Outside the cave entrance of the ruins.
The original location where the Chinese and American armies once faced each other is now facing off again between the armies of the Continental Kingdom and the Tianyu Kingdom. Interestingly, the American soldiers who followed the southern Continental Kingdom on their northern expedition were the first to conquer the Chinese who stayed here because of the golden-armored warriors of the Continental Kingdom. The camp inherited the original camp of the Chinese Army, and the new Chinese Army attached to Tianyu Kingdom instead rebuilt the remaining camp left by the American camp.
There are checks and balances between the Mainland Kingdom and the Tianyu Kingdom through successive treaties. From top to bottom, everyone in the affiliated armies of China and the United States knows that large-scale conflicts should be impossible, so there is no tense situation. Occasionally, two people can be seen outside the camp. The soldiers of the country took advantage of the break and tacitly walked to the middle area to exchange the small things they needed. Of course, there were also people spying on intelligence mixed in.
As for why they want to spy on information and what kind of information they want to spy on, only they themselves probably know. The world is always in chaos. Not to mention that Chu Yunsheng was once called a "supporting role" by the guardian. Even if he is the "protagonist", the world cannot Everything revolves around a certain person. There are as many demands, plans and purposes for survival as there are lives. Most of them will never intersect, and they will not even have anything to do with the situation at hand.
For example, Ruan Xiaohong, who is in her forties, is an important female official in China's senior official delegation. At this moment, she is asking her secretary to obtain a special drug for treating severe depression from the Americans, which is only produced and carried by the United States. In the American army, the practice of paying attention to the psychological condition of soldiers makes it easier to find this kind of special medicine in their army that is rarely seen in the outside world.
The person who is in urgent need of medicine is not her, but her beloved daughter. When she thinks of her daughter who was completely frightened when her husband died tragically in the first month after coming to this planet and has since closed herself off and dared not face the reality, Ruan Xiaohong has nothing but bursts of The pain and sadness make it easier to get angry and anxious, which is completely different from the image of her that is always confident and free in the eyes of outsiders. Only those closest to her know.
The secretary brought back bad news. A US military doctor who was willing to "smuggle" offered conditions that were dozens of times higher than her previous transaction prices. Depression, as several major countries on this planet gradually began to accept the people of the earth with various purposes. There are many substitutes and methods for ordinary drugs to treat trauma and physical illness. Only special drugs to treat depression and other diseases will be difficult to find suitable substitutes for humans on earth in a short time. Coupled with the strong increase in demand, "smuggling" that was originally priced according to one plate medicine". Nowadays, they are sold one by one. Even so, there is a price but no market.
Although the other party was just a small military doctor and Ruan Xiaohong held a high position, he was not afraid at all. Different countries and different camps, what can they do to him no matter how powerful he is?
If someone were replaced now, such as Counselor Baoer, the result would naturally be completely different. Don't look at the fact that he can only describe his image as a dog-leg in front of Prince Hu'er, and his calves are trembling in front of Chu Yunsheng, but in a small In front of the young military doctor, he has the largest military and political authority in the Northern Expeditionary Army, but he has complete control over the survival of these people. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the controller of their destiny.
Others in this group of US officials are not the politicians Ruan Xiaohong is familiar with. There was no special relationship, but there was a "friendship" with Bauer through several meetings and banquets. She couldn't deal with the military doctor. After she found out about Bauer, she was ready to take the upper-level route of power.
But she didn't know at this time that Counselor Power was not in a diplomatic mood at all. In addition to the exclamations, question marks and all kinds of garbled words in his head, there was only anxiety and uneasiness.
Waiting anxiously at the edge of the outer cordon at the entrance of the huge cave, Ruan Xiaohong walked impatiently back and forth over and over again. Every minute that passed, the special medicine that the military doctor kept secretly in his hand might be taken away by others. But there has been no news about Counselor Ball, and I don’t know when he will come back.
For the sake of her daughter, she even asked Lin Shuangyi to send a message to Baoer privately, even at the risk of negative comments from her superiors. I hope the medic can be dealt with as soon as possible.
But she still didn't expect that Comrade Lin Shuangyi had forgotten all about this incident. After such a big thing happened, who would care about a little girl who was in isolation all day long and attempted suicide? If you want to stay away, no matter how much background you have, you can't care about it. It is a big deal that this news must be sent back as soon as possible. His promotion to his current position was not due to the efforts of a group of forces behind Ruan Xiaohong. He had his own big boss whom he wanted to serve wholeheartedly.
Time passed by, and finally there was movement from below the cave. Ruan Xiaohong couldn't help but rush through the cordon and trotted all the way over. Given her status, no one stopped her.
She doesn't necessarily need Bauer to come back in person, as long as Bauer sends someone to deliver a message.
It's not yet the time for the planned return of the cave explorers. Those who come back at this time should most likely be the people sent back by Bauer!
The anxious Ruan Xiaohong was still a little happy. At least Bao Bao could give her this face. In the future, she would give Bao Bao some rewards and concessions appropriately in other negotiations, so that Bao Bao could achieve political achievements. This was the rule and had always been the rule. yes.
Her joy became more determined after she saw clearly the faces of the two people who appeared at the entrance of the cave. Although the two people were in tatters, one of the Chinese people had many holes in his protective clothing but it was still there, indicating his identity, while the other one was naked. He was shirtless, but it was this man with a European and American face. He was obviously sent here by Bauer, but I don’t know how he ended up like this?
It seems that the very dangerous words in the legend are not groundless. People from the former Chinese camp have also stated this point. Didn't you see that the awesome man who chopped off the giant's head also left and never came back?
Therefore, Ruan Xiaohong had no doubts about this man's ragged clothes. Instead, he was very grateful that Bauer allowed him to return alone at great risk. This was really a great honor!
Before these two people could speak, Ruan Xiaohong said first, "Are you sent here by Counselor Baoer and Director Lin?"
She spoke English, apparently ignoring the Chinese errand boy, and greeted the shirtless Europeans and Americans politely.
Who knew that the European and American man was holding two transparent buckets filled with colorful things, and looked at her blankly, and then looked at the Chinese man inquiringly. It could be seen that he seemed to be very careful.
But Director Ruan Xiaohong misunderstood again, interpreting this European and American's "caution" as Counselor Ball's instruction. After all, in that country, even if authorized, Ball would not dare to do "smuggling" transactions blatantly. That kind of special medicine is on the blacklist that prohibits any outflow transactions. Even with Baoer's identity, he does this kind of thing frequently, but he definitely doesn't dare to have the same basic scruples as she does.
Shirtless Europeans and Americans are so careful. Obviously, let the Chinese confirm his identity first, Ruan Xiaohong thought so.
Although she doesn't know this Chinese person, it doesn't mean that this person doesn't know her. She is a heavyweight official! If nothing else, this person should be sent back by Director Lin to lead the way. How can you not know yourself?
However, she was still a little surprised. Why didn't Director Lin send an acquaintance back? To avoid suspicion? This Lin Shuangyi is really cautious, gloomy and scheming! I've heard it before, and seeing it this time, it's true.
It's just some medicine. Is it necessary for such a big thing?
"Yes, we know Counselor Ball." The Chinese seemed to be very polite and did not mention Director Lin's name, but still said in English: "Is there anything to eat? We are all starving!"
Ruan Xiaohong sneered in her heart, it seemed that Lin Shuangyi still couldn't trust her. The person who was sent was so cautious and eager to clear up the relationship. Not only did he just say "I know Bauer", but he also gave ridiculous reasons such as being hungry to cover up the identity confirmation process. But did he have any brains? They had only been down there for a day, and they had plenty of food, so how could they starve?
Ruan Xiaohong thought so in her heart, but there was no trace of it on her face, and her anxiety was also concealed in her kindness, since this little Luo Luo said she was hungry. She didn't want to expose him, so she could offend Lin Shuangyi for nothing and just get the special medicine back. This was the key. He waved his hand, summoned his secretary, and cooperated to make a face-saving arrangement.
After a while, the secretary led two people from the security force's cooking class to deliver a pot of steamed buns and other food. Before arriving at the planet, the food reserves carried by the core camp were still sufficient.
On Earth. A few steamed buns, a few bags of pickles, two slices of ham sausage and two meat buns were enough to satisfy people. Although they still couldn't serve Ruan Xiaohong and others, they could be used by the two young men who came back to work. Luoluo should be regarded as a serious person. You must know that now most people, including the army, have begun to eat all kinds of rough and unrefined junk food that is newly determined to be edible on this planet.
No matter what, these two people risked the danger in the cave and came back alone to handle private matters for themselves. Ruan Xiaohong thought that this arrangement was a benefit to them both, especially for the European and American who also prepared two slices of bread and a can of beef. Of course, the Chinese People don’t get this kind of treatment.
Who knows, the Chinese man took away the canned beef very honestly and politely, read the production date carefully, then stuffed it into his clothes, and then grabbed the steamed buns in the pot as if nothing had happened. Eat as much as you can.
Ruan Xiaohong snorted in her heart. She thought that Lin Shuangyi's people would pay attention to the influence. Unexpectedly, he was also a good hand at plucking the hair of wild geese. A box of canned beef became the benefit of his trip in a blink of an eye. However, Ruan Xiaohong saw the shirtless man. Europeans and Americans have no objections and don't care. It's just a box of cans and it won't catch her eye.
If it weren't for the cousin of her uncle's family who came out of the Far North, the camp would have suffered heavy losses. Unfortunately, she lost her youngest son who was less than ten years old. She suffered severe mental and physical injuries. Although a month or two ago After His Royal Highness Luo Sha returned to Tianyu Kingdom alive, within a few days, a large number of Tianyu troops urgently dispatched by the Tianyu tribe were searched and found from the far north and brought back to Sky Garden City. However, they never recovered, otherwise they would now be responsible for supplies. One of the dozen or so vice-presidents in the general department must have a place for this cousin. Do we still need to worry about food issues?
What she wants is medicine, damn medicine!
But then, she became a little confused.
These two people really looked like hungry ghosts reincarnated and ate like crazy, as if they had not eaten for eight hundred years, holding the aluminum pots in the wind. People who didn't know, thought they were competing to see who could eat faster or eat more. , it seemed that he didn’t even have time to peel off the wrapping of the two pieces of ham sausage, so he bit and chewed it savagely and ate it!
Not only was Ruan Xiaohong stunned by this eating look, but the secretary behind her and the officers on the cordon also pointed curiously.
Is the radiation in the cave so powerful? Spending energy and being so weak?
There were some people who didn't understand the situation and wanted to gain some credit while trying to get a spot in the cave. They immediately felt lucky that they were not selected. Look at this situation, the living people went in and the hungry ghosts came out, half dead. It’s scary just thinking about it.
The shirtless European and American licked his lips, and as if he didn't care about his image at all, he stretched out his hand and said: "There is also a can, I saw it. Just take it out. I'm not full yet, so don't hide it."
The Chinese man who was forcefully stuffing the last meat bun into his mouth with his fingers did not even look at him. He raised his head and said to Ruan Xiaohong with a mouth full of buns: "Is there any more? We are not full yet. Two more." Pot, no, three pots, okay?"
Ruan Xiaohong frowned slightly. The little secretary who was familiar with her immediately realized that her leader was unhappy and was about to come out to speak when she heard the key shirtless European and American man immediately slapped him and corrected: "NO, NO, NO , I want five pots, at least five pots!”
This American was the key person who had to "negotiate" directly with the military doctor. The secretary did not dare to refuse him with nonsense words, so as not to incur unforeseen expenses. Then he turned around and asked Ruan Xiaohong for instructions.
For the sake of the medicine and her daughter, Ruan Xiaohong suppressed her anger at being so rudely offended by the two little Luoluo and nodded without saying a word.
The little secretary received the instruction and immediately urged the soldiers in the cooking class to send more steamed buns.
At this time, unexpectedly, the Chinese who had offended her leader without hesitation actually chased the soldiers with words: "Brother, do your comrades have any cigarettes? Bring me a box, and I will exchange things with you to make a difference." Take out your gold watch and exchange it with someone else, and don't hide it. I'll know you have it in your pocket as soon as it's holed, so what's the use of that thing?"
In fact, wait for Bauer and the others to come up. There is no need to change, it can be solved with one sentence, but they can't wait any longer. The two of them no longer have to worry about the safety of Boutney and Gru. Except for Chu Yunsheng, who is still always vigilant about the cardinal's life, they basically just take care of themselves. Eat a big meal. Take another good puff of cigarette.
He could also see that this female official was a little dissatisfied with him. She couldn't satisfy the special request for such "luxury goods". It was okay to exchange things with ordinary soldiers, right? He believed that soldiers must have this thing in their hands.
Otherwise, before Bauer and others came up, they would have to send Ba Yi to rob it, which would be too laborious.
Ruan Xiaohong's face was indeed livid, but she could still maintain restraint. For people in her position, few things could cause any trouble. Only matters involving special medicines and her daughter would cause some emotional gaffes.
The soldiers from the cooking class soon came back with aluminum pots in their arms, but they did not bring the cigarettes that the Chinese had hoped for. Everyone could see that Director Ruan was very unhappy. It doesn’t matter who the Chinese is, or their leader. But being serious is Director Ruan, and he will never make mistakes if he acts according to the instructions of the leader.
The Chinese man who always carried the knife smiled faintly and said nothing more. He was just giving it a try. He was not that anxious, so he concentrated on dealing with the steamed buns in the pot. The shirtless European and American man opposite him was actually He didn't take out his watch at all, and continued to compete with the person opposite him in eating steamed buns with a disdainful expression.
When they were about to be eliminated in the third pot, Ruan Xiaohong, who was eager to get the special medicine, finally couldn't help it anymore and signaled the secretary to come forward and asked: "Two of you, what did Mr. Counselor tell me...?"
These two foodies are too ignorant, especially this Chinese. Director Ruan, an American, can’t control him. You are working under Director Lin. Sooner or later, I will give you some shoes or something. It is definitely not difficult. If you can get along, How come you don't understand anything when you are in the position of Director Lin's confidant?
What surprised her was that the Chinese man who had been normal just now became extremely cold. He only glanced at her without saying a word. He even touched the ground with his hand and then felt strangely deep. He took a breath and looked as if he didn't hear it at all. He didn't know what it meant.
Is this to take advantage of Director Ruan's pain? The little secretary was startled, and her face became serious. If this guy really wanted to take this opportunity to knock Director Ruan off, no matter where he got the courage or what kind of madness he had, considering the current situation, it really wasn't too serious. It was easy to handle, probably because the American seemed to be keeping pace with him, and except for his watch, everything else even obeyed his words.
The little secretary was very smart, but not as good as Ruan Xiaohong. She immediately realized that this Chinese probably wanted to make a fortune for herself and join the American camp. Otherwise, how could she have such a good relationship with this American?
She put on a serious face and asked in a coercive style that would definitely send chills to other people's ears. It was characteristic of this country and came from absolute power: "What's your name? Which department do you belong to!? Who is the leader!?”
She naturally knew that the Chinese leader was Lin Shuangyi, but she still had to say it this way, which would put great pressure on her.
Chu Yunsheng glanced at her, stood up slowly, and said, "Ba Yi, pack up the remaining steamed buns." Then, he turned to Ruan Xiaohong and said in a deep voice, "I don't know who you are, but we ate six of you in total. Guo Mantou, listen carefully, it’s not too much, your Highness Luo Sha owes me a life, six pots of steamed buns in exchange for her previous life, tell her, we are settled!"
Not to mention that in the far north that day, he and the shadow man did kill the monsters chasing Luo Sha and others. Then when the spaceship collapsed, he and the shadow man did save Luo Sha's life.
However, he still seemed to be distorting the facts, because without him and the shadow man, they would not be in danger. Of course, if today is included, Luo Sha did save another life from his knife. In this way It's no exaggeration to say so.
Ruan Xiaohong didn't expect that Chu Yunsheng would dare to talk to her like this. She couldn't hide her anxiety due to the special medicine. She was probably confused. Without thinking about it, she immediately shouted coldly: "Who are you? You dare to talk to me like this. Speak! Just because you saved His Highness Luo Sha! Company Commander Zhao, arrest this person immediately!"
"Who am I? Ask them. I don't have time to talk to you. Get out of here!" Chu Yunsheng raised his sword with a solemn expression and pointed at the large number of Tianyu clan members who flew out of the cave behind him, including those who followed them. Baoer, who came up, was unsteady as soon as he landed, but he was rolling and running towards Chu Yunsheng. Behind him were the nervous-looking Highness Luo Sha and the slowly rising gorgeous car.
Before Ruan Xiaohong knew what was going on, Chu Yunsheng had already swept out with the knife in his left hand, and the person was like an arrow, flying towards the ground. Captain Zhang, who was about to step forward on the cordon, felt his eyes flicker, and the telescope in his hand disappeared. When he reacted, he saw a fierce figure stepping on the military vehicle soaring up into the sky.
On the northern coastline, on the blue sea, huge ships as huge as human aircraft carriers broke through the waves more than ten meters high, riding on the wind. The black ship armor was like a giant beast of the ocean in the roaring waves, pulling them Huge swimming figures appeared in the sea under the sea, and sometimes a huge arrow-like creature jumped out from under the sea, shuttled through the waves, and boiled in the sea. Under the combination of dark clouds and thunder and lightning, there were layers upon layers that could not be seen at a glance. to the margins.
And their vanguard had already landed on the coast, passed through the jungles, and stepped on the surging seawater that covered the ground. They appeared in Chu Yunsheng's telescope like black spots on the roaring waves.
