shock
Lu Tingxiao made a "tsk" sound, seeming to be a little impatient with this introduction.
"This ambassador is no ordinary person." Xiao Yang was one of the few people who could ignore his attitude and continued, "Since he took office, China has suddenly become extremely assertive in international affairs. From being content with a second place in the past, it has now become on par with Country M."
"Ambassador Lu has made an indelible contribution to China's achievement of an outstanding international status."
"It's just that he doesn't like to show his face in the media. Otherwise, with his skills and looks, he would have long been the dream lover of thousands of Chinese girls."
There was an uproar below, and everyone stared at Lu Tingxiao.
Some people couldn't believe it, some were extremely impressed, and some were so excited that they wanted to scream.
Zuo Hao exploded: "Holy crap! You're not kidding me, are you? Brother Lu is so awesome!"
"This, this is no worse than the Prime Minister of a country!"
Peng Gaoxuan also discussed with Xiaogang, Junzi and the others: "Fuck, we have been with such an awesome person all this time?"
"We seemed to be a bit disrespectful to him at first..."
"It's not our fault, he's always been so fierce..."
Even Ning Fu praised him: "It can indeed be called...successful and famous."
Only Ling Shi was completely stunned.
I can't say a word.
It’s actually true.
What he said about his embassy work was true.
Not only that, he is also an outstanding politician who represents China and works hard to deal with Country M, and is an important figure who can influence the country's destiny.
Comparing myself with him...
Ling Shi has always been very confident in himself. Not only did he single-handedly undertake the research work of such an important project as Long Ji, he also served as the deputy captain of the White Eagle Team.
He believes that among people of his age group, there are few who have made greater contributions to China than he has.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tingxiao, who is only a few years older than him, has made such great achievements.
The subtle sense of superiority that he had in his heart suddenly exploded and disappeared completely in front of Lu Tingxiao.
But strangely, he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Instead, there is a natural sense of surprise and pride.
No wonder, along the way, this person was able to connect with his own brain circuits at any time and communicate with him without any obstacles.
No wonder their ideas often coincide.
Ling Shi unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth slightly. Perhaps this is the spiritual connection between excellent people?
etc.
politician......
He suddenly remembered the "performance" in the theater where Lu Tingxiao held two puppets.
What did he say? He was a world-class performer?
Is what he meant...is it about being a politician and being hypocritical and unobtrusive with the leaders of Country M, and playing all the necessary roles according to the needs of the negotiations?
Proud, arrogant, cautious, hesitant, even weak and pitiful...
Is everything just a means for him to control people's hearts?
Ling Shi smiled, finding it quite interesting.
It seems that I can no longer trust this person's words easily in the future.
Who knows when he will suddenly come up with something.
Everyone talked for a while, their eyes constantly glancing at Lu Tingxiao who was standing in front of them.
But he stood there unrestrained and unburdened, apparently not at all embarrassed, and accepted both the cheeky ridicule and the ambassador's outstanding achievements with complete composure.
But these glances became more and more unscrupulous and more and more passionate... as if they were watching a big tiger in the zoo.
Lu Tingxiao finally couldn't help it: "That's enough!"
He looked up at the sun above the clouds and said, "It's getting late, and I have work to do."
Xiao Yang, who was watching the show on the side, seemed to react at this moment, rubbing his hands and saying: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot about the important matter."
He finally had enough of the fun and started talking about today's topic:
"First, a car has been prepared for you on Maple Leaf Avenue. All supplies, including weapons, food, emergency power supplies, and documents, are ready."
"Secondly," he pointed at the people in the second row with a slightly disdainful expression, "From now on, you must treat yourselves like soldiers. Seize every opportunity to train. When you're out there and encounter a living person, don't embarrass our Chinese military."
"Third, that... Ning Fu, right? You're the team doctor, so take care of yourself and don't get involved in this brawl with a bunch of roughnecks."
"Oh, by the way, isn't there a burden named Yi Yan?"
Yi Yan, who was standing next to Peng Gaoxuan, raised her hand tremblingly and said with a red face, "Yes, it's me."
"Yes, that's you." Xiao Yang pointed at him and said, "You are also a Dragon Warrior. I have only one request for you: don't hold us back when fighting the corrupted people."
"Oh." Yi Yan's face turned even redder. He also knew that he got into this team through nepotism.
"Okay. I've said everything I need to say." Xiao Yang waved his hand: "Disband, get ready to get in the car."
"Huh?" Everyone was still confused: "What's going on? Where are we going?"
Lu Tingxiao could finally give orders with confidence: "Everyone, listen up! Let's go to Country M."
Ling Shi stepped forward and grabbed him, asking the key question: "Does Uncle Yu know about this?"
Lu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows: "Yu...what? Who?"
He grabbed Ling Shi's arm and left: "Don't rush to recognize relatives and friends. The most important thing is to get out of the base. We can talk about other things when we come back."
——
The supplies Xiao Yang prepared for them were indeed in place.
They got in the car and left the base, and saw a pre-prepared plane on the lawn. It was a fighter transport plane.
When everyone gets on the plane, the first thing they see is the uniform combat uniforms on the cabin seats.
Military green camouflage, lightweight, warm, and breathable. It's a successor to the one Makino and his friends wore.
Without waiting for anyone to tell them to, they all began to undress and change. In less than ten minutes, all the men were dressed in combat uniforms.
Zuo Hao touched the fabric of the clothes and smiled foolishly: "It's good to have a knitted fabric. This clothes feels really comfortable."
Ignoring the behavior and expressions of this group of people, just looking at their uniform clothes with broad shoulders and long legs, it looks quite like that.
This time, Muye was the main driver and Chu Yi was the deputy driver.
Ling Shi got some peace and quiet, sitting in the VIP seat in the first row of the cabin and drinking tea.
The plane took off smoothly, flew into the soaring clouds in the sky, and headed towards Country M.
The sunlight spread across the clouds, creating a golden paradise.
Looking out from the cabin window, it feels like a paradise on earth.
While drinking Liubao tea that had been aged for more than ten years, Ling Shi felt that something was wrong.
What's wrong?
I can’t say it again.
It wasn't until he finished two cups of tea that Ling Shi reacted.
Where is Lu Tingxiao?
Why didn't you sit with him today?
He turned his head and looked behind him.
Lu Tingxiao sat in the second to last row at the rear of the cabin, next to Ma Minghong.
Oh, yes, Ma Minghong was his subordinate when he joined the army. He finally got a chance to reminisce about the past, so he should have a lot to talk about.
Ling Shi turned around without thinking much.
Just as he expected, Ma Minghong was standing next to Lu Tingxiao, his eyes gleaming as he spoke. However, he wasn't talking about serious matters, but rather gossip.
His curiosity finally overcame his awe of Lu Tingxiao, and he decided to sacrifice his life for the gossip.
"Captain Lu," Ma Minghong cautiously leaned closer to him. "What's your relationship with... Dr. Ling?"
Lu Tingxiao snorted: "What do you think the relationship is?"
Ma Minghong chuckled twice: "I dare not guess casually. If I guess wrong, you will cut me again."
Lu Tingxiao glanced at him and asked, "Have I ever cut you before?"
Ma Minghong nodded seriously: "As long as there is training, you will cut me."
He gestured. "Sometimes eight times a day. Have you forgotten? Hey, we've all been punished for nothing."
Lu Tingxiao stretched lazily. "Since entering politics, I rarely hit people directly. I've almost forgotten the days before."
"I think being a soldier is more enjoyable," Ma Minghong said. "I've heard that officers never say anything they think. And if they do, not one out of eight is true. Captain Lu, is that true?"
Lu Tingxiao: "Of course not."
He paused and continued, "None of the eighteen sentences is true, that is the truth."
Ma Minghong bent over and laughed for a long time.
After laughing, he asked again: "Well, at least you are sincere to Dr. Ling, right?"
Lu Tingxiao didn't respond.
Ma Minghong's smile gradually froze on his face.
After a long while, he asked in a very small voice, "Is it fake too?"
After saying that, he glanced at the first row through the gap between the seats with a sly look.
Although it was impossible for such a small sound to be transmitted over such a long distance, Ma Minghong still felt guilty.
Lu Tingxiao smiled and finally spoke: "He suits my taste. His looks, temper, and brains are all good."
"But...in this world, there's not so much love that's stronger than gold, so undying..." He paused before continuing, "He's useful to me, so naturally I want him to feel...that I'm treating him well. The more he feels that, the more he'll repay me."
Ma Minghong pursed his lips, fell silent, and leaned back in his chair.
He wanted to slap himself twice at this moment. How could his EQ be so low as to ask such a question?
It's like asking a man who is about to marry a rich wife whether he loves her...
However, Ma Minghong also felt a little disgusted with Lu Tingxiao.
It's fine that you have low emotional intelligence, but your team leader's emotional intelligence is so high that it's infuriating. There's no one you can't deal with, only those you don't want to deal with. Why do you speak such heart-wrenching words to me from the bottom of your heart?
Even if I am your old subordinate, there is no need to be so frank!
How am I going to face Dr. Ling in the future?!
Why......
Otherwise I should apply to transfer to another team.
I just didn't know if I could go back after just applying to be on the first team. ...
Just when Ma Minghong was worried about his future and personal safety, Ling Shi had already fallen asleep.
He leaned his head on the highly reclined backrest of the VIP seat, listening to the beautiful and soothing music in his ears, and soon fell asleep.
In the dream, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and the spring breeze is blowing.
He was standing in the lobby on the first floor of the First Research Institute, taking the heavy transparent box from President Cui.
Inside the box was the arm of a strange species he had never seen before.
Dark, rough, and with a terrifying grainy feel.
Bang--
A big hole suddenly appeared on the floor, right under Ling Shi's feet.
He fell down, down...
Ling Shi opened his eyes suddenly.
The feeling of falling was so real.
It took him two seconds to realize he was on a plane.
The captain's room was broadcasting: "The plane is descending and encountering turbulence. Please fasten your seat belts."
"We will land in the capital of Country M, Newk, in 10 minutes."
Ling Shi checked his seat belt and looked out the window.
Through the clouds, the outline of the ground can be vaguely seen.
The towering buildings are densely packed on this land, some with pointed roofs and some with round bodies, fully demonstrating the aesthetics of modern architecture.
Unfortunately, there is an air of decay and death between the buildings.
This city, once one of the most important in the world, has disappeared in this catastrophe.
Ling Shi heard footsteps behind him.
Lu Tingxiao walked past him and went straight into the captain's room.
Soon, his voice came from the radio: "Everyone, we will soon land at the Dragon Horn Research Institute in Newk City, Country M."
"This place has been surrounded by corrupt people. Please prepare for battle."
