Before long, the call was quickly connected, and a dignified male voice came from the receiver: "Command center, this is Xiao Shan. What's the matter?"
The young soldier dared not delay and quickly replied, "Reporting to the leader, there is a Red Army soldier here who specifically wants to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Xiao on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised, letting out a soft "Eh" before speaking.
"Oh? You mean the Red Army is looking for me? Right now, the two armies are locked in a stalemate. What could he possibly want with me at a time like this? Well, let's give him the phone and see what he says!"
Shen Xiaochuan carefully took the phone from the young soldier, took a deep breath, and said, "Hello! This is Shen Xiaochuan from the Red Army."
A deep, slightly authoritative voice came from the other end of the phone: "Shen Xiaochuan, tell me, what exactly do you want to see me about?"
Although his tone sounded somewhat serious, Shen Xiaochuan knew that this was just Commander Xiao's usual style; Shen Xiaochuan had dealt with him more than once in his previous life.
Shen Xiaochuan didn't mince words and answered directly: "Reporting to Commander Xiao, while I was evading the Blue Army's pursuit, I accidentally ran into a cave."
"At first I thought it was just an ordinary cave, but as I walked deeper into the cave, I was surprised to find that there was a laboratory hidden inside."
"Judging from the signs at the scene, this laboratory should be a remnant from a war a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, Commander Xiao, who had been sitting in his chair, jumped to his feet and urgently asked, "Are you sure? This is no laughing matter!"
"Commander Xiao, please rest assured, I guarantee with my integrity and party loyalty that every word I have said is absolutely true."
"Moreover, we are right at the cave entrance now, and we can take you to see the specific situation at any time."
Shen Xiaochuan answered decisively and quickly reported their location to Commander Xiao in detail, "Our current location is xxx..."
"Okay, if I'm not mistaken, you have 13 people on your side, including yourself. Now, just guard that cave entrance and wait for our people to come and take over." Commander Xiao hung up the phone after saying that.
Without hesitation, Xiao Shan picked up the phone and quickly dialed the number of the Red Army headquarters.
He spoke firmly into the microphone, "This is Xiao Shan. Get your Commander Wu here immediately."
A moment later, Commander Wu's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Haha, Lao Xiao! Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Are you perhaps surrendering to me?"
Xiao Shan frowned and shouted back, "Hey Wu, stop joking with me! There's something important right now. Let's pause this exercise!"
Then, he recounted in detail what he had just learned from Shen Xiaochuan.
After listening to Xiao Shan's account, Commander Wu's laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by a serious and earnest tone: "Alright, in that case, let's cancel the exercise. Currently, the closest team we can reach is only about 500 meters away."
Time passed by, and after about 10 minutes, a group of soldiers in military uniforms, marching in neat formation, began to arrive one after another.
They acted swiftly, and soon gathered over a hundred people, who dispersed and guarded the cave entrance closely.
Not long after, a military jeep sped up and stopped beside the crowd. The door opened, and the first person to step out was Commander Xiao Shan.
He scanned the surrounding crowd urgently and shouted, "Who is Shen Xiaochuan?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Xiaochuan, who was waiting, suddenly looked up. When he saw Commander Xiaoshan, he couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth.
At the same time, he quickly stood up and answered loudly, "I am Shen Xiaochuan."
"How old are you? Are you an adult? Why are you joining the army?" Commander Xiao asked, frowning.
"I'm 16 years old this year. I was specially recruited and I'm not an adult yet," Shen Xiaochuan answered honestly.
"You've been inside, what's it like? Tell me!" Just as Commander Xiao was asking, another military vehicle arrived, and Commander Wu got out of the car.
"Old Xiao, I didn't expect you to get here first!" Commander Wu strode forward quickly and shouted in a loud voice.
Commander Xiao smiled and replied in a friendly and amiable manner, "Haha, Old Wu, you've arrived! Actually, I just got here a little while ago."
"Come on, Comrade Shen, could you please tell us in detail what the situation is like inside?"
Commander Xiao's expression was serious, his gaze fixed on Shen Xiaochuan, who stood ramrod straight in front of him.
Upon hearing the order, Shen Xiaochuan dared not delay in the slightest. He immediately straightened his posture and respectfully gave the two commanders a standard military salute.
Then, he took a deep breath and began to recount the events of that time in an orderly and detailed manner.
As Shen Xiaochuan narrated, it became impossible to guess whether there was any danger inside.
After listening to Shen Xiaochuan's report, Commander Xiao's relaxed expression gradually disappeared, replaced by an increasingly solemn look.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Fang thoughtfully, as if pondering some important question.
After a while, Commander Xiao turned his head and looked at Commander Wu beside him.
At this moment, Commander Wu also had a furrowed brow and a worried expression on his face.
After exchanging a glance, Commander Xiao broke the silence and asked in a heavy tone, "Old Wu, in your opinion, how should we handle this matter?"
Commander Wu did not answer immediately, but continued to ponder for a moment.
Finally, he slowly raised his head, looked at Commander Xiao and said, "Hmm... based on the information we have so far, I think Comrade Shen's guess is very likely correct."
"Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of our comrades, I have notified the expert group in advance. During this period, we must remain highly vigilant and closely monitor the development of the situation."
"At the same time, we must also be prepared to deal with all kinds of emergencies." After saying this, Commander Wu fell into deep thought again.
"That's right. It's safer to wait for the professionals to arrive with gas masks before conducting further investigations."
"After all, no one can be sure whether there are still viruses remaining inside." At this point, Commander Xiao's expression became increasingly serious and worried.
Then, Commander Wu turned his gaze to Shen Xiaochuan, who was standing to the side, and said with a slight apology, "Comrade Shen Xiaochuan, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to cooperate more this time."
