third rebirth

The eyes of the five people were all focused on the square black password box.

"On the [-]th, I took the task and led the team to set off. When I arrived near the Engineering Institute, I sneaked into the Engineering Institute through the undisclosed underground escape pipe according to the map given by Professor Bai, and met Professor Guo and the others.

Later, by chance, we stumbled into a hidden abandoned reference room on our way back and found these materials. "

Wu Ziyan rested his left finger on the surface of the lockbox, and continued to narrate, "On the way back, I found that I couldn't get rid of the pursuers. I even used the latest shielding detection equipment, but it was still useless. Until I cut off the connection with the temporary base. communication signal."

Jiang Cancan's throat was dry, and he asked softly as if he was worried about poking something, "Then...did you get rid of it?"

Wu Ziyan gave an affirmative answer, "I got rid of it."

The air in the carriage was stagnant, and several people understood that You Long was unable to get rid of the enemy, not because he was successfully tracked by the enemy, but because his location had been reported to the enemy by the people from the temporary base.

With a solemn expression, Jia Lan spoke first, "If I remember correctly, this time, You Long's actions were reported directly to my dad."

Jiang Mu on the side suddenly said, "Our communication signal?"

Jiang Cancan straightened his back, "No... isn't it?"

Ling Chen tapped the chair with his fingers, "Why are you nervous? On the cliff, I have already unilaterally cut off the communication signal."

Several people looked at Ling Chen, Jiang Cancan stuttered again, with a complicated expression, "Brother Chen, you were suspicious before?" Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Ling Chen's act of cutting off the signal before coming down from the cliff.

"Yeah." Ling Chen didn't say much, and met Wu Ziyan's gaze, "Can I see what's in the box?"

"Of course." Wu Ziyan opened the password box neatly with his left hand, revealing a pile of yellowed paper materials, scattered storage disks and readers in the box.Paper materials are old, but storage disks and readers are [-]% new.

"These things were all placed in a box with the words 'to be destroyed' written on them. I was about to take out a piece of waste paper and draw two strokes. I noticed the words on it inadvertently and found that the situation was not right."

Wu Ziyan took out a few sheets of paper and handed them to Ling Chen for him to read.

"I've heard that before I arrived at the temporary base, General Jia and Professor Ling Dingnan led a team to an abandoned test site. The purpose was to find information on chemical weapons, so as not to be snatched by the enemy. Later, Professor Ling Dingnan disappeared. Lian, you accepted this mission and rescued him.”

Jiang Cancan nodded, "Yes, after we found General Jia and the others, we went back to the ground first. Brother Chen and the others were much less lucky, and even encountered an explosion."

"That's right." Ling Chen took the papers and flipped through them, his expression condensed slightly, and after thinking for a second, he handed the papers to Jiang Mu, "You guys have a look too."

Jiang Cancan and Jialan felt dizzy when they saw the densely packed text, and Qiqi set their sights on Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu paused for a long time before making a sound, "The content of this document is to approve the number D5311 test site under the Academy of Engineering. After the test subjects are out of control, the erosive chemical weapon 'mustard gas' can be used to wipe out the test subjects. Document The confidentiality level is triple S, and there is a signature of the approver at the end."

Jiang Cancan was surprised, "Experimental product? Gene fusion again? But that abandoned test site belongs to the Academy of Engineering, hasn't it been abandoned for a long time?" He suddenly felt uneasy, his palms were sweating, and asked Jiang Mu , "Who signed it?"

Jiang Mu didn't speak.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Jiang Cancan's back.He suddenly didn't want to know the answer.

Noticing something was wrong, Jialan reached out to take the document and quickly flipped to the last page.

On the yellowed paper, behind the four words "handling opinion", "Approval" was written in a flying style, and in the lower right corner was a familiar name.

The fingers pinching the thin paper suddenly exerted force, and the knuckles turned blue and white.

Jiang Cancan found that he didn't speak, so he leaned over to look in fear. When he saw the signature in the lower right corner, his mind went blank, "No... no, how is it possible, absolutely not—"

"How can it be impossible." Jialan put the document on his lap, the shock in his brows and eyes changed from the shock at the beginning to calmness and tenacity.

Jiang Cancan looked at Jialan's clenched cheeks, and suddenly couldn't say anything.

Jialan's expression now is unfamiliar to him.But he knew that this was also Jialan, the only seedling of the Jia family that the old general held on his lap for meetings since he was a child, and taught her to read and write with the military briefing.

His mind was in a mess, Jiang Cancan didn't speak any more, his heart was as dull as the sky full of thunderstorm clouds in the afternoon, flustered and empty.

"It's indeed my dad's signature. When he signs, he always lifts the pen at the end of the last stroke. The extra bend is a standard thirty degrees." Jialan raised her eyes and asked Wu Ziyan calmly, "Is there any more?"

Wu Ziyan opened the storage disk and took out the reader from under the chair. Five seconds later, the screen lit up and the reading was successful.

"I suspect that someone should have secretly collected these materials and wanted to send them out through the underground escape pipe, but he failed. Maybe the situation was unfavorable at the time, so he had to hide all these materials in a box in the abandoned data room."

Wu Ziyan handed over the reader, Jialan took it, and looked down.

I don't know how many times I have read the information, Wu Ziyan said from memory, "There are a few things mentioned in it. According to the chronological order, the first thing is eight years ago. The inner ghost was sold, resulting in the loss of more than half of the second department, and the sacrifice of Commander Liang. The higher-ups want to use this as an excuse to abolish the second department. This proposal was made by a person named Huang Zhenzhong."

Jia Lan added, "I know this person, he is a close friend who was brought up by my dad along the way."

Wu Ziyan: "Yes. The name of the inner ghost is Jiang He, who was also mentioned by Huang Zhen."

Jialan has already seen the text description of this paragraph, she has no expression at all, but her chest is heaving violently, her fingers pinched the reader tightly.

Wu Ziyan continued, "The second thing is that three years ago, Commander Ling took over the task and led people to destroy the Silver Blade. At that time, Silver Blade had already made progress in gene fusion technology, and Commander Ling brought the information of this technology. return."

"Yes, but the materials brought back were not complete, because the people from Silver Blade started the destruction process at that time, and Xiao Mu forcibly terminated this process, but the data was still damaged. After I brought it back, I saw all the data destroyed with my own eyes. "

"Not destroyed." Wu Ziyan sighed, "According to the content on the reader, the proposal to destroy the Silver Blade was proposed by General Minor, and the decision was passed soon. But the real goal is the technology of Silver Blade's gene fusion. I speculate , due to the lack of information brought back at that time, there was no way to make a successful experimental product based on this, so it secretly formed an alliance with the holy order."

He continued self-consciously, "The third thing I found out was that I went to Zone D to support your team, because Fang Wenzhe was a traitor, and there was no one left in the team who was killed by the saint.

I checked Fang Wenzhe's resume, and found that he was recruited into Youlong, and a man named Tang Ming operated from it.And Tang Ming used to be Huang Zhenzhong's deputy, and has been promoted all the way since then. "

For a moment, the carriage was eerily quiet.

Jiang Cancan said in a hoarse voice, "That Fang Wenzhe said before he was executed that there was a person in the military region who had been in contact with him all the time. He was selected into Youlong, promoted, and even accepted the task of reinforcements in D area by chance. Arranged by people."

His fingertips suddenly felt cold, as if they were immersed in ice water.

Wu Ziyan: "The person Fang Wenzhe mentioned should be Tang Ming."

Jiang Cancan's expression was blank, he looked at Wu Ziyan, then at Ling Chen, his fingers were trembling, and he subconsciously clasped the edge of the seat tightly, "If these materials are true...but why is it so?"

No one could answer him.

Jia Lan stood up suddenly, looked directly at Ling Chen, "Give me 10 minutes."

After Ling Chen nodded, she returned the reader to Wu Ziyan and jumped out of the car by herself.

Ling Chen told Jiang Mu, "Go and have a look."

Jia Lan didn't go far, she found a tree to lean against, and looked at the place where Youlong camped not far or near.A Youlong member with a hanging arm recognized her and saluted from a distance.

Jia Lan subconsciously stood up straight and returned the salute, but when she put down the saluting hand, she froze in place.

I have this qualification... Do I return the gift?

Hearing familiar footsteps, Jialan leaned against the tree trunk again, without looking back, "Brother Chen asked you to come here?"

"Yeah." Jiang Mu is different from Jiang Cancan, he doesn't talk much, and after standing still beside Jialan, he doesn't make any more noise.

The wind in the forest whistled past the two of them, Jialan turned her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at Jiang Mu's calm expression, "Aren't you surprised? Or angry, shocked, puzzled, whatever you want."

"I'm surprised and puzzled." Jiang Mu replied seriously.

"I can't figure it out either." Jialan's eyes were blank for a moment. She bent down and pulled a grass and bit it in her mouth. It is neatly buttoned. Since he was ten years old, he has determined the path he will take in the future—just like grandpa, grandpa, and grandpa, he will join the army and continue the glory of the reduced family."

Jiang Mu nodded, "I know, and you too."

"Yes, I am the same. I have known my own way since I was a child - I will enter the army when I am old, and then accumulate military merits and promotions. When my grandfather retires, I will almost be a colonel or a brigadier general. When my father is old Now, I'm a general too."

She pursed her pale lips, "Xiaomu, do you know our family motto of reducing the family?" She ended softly, but when she spoke again, she was firm in every word, "I wish to bury my loyal bones in the green hills and sprinkle my blood on the mountains and rivers." .I learned to write my family motto before I learned to write my own name."

"So I don't understand why on earth my dad would do this."

"Do you believe in the authenticity of those materials?"

Jia Lan nodded, "I believe, from the time I saw the signature on that document, I knew that my cognition of the past twenty years can be overturned."

Jiang Mu could hear the uneasiness and helplessness in her tone, and reached out to pat her on the shoulder, "If you don't know, we can ask in person."

"That's right." Jia Lan forced a smile, "Brother, can you lend me your shoulder?"

"can."

Jialan turned sideways and buried her head, pressing her eyes on Jiang Mu's shoulder, silently.But it didn't take long for Jiang Mu to feel that the cloth on his shoulders was soaked.

In the car.

Wu Ziyan looked at the half-closed carriage door and smiled wryly, "Sorry, I did it on purpose. There are more tactful ways to reveal the truth, but I chose to be direct."

Jiang Cancan clenched his fists and stood up, "You—" He gritted his teeth and swallowed the words again, "Sorry."

"Don't be sorry, I do have dark thoughts." Wu Ziyan leaned against the wall of the carriage, his empty sleeves hanging down, he didn't have any obvious emotions, "I still remember that before I left the temporary base, I went to say goodbye to General Jia. He photographed Looking at my shoulder, he said that he would bring his brothers back alive.

I have been thinking over and over again in the past two days, how on earth did he say this sentence? "

With red eyes, Wu Ziyan turned his eyes away and stared at the sign of Youlong on the wall of the carriage, "When I led people back from the first area, I also agreed that I would pay the chef in the dining room to cook a few tables. The brothers all had a good time.

The results of it?A brother died right in front of me, the blood on his chest couldn't be pressed.He also said, I'm sorry Captain, I can't have a celebration banquet with everyone. "

Tears flowed down the rough skin, Wu Ziyan's eyes were red, and he slammed his left hand on the seat,

"Human life, in the eyes of those people, what is it? Huh?"

At this time, the door of the rear compartment was opened, and Guo Xian stood on the ground and said loudly, "The detection equipment has issued an alarm! Unidentified creatures are coming!"

Wu Ziyan quickly explained to Ling Chen, "The detection equipment was temporarily tinkered with by a few professors on the road, and it is very useful. If it shows an unknown creature, it is probably a gene fusion life form."

Ling Chen understood, and asked Guo Xian, "How many?"

"There are almost fifty of them! I can't tell the specifics."

Ling Chen asked Wu Ziyan again, "How much more can You Long do?"

Wu Ziyan quickly ran through the hands in his mind, "Add me, seven."

"Get rid of yourself, stay here to appease people, and assign the other six to me." Seeing what Wu Ziyan wanted to say, Ling Chen said coldly, "Any objections? If you have any objections, hold back and obey orders!"

Wu Ziyan had no choice but to close his heels together with a "slap", "Yes, Commander Ling!"

Seven minutes later, eleven people assembled and quickly occupied a slope.Ling Chen's expression was stern, and the aura around him was quite frightening, and the people wandering the dragon did not dare to approach him at all.

Helping Ye Xiao zip up the zipper of his combat uniform and adjust the scope, seeing him looking at him worriedly, Ling Chen calmed down, and scratched Ye Xiao's nose with his fingers, "Worried about me?"

"Yeah." Ye Xiao held Ling Chen's hand without a knife, "I will help you whatever you want."

Ling Chen's eyes softened, he held Ye Xiao's hand with his fingers interlocked, and rubbed his palm with his thumb, "Okay."

After choosing the location, Ling Chen set up the gun, and asked Jialan in a normal tone, "Can you hold it?"

Jialan had a cold face, instead of a smile, there was more hostility, "I can hold on."

She asked Ling Chen, "Brother Chen, I have performed so many missions in a row, and I have not yet settled my military achievements. If I do, how much will my rank be promoted?"

"You are now a major, and you should be able to be promoted to lieutenant colonel if you complete your military achievements. If you do two more major tasks, the colonel will definitely be able to reach the edge."

Jialan gave a "hmm", lowered her head and touched the gun in her hand, and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask."

Ling Chen handed her the magazine, "OK."

At this time, Ye Xiao, who had been standing quietly by the side, suddenly grabbed the gun in Ling Chen's hand, and there was a "bang" sound, and the bullet shot towards the dense tree branches in the distance, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. .

There are enemies.

Ye Xiao returned the gun to Ling Chen, and looked around vigilantly, "It's already here."

Jiang Cancan beeped softly, "Isn't this too good to hide? Before the kid started, Master Can, I didn't notice any movement!"

Just as Ye Xiao expected, but ten seconds later, one of You Long's team members was ambushed - the enemy jumped down from the tree silently, with sharp claws reaching for the throat.Ling Chen's hand speed was unbelievable again, and within a breath, the bullet accurately shot into the enemy's skull, headshot with one shot.
