Chapter 74: Back waves and front waves
Li Zhen raised her hand and interrupted her. Before heaven, Zhang Kesong was still in the Philippines - because there was also a prophet in the empire, and the prophets would influence each other. If nothing unexpected happens... she might have stayed there all the time!
If the Empire's garrison in the Philippines were independent...
It will never be a harmonious and beautiful process. Any coup or turmoil is always accompanied by killing and death, so she...
Li Zhen subconsciously opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Guo Jinyuan: "Do you only know where the garrison is independent? Who is the person in charge? Who picked it up?"
Guo Jinyuan's face also became a little more solemn. But she thought for a while before showing an apology again: "Sorry, I don't know much. But the official must have learned more in detail - if you contact them in the future, can you-"
"But why should I help you?" Li Zhen sighed in his heart, calming himself a little.
Guo Jinyuan was slightly stunned: "Because..."
She pursed her lips and said as if she was desperately gambled: "Because we saved you last night. And my family - the influence of Wanzhou is very strong. You have not been here for five years, and the world has changed even more. If you need any help in the future, my family will be happy to provide you with a lot of convenience - the territory in Wanzhou is even bigger than here, if you want to develop here..."
Li Zhen suddenly laughed softly when she listened to her words.
So Guo Jinyuan stopped, her face flushed. Obviously, she also realized that the words she said just now were a bit childish and a little incoherent.
Li Zhen looked at her and sighed slightly: "Miss Guo, I am indeed a soldier. But I have never regarded myself as a soldier. Maybe you are more likely to like fantasy at your age - such as warlords separatist, fighting for power and profit in such troubled times, establishing themselves on the mountain. But I don't have this idea yet, I just want to do what I had to do in the past."
"What you said about support or help... Actually, I don't need it. I am not as ambitious as you imagined." Li Zhen paused, "But I want to remind you one thing. Since you said that your family is very powerful in Wanzhou generation - how long have you been trapped here now?"
Guo Jinyuan's face looked a little ugly. She whispered: "It's been five years."
"It's been five years." Li Zhen shook his head, "As you said, there must have been any channel in five years, right?"
Guo Jinyuan nodded slightly: "Well. But they are all official confidential information... I can't know and I can't get through it."
Li Zhen sighed sympathetically: "The problem is here. You came here to go to college, and your family must know where you are. If their influence is still as great as before - why should you wait for you to find them instead of them coming to you?"
Guo Jinyuan looked at Li Zhen straight: "I didn't lie to you, what I said was true."
"I understand." Li Zhen spread his hands, "but Miss Guo, things are unpredictable."
Guo Jinyuan bit her lips tightly and fell into silence. Her performance was much calmer than Li Zhen expected. Li Zhen felt that she had thought about the issue she had just pointed out. In five years, a girl with a sound mind and even more rationality than ordinary people could not have thought about this.
But many times people are unwilling to believe bad news, and even if there is still a glimmer of hope, they want to turn a blind eye to another possibility and look forward to the possible turning point.
Guo Jinyuan stood up alone. Li Zhen looked at her quietly for a while, and when she felt the sun was making her spine hot, she said, "If you have the chance, I'll ask you. After all, you saved me. But the result is hard to say."
Guo Jinyuan blinked, as if she was about to shed tears. But she finally held back and bowed to Li Zhen: "Thank you...thank you."
"Then the news has been sent out?" Li Zhen couldn't help her get up, so he could only wave his hand.
"Zhao Yu had already gone last night, maybe it's here now." Guo Jinyuan raised her head and stroked her hair, "He has always admired you very much. And... he also has superpowers."
Li Zhen nodded, walked back a few steps, and found a shade of trees. Guo Jinyuan stood there and looked at him for a while, and walked away slowly.
He waited until noon and experienced personally why this city is known as the "stove".
The air was stuffy and there was no wind. The sunlight made the ground hot, and the steaming heat reflected the winding space on the ground, as if the space here had also changed. The sound of insects seemed weak and the sound of birds was even more invisible. He saw several figures appearing on the stadium from afar, and then retreated and hid in the bushes.
No matter what, being watched by such a group of college students... it feels like I am being locked in a cage.
Three unbearable hours passed. A military vehicle drove at the entrance of the stadium.
So Li Zhen walked out of the bushes and saw the military car heading straight towards his own way.
The car stopped, the door opened, and a captain and a lieutenant officer jumped off.
They were wearing local troops' summer outfits and looked small at a young age.
Li Zhen frowned slightly. Then the two looked at Li Zhen’s face with hesitant eyes, then looked at the things in their hands like mobile phones, then calmed down and saluted: “Your Excellency.”
A second later, Li Zhen returned a bow and said nothing.
Things are a bit strange. Although he has never regarded himself as a VIP - this is just his personal feeling. If we put it objectively, Li Zhen can indeed be regarded as a "big man". Regardless of his record, strength, and military rank, he can afford this evaluation. However, the problem is...
The other party sent only two young officers, one captain and the other lieutenant?
The military rank of the Secret Service System is slightly lower than that of the local garrison, which means that these two people are not a great role even in the local military system.
However, he is a major general of the Secret Service Office.
At this time, the captain spoke first: "Sorry, you, we must confirm your identity first."
Li Zhen was stunned.
The captain smiled: "According to the information, your ability is to heal yourself, electricity, flames, fly..."
Li Zhen frowned slightly and interrupted him: "Which unit are you from? Why aren't you from the Special Affairs Office?"
After hearing his words, the captain looked at Li Zhen with a meaningful look: "Maybe you really came back just now, so you don't know that there is no department of the Special Affairs Office now. The former executives or abilities are now assigned to the local special forces. You must know that there are more and more abilities now, and the functions of the Special Affairs Office can no longer adapt to the current situation."
"If you have no questions, then let's continue to say--" the captain lowered his head to check the information.
Li Zhen was stunned.
After a while, Li Zhen came to his senses a little until the captain said, "Now please show your abilities in turn."
He asked again patiently: "Certain my identity, then what?"
The captain smiled slightly: "Then we will report and make an assessment. If it is really you, then we will try to rescue you from the opposite side."
"Report and make an assessment." Li Zhen said expressionlessly, "How long will it take?"
"This... depends on the progress." The captain spread his hands slightly, "at least three or five days, at most thirteen or five days, there is no accurate one."
Li Zhen took a breath and raised the Longinus gun in his hand: "Do you know what I am carrying?"
The captain smiled: "It's almost the same."
Then he restrained his smile and pointed to the gun in Li Zhen's hand: "Langhinus's Spear?"
Li Zhen was stunned and frowned and stared at him: "You know? How could you know? Who told you?"
The existence of the Longines Gun was internal secret five years ago. Only a very small number of people in the Secret Service system knew the truth. Even though time had passed so long, some things that should have been kept secret gradually leaked...
But how could any Army captain know about this and could say it in such an indifferent tone?
For the sake of this gun, he almost never came back!
The captain smiled. He thought for a while and sighed sympathetically: "Your Excellency, you are almost everyone in the interior who came to find this gun by landing on the moon."
"Actually, I can understand you, and you can understand the people at that time. In that era, everyone was panic, and as long as there was a little hope, they would want to hold on to it tightly - no matter how ridiculous the idea was, relying on a legendary gun to defeat the species... Haha." The captain smiled, "It seems to us that it is a fantasy. Your matter was declassified a year ago. At that time, we thought it was really worthwhile for you to save your life for this thing, but we didn't expect you to come back."
Li Zhen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then he tightened the gun in his hand: "You mean, you have found a better way to deal with the species now."
"Yes." The captain looked at him and replied briefly, "and it works."
"What's the solution?"
The captain shook his head gently: "Sorry, this is a military secret."
Li Zhen was silent for a while. The captain and the lieutenant waited for him for a while. Then the captain said, "Your Excellency, please show your abilities in turn."
Li Zhen straightened his waist, glanced across the faces of the two people, and then sneered: "In my opinion, this method is not very clever."
The captain said mutely: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Showing my ability in turn - do you think I'm here to perform a show?" Li Zhen said coldly, "What are the one behind you worried about? Worrying that I'm taking his power? So I'm going to use this method to keep me away from here?" (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
