"Wait a minute, if nothing else, isn't the Nine Sections always connected through a single line? How do you get in touch with the large army in this environment now?"
Before Xu Xin could explain, Ma Long couldn't wait to ask.
"Why are you in a hurry? Listen to me and tell you slowly."
Seeing Ma Long's anxious look, Xu Xin sped up her speech a bit and began to tell the story to the two of them.
The previous part is no different from what Ma Long knew. The country is like a lush tree. It has green leaves on the bright side to absorb sunlight and provide necessary energy for the growth of the country. It also has roots on the dark side to stabilize the soil. Provide long-term security for the country's stability.
If the army, weapons, science and technology are the green leaves on the bright side of the big tree, then Jiu Ke is the thick roots deep in the dark soil.
Without the support of green leaves, the tree cannot grow and prosper normally.
Without the existence of Jiu Ke, the big tree would have lost its foothold on this dark earth.
This department has existed since the founding of China. They lurk in the deepest darkness and continuously provide intelligence for the stability of the country.
The information of every member of the Nine Sections has been sealed and destroyed, like a dragon entering the sea, hidden in the vast sea of people.
"The contact information between Jiuke and us is indeed a single line, and the online contact of each member of Jiuke is unique and cannot be replaced."
"Old Xu, don't tell me that you are the top line of a member of the Nine Sections, then you have hidden it too deeply..."
Ma Long thought about it roughly, with a bit of joking.
"How can I be so capable? The identity of the top line of the Nine Sections is also kept secret. The order for our mission was directly issued by Shang Feng. If there is really an top line, then the top line should be Shang Feng, not me."
"Well, I have a question. Should I avoid this information? After all, my military rank is not high enough to understand these secrets..."
Hu Teng, who had been staying in the back seat, was also a little uneasy. Although he was older, his military rank meant he was just a squad leader. Logically speaking, he did not have the authority to know such highly confidential information.
Xu Xin did not stop talking, but glanced at the bearded man in the back seat and continued.
"It's okay. The reason why we can inform this information is also authorized by Shangfeng. Although the identity of Comrade Jiu Ke must be kept strictly confidential, the member we went to pick up in Yunlong Town this time has completed his mission, so there is no need to Worried about what a leak would do to his identity.”
"The mission has been completed? In other words, we are just going to pick up people this time? Doesn't it take such a big battle to get there? Wouldn't it be better to send a small team there?"
Touching his nose, Ma Long had a look of doubt on his face.
"I don't know about this. Captain Qiu only told me this. He still holds the leading right in commanding the team."
The tall man shrugged, saying that he didn't understand why Qiu Qianjun had to change the route of the entire army just to pick up a member of the Nine Sections.
"Okay, you should take the time to go to the toilet, and try to stay in the car and not come out at night."
Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, Xu Xin gently touched her palms and turned to get out of the car. He had the task of standing guard tonight, so he had to take the time to rest for a while.
"Wait a minute. Are you going to stay here tonight?"
Ma Long seemed to have heard something that made him
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Unexpected news, confusion written all over his face.
"Yes, not only that, don't use lights and other lighting tools at night, as they may attract mutated creatures or zombies that are pure viruses. Don't you know all this?"
Xu Xin glanced at Ma Long strangely. These were common sense already known in the military, but why did the other party give him the feeling that he didn't care at all.
Ma Long was also startled for a moment, and then nodded immediately, expressing his agreement with Xu Xin's statement.
"It's strange. I seem to have become a little arrogant. What Lao Xu said are normal hedging operations. Why do I feel inexplicably disdainful after hearing this..."
Muttering secretly in his heart, after watching Xu Xin get out of the car, Ma Long chatted with Hu Teng for a few more words, then left the military vehicle and returned to the Tesla car.
"How is it? How is the situation?"
There was only Zhang Jike in the car, and the others were outside enjoying the breeze. When he felt someone opening the car door, the sleeping soldier didn't even raise his eyelids and spoke in a low voice.
"How do you know it was me?"
Ma Long closed the car door, creating a private space with only him and Zhang Jike.
"intuition."
Zhang Jike opened his closed eyes a crack, and a faint light flashed through his pupils before quickly disappearing.
"How come you have become as talkative as that kid Lu Yu, and you have to rely on your intuition..."
The big-hearted Xiaoma obviously didn't notice the changes in Lao Zhang. It's no wonder, after all, he was a comrade who lived and died together. He was unprepared, so he didn't bother to observe.
"In a nutshell, the current large army is mainly composed of three teams. The leaders are Qiu Qianjun, Dugu Po and Duan Yun."
"The good news is that the current person in charge of the team is Qiu Qianjun, and our 22nd Rescue Team is his support;"
"The bad news is that the people in the team are not united. If there is any problem, the whole team is likely to fall apart and fight on their own."
Reaching out to unseal the plastic bag, Ma Long grabbed a piece of rice cake and chewed it.
"Qiu Qianjun... This is normal. In this current environment, no one is willing to lose their wings."
Zhang Jike whispered, his eyes drifting into the distance.
From his position, he could just see the lead car of the motorcade. There was a simple stove set up at the front of the team, and four people were sitting around, constantly taking food from the pot and putting it in their mouths.
It is difficult for normal people to see such a distant scene clearly, but Zhang Jike is different. After his body's immunity was infected by the secondary virus, it also strengthened to a certain extent like Xu Xiaoxiao Malong. The improvement in eyesight was only a small manifestation of it. .
"The reason for the rerouting has also been revealed. We are going to Yunlong Town to pick up a member of the Nine Sections. If nothing happens, we should be able to reach our destination by tomorrow night, and then set off for the Siming Mountain Refuge."
"Judging from the current situation, our reserves should be sufficient."
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Ma Long did not reach for it again, but tied the plastic bag tightly and put it back in its place.
"A member of the Nine Sections..."
Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Jike took a deep breath, like a toy with a depleted battery, and closed his eyes again tiredly.
"I'll take a rest, call me if you need anything..."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The discussion was forcibly terminated. Looking at Zhang Jike who looked tired, Ma Long frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak out.
"I said, Lao Zhang, is your health okay? Ever since you were injured, why have you always looked like this wilted? Are there any sequelae left on your body?"
"I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy. Also, take care of Xu Xiaoxiao. This little girl and Qiu Qianjun are eating hot pot in front..."
"Xu Xiaoxiao..."
When Ma Long heard this, he immediately turned to look out the window. Standing beside the car were Yan Han, Shao Xiuqi and Uncle Ni. Indeed, there was no figure of Xu Xiaoxiao.
"I'll call her back."
After muttering something softly, Ma Long opened the door and got out of the car, and walked forward in the direction of the motorcade.
When the soldier came to the head of the convoy, Xu Xiaoxiao was holding a large piece of meat and putting it into his mouth. Before he could chew it twice, he couldn't wait to reach out with his second chopstick to grab the meat from the pot.
"Xu Xiaoxiao..."
Standing behind the girl, Ma Long thought that the other party would notice, and then turned around to notice his arrival.
But what he didn't expect was that the girl's eyes seemed to only see the churning meat slices in the pot. Although it was just ordinary canned food, for the current Xu Xiaoxiao, the attraction inside it was undoubtedly fatal.
"Ah? Mr. Ma Long, you are here, hehe..."
Hearing the movement behind him, Xu Xiaoxiao turned his head belatedly. His two thin lips were covered with shiny oily flowers, and he looked like he was enjoying the meal.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao who was giggling because he was caught eating and drinking, Ma Long's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Fortunately, the girl's target was their ally Qiu Qianjun. If this happened to Dugu Po or Duan Yun's team, he really didn't know how it would end.
"I'm so sorry, Captain Qiu, for causing you trouble..."
Ma Long grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's wrist and stopped her from continuing to pinch the meat, with an apologetic smile on his face.
Although Hu Tengye and Xu Xin had told him that Qiu Qianjun was one of their own, Ma Long had not forgotten the indifferent attitude that Qiu Qianjun had when he first met him.
"We are all comrades in arms, it's nothing..."
I don't know if it was because the mask was taken off, but the expression on Qiu Qianjun's face seemed not as stiff as when he first met Ma Long, but his eagle eyes still had a strong sense of investigation.
"Where's Captain Zhang? Why haven't I seen him come out? Is he feeling unwell?"
After looking Ma Long up and down, Qiu Qianjun opened his mouth and asked about nothing else but Zhang Jike who was resting in the car.
"Oh, he was injured before and was resting in the car, so he never showed up."
Ma Long still answered the questions in a matter-of-fact manner. Qiu Qianjun didn't look like the familiar Hu Tengye. Moreover, the other party's military rank was higher than his own. He didn't dare to try to learn anything from the other party's mouth.
"okay, I get it."
Qiu Qianjun nodded and glanced behind him intentionally or unintentionally. His movements were so slight that no one noticed except Ma Long, who was face to face with him.
"Stay awake at midnight and I'll find you at the back of the convoy."
Qiu Qianjun's lips moved slightly, and a faint moan came out of his mouth and reached Ma Long's ears...
