In his sleep, he felt that the speed of the car had slowed down. Xu Ziling immediately got up from the car seat and looked around through the car window.

Major Tan in the front cab noticed Xu Ziling's movements and glanced at him in the rearview mirror, "Are you awake? I'm about to call you, we've reached the end of the land."

"arrive?"

I looked at the time, it was already midnight at midnight.Surrounded by high walls, a few prefabricated houses that are standard on construction sites, and a lot of construction vehicles, Xu Ziling feels that this place is no different from domestic construction sites.

Major Tan drove the car to an open space, turned off the engine, and said to Xu Ziling, "Get out of the car."

"Okay!" Xu Ziling got out of the car without asking any questions.

"Come with me."

After getting out of the car, Major Tan asked Xu Ziling to follow, and walked towards one of the prefab houses he had just seen.

To Xu Ziling's surprise, Major Tan did not take him into the house, but waited a little closer, spared the house, and walked towards the back.When he got to the back, Xu Ziling realized that the place was much bigger than what he had seen. When he entered, he happened to be facing the house, and his sight was blocked, so he couldn't see the back.

Standing here at this time, he realized that there were many houses like this behind him. Major Tan led him through four or five houses, and finally stopped in front of one house. "It's been so long, you haven't eaten. You must not be in the mood to eat, so I prepared some dry food and water for you first. Get them first, and you can eat some on the plane later."

After his reminder, Xu Ziling remembered that he hadn't had dinner yet, he had something to worry about, and he didn't feel hungry, but he still had to thank him for his kindness.

"Thank you. It's because you guys are so thoughtful and in such a hurry that you didn't think about this at all on the way."

"It's okay, the higher-ups gave us the news, and we knew that you were on your way, so I thought you must have not prepared these things. It's good that you can use them. The plane is right behind, and people are waiting, so you can go immediately after you get the things. Let's go." Major Tan said to Xu Ziling while taking out the key to open the door.

Taking the dry rations and water that had been prepared for military use, without any delay, the two of them left the house again and walked to the back.

Walking to the back, there is a large open space with several lights on the ground. Under the illumination of the lights, Xu Ziling saw a civilian Mi-17 helicopter parked in the center of the open space. Someone is waiting there.

Major Tan led him straight to the helicopter. At this time, the pilot inside the plane also saw the two of them, waved at them, got down from the cockpit, and stood beside the plane and waited.

"Old Wang, I want you to work the night shift again."

When he got closer, Major Tan said loudly to the pilot standing beside the plane.

"Haha... It's not like you don't know that flying a plane here is sometimes safer at night than during the day." The pilot was a rough-faced man with a typical Chinese face. Hearing Major Tan's words, he answered him with a big smile. , looked at Xu Ziling behind him again, seemed to be surprised at his youth, a little unbelievable, "Is this the guest?"

"Yes! This is the lion. I will leave it to you." Major Tan answered the pilot, and then turned to introduce Xu Ziling, "This is the pilot who is responsible for sending you off. We all call him Old Wang. You can call him the same. .”

Xu Ziling stretched out a hand and shook hands with Old Wang, "Then I will trouble Old Wang."

Old Wang's hand was strong and strong, and he shook Xu Ziling's outstretched hand tightly, "What's the trouble, it should be. Since you're in a hurry, get in the car and set off right away."

Turning around, he asked Major Tan again: "Old Tan, do you have anything else to do? Just drive if you don't have anything to do."

"It's all right, be careful on the road! Lion, take care. I hope to see you again when I return home."

Xu Ziling smiled after hearing what he said, and then solemnly saluted him. "We will meet again someday, and we will only rest when we get drunk."

"Okay...okay... I'll rest when I'm drunk, I'll rest when I'm drunk..." Major Tan seemed a little excited when Xu Ziling saluted him, and returned a standard military salute to Xu Ziling, muttering non-stop.

.................................................

On the plane, Xu Ziling chatted with Lao Wang not long after, and he knew that this so-called mineral exploration company was just a subsidiary company established in Afghanistan in the name of a domestic company by the army for strategic needs.All the personnel who appear to be employees used to be soldiers with various skills in the army. They usually do various mineral exploration work in various parts of Afghanistan. Once there are tasks or other needs, they will immediately become the warrior.

Just like Lao Wang himself, in normal times, he is responsible for transporting some important exploration tools, and once there is a mission, he will be responsible for picking up special guests like Xu Ziling.

"Old Wang, how long has it been since you came back to China?" Xu Ziling rested for a few hours before, but now he is full of energy, thinking that this idle time is also idle, so he simply started chatting with Lao Wang.

"Eight years!" Lao Wang's voice was full of emotion, "When I came out, my son was in elementary school, and now he is in high school."

People like them stationed abroad, for the sake of safety, have basically been out for several years. Xu Ziling also knows it, but he did not expect that Lao Wang has been here for eight years.

"I was in the army and was selected to be sent here. I told my family that I was discharged from the army and found a job abroad, but I have been here for eight years. When I go home, I still don't know if I can recognize my son. But even if this is the case, I am willing, just to send guests like you a few more times. Originally, people like us are changed every four years, but in the company, except for special circumstances, no one is willing to We went back in [-]. Because we are now civilians, as long as we go back, we will have nothing to do with the green uniform, so everyone wants to stay here for a few more years.”

"However, I have to go back after I finish this time. According to the regulations above, people like us can only have a maximum of eight years. Therefore, I can't send you off in the future."

Lao Wang's tone was very flat, but it sounded very sad, which made Xu Ziling feel bad.I had no choice but to change the subject: "Old Wang, I've been listening to you for so long, but I still don't know where you are from?"

"I'm from Jiangnan Province. We have a lot of beautiful girls there. You haven't fallen in love yet, have you? I'll leave you an address later, remember to find me when you go back, and I'll introduce you to us from Jiangnan. I'll give it to you, girl. Haha..."
