The atmosphere on the plane was very tense, no one spoke. As far as the mission itself was concerned, although the mission was not perfect, it was still passable. A large amount of drugs were seized but the informant died.
The reason for the tense atmosphere is that this mission crosses national borders. There are also people in the army, and some things can be covered up by the boss, but crossing the border cannot be covered up, and you will definitely be punished when you go back.
In addition, what puzzled the soldiers was Wu Dongfang's condition. All his clothes and weapons were gone, the paint on his face was gone, and his hair had become very long. Fortunately, his appearance had not changed, otherwise it would be difficult for them to see what was before them. This man with long hair and shawl was connected with their deputy squadron leader.
Wu Dongfang knew what the soldiers were thinking, but he had no time to care about it at this time. His attention was all on the cylinder in his hand. The outside of the cylinder was very smooth and had no words. The cylinder could be found by shaking it. There is also a slightly smaller cylinder inside, and the inner cylinder is the one with the text.
He was eager to find out about the cylinder not because he couldn't restrain his eagerness, but because the soldiers all knew that he had gotten this thing back. The soldiers were able to keep it a secret, but the little boy sitting in the corner with a depressed look on his face The platoon leader will definitely not keep secrets. He will report it immediately after returning. He knows the rules of the army. The loot must be handed over, but this thing cannot be handed over, otherwise the hiding place of Ming Yue and others will be exposed. The country's There is a special agency to deal with this kind of matter. If Ming Yue and others are found according to the diagram, the situation will get out of control.
Ming Yue added a cover to the outside of the copper pillar in order to protect the internal clues from being worn away. However, the protective measure she added at this time set up a great obstacle for Wu Dongfang. To break the outer copper skin, a saw must be used. , and he didn't have a saw at hand.
It was around nine o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the airport. Since the local government already knew the time of their return in advance, the local armed police came up immediately after the plane landed to organize the handover.
Naturally, Wu Dongfang would not hand over the copper pillar. Since he was injured, the medical staff at the airport checked his injury and performed simple treatment on the wound. Wu Dongfang took the opportunity to borrow scissors and cut off the long hair from the infirmary. hair.
"Deputy squadron leader, I want to talk to you." The small platoon leader walked into the medical room.
"What do you want to talk about?" Wu Dongfang frowned and tilted his head.
"Deputy squadron leader, I know you took something. You are the leader. You know the discipline of the army better than I do. What you did was wrong." The platoon leader looked serious. "If you hand it over now, I will Just pretend you didn’t see anything.”
"What's your name?" Wu Dongfang asked. He had forgotten this person's name after being away for twelve years.
"Zhang Zhi, platoon leader of the third platoon of the Cheetah Troop Special Operations Squadron." the platoon leader replied loudly.
"Zhang Zhi, this thing is not a trophy, it is my personal thing." Wu Dongfang said.
"You didn't bring this with you when you set out." Zhang Zhi said seriously.
"Can I pick it up?" Wu Dongfang frowned.
"Our army's disciplinary regulations stipulate that all income obtained during the execution of tasks is confiscated and must be handed over." Zhang Zhi brought out the regulations.
Wu Dongfang took a deep breath to calm down, then limped over and patted Zhang Zhi on the shoulder, "I know you are blaming me for letting them knock you unconscious, but this is your first time participating in actual combat, and the enemy is extremely vicious and armed. Drug dealer, it's too dangerous for you, I did this to protect you, don't be angry, I'll treat you to a table when I get back."
Zhang Zhi stood with his chest raised, his nostrils opening and closing quickly, with a look of justice on his face, "Deputy Squadron Leader, I will report the matter you mentioned to my superiors separately, but it is wrong for you to keep the seized items privately. Please hand them over to the receiving unit immediately. "
Wu Dongfang didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so he thought for a while and said, "Okay, I listen to you. It's not convenient for me to walk now. Go and find me a saw. I have to cut this thing open."
"Determining the nature of the seized items is not within our scope of responsibilities." Zhang Zhizheng said.
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Wu Dongfang finally became angry. What bothered him most was the nerds who came out of the military academy and were stupid in reading.
"Please respect my personality." Zhang Zhi's face turned red.
"Get out of here." Wu Dongfang raised his hands angrily.
Zhang Zhi stood still. Wu Dongfang roared again when he saw this. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhi grabbed his backpack on the table and ran away. The copper pillar was in the bag.
Wu Dongfang reacted, jumped up, and knocked Zhang Zhi down before he could go out. He grabbed the strap of the bag and struggled to snatch it. Zhang Zhi held the backpack with both hands and did not let go, "Deputy Squadron Leader, I am stopping you from making mistakes. .”
"I'm more familiar with the discipline of the army than you are. Let go." Wu Dongfang pulled again.
Zhang Zhi was not letting go. Although this guy had never participated in actual combat, he usually exercised a lot. Wu Dongfang was very tired at this time and could not snatch the backpack back from his hands.
In desperation, Wu Dongfang moved his hands and punched Zhang Zhi twice, but Zhang Zhi held the backpack with both hands and refused to let go. It was a bit heroic like a revolutionary martyr who blew up a bunker to block the bullet holes.
The quarrel between the two alarmed other team members. When they arrived, they found the two rolling together and hurriedly stepped forward to start a fight. Zhang Zhi had been beaten earlier and felt angry. He shouted loudly, "According to wartime command regulations, When a combat commander is unfit to continue commanding combat due to physical or mental reasons, the commander at the next lower level will take over his command... "
"Fuck you, how could you be assigned to the special forces?" Wu Dongfang kicked and took back the backpack from Zhang Zhi. There was a reason for him to curse. Zhang Zhi had made the matter so big that he could no longer suppress it.
Zhang Zhi's nose was kicked by Wu Dongfang. He became anxious, got up, and pulled out his gun.
Wu Dongfang also pulled out a pistol from his comrade's waist, and the two faced off tensely three meters apart.
Zhang Zhi had never experienced such a scene. He was so nervous that his whole body trembled and his hands shook violently.
Just when Wu Dongfang was worried that he would misfire, this guy did misfire, and a gunshot directly hit Wu Dongfang on the left shoulder.
After the gunfire, some soldiers took advantage of Zhang Zhi's dumbfounded moment and snatched the pistol from his hand. Some soldiers also tried to snatch Wu Dongfang's pistol. Wu Dongfang sided to avoid it and fired into the sky, "Stay back!"
"Boss, you are injured." A soldier said with concern.
Wu Dongfang didn't answer, pointed the gun at Zhang Zhi and shouted, "You idiot, I really want to kill you with one shot."
"Boss, don't be impulsive." Everyone exclaimed in unison.
At this time, the local armed police had heard the noise and rushed over. The soldiers were afraid that things would get serious, so they hurried out and blocked the armed police at the outside. Many people thought that the armed police were more powerful than soldiers. In fact, this was a misunderstanding. The armed police were local security forces and had the same nature as the police. Almost the same, and soldiers belong to the national defense armed forces, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the regular army is much stronger than that of the local police.
"Who obeys my order?" Wu Dongfang asked loudly. The pistol Zhang Zhi used was a nine-second handgun. This pistol was also very powerful. Shooting at close range caused serious damage to him. He was injured on TV. It's a lie to be able to move around with several shots. Let alone a rifle, even a pistol will basically lose its ability to move after one hit.
"I. I. I." Several responses came from outside the door, followed by several more. This combat team was brought out by him, and the soldiers were very loyal.
"Get me a chainsaw, quickly!" Wu Dongfang shouted. He was losing a lot of blood and couldn't get a bandage in time. It wouldn't take long before he fainted due to excessive blood loss.
"Deputy squadron leader, it's too late for you to stop now." Zhang Zhi was stunned when he saw the blood, and his teeth chattered.
"Get out of here." Wu Dongfang sat down and pressed the wound on his left shoulder with his right hand holding the pistol.
While waiting for the soldiers to find the chainsaw, Wu Dongfang quickly thought about how to deal with the matter, but at a glance he found a surveillance probe in the infirmary, and he was immediately discouraged. He originally wanted to say that his injuries were caused by the battle, so This saved Zhang Zhi from being held accountable, but not with the probe, which would record all the details.
Five minutes later, the electric saw came. Wu Dongfang handed the copper pillar to one of the soldiers he trusted and "cut it from the edge."
The soldier cut the copper pillar open according to his order, and sure enough, there was a smaller copper pillar inside, and this smaller copper pillar was covered with writings.
"Boss." The soldier handed the copper pillar to Wu Dongfang.
"Erase all the handwriting." Wu Dongfang slowly shook his head. He had lost too much blood and was on the verge of coma. Even if he could see the handwriting clearly, he couldn't write it all down. Once he fainted, the copper pillar would fall into the hands of others. hand.
Although the soldier was confused, he still carried out his order. He put the copper pillar close to the electric saw and used the saw blade to grind the writing on the copper pillar.
Wu Dongfang kept working hard until all the writing on the copper pillar was rubbed away, then he breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately fainted.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on the hospital bed.
The ward is large, but there is only one bed and no one around.
People who have lost excessive blood will feel thirsty when they wake up. Wu Dongfang was very thirsty. He raised his hand to get the water glass on the bedside table, but he was very weak at this time and it was very difficult to move his arms.
At this moment, a little nurse pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that he was awake, she hurriedly backed out, leaned towards the door and said, "He's awake."
After the nurse finished speaking, an officer rushed in first, ran quickly to the hospital bed, and whispered to Wu Dongfang, "The surveillance probe in the airport medical room was being repaired on the day of the incident. Try to explain to them the age and age of the piece of metal." your hair."
"Comrade Major, please step out for a moment." Then two more people came in, wearing casual clothes.
"Close your eyes," the Major whispered.
Upon hearing the sound, Wu Dongfang immediately closed his eyes and tilted his head, pretending to faint again. The officer who spoke earlier was none other than the squadron leader of his squadron.
"The patient is very weak, you go out first." The little nurse kicked the three of them out together.
Wu Dongfang was very thirsty at this time, but he pretended to be faint and could not ask for water. According to the captain's previous reminder, it was easy to see that his bizarre experience and the copper pillar had attracted the attention of the relevant superior departments, and the other party had already begun to take action. investigation.
As the captain said, he had to try to explain to the person responsible for investigating the matter why his hair suddenly grew longer, and why he found and destroyed a copper artifact thousands of years ago...
