Chapter 196: Not speaking, pretending to be an expert?
"Brother Xiao, how's your memorization going?"
"Don't make a fuss, I'm carrying you on my back."
There were about ten people sitting or standing in the room, each holding a page of foreign language material in their hands, racking their brains to remember this abstract thing.
"But Brother Xiao, I really can't memorize it... The foreign language on this paper is like a maggot in a cesspool, crooked and messy. I really can't do anything with it..."
Wang Gengsheng held his head in his hands helplessly. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, he said in shock:
"It's over! Brother Xiao, after carrying this damn thing for two days, my head seems to have grown bigger!"
Gu Xiao's mouth twitched, "So? Your head got bigger because you memorized the information?"
Wang Geng shook his head honestly, "No, I'm just overwhelmed." He had no idea about those foreign languages.
Gu Xiao frowned and temporarily shifted his gaze away from the information.
He also had a very painful time carrying it.
Glancing at the other soldiers' status, he found that everyone was scratching their heads and trying to memorize things.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Xiao and his team's mission this time is to pick up Mr. Guo, a top scientific researcher who has returned from abroad.
Mr. Guo is a recognized top scholar in the international mechanics community and previously served as a professor at a foreign university.
In order to prevent his research results from being used by foreign military, he gave up his comfortable life abroad and returned to his homeland with unpublished scientific research data.
On the way, they experienced many interceptions and took many detours, and finally chose to cross the border through Country Y.
After all, just two years ago, China helped Country Y repel the invaders, and the two sides are friendly countries.
But unexpectedly, Country Y stabbed us in the back.
That's why there was this scene where everyone was reciting foreign language materials.
This is a plan B in the worst case scenario.
At present, under the obfuscation of vision, the attention of Country Y’s search has been drawn to the North District.
They are safe for now.
But they are still disconnected from the organization and cannot cross the border to return to China.
And the most urgent thing is that Mr. Guo was seriously injured and needs urgent treatment.
If, in the end, they still cannot overcome the current predicament, then they must ensure that:
Let those who can return to their country alive reproduce the information in their minds through memory.
But judging from the current progress, plan B is a bit uncertain.
"Report to the Captain!"
The soldier in charge of guard came in and Gu Xiao stood up immediately.
"Did the soldiers who went out to make contact get any news?"
The most important thing at the moment is to contact people in the organization, firstly to help with crossing the border, and secondly to treat Mr. Guo’s injuries.
"No. Someone was knocking on the door. The knock signal was three long and one short, and it matched, but the verbal signal didn't."
The verbal code didn't match, which meant that he was not the one participating in this mission.
But if they know the secret code of knocking on the door, it means they must be friendly, maybe even reinforcements.
Gu Xiao said decisively: "I'll go take a look."
Wang Geng quickly put the documents on the table and followed in two steps:
"Brother Xiao, I want to go too! As your bodyguard, I must ensure your safety!"
Gu Xiao: ...It’s right inside the house, is there any safety issue?
You're just trying to get some fresh air under the guise of going out.
“…Come with me.”
"Yes!!" Wang Geng was overjoyed. "I want to see who's coming. Maybe they're comrades coming to support us."
Not only Wang Geng thought so, all the soldiers present thought so.
If support from the military region arrives, they will charge out immediately.
They would rather go to the battlefield and fight the enemy than be tortured by this damn foreign language.
The soldiers were looking forward to it, shouting in their hearts: It must be the support of the military district!
"Hello everyone, we are support personnel from the military district. I am Song Youyou from the medical team."
"I'm Qiao Shan from the medical team."
"I'm He Wenqing from the engineering team."
Good news: they are indeed here to support us.
Bad news: there are only three of them, and they are just auxiliary forces with no combat power.
Everyone was disappointed and turned their eyes back to the paper reluctantly.
Gu Xiao looked at the reactions of these guys and knew what they were thinking.
He ordered, "Everyone, put down the information you have and take turns to stand guard."
Everyone was stunned.
"Captain, this information...doesn't need to be memorized anymore?"
"Aren't you guys complaining about not understanding foreign languages? Then wait until it's translated into Chinese before you memorize it.
Now, let the two comrades from the medical team go and treat Mr. Guo first."
After saying that, he took Song Youyou and Qiao Shan to another room, leaving them confused.
"No, what did you mean by that, Captain? I don't understand."
"Yeah, what do you mean we can remember it after it's translated into Chinese?"
"We didn't translate it into Chinese before, was it because we didn't want to? It was because we didn't know how!"
Everyone started discussing it.
Finally, someone noticed Wang Geng's expression, as if he knew everything but didn't say anything.
"Hey, hey, hey, Wang Geng, why aren't you saying anything? Are you trying to act like an expert?"
Wang Geng smiled calmly, "Stupid, the team leader told you to wait until the translation is done before you remember it, naturally because someone who can translate has arrived."
"who?"
"Our headmaster's wife, Comrade Song Youyou, is a senior translator."
“Wow—”
"Is this true?"
"Isn't that awesome?"
"Long live!"
…
With the arrival of Song Youyou and others, the pressure of the mission was suddenly reduced.
Mr. Guo's injuries were treated and his condition stabilized.
The information was also being translated. During the translation process, Song Youyou, who had scientific research experience, also memorized all of this information.
All of this made the originally depressing atmosphere here become much more relaxed.
The only one who felt more pressure was Gu Xiao.
"Why do you have such a sullen face? Are you unhappy to see me?" While Gu Xiao was pouring her some water, Song Youyou finally had time to talk about something unrelated to the task.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer."
Gu Xiao handed the cup of water to her, and after failing to hold back, he couldn't help but hold her other hand.
God knows, he almost went crazy when he first saw her.
Song Youyou comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Didn't they say they've sent someone to contact them? Maybe there will be good news soon..."
