroom, and began to release water.

She undressed, stepped into the tub, and slowly slid down, letting the water flood her face, submerging her entire body in a full tank of clear water.

It's back again, although the current environment is much better than wandering aimlessly in the wilderness, but I can't always be at peace inside.

She had been in that world for a year, and at one point even thought she would stay forever.

Suddenly returned, melancholy.

She picked up a towel and gently wiped her body, and the color of the water began to gradually darken, and the body of water began to become cloudy. After several days of turbulence, the snow-white and delicate skin was covered with dust, and the fine, like a layer of floating objects, covered the surface of the water with a thin layer of stains.

Every inch of skin breathes the air in the water loudly, and you can feel a hint of activity and contentment. Tong Yao raised his hand, and the water in his hand did not slide down the texture of his palm, but gathered together, like a naughty little person, jumping between his palms.

The water droplets converge into a pool, and the pool becomes a water ball, just suspended in the palm, like a mirror, the person in the mirror has a delicate and well-behaved face, the two sword eyebrows are like sharp blades piercing the sky, and the vermilion lips are slightly raised.

The water balloon shattered, turned into a cloud of water vapor, and rose up.

Tong Yao stood up, draped the bath towel over her body, walked barefoot on the smooth teak floor, and reached out to open the door.

Outside the door, a doorman in a burgundy dress was preparing to knock on the door, but the door opened suddenly, which caught him off guard, and behind the door was a very beautiful girl, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, "Tong.... Ms. Tong Yao, late.... Good evening. He stammered, unable to utter a word in the face of the fierce momentum coming from the opposite side.

"The Council ..... At..... Room 18 ..... "The doorman was still stumbling and racking his brains to recall the words of the supervisor.

"Okay, I know, you can go back," with a bang, Tong Yao slammed the door mercilessly, and at the same time cut off the doorman's obscene gaze. He was a little unwilling, and he sighed a little, and raised his hand blankly in a vain attempt to knock on the door, but in the end reason prevailed over lust, he scratched his head, and walked back unwillingly.

I didn't hear the second half of the doorman's words, but it didn't matter to Tong Yao, she stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and stared out, her pupils were constantly switching between light and dark, in the perspective, one was a peaceful and indifferent pastoral landscape, the other was countless dazzling heavenly fires falling from the sky, countless plants and trees were burned, people were screaming, running miserably, raindrops of cannonballs fell in the sky, setting off bursts of dust and noise, countless people were cut by sharp fragments, blood splashed, corpses spread.

She saw the end of the city.

Since that day, she has instinctively mastered two jurisprudence. Among them, the future vision allows her to see what has not happened, although this ability does not operate by personal will, but at every moment of crisis, it will always give feedback and early warning.

Now, she sees the demise of Cartlet, and although she doesn't know the inside story, the warning has come.

She smiled bitterly, self-deprecating that she was really an unfortunate person, she had thought that this place would become a temporary shelter, but she did not expect that she would be on the road of exile again. She hated being displaced, a world where there was no pure water, no hot food, nothing but the remains of steel and concrete and countless absent marauders who were like ants and pests.

However, this is no longer the case.

She looked down at her jade-smooth arm, the dark green veins stretched under the flesh-colored skin, one by one, and an invisible force slowly rippled with the rhythm.

Yes, this is no longer the case when she was a mere human being.

Tong Yao tidied up her dress, she was wearing a distributed Carterit military uniform, and the armed belt was very tight, revealing her waist that she was holding in a hurry. Cartlet's military uniform pays attention to slimness, and it doesn't look abrupt when worn on the delicate Tong Yao, her chest is flat, not so cumbersome, and she also has a sassy and heroic posture between walking.

After exiting the apartment, after checking her documents in front of the office building, she was guided by a secretarial staff member into a spacious conference room.

Major Hornason, the chief instructor of the training camp, was in attendance, and he sat on Tong Yao's left, next to her, with a warm smile on his face. This is specially arranged by the company, and having an acquaintance, high-level person to attend will make it easier for the interviewee to relax.

The remaining three were all high-ranking officers in the military council, including a general in charge of the intelligence service.

The semi-circular aluminum conference table, five people sitting around, the atmosphere is quite harmonious, and the opposite side does not ask questions and interrogate directly, but gradually unfolds in a chattering way.

The three interrogators began to ask Tong Yao about the details of the synchronized operations with Harris and his gang in the past few days, which were discussed in detail in the initial report, but the intelligence services felt that the face-to-face conversation could allow the other party to recall more details, so this almost casual questioning was born.

Tong Yao, who has traveled back from the old era, doesn't know the details, but with her observation and eloquence, in fact, as long as she understands a little something, she can arrange a lot of things unconsciously. Even these professionals may not be able to dig out anything "inconsistent" from what she says between the lines.

Ye Suqin's diary was recorded in detail, so Tong Yao answered perfectly.

During this time, several inquisitors nodded their heads repeatedly. Tong Yao provided a detailed exposition on the capabilities of several important personnel on the other side, which was the most intuitive understanding of the gap between the two sides in technology and capabilities since the Clock Tower implemented the purchase and sale of nanomachines, and there was also a discussion on the battlefield performance and discourse of the other party's various high-performance weapons, which also made their eyes glow.

"Thank you for your contribution to Katerit, we will record your merits, I personally feel that the rank of lieutenant is no longer suitable for you, ma'am, we are considering upgrading your position, such as the position of captain, I think it is very suitable for you." The general stood up and shook Tong Yao's hand cordially.

"We will strengthen our cooperation with the clock tower in the future,...... Well, we're already strengthening cooperation, and then some of them are busy. The general shrugged his shoulders and opened the conversation, "Through your argument, we understand how powerful the enemy we are about to face, to be honest, I have been in the intelligence department for so many years, and for the first time, I learned that the organization of the Scavenger Rescue Society is not just rising like mushrooms after a rain, although in this damn era, every day various large organizations rise and fall. In fact, we paid attention to this organization seven years ago, its scope of activities was outside our early warning range, and it was only a medium-sized organization of 1,000 people at that time, and the two of us would also exchange some strategic resources, relatively speaking, we got along quite well. For some of the things inside them, also know a little. ”

"Their leader is very secretive, and even the people inside them have rarely seen it, and I even suspect that there is no such thing as a so-called big leader. The day-to-day affairs seem to be maintained by a woman named Laura. I've seen her, a very sassy heroine, whose husband and children died in the Rescue Society's foreign campaign, and who lost an eye, and who is a madman who puts all her energy into her work, and who is crazy and very sensible. ”

"This is not our war." Tong Yao suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted the general's gushing words.

The entire conference room fell silent, and all the whispers and discourses disappeared, and everyone fell silent.

The general smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The war has begun, the advance of the rescue society is less than two hundred kilometers away from us, they are occupying Zavrol, in the last few days, you should have seen that the garrison in the headquarters is much less." ”

"Incomprehensible." Tong Yao spoke.

"In this pursuit, the clock tower lost two officers, two senior lieutenants, and nearly 100 soldiers, which is the most serious accident in the clock tower in the past 30 years."

"Accidents? They characterize this as an accident? ”

"You don't know this behemoth, the Salvation Society is not enough to be the enemy of the Clock Tower, they are just an inconsequential roadblock. However, even if it is a stone blocking the road, it needs to be completely eliminated. ”

"It seems that the big guys have already negotiated the price." Tong Yao tilted his head and stared at the general, "Is it our turn to die again?" ”

"You're smart, kid." The general blinked, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Since the words are in a hurry, to this point, I will be open and honest to understand, although many of them are military secrets, but it doesn't matter, you start now, you are also a part of our Carterit, there is some information, you should know." ”

"It's too far away from Europe, it's too far from the headquarters of the clock tower, and sporadic supplies can be transported at any cost, but conventional weapons can't be implemented all at once, but revenge must be avenged, and the face of the clock tower needs to be taken care of. Otherwise, if left unchecked, it is easy for some groups with ulterior motives to over-interpret it as a serious decline in the internal force of the clock tower, which will lead to a series of accidents and troubles. ”

"You rented out Carterit to be someone else's overseas base?"

Everyone was slightly surprised, although there were more or less implicit hints at this point in and out of the words, but the other party was able to find the key point in many trivial words, and deduce it along this line, this ability is unimaginable.

The rest of the old guys who sat idly with their arms in their arms cast interested eyes, this is a good seedling for intelligence.

"Yes," the general propped his chin in one hand, admiring the little guy in front of him more and more. The two are like chatting between friends, and their demeanor is natural.

"The company has a full in-house production line that can produce various types of conventional shells and bullets. If they want to come to our side to fight, it will inevitably be impossible to carry cumbersome logistics, so we will get a full set of equipment drawings and weapon drawings to produce various general consumables such as gun and ammunition parts for them. ”

"Catlett can earn a lot of foreign exchange income through this operation, even if we only earn a penny from a bullet, it will be an unimaginable income. Moreover, in the process of production and manufacturing, the other party needs to indirectly provide weapon drawings or equipment improvement plans, and even build one or several assembly lines throughout the process. ”

"Looks like we've tasted the sweetness."

"Yes, the other party promised us to build a whole tank assembly line for the production of new tanks, and also promised to fund the construction of a military airport, and provide some third-generation aircraft components and production parts, and promised to help us train no less than 30 pilots." The general knocked on the table and spread his hands, "This condition, the board of directors cannot refuse." ”

"After they leave, we will deserve to be the hegemon of the entire region."

"I've been in this war against the Helpers, so you can only know our enemies clearly if you're on the battlefield. It is not reasonable for them to have weapons and equipment that are not inferior to this era, and it is obviously unreasonable for a group of thousands of people to have all kinds of targeted weapons, disaster weapons, pulse weapons. What does this mean? It shows that there is also an organization equivalent to a clock tower behind the rescue meeting. Tong Yao paused and spoke: "I think the leaders should be clear and clear that this war is likely to develop into a proxy war between the two major forces. ”

"Actually, our think tank has also analyzed this, but compared to the meat swallowed in the mouth, this risk is very necessary. It's a bad time, and there's no chance of waiting for us to pick it up, so we have to bite the bullet. You get the idea. The general spread his hands and expressed helplessness.

"That's all I have to say." Tong Yao stood up.

"Lieutenant Tong," the general also stood up, "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to conduct this round of audit and investigation. The information you have provided will be of great importance in future wars, and I would like to thank you once again on behalf of all my colleagues in the Intelligence Department. ”

"Also, your organization has been assigned, and you will be assigned to Major Hornathan as the company commander of a deep penetration company. You're old acquaintances, so I won't introduce them much. ”

Major Hornathan stood up and shook Tong Yao's hand cordially, "It is precisely because of the old acquaintance that I can overcome public opinion and strive for your deployment authority, you are my student, no one here knows you better than me, your joining is undoubtedly the most correct decision in my life." I actually want you to be my deputy, that is, the deputy regimental chief of staff, but unfortunately, the old diehards in the military department feel that it is obviously easy to shake the internal system of Carterit by suddenly promoting an outsider to this height, and I was slapping the table and dropping my hat at that time, but unfortunately, those old stubborns do not enter the oil and salt, and I have nothing to do, alas. ”

"You shouldn't speak ill of the military department in front of me, because I'm also the old stubborn in your mouth." The general smiled and punched the major.

Major Hornathan grinned and patted Tong Yao lightly on the shoulder, "Rako and Paz are also in my team, and all of your graduates are here, and I can't wait to go to the battlefield now." ”

Tong Yao smiled reservedly and nodded.
