Spark

Two days later, Qiu Mai returned to China along with many other experts, and her first stop was Chengdu.

Of course, this was not only because of Li Xiang's invitation, but also because she and several friends had not seen each other for a long time and it was time to keep in touch.

Li Xiang arranged dinner at his own home, and Wang Jiancheng, who had been in seclusion for a long time, finally took some precious time to attend. Inevitably, he was also ridiculed by the three people, and Qiu Mai even laughed at You are better than me. Chen Nian is still busy.

However, the four of them are all old acquaintances. Although Qiu Mai and Wang Jiancheng are always not very friendly to each other, a little joke is still harmless.

While waiting for the food to be served, several people chatted about their recent work plans and the attack Qiomai encountered in Ras La Khela.

Actually, the situation over there is not as dangerous as you think. That attack was obviously not aimed at us.

Although I don't know much about the military, I can see that a team that can carry out an attack to that extent, even if it wants to launch an attack on our Ras La Kela base, will definitely not be anything. Difficult matter.

Of course, I'm not saying that they can break into the base, but if they want to, it is absolutely feasible to cause greater casualties.

But here's the problem - not only are they not doing this, they are trying to avoid causing casualties as much as possible.

It's very confusing anyway.

Anyway, I got a good deal. When the attack first happened, I went to the front line to see it, and then I came back and received awards - in fact, I didn't do anything at all.

Qiu Mai's expression was a bit self-deprecating and helpless, but even Wang Jiancheng, who usually had a chance to slander her, could tell that although she said it lightly, she was able to make the decision to go to the front line to check the situation in person at that time. , is not easy either.

So how was the problem solved later?

Wang Jiancheng asked curiously.

It didn't work out much.

It should be said that it has not been solved at all.

We have renovated the pipeline, and the base has applied for a higher level of security patrol authority from Qatari officials. Occasionally, our engineers will follow the vehicle on patrol so that unexpected situations can be dealt with in time.

But since that time, we really haven't had any accidents.

Until last week, our superiors - Li Xiang and his colleagues - informed us that the situation has been tightening recently and asked us to withdraw, and then we withdrew.

There's really nothing to say, and it doesn't have the kind of scenes you might think of in a blockbuster movie.

oh.

Wang Jiancheng nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any more questions.

Then, he changed the topic sensibly.

You also said that you have been in Qatar for a long time, but I haven't seen you black yet? The sunshine there is so strong, I have only been there for more than a month, and my whole body is already dark.

I'm here to do technical work, not to practice like you. I don't have much time to go out in a day, how can I be so hacky?

Wait a minute, don't talk about this now, let's talk about some practical issues.

At this point, Qiu Mai's expression suddenly became serious.

She turned to Li Xiang and said seriously:

I think you service departments should consider solving practical problems for your comrades.

There are four people at this table, with a combined age of more than 120, and not one of them is in love. Don't you think you have neglected your job?

Li Xiang scratched his head awkwardly, but he didn't hide it.

He first glanced at Chen Nian, then at Wang Jiancheng, and finally said:

Actually, things between the two of them are already in the plan. Of course, Chen Nian has the highest priority, but there's nothing we can do. They don't even participate in the activities, so there's nothing we can do if we try our best.

Speak for yourself. Now that Chen Nian can't say no, who dares to hold his head and say yes?

Service work is not easy to do. This kind of thing depends on self-consciousness. Anyway, I am quite self-conscious. I am already in contact with it.

What about you? Do you have a plan? If you don't have a plan, I can contact the administration to help you make arrangements.

Let's arrange it.

Qiaomai said frankly.

Seeing the two of them discussing their future relationship plans freely, Chen Nian felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

But then I thought about it, yes, my 30th year has passed!

For more than ten years, I have been fully devoted to the career of science and technology. Many times, I am not even aware of the passage of time, let alone my own aging.

But it seems that there is really no need for me to get married?

This must be explained from two perspectives.

If life is for experience, then I have already experienced it in my previous life, so there is no need to repeat it again.

If reproduction is the responsibility that an individual must bear in order to continue the human species. Damn, is there anyone in the world who has made greater contributions to the continuation of mankind than himself?

Hey! The logic is self-consistent!

As a result, Chen Nian relaxed again.

He listened to Li Xiang's hidden nods to him, and said bluntly:

You'd better not spend too much time with me. I really don't need any emotional help - seriously, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know how to run home when it rains?

After hearing what Chen Nian said, Li Xiang didn't shy away from it at all.

He opened his mouth and said:

Do you think everyone wants you to get married and have children and raise children? They care about your emotional problems and have nothing to do with it, okay?

In fact, the reason why we put this issue on such a high priority is mainly because we are worried about your psychological problems.

You know, we've suffered from this before.

“Many scholars and researchers of the older generation have a ‘hidden self-destructive mentality’, that is, they subconsciously believe that to achieve certain things, they must give up other things.”

The manifestations of this kind of psychology include but are not limited to the widely publicized before of enduring hardship, abandoning the family, self-sacrifice, etc. Judging from the research and review results in recent years, its overall impact is very negative.

Because it destroys a person's self-balance, from a utilitarian point of view, it will lead to a reduction in overall utility.

As for you, it's obvious that everyone is worried now that the manifestation of your self-destructive psychology is your rejection of relationships and marriage.

.A very convincing reason.

Chen Nian said sincerely.

But I really don't have that problem.

I can tell.

Before Li could speak, Wang Jiancheng interrupted.

Li Xiang glared at him but didn't say much.

Forget it, anyway, now we can only focus on you - let's not talk about this, let's talk about Rasrakela.

The level of confidentiality for everyone here is sufficient. I don't need to hide it from you anymore.

Senior sister, I'm calling you back this time mainly because the preliminary results of the Rasrakela matter have already been obtained.

We may organize a raid there, and there may be subsequent retaliation and counterattacks, so we can only transfer key personnel back first.

What exactly is the clue?

Chen Nian asked curiously.

.I'll tell you privately.

Li Xiang shut up. It was obvious that other people's secret levels could know the existence of the operation, but they could never know the details of the operation.

Then, the significance of this operation is really not as simple as Chen Nian expected.

A few hours later, next to the Corniche in Doha, the capital of Qatar.

Several inconspicuous private cars had been parked on the roadside for more than five hours, but none of the passengers got out of the car.

In the car at the back, a man with an Asian face was putting on a body armor, and next to him was a CQB-specific HK416C assault rifle.

This is Jackal, Sparrow, reporting the situation. Is there anything unusual about the target?

The man put on the radio again and asked.

Nothing unusual was found. The two of them were just like ordinary tourists. They walked on the beach for an hour and have now returned to the hotel.

Canary just confirmed that the two of them entered two rooms respectively, but there were more than just the two of them in each room.

We suspect that the other party has also deployed security forces inside the hotel room, which should also come from some private force companies, but we have not obtained the facial recognition information of the security personnel and cannot make a more specific judgment.

Hearing the answer in the earphone, the man frowned slightly.

Can we get more information from the hotel through official pressure?

No, the target is very cautious, we don't dare to take risks.

Understood, then we will adopt a strong attack strategy. Is the entire team in place? Do you want to apply for authorization now?

The entire team is in place and can apply for authorization.

The man codenamed Jackal nodded subconsciously. Then, he picked up an encrypted call terminal from his hand and connected the phone to the higher-level headquarters.

This is Jackal, confirming that all alternatives have failed, and requesting a strong attack on the fox. Please authorize it.

Hunter received, please confirm that all alternatives are invalid.

The Jackal confirmed that all alternatives have failed and can only resort to forceful attacks.

Green light, ready to move.

After hanging up the phone, Jackal couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This is definitely one of the toughest opponents he has ever faced.

Of course, it wasn't because of how powerful the opponent's firepower was and how abundant his martial virtue was, but because the opponent's level of caution was really beyond his imagination.

On the surface, these two tourists from the United States simply stayed at an ordinary chain resort hotel, just like other tourists.

But in fact, from the moment they entered the hotel, the hotel's security measures had been fully upgraded - no, it should not be said to be upgraded, but it should be said to have been fully taken over.

More professional personnel began to provide security services for the hotel. They blocked all loopholes and arranged a series of evacuation measures. There were as many as 12 types of evacuation measures recognized by their own team alone.

Even the plan of injecting hypnotic gas into a strong attack that the team had considered before had been anticipated by the other party. This could be seen from the more than ten sets of breathing devices they quietly transported into the hotel.

Jackal couldn't figure out, had they always been so cautious, or had they discovered their spying power?

It makes no sense logically to say that they have discovered it.

They should just run away and never waste any more time here.

It can only be thought that they are indeed cautious by nature.

There was a two-minute countdown to the operation. All the executioners in the private cars got out of the car. Their weapons were ready. Everyone's face showed a calm look of determination to sacrifice.

This mission is extremely difficult. It is not just a raid, but a raid that ensures the survival of the target.

Casualties will definitely occur, but we don’t know to what extent they will reach.

start to act.

Jackal whispered the order, and then his voice was transmitted to the rear headquarters through the integrated command system.

Five seconds later, a huge explosion sounded from the north side of Binhai Avenue.

Immediately afterwards, the entire coastal boulevard fell into darkness.

power cut.

From now until the hotel's backup generator starts up, they have 30 seconds to storm to the fourth floor of the hotel.

Jackal suddenly accelerated and rushed into the hotel along with all the execution staff.

At the same time, in the room on the fourth floor of the hotel.

Jess looked at the surveillance camera in the room calmly, with no trace of nervousness on his face.

He pointed to the picture captured by the infrared camera and said:

The opponent is a very professional team. Look at their CQB game, maybe it's not an exaggeration to say that they are the strongest CQB team in the world.

Leap forward in a wave shape, quickly clear simple corners, and adhere to the principle of staying close. Position 2 always pays attention to the muzzle pointing of position 1 and makes supplementary blind spots.

Didn't you say that your team members have rich experience in CQB operations? Why do I feel that you have no power to fight back in front of them?

The captain in charge of security stood next to him, his face looked a little ugly.

But after listening to Jace's words, he had to nod and answer:

Yes, we must admit that the other party's level of professionalism is one level higher than ours.

They can't be CIA agents. Our defense direction was wrong from the beginning.

You can see this from their offensive methods. They obviously adopted a fast-moving and radical plan with the goal of disrupting our command and decision-making system as quickly as possible.

I can't say how strong their skills are, but they are really not afraid of death.

Mr. Jess, prepare to retreat. Although I don't want to admit it, the outcome is no longer in suspense.

Retreat? Retreat to where?

They have the power to black out an entire neighborhood. You don't think they have the power to catch me?

A sarcastic smile appeared on Jace's face.

I made a mistake - we shouldn't have used any security.

After all, once discovered, it means the game is over.

I should have quietly surrendered instead of letting so many people lose their lives for me.

So, your contract is over.

Now, put down your arms, I surrender to them.

The captain looked at Jace in surprise. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he just nodded quietly.

Jace took a deep breath.

Then, he stood up and opened the door to the room.

Entering the corridor of the room, he raised his hands and shouted:

I surrender!

I am the person you are looking for!

Don't shoot, it's over!

The gunfire suddenly stopped.

Those who attacked had obviously seen themselves in the night vision goggles.

Then, the next second, the backup power came on and the lights came back on.

Jace looked back and saw Paul, who also raised his hands, standing behind him.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
