Chapter 860: Shameful!!
Upon hearing this, Old Jin was surprised: "Two? The people you know are extraordinary! These ten people are among the best in the military in terms of physical fitness and other aspects! They don't even have an easy time finding people like this, and you have two of them by your side? Excellent people are surrounded by excellent people?"
Gu Yin chuckled helplessly: "What does this have to do with me? It's all due to their own hard work and the country's cultivation! By the way, Elder Jin, should we include Xiao Sheng in the training quota as well?"
After all, Xiaosheng had taken her medicine, and his physical condition was even better than that of the people in the army. But having this body alone is not enough; he also needs to learn various skills. Otherwise, if something happens in space, he won't be able to save himself, and it will all be for nothing.
Old Jin shook his head: "Forget it. He hasn't experienced the army's grueling training and is the old commander's only son. Even if he wanted to, those people wouldn't agree. He can just help out at the base from now on. We won't waste the spot on him."
After saying that, he didn't want to continue the topic and looked at Gu Yin: "Everyone's here. You should check the situation today and make some preparations. No matter what, we have to start tomorrow. Our experiments here are also going well. I hope that on the day you succeed, our weapons and equipment can also take to the skies. Good luck!"
Gu Yin scratched her head, wanting to say that you're thinking too soon. It's actually quite simple for me. Improving my physical mechanics is really easy, but as for weapons and equipment, well, let's take it slow.
After lunch, Gu Yin was about to take a break when there was a knock on her office door.
"You're here? Why don't you rest for a bit? Come in." Seeing the people coming in, Gu Yin wasn't surprised at all and let them in.
Closing the door, Lan Yan looked at her younger sister, whom she hadn't heard from in a long time, and said with a touch of emotion, "I never expected we'd meet here. Is it a coincidence, or is it you...?"
Gu Yin rolled her eyes: "Stop your imagination! I don't have that ability, and even if I did, I wouldn't know how! I only recently found out about the selection process, but I wasn't involved, not even Elder Jin. It was all done secretly by people above! If you don't believe me, don't you believe yourself?"
“I told him you’re not like that, but he’s been worried that you’re the one who gave us this opportunity. Ever since he met you, he’s been preoccupied and insisted on coming here with me right now!” You Niannian looked at Lan Yan helplessly.
That's right, the people who came were Lan Yan and his wife.
"To be honest, I was also surprised to see the two of you, but I have no doubt that it's because of me. Don't forget the conditions for coming here."
Lan Yan nodded: "I'm the head of the National Security Bureau. I was there throughout the selection process. Putting aside basic requirements like age and appearance, the requirement was that you had completed an S-level mission on your own. That alone eliminated 99% of our department. There aren't many people who have completed S-level missions, but there are a few. The requirement of completing a mission on your own is very difficult. You need to be a top-tier soldier! That's how I was selected. But your sister-in-law, you know, she's very hardworking and excellent, but so far she's only completed an A-level mission, and that was in a team. That's why I had second thoughts when I saw you."
This made him think a lot. There were so many colleagues who were more outstanding than his wife, but his wife was chosen instead. So...
To be honest, You Niannian was a little apprehensive, but she trusted the organization! The organization's decisions were never wrong; they must have their reasons for choosing her! Besides, she also trusted Lan Yan and Gu Yin, and believed in their character! The more she thought about it, the more confident she became!
"Now I can tell you that I am the person in charge of this project. The fact that you two were selected at the same time means that you must have something in common. Excluding our family relationship, according to their selection criteria, why do you think you two were selected?"
Gu Yin herself had guessed it, and was certain that it was exactly as she had guessed.
The two thought quietly for a while, and then You Niannian's eyes lit up: "The thing you brought back from Dabai Mountain! Is it because we often eat at home that our physical condition has gradually improved! I may not meet the other criteria, but this one happens to be the most important one in this selection! So I was selected as an exception!"
Lan Yan, however, thought of something else entirely. They took those pills at home from time to time. If it really was related to the Great White Mountain, wouldn't the troops stationed there have even better physical conditions? Therefore…
Seeing that both of them had their own guesses, Gu Yin realized that Lan Yan had already figured out the real reason.
Gu Yin nodded: "You all know the answer yourselves. Although it is indeed somewhat related to me, it's just a coincidence, so don't feel guilty. And don't gossip when you get out." She doesn't have that many medicines to make pills!
The two of them knew the importance of the matter, and Lan Yan changed the subject: "It's good that the three of us are in the same base this time. At least we can know each other's situation and take care of each other."
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "Maybe in this lifetime, the three of us will be the only two relatives we ever see! This mission is very important. I'm okay, I'm just doing research. But it's different for you. See those fighter jets outside? Those are fighter jets that will fight in outer space. Although it's just a model design, no one can say for sure what the future holds. And you, you are soldiers, soldiers who will pilot fighter jets and fight in the universe! You are those who are going against the tide of life and death. Aren't you scared?"
That was, after all, uncharted territory, where everything was unknown. Even if one could get out, it would be difficult to return.
You Niannian shook her head: "I'm not afraid! On the contrary, I'm looking forward to it! I look forward to fighting alongside your brother, and even more so to being the first warriors to step into the starry sky! No matter what the outcome, as long as we can bring useful information to our comrades later on, it will be worth it! Someone has to go to the mountains and seas, so why can't it be me? Ayin, the best place for a warrior is the battlefield. We've been ready since the moment we enlisted!"
Lan Yan sighed, "You know, ever since I came back from Myanmar, I haven't received any missions above S level. I even changed careers. Although both are about serving the people, you know I prefer my battlefield to be on the front lines. After receiving this mission, I couldn't sleep all night. Now that I know what this mission entails, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight either."
Gu Yin was too lazy to listen to what he was saying and waved him away: "Go back and rest. If you don't rest well and it affects tomorrow's test, you might be sent back. Don't say you know me then, I'll be too embarrassed!"
Lan Yan: "...Don't worry! We're leaving!" After saying that, he pulled his wife away, still somewhat angry.
After leaving the house, the two walked towards the dormitory. Lan Yan looked at the fascinating models in the square and said in a low voice, "When there are outsiders around, we shouldn't get too close to A Yin. Here, there are only comrades-in-arms, no relatives. You know, there will be gossip everywhere. I don't want to cause her any trouble."
You Niannian knew his worries: "Don't worry, it's best for the person I exceptionally took in to keep a low profile. Being too high-profile will only lead to a quicker demise. I don't want to be sent back. Ayin said she's ashamed!"
Blue Flame: "..." There was no need to say the last sentence!
