dark end

"Chief. 【26nbsp;】" There was a knock on the door, waking up the old man who had already fallen asleep in the room.

The old man opened his eyes. He is already in his 70s and looks far better than his peers. He looks like he is in his 60s. Although his hair is white, his complexion is red and the sky is full, showing his body good.

"Come in..." The old man got up and put on a military overcoat.Although it was just a fairly ordinary overcoat, far inferior to those modern clothes, the old man still wore it habitually.

The door was opened, and a young man in his 20s who walked in from the outside was wearing a military uniform.Judging by the rank on his shoulder, he is a lieutenant.

"Xiao Zhao, what's the matter so late?" The old man smiled when he saw the person coming.

This is his bodyguard. Although he is very young, he is quite good in all aspects. The old man trusts this young man very much.It was also one of the few people who could disturb his sleep at such a late hour.

"Chief, just now there is news that there are some problems in the experiment." The guard named Xiao Zhao has a trace of anxiety on his face, which is quite rare. As a guard, he has been with the old man since he was 19 years old. Until now, what wind làng haven't seen?Why are you so impatient?

"What?!" The old man didn't pay attention at first, but he suddenly realized the next moment, he got up from the bed immediately, and then quickly walked towards the door, "Go! Go and see! Didn't you say that everything is going well? ?”

Just three hours ago, the old man just received the news that everything was normal and smooth there, so he fell asleep with peace of mind, but why did it suddenly become like this?

The old man hurriedly put on his clothes, and then went downstairs under the leadership of the security guard Xiao Zhao. On the way, he could see more than a dozen other security guards in military uniforms appearing, and then a group of people got into three cars.Going towards a certain laboratory in the dark.

A lot happened that night, the laboratory exploded and leaked lu, at the same time the old man was forced to evacuate by a group of guards, and at the same time, an army under the control of the old man also directly left the hellish imperial capital.

Dong dong dong, knocking on the door woke up the sleeping old man. He woke up from the dream just now, and then got up from the bed with some headaches. He checked the time, and it was more than three o'clock in the morning.

"Come in!" The old man shouted hoarsely.

"Chief!" The person who came in was an officer with the rank of colonel in his 40s.Looks pretty capable.He looked at the old man with a serious and respectful expression.

"What's going on at this time?" The old man often dreamed about what happened back then, especially when he personally killed the guard who had been with him for many years, just because he was bitten.

After more than three months, he was actually quite tired. If it wasn't for the recently lost granddaughter who was brought back safely, he might have been unable to support it long ago.

"Chief, I don't know if I should report something to you." The officer seemed hesitant.

"Tell me! When did you become such a mother-in-law?" This officer is a confidant trained by the old man, so sometimes he doesn't need to pay too much attention to some rules.

"Chief, there's been some restlessness in the base recently. I don't feel right." The officer's surname is Zhao Zhongyi, just like his name. Over the years, he has been the old man's most trusted subordinate and absolute confidant.

At the same time, he was also the father of Xiao Zhao, the guard back then. Even though he watched his boss kill his son, he didn't have any resentment, but tried his best to take the old man away from the imperial capital that was trapped in hunluàn.

"Oh?" The old man was not surprised, in fact, he felt it too.Recently, there has been an atmosphere of uneasiness in the base.

I can't tell the specifics, but the old man has a sense of danger, as if something is about to happen.

However, after decades of ups and downs, he survived the national turmoil, the Great Cultural Revolution, and the purge of power after the death of the ancestor.Even the hellish imperial capital more than three months ago.Didn't he come out safe and sound?

So he is not afraid, and he has the most powerful force in his hands, he is confident that nothing will go wrong.

"Chief, Governor Qi has been active recently. He has met with Lieutenant General Kai and General Chen of the Southern Military Region several times in the past week. I'm afraid..."

Governor Qi is now the nominal supreme commander of this base. He used to be the governor of the Southern Province, an ambitious figure.Lieutenant General Kai and Major General Chen are now the two largest generals with real power in the Southern Military Region.One is the commander, and the other is the commander who controls the most powerful First Army.

There is something wrong with the frequent meetings between them.

"It's okay, I don't know what those little guys are thinking! They think that I, an old man, are getting in the way here! Hmph! It's only been a while, and they have forgotten the country and the party! Don't they Do you really think that the country is dead!"

The old man was a little angry, and then coughed loudly. He just caught a cold two days ago, and he hasn't recovered yet.

"But chief, since you know their tricks, why..." Zhao Zhongyi didn't understand what his boss was thinking.

Now that you know that someone is restless, you should rule it out in advance!Are you waiting for the opposite side to come to the door?

"Zhong Yi, how long have you been with me?" The old man coughed twice. It seems that his body is getting worse day by day due to lack of rest, and his face has more wrinkles, and his white hair has changed from white to white within a few months. Cheng is now all white.

"Looking back at Chief, it has been 17 years since I was 28." Zhao Zhongyi didn't know why the old man asked this question, but he still told the truth.

"You started as my guard, and then you have reached this point with your own efforts. It's a pity, if it weren't for the outbreak of this big crisis, I would have you go to the military division to take over Kai Liang's position, and then wait You can go to huā in a few years."

With huā on your shoulders!This is the rank of a general!What the old man said obviously meant that if it hadn't been for the outbreak of this global crisis, he would have prepared to train the middle-aged officer in front of him.

Zhao Zhongyi didn't know why the old man said these words, although these words are meaningless now, but he is still very grateful for the old man's promotion for so many years.

"This country has suffered too much loss. How many people are still alive in the once great country? Zhongyi, I can no longer watch so many people die before my eyes!"

The old man's words made Zhao Zhongyi silent for a while. Of course he knew what the old man wanted to express, but he wanted peace, but would others give him peace?
