Chapter 99 It turns out it's still there
Qi An took off at 11:20 a.m. and chatted with the "invading enemy" for half an hour.
The enemy attack alarm at the main base went off half an hour ago. The people at the base had just recovered a little from one wave of panic when they were plunged into a new and even greater wave of panic!
Many people hadn't even opened their emergency survival kits yet; they got up in the dark, grabbed their bags, and ran downstairs.
However, the alarm was downgraded after ten minutes, and Tan Fu informed the new student base of Xu Zhuoxing's identity and purpose.
However, all the towers on the south wall remained on high alert, and their fully charged laser cannons were all aimed at the two figures in the air.
The base commander stared at the images transmitted back by the reconnaissance plane, at the two people hanging in mid-air who looked like they were having a pleasant conversation, and sweat was dripping from their foreheads and palms.
He couldn't help but ask the two laser cannons, "At the current aiming angle, can you hit two people with one shot?"
But the person who responded to him from the other side of the gun emplacement was not the operator, but Tan Fu.
Tan Fu replied with two words: "Idiot!"
When Tan Fu replied, for safety reasons, the commander-in-chief of the new base, who was still at Wei 3 and had not yet returned, continued to remotely monitor the two artillery batteries and the tower on the south wall, issuing orders as follows:
"Don't fire! Don't engage in any provocative behavior!"
Mao Anlin at the North Base 1 also instructed Tan Fu: "Just be on guard, don't launch an attack."
Tan Fu rolled his eyes at Mao Anlin even more, but unfortunately his eyes were hidden inside his helmet, so Mao Anlin couldn't see them.
"I'm not stupid!" she said. "An'an said Xu Zhuoxing is even better than her!"
She did understand the idiot base manager's concerns.
The base commander knew nothing about Xu Zhuoxing, who had suddenly appeared, and only listened to her two sentences of introduction.
The base commander still didn't trust Qi An, fearing she might be turned against him by the new Ash Priest.
Fortunately, both the new commander-in-chief and Mao Anlin, regardless of whether they trusted him or not, had some understanding of their own abilities.
Mao Anlin was less wary and more surprised. He immediately had the secret files retrieved and read them again.
All the officers in the command room read it aloud, and one officer with several general's stars on his shoulders said:
"If what he said is true, if all these years it really has been this... Colonel Xu who has been suppressing Qiu Yunmeng, the strongest Ash Priestess on the continent, then he has done a great service to the country!"
Mao Anlin did not deny this. He glanced at the man on the screen, whose gray hair was messy and who was shaking his head and laughing as he spoke.
Twenty years ago, when he was a junior in college, he watched the entire launch of the "Jiutian" manned lunar probe spacecraft live.
The commander who almost became an internet sensation with just a few seconds of close-up footage is this very person.
"Does he agree to speak with us?" Mao Anlin asked.
"What level of call is it? Is it just you exchanging a few words with him, or is it the kind of call involving a negotiation delegation?" Tan Fu immediately relayed Xu Zhuoxing's reply.
Upon hearing this, Mao Anlin sensed the other party's aversion to a serious conversation and quickly said, "It's just a few words."
The headphones arrived quickly. Xu Zhuoxing seemed to have not touched electronic devices for many years, feeling both curious and nostalgic.
The new military headset has a somewhat complicated set of functions, but he put it on after touching it a couple of times.
Mao Anlin's voice was cautious and gentle: "Colonel Xu, hello. My name is Mao Anlin, and I am a student from the National University of Defense Technology, class of 2032. I have always admired you."
Xu Zhuoxing's attitude was originally casual yet wary, but upon hearing this opening remark, he immediately laughed: "So you're a junior."
He sighed deeply, "University feels like something from a past life."
"It's a matter of this lifetime, and I'm so glad you're still alive."
I'm calling you just to say thank you.
"I am now the chairman of the National Security Council. On behalf of the country and the 30 million surviving people, I would like to express my gratitude to you," Mao Anlin said softly.
The night wind was fierce, fluttering the man's oversized clothes like a loosely draped yet subtly powerful flag.
There seemed to be a momentary pause at the corner of his mouth, but after that, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "I appreciate it... It's nothing."
It's only right to give the bugs a good beating, just like those dozen or so missiles from back then.
Xu Zhuoxing was only lucid for ten minutes at that moment, and while he was grabbing Qiu Yunmeng, he kept thinking: Where is the theater command? Where is the General Staff? Are they just standing there eating shit? Drop a nuclear bomb!
The wind was strangely chilly, and she was getting quite stiff from standing for so long, so Xu Zhuoxing took off her headphones and tossed them back to Qi An.
"I came to fight Qiu Yunmeng, but I missed it. I just came to find you this time."
Qi An had been somewhat dazed, but upon hearing this, he looked up and asked, "You just said...we, mother and daughter..."
"You and your daughter are both quite remarkable, you almost have that 'chosen ones' vibe," Xu Zhuoxing laughed.
As I just mentioned, six-winged beings have strong vitality, and your mother, Ye Xiao, is also a six-winged being.
Do you want to come with me to see her?
