16 years

Shao Xuefan, 77 years old, a well-known scholar in bioengineering, has lived abroad all year round, living a stable and dull life.

He is obsessed with scientific research and rarely mentions private matters in public. He only accidentally revealed in an interview with the media a few years ago that his offspring are not easy, and he only had children in middle age.

"...Because he was born in late autumn, he was named Shao Qiu." Shao Qiu said.

Sure enough, Liu Ruosong thought.

"From a biological point of view, he is indeed my father." Shao Qiu threw another twig into the fire with a calm face, and said casually: "But it's limited to this."

Holding the slightly hot cup, Liu Ruosong didn't know what to say for a moment.

Before Shao Xuefan died, he mentioned Shao Qiu's name. At that time, Fu Yan was stunned for a moment, and Liu Ruosong was surprised at that time, but there were too many things later, so he forgot to ask for a moment.

Thinking about it now, Fu Yan probably guessed something.

"Hmm..." Liu Ruosong licked his lips and said dryly, "My condolences."

"You're welcome, Brother Liu." Shao Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, I'm not sad at all."

There was a bit of anger in his words, his tone was sharp and his attitude was indifferent, Liu Ruosong could tell that the anger was not aimed at himself, so he lowered his head and took a sip of hot water, thinking to himself what Shao Xuefan did to abandon his wife and son to make it happen Such a big and good son doesn't want to recognize him.

It's just that he didn't ask because of politeness, Shao Qiu's teammates didn't care so much.He Tang elbowed Shao Qiu, and said, "I haven't heard you say it before—your family relationship column only includes your mother, and we always thought you were a single parent."

"It doesn't matter." Shao Qiu patted the ash on his hands, and said, "It doesn't matter if he is engaged in his scientific research, if he has me or not. He doesn't lack a son, and I don't lack a father."

He didn't seem to want to say much, so he looked around on his own, and changed the subject: "Where's the little rabbit?"

Liu Ruosong didn't know what the conflict between Shao Xuefan and Shao Qiu was, but just looking at the fact that even Fu Yan didn't know about their father-son relationship, it could be seen that Shao Qiu's affection for Shao Xuefan was obviously close to negative.

Although Shao Xuefan mentioned his guilt towards the other party before his death, but Liu Ruosong stood in the position of a stranger, and it was difficult to say this "last word" to him.

The hurt cannot be wiped away, and the guilt is just a spark of conscience, which is not enough to illuminate a person who has been discredited for many years.

So Liu Ruosong hesitated for a moment, temporarily swallowed that sentence, and told Shao Qiu after preparations depending on the situation.

"Xiaotu went around to find the source of the signal." He Tang said, glanced at his watch, and said, "I will come back to gather in 10 minutes."

Liu Ruosong took another sip of water slowly, feeling that the code name style of their Sharp Knife Flying Team was too up and down—before He Tang instructed him to go back to the temporary camp to find "Little Rabbit" to bandage the wound. , there were only Yao Tu and another fair-skinned young boy here in the temporary camp, and he went towards the latter without any hesitation, until Yao Tu slapped him on the shoulder with a dark face from behind, and he didn't realize it, "Xiaotu "My son" is this tough guy who is five big and three thick, and that boy is just their guide temporarily seconded from the local area.

"...Your criteria for choosing a name is too abstract." At that time, Liu Ruosong complained with a grim face.

"This is fate." He Feng Shi ran past him, picked out a one-meter-square suitcase from the back seat of the wide-open car door, and added gloatingly: "Because the code name is decided by lottery, whoever makes it He has won the hidden prize."

But "Little Rabbit"'s temper and body are obviously two extremes. He is very careful. Although he looks like a vanguard, he miraculously takes on logistics and other tasks.Although he was swearing and fighting with others, but the action of bandaging the wound was light and neat.

Liu Ruosong's ankle was sprained, and it took him less than two seconds to reposition him - Liu Ruosong didn't even have time to feel the pain at the moment he did it.

It can be seen from this that Fu Yan's team is full of strange people, Liu Ruosong thought.

The summer night was short and fast, Liu Ruosong drank a cup of hot water, and the sky was already bright.

But he still felt cold inexplicably. He didn't know if it was the sequelae of falling to the head. He raised his hand and touched his forehead. Through the thick gauze, he couldn't feel whether he had a fever or not.

"Before I parted from Brother Fu, I heard him talk about the mission." Liu Ruosong said, "Shouldn't you go to Pengcheng to pick him up?"

As soon as he brought up the business, several people became more serious, they exchanged a glance with each other, and finally Shao Qiu came out to set an example.

"It was originally like this." Shao Qiu said: "But when we received the news that the train was overturned, we came here temporarily."

Shao Qiu didn't mention the train, Liu Ruosong had almost forced himself to forget about it, now when he mentions it suddenly, the "half person" left in the explosion appeared in his mind almost reflexively.

"Then on their side..." Liu Ruosong licked his lips and said, "Are there any survivors?"

"The local military region also sent people to rescue them." He Tang said: "They will do their best."

He Tang didn't give a clear answer, but Liu Ruosong still breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for us, we are actually here to protect the blood samples." He Tang looked at him and said softly: "We found the accident scene according to the location, but we didn't find any broken blood samples at the scene. Luckily Yes, we later found a wounded person who was still awake at the zombie, and that person happened to be the guard who escorted you to the car before, so he told us about you. Only then did we know that you were the person who escorted the blood sample."

"So you came here to find me on purpose?" Liu Ruosong said.

"It can be said that." He Tang said: "In addition to the blood sample, we also have to protect the family members for the captain."

Liu Ruosong smiled upon hearing this, and accepted her kind joke.

"Here is the blood sample." Liu Ruosong said as he fished out the tattered backpack at his feet, the zipper was stuck in half, so Liu Ruosong roughly tore open the zipper, reached in and took out two blood collection bottles.

The two bottles were wrapped in heavy fabric, and there was no damage except that the bottle body was slightly deflated. Liu Ruosong looked at it and handed it to Shao Qiu.

"That's it." Liu Ruosong said, "What are you going to do next?"

Shao Qiu looked at the two bottles against the sun, and saw nothing but the word "weird", so he shook his head, and put the things back into the cloth bag as they were.

But this time he didn't return the things to Liu Ruosong, but ordered Qu Ziming to get out of the car a small refrigerator and put the two tubes of blood samples in it.

"The order from above is for us to allocate manpower to escort you and the blood sample back to Yancheng." Shao Qiu said: "The rest will continue to support the captain according to the original route."

Liu Ruosong's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Must I be escorted? Or escort the blood sample."

"Actually, they are escorting blood samples." He Tang scratched his face and said, "But Brother Liu, don't worry, we will also guarantee your safety. The drive back to Yancheng from here is very fast, at most nine—"

"That's good." Liu Ruosong pushed the cooler out and said quickly, "I apply to go to Pengcheng together."

"Nine hours...huh?"

"I won't hold back." Liu Ruosong said, "I may not be as skilled as you guys, but I have a lot of experience in outdoor survival, so I can protect myself. The lowest static score in shooting is 9.3, and the dynamic score is 8.5... Mainly, I don't feel at ease. delay."

He spoke of his selfishness frankly and confidently, and the people across from him were stunned for a while, thinking that the captain himself has a stupid temper, how can he find such a sweet partner.

"But no." He Tang said regretfully, "I understand your feelings, Brother Liu, but you are an ordinary citizen, we can't take you to perform missions in dangerous areas - the captain himself would not agree."

"You wait for him in Yancheng." Qu Ziming also comforted him, saying: "The captain will be back soon."

Liu Ruosong frowned, and was about to fight for a few more words, when he heard the mobile phone on the back seat of the car suddenly ring.Shao Qiu made a gesture of calmness and calmness, then took a long leg, passed in front of everyone, and leaned into the carriage to answer the phone.

"Hello." Shao Qiu paused, then stood up straight, and called out to the captain.

Liu Ruosong subconsciously looked at him, the phone line in Shao Qiu's hand was straight, and he lowered his head slightly, listening carefully to the movement on the phone.

I don't know what Fu Yan is talking about, Shao Qiu just listens most of the time, and says a few sure words like "um" and "yes" from time to time.

After about two or three minutes, Shao Qiu turned his head and smiled, covering the receiver and jokingly asking: "Brother Liu, what kind of Gu did you put on the captain?"

Liu Ruosong raised a question mark, not knowing where his words came from.Shao Qiu didn't explain, just shook the receiver in his hand with a smile, and said with emotion: "I understand, this is the tacit understanding between old couples."

As he spoke, he handed the receiver in Liu Ruosong's direction, Liu Ruosong took a few steps knowingly, and answered the phone.

Just as he put the receiver to his ear, before he could speak, he heard Fu Yan hurriedly ask: "Are you okay?"

Through the mobile signal box, Fu Yan's voice sounded slightly distorted. Liu Ruosong's heart moved, and he turned his back and asked with a smile, "How do you know it's me?"

"Listen to the sound of breathing." Fu Yan finished speaking as expected, and then asked again: "The evacuation vehicle overturned, are you injured?"

"A little bit, I sprained my ankle." Liu Ruosong said lightly, "I'm fine with everything else."

Liu Ruosong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the phone call.

"What about you?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"I'm fine." Fu Yan replied quickly: "But there is something that I may need your help—work hard."

Liu Ruosong was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What?"

"Fang Sining called just now and reported new information—" Fu Yan's voice paused for two seconds, and then he said: "Shao Xuefan does have something in his place for safekeeping. It is said that it is a core The research documents are very confidential, and Fang Sining has never read them himself, but just kept the secret key for him."

"Research what?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"I don't know." Fu Yan said, "It was Shao Xuefan's research project when he was abroad. I don't know if he brought it back privately."

Liu Ruosong frowned.

"I shouldn't be looking for you for this matter." Fu Yan's voice was still calm, but Liu Ruosong could still hear a subtle apology: "But I can't find any other reliable people at the moment, so I can only ask you... ...I plan to get this research document after receiving Fang Sining, if your injury is not serious, can you join me with Shao Qiu and the others."

"I need a credible person to review this document," Fu Yan said.
