third rebirth

When Garland entered through the open car door, there were only weight-loss hills and two guards inside.There was a strong smell of medicine in the carriage, and the light was a bit dim. Jialan stood with the backlight, looking at the old man lying on the makeshift hospital bed, his nose was sore.

Only then did she realize that her grandfather was 70 years old, he was really old, his hair was white, and he was thinner. He was no longer the grandfather who carried her on his shoulders and rode a horse.

"Is it Jialan?"

"Yeah." Realizing that she was speaking in a nasal voice, Jia Lan cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Yeah, Grandpa, it's me."

Weight Loss Shan opened his eyes and coughed twice, sat up with the support of the guards, and leaned against the wall of the carriage.He looked at Jialan, and the majesty and ferocity accumulated between his brows for decades turned into a smile, "The hair has grown a little."

Jialan endured and endured, but she still couldn't hold back, her eyes were sour, and tears flowed down her cheeks.She sniffled, but didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Weight Loss Shan laughed, "Oh, why is our little princess crying? Grandpa thinks about it, seven or eight years old, why don't you swear you will never cry?"

Jialan wiped her face with her palm, and said in a sour voice, "I'm not crying."

"Okay, okay, grandpa got it wrong." Weight Loss Shan beckoned, "Come, come and sit."

Jialan went over as promised, and took Weight Loss Shan's skinny hand.

Weight Loss Shan coughed twice more, stared at Jialan's eyebrows for a while, and said in a soft tone, "Your father doesn't want the two of us anymore, and he doesn't want Jiajia either."

He seemed to have aged several years overnight, and under the majesty wrapped in military uniform all year round, he finally showed the fatigue that an old man would have.

Weight Loss Shan looked at Jia Lan kindly, without extra tact or obliqueness, "I'm old, I won't live long, and when I leave, you will be the only one left in the Jia family."

Jialan said in a hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter if I'm left alone, I can hold on."

"Yeah." Weight Loss Shan raised his hand and touched her crotch, with guilt in his eyes, "Other little girls, which one didn't grow up held in the palm of your hand? Only us Jialan, who never played when we were young I have never played with dolls, but I have never played house. My first toy is a replica gun. The game I often play is to seize the high ground with a group of leather boys. I have never worn beautiful high-heeled shoes, and I have never combed beautiful braids. I grew up without wearing a pink skirt."

Shaking her head, Jialan smiled at Weight Loss Mountain while crying, "I don't feel any regrets, it's good to grow up like this, really."

Weight Loss Shan wiped her tears with his rough fingertips, "Before I came out of the military area, I found out that I had a lung problem, and I didn't tell anyone."

The back was so cold that it penetrated into the bone marrow, and Jialan nodded with red eyes——she understood that at least until she stood up, the mountain of weight loss could not fall, and even if she was seriously ill, she had to hide it.

"At that time, there was an undercurrent in the military region, and it was difficult to tell whether it was loyal or traitorous. Later, Professor Bai submitted a report on the expansion of D area, and it was like a boulder thrown into a lake. In an instant, countless thoughts of countless people came alive. .

The water became more and more muddy. Later, I insisted that you enter the D area and bring it back to the core of the area for research, thinking that there is still hope in this world after all.

But I'm really old, knowing that Yulong's team that entered Area D didn't save anyone, and I realized that before I realized it, the hearts of the people around me had changed. "

Jia Lan has calmed down, as if he was a child again, thinking along the narrative of Weight Loss Mountain, "Then you decided to leave the military area?"

"Yes. I realized that the military region is already full of serious illnesses, so I want to break through and then stand up." Weight Loss Shan coughed a few times, and continued, "It happened that your father proposed a similar idea at that time, and I agreed after consideration ——Establish a new base and complete the two most urgent things at the moment: stop the expansion of Area D and continue the necessary scientific research, so there is a defection and a temporary base."

"It's just that I didn't expect my son to be so promising."

Speaking of this, the blue blood vessels on the side of the weight loss mountain's neck swelled, he coughed several times, tightly grasped Jialan's hand, his throat trembled, but he couldn't say the complete words.

Outside the carriage, Bai Hengyun was talking to Ling Chen.

"Before you left, you reminded me that there might be a problem with Jiayun. So after the Cheetahs were sent out of the base and a group of reserve teams were also sent out one after another, Lao Ling and I paid more attention. After that, Jiayun arranged For a mission, the second team was also sent out, and all contact with the outside world was cut off on the grounds of protecting the safety of the temporary base. At that time, Lao Ling and I felt that the situation was really bad."

Ling Dingnan nodded, "We had a brief meeting in the scientific research room, discussed it, and finally decided that if the situation is not good, we will abandon the temporary base. Anyway, running once is running, and running twice is also running. Everyone is familiar with the process. .”

"That's right," Bai Hengyun said with a smile, "Besides, the defense system of the temporary base was built by us. It is not a sensible approach to use what we built to lock us in. It may also be because the reduction of the cloud is fundamental. I never thought we'd leave."

She sighed, "But Jiayun is really like an extremely rational lunatic."

Ling Chen asked doubts, "So this time, the temporary base was hurriedly closed, why?"

"It's very simple. Jianyun lured the Holy Order's wolves into the house. He wanted to get the other party's gene fusion technology, and he did not hesitate to use power as bait. Unexpectedly, before Jianyun had time to control the gene fusion technology and fight against the Holy Order, The Holy Tribunal has already eroded the general area step by step, and will attack him soon, such a situation forces Jiayun to find an effective solution."

Ling Chen frowned, "Neither the gene fusion technology nor the regional core cloud reduction will let go, so he chose to completely control the regional core in the shortest possible time. With this power, no one can be his enemy?"

"It's almost like this." Bai Hengyun smiled sarcastically, "I don't know if he will regret it now. Before that, he personally introduced the power of the Holy Tribunal into the military area, and opened the door to fight for power and mutual rivalry."

"I won't regret it." Ling Chen affirmed, and as he spoke, he went to the car to get the reader, and handed it to Bai Hengyun and Ling Dingnan, "This is the reason why Youlong was almost wiped out."

The reading speed of both of them was very fast, and it didn't take long before they finished reading the materials.Ling Dingnan turned off the reader, "At such an early time, he has been secretly conducting research on gene fusion. What is his purpose?"

Ling Chen shook his head, "Including Jialan, we don't know much about it."

Bai Hengyun stared at the grass tips on the ground for a while, then put away the reader, "I'll take you to see the old general first."

After driving a long distance, the car finally stopped at Mayfly's base. After getting out of the car, Weight Loss Mountain was quickly sent to the medical room.

Lying on the hospital bed, Weight Loss Shan felt a little helpless, "I'm not going to die—"

"Don't talk." Jialan had a cold face, with a terrifying posture that could freeze thousands of miles in one breath, and said forcefully, "I will take care of the things you worry about. What you have to do now is to get medical treatment and rest. .”

The eye sockets were wet again, Jia Lan stood upright like a javelin, looked at the old man on the hospital bed, and slowed down his tone, "You haven't seen me as a general yet, so don't just say I'm immortal."

Hearing Jialan's tone, Weight Loss Shan relaxed, and his frowning brows also loosened. He lay down on his back slowly, with his hands folded on his abdomen, "Okay, okay, our future little general, you can go about your business with peace of mind."

Jialan rolled her eyes and complained, "Please don't add small characters in front of the title, it's neither fish nor fowl."

Waving his hand, Weight Loss Shan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you can go, the future general."

Jia Lan gave a casual military salute, turned around and left the ward.

When she reached the corner of the stairs, Jia Lan saw that there was no one around, so she ducked in and hid, laying on the wall and crying for a while, then stood up straight again, and wiped off the marks on her face.

There are still many things waiting for her.

Since Mayfly's base is too small to accommodate people from District Five, Ling Chen decided to set up a camp outside the base.Professor Lu and Professor Lei also made a big deal of a new invisible camouflage device. As long as it is turned on, even if the new radar scans, it will only show a forest on the instrument.

After the people settled down, Ling Chen was even more busy.Arranging the wounded, counting the number of survivors, recording the victims, reorganizing the team, and consolidating supplies... In such a huge mayfly base, except for Weight Loss Mountain, he has the highest title, and all the clueless things are sent to him at once.

After sending the quartermaster and several captains out, Ling Chen sat back on the chair and raised his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows.He hadn't slept much for several days in a row, and he was so irritable that he wanted to get angry every minute, but there was indeed a mess underneath, the old general's wound was infected, and his lung condition was getting worse. He was too embarrassed to take these trivial matters Trouble, I can only carry it by myself, and then send Jialan Jiangmu Wu Ziyan and the others around.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ling Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his eyes, and saw that the remaining anger was gone.He smiled, "Xiao Mao Mao?"

Ye Xiao grabbed the long knife, walked briskly in front of Ling Chen, bent down, and took a closer look, "Captain, you have dark circles under your eyes."

Ling Chen's heart skipped a beat, "Is the captain still handsome now?"

Ye Xiao replied seriously, "Handsome."

Ling Chen regained his composure again, he hugged him in his arms, put the tip of his nose to the side of Ye Xiao's neck, took a deep breath, satisfied, "I think you're going crazy."

Ye Xiao leaned into his arms without moving, let him hold her obediently, and said softly, "I miss the captain very much too."

This sentence was so accurate, Ling Chen felt that the softest part of his heart had been pricked, and there was a sharp pain.He kissed Ye Xiao's earlobe, "Sorry, I haven't been with you much these days."

Ye Xiao shook his head, "I didn't accompany you much either."

"It seems to be like this." Ling Chen knew that he had been with Mayfly's people these days, thought for a while, and asked, "How is the situation? Are you okay?"

"Not good." Ye Xiao's voice faded, "This morning, Ah Jiu and I sent Nianqi and Nianba away together."

Ling Chen hugged him tighter.

"Now there are only five people left in Mayfly, Ah Jiu, Nian Yi, Da Xia, A Que, and Nian Wu." He turned around, wrapped his hands around Ling Chen's neck, rested his chin on Ling Chen's shoulder, and subconsciously rubbed against Ling Chen's neck. Rubbing, said in a low voice, "I'm a little sad."

Ling Chen patted him on the back like coaxing a child.

Slowing down, Ye Xiao remembered the people he saw outside the office door, and they looked familiar, "Captain, are the quartermasters and the others who came to the office just now?"

For convenience, I temporarily found a room from Mayfly's base two days ago, and used it as Ling Chen's office. In the past few days, the door handle was about to be broken.

"Yes, I came here specifically to tell me that the medicine won't last long, and the nutrients are enough, but bullets and other things are also in short supply. It's still August and September, and the temperature hasn't dropped. When the temperature cools down, there will be a shortage of clothes."

Ye Xiao also became worried, "Then what should I do?"

Ling Chen kissed his locked brow, his bandit face was clearly revealed, "Captain is going to take someone to rob him, do you want to go together?"

"Together!"

"Well, good job."
