Chapter 204 I thought you were dead outside
Mu Jiu took a large spoon and stirred the pot, then asked:
"These are the people who locked you up and didn't give you food or water, right?"
Qin Juan shook her head, then nodded. She drank some water and said in a hoarse voice:
“Not long after you left…rumors started to spread throughout the base…saying that Commander Fu and you had both died outside.
Some people believed the rumor and thought you would never come back.
In addition, many people selling vegetables and fruits met with accidents during those days, which caused panic among the people. No one even dared to go out to deliver vegetables and fruits to various places.
Lou Nan went to see Commander Duan to ask him for help, but he was always away from the military region, the base was not peaceful, and he was always maintaining stability in various areas.
On the night the base went haywire, someone on the farm drugged the food in the cafeteria.
Most of the soldiers guarding the door were poisoned and had no strength to deal with the attack from outside.
It was those men who took the opportunity to open the lock of the door from the inside and let the people outside in.
There were too many people coming and they brought guns. We couldn’t resist for long before we were caught and locked up.
These people came later to take over, but the fields on the farm had not been watered for several days and all the crops died.
They had no experience in farming, so they forced us to go out and farm. Many of us were burned to death by the scorching sun.
Too many people died, and we saw no results. Maybe they were afraid that if we all died, the farm would be gone.
They locked us up again, deprived us of food and water, hoping to make us submit and work for them.
I heard that the kids planting trees on the mountain were also targeted.
But fortunately, they can hide in the mountains and have the fruits on the trees to sustain their lives, which is better than our situation.
Everything is fine now, Boss, you are back! You are finally back!"
Qin Juan's tears flowed again, but this time it was because she was happy. How could the boss die so easily? Their persistence was right.
Mu Jiu figured out the whole story, but a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
This disaster seemed to have been planned by the Su family for a long time, but all the opportunities seemed to point to the starting point that Fu Hengyuan and she died outside...
It has to be said that the special forces are a very special existence in the official base, independent of the military jurisdiction of any party.
With strong equipment and high combat power, it is a special mobile team that can fight one against a hundred. It is indeed a heavy weapon that can threaten the Su family.
But Fu Hengyuan's invitation to her to go to the seaside base was clearly a confidential action, so why did it become a widely spread rumor?
During the half month that the large group was missing, it did look to outsiders like they had died at sea.
In fact, if there was no spiritual spring water from the space, this group of people would indeed die at sea.
But how did the official base know this?
As for contact, Fu Hengyuan would only inform Duan Ran of the news here.
But Duan Ran knew the seriousness of the matter and would not spread the news. After all, Duan Ran was very cautious when Fu Hengyuan was in Flour Country last time.
Could the problem lie within Fu Hengyuan's own team?
Mu Jiu thought about it and handed the big iron spoon in her hand to Qin Juan. She had to find Fu Hengyuan and tell him about this.
At this time, many people in the hall had already woken up. It seemed that they had no serious problems. They were just too hungry. If they had a few bowls of porridge and took good care of themselves, they would be able to recover.
Mu Jiu gave a few instructions, asked everyone to have a good rest, and then left the farm.
At this moment, Fu Hengyuan was in the cemetery on the east side of the base, but it was called a cemetery, but in fact it was just a mass grave.
Basically, everyone who dies in the base will be thrown here.
The special sunlight will cause the corpses to rot quickly, so the smell is particularly unpleasant.
At this moment, Fu Hengyuan was standing in front of several tombstones. They were the graves of his father, uncles, and Duan Ran.
It is also one of the few graves with a tombstone.
It is said that military personnel who participated in the melee at the base helped burn the bodies and erected tombstones.
It is a final respect to the old leaders so that they will not be left to die in the wilderness.
This is a power struggle among the top brass of the base. Soldiers are not retainers, and even if the leadership changes, they are still China's soldiers.
Military orders are above all else, and soldiers at the lower levels can only obey orders, regardless of human feelings or right or wrong.
Fu Hengyuan was in a very low mood. His father and old friend whom he admired were separated from each other in such a short time.
"My condolences." Mu Jiu reached out and patted Fu Hengyuan's shoulder. She could understand his feelings.
When her mother died, she felt like the sky had fallen, after all, her father was as good as non-existent.
It took me a long time to get over the sadness.
What’s more, it is Captain Fu who supports the entire official base in this difficult doomsday.
His death should have been a bigger blow to Fu Hengyuan.
Mu Jiu took out two bottles of Erguotou from her bag and handed them to Fu Hengyuan who was sitting next to the grave.
“I brought it from the farm. This wine is 62% alcohol, which should be enough to get you drunk.
There is also a bowl of porridge and a few meat buns, which is enough to make do with.
Cry for a while, then have some sleep, and cheer up as soon as possible. The entire base is still counting on you to take charge of the situation."
Fu Hengyuan looked up at her and reached out to take the wine. After being busy for such a long time, he had obviously lost weight, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, looking very haggard.
"Is everything okay at the farm?" Fu Hengyuan asked in a low voice.
"It's OK. All the people who need to be dealt with have been cleared out."
"Did the farm also suffer?" Fu Hengyuan asked with a frown.
“Well, someone thought that you and I were both dead, so they switched sides and went to the Su family and sold all your special forces.
Taking advantage of the turmoil at the base that night, I drugged everyone and opened the door.
When I went there, hundreds of people were having a dinner in the hall, cavalierly wasting the food and fruits that everyone had worked so hard to grow.
I'm afraid if I come back a few days later, the whole farm will be destroyed by those people."
At this point, Mu Jiu simply sat down beside him in front of the grave, leaned closer and asked the question in his mind:
“How many people at the base know about your departure?
Several places reported that they decided to take action only after hearing that you and I were dead. Maybe... someone leaked the news?"
Fu Hengyuan looked at Mu Jiu suspiciously, thinking quickly in his mind, and after a long time he asked what Mu Jiu wanted to say:
"You mean to say that someone around me tipped off the Su family about our disappearance at sea?"
Mu Jiu stared into Fu Hengyuan's eyes and nodded, "Yes, the scope can be narrowed down a bit.
It must be someone who followed you out and did not participate in the sea operation."
At this point, Mu Jiu suddenly remembered something and asked:
"By the way, didn't they say they would start besieging the command center building at 12 a.m. last night? How come they started so early?
It took me a lot of time to get here. Did you encounter any special situation, or were you ambushed by the Su family?"
"Who told you it was 12 o'clock in the morning?" Fu Hengyuan's tone suddenly became serious.
"Zhao Yue."
