third rebirth

After sending all the information to Bai Hengyun, Ling Chen turned his head and saw Xiaoshu and Baozi falling asleep on the spot—they were in a mess, and after running thousands of miles, they finally dared to relax and sleep.

Ling Chen stood still, a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart, and the huge anger that followed.His hands clenched into fists subconsciously, his veins bulging.

The familiar body temperature came over me.

Ye Xiao clasped his wrist, shook it twice, and said in a low voice, "Don't be sad, I'll share all the candy with you." Then, he handed over the long knife, "I'll touch the chopping water too. .”

Ling Chen met his clear eyes, and the tide-like anger dissipated like water vapor.Scratching the bridge of Ye Xiao's nose with his fingers, Ling Chen also lowered his voice, "Accompany me to sit on the roof of the car?"

Ye Xiao nodded, pointing to Xiaoshu and Baozi, "They are sleeping, let's go quietly."

The two gently opened the roof sunroof and climbed up.The sky is already bright, and the wind is blowing from all directions, as if it can cleanse people's hearts.

The two held hands, Ling Chen didn't speak, Ye Xiao also stayed silent with him.

After a long time, Ling Chen spoke, with a bit of self-mockery, "I originally thought that my heart had been trained hard enough."

Sufficient enough to withstand failure and the death of a comrade-in-arms.

His eyes fell on an unknown point, "Before I entered the second department, I liked to fight alone. I had a kind of conceited arrogance. I thought that I was the best in the world, and I was not afraid of anyone. Later, I entered the second department and left a few This mission, discovery, and the feeling of being able to deliver each other's backs is really good."

Ye Xiao propped his chin with one hand, looking at him intently.

"I hate my comrades dying in front of me, I hate my own powerlessness. I also hate betrayal, because no one should die under the guns of their comrades."

Sensing that Ye Xiao was holding his hand tightly, Ling Chen kissed the back of Ye Xiao's hand, "Actually, I have never been a person with noble sentiments, nor am I a hero. I don't understand the righteousness of doing my best for the continuation of the human race." Come.

Before Commander Liang died, he handed over the second part to me. I thought, I can't let him die and still feel relieved. Those brothers, if they can live one more, they will be one. "There was a bit of bitterness and embarrassment in his usual casual smile, and his voice became hoarse, "It's just that I didn't do well. "

From puberty onwards, or after gaining self-esteem, Ling Chen seldom showed weakness in front of others—his pride did not allow him to be weak.It was even more so later on, no matter what time and situation he faced, he had to be the calmest and most rational one.

Ye Xiao knelt on the roof of the car, put his arms around Ling Chen's neck, and leaned over.He thought, in comparison, he has no extra sympathy, and he doesn't care whether Noah's world will collapse or not.Even if he was reborn three times, he just wanted to protect Ling Chen.

The malice he felt from this world far outweighed the goodwill.

"Captain is already very powerful." Ye Xiao patted Ling Chen's head clumsily, and said seriously, "You can't save everyone, and you can't save the world with just one person."

Being vulnerable for 1 minute is already enough, the smile on the corner of his mouth returned to his usual lazy, Ling Chen put his arms around Ye Xiao's waist, and rubbed his hair affectionately, "I may have been a bachelor for 99 years, so I just I am so lucky to have met you."

Ye Xiao's ears turned red, and he changed the subject, "Captain, your hair has grown."

Ling Chen raised his eyebrows, "Then...Xiao Maomao cut it for me?"

Ten minutes later, Ling Chen and Ye Xiao returned to the rear compartment from the roof.Jiang Cancan was playing backgammon with the little tree that had just woken up, and he was still humming, "Where is the spring...Spring——" He heard the movement, subconsciously looked to the side, and was immediately startled, "Damn it!"

He raised his hand and shook his fingers, "Brother Chen, after so many years, are you finally willing to do something to your hair?"

Ling Chen narrowed his eyes, "Does it look good?"

"How is it possible—" before the word "good-looking" came out, Jiang Cancan's forehead lit up, and he suddenly realized, and changed his words in a second, "How could it be that it's not good-looking! It really fits your temperament, Brother Chen!"

Ling Chen cast a look of "you're sensible", then turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Cancan said it looks good."

Only then did Ye Xiao heave a sigh of relief - it was his first time cutting Ling Chen's hair, and he was worried that it would be damaged.

Jiang Cancan also breathed a sigh of relief—survival was successful!He said, Ling Chen's baby hair, and only his baby can move it casually.

Ling Chen looked at Xiaoshu, "Don't sleep any longer?"

Xiaoshu's eyes wandered around Ling Chen's head for several times, and he wisely did not talk nonsense, and replied, "I woke up, the strings are too tight these two days, and now I can't sleep for long."

"Yeah." Ling Chen nodded, "Go to bed early at night."

He has hair of inconsistent length, and his eyes are calm.Jiang Cancan panicked, and found another way to poke Ling Chen privately on the communicator, "Brother Chen, your hair, hahahaha!" The word "ha" all over the screen made people's eyes hurt.

Ling Chen replied, "Xiao Mao Mao has her hair cut, and she won't accept any questions."

Jiang Cancan covered his cheek with his right hand, and made a very exaggerated expression of toothache.

The time on the road passed quickly, and they did not rest at night, driving in turns, and finally arrived near the destination on the afternoon of the [-]st.

In the rear compartment, seven people formed a circle, Ling Chen leaned on a gun, and explained the target of the operation again, "Under the wasteland is an abandoned test site. Before it was abandoned, it was used for chemical research. Professor Ling and General Jia brought fifty Individuals, search for an important piece of information in it. Our mission is to find people and, if necessary, assist them in finding information. Understand?"

Xiaoshu and Baozi's voices were neat and loud, "Understood!"

Ling Chen realized that he hadn't heard such a vigorous and encouraging response for a long time.As for Jiang Cancan and the others, it is not bad to be able to give a look.

He waved his hands and poured cold water on his pockets, "It's none of your business. You're seriously injured. Why join in the fun? You two sit in the car. The car has weapons and a complete machine gun team. When you encounter an attack, you guess what to do. "

Xiaoshu and Baozi let out an "oh" dejectedly, and their facial expressions were 100% in sync.Both of them wanted to apply to join the team, but Ling Chen had a lot of prestige, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Holding the military binoculars in his hand, Jiang Cancan reported, "The high-voltage power grid around the target site should not be powered on. There is a warning sign on the side, and the rest is a piece of grass and rocks, as well as a few pieces of rusted metal upside down." plate."

Jiang Mu recalled the information given by Bai Hengyun, "According to the map, the entrance is in the southeast direction, with a deviation of 0.2 from the four o'clock position, not far from where we parked."

Ling Chen nodded, helped Ye Xiao put on his battle uniform, and said hello, "Okay, let's go, brothers, I don't know what's going on down here, life is the most important thing, understand?"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ling Chen put on his camouflage gloves and jumped out of the car first.

According to the location marked on the map, Jiang Mu stood beside a stone, "Cancan, move this stone away."

"Xiaomu wants to call me brother," Jiang Cancan corrected tirelessly, while actively moving forward, he moved the boulder away with two strokes.

After the stone was removed, there was a soft "click", and a calf-high metal column rose up.Jiang Mu squatted down, connected the instrument in his hand to the metal cylinder, and his fingers turned like flowers. In less than a minute, he bypassed the identity verification system and pressed the start button.

The system was old and the response was not very sensitive. After a while, the metal cylinder retracted, and a rusted metal plate next to it suddenly parted to one side, revealing a door.

A group of people walked down one by one, with Jiang Cancan leading the way, and Ling Chen walking down the steps. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Mu said, "The ground is flooded."

The military flashlight swayed over, illuminating a piece of water.Jiang Cancan went down first to test the depth, "Fortunately, it only reached the calf."

With no other choice, several people stepped into the water.The water was very cold, and after walking a few steps, Jiang Cancan beeped softly, "Is there anything in the water?"

Jia Lan, who didn't say much all the way, slapped him on the back, "Beep again, I'll chop your little Jiji!"

"Huh?" So irritable?Jiang Cancan was frightened, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to cover her crotch.He swallowed, didn't dare to speak, and looked back at Jiang Mu aggrieved.However, Jiang Mu was comparing the data and looking at the terrain of the test site, but did not receive his eye signal.

"The terrain of the test site is not too complicated. We have now followed the long ladder to the first floor of the test site, which is the bottom floor. Find the passable stairs and go up. There are still three floors."

Ling Chen asked, "Professor Ling, where might they go?"

Jiang Mu replied, "Preliminarily, I think we may go to the literature room, data center, and mainframe room. The literature room and data center are on the third floor, and the mainframe room is on the first floor. We can continue walking."

Ling Chen decided, "Go to the main computer room first." Then he ordered, "Try to connect to Professor Bai and see if there is any problem with the signal."

Ten seconds later, Jiang Mu reported, "The signal is normal."

Ling Chen: "Alright, you should always pay attention to whether there is any abnormality in the signal."

The five waded through the water, Ling Chen was the last one, and reached out to hold Ye Xiao's hand.The two pose awkwardly, but there is a little tacit sweetness.

The surroundings were terribly quiet, only the echo of breathing and the sound of "squeaking" water. The water temperature was very low, and the cold air started from the calf and went straight up.Jiang Cancan accidentally recalled the ghost story that Jialan told before. He frightened himself until his hair stood on end, and said tremblingly, "Friends, let's have a chat, liven up the atmosphere?"

Jiang Mu: "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Cancan felt that Xiaomu was indeed the best younger brother in the world!He thought for two seconds, "You can talk about anything, as long as someone talks, why don't I sing a song for you?"

Jialan interrupted him, "Let's chat."

With his back turned to her, Jiang Cancan raised his middle finger.

Jialan picked a topic at random, "Who is your pension for?"

Jiang Cancan answered positively, "My dad is a tank soldier, and he became a martyr when Xiaomu and I were very young. His pension recipient's column says my mother's name. My mother cried for a long time, so I don’t leave my pension to her. I have a younger brother named Xiaomu, except he doesn’t always call me brother, he is very good! But in case he cries, I don’t leave it to him, so the pension or something Throw away the second part and confiscate it!"

After he finished speaking with a smile, he asked Jialan, "What about you?"

"I'm also going to throw the second part." She said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, the reason why I entered the second part is to hope that I have the strength to protect the people I want to protect."

Jiang Cancan could tell that Jialan was in a bad mood from the moment he knew what had happened. He comforted him, "Don't mourn, brother, your goal has been achieved! If you have a chance, ask someone outside the second department, as long as you report Saying your name would scare everyone! You are a famous female wolf of the Second Division—"

"Go away, uncle! You are the mother wolf of the second part!"

Jiang Cancan saw that her expression had finally become a little more colorful, and she also felt better.He patted his chest, "That's wrong! Even if it's a wolf, Master Can is my public!"

After humming a couple of messy lyrics, Jiang Cancan reminded, "Oh, brothers, be careful, the water where I'm standing is a bit deep, the ground should have sunk in, be careful not to fall."

After Jia Lan and Jiang Mu passed by, Ye Xiao was about to lift his feet, when Ling Chen grabbed his waist and hugged him suddenly, with no excuses, "We have short legs, the captain will carry you away."

Ye Xiao didn't struggle, put his arms around Ling Chen's neck, and rested his chin on his shoulder.

At this time, he noticed Ling Chen whispering against his ear, "Xiao Mao Mao, I have a suggestion for you."

"what?"

"You can take advantage of this position and give me a kiss."
