They had only walked for ten minutes when they encountered several groups of patrol personnel.
The security here is very tight.
Lin Chuchu's expression also turned serious. She felt that this base was not simple, and her mission this time was probably not simple either.
The two people who brought them in escorted them to the door of a room and then left. Lin Chuchu took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
After the people inside said "Please come in," Lin Chuchu went in and said, "Reporting, Lin Chuchu is here to report for duty."
When Lin Chuchu saw who was inside, she was shocked. "Teacher? Professor Yu, Professor Song...you..."
The person in the room was her English professor, along with the four scientists who had been reported dead on the news.
Old Yu looked at Lin Chuchu with a big smile, "How come we're still alive? Haha, of course the country saved us. Comrade Chuchu, it's been a long time."
Lin Chuchu's eyes reddened with excitement, "That's wonderful, you're all alright."
As for why they are alive, it's simply because special forces rescued them and arranged for them to fake their deaths, but they can never live under their original identities again.
They can no longer even see their families. Everything from the past has become a thing of the past. Only if they die can China announce their achievements and let the outside world know about them.
This is to protect scientists and also to lower foreign guard.
Lin Chuchu rubbed her eyes and grinned.
Several scientists couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, enough of that. We're here to give you a mission."
The old professor was very satisfied with his student; Lin Chuchu's translation skills had surpassed his own.
Lin Chuchu said seriously, "Teacher, please speak."
"We brought back some things this time, but when the soldiers were rescuing us, they accidentally dropped some of them into the sea, destroying some of them, but they were all insignificant."
"The other characters are a bit blurry. We hope you can cooperate with us to restore the item to its original state and translate it completely."
"Old Yu said with a solemn expression."
Lin Chuchu immediately nodded and agreed to do her best.
The restoration work was very difficult, much more difficult than direct translation. Lin Chuchu and the others spent every day discussing it together.
Everyone else was older than Lin Chuchu, and since they volunteered to work overtime, Lin Chuchu had no choice but to accompany them.
Lin Chuchu would only rest for one night when she couldn't hold on any longer after several days.
The place here is great. Although there are no windows, the room is not stuffy at all and is well-ventilated.
Outside the door was a corridor. She lived on the third floor. Looking down from upstairs, the building was brightly lit, and she could see people working non-stop.
She didn't know what kind of research was being conducted on the fifth basement level, and she really didn't want to risk her life to uncover its secrets; she just wanted to complete her own work.
She held a glass of juice, leaned on the railing, and looked at the crowd below, but she wasn't actually thinking about anything; her mind was completely blank.
Suddenly, an air raid siren sounded, followed by the blaring of loudspeakers.
"Non-combat personnel, please return indoors immediately and lock the doors!"
"Non-combat personnel please..."
...
The same sound rang out three times. When the sound rang out for the first time, Lin Chuchu immediately turned around and went into the room, locking the door behind her.
Several gunshots rang out outside, followed by footsteps that passed by her door several times.
Lin Chuchu's expression was tense, her usual ease gone. Armed attack? Betrayal?
Those who can get into the base are not ordinary people.
Just then, a rumbling sound came from outside, and the ground beneath their feet shook. It was a bomb.
Lin Chuchu curled up on the bed. She couldn't go out now; going out would only cause trouble. Her main concern was protecting herself; she didn't care about anything else.
The more you know, the faster you die.
It took about half an hour before someone announced that the battle alarm was lifted and that this was just an exercise.
Lin Chuchu didn't know whether others believed it or not, but she certainly didn't.
With the alarm lifted, they were allowed to leave their rooms. After a moment's thought, Lin Chuchu decided to go out and take a look.
The base remained unchanged, showing no signs of panic. People continued to perform their duties, but the lingering smell of gunpowder in the air confirmed that everything that had just happened was real.
Lin Chuchu could clearly feel that in the short time she had been out, several cold gazes had already swept over her.
Although Lin Chuchu had a gossipy nature, no one could answer her questions.
After spending some time in the corridor, Lin Chuchu returned to her room, not feeling particularly scared.
Unlike the previous times when they were abducted and taken up the mountain, this time they had soldiers with them, troops they could trust, so she had nothing to worry about.
The next day, I met the old professor on the road.
Good morning, teacher.
The old professor's gloomy expression softened somewhat. "How were you? You weren't scared yesterday, were you? You definitely didn't sleep well, did you?"
Lin Chuchu shook her head. "Teacher, I wasn't scared yesterday, and I slept pretty well."
The old professor patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, what's going on here!"
No one expected that a spy had infiltrated the heavily guarded base and almost smuggled the secrets out.
Fortunately, someone was alert and desperately stopped the spy, but that colleague was killed in the process.
Not only that colleague, but several soldiers also died.
He hated these people to death; if it weren't for them, China wouldn't have lost so many lives.
After this incident, the higher-ups will definitely conduct a purge, hoping to dig out all the deeply hidden spies.
Lin Chuchu didn't speak, but seeing his bad expression, she knew that someone must have sacrificed their life yesterday.
