Chapter 101 The Secret Base in Plum Blossom Villa
"Liaison officer Lian Qiao, the captain of the reconnaissance staff of the Third Special Operations Brigade of the First Air Force Armed Police Force, reports in!"
The girl stood straight and saluted.
"Sit down, sit down, don't be so polite, just treat it as your own home." Zhao Bowen quickly invited them to sit down. Lao Bai was unhappy on the side. Whose house is this? Lao Zhao, you are the host.
In order to show that he was the master of this room, Bai Zhen immediately said: "You can be more relaxed than in your own home."
"Have you completed all the procedures?" Zhao Bowen asked.
"Well, I just finished my trip these two days and temporarily transferred the relationship to the headquarters." Lian Qiao nodded, looked around, found a small plastic stool among the piles of documents and sat down. She was also a little surprised. Before entering the house, Lian Qiao did not expect that this seemingly ordinary house actually had a different world. Walking in here was like walking into a combat command center - this is indeed a command center, and its full name is the Amateur Radio Emergency Communication Command Center to Reverse the Future and Save the World.
Lian Qiao was stunned when she heard this name for the first time. If nothing else, it was so childish!
"Have you met Yang Yang?" Zhao Bowen asked.
"Yes, Director Zhao." Lian Qiao nodded, "I saw him yesterday. I ran into him on the way back to the community."
"That's good. He went out with his classmates this afternoon." Zhao Bowen said, "He should be back before six o'clock. Then you can get to know each other better."
"Uh...Lian..." Bai Zhen opened his mouth to say something.
"Just call me Lianqiao, Teacher Bai."
"Let me call you Comrade Xiao Lian. Comrade Xiao Lian, you said you were sent by your superiors..."
"Counselor." Lian Qiao said.
"Yes, yes, counselor, what does a counselor do?"
Bai Zhen had never understood what this counselor was for. Last night, Zhao Bowen suddenly took out a tablet and told them that the superiors were going to send someone down to be Bai Yang's counselor. Bai Zhen was confused. He had only heard of instructors and political instructors, and above that was the political commissar. Could it be that the superiors felt that the headquarters was short of a political cadre, so they sent an instructor to support them? It made sense, but why did they send a young girl of about 24 or 25 years old as the political cadre?
As a veteran soldier who had retired from the army and returned to the local area after serving as a third-term non-commissioned officer, Bai Zhen was skeptical about the ability of this young female soldier.
"The role of a counselor is to give guidance in life. Have you heard of counselors in college? They are the same. They have to ensure your personal safety while you are in school, pay attention to your academic performance, care about your living conditions, and worry about your employment prospects when you graduate, to escort you through your college career." Zhao Bowen spoke, "Yang Yang is the core of the plan and the key to everything, but he is a child after all. The higher-ups are worried about him taking on such a huge responsibility and pressure alone, fearing that he will have a psychological and emotional breakdown, so they sent someone with a clean background, strong political literacy, high ideological awareness, and strong professional ability to be a counselor. He also has to be as young as possible so that young people can have a common language."
"So it was sent to my son..." Bai Zhen muttered.
"Isn't it assigned to your son or you?" Zhao Bowen rolled his eyes. "What value do you have to make the higher-ups send someone to protect you?"
"I am also the deputy team leader!" Bai Zhen was dissatisfied.
"From now on, you are not one anymore," Zhao Bowen said. "I have full authority to remove you from your position."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, Lao Zhao, let's talk it out..."
Zhao Bowen ignored Bai Zhen and turned to ask Lian Qiao: "Have you understood the work?"
Lian Qiao was stunned and nodded.
“I’ve learned all of it.”
"Have you signed all the confidentiality agreements and other shit?"
"All the formalities have been completed." The girl nodded.
"Okay, then you can see everything in this room, but be careful not to take anything out of that door. You all know the basic confidentiality rules, right? The screen should be turned off when you leave, and the documents should be placed face down. I won't repeat them." Zhao Bowen waved his hand and put a large stack of materials upright into the shredder, which made a humming sound. "Lian Qiao, since you have understood all the work, I hope you can complete the task with all your heart and soul. After all, this is a matter of great importance and the challenges we face are extraordinary. In the days to come, you must give it your all."
"Okay! I will make sure to complete the task." Lian Qiao sat up straight.
"Lian Qiao, how is your shooting skill?" Zhao Bowen asked.
Lian Qiao didn't understand why he asked this and was confused for a moment, but still answered truthfully.
"Not bad. I used to be a shooting instructor in the squadron."
"Next, please go back and get your rifle," said Zhao Bowen.
"Rifle?" Lian Qiao was stunned.
"Ambush near the Meihua Villa community. If you find Bai Zhen doing anything illegal, such as entering the door with his left foot first, or entering the door with his right foot first, shoot him immediately."

Bai Zhen angrily threw the gel pen in his hand at Zhao Bowen's head, but it hit the top of Wang Ning's head, who was signing slowly and calmly. However, Wang Ning's head was too smooth, and the plastic pen cap slipped. With a crisp "bang", the pen bounced up. Wang Ning was furious: "Fuck!"
Lian Qiao sat obediently on the side, quietly looking at the surrounding environment. This is really a magical place.
She was very curious about what kind of place could be called the Amateur Radio Emergency Communication Command Center for Reversing the Future and Saving the World. Just looking at the name alone, there is no place in the world that is more high-end and domineering than this one. It makes people unconsciously imagine that it will be a secret base buried hundreds of meters underground. To enter, one has to pass through three strict defense lines, guarded by soldiers with live ammunition, heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft missiles, and the door of the base's cave is as thick as a vault door - but she didn't expect that she would go around and around and actually enter the city of Nanjing. This command center with a terrifying name is so openly located in a residential area in Qinhuai District!
She had passed numerous political reviews—Lian Qiao dared to guarantee that she had never experienced such a strict review in her life, and she thought she could make it to the astronaut selection—just to report to a residential area in Nanjing?
Lian Qiao thought that maybe what she saw was just an appearance.
Unit 804, Building 11, Unit 2, Plum Blossom Villa was just an illusion to confuse outsiders. In fact, the real headquarters was somewhere else, possibly hundreds of meters underground in Purple Mountain. There was a super fortress that even nuclear bombs could not blow up. In the fortress, there was a large group of powerful people. They sat at a table in the dark, each with only a numerical code, secretly planning a grand plan to save the world...
Zhao Bowen: Have you watched too much EVA?
Lian Qiao: Is there really no secret base here? For example, there is a secret room behind the wall or something...
Zhao Bowen: You have to ask the developer whether they left a secret room when designing this commercial housing. If not, then there is no secret room.
Lian Qiao: But here... can it be guaranteed to be safe?
Zhao Bowen: Why is it unsafe? Are you a wanted criminal?
Forsythia: No.
Zhao Bowen: So am I a wanted criminal?
Forsythia: No.
Zhao Bowen: Is Lao Bai a wanted criminal?
Forsythia: No.
Zhao Bowen: He is.
Lao Bai threw the pen over again, with a "bang".
Wang Ning: Fuck!
Zhao Bowen: We are not wanted criminals, and we are not plotting rebellion, so why are we unsafe? What are we afraid of? Are we afraid that the police will suddenly break in and arrest us? Lian Qiao, where is this place?
Forsythia: Nanjing.
Zhao Bowen: You are now in one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of seven million. This is the headquarters of the Eastern Theater Command, and one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council holding nuclear weapons is protecting you from behind. Apart from Zhongnanhai and Beijing Xishan, is there any place in the world safer than our Meihua Villa?
