"Sure enough, the rumors are true." Taylor shrugged his shoulders regretfully, "The headquarters is too far away from us, although I can't reach here, but the order is down, I have to do things according to the rules, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to be a man." ”

He pointed to it, gesturing to the mayor and the others to star.

"Let's play by the rules." Ye Suqin is also very considerate of the other party.

"Why not join one of them? Whether it's Carman or Richard, there's an old saying that it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. After all, with your talent, it is not easy for everyone to be afraid, and no one wants you to fall into the hands of your opponent, go out for a walk by yourself, and be shot in the head from two kilometers away. ”

"Carman and Richard are not capable people after all, and even if they are capable people, they can't prevent a shot from your amazing skills."

"Actually....." Ye Suqin hesitated for a long time, and finally confided: "The Habsburgs are also recruiting me." ”

Tairo gasped, then calmed down and said lightly: "Actually, I think you might as well agree." In comparison, that side is more suitable for you, and there are capable people everywhere, and in comparison, it is not as good as this side of the woods and forests. To be honest, your talent is on the Habs's side, you really can only be regarded as a person, and no one will be bent on dealing with you, you will live an easy and happy life, I think you should think about it. ”

"Of course, if you really want to go to the Habs, take Antti with you."

"She's not yours?" In the latter words, Ye Suqin did not continue.

Taylor waved his hand casually, "She's the child of one of my deceased comrades. He sacrificed himself to save me, and I adopted Antti, and I hope she has a good home in these bad times. You look good, at least more than most of the people in town. ”

Ye Suqin was stunned.

"I'll think about it." Ye Suqin nodded, "What is the task given to me by the headquarters?" It won't be to explore south of Zachloo Peak. ”

"You're not really going to do this mission, after all, it seems like there's something big going on over there." Taylor smiled.

"But I won't go, it's hard for you to make a difference, I'll pay attention, take a trip to the edge, and submit a report that doesn't matter." Ye Suqin said.

"It's perfunctory."

"After all, they almost tore their faces, and I was perfunctory, and I guess they wouldn't say anything. Moreover, Carman and Richard will have results in the near future, and when I have my hands free, I think my trouble will come. ”

"It's really uncomfortable to be squeezed in the cracks." Taylor smiled, "I'm old, I just want to live a peaceful retirement life, you Buddhas, I can't afford to be a sin." ”

He stood up, stepped into the back cupboard, took out a bag of coins and threw them on the table, and with a thick sound, countless coins were thrown out and scattered all over the table.

"This is the 2,000 yuan I personally funded for you, anyway, you have to make a trip, why don't you do me a favor." Taylor said.

He solemnly took out a notebook from his pocket and threw it over.

The cover is a bit old and looks very old. Ye Suqin stretched out his hand to scoop up the diary, the edge of the leather cover had been worn in many places, and the pages inside had also become a little yellowed and fluffy.

Ye Suqin looked up at him, Tai Luo bowed slightly, and motioned for him to open it and take a look.

Turning the title page, an old photograph was pasted on it, on which the young man was full of vigor, with an open-top military vehicle in the background, and a concrete floor behind it, which could be seen from the faint fence and buildings, which seemed to be some military base.

The young man bears some resemblance to Taylor, and judging by the date at the bottom of the photo, it should be his grandfather.

Ye Suqin turned the first page.

"August 22nd, fine. It's another boring day, six months to go, damn it. Today, Bourne and Zuma had another fight over trivial matters, and the platoon commander called me in and scolded me. It seems to be discharged from the army quickly, as if to leave this broken island where birds don't quickly. Oh, and Boden seems to have fished a big grouper under the reef in the afternoon, aha, it's a good day. ”

"August 29, cloudy. It's a few days before retirement, and today is again with nothing to do. In the afternoon, several officers from the personnel department came to investigate, and they didn't know what was worth inspecting such a broken island. ”

"September 2nd, rain. I didn't have a today, it's great, it's another bad day. At noon, the platoon commander called me over, and after chatting for a while, he said that he had to send a few personnel to the interior recently. He told me to be prepared. Aha, great, you can go back to land, who wants to stay in this bird place, you can't even see a woman. ”

"September 15th, cloudy. As soon as I got off the plane, I was picked up by a military vehicle, and I don't know where my destination was, but we had been driving for two hours on the Ring Road. Don't know how the new unit is? Everything is full of curiosity. ”

"September 16th, fine. I stepped into a new environment with four comrades. It's in the middle of nowhere, and you can see any village within a hundred miles. I had a bad feeling that yes, we were assigned to the engineer barracks, and our job was to dig up the mountain. They seem to want to build a permanent military base underneath. Fuck, it's better to stay in the old unit, alas. ”

"October 15th, rain. The new company commander found me and worked hard for half an hour on my mind. I politely suggested that I would expire in two months and that I did not want to continue in the service. The company commander looked at the notice of extension of service in his hand, and said with a smile, you are thinking about it. ”

"October 16th, fine. I ended up staying, I signed a three-year contract, and by the end of the year I would be a non-commissioned officer. There is no other reason, I am short of money, I lack a lot of money, but now that I am discharged from the army, I have no work experience and ability, stay here, I can receive a salary of more than 3,000 yuan per month, counting subsidies and military age awards, I can get 3,700 to 4,000, which is unimaginable outside, my father has been a worker for 20 years, and now it is only 1,001 a month. ”

"November 6th, fine. Dad's illness still hasn't improved, and the doctor said that it was a disease caused by overwork and needed to be recuperated slowly. Recuperate, recuperate, and recuperate, and the daily medicine money is a lot. The heavy pressure was on my shoulders, my younger brother had to go to school, my father had to see a doctor, and my mother's income alone could not support it, so this evening, I walked into the company commander's barracks. ”

"November 20th, fine. Today, Borden took turns off, and took a few brothers to drive more than 200 kilometers to the county seat at the foot of the mountain to go to the waves, and after holding back for more than half a year, he could finally release his nature. I didn't go, and it would cost me a lot of money to go out. When he came back in the evening, he brought a lot of delicious food, I didn't move, I ate people with a short mouth, and I will have to return it in the future.

"December 25th, fine. Today's New Year, the company commander gave the following a holiday, as long as you don't run too far and don't go too far. Today finally opened the meat, the cooking class slaughtered a pig, and the steamer outside was full of white meat buns, looking hungry to death. It's too remote here, and the supply only comes once every half a month, and I can't eat a few meaty meals in January. Watching a movie in the evening, the company commander hurriedly came to blow the whistle to gather men, and heard that a new recruit who was on patrol was missing. ”

Ye Suqin turned over here and raised his head, there was nothing worth noting so far.

He believed that Taylor would not be untargeted, the diary was not thick, and it was probably only about two hundred articles, and he continued to read it.

"December 26, cloudy. The recruit who had been looking for a night yesterday to no avail, but he came back by himself this morning, his face was a little sallow, his expression was a little confused, and the company commander asked questions repeatedly, he was confused and at a loss. From their conversations, I learned that this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and it happens two or three times a year. A superstitious veteran said that this mountain is not clean, there was originally a village on the opposite side of the mountain pass, when the Japanese army invaded Kavendi in the past, the resistance army relied on the village to build an outpost, but unfortunately the traitor betrayed, the Japanese army took people to clear the village, the whole village was killed, and the corpses were in the wilderness. This recruit was called by the lonely ghost over there to hook the soul. ”

"The more the birdman talked, the more mysterious it became, and I was scared into a cold sweat in broad daylight."

"On January 6th, light rain. Today is the patrol post in the south of my office, there are four people in the same team, there is an abandoned outpost two kilometers ahead, and then come back there, even if the task is completed, but at night, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and I don't know which officer above has come up with a patrol route that is used as a pocket. ”

"Halfway through, I was a little anxious to urinate, signaling them to go first, and I would run over to meet them later, and a few people frolicked and said that I was lazy and urinated a lot, hey, these animals."

"I found a place, pulled out my pants and released the water, this big night, the shade of the trees is sandy, and I can see that people are panicking."

"What, I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a white shadow down the downhill, it's moving? Oh my God, I quickly took off my rifle, and it stood up, like a girl? Soon, there is no village nearby this big night, is the girl who brought it the daughter of the base officials? Ran out. ”

"That's okay, barren mountains and forests, I'll go down quickly........ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇。 ”

“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇。”

“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇。”

"January 7th, fine. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇，▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇。 ”

"March 5th, Sunny, I found the recruit who disappeared last time today, and I pulled him into a corner. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇，▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇。 ”

"April 9th, fine. Today, when it was my turn to take a vacation, I sent away a few colleagues who were supposed to drive to the county seat with the team to take a break together, saying that they had some personal matters to do. I watched them drift away, then turned around and walked in the direction of the camp. ”

“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇。”

"Things turned out to be exactly what I expected."

“@#￥%%…………&**（）*&……%#@”

He flipped through it quickly, and a large number of places were altered, and it was directly erased with the thick ink, and there was no trace of the ink covering it.

What exactly did Taylor's grandfather find? What was as he expected, and what was going on?

The original diary, the first half of the diary is okay, it is to narrate some trivial matters, although the follow-up has been largely altered, but there is still some handwriting, to the "things are really as I expected" this period behind, the latter is all unintelligible scribbled words, if these messy lines can still be called words.

It can be seen that the state of the writer is already a little wrong, although the lines are messy, but there are still rules, and it is even more strange in the back, as if a person is in a state of madness, dense and disordered lines are full of them, interspersed with various blue or red handwriting.

Ye Suqin flipped through these ghost-like pages in a row, and gradually, some words were revealed.

"On October 26, we waited for the arrival of military vehicles in the cold wind. We had our numbers revoked, the base was permanently sealed, and everyone but twenty of them had to leave here by car today. ”

"When we left, we signed a non-disclosure agreement, and under no circumstances could we reveal anything about what was happening in the base. The company commander kept smoking, and he looked restless. I raised my eyes and took one last look at the slowly closing steel gate, where workers trotted to block the entrance with cement. ”

"It was a nuclear defense facility embedded in the interior of the camp, and a collection of old tanks and artillery were mothballed inside. It had been repaired and was about to be delivered, but no one expected that would happen. The seriousness of the situation has been known above, and it has to be sealed. At least until the problem becomes more out of control, evacuation is also the most helpless option. ”

"I've been here for three years, and who knows, how did I get through those three years, and if I went out and wrote a book about my experiences in those years, it would be a big hit. Unfortunately, a non-disclosure agreement was signed. ”

"Hopefully this reinforced concrete is strong enough to seal the damn thing."

"I'm in a military vehicle, and I'm probably not going to set foot here again in my life. I wrote down the coordinates, x.Y. Although I think that I will not come in my lifetime, perhaps, when I am old........ I'll be back, waiting for Pavla. ”

This is the end of the diary. The next few pages were torn out. Ye Suqin closed the diary and gently stroked the worn cover. There is an absurd and creepy intuition inside.

"Your commission is not for me to find this sealed military base."

Taylor nodded, "If possible." ”

"As you can see from the text, my grandfather has encountered something terrible, and I probably guess that he may have encountered metamorphosis while digging a tunnel."

"What the hell is metamorphosis? Could it be that in 2024, there will be a sighting record of metaplasia? I thought it was a biological weapon used in World War III. ”

"It is true that biochemistry is a biological weapon, but it was not created by man, and it is still necessary to say." Taylor stroked his beard, "You should ask the researchers at the Clock Tower, they have well-kept records and research notes. I'm sorry I can't answer this kind of question. ”

Ye Suqin pursed his lips.

"For hunting metamorphosis, this, you are an expert, I won't say much. After the clean-up, I will send someone over, there is a batch of old antiques from the Second World War period, these things are obsolete goods for the headquarters, they are too valuable to me, and after simple repairs, they can be taken out to deter. ”

"That base is too far away from us, let's give it to you, anyway, you are raising children, and raising children also needs a safe and suitable place, which used to be an anti-nuclear, biological, and chemical shelter in the old era of Cavendi. There is a complete set of drinking water, food, defense, medical and air purification systems inside, which is too useful for being a 'kindergarten'. ”

Ye Suqin stood up, picked up a coin and stuffed it into his jacket pocket, "Thank you, I'll take one is enough, and the rest of the reward, please give it to Sangborn, he knows what to do." ”

Without looking back, he pushed open the door and walked out, the sun shining outside.
