When Chen Cheng pushed open the door of the ward, Yan Shuqing had already opened his eyes.

He was half leaning on the bed, with gauze wrapped around his head and shoulders, staring out the window for a moment, as if he had been sitting like this for a long time.

Chen Cheng walked in quickly, and when he heard the voice, Yan Shuqing raised his head, glanced at him, and smiled, "Are you here?"

This smile made Chen Cheng pause, staring at his pale face, he was speechless for a while.

He thought that after such a big event, Yan Shuqing might not be able to bear it, but at this moment, he was sitting here very calmly, as calm as if he wasn't the one who pushed the door with his arms covered in blood before.

As an outsider, he would have lingering fears when he thought of the scene at that time, let alone Yan Shuqing, who always puts the volume on his heart...

Chen Cheng felt a little uneasy, so he suppressed the expression on his face, and stepped forward to support him, "You still have injuries on your body, you can't sit up, lie down and rest quickly."

Yan Shuqing twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I know my own injuries well, I won't get in the way, and I won't die."

Chen Cheng couldn't help rolling his eyes at these words, "Yeah, your life is so tough, five stitches were stitched in the penetrating wound on your left hand, and the artery was directly injured by the bullet on your right arm, if you come to find me later, you will lose too much blood and die. "

"Isn't it time to die?" Yan Shuqing smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"When you die, it will be too late. You can count on your fingers how many times you have been injured during this period. If you run to me every three days, you might as well just stay in the hospital."

Speaking of which, Chen Cheng tugged at the quilt on Yan Shuqing's body, "Lie down for me, and don't come to me next time you die."

A helpless look flashed across Yan Shuqing's face, "I'm really fine, it's just a minor injury, if you don't believe me, I'll get up and walk a few steps for you."

As he said that, he broke away from Chen Cheng's wrist and made a gesture to get off the bed.

Only then did Chen Cheng realize that something was wrong, because Yan Shuqing hadn't mentioned Juanjuan's injury to him from the beginning to the end, and he knew better than anyone else how much Juanjuan was in his heart. How is it possible to avoid talking about this?

"Are you going to see Juan Juan?"

These words made Yan Shuqing pause, and then laughed, "I just feel that the room is a bit boring, and I just want to go out for a walk, why are you suspicious?"

As he spoke, he propped himself up and stood up, the corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly when he pulled his gauze-wrapped shoulder, and stood up with a calm expression, walked around Chen Cheng and was about to go out.

Chen Cheng blocked his way all of a sudden, his brows were tightly knit together, "Yan Shuqing, you have just been off the operating table for two hours, where do you want to go at this time!? You are so seriously injured, can you be a little rational, roll It’s just that his head was broken, he’s not serious at all, he’s already asleep in the medical cabin, you won’t be able to see him even if you go there!”

Hearing Juanjuan's injury, Yan Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief, the pain in his heart eased a bit, suppressing the soreness in his throat, he twitched the corner of his mouth pretending nothing happened, "I can rest assured that you will take care of me , don't worry about it, I won't disturb the little guy's rest at this time, I'm really just going out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while."

After saying this, he opened the door and was about to go out without even waiting for Chen Cheng to speak.

The calmer he was, the more Chen Cheng felt that something was wrong, and pulled him back suddenly, "Since you're not going to read the volume, what else is more important than the little guy? Shuqing, there's something wrong with you, what the hell is wrong with you?" Already!?"

As he said that, he blocked the door with his whole body, staring at Yan Shuqing, "From the time you entered the door covered in blood until now, there has been no explanation. I saved a long time and I don't even know how He Juan was injured. You have to make things clear today, otherwise don't think of going out of this door!"

Yan Shuqing pursed his lips tightly, the forced smile on his face completely disappeared and turned pale, he didn't say anything, just pushed Chen Cheng away and walked out, Chen Cheng grabbed him tightly, and the two immediately tore together.

Chen Cheng was concerned that Yan Shuqing was injured, so he didn't dare to use his strength at all, but he still blocked the door tightly. Yan Shuqing, who had just finished the operation and the anesthetic had not yet returned, was weak at this time and was not his opponent at all. The wound that split the palm.

Since Jin Heng's death, Chen Cheng has never seen him so stubborn and crazy again, and he didn't dare to let go of his hands for a while, "Yan Shuqing, are you fucking crazy! What is it that you don't care about?" run out!"

Yan Shuqing couldn't break free from his shackles, the calmness on his face was completely shattered, his face turned ashen, and he said in a hoarse voice, "It's too late... If I don't go, it will be too late..."

"Who?" Chen Cheng couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Yan Shuqing closed his eyes, his chest heaved up and down, "...Jin Heng."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Cheng showed a look of astonishment, and even looked at Yan Shuqing with some horror, "...what nonsense are you talking about, Shuqing, don't scare me, Jin Heng died a long time ago, where are you going to find him?" ?”

As he spoke, he was afraid that Yan Shuqing would burn his head, so he raised his hand to caress his forehead, but Yan Shuqing blocked it.

"Chen Cheng, I'm sober. I'm not talking nonsense. Jin Heng is still alive. I was with him when he was injured just now."

"...Shuqing, this joke is not funny at all, I think you are talking nonsense here because you are really stimulated by Juanjuan." As he spoke, Chen Cheng grabbed his wrist, forcefully trying to drag him to bed.

"Just now, Juanjuan and I were ambushed by people from the Yaxi Kingdom. At that time, I didn't have a gun on me, and there was a Juanjuan in my arms. Do you think that if someone hadn't helped me, we father and son would still be alive to see you."

One sentence made Chen Cheng's footsteps stop on the spot, and he turned his head with raised eyebrows.

Yan Shuqing breathed out, knowing that Chen Cheng would not let him go if he didn't make things clear today, so he was silent for a moment, and told everything that had happened since the reunion with Jin Heng in the hotel until now. said it.

"...In order to investigate this matter, I deliberately approached him, but it turned out that he had contacts with the enemy army. I was afraid that he would find out that I had tampered with the incense, so I hurried away with the scroll. Encountered an ambush by the enemy, if it hadn't been for his sudden appearance, I would have died now."

"I was the one who dragged him back on Canglan Mountain back then, which caused him to disappear for so long. This time, I can't leave him behind no matter what. I have to go find him now."

Faced with Yan Shuqing's persistently shaking pupils, Chen Cheng rubbed his forehead vigorously, feeling as if he had heard a fairy tale.

"...Shuqing, do you think this is possible? A random person is Jin Heng, and he has a relationship with the enemy country. I think you are blind and confused."

Yan Shuqing smiled bitterly and shrugged, "I know you don't believe me, and I don't expect anyone to believe me, but I am the one who married Jin Heng, and I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes. Maybe others can pretend to be him, but It is impossible for me to be fooled by a counterfeit casually."

"Okay, let's take ten thousand steps back, even if he is really Jin Heng, and he has already defected to the enemy country, how can his life be in danger? The enemy's target is you and not him. You ran to him with all your injuries is that useful?"

Yan Shuqing took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "...Chen Cheng, maybe I'm deceiving myself, but I still can't believe that he took refuge in Axi. When we met in the hotel, he could kill me. But he didn't, and later he had a lot of opportunities to attack me, but he didn't either. If he was really with those enemy soldiers, he wouldn't have saved my life today. He disobeyed orders several times, and the enemy The army will definitely not spare him, if it were you...can you leave him?"

Chen Cheng took a breath, raised his hands and rubbed his face, he knew that once Yan Shuqing made up his mind to do things, he would not change, but he had to say something.

"Shuqing, even if everything you said is true, don't forget that he has become our enemy now, and you can no longer use Jin Heng's attitude towards you to judge him now. If you insist on going, I will It can't stop you, but have you ever thought about what to do if all this is a trap?"

"In case this is a game set up by the enemy army who ambushed you and Jin Heng, they are waiting to lure you into the bait. Once you go, you will never come back."

One sentence made Yan Shuqing's feet stop, and he froze on the spot for an instant.

Chen Cheng pierced into his heart like a sharp sword, ruthlessly uncovering what he was trying to avoid.

He resisted doubting Jin Heng from the bottom of his heart, and he was even more unwilling to put the most despicable thoughts on his lover, but he had to admit that everything Chen Cheng said was exactly what he was most worried about.

If Jin Heng's approach was a deliberate trap from the very beginning, what should he do?

If he just ran out without hesitation, what would happen to the injured Juan in case of death?

A chill suddenly surged up in his heart, he squeezed his lips tightly, closed his eyes with difficulty, and the palm that was holding the handle slipped down. Did he walk out of this door...

***

A single thought can often change a lot of things.

Just like Yan Shuqing failed to step out of the door of the ward that day, and completely lost news of Jin Heng.

He originally thought that Jin Heng would come to him sooner or later, just like many times before, this strong man could always turn danger into a disaster and return to him safely, even if it was to continue to complete the task, but this time it was just like that night Like Canglan Mountain, he just disappeared again out of thin air without leaving a trace.

In just one month, this man suddenly appeared beside him like a dream come true, messed up his life, left countless mysteries behind, and then disappeared again without a sound.

Yan Shuqing couldn't accept this reality. When he woke up several times in the middle of the night, he suspected that this man named Duan Ze was just a sweet dream he had when he missed Jin Heng too much. It has become the "missing" that was buried on Canglan Mountain.

But Duanze left a deep trace in his life, reminding him that this man did come back.

Yan Shuqing once again fell into aimless search. The apartment where Duanze lived had long since been vacated, and there was no trace of it. After half a month, Juanjuan recovered and was discharged from the hospital, clutching at the hem of his clothes from time to time. He babbled and called "Zeze", as if he was asking his father where Uncle Zeze had gone.

Yan Shuqing couldn't answer, but she vaguely had an answer in her heart.

Since Jin Heng has contacts with the enemy, has he already returned to the country of Yaxi?If I set off to Axi Country by myself, would the chances of finding him be higher?

Yan Shuqing was taken aback when this idea popped into his head.

He knew how dangerous it would be for his identity to appear in the Axi Congress, and he also knew that finding someone on a completely unfamiliar planet by himself would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, but after suppressing this absurd impulse, the desire in his heart followed As the days went by, it became more and more intense.

But he still has a bit of reason, so he can only bury this impulse in the deepest part of his heart.

This day, it was already late at night after putting the little guy to sleep, he washed up, and just returned to the bedroom when the terminal on the table suddenly rang.

Hearing the familiar ringtone, he froze, then tapped his finger, the screen glowed fluorescently, and the face of Admiral Chen appeared in front of him instantly.

He stood up straight and raised his hand as a military salute, "Sir, Falcon 7712 Shu Yan is reporting to you."

General Chen hadn't seen him for a long time, and a smile appeared on his always stern face, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the improvement has improved a lot compared to the last time I saw you. Last time, the security mission to welcome the foreign historian was very successful, and several military officials are very satisfied. , Shu Yan, you have worked hard."

Mentioning the last mission, Yan Shuqing couldn't help but think of the reunion with Jin Heng again, curled his lips and said, "Sir, it's all a matter of the subordinate's job, and it's not my fault alone. "

Admiral Chen smiled, "Your boy is exactly what Han Ming said. He also said the same thing when he came to give me a mission report after completing the mission that day. It seems that you two have a tacit understanding in your actions."

Yan Shuqing hadn't heard the word "Han Ming" for a long time, and Yan Shuqing almost forgot about this person. When he thought of the nonsense he said before and the unhappiness between the two of them, a flash of embarrassment and embarrassment flashed across his face. Reluctantly, he smiled and changed the subject, "Sir, he contacted me in the middle of the night, wouldn't he just gossip with me? Is there any new mission this time?"

General Chen nodded, suppressed his smile, and showed a serious expression on his face, "That's true, but this mission is much more difficult than last time."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shuqing also became serious, frowned and said, "What task, what kind of tricky method?"

"The base received information that Yaxi developed a new type of anthrax virus, which is extremely destructive and infectious. It only takes a grain of dust to infect or even kill people within 1000 square meters. And because it is a new type of virus, there is no There is no specific drug for antibodies, and once it spreads, the consequences will be disastrous."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shuqing frowned fiercely, "These bastards like to play these shady tricks, so what do we need to do, are they going to bring these viruses to Cangjian?"

"Yes, Professor Josephine, the leading figure in the biological world, will come to Cangjian for an academic exchange in three days, and according to our information, this Josephine appears to be a lecturer in biology at W University, but in fact has been used by the Axi military department. The new type of anthrax virus this time is his masterpiece, and we have reason to suspect that he may carry a large amount of virus with him when he comes to Cangjian this time, so we must act first to prevent any virus from spreading in Cangjian."

After hearing this, Yan Shuqing pursed his lips and clenched his fists tightly, "Sir, what do you need me to do?"

"I want you to kill him." Admiral Chen narrowed his eyes coldly, "and not only to kill him, but also to ensure that the virus is sealed and brought back to Cangjian."

"As soon as the battleship lands, Josephine has already entered the territory of Cangjian. At that time, he may spread a lot of viruses by moving his fingers casually. safety, so this mission must lurk in the enemy country, and Josephine ended up in the territory of Axi."

"Yaxi territory?" Yan Shuqing's heart skipped a beat.

Admiral Chen didn't see any difference in his expression, so he nodded, "It's indeed very unfavorable to perform missions in the empire, but viruses are too special, and we have no other choice but to resort to this."

As he said that, he raised his head and stared at Yan Shuqing with deep eyes, "This mission may be more dangerous than the last time I went to Canglan Mountain, but I still trust you the most, Shu Yan, are you willing to accept this mission?"

Instead of directly ordering, he asked Yan Shuqing for his opinion, which was equivalent to giving him enough concessions and choices.

Yan Shuqing understood these principles, and there was an uproar in his heart for a while.

As General Chen said, the mission this time is full of dangers and extremely dangerous, but he knows in his heart that the real situation may be more complicated than the current guess. After all, he is operating in the empire, with unfamiliar environments, unknown dangers, and the The anthrax virus that may be leaked at any time... No matter what it is, it may kill people on the spot.

Although he is not afraid of death, he is no longer alone. He must shoulder the responsibility of a father. If he is still sensible, he should tactfully refuse this action.

But there is another voice in his mind that keeps echoing, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to Yaxi Country, and it is also the last way out for him to get Jin Heng back. He has thought about it for so long and waited for it for so long, and now the opportunity is here How could he be willing to refuse when it fell from the sky on his head like this...

The two emotions collided and intertwined in his mind, setting off a violent storm. After he was silent for a long time, he had already made a choice when he raised his head again.

Standing up straight, he raised his hand in a military salute, "This subordinate takes orders."

The four words fell heavily on the ground. He knew that going to Yaxi with his status would be tantamount to risking his life, but he couldn't control so much anymore. If he didn't enter the tiger's den, he would not catch the tiger's cub. For Jin Heng's sake, he had to stop it.

***

Early the next morning, he found a reason to entrust Juanjuan to Chen Cheng and went to the airport.

This time the operation was very secretive, and he couldn't take the battleship blatantly, so he disguised himself as a tourist, dressed in casual clothes, bought a ticket and boarded the civilian passenger spaceship, and headed straight to the distant Axi.

After taking over the task, General Chen sent him the location and coordinates of the operation, and reminded him that there would naturally be a partner to meet him when he arrived.

The financial and national power of Yaxi Kingdom should not be underestimated. A small civil airport was built magnificently. Yan Shuqing slept all the way on the spaceship. I bought the little rabbit suitcase for Juanjuan, and while yawning, I followed the mighty tour group to the entrance.

The dark green eye dye made Yan Shuqing's eyes often uncomfortable. Now standing in front of the system's probe, he blinked. The green covered the pupil membrane more evenly, and there was no trace of tension. The system scanned enough It took a full minute to let it go with a beep. At this moment, Yan Shuqing raised his head and saw Han Ming standing not far away.

That's why I found out that this mission partner is him again.

Han Ming wore a black T-shirt and jeans to look tall and straight. He smiled and waved to Yan Shuqing, and took the box in Yan Shuqing's hand like an old acquaintance.

"How about it, are you tired from the long flight? How about we go have a cup of coffee to refresh ourselves later?"

He was smiling all over his face and had a friendly attitude. Yan Shuqing smiled back and also never mentioned the task, "Okay, this is my first time in Yaxi, please ask the old driver to take me."

Han Ming laughed, and the two chatted as they walked. No one could see the purpose of their trip. They thought they were just two close friends, and they didn't attract the attention of anyone around them.

After some acting, the two boarded the aircraft, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment instantly.

At this moment, the two of them met for the first time after the quarrel that day. Thinking of the embarrassing entanglement between them, Yan Shuqing was the head of the two, afraid that Han Ming would say some nonsense again.

But the surprise is that Han Ming did not this time, but went straight to the point, "Shu Yan, you should have received the coordinates, this time we are operating at Josephine's laboratory, I have seen the route in advance, this building is 20 There are multiple floors, and the specific location of the laboratory is unknown, so we have to get in first and then look for them one by one."

Yan Shuqing nodded, tapped the terminal, and the holographic projection reflected the floor plan sent by Admiral Chen, "There are two teams of security guards at the entrance of the building, and they take turns every four hours. You have to catch the time difference between their shifts."

Han Ming also had this intention, "The security system of the entire building is very sound. Even if we avoid the security guards and enter the building, it may be difficult for us to take a single step. We must first get two fake identities."

After some discussion, the two initially settled on a plan of action.

In the middle of the night, the whole of Yaxi fell into darkness, and the tall buildings shone with a layer of quiet blue.

A team of security guards with sharp eyes and strong stature, carrying laser cannons, guarded the door one by one, blocking all the entrances so tightly that even a fly could not fly in.

After twelve o'clock, the bell rang, and when it was time for shift change, the entire group stood in a uniform line, leaving only four security guards stationed at the same place, and another team of security guards would arrive as scheduled in 30 seconds.

At this moment, two black shadows jumped into the two doors at the same time like lightning. One of the security guards seemed to have sensed it, and suddenly raised his head, but saw nothing. The next second, a hand was twisted from behind. his neck.

A gun barrel was raised in an instant. Before the security guard pressed the alarm, he kicked his gun over with one foot, and rode on his shoulders in the next second. With a twist of his legs, the man died instantly and fell to the ground.

Pulling their arms, Yan Shuqing dragged them behind the door and hid them. Yan Shuqing lifted his mask to reveal his face, quickly took off one of the people's clothes and put it on himself. With a sweep of the instrument in his hand, the pupil membranes, fingerprints and permissions were instantly copied Down, it becomes a thin film covering the fingertips and pupils.

At this time, another team of security guards had arrived, and only Yan Shuqing was standing there alone. After wearing a security uniform and specially imitating his posture, he was almost exactly like that person in the dark night.

"Hey, why are you alone?"

"That idiot went to shit before his shift was over."

The security guard burst into laughter, "Then you go and pull it too, leave it to us."

"Fart, I'm a jerk." Yan Shuqing emphatically cursed, covered half of his face with the brim of his hat, and walked into the building in front of their eyes.

Walking into the depths of the building, Han Ming, who also managed to sneak in, met him, and the two exchanged glances, like security guards on patrol, carefully searching the entire building.

But there are too many rooms in this building, the door looks exactly the same, there is not even a sign at the door, it is difficult to find the laboratory in a short time.

The two spent nearly an hour and still found nothing. There are still three hours before the next security shift. If they can't find the laboratory within this time, the bodies of the two security guards will definitely be found. Let's discuss it to save time. , two people split up.

Han Ming went directly to the top floor, and Yan Shuqing was in charge of the tenth floor, but after searching for a long time, there was no clean piece of paper from the laboratory on the first to tenth floors.

Yan Shuqing rubbed his forehead, and when he was about to go upstairs to support Han Ming, four patrolling security guards walked up to him, and he quickly dodged into the stairwell, when the four of them had already chased him.

He was leaning against the wall, waiting for that person to approach, and was about to kick him, and just as he raised his body, he touched something behind him, and a door suddenly rolled him in, and the security guard turned around quickly, but only See the empty walls.

Yan Shuqing seemed to have fallen into a deep hole, and rolled several times before falling to the ground. His limbs were scratched, and he hissed in pain, but opened his eyes wide when he raised his head.

Everything in front of me is exactly the same as the building just now, but the floor is displayed as "B1". The elevator next to it can go directly to the tenth floor underground, but this elevator cannot be seen on the first floor of the building.

It turns out that there is a universe inside this ghostly place, so could the laboratory be here?

Yan Shuqing's heart skipped a beat, and before he had time to think, he turned around and got into the elevator. At this moment, a group of "mummy" with bloody faces appeared out of nowhere, and rushed towards him.

This battle startled him, he turned around and kicked the two mummies out of the elevator, and frantically pressed the door close button, but as soon as the elevator door moved, more and more mummies rushed up, with bloody basins open. With a big mouth, waving withered arms, scrambling to get in.

The attack power of these gadgets is not strong. Yan Shuqing took out his gun and shot them one by one, but there were too many of them, and he couldn't deal with them alone.

At this time, the terminal suddenly rang, "Shu Yan, I searched all the upstairs, but I didn't find the laboratory."

Before Yan Shuqing could speak, he knocked off the head of a mummy with his fist. Hearing the voice, Han Ming asked anxiously, "Where are you now, and what happened to you!"

"Basement [-]! There is a mechanism on the wall behind the stairs on the west side, find a way to get down quickly! I'm surrounded by a group of mummified corpses!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the signal in the elevator was cut off. At this moment, several mummies crawled in. Yan Shuqing took off his coat and slammed it at them. The smell from above made the mummies boil. In an instant, the elevator doors closed slowly, and he kicked the last one out, and the elevator quickly descended with a "wow".

After finally getting out of danger, Yan Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his face and went directly to the basement ten. According to the layout of the building, the laboratory is probably hidden in the deepest part of the underground.

The elevator opened with a "ding" sound, and a pungent smell of disinfectant water hit the face. The entire underground area was dark, and the silence made one feel a little creepy.

Yan Shuqing took a deep breath, endured the numbness of the scalp, and walked slowly to the depths. At this moment, a piercing sound of "beep" sounded, and he was so startled that his hairs exploded. The neighing of the mummy and Han Ming's cry of pain, "Shu Yan... run! The mummy is going down... ah!"

With a scream, the signal was completely cut off, and Yan Shuqing's face suddenly turned pale.

There is only one elevator leading here, if the mummy gets down, he has nowhere to escape!

Thinking of this, he didn't have time to think, and ran to the depths like crazy. He had to take a gamble, as long as he found the laboratory and locked the biochemical door, there might be a glimmer of life!

The light in front of his eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he turned a corner, a white light pierced him, and he suddenly saw the closed door with the word "Josephine" written on it in Yaxi script.

There was a rustling sound in the distance, and the mummy was catching up!

He took a deep breath, ran over without hesitation, the door automatically detected that his pupils were slowly opening, and at this critical moment, something heavy hit him hard on the back of the neck.

He fell to the ground all of a sudden, a bunch of anesthetic needles pricked his shoulder, the strong drug effect spread rapidly, he struggled to stand up, but fell back heavily.

There was a blur in front of his eyes, and there was the sound of unhurried footsteps behind him. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a pair of black shoes, which finally stopped by his hand.

Yan Shuqing raised his head holding his last breath, and suddenly saw a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Oh it's you……"
