Since there was no way to find out who was infected with the virus, Lu Yan decided to secretly transfer most of the resources in order to preserve a large amount of resources and avoid chaos.
In addition to people, most of the medicines, food, weapons, and chemical resources were packaged secretly.
They couldn't quickly find a place to rebuild the base in a short time, so they dug a basement in another part of Tongcheng and temporarily stored everything there.
It was completely impossible to keep such a big move secret. Lu Yan actually didn't want to hide it at all. He wanted to use this to catch the big fish behind.
Lieutenant General Lu seemed to have been arrested without any help, as if he had acquiesced in the fact that he was a traitor, and he never even defended Lu Yan.
He almost no longer interfered with matters in the base and allowed Lu Yan to transfer things in the base. He only asked a few words from time to time.
Because he is the top commander of the base, if the identity of the traitor is exposed at this point, people will be panicked and many unnecessary things will happen.
Coupled with the fact that he was Lu Yan's uncle, Qi Yang couldn't accept this for a while, and finally had to put Lieutenant General Lu under house arrest.
Unexpectedly, even Major General Li did not raise objections to Lu Yan's behavior, and even tried to help.
The transfer of supplies seemed to go very smoothly without any mistakes, which surprised Lu Yan and Qi Yang, who had been prepared from the beginning.
But Lu Yan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
He and Mu Tang hadn't had a good conversation together for a long time. Finally, he had time to take her with him to chat in the base at night.
"The little sun looks so good now. It used to be red. Lin Wu said it looked like a little monkey, but now it looks nothing like it!"
Mu Tang held Lu Yan tightly with one hand, with a thin layer of red on her face, and excitedly chattered to Lu Yan about recent events.
"Lin Wu said he wanted to teach the children in the base to read, so Qi Yang found tables and chairs. I originally thought that the parents of the survivors would not be willing, but I didn't expect that everyone was very happy."
Lu Yan kept nodding in response, looking at her quietly with a smile on his face, the tenderness in his eyes almost turning into water.
Mu Tang said enthusiastically, suddenly thought of something, and shook Lu Yan's sleeve:
"By the way, Lin Wu said that marriage can't be just talk. She needs the certificate, the small red book!! She showed it to me, and it had photos of her and her husband on it!"
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately knew what she was talking about.
Marriages in the army have to be reported, and the various approval procedures are complicated. He had never thought that he would get married before, so he didn't pay much attention to these.
Now that I have a little girl, I have forgotten all this.
Lu Yan stopped, feeling guilty.
Being with Mu Tang, occupying the identity of her fiancé, ended up giving her nothing, including a ring and a proposal for a girl's engagement.
For her to want to spend the rest of her life with him even though she had nothing, Lu Yan felt that he owed the little girl even if it was the end of the world.
Mu Tang saw him suddenly stop, turned around and said strangely:
"Why don't you leave?"
Lu Yan raised his hand and touched her head, and said softly:
"Lin Wu is right. You must have a marriage certificate. Without it, you are not a couple."
It's just that in this situation, it's not practical to file a report. However, there are advantages. There are not so many approvals, and the marriage certificate can be obtained quickly.
No matter how bad the conditions at the base are, marriage certificates can still be produced.
Just when he was about to say that he would take the little girl to ask Qi Yang and the others to apply for a certificate for him, he saw that Mu Tang was already visibly angry.
Her cheeks puffed up and her eyes were full of anger.
Lu Yan's mind went blank for a moment, thinking back to what he just said. Which sentence was wrong?
Then I heard Mu Tang's angry voice:
"Who said it doesn't count?! We don't need that certificate, we are also husband and wife!!"
Mu Tang stared straight at Lu Yan's face with her big eyes, looking at him eagerly, tugging at her sleeves and shaking them:
"You promised me, are you going to go back on your word?!"
It turned out to be because of this.
The little girl's brain circuit has always been different from ordinary people. Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then pinched Mu Tang's cheek in a dumbfounded way:
"I have no regrets, I mean, we can get a marriage certificate."
Mu Tang's eyes lit up and he immediately replied:
"good!!"
There was still an angry expression on her face, but her eyes were already shining with joy.
The only little girl in the entire base who could change her mood so quickly was the one in front of her.
Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh. Mu Tang hugged his arm and said happily:
"Can it be done now, can it be done now, can it be done?!"
Lu Yan looked at the sky. It was already dark, but it was not too late.
Unable to bear to dampen Mu Tang's enthusiasm, Lu Yan nodded obediently:
"Yes, we can do it now."
Mu Tang dragged him forward a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked back at him, opening his hand:
"back!"
Lu Yan nodded with a smile, squatted down, and lifted the little girl on his back:
"gone!"
…
Qi Yang looked at the two conjoined twins in front of him, the corners of his eyes beating uncontrollably, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice:
"Be careful of the impact. This is the army and there are many single comrades. Don't go too far."
As he spoke, he glared at Lu Yan warningly.
Mu Tang clung to Lu Yan's back, ready to jump down after hearing the words, but Lu Yan carried her on his back uncharacteristically and did not let go.
Qi Yang felt that this scene was very dazzling and took a deep breath:
"So, you finally have some free time. Why don't you come to me if you don't stay with your little girl at night?"
A soldier passed by and whispered without raising his head:
"Of course I'm here to feed you."
Qi Yang's eyebrows jumped. Seeing the soldier about to run away, he grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back:
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by what you just said?"
The soldier shrank his neck and refused to make any more noise.
Qi Yang was annoyed and hit the back of his head:
"I'm asking you something!! Say it quickly!!!"
The soldier cried out, and finally rolled his eyes:
"Captain, don't you use your mobile phone?"
Qi Yang raised his eyebrows and said impatiently:
"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."
The soldier wilted and pointed at Lu Yan and the two of them:
"People like them showing affection everywhere are called showing off their affection." Then he pointed at Qi Yang and laughed twice:
"A person like you who has no partner is called a single."
After all, aren't they just here to feed Qi Yang? !
Seeing the excitement, the soldier didn't think it was a big deal. He stretched out his neck and said coquettishly:
"Captain, how are you? The dog food endorsed by Captain Lu tastes good, isn't it? Are you full?"
As he spoke, he patted his belly:
"I've already eaten enough."
Qi Yang's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he raised his hand to slap the soldier on the back of the head.
The soldier shrunk his neck and rushed out with his waist bent. He was very fast and it looked like he was well prepared.
Qi Yang sighed, rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and looked back at the two people who were stuck together like conjoined twins:
"So, why are you here so late at night?"
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, unable to hide the smile on his face behind the little girl's back, he coughed dryly and said:
"The person who issued the certificate."
"Apply for a certificate?" Qi Yang hadn't responded yet: "What certificate should I apply for?"
Then he came to his senses and immediately shook his head:
"Why did you come to me to apply for a certificate? I'm not the Civil Affairs Bureau here. Besides, did you report it?"
But after saying this, he regretted it. In this situation, where did the Civil Affairs Bureau come from to write the report, and who would approve it?
As soon as Mu Tang couldn't handle the matter, he patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, worry in his eyes.
Lu Yan gave her a comforting look, then smiled and said:
"In extraordinary times, there are naturally very formalities. We should be the last to run the military and political departments here. Although it has nothing to do with civil affairs, the marriage certificate issued by the state can only be obtained from you."
Qi Yang glanced at them, without hesitation, turned around, walked to his desk and pulled out the drawer:
"Fine."
He took out a fat and white Polaroid from the bottom of the drawer:
"However, you can't occupy public resources. Use mine."
As he spoke, he smiled and shook the white camera in his hand:
"The last three pieces of photo paper, I'm giving you an advantage!"
Lu Yan looked at the camera that was completely inconsistent with his temperament and exuded a cute atmosphere, and then asked:
"Is this yours? Can't you tell, Qi Yang, I didn't expect you to like this style."
Qi Yang's hand adjusting the photo paper paused, and a calm sadness flashed across his eyes. After a while, he whispered:
"Well, it's mine."
Lu Yan glanced at his lowered eyebrows, and then changed the topic:
"Take a good picture."
Qi Yang also put away the wrong expression on his face and said angrily:
"Some photos are good, but I am picky. I am not a photographer."
Then he murmured to himself:
"Gotta find a red background..."
His eyes were wandering around, his brows slightly furrowed:
“You can’t take wedding photos carelessly.”
His eyes lit up after a while:
"Yes, come with me!" He said and hurried out of the door.
Mu Tang jumped off Lu Yan's back long ago and held Lu Yan's hand tightly. Hearing this, he and Lu Yan looked at each other and followed Qi Yang out of the room.
Turning left and right, he walked to the innermost room. Qi Yang took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
Mu Tang and Lu Yan followed him through the door and watched him open the curtain covering the wall.
The warm red spreads all over the wall, and the brilliant five stars shine on it——
Chinese flag.
Qi Yang looked at the five brilliant stars and was lost in thought. After a second or two, he turned back and said with a smile:
"It's a big advantage for you. The national flag is printed on your marriage certificate."
There were a few chairs scattered in the room, covered with heavy dust. No one had been here for a long time.
On the wall next to it hangs gilt regular script characters:
"I am a soldier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and I swear:"
"Obey the leadership of the Communist Party of China, serve the people wholeheartedly, obey orders, strictly observe discipline, be brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, practice hard to kill the enemy, be always ready to fight, never betray the army, and defend the motherland to the death."
This was originally a temporary hall. When the Tongcheng base was established, not everyone in the army retreated.
Human beings are made of flesh and blood. They are also raised by mothers and fathers. They are other people's fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, brothers and sisters...
They are not machines, and it is a normal instinct to avoid death.
As the top commander of the base, Lieutenant General Lu cannot ask all soldiers to die fearlessly for others.
Whenever this happens, someone always comes to this room, sits on a chair and looks at the two walls, sitting there for several hours, and finally returns with red eyes.
But in the end, fewer and fewer people came here, and finally there was no one left, and the door of this room was locked again.
Lu Yan looked away from the wall where the oath was engraved, walked closer to the wall, stretched out his hand to touch the stars one by one, and finally took Mu Tang's hand, put the general's hat back on his head, and arranged the epaulettes. collar:
"Just here."
