At night, Lin Yuexi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She was thinking about leaving her familiar home and going to a completely new environment. She had both a yearning for scientific research and curiosity about the unknown life.
Gong Mufeng seemed to sense her thoughts, and he gently held her hand and said, "Don't worry, Yuexi. I will always be by your side when we get to the army. We will face any difficulties together."
Lin Yuexi turned her head and looked at Gong Mufeng's determined eyes. A warm feeling surged in her heart and she nodded.
In the next two days, Lin Yuexi and Gong Mufeng began to prepare for joining the army.
Lin Yuexi was packing her clothes and daily necessities, and she also did not forget to pack some important review materials. She thought that even if she arrived at the army, she could not delay her college entrance examination review.
Gong Mufeng was busy communicating with the troops to arrange comfortable accommodation and a convenient working environment for Lin Yuexi.
Although Gong Jinyao was still a little unhappy, she began to help Lin Yuexi pack her luggage, and kept muttering: "Sister-in-law, if you have any problems in the army, you must tell me, and I will go to my brother to settle the score. Also, you must eat on time, rest well, and take good care of yourself and the baby."
Lin Yuexi looked at Gong Jinyao, her heart full of emotion. She took her hand and said, "Jinyao, thank you. Don't worry, I will. You and Aunt Zhang should also take good care of yourselves at home. I'll trouble you to take care of Ziyan and Xiyun."
Finally, the day of departure arrived.
That morning, the sun shone across the courtyard, and Gong Qiheng and Ye Shihan also came.
Lin Yuexi and Gong Mufeng carried their luggage and stood in the yard to say goodbye to Zhang Ma, Gong Jinyao, Ziyan and Xiyun.
With tears in her eyes, Zhang's mother held Lin Yuexi's hand and gave her many instructions; Gong Jinyao hugged Lin Yuexi tightly, not wanting to let go; Ziyan and Xiyun also said sensibly: "Mom, you have to come back early, we will be obedient."
Lin Yuexi held back her tears, hugged and said goodbye to them one by one, and then, accompanied by Gong Mufeng, got on the jeep to the army.
The car slowly drove away from the courtyard. Lin Yuexi looked out the window at the familiar streets and the home that was gradually moving away. She knew that she was about to embark on a new journey in life.
The car sped along the winding road. Lin Yuexi looked at the scenery receding outside the window, feeling mixed emotions.
Gong Mufeng noticed her emotions and gently held her hand, conveying silent comfort.
Lin Yuexi leaned back in her chair, her hand resting lightly on her slightly bulging belly, looking out the window at the green hills and trees passing by rapidly. Her heart was filled with anticipation for the unknown scientific research life, but also with a hint of reluctance to leave the familiar environment.
Gong Mufeng sat beside her, looking at her with concern from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness and worry.
At this moment, the car body suddenly shook violently, then braked suddenly and stopped.
Lin Yuexi was startled by the sudden bump. She gripped the armrest of the seat tightly with her hands, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. Did something happen?
"What's going on?" Gong Mufeng's expression changed and he immediately asked the soldier who was driving, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
The soldier turned around and reported in a serious tone, "Commander, there was a sudden landslide on the road ahead. The mud and rock flow has completely blocked the road!"
When Gong Mufeng heard this, his brows instantly twisted into the shape of a "川" character. He quickly opened the car door and got out of the car with several soldiers.
The sight before them made them all gasp. The road that had been unobstructed when they came here was now completely filled with a large amount of dirt, sand and rolled down boulders. The turbid mud was still flowing slowly down the hillside, and small stones kept rolling down, making crackling sounds, as if announcing that the road was blocked.
"Captain, we have to take a detour." A soldier walked up to Gong Mufeng and suggested with a serious look.
Gong Mufeng looked at the blocked road and secretly estimated the time and distance in his mind. He knew that although taking a detour would waste a lot of time, there was no better way at the moment.
After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's take a detour. Although it will arrive at the military research base a little later, it is better than not arriving at all. Everyone, hurry up and adjust the route as soon as possible."
After that, the soldiers quickly returned to the car and replanned the route. Gong Mufeng returned to the car, looked at Lin Yuexi's slightly worried eyes, and comforted her softly: "Yuexi, don't worry, it's just a small situation, we can take a detour, it won't be a problem."
Lin Yuexi nodded gently, trying to calm herself down, but she still felt a little nervous inside. After all, this sudden situation made her even more uneasy.
What was going on? Did someone know in advance that his secret had been leaked? Someone was trying to stop him from going to the base?
Lin Yuexi was a little puzzled. How could this be possible? Apart from Gong Mufeng, the old leader, Xie Youan and the people from the new weapons research base, no one else would know that it was she who contributed the drawings?
So who is behind this?
Lin Yuexi kept thinking in her mind, and Gong Mufeng saw her expression and comforted her, "Yuexi, don't worry, this should be an ordinary mudslide, not man-made. Believe me, you are an important person to be protected now. No one except the top leaders will know your secret."
The car started slowly and headed towards the new route.
The car started slowly and headed towards a new route, but Lin Yuexi's heart was still hanging, and it was difficult for her to completely relax.
Outside the car window, the originally bright sky was obscured by thick clouds at some point, and the light became dim, as if reflecting her complicated mood at the moment.
As the car moved forward, the road became increasingly rugged and difficult to travel on.
This detour is narrow and winding, with a steep cliff on one side and a towering mountain on the other, with loose gravel rolling down from time to time.
The soldier driving was fully focused, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and he made every turn carefully, fearing the slightest mistake.
Gong Mufeng looked at the road conditions and couldn't help but feel worried, but he still tried to stay calm and gently patted Lin Yuexi's hand, trying to give her more sense of security.
Lin Yuexi forced a smile. She knew that Gong Mufeng was already under a lot of pressure and she couldn't let her emotions affect him anymore.
As they were moving slowly forward, there was a rustling sound of electricity coming from the intercom, followed by the anxious voice of the base contact person: "Captain, we just received news that there may be continuous rainfall in the nearby area. You must pay attention to safety and rush to the base as soon as possible."
Gong Mufeng's expression tightened, and he replied, "Understood, we will speed up."
