Chen Xing, who had just opened the water and took a sip, almost choked and looked at Zhuge Qing in surprise:
“Those two weirdos we brought back from the city bureau before?

I just wanted a job, how could I forget? "

Then, Chen Xing seemed to realize something and said in disbelief:
"No way, are you going to tell me that the two of them are in charge of the Core Bureau?"

Seeing Zhuge Qing nodded, Chen Xing's eyes widened:

"Come on, are you kidding me? What on earth happened while I was away?"

Looking at Chen Xing's expression, Zhuge Qing couldn't help laughing:

“You don’t have to know anything else, but you just need to know that the recently popular Panshe Passage and Sanling Bridge were both built by Director Li.

And our current actions are also aimed at dealing with matters in the core bureau."

Chen Xing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't speak for a long time. She felt that the amount of information was too much and it was difficult to digest it all at once.

The former tomb robber suspect has now become the director of a government department?
Chen Xing's curiosity was completely aroused, but no matter how she asked, Zhuge Qing refused to say more.

It wasn't that Zhuge Qing was deliberately keeping Chen Xing in suspense, but he knew that if he said these words out of his mouth, Chen Xing might think he was crazy.

Some things have to be seen to be believed.

So, Chen Xing, full of doubts, followed Zhuge Qing and drove to the military base.

The military base in Lianyun City, which houses a regiment, is located in the suburbs far away from human habitation.

Although Xiangyun Village is also in the suburbs, it is in two completely different directions from the military base.

Coupled with the desolate surroundings, fewer people are willing to come here.

The military base is backed by an isolated mountain, which is actually more like a hill.

The station was established at the foot of the hill and has been there for many years.

This place is remote and there is only one road leading to it.

A few hundred meters away, there is a sign saying "Military area, no entry for unauthorized persons", which shows how strict the security is.

Zhuge Qing drove to this mountain road unimpeded, as there were no vehicles on the road 20 minutes ago.

The "No Trespassing" sign was very eye-catching, but it did not stop Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing. Instead, he sped up.

Five or six minutes later, they saw the gate of the station.

There are guards on both sides of the big iron gate, and several meters high walls extend from both sides of the gate.

As expected, Zhuge Qing's car was stopped by the guards.

A fully armed guard walked up to the car, saluted, and said to Zhuge Qing:

"This is a military stronghold, please identify yourself immediately!"

Even Chen Xing felt a little oppressed by this posture.

Not far away, many guards were looking at this side with eager eyes, their hands on the butts of their guns, as if they were ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

Zhuge Qing was accustomed to this situation, so he remained calm.

He slowly took out the ID from his arms and handed it over.

After checking the ID, the guard immediately saluted Zhuge Qing, then quickly ran back and informed others of the news.

"Rumble..."

Then, there was a heavy sound, and the big iron gate slowly split into two and opened to the left and right.

Many soldiers stood at the door and watched Zhuge Qing slowly drive the car into the base.

After entering the military base, the world before their eyes seemed to turn into military green.

Military green camouflage uniforms and military green tents can be seen everywhere.

Even the several factory buildings within the base are painted in military green camouflage.

There are heavy troops stationed in front of the factory gate.

This is so because there is a weapons warehouse in the Lianyun City military base.

Strictly guarding weapons is one of the important tasks of the military garrison, which is also the reason why a garrison regiment was established in Lianyun City.

At the same time, after entering the base, Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing both felt a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Rows of soldiers walked past in unison.

Loud slogans and shouts of killing could be heard from the training ground not far away.

The two stopped the car according to the soldier's instructions, got out and walked. They needed to cross the training ground to enter the command center.

When passing by the training ground, Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing were shocked by the scene before them.

In a huge mud pit, many soldiers in training uniforms are undergoing brutal physical training.

They were covered in mud, and their facial features could no longer be seen. They had turned into mud figures.

But the soldier leading the two men remained calm, and it was obvious that he was used to all this.

Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing looked at each other. This scene brought back memories of the various trainings they had previously conducted at the National Security Bureau.

The training is also brutal, and only after passing the training can one truly become an investigator of the National Security Office.

It’s just that times have changed. Now Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing have become front-line agents of the Municipal National Security Office.

Such cruel training seemed to have become a memory for them.

Led by the soldiers, the two quickly entered the command center and came to a room.

"Report to the head of the delegation, two investigators from the Municipal National Security Office have arrived!"

"Come in……"

As a deep voice came from the room, the soldier who led the two men here quickly opened the door and motioned for them to go in.

After entering the room, Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing's first impression was that the room was too clean.

There was not even a speck of mud on the bright window.

The floor was spotless and everything was neatly arranged.

At this time, a man in his 40s wearing military uniform slowly raised his head. He was sitting at a desk.
"Investigators from the National Security Office rarely come to our military base. I wonder what they are here for this time?"

The man looked at the two people in front of him with sharp eyes.

Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing only needed to look at the military rank on this man's shoulder to know that he must be the commander of this garrison.

"Hello, Chief. I am Zhuge Qing, the leader of the National Security Office, and this is investigator Chen Xing."

Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing saluted the man at the same time.

The man stood up and returned the greeting:
"I'm Hou Hao, the leader of the Tiger Regiment of the Lianyun City Military Station. How can I help you?"

Zhuge Qing didn't waste any words and directly handed over the document in his hand:

"Captain Guo, we have something that requires the cooperation of the military."

Hou Hao nodded, took the document, opened it and looked at it, then a look of confusion appeared on his face.

During the few minutes when he lowered his head to look at the documents, Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing.

The leader in front of us has a strong aura that cannot be ignored just by standing here.

In this atmosphere, it seems that no one dares to behave too impetuously.

Finally, Hou Hao slowly raised his head, looked at the two of them and said:
"The highest military department has issued an order that both the military and the government should fully support all actions of the National Security Office.

So I have no objection to your request, I just want to ask one more question.

What kind of department is the core bureau mentioned in the document? "

This question made Zhuge Qing a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain it. But just as he was thinking, Hou Hao waved his hand:
"Looking at your embarrassment, it must be some confidential matters that are inconvenient to talk about, so forget it.

I will stamp your official seal immediately, and someone will take you away afterwards."

Hou Hao is worthy of being a soldier. He acts decisively and without any procrastination.

He quickly opened the drawer, took out the official seal representing the Lianyun City headquarters, and stamped it on several documents.

Then he put the documents back into the file bag and returned them to Zhuge Qing.

After completing the task, Zhuge Qing and Chen Xing left the place without delay and drove back to the National Security Office.

But as soon as they left, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and then the door of Hou Hao's office was opened.

Hou Hao looked up, then smiled:

"Xie Xia Xia, if you had come a little earlier, you would have been able to meet the investigators from the National Security Office."

The person who walked into Hou Hao's office at this time was named Xie Xia Xia.

Although he was only in his 30s, he was the political commissar of the Tiger Regiment.

The fact that Xie Xia Xia can become Hou Hao's right-hand man at such a young age shows that he has extraordinary abilities.

Xie Xia Xia sat opposite Hou Hao and asked curiously:

"Captain Guo, I saw those two people when I came here just now.

The National Security Office seems to have never asked us for help. What happened?"

Facing Xie Xia Xia's question, Hou Hao nodded slightly:

“They came for a newly formed department of the city government.

The name of this department is a bit strange, it's called the Core Bureau.

And when I was stamping their certificates, I saw that the certificates had not only the seal of the National Security Office, but also the seal of the municipal government.

Add our chapter, and it becomes three chapters in one.

It can be seen that they attach great importance to this new department. "

"Core Bureau, what is this?"

Xie Xia Xia pondered for a while, feeling very unfamiliar with the name, and her confusion was evident in her words.

“I don’t understand either. The people at the National Security Office seem to be very secretive about this topic. Maybe it involves confidential information.

However, this doesn’t matter, we have already cooperated as much as we should.

Let them handle their own internal affairs.”

Hou Hao shook his head calmly, and Xie Xia Xia also agreed and nodded.

"I came here this time mainly to discuss with you the specific arrangements for the upcoming military district soldier exercise..."

The two of them then started a discussion in the office, and they did not take the visit of the National Security Office too seriously.

Although the highest military headquarters had long ago ordered all military regions to fully support any action of the National Security Office, the Lianyun City National Security Office had never contacted them.

Therefore, Hou Hao and Xie Xia Xia were only slightly puzzled by the arrival of Zhuge Qing and Guo Mu, but did not think deeply about it.

At this moment, all their attention is focused on the upcoming military exercise.

The incident was soon forgotten by them.

A few hours later, as night fell, the remote military base seemed even more desolate and silent.

A team of soldiers is taking over the night shift, which is their daily routine task.

Life in the army is boring and orderly, and standing night guard is the task that soldiers are most reluctant to undertake.

The temperature changes drastically at night, from scorching hot in the summer to freezing cold in the winter.

What is even more unbearable is sleepiness, but when on duty, the guards must stay awake and not fall asleep.

Therefore, standing night guard became a task that the soldiers tried to avoid, but it was carried out in turns and could not be avoided.

At this time, the four guards at the gate completed the handover, and the newly arrived guards continued to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the important military base in the night.

The first few hours were still bearable, but as midnight approached, sleepiness came over me like a tide.

The guards could only pinch their thighs secretly, trying to stay awake.

Sometimes, after a shift, the outsides of both legs were bruised from being pinched.

The only advantage of standing guard at night is that it is not as strict as during the day. Soldiers can even chat with their comrades next to them when they feel sleepy to pass the time.

“The weather is getting colder and colder, it feels like we haven’t even had fall yet and it’s already winter.

Just after getting over the mosquito bites, now we have to face the heavy snow. "

A guard complained and straightened his collar, but it didn't seem to dispel the chill for him much.

Another soldier standing next to him nodded helplessly:

"Yes, I was originally on duty during the day, but the squad leader temporarily transferred me here.

I was on night duty yesterday and the day before yesterday, and today as well. It’s really a bit too much for me.”

Two soldiers on the other side of the gate were also talking in low voices to pass the long night.

"There's no one around here, what's the point of standing guard here?"

This sentence came from a new recruit.

The old soldier beside him was a little unhappy after hearing this:

"Rookie, it's okay to complain, but don't say things like this.

This is a strategic military location, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes.

There are still many days ahead of you, and this mentality will only make your life more and more difficult."

The recruit nodded a little embarrassedly after hearing this:

"Squad leader, I said something wrong..."

However, at this moment, the inexperienced recruit yawned.

The old soldier looked at him, as if he saw his own past self, so he smiled and said:
“Everyone goes through this process, you just have to get used to it.

If you really feel sleepy, pinch your thighs, it helps."

The recruit quickly shut up after hearing this. At this moment, a cool breeze blew over, refreshing him.

However, in just a few seconds, when the recruit looked up into the distance again, he found that there was a faint mist in the air.

Moreover, the fog seems to be getting thicker.

In this deserted place in the middle of the night, the recruits couldn't help but feel a little frightened:
"Squad leader, why is it suddenly foggy?"

The old soldier looked at the uneasy new recruit and said unhappily:
"Isn't it just some fog? What are you afraid of? If I told you there's a cemetery behind our military zone, would you be scared to death?"

"Ah? There's a cemetery?"

The new recruit looked at the veteran in astonishment, only to find that the veteran's expression had turned serious.

The veteran kept staring in the direction of the fog and even took a few steps forward.

Seeing this, several other soldiers asked in confusion:

"Brother Zhao, what are you looking at? It's pitch dark..."

However, at this moment, the veteran pointed in the direction of the white fog and asked uncertainly:

"Did you see a figure just now?" (End of this chapter)
