Affected by the strong cold air that night, there was rainfall across the country-Hu Bugui, strictly speaking, it was sleet. It has entered winter, and the temperature at night is very low. For those outside, the arrival of this rain is even worse.
Hu Bugui was wrapped in a raincoat, feeling his face was icy cold. He walked hard in the bitter wind and rain, and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose made it even more uncomfortable. Even with gloves on, his fingers were numb from the cold. He had been walking alone in the area for three hours, and even in his raincoat, he was soaked.
This place they named "Area No. 1" is very remote, far away from the city, and it is still a plain area. The reserve personnel are afraid of being exposed, so they dare not get too close, so they can only let him ride a car full of mud splashed by himself. The broken car trekking long distances.
It wasn't until he heard a soft sound and received a request for contact from the headquarters that Hu Bugui stopped, took off his gloves, breathed into his hands, rubbed them, took off his glasses, and roughly wiped them with his fingers. After a while, he stood vigilantly on the spot for a while, without any abnormal movement, and then looked down at the energy indicator on his wrist, and after confirming that there was no abnormal energy reaction, he got off the bicycle, pressed the temple of his glasses, and turned to the Headquarters, for the sake of caution, he still didn't make a sound, just brushed the messy hair on his forehead, and scratched his fingernails on the other temple three times - this was the signal they had agreed in advance.
Xu Ruchong immediately reported: "Captain Hu, your current location is basically in the center of the suspected area one, don't move any more, it seems that there is no suspicious phenomenon at present, the detector on your body has detected that you are 500 meters away from three o'clock. Here, there is an energy coordinate device, you should go back the same way immediately, be careful not to disturb it, there is probably an alarm system on the energy coordinate device—I can basically confirm that it is that thing that is interfering with the signal sent back by your friend. "
Hu Bugui nodded, turned the front of the bicycle, and Xu Ruchong continued to report: "During your investigation, Area 7 can basically be ruled out through technical means—but I still think it's too risky for you..."
Hu Bugui turned over and got on the bike, trembling but unabated, he said, "Shut up."
Xu Ruchong paused, and suddenly said solemnly: "Captain Hu, something is wrong with this, do you know what that energy coordinate device is?"
Hu Bugui didn't say anything, and waited for him to continue. Xu Ruchong pushed his exaggerated big glasses and frowned: "This is a new type of anti-tracking signal jammer. When your friend's signal was first transmitted, because These jammers, my receiver shows at least 40 or 50 possible points, all over the world, and it took three days to rule out some of them, leaving these seven hardest bones. For example, they are Like a proxy server on the Internet, it's far more complicated than that, but it's something amazing."
Hu Bugui paused for a moment—Xu Ruchong was used to being unreliable, he always thought highly of himself, and his thinking was even more unconstrained, and it was rare to hear the word "terrific" from his mouth: "What's going on?"
"This is for our country's military, and it hasn't been made public yet. In fact, there is one in the Zero Team, which was signed and approved by Xiongtou half a month ago. I know this because I am also a researcher involved in the development."
Needless to say the rest, Hu Bugui already knew better than he knew when he heard this - whether it is the blue seal or the illusory utopia, to put it simply, it is just a group of rebels with unknown purpose and identity. Why is there such technological power
Who is behind them
"Hu team..."
Hu Bugui interrupted him, lowered his voice, and said to him in a gust of snow: "Don't tell others, just make a special report to General Xiong. If it's really a problem from above, he will deal with it. Don't think too much, just do it." Do your own business."
"yes."
Hu Bugui switched the channel to the SWAT team again, explained that the cleaning was completed, and ordered them to be on standby at any time. Then he rode the bike, wiped the lens of his left eye again, and switched the channel back to Su Qing's side. He found that the person who was lying there and sleeping obediently just now sat up at some point. The elderly roommate was fast asleep when the clock struck 2:30 in the morning.
Hu Bugui was taken aback for a moment, feeling that something was wrong with Su Qing's state, this was not the first time, ever since Su Qing returned to the Blue Seal Base, no matter how energetic she was during the day, no matter how much she looked like she was full enough to sleep Such a person would definitely wake up at this time every night. Hu Bugui observed him for several days, and it was easy to understand when he was at Chen Lin's place. Because of fear or nervousness, he might suffer from insomnia, but hasn't he lived in the gray house for a long time? Why is it still like this
Su Qing sat upright by the bed in the dark room, staring at her hands without moving.
Hu Bugui just wanted to speak, but he was afraid that the sudden sound would scare him again, so he slowly turned up the volume on his side to make the sound of wind and rain gradually increase so that he could hear clearly.
Sure enough, after a while, Su moved lightly.
Hu Bugui turned the volume back, and then asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Su Qing seemed to be a little slow in responding. I don't know if it was because she just woke up or for some other reason. When she heard the question, it took four or five seconds to react. She glanced at Cheng Weizhi slowly, and got up lightly. After entering the bathroom, closed the door, and sat down against the wall, he whispered, "I just can't sleep."
Hu Bugui frowned, and tried his best to soften his voice—although it still sounded rough: "Have you been unable to sleep, or did you wake up suddenly? Did you have a nightmare?"
Su Qing didn't answer for a long time, as if sitting there in a daze, the communicator can roughly detect his mental state, even if Hu Bugui is not a professional medical staff, it can be seen that all his indicators are at a particularly low level state, couldn't help calling him: "Su Qing?"
Su Qing replied blankly, and stretched out her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose: "Well, it's too late, I'm not sober, what did you just say?"
Hu Bugui could hear that his speaking speed was much slower than in the daytime, with a nasal sound, so he repeated the question just now, and Su Qing stretched out her finger unconsciously to draw on the mirror that was a little bit of water vapor, The young man in the mirror seemed to have lost half of his soul, his eyes seemed to wander, his cheeks were pale, and the broken hair on his forehead was so long that it covered his eyebrows, making him look even more depressed.
"It's all... yes." He said, "I thought of something, but I don't know if it's my own thought or a dream. I'm a little confused."
"What did you think of?" Hu Bugui asked, and after asking, he felt that he was still a little blunt, so he added abruptly, "Can you tell me?"
Su Qing nodded first, then seemed to be thinking hard for a while, and smiled bitterly: "I forgot when you said it, maybe I fell asleep just now?"
Hu Bugui looked at Su Qing through the mirror, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him seemed to be a different person, from a child who was so active, bold and troublesome, poor and heartless during the day, to a It has become a porcelain doll.
Su Qing's eyes were sleepy, with a bit of indescribable bewilderment and boredom, without talking to him, he could stare at a place for a long time without moving, not knowing what he was thinking, and not going to sleep .
Hu Bugui's heart sank - he knew that something was wrong, Lu Qingbai had warned him, even though Su Qing looked like he had gone through a "feast" and nothing happened, which seemed rare, but they all knew that they would not be ashamed of the gray seal. , especially Type 2 Gray Seal, that is basically impossible, he will still be traumatized mentally, but it is not as obvious as others.
Hu Bugui stopped the car, wiped off the water hanging from the glasses, rubbed his numb hands again, took a deep breath, and said like coaxing a child: "Go to bed and lie down, let me tell you something. Let me tell you the story, and I will fall asleep in a while, okay?"
Su Qing said "oh", but didn't even move, she still sat there with straight eyebrows, staring at herself in the mirror, as if possessed by a foolish spirit.
Hu Bugui patiently told him again: "Go back to bed and lie down."
Su Qing yawned, he didn't move slowly now, even blinking seemed to slow down the camera: "...you tell me, I'm too lazy to move."
Hu Bugui thought for a while, cut off the connection with other places, so as to save his teammates from having nightmares at night, then slowed down his speech, and told a story of "The Tortoise and the Hare", which is a very boring story. Regardless of the original version or the later rendition, according to Hu Bugui's experience, coaxing children to sleep and telling this story, after the original version, basically halfway through the first rendition, the child is so bored that he falls asleep.
But Su Qing didn't say or listen, and didn't fall asleep. After listening to a few words, judging from his expression, he didn't know where he was distracted, and he didn't appreciate it at all.
Hu Bugui stopped and called him twice: "Su Qing? Su Qing?"
Su Qing was like a computer with a system failure, an hourglass that couldn't respond for a long time when it moved, poked him several times and didn't necessarily give a response, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses and asked blankly: "What did you say?"
Hu Bugui saw that this was definitely not going to work, so his tone was a little more serious: "You stand up, go back to the bed immediately, close your eyes, and don't talk. If it doesn't work, I'll call the team doctor to contact you. You need treatment."
Su Qing didn't know if she understood, and she stopped talking, just when Hu Bugui was about to say it again, Su Qing suddenly asked with erratic eyes: "Is it raining outside?"
Hu Bugui was taken aback for a moment, wondering why he turned to this topic, so he had to follow suit: "Yes."
"Are you still outside?"
"The Blueprint Base has used some shielding methods, and we are manually removing the jammers."
Su Qing let out an "oh", stood up slowly, and just put her hand on the bathroom doorknob, she suddenly stopped, turned her back to the mirror, lowered her head, her shoulders were slightly bent, and jumped without warning On to the next topic: "...I remembered what I had just dreamed about."
Hu Bugui didn't pay attention, and the front wheel got stuck in a mud puddle. He quickly stopped the car and put one foot on the ground, but he didn't expect that the night in the wild was so bad that his foot on the ground also got stuck in the mud , the cold muddy water quickly overwhelmed his rain boots and poured into his shoes.
Hu Bugui shook his head, while pulling himself and the wheel out of the mud, he didn't care about his right leg soaked in muddy water, afraid that Su Qing would forget it again, and hurriedly asked: "What did you dream about?"
Su Qing smiled briefly, and then closed it immediately: "Dream... When I was a child, my father took me back to my hometown to worship our family's ancestral grave. There was green smoke—although it was man-made, he still pointed to the wisp of green smoke and told my mother to show off that there was green smoke on the ancestral grave, and I would definitely be able to glorify my ancestors in the future."
Hu Bugui didn't say anything, and pushed the cart with difficulty in the increasingly cold rain. Hearing Su Qing's voice coming from there intermittently, his heart suddenly ached.
"As a result, he certainly didn't expect that twenty years later, I brought a man home to anger him—so, the smoke from the ancestral grave is rare, and it won't work if you try it yourself, it's a fake Shoddy ones are not so easy to be fooled by all kinds of gods and immortals, and they don't look like... "
"Su Qing."
"… Ok?"
"Come back from the base, ask Lu Qingbai to show you, stay in the team for a while, and then... go to my place?" Hu Bugui paused, and then said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, the other party The people behind it may be very powerful, we must protect you, it is relatively safe to go to my place, and besides... I am sorry for you."
Su Qing didn't know if she heard this sentence, she was taken aback again.
Hu Bugui sighed: "Go back to bed and lie down."
Su Qing walked back to the bedroom obediently like a marionette, turned herself sideways, and Hu Bugui said again: "Close your eyes."—It is simply life guidance for mentally handicapped children. But it's surprisingly good...except for the nonsense about Xu Ruchong.
Su Qing closed her eyes, and Hu Bugui finished talking about "Three Little Pigs" and "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mom" in the background sound of wind and rain, and found that the person was still asleep, so she put the classic children's bedtime songs together. The fairy tale went on, until he had seen the hiding place of the special police team from a distance, and it was almost dawn, so Su Qing fell silent.
At this time the rain stopped, Hu Bugui was still wet, found the tissue with clear soup and water, wiped off the muddy water on his body hastily, changed his clothes, filled a large bottle of mineral water, and took a breath: " Notify the headquarters, mobilize the helicopter, and go to the next target area."
