Chapter 147
Chen Wei had already woken up, sitting on the camp bed, drinking the freshly brewed anti-cold medicine, wrapped in a hard quilt, which probably didn't keep warm very much.He Luan wiped off the ice and snow from his hair, took off his overcoat, and wrapped the dry clothes inside for Chen Wei.
"Is it better?" He Luan sat on the edge of the bed and touched Chen Wei's face. Chen Wei's face was slightly hot, but his face was very pale, the pale color after excessive blood loss.
Chen Wei drank the last sip of medicine, opened his mouth, his throat hurt so badly, so he could only nod his head to show that he felt okay.He Luan turned Chen Wei's head carefully, held his cheek gently, and brushed his fingers over the bandage.
A white bandage bound half of Chen Wei's face, covering his right eye, and another bandage was pulled out across the bridge of his nose and strangled the back of his head.Dried blood oozes from the position of the right eye, and there are several lacerations on the right neck, extending from the jawbone to below the collarbone.
"I was injured by the claw of the dragon, does it still hurt?"
Chen Wei nodded, his left eye was still sparkling, embedded in his pale face, at least there was some hope.
He Luan felt sorry for him, stretched out his arms to hug him, kissed the bridge of his nose, and said: "It will be fine, it says that you will enter the main peak after you recover, and rest where you are now. You will get better soon gone."
Chen Wei moved his throat, and he felt severe pain when he swallowed a little.He stretched out his finger from under the quilt and pointed to his right eye.He Luan saw that Chen Wei's left eye was suddenly clouded with mist, so he quickly raised his hand to hold his wrist, and then clasped his fingers tightly.
"It'll be fine." He Luan raised his hand and brushed Chen Wei's hair back from his forehead, looked into his eyes and said gently, "The doctor said he can cure your eyes, believe him, Wei Wei, believe it I can carry it by myself."
A tear accidentally fell from the corner of Chen Wei's eye, and he blinked, trying to force the tear back.He Luan raised his hand to gently wipe it off for him, and then kissed his left eye: "Don't cry, be obedient."
Zhandui Jiangqu came in from outside the tent and patted the snowflakes off his body.He Luan was leaning against the head of the bed wearing a sweater, and patted Chen Wei on the shoulder.Chen Wei lay in his arms, feeling drowsy, half asleep and half awake.
"teacher."
"Well, how is he?"
"He's fine, recovering slowly and should be fine."
"That's good, poor boy. But he saved a lot of people, it's considered a meritorious service, and the notice and reward from above will be sent out soon."
"I know. He saved me from the avalanche."
Then there was a moment of silence, Chen Wei vaguely heard someone talking, the voice floated faintly above his head, suddenly distant and near.He didn't know if he was in a dream, everything around him became hazy.
"Teacher Jiangqu, how can I get in touch with the coordinate system? I want to talk to Chief Ji and tell him something."
"You go to the officers above and ask them to give you permission. What are you doing with that Chief Ji?"
"I went up to the mountain for prospecting today, and I took some pictures. But the weather was bad, the clouds were too thick, and I couldn't see clearly. The telescope captured some strange things. Look, this is here. It looks like the spire of a tower."
a tower?What tower?Chen Wei was thinking subconsciously, as if hearing someone whispering in his ear in a dream, like a piece of water rippling away, reflecting the peach blossoms on the shore, who knows which layer of the dream it has bloomed to.He fell into a drowsy sleep, unable to remember anything.
Jiang Qu held the computer and typed a few keys, and he was still wearing leather gloves that were hard from the cold.Quickly flipping through a few photos, He Luan has already pulled off the coat on the chair, put it on, fastened his belt, and put away his ID.
"It's too blurry, I can't see clearly." Jiang Qu said, and glanced at He Luan, "Where did you take the picture? I'm not on the same survey team as you. I'm on the western ridge, and I didn't see any towers." tip."
He Luan adjusted his collar and protected his neck so that the cold air would not seep in through the gap of the collar.After putting on his gloves, he looked back at Chen Wei who was sleeping soundly on the camp bed, then turned his head and replied, "It's on a high ground in the southeast of you, where the view is good."
They talked and walked out of the tent. He Luan stretched out his hand to signal Jiang Qu to go outside, but his eyes kept on Chen Wei. Chen Wei was covered with a green quilt, and a surveillance camera revolved around him. Monitors for medical teams.
It was snowing outside the tent, and they were in the depression of the snow mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a natural shelter from the wind.The power generation equipment was found in the best position a few days ago and the structure is good enough to maintain the power consumption needs of the fleet.Large signal transceivers are placed in open high places.As soon as He Luan looked up, he could see those giants spinning against the empty sky.
The spider web burst out with a violent white light, and He Luan hadn't seen such a dazzling light for a long time.He raised his hand to cover his eyes, and walked along the gravel beach to the headquarters tent.From time to time, I heard the sound of electric current in my ear, which is the moaning/groaning of the spider web.
"The activity of the fourth cavity is too strong." He Luan looked at the sky, the clouds drifted along the trajectory of the spider web, pressing down on the top of the snow mountain, "What's going on recently, what caused the fluctuation?"
"The channel scanner has detected internal distortions. The source of the fluctuations comes from ancient times, so far away that we can't find out the exact age." Jiang Qu pulled a newspaper from the shelf next to him and handed it to He Luan. "There are similar waves in other parts of the world. Events, such as the Ninth Hollow in the Washington area of the United States, NASA attaches great importance to this."
He Luan shook out the newspaper and quickly browsed through it. The latest newspaper and the time bureau would fetch it from the market every day. Spokesmen for NASA and the Washington Time Bureau appeared together, and the photo was printed on it, with the joint NASA and Time Bureau logo on the back.
There is also a group photo. He Luan caught a glimpse of the face of a young Chinese lady on it. He thought it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. He only remembered where he had seen it.He didn't have time to think about it, he folded the newspaper and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his clothes, said goodbye to Jiangqu and walked around the wormwood bushes.
The military vehicle was parked next to the tent, and the door of the compartment was opened. It contained information and communication equipment, and radar and anti-reconnaissance stealth equipment were mounted on the top.Looking further up, there are abrupt bristles of jagged rocks, with disc-shaped transceivers scattered among them.
"This is the communication command center, what help do you need?"
"Time Bureau, No. 0632, He Luan. I need to talk to the commander of the 'backtracking' project in China, please allow."
"Please show proof of authority. In addition, the current hole activity is active, the electronic signal is strongly interfered, and the ultra-long space-time call may not be established."
"I don't have proof of authority."
"Sorry, we won't be able to serve you then."
"Wait, sir, listen to me..."
"What's the noise?" Another officer's voice sounded from behind, and then a shadow slid over, and a woman's figure appeared beside He Luan, "I ask you, what's the noise."
It was a female officer with white hair and a stern and hale-hearted expression.He Luan glanced at the grade badge on her chest, at least she was a military commander, or the deputy commander of the military region, and she should be the highest-ranking officer in the convoy.
"Reporting sir, the team member number 0632 of the time bureau wants to talk to the commander of the 'backtracking' project in China, but he does not have the authority to prove that we cannot operate it."
After listening to the report, the female officer turned her eyes and stared at He Luan for a while, then turned her toes and stood with her hands behind her back.She has a fierce style, the corners of her tight lips are serious, wrinkles are covered with her thin and resolute face, and her eyes are hidden in the deep-set eye sockets.
"Are you the executor of the time bureau number 0632?" The female officer asked, "What's your last name? Where are you from?"
I don't know how many people have asked this question. It's the same for small soldiers and big officers.He Luan did the math, but he didn't. The cold wind blowing outside the tent, he saluted the officer and replied: "Report sir, my surname is He, and I'm from Beijing. Besides, I'm not an executive officer."
"Well. It's all the same." The female officer nodded, lowered her eyes when she heard this, and finally let go of her hands behind her back. He Luan saw her spread out the folder in her hand, "He Luan, maintenance department, number 0632, Beijinger , your father's name is... He Qianbei?"
He Luan moved his throat, and quickly glanced down at the folder in the female officer's hand, then raised his eyes and said, "Yes, sir, it's exactly right. Is there any problem?"
The female officer tapped the fountain pen, and He Luan saw that her fingers exposed in the air had turned red from the cold.The officer wiped his short hair aside, then pulled out the cap of the pen and quickly signed his name on the first page, took it off and handed it to He Luan.
"No problem, I just want to tell you that you have the authority to prove it now." The officer said, she was expressionless, her eyes embedded in the browbones looked at He Luan's face, raised the paper as a signal, and put it in He Luan's hand, "This is yours, please save it."
At a glance, He Luan saw the two largest lines of characters on the top, and below it was the joint logo of Chengdu Military Region, Tibet Military Region and Time Bureau.Before he could figure out what was going on, the female officer had already raised her hand to signal the correspondent: "He has proof, please act according to his request."
"Yes, sir."
The communicator quickly returned to his seat and started to connect to the call. A certain transceiver on the mountain immediately turned in one direction, and a light beam of light—an electric signal carrying the robot shot out, shot/into the hollow, and disappeared after a while.
It will take some time before the successful connection, but the female officer did not leave. She stood next to He Luan and looked at the data displayed on the electronic screen. Her cheeks were sunken due to her thinness, which made her cheekbones stand out.
He Luan slowly waited for the correspondent to complete the task. He looked down at the paper in his hand, pursed his lips for a while, and asked the officer next to him: "Sir, why did you suddenly...give me the authorization certificate?"
The female officer stood upright, that was the military posture she had trained all year round, with a heavy coat wrapped around her body, and there were snowflakes on her shoulders.The officer didn't look at He Luan, she focused more on the codes and data on the screen: "Because you are special, I have to do this."
"I don't quite understand." He Luan said lightly, his voice seemed particularly lonely and stable in the howling wind, "Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean, can I understand it as a reward? "
"You are the son of He Qianbei and a descendant of the He family. I have to do this. You deserve to be protected. We will fulfill your requests one by one." The female officer said, touching her hand with the pen between her hands. Lips, "The time bureau wants me to sign a certificate. I just wanted to hand over the certificate to the correspondent and let them pass it to you, when you happened to be here."
"So this is the proof of authority given to me by the Time Bureau?"
"Yes, soldier, you are a member of the time bureau, of course you have to be issued by the time bureau, I am just your temporary executive officer." The female officer turned around and patted He Luan on the shoulder, and stopped looking at the display screen, "Treasure life, Soldier, although we will protect you, everything depends on you. The connection is about to be established, pay attention to the time limit, and the electronic signal interference is serious, which may affect your call. Anyway, I wish you a happy call. "
After she finished speaking, she left the tent. The colonel outside had been waiting for a long time, busy handing her the strategic plan for her to read.The moment He Luan closed the tent, he heard the sound of the wind blowing down from the mountain, mixed with the cold and snow foam on the snow-capped mountain, covering the sky and covering the earth.
He Luan unfolded the certificate again, and put the authorization card into his pocket.Signed at the bottom of the certificate, just where the female officer signed.He Luan carefully identified the signature under the lamp, and recognized the officer's handwriting: Yang Qilan.
Unnamed mountainous area, seaside, just after dawn, the sunrise can be seen on the eastern sea.Ji Yao lifted a thin layer of quilt and sat up from the mattress, dimly seeing the first ray of sunlight cast into the porthole, which happened to illuminate the pen holder on the desk.
The morning is very quiet, he likes the atmosphere, he likes to wake up in the quiet and natural morning.Ji Yao looked at her body, her clothes were wrinkled, there were fresh hickey marks on her chest, and there was a dull pain at the base of her thighs, but it didn't affect her.
(Mr. Qin Jiulang on Weibo, book group 121279140.)
Thinking of this, Ji Yao stood in a haze of haze, with one button left.Suddenly came back to his senses, shivered a bit, cursed prostitution in the daytime, hurriedly opened the door and went out to do routine cleaning in the ultra-clean cabin.
The sky outside is purple, and the side close to the sunrise tends to be bright yellow, and the stars that have not been extinguished are leaning against the top of the mountain, watching the sun drive them away indifferently.The sea water is illuminated, like gold leaf sprinkled on the cloisonné glaze, reflecting the brilliance.
Ji Yao walked into the dark purple halo, like a layer of fog, and huge spots of light appeared in the fog.There was silence on the beach, Ji Yao supported his waist to watch the sunrise, watched the whole process of the sun rising, a giant eagle hovered above his head, and birdsong rang out from the forest.
He felt that he had to take a photo of the sunrise, after all, in the era he lived in, he couldn't see the sunrise.He found a tripod and camera commonly used in topographic surveying and took a few photos. While looking at the photos, a group of people came running back from the other side of the beach.
"Hello, chief!" After saluting and shouting, the executive officers disbanded one by one, and Fu Zhong stayed behind, unloading his 20kg backpack and putting it at his feet.
Shanhua was also in the queue, bumping fists with Ji Yao as a greeting, carrying the backpack in his hand and walking to the cabin, he had to drink something.
"Come back after running five kilometers?" Ji Yao said to Fu Zhong, his voice was faint, like the morning sun, "22 minutes and 06 seconds."
The clothes on Fu Zhong's body were soaked, he wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and wandered on the edge of the beach a few times with his waist propped up. When his heartbeat calmed down, he found a clean place to sit next to Ji Yao.
"I can run for 20 minutes." Fu Zhong said, he took a sip from the water bottle from his backpack, squinted his eyes to look at the shiny sea water, and pointed to the other side of the beach, "I brought Professor Geng and those The assistants run together, they are behind, wait for a while."
Ji Yao smiled, rolled up his sleeves and stood beside him, helped him tidy his sweaty hair on his forehead, and said, "I know."
Fu Zhong raised his hand and grabbed Ji Yao's fingers, raised his chin and looked at him and asked, "Is your body feeling better? Is there any pain?"
"It doesn't hurt, it's fine." Ji Yao squatted down and touched Fu Zhong's cheek, and said with a smile, "Yang Qihua and Xiao Zhuoming will come over today, as well as some of the executives I transferred from the coordinate system. I'll take inventory when everyone is ready. , dispatch missions to the port and unknown buildings tomorrow."
Fu Zhong unbuttoned the elastic bands of his trousers and rolled them up a few times, exposing his calves. The sea breeze was blowing and it was cooler.Ji Yao sat down next to him and handed him the camera. Fu Zhong looked at those photos with a smile. They talked occasionally and joked with each other.
After seeing the last photo, Fu Zhong said something, Ji Yao laughed amused by him, buried his head on his shoulder, and punched him.Fu Zhong gave him a hug, and tilted his head to look at the distant sunlight, which was evenly sprinkled on the ground.
Professor Geng's students finally appeared in sight. Fu Zhong raised his hand to greet them. The two young men walked over panting with their waists pinched. They sat down to rest. The little assistant lay on the sand with his hands on his head, gasping for breath. .
"Boys, don't sit down when you're so tired after running, just walk around, get up and go around twice."
"No, leave me alone, I'm fine. That's it, I'll just sit for a while."
Fu Zhong patted them on the back, helped the tall assistant calm down, looked at the time, and told them that they ran for half an hour for five kilometers with bare hands: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard."
The tall assistant hugged his knees, sweat dripped down his cheeks, he wiped his face, let the light shine on his body, and said with a smile: "We are clerks, if we can't beat you physically, let us go. "
Ji Yao looked at the photos in the camera, listened to their conversation, laughed, and made a few jokes, and the assistants also responded with a smile. Although they knew that the commander was sitting next to them, they were no longer afraid.
The little assistant was lying on his back, and he took a breath. He raised his legs and looked at the sky above his head, which was getting bluer and bluer. Suddenly, he sang a song. He sang Richardmarx's "Right here waiting" and beat the beat with his toes.
The four people sitting side by side all sang along, Fu Zhong straightened his trouser legs, the sweat on his body was already dry, and his hair was still fluffy and dry.Rolling up her sleeves, Ji Yao raised her camera to take pictures of the people next to her, sitting or lying down, and some people shy away from the camera in embarrassment.
"It would be great if the draftsman was here." Someone said suddenly, the singing suddenly fell silent, and a cool wind blew from the sea.
The little assistant sat up, stretched his legs, and looked at the distant light silently. The light blocked the mountains, and the brighter the place, the more blurred it was.They didn't speak, and sat quietly, facing the rising sun on the sea, with four shadows behind them, each of them was surrounded by a halo.
"The sunrise is so beautiful." The tall assistant sighed, his eyes had to be squinted due to the strong light, and he raised his eyelashes to look at the sky obliquely above, with a faint glimmer of water in his eyes, "But he will see of."
"He will see it." Fu Zhong looked around at a small piece of sky above the sea level and said softly.Ji Yao sat beside him, silent, not saying a word.
"Come on, Chief Fu, Chief Ji, I'll take a picture of you two too." The tall assistant said suddenly, he stood up on the sandy ground, patted the dust off his buttocks, walked to the front and turned his back to the sun, Raise your camera and say hello to them.
The little assistant stood up, and he walked around behind the tall assistant, leaning on his knees to look at the camera lens.Ji Yao was a little embarrassed, smiled and waved to the camera lens to cover his face, telling them not to take pictures, but the two assistants just kept booing there.
"Take a picture." Fu Zhong gently touched Ji Yao with his elbow, but he didn't dare to make other movements.
Ji Yao brushed her hair and looked at him for a while, moved her eyelashes, then lowered her eyes and said with red ears, "It's up to you."
The tall assistant clapped and laughed and hugged the smaller assistant, and they hugged and danced like John and Maria.Ji Yao supported his knees, hooked his fingers, and sat with Fu Zhong.Fu Zhong turned to look at him, helped him push his hair behind his ears, and saw that the tips of Ji Yao's ears were translucent pink.
They all laughed.The tall assistant took several pictures in succession, including Fu Zhong helping Ji Yao tidy up the hair next to his ears, Ji Yao shrugging off Fu Zhong's hand shyly, and them sitting side by side with smiles at the end of their eyes. Such as spring mountains are not old, all in the eyebrows.
Shanhua leaned against the door of the plane, looked out with her shoulders slanted, and held a plate in her hand, which contained his breakfast.He could see the four people on the beach from a distance, as well as the sunlight falling on the sea.Mountain flowers like the light, and the sky covers the whole field.
"When did they get so good." Shanhua said casually, and looked back at Lin Cheng behind him, who came over with a plate of bread slices.
"Is it okay for you?" Lin Cheng glanced outside, squinted his eyes, leaned against Shanhua, stretched out his toes and stepped on Shanhua's shoes.
Shanhua touched the toe of Xialincheng's shoes, tilted her head and tilted her mouth, and said in a low voice, "I'm so sour."
Lin Cheng's ears were sharp, he heard Shanhua's words, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him, Shanhua happened to be looking at him too, her eyes shone like light hidden in them.Lin Cheng suddenly laughed, straightened his body and took a step forward, picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into Shanhua's mouth: "Eat well."
His voice was faint, and the expression in his brows and eyes was as pale as water.Lin Cheng is still the same Lin Cheng, from the first time Shanhua saw him to now, he hasn't changed at all.Shanhua looked at the piece of bread that Lin Cheng gave him, was stunned for a moment, and turned to catch up with his footsteps.
"The people on the coordinates will come later. I guess according to the commander's style, the mission will start tomorrow at the latest, to the port and buildings." Lin Cheng walked into the communication room and turned on his computer , Stand up, "I have something to do again."
"I've read the physical examination report. The bones in the legs haven't fully healed yet. Be careful. It's very troublesome to hurt the muscles and bones."
Before Shanhua could continue, Lin Cheng raised his arm to press the back of his head, raised his chin and kissed his lips.They kissed for a while before Lin Cheng let go, and turned to face the computer screen: "Is this the only way to shut your mouth?"
Shanhua smiled with the corner of her mouth twitched, leaned on the fender frame, propped her chin to watch Lin Cheng work, and said, "There are many ways to gag, not just this one."
Lin Cheng's hand typing on the keyboard paused for a moment, and he suddenly understood the meaning of coming to Shanhua. He stretched his eyebrows and smiled, and said lightly: "You are good or bad. Go and get me a box of candy, it's in the cabinet over there, fruit flavored Yes. Thank you."
Shanhua peeled a piece of candy and fed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Gag candy."
The electronic screen in the communication room suddenly lights up, and the prompt box of Xinghe pops up. Lin Cheng glances at it, gets up and leaves his seat: "There is a call coming in, I have to notify the commander. Please help me to click here, the computer Don't move around."
He hurriedly left the communication room by pressing the intercom, and then put the wireless connector on his ear.Lin Cheng opened the door, and a gust of wind rushed over from outside, and the yellow dust quickly covered his shoes.
Several planes were landing, and the giant eagle hovered overhead, making a long whistle.Lin Cheng glanced at the logo on the fuselage, it came from the coordinate system.Ji Yao and Fu Zhong came here together, and the strong wind blew Ji Yao's hair.
Fu Zhong was wearing a backpack, and the red dot was lighting up on the receiver. He looked at the distant sky and said, "The reconnaissance results of the drone have been sent, and I will deal with it."
Ji Yao nodded, always smiling warmly, indicating that he could leave.The plane descended from the gangway, and the white gown appeared in Ji Yao's vision.The wind was strong, and the dust was also heavy. Yang Qihua raised his arms to block the wind and sand, and came down with the box to shake hands with Ji Yao.
Lin Cheng went down to salute Ji Yao, and showed him the tablet: "The call connection from Tibet, 0632 wants to talk to you."
Ji Yao was quickly connected, and he walked into the communication room and asked Xinghe to switch out of the video screen.Professor Yang Qihua was about to go to the laboratory, when Ji Yao raised his hand to signal him to stop.Xiao Zhuoming glanced at Ji Yao, and then helped Yang Qihua lift the box in his hand.
A separate compartment was opened up in the communication room, and Yang Qihua sat down on a chair and patted the dust off his sleeves.Ji Yao was communicating with someone on the other end, and it sounded like the signal on the other side was not good, so Ji Yao always frowned and asked him what he said several times.
"Remember that silver thread you found on the old military uniform? The scholar who studied it is Professor Yang." Ji Yao said suddenly, he raised his eyes to look at Yang Qihua, and stopped the pen in his hand, "Now, Professor Yang Right in front of me, you can talk to him directly. Professor Yang, this is Mr. He who provided the 'No. [-]' specimen of unknown biological tissue. He has always hoped to communicate with you and hope you can help him answer some questions. "
Yang Qihua wiped the dust off his glasses, Ji Yao turned the screen to him, He Luan's face appeared on the screen, Xinghe scanned Yang Qihua's face at the same time.Ji Yao wrote a few words on the paper, looked at Professor Yang, lowered his eyes and continued to do his own thing, and said to He Luan in a gentle tone: "This is the president of the Global Union for the Study of Unknown Organisms in China, Professor Yang Qihua .”
When He Luan saw Yang Qihua for the first time, a feeling of horror crawled up from his back, like a ray of cold wind getting into his collar.Professor Yang Qihua looks exactly like the female officer just now, with the same thin face and narrow nose.
"Is there any problem? Sir." Yang Qihua noticed the change in He Luan's face and asked.
He Luan wiped the certificate of authority spread out in front of him with his fingers, his eyes fell on Yang Qilan's signature, and he pursed his lips and replied: "It's nothing, I just think you look like a person, Professor, and I can't tell the difference. No Excuse me, Professor, let's talk business."
"Who do you look like?" Yang Qihua interrupted He Luan and asked an irrelevant question, "Is it someone you know?"
He Luan opened his mouth, he didn't understand the meaning of Professor Yang's question.After thinking about it, He Luan clasped his fingers and said, "Lieutenant General Yang Qilan, deputy commander of the Chengdu Military Region, our temporary executive commander, I just met today. Just now."
Hearing this, Ji Yao raised her eyes, her eyes lingered on the electronic screen and Yang Qihua for a few moments, she continued to check the photos sent by He Luan without speaking, and used a red pen to draw out a black cone looming in the clouds.
Yang Qihua's eyes flickered, and he looked away, as if he was thinking about something.After a while, he tapped his fingernails and said to He Luan, "She is my...twin sister."
