The closer we get to our destination, the more embarrassing the scene outside the car window becomes.
The launch base occupies a vast area, and the location must be remote enough, so naturally it can only be chosen in an economically underdeveloped area. As the woman drove deeper and deeper, the prosperous city had long since disappeared; when she rushed through the towns and countryside, she saw dilapidated and disrepaired areas. Clothes are still hanging outside the low mud house, and plastic bags are soaked in black wastewater on both sides of the road. The old man is sitting on the roadside doing handicrafts while scolding the children next to him who are not wearing pants. The skin on his face is so dry that it seems like there is no trace underneath. flesh.
There always seemed to be a faint layer of gray mist between heaven and earth, whether it was pollution or despair. At night, she felt more comfortable: most of the outlines were hidden, and in the dark and silent night, there were only distant mountains. He and Shuxing looked at the world in silence.
On the screen of a mobile phone in the car, Maruchinge's running back was still as smooth as ever; however, even in the darkness, it could be seen that the clothes on his back were all soaked through.
In the distance, Han Suiping used map satellites to instantly send the location and image of Maruchingge to the girl's stolen mobile phone, so that she would not be lost due to speed or accidents.
The two have been running for forty hours without eating, sleeping or resting. They are now more than 350 kilometers away from the satellite launch base - the rocket carrying the satellite will be launched at ten o'clock in the morning, and it is now four o'clock in the morning. .
Deducting the one hour spent infiltrating the base and installing the communicator, this meant that they still had five hours to complete the 350 kilometers, which was theoretically enough, and they could even take some time to catch their breath.
"Let's stop for a while," Nuyue said into the earphone, "If you keep running, you will be exhausted and a useless person by the time you reach the base. What's the use of it?"
"I agree." Han Suiping's voice intervened.
This is the fourth time tonight that Nuyue persuades Maru Qingge to rest. The first three times he was rejected outright - but this time, the figure on the screen slowly slowed down until it stopped completely, and sat down on the ground with a thud. .
"Such a small distance... In the past, it didn't count at all." In the earphones, his voice was hoarse and almost dry: "Is there any water?"
"Yes, wait a minute." Nuyue stepped on the accelerator and sped up.
The communication between the three of them was all completed by Han Suiping's manipulation of the communication base station signals; they did not sleep for forty hours, and he also monitored and coordinated in real time from a distance for forty hours. Han Suiping occasionally recorded his own images When the signal is projected on the mobile phone screen, it is impossible to tell where he is now, it is always dark; the face illuminated from bottom to top by the desk lamp always scares the girl.
When she approached, the pale-faced Maruzinge was sitting on the side of the road at night, with a row of cypress trees behind him rustling in the wind; behind the cypress trees, there were patches of dark fields with no end. He had already taken off his clothes. He took off his goggles from his jacket, revealing the long, thin and toned muscles of a runner, which were slightly shiny with sweat in the moonlight.
Nu Yue handed him two bottles of mineral water, sighed and said, "Take a rest, you are smelling of sweat."
Maru Qingge raised his face and poured a large bottle of water down; the water wet his hair, splashed on his shoulders, and fell into his mouth. Han Suiping's voice came from the mobile phone : "I think you can take twenty minutes to rest... After all, you still have to sneak in after arriving at the base. If you look too miserable, people will easily become suspicious."
Thinking of this, Nuyue felt uncomfortable. She asked Han Suiping if she could also sneak into the base to help, but she got an answer that made her unhappy: judging from the employee information, there were not many female employees in the base. , most of them still work in supporting units, such as hospitals and hotels; it would be difficult for her to get into the core department if she gets involved.
"Girls are not good at science and technology," Han Suiping comforted her at that time, "that's why there are so few people."
"Let me warn you in advance," Nuyue replied: "If you go to the Twelve Realms and still say such things, you will be taught how to be a human being by the female evolution."
This sentence shocked him at the time, and he didn't dare to say a word for dozens of minutes.
"also,"
Maruzinge's voice brought her back to her thoughts, "I can just take a quick wash. Maybe it's because my body is sweating so much that it smells so bad. I always feel like there are little bugs flying around me."
As he spoke, he waved vigorously at his side - maybe it was because there were so many mosquitoes in the countryside, and Nuyue remembered that he seemed to have said something similar when he was slowing down on the mountain road yesterday.
After he came back with the empty water bottle and changed into dry clothes, he only slept for ten minutes before Nugo woke him up again. Maruchinge was obviously still dazed and was stunned for a few seconds before he realized where he was. , what to do? Without saying a word, he put on his goggles again and hit the road.
"Come on," Nu Yue said to him in the earphone, "at ten o'clock in the morning, we can start on the way back. Then you can have a good sleep in the car, for a few hours. "
In fact, she herself was so tired that she fainted, but she still couldn't rest on the way back. There was only one period of time where she could rest for a while - after Maruzingo entered the base and before he came out.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and they gradually approached the satellite launch base as scheduled. The countryside shrouded in gray fog had long been forgotten, and the flat and wide road cut straight into the canyon, with roadside signs , warning signs, and shadows gradually began to appear in the surrounding facilities of the aerospace city; Maru Qingge slowed down in front and said from the headset: "Women's Crossing, the first inspection checkpoint is just ahead. Judging from the road signs, it is close to I still have one kilometer to go.”
Nuyue calculated the distance between her and her in her mind, and then replied: "Okay, just wait for me for a while, I'll be there soon."
Starting from the first level, she was about to hand over the car to Maruchingge and let him enter the base alone. Han Suiping had already stored his fake information and license plate number in the satellite base's employee system to cope with peripheral inspections. The outpost is enough.
Maruzinge will then lie and claim that his wallet has been lost and his ID has also been lost, but his personal information and facial recognition information are already in the system, which is enough to prove that he is a base employee. Even if necessary, Maruzinge He will also ask the checkpoint to call the base to confirm his identity - Han Suiping can intercept the communication signal, and the person who calls will hear his voice.
"Okay, I saw you," Nuyue slowed down the car, and the figure on the roadside in the distance waved to her. She approached the car to the roadside, and suddenly felt that the car was a little too quiet, and she couldn't help but He called out: "Han Suiping?"
A long, steady breath answered her.
"Han Suiping!" Nuyue raised her voice a bit.
Han Suiping took a breath, "Ah?" and his voice returned to the earphones: "What? Who... Oh, oh. Did I fall asleep just now?"
"Don't sleep at such a critical time. We have reached the first level." Nuyue became anxious, "Go and wash your face!"
"I don't have water here..." Han Suiping muttered, sleepiness still thick in his throat. "Wait a minute... I seemed to have accidentally let go of the satellite signal when I fell asleep just now. Let me look for you... …”
While he was talking, Nuyue had already stopped the car beside Maruchingge. In the early morning, there was not even a car on the road heading in this direction, but she was not afraid of being seen; she grabbed her mobile phone, backpack, and got out of the car. She got out of the car and gave him the driver's seat. Maruzinge closed the door, waved to her, and drove out onto the road ahead.
"Oh, I found it. It was in front of the first inspection checkpoint. I saw his car." Han Suiping couldn't help but become a little nervous and said as if to make a promise: "I'm ready, as soon as they call , I can intercept the signal at any time."
It only takes one minute for Maruchingo to reach the checkpoint.
Although Yue Yue's speed was not as fast as Maruzingo's, for her, one kilometer was only a few minutes away. She soon saw the silver car from a distance. Maruzingo stopped the car and checked it. Outside the outpost, people got out of the car and were talking to a soldier-looking man. In addition, there were several fully armed men who opened the trunk and doors of the car, and even the bottom of the car. Ground inspection.
In the headset, he was explaining to the people checking the checkpoints that he was an employee of the base. He had lost his wallet for some reason and now he had to rush back to the base... Obviously, everything was going according to plan.
"You can call the base to confirm my identity..."
"No need." Everything went smoothly as expected - after the soldier scanned Maruzingge's face with a machine, he clicked on the screen a few times, then nodded to him and said, "Well, are you here?" In the system, you are a second-level researcher? But you must quickly apply for a new certificate when you go back. This will not happen next time."
He shouted to several colleagues: "Has the car been inspected?"
"There's no problem with the car." Several other people also came back, "You can pass by."
Nuyue, who was secretly lying in the grass on the roadside, couldn't help but let out a low sigh of relief after hearing this.
The silver car restarted, passed the checkpoint, and continued to drive on the road ahead. She couldn't go any further. The electrified protective net in front blocked the way, and neither the cameras nor the searchlights were released. Anyone who dares to get close - the only entrance is the road that Maruzingo just passed.
She squatted in the grass, listening to the occasional conversations between Maru Qingge and Han Suiping, while watching the silver car gradually become smaller and about to disappear from sight.
"Wish me luck," Maruchingge said with a slight smile.
The next second, there was a loud explosion on the distant highway. A broken silver car was thrown up like a matchbox, and blazing fire shot straight into the sky.
