The winter morning was particularly cold. When Su Nian and Chu Beichen went out, they found that sporadic snow was falling from the sky again. When they arrived at the airport, the plane they were going to take had already started.
Su Nian and Chu Beichen boarded the plane. The cabin, which could seat fifty or sixty people, was now occupied by only a dozen or so people, all of whom were men, and most of them were young people, estimated to be no older than forty years old. Lan Zhaoyu was sitting in the front row.
Lan Zhaoyu spotted Su Nian and Chu Beichen and gestured for them to stop. Then he stood up and introduced them to the others on the plane. "This is Su Nian. She's our team doctor for this mission. This is Chu Beichen. He's our liaison officer!"
The reactions of the people in the cabin were quite dull. After glancing at Su Nian and Chu Beichen, they all fell silent, leaving Lan Zhaoyu feeling quite awkward. He lowered his voice and explained to them, "These are veterans. They might be a bit unruly, but don't take it personally!"
Su Nian is easygoing and doesn't really care about other people's attitudes, while Chu Beichen has always regarded this team as his idol. It seems normal to him that his idol is showing off.
Seeing that neither of them cared, Lan Zhaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Feel free to take a seat here. I'll welcome you when we get there!"
Chu Beichen pulled Su Nian along and found a seat in the middle of the plane. The people there all had tough expressions, and it was obvious they weren't the type to be approached easily. Su Nian and Chu Beichen gave up on trying to interact with them and sat down to talk quietly.
After they sat down, Han Qing also arrived with Tang Xin. This couple was treated even colder than Su Nian and Chu Beichen. When Lan Zhaoyu introduced them to everyone, no one even looked up.
This made Han Qing, who was always arrogant, very embarrassed. He pulled Tang Xin and hid in the back of the cabin in shame.
Shortly after takeoff, the crew brought them refreshments. They were all packaged foods, dry and featureless. Su Nian and Chu Beichen were too lazy to eat them.
At this moment, the plane has flown above the clouds and the morning sun has risen. Unlike the gloomy sky on the ground, the sun is shining brightly above the clouds, as if it is another world. The high clouds are dyed golden by the sun.
Su Nian and Chu Beichen's mood also improved.
After flying for six hours, the plane finally landed at an unknown small airport. At first glance, the airport looked like a large playground. Lan Zhaoyu led everyone off the plane. Just like when they came, almost no one spoke and everyone was silent.
Su Nian was very puzzled and asked Chu Beichen in a low voice, "No one is talking. Could it be that they already knew the content of this mission?"
"No, no one knows," Chu Beichen explained to Su Nian, "For this kind of mission, in order to prevent confidentiality, the mission details will only be announced to the relevant personnel after arriving at the destination!"
So that's how it is. Su Nian finally understood. It's not that everyone knows about it, but that's the rule of this mission. Confidentiality comes first!
Su Nian had never been to the north before. When she looked at the native Tang Xin, she saw that she also had a confused look on her face. The two little girls had long been frightened by the solemn atmosphere on the plane. They didn't dare to speak and just pursed their lips and continued on their way in silence.
The convoy that came to pick them up drove on the desolate road for more than two hours before arriving at their destination, a yard standing in the wilderness without even a house number at the door.
However, next to the big iron gate stood two fully armed guards.
