glory [rebirth]

"I'm really fine, I'm fine now..." Mu Qingtong lay on the bed, facing the wall and making a phone call, "Why don't you believe it?"

Jiang Yao deliberately suppressed his voice over there, and said, "How much do you weigh now?"

"..." Mu Qingtong wrapped her index finger around the headphone cable, and did not answer Jiang Yao after a long time.

"You turn on the front camera, and I'll take a look at you." Jiang Yao said.

"No..." Mu Qingtong lazily refused.

"Are you still under 60?" Jiang Yao sighed, and after waiting for a long time, Mu Qingtong still hesitated, "Or are you losing weight again?"

"I..." Mu Qingtong rubbed his lower abdomen, not too emotional, "I'm 58 now, not much worse..."

"You have been here for more than three months. How can this weight work? If you really can't eat, ask Schwartz to buy you some fruit. You can also bring a few to school, put them in your bag, and eat them after class. Two bites." Jiang Yao persuaded.

"Hmm..." Mu Qingtong's muscles were a little stiff, so he turned over, "I usually eat a lot, but I just can't gain weight. There's nothing I can do..."

The distance between the two is too far, and they haven't seen each other for two months. Jiang Yao can only learn about Mu Qingtong's recent situation through video and phone calls.

Mu Qingtong has been in poor health since she became pregnant, and there is nothing he can do about it.

"Jiang Yao..." Mu Qingtong suddenly called his name.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yao asked softly.

"It's nothing..." Mu Qingtong lay on the bed, his tone sounded very low, "It's just that sometimes, I don't know why, I always feel sad, it's very strange, I can't find the reason..."

"..." Jiang Yao was silent for a while, and comforted, "Many people do this when they are pregnant, and it will be fine after this period of time."

"Yeah." Mu Qingtong replied to show that he understood.

"How is your mother?" Jiang Yao asked.

"It's still the same, but it hasn't deteriorated, and it's generally good." Mu Qingtong replied.

After that, the two were silent for a while, and the even breathing sounds of the two people overlapped each other in the earphones, like their continuous thoughts.

"Jiang Yao, I miss you so much..." After a while, Mu Qingtong said into the microphone, "When will you be back?"

Jiang Yao was thinking about it, and answered after a few seconds: "At least one month."

"Well, don't worry, you pay attention to safety on the front line, and come back after the battle, I'll just wait for you." Mu Qingtong said, "The latest battle situation is not reported on TV, it is too vague, what is going on with you? How is it?"

"Two-thirds of it has already been captured. My original plan was to solve the problem within three months, but the situation in the central region is more complicated than I imagined... This year's military budget may be overrun. We have to find a way to get back evenly." Jiang Yao said, "The intelligence department will go through a reshuffle, and it is half prepared now. When the battle is almost over, we will use both approaches."

"Well, okay..." Mu Qingtong said, "You are really amazing."

"Why do you say that?"

"You are really good..." Mu Qingtong smiled, as if Jiang Yao was right in front of his eyes, "I don't understand politics, but I read the news every day, your approval rate is so high, and the Ministry of National Defense Things... How should I put it, I just think you are amazing."

Since Jiang Yao was reborn, he has been keeping a low profile and accumulating strength, in order to catch Herman by surprise now.He has worked hard for more than ten years, and the rewards are as he expected.

For now, the most important thing is to use the informant to bring down Herman.

"Do you like me?" Jiang Yao's voice was lowered, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, but his tone was extremely certain.

Mu Qingtong laughed "hehe" a few times, and Jiang Yao couldn't help curling his lips on the other end of the phone.

"I like it." Mu Qingtong admitted generously.

Jiang Yao wore a Bluetooth headset, sat on an office chair, turned to the window, and stared at the endless wilderness under the stars.

"I want to see your belly, didn't you say it's a little protruding?" Jiang Yao said suddenly.

"Ah?" Mu Qingtong thought for a while, then lifted his clothes to look for himself, and said embarrassingly, "It's not good-looking, it's like gas from eating too much, a small bag..."

"What do you describe?" Jiang Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Wait a minute..." Mu Qingtong put on her slippers and went to the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yao waited for a long time but did not hear Mu Qingtong speak.

Mu Qingtong just picked up the earphones and said, "I was undressing just now."

Jiang Yao: "..."

"I turned on the camera, you pick it up..."

Jiang Yao lowered his head and pressed the request to accept the video call.

After a while, the image appeared on the screen, it was the huge mirror in the bathroom.But only Mu Qingtong's naked upper body was in the picture, he was wearing loose home pants, and his head was still out of the range of the camera.

"Did you see that, Jiang Yao?" Mu Qingtong asked.

"I saw it."

Then Mu Qingtong turned around, facing the mirror sideways, and pulled down his pants a little.

Jiang Yao held his breath and stared at Mu Qingtong's lower abdomen, where it really protruded, as if a small grapefruit was hidden.He couldn't help but reached out and touched the screen, but when he touched the capacitive screen, he reacted and retracted his hand again.

"Jiang Yao?" Mu Qingtong tentatively called out his name, "Why don't you speak?"

"Come closer and let me see." Jiang Yao tried his best to control his emotions, but there was still a tremor in the ending.

Mu Qingtong felt a little funny about his reaction, so he turned the camera over to take a look at his lower abdomen: "Is that so?"

Jiang Yao didn't speak for a long time again, and Mu Qingtong patiently held up the communicator and patted his lower abdomen without urging him.

"This is my child?" Jiang Yao saw Mu Qingtong's belly clearly for the first time. Even though there was a screen away, he felt that the picture was right in front of his eyes.

"Whose is not yours?" Mu Qingtong said speechlessly.

"No, that's not what I meant." Jiang Yao realized that his words were ambiguous, and quickly explained, "I, I am..."

Mu Qingtong smiled and said: "You still said that I was stuttered by Xiao Hei, don't you do the same?"

Jiang Yao was choked by Mu Qingtong and had nothing to say, so he could only say: "Put on your clothes quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

When Mu Qingtong came in, he turned up the temperature in the bathroom. He didn't feel cold at the moment, but he turned off the camera and obediently put on his clothes.

Jiang Yao looked at the time while he was getting dressed, and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep, you have class tomorrow."

"Well, you should go to bed earlier, don't be too tired...you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself." Mu Qingtong said.

"Remember to eat more and stop losing weight, um... good night."

"Okay, good night." Mu Qingtong said with a smile.

Mu Qingtong was about to turn off the communicator when he suddenly received a new message.

【Jiang Yao: -3-】

[Mu Qingtong:? ? ? 】

[Mu Qingtong: What is this? 】

But Jiang Yao didn't reply. Mu Qingtong put away the communicator strangely, went back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. After a while, drowsiness swept over him, and he fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Jiang Yao, who was at the headquarters of the Thorn Legion, frowned, thinking that Damian had told him before that this was a kiss expression. He finally sent it once, why couldn't Mu Qingtong understand it?

Wait for Damian to come back and trouble him.Jiang Yao said silently.

"Your Highness!" There was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Come in." Jiang Yao said immediately.

Holding a piece of paper in his hand, a major hurried up to Jiang Yao: "Wata City suddenly exploded and fell."

"What?" Jiang Yao regained his energy in an instant. He stood up, took the text message and scanned it roughly, and said seriously, "Send the nearest legion to reinforce."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Also, notify the officers above the brigadier general level to call an emergency meeting immediately."

The building of the Thorn Legion headquarters was brightly lit, and the guards stood erect at the door with guns in hand.

Off-road vehicles with military badges parked below one after another. Everyone walked hurriedly, with anxious expressions on their faces.

Central region, coordinates unknown.

Damian lay on the rough cot, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He has been undercover for nearly two months. According to the informant information sheet provided by Yirmo, he has successfully found half of the candidates, and he has audio evidence in his hand to prove that someone from the Intelligence Department was behind it. go out.

After agreeing on the time for the meeting, he tried his best to get to the designated place, but he waited for half an hour and didn't see anyone. For safety reasons, he had to go back home.

But he couldn't trust Chen Pi, the only one who was free to come and go.

In order to avoid fighting directly with the Thorns Legion, Damian found a weapon modification job, which gave him a relatively free day and a lot of time to do his own things.

After he left the fang team, did the remaining 16 people receive new missions? Are Nightingale and Doudou's injuries healed?

Is the team size still 16 people...

Damian didn't know.

He is dealing with enemies every day, taking on another identity, and over time it is like schizophrenia.The only time to relax a little at night is when he goes to sleep, when he thinks about Schwartz.

Is everything okay with Schwartz?

In order not to expose his identity, all traces around him were erased. Before, he could still look at Schwartz's photos, talk to him, and send messages, but now he has completely lost contact.

But Jiang Yao should appease Schwartz?

Damian sighed, turned over, and unconsciously drew an "s" on the sheet with his fingers.

It would be nice to finish things early and go back...

Damian counted the days, and in four days it will be the time for the second connection. If the connection person still doesn't come this time, he has to send the audio file out by himself...

I don't know if I can get out of here smoothly.

In the headquarters building of the Thorn Legion, general-level officers were discussing the next specific actions fiercely. Jiang Yao looked at them coldly, saying a word from time to time, summarizing, or refuting.

They were busy all night in the conference room, and there was a black mark in everyone's eyes.

The war has reached a fierce stage, and no one dares to relax.

Tens of thousands of guns and ammunition are being consumed, and the originally desolate area is even more devastated.

People are injured every day, and people are sacrificed every day. When the head of the military department held the ashes of the martyrs and knocked on the door of the family members, they saw their collapsed expressions without exception.

Some cried, some slumped, and some froze in place on the spot.

No one can accept the sudden death of a relative. Even if he has been doing this kind of work, the person in charge cannot help being moved. Their eyes cut him like sharp knives, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Yao's iron-blooded wrist is a double-edged sword. While solving the problem quickly, he paid a too high price.

Because the whole world is unified by the Anbar Empire, there is no so-called political position issue, so citizens' speech has always been relatively free.

This has given the media a lot of power to speak, and Jiang Yao's tough style is bound to be criticized by them. This is not only detrimental to the morale of the army, but also very detrimental to his future governance.

In order to control public opinion, Jiang Yao controlled the media from the very beginning, pinching the throats of the opponents and making them unable to speak out.

And these things are unknown to Mu Qingtong.

Four days later.

"Xiao Hei!" Mu Qingtong yelled in the bedroom.

"What, what's the matter!" Schwartz hurriedly responded.

Mu Qingtong was wearing a winter military uniform, facing Schwartz sideways, touching his lower abdomen, and said nervously: "Please help me see, will this be obvious?"

"..." Schwartz leaned over, looked left and right for a while, but didn't feel any difference from usual, and shook his head, "No, I didn't feel it. Besides, you still have to wear a coat."

"Is that so..." Mu Qingtong still looked a little apprehensive, worried that it would affect the development of the fetus, he didn't dare to fasten the belt tightly, so he had to fasten the belt loosely on the premise that the pants would not fall down.

The eyelet on the belt has moved forward by three slots. Mu Qingtong touched his lower abdomen, sighed, and said, "There is air conditioning in the classroom, so you can't wear a coat... Well, it's fine, as long as you don't see it."

Schwartz nodded: "One more, two more months!"

Mu Qingtong just smiled and didn't answer.

Fifteen weeks into the pregnancy, his belly was clearly growing, and the pregnancy reaction was gradually easing.Although the taste of the meal is still very light, it is no longer necessary to rely on lemonade to relieve nausea.The appetite has also recovered, but it is still not as good as before pregnancy.

"I'm going to class, see you at noon." Mu Qingtong bid farewell to Schwartz after packing up.

"Goodbye!" Schwartz said, "Oh, you, don't forget to bring the key. Today, I, I will go to the intelligence department to check and do maintenance. I may come back late at noon."

"Ok."

Central region, coordinates unknown.

Damian put on his military boots, stuffed two very thin pocket knives inside, and then opened a cloth bag, all of which were small sharp blades, shining faintly in the dim light.

He put on a thin bulletproof vest, and then inserted the knives in the cloth pocket one by one into the interlayer of the clothes, on the belt, and in the sleeves...

The micro memory card with a diameter of less than five millimeters was put into a special silicone case by Damian. He rinsed it with water and put it under his tongue after making sure there was no problem.

The gun was placed on the table, and he picked it up and hung it on his waist. After looking around for a while, he went out after making sure that there was nothing missing.

The number of mercenaries in the city has decreased a lot, most of them were sent to the battlefield, and only a few who were assigned other tasks stayed.

Damian walked out with a normal expression, walking carelessly on the messy street, kicking up the thick dust on the ground.The wind and sand in the past two days was so strong that people could hardly keep their eyes open, and it didn't get better until this afternoon.

The surroundings are deserted, and the houses are dilapidated. The climate here is dry, and it is difficult to have a rain. There are deserts and huge weathered rocks everywhere, which looks extremely desolate.

Damian only went out for a while and his mouth was dry. He went to the water area to get a bottle of water, and suddenly saw a familiar person approaching.

"Thunder." Damian walked over to greet him.

"Hey, are you here too?" Lei Ting replied.

"Well, come here and get a bottle of water." Damian said, took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, gave Lei Ting one naturally, and asked at the same time, "I have something to ask you."

Lei Ting took the cigarette and looked a little surprised: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Damian lit Lei Ting himself, then lit another one for himself, took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, frowned and asked, "Have you seen Chen Pi recently?"

"No." Lei Ting took a puff of cigarette, "What's the matter, do you miss him?"

Damian laughed and said: "I don't think so, this place, this kind of thing, you know..."

"I understand, I understand." Lei Ting looked clear, "But I really don't pay much attention to him. You put it this way, it seems that the last time I saw him selling goods was last week... …Usually he comes and goes very quickly, so he probably changed places.”

Damian squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, but didn't answer.

"Hey, isn't it you, are you still interested in him?" Lei Ting said, "You can just find other things for this matter, isn't that little bitch Chen Pi loose at the back?"

Damian smiled and punched Lei Ting on the shoulder: "I just asked casually."

"Why don't I ask for you." Lei Ting took out the communicator and prepared to make a call.

"Forget it, it's not necessary." Damian quickly stopped him.

"Really?" Thunder doubted.

"real."

"By the way, why is your voice so weird today?" Lei Ting asked suddenly.

Alarm bells rang in Damian's heart, and the memory card was still under his tongue, which affected his speech, but he couldn't hear the difference without carefully distinguishing it. Unexpectedly, the other party discovered the flaw.

He excused: "I have a bit of wind-heat and cold."

The two chatted casually again, and quickly finished their cigarette. After Damian said goodbye to Lei Ting, he continued on to his destination.

Chen Pi hasn't shown up for a long time, what happened?

He had better be transferred by Irmo and left the central region.But according to Chen Pi's pissing nature, he will definitely make a lot of money before leaving, instead of leaving without anyone noticing...

Hope nothing goes wrong.Damian thought.

"Don't you think monkeys are a bit strange?" Someone behind Lei Ting said.

Lei Ting recognized the voice of the person who came, and said without turning his head: "It's a little bit, it came here by air... I can't tell what is wrong."

"I think he looks like a regular army," the man said.

"Is there?" Lei Ting was surprised, "I didn't see it, I just thought it was strange for him to ask Chen Pi, who would care about that kid if he didn't take drugs."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." The man said again, "If you can parachute to this place... there shouldn't be any problem, but just keep an eye on it."

"OK." Lei Ting gestured.

"I'll follow up and have a look."

The previously set location was not very far from the territorial waters. It was already evening, and the setting sun dyed the entire sky blood red.

Damian looked up, inexplicably disliked this color, always felt that it was not auspicious.

Suddenly there was a shrill and sharp cry from above his head, and he quickly turned his head to look, just in time for a big vulture to fly by.

"..." Damian suddenly panicked.

He had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it. He sat on a pillar at random, with his arms folded in front of his chest.

It is located in the corner of the abandoned city, and there are fewer mercenaries coming and going. Some people noticed Damian standing there, but they just glanced at him.

After a while, Damian got a little bored waiting, and his heart became more and more uneasy. He took out the communicator and checked the time. It was obvious that he was still a few minutes late, but the contact person still didn't show up.

It may have been an accident that it didn't show up the first time, but it still didn't show up the second time...

He couldn't spend too long here, Damian pretended to play games with the communicator, and looked around from the corner of his eye.

After 10 minutes, Damian couldn't sit still at all. He spit out the cigarette he was holding, crushed it with his foot, and then hurried to the residence.

When he was rushing back, suddenly three people came up to him, Damian had never seen them.Since the street was very narrow, he leaned to the left, but the other three did not go straight because of this, but followed Damian to the left.

Damian: "..."

The visitor is not good.Damian's hunch was right, he silently moved his hands to his sleeves and slowed down his walking speed.

"Monkey." Someone on the left suddenly called him.

Damian turned his head and found that this person was Lei Ting's boss, Augustine. He looked at the three people in front of him again, hesitated for a while, and replied, "Hi."

"I went for a walk after dinner, and I didn't expect to meet you," Augustine said.

"Anyway, it's okay, just take a walk." Damian said calmly, "I haven't eaten yet, I'm a little hungry."

"Oh?" Augustine's eyes were dim, "It's so late..."

"Is there still food?" Damian felt bad when he saw that the three were getting closer and closer from the corner of his eye.

"Do you know those people?" Augustine obviously noticed them.

"Who?" Da Mi asked stupidly, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, he pretended to turn his head inadvertently, but saw the action of the other party drawing a gun.

Fuck me.Damian cursed in his heart, his tongue wriggled for a while, pushed the small silicone box to his throat, and swallowed it.
