32 days

It wasn't until the pickup truck drove to the lush green southern suburbs that Yi Alan organized his words: "Where are we going? Shouldn't we go to the airport?"

Zhou Yan'an said, "Go and confirm a place first."

Soon Zhou Yanan parked the car in front of a group of low-rise buildings.At first glance, this place looks like a sanatorium, but without the beautiful mountains and rivers of the sanatorium, the green here is mostly a kind of desolate and lush without care.

Yi Alan looked carefully at the words on the building: Nursing Center for Vegetative People.

Zhou Yanan parked the car at the door, unfastened his seat belt and said, "Wait for a few minutes, I'll go in and have a look."

"it is good."

The gate of the courtyard was locked, Zhou Yanan stepped on the railing and turned over directly, walking towards a long white building that looked like a ward.The scene inside can be seen clearly from the window. The beds are all empty, and the complete clothes can be seen from the quilt corner.

Zhou Yanan returned: "The patients inside also disappeared like most people."

This vegetative care center is located in the suburbs where the land is relatively cheap. It does not take the high-end recuperation route, but only provides basic care, and does not provide large-scale first aid when the patient stops beating, and allows him to die naturally, so the charges are not high.For family members who are dragged down by illness, this is a place where they are not so condemned by conscience and store their last thoughts.They have been unable to afford the cost of continued long-term treatment in the hospital, and decided to return to their own lives and send their relatives who have fallen into a vegetative state here to maintain their last lives, which is considered a more dignified death.

Yi Alan said, "Does this mean that the vegetable is still alive?"

Zhou Yan'an said: "From a medical point of view, a vegetative person is indeed alive and not dead."

"I know." Yi Alan said, "I mean...they are recognized by this world that they are still alive, just like us."

Those who have sent their loved ones here might take comfort in knowing this: Life is not the flesh/body whose EEG is scattered and fluctuating but has become unconscious, but rejected by the 32nd yet recognized as life a grand concept.

"Your idea is very romantic." Zhou Yanan turned her head and smiled at him, turning the car around to the military airport, "According to a biologist in the office's guess, he thinks that the difference between the 32nd and the normal world, except for our group It is difficult for some people to explain, but it is actually based on the nervous system. That is to say, all creatures with a nervous system have disappeared. So buildings and plants are still there, and the corpses of the nervous system are completely dead, single-celled bacteria are there, and viruses In vegetative people, a small part of the nervous system, such as the brain stem, is still alive, so they are rejected."

"It seems quite reasonable." Yi Alan thought of the ants he couldn't find anywhere, and ants also have a nervous system.

"That's all the information we can get at the moment. I hope that Meng Qi's joining can help us learn the truth about the 32nd sooner."

The pickup quickly passed through the streets of Nanlin City, which Yi Alan was very familiar with, and arrived at the military airport.Yi Alan saw the two-seater fighter jet named Swift 10, which was gray-black in color and had a refined fuselage line. It was crawling at the airport like a swift with its wings spread, and it was about to take off. Can also shuttle freely.

Zhou Yan'an took a set of flight suits for Yi Alan to change into, while he himself went to routinely check the fuel level and oxygen of the fighter jets.

"Handsome." Zhou Yan'an found an opportunity to praise back.

Yi Alan asked, "How handsome is he?"

Zhou Yan'an actually thought about it seriously for a while: "Among the people I know, count them among the best."

Yi Alan smiled: "Really?"

Zhou Yan'an found a special ladder for fighter jets and pushed it over, stood right next to Swift 10, and said, "Of course it's true."

Yi Alan said: "You used to have so many comrades-in-arms, you should have a lot of handsome guys."

"They are different from you." Zhou Yan'an turned around and looked at Yi Alan's face carefully, "You are good-looking, and every part is beautiful."

Yi Alan couldn't help feeling a little hot in his ears, and buried himself in climbing the ladder.This ladder is almost as smooth as ordinary stairs, and the injured foot is not a big hindrance. Yi Alan quickly climbed to the cabin, opened the cabin door, and sat on the back seat.

Zhou Yanan moved the ladder to the side where it was out of the way, took out a suction cup glove, sucked it on the front bulkhead of the fighter jet, and climbed up like a gecko.

This is the inconvenience of too few human beings on the 32nd. There is no ground crew to help the pilot move the ladder and unload the power supply. Everything has to be solved by Zhou Yan'an alone.

Yi Alan watched Zhou Yan'an climb up to the cockpit vigorously within a few seconds. After being amazed, she couldn't help asking: "Do you think you are handsome?"

Zhou Yan'an smiled: "It's okay, it's nothing without you."

Yi Alan became embarrassed: "Men don't seem to need to be white."

"But you look very white." Zhou Yan'an put on a helmet and sunglasses, turned around to check whether Yi Alan's safety equipment was on, and ordered: "I only fly at medium and low altitudes, but you'd better wear an oxygen mask. Come on, I'm afraid you will be a little uncomfortable at first."

"Oh, okay." Yi Alan hurriedly put on the mask, ignoring Xiaolu's rushing thoughts.

Zhou Yan'an turned on various systems one by one, and after a rather complicated operation, the fighter plane began to taxi on the runway.Following Zhou Yan'an's "ready to take off", he pulled the control lever, and the fighter jet flew towards the blue sky with a huge roar.

Yi Alan did feel a little weightlessness and a slight overload brought by fast flight, but it was not uncomfortable, and he was even more excited at this moment.He saw the ground shrinking rapidly, and he sailed into the wispy clouds and into the wide and free sky. The whole Nanlin City was like a mini city sandbox in a war board game, easily arousing his long-lost childlike innocence.

When he was young, he also longed to play confrontational games with his companions, imitating the sound of machine guns and fighter jets in his mouth, and using paper airplanes to carry the blood in the boy's bones, but since his father's death throughout his childhood, he stayed away from his friends. Playing programming and assembling models alone in the house is a lonely game that only belongs to one person.

Those lovely cities, slender roads, rolling hills and fields are unfolded like a flowing painting, melting into a puddle of plausible paint behind them, and the scenery in front rushes in impatiently.

The sense of flow like a river washes away the spirit of flying, and the roar of the rumbling engine is like the breathing of a tiger deep in the heart.

Yi Alan forgot the impenetrable surveillance, suspicion, and restricted oppression and isolation that he never got rid of in reality, and also forgot the cruel truth behind his actions. Only the freedom at this moment, away from The land where the flesh/body is bound, and the silent mountains and rivers without human beings can be viewed at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, which is infinitely close to eternity.

It can also be faster.However, Zhou Yanan considered that Yi Alan had not received professional pilot training, and even with a flight suit decompression, his physical fitness might not be able to keep up, so he controlled the speed and altitude within a low range.Anyway, there were no birds on the 32nd, and flying at low and medium altitudes reduced a lot of threats and was very safe.

"How do you feel?" Zhou Yanan asked from the front.

"Very good!" Yi Alan shouted loudly, "Excellent!"

Zhou Yan'an couldn't help smiling when he heard the angry voice, and holding the joystick, the fighter plane suddenly rose vertically, and then turned a 360-degree somersault in the air, and the earth became a star above their heads.

"Ahhh!" Yi Alan yelled, her heart beating fast, and only after hearing Zhou Yan'an's laughter did she realize that it was deliberately teasing him, and she leaned on the seat panting and laughing heartily.

If there is only 32 days, there is no reality, and it may not be a good thing.Yi Alan thought.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Hongshan Military Port Airport and fell back to the ground.

Zhou Yan'an first jumped off the fighter plane with the help of suction cup gloves, and then pushed the ladder at the airport to let Yi Alan walk down. This gave Yi Alan the illusion of being greeted, and he always wanted to laugh when he got off the ladder.

Zhou Yanan carried a gun habitually, just in case.Yi Alan walked beside him, stepped into the silent military port, as simple as General Lin said, raised his foot, and stepped in.

Then they went to Building No. 1 to get a computer and logged into the LAN of Jinjun Port.This matter is actually quite simple now. Yi Alan dismantled the system defense step by step according to the process he had practiced many times. During the process, he only needed to spend time waiting for the progress bar on the computer screen to be full, and then "exposed" the secrets. The information and data were completely destroyed, and the holed computer room was blown into ruins.

He and Zhou Yan'an even had a relatively hearty self-heating lunch in their free time.

Before leaving, Zhou Yan'an flew a fighter plane and bombed the military port. Yi Alan lay on the porthole and watched intently.

When the fighter plane turned around and headed inland, Yi Alan pointed to a corner of the military port: "It's still intact."

Zhou Yanan said: "That's the navy's aviation warehouse. There are several fighter jets in it, as well as aviation fuel and weapons, which are kept for spare."

"Oh." Yi Alan nodded, and asked after a while, "Will there be a war? I mean within 32 days."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"But we have only you."

"The other party has a high probability of only one or two."

Yi Alan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Swift 10 roared over the lush hills, headed northwest, and within half an hour of flying, it would arrive at an army base, land, and repeat the clearing process.When it was dark on September 9, Yi Alan and Zhou Yanan had already completed the task of clearing a military port, two small army bases, and a medium-sized army base. Most of the time was actually spent on conquering the security system.

That night, they pitched two tents to rest at the airport of the last army base that was cleared today.

Military bases are generally located in remote places, and the starry sky at night is quite obvious, low and dense, and they sleep at the bottom of the river of stars.

The next day, they took off again against the sunrise, and the rising sun made the clouds shine brightly, as if they were sailing on a golden river.

Just the starry sky and the sunrise made Yi Alan feel very comforted. He suddenly thought of a poem: "I don't know what to forgive, but I sincerely feel that everything in the world can be forgiven."

Zhou Yan'an heard it and just smiled.He has noticed the romance and sensibility of the partner behind him, so he is worried about him. Yi Alan will encounter many things, which are the backside of romance, the natural enemy of sensibility, and the revealing of all evil.

Their mission today is a small army base, a medium-sized army base, and an air force weapons and equipment research and development center.

After solving the first two, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

When flying over the Qingyun Mountains and about to arrive at the R&D center, Zhou Yanan said, "We should rest at the R&D center tonight."

"It's still early." Yi Alan said, "I feel that the task is not very tight."

Zhou Yan'an smiled: "Maybe it's because this is your first mission, and they are afraid that you won't be able to adapt, so they arranged less."

"That is to say, it won't be so easy in the future?"

Zhou Yan'an was about to answer when he was interrupted by a rapid radar alarm. His expression changed and he immediately went to look at the radar monitor.

Yi Alan didn't know what happened, but the alarm sound of this frequency made people subconsciously uneasy.

The author has something to say:

"I don't know what to forgive, but I sincerely feel that everything in the world can be forgiven." From Mu Xin's "Jackson Heights".
