Chapter 30 Chapter 30

"Yo, it's still a manual transmission!"

Ji Yuanyuan patted the hood of the car, still in admiration.She grabbed the rock sugar and put it into the trunk with great effort.Then he sat in the driver's seat.

Chen Yan consciously sat in the back row with Aunt Aruna.

Everything is ready, waiting for Lin Mu to get on the bus.

And he was still holding a teacup, admiring the sunset solemnly.The days of the year with the shortest days and longest nights are over.The sun is big and round today.

Ji Yuanyuan thinks that this man is really lucky. He doesn't look old in his 30s, and he has a good temperament without gaining weight. He can still be selected as the C position in the promotional film for the Southern Three Kingdoms branch every year.The bridge of the nose is straight and straight, the outline is correct, and the eyes are staring at you seriously, making people feel that the world is bright.

But Liang Chaowei in Saltwater City did not walk to the passenger's door as she wished, but walked to the driver's side.

When Ji Yuanyuan rolled the car window, he heard him say: "There is probably a father-daughter relationship between me and you. Dad has something to stay, so you go first."

Then he said lightly to Ji Yuanyuan, who was not much shorter than him, who was not able to fly heavy clothes, but who was able to beat up scumbags: "Girl, be good."

"Fuck|Your mother!"

"My mother died a long time ago. Besides, this is incest, girl."

"You are crazy, you! You have been infected by Jimmy and you are crazy too! You think you are invulnerable! Who do you think you are? You want to save the world? You are worthy! Get in the car, don't talk nonsense to my old lady! "

Lin Mu took half a step back, as if he really thought that Ji Yuanyuan would pull him by the collar and drag him into the shepherd.

There was already rumbling thunder in the sky.No, it's not thunder, it's another large-scale air strike by country Z against the "Vulture" organization.

"If you don't leave, it will be too late!" Ji Yuanyuan yelled at him, tears welling in his eyes as he saw him once in a century.She was almost begging him: "Let's go, it's useless for you to stay. Vultures are now forcing conscription everywhere. It won't be easy for them to catch you one by one? You can't beat them."

Lin Mu smiled politely.

She remembered the first time she saw Lin Shu in the Jianxin branch office in Saltwater City. He had just been squeezed out of the domestic civil aviation captain's seat, his mother died, and he had no relatives, and he drifted to Country K alone.

Seeing that he was pitiful and wanted to help him, she suggested that he could partner with her to fly the transportation line between China and the three southern countries.

Lin Mu took half a step back then, and gave her a polite and distant smile.

Then she understood that he had already made up his mind.He looks reticent, but in fact he has big ideas, and he won't let go once he's settled on one thing.

Now Lin Mu is standing under the slanting sun of the lonely desert, without any fear: "Yuanyuan, before I met you, I thought I was the only one... For the rest of my life, it seems that I have always insisted on what I think is right." , and was punished. It was the same when I was in the factory, when I was learning to fly, when I came to Civil Aviation, and then I went to Saltwater City... But I met you, and you are my best partner. Between partners, I don’t talk about those hypocrisy, Shake my hand and say goodbye."

Lin Mu stretched out his hand to the glass of the driver's seat.

Ji Yuanyuan remained silent, looking straight at him.Then she jumped out of the car, opened the trunk, dragged the rock sugar out, untied it, and pushed it towards the trees: "Fuck you and say goodbye! Watch out for this broken sheep, if something goes wrong with it, you wait to be beaten!"

She ignored Lin Mu's outstretched hand, returned to the car, kicked the accelerator and drove away.She planned to take the vacant seat for Bingtang when she saw the fleeing Tals on the road.

As for the trees... the trees...

Ji Yuanyuan wiped away her tears, and cursed against the wind: "You idiot who values ​​sex and despises friends!"

Ruins of Tal Abdullah Hawthorne III Airport.

Rahimi sent people to guard around the airport again, and then began to plan to transfer supplies.The airport is too obvious on the map. If country Z continues its air strikes, the airport is likely to be the next strategic target.

One of his men reported back in full armor: "Rahmi, we are short of manpower!"

Another subordinate also rushed in: "Report! Take down the "Blue Velvet" bar. The general said to ask you whether it was blown up or..."

Rahimi asked, "How many people?"

The subordinate replied: "Sixty."

Rahimi ordered: "Put everyone in the guest house! You, and you, take two teams and get into the car with me."

All external communication in Tar was cut off, and the dirt road was deserted, a ghost town.

Rahimi sent two vehicles to take the lead, cleared Taal Castle, and then hung the Y flag on the top of the castle.Regardless of whether the government of Country Y admits it or not, they are fighting this battle for the entire country—Tar generations are an inseparable part of their blood, and foreigners are not allowed to get involved.For Tal, it is an honor to die.

In Tar Castle, Lin Mu sat on the sofa and pressed the recording button on his mobile phone.

If Jimmy happened to know about Wen Yuxing's existence at this time point, then it must be related to the message Wen Yuxing sent to himself in Saltwater City.

Jimmy has been running the family's arms business for many years, and hacking other people's mobile phones should be a no-brainer.Lin Mu looked down at his mobile phone, hoping that Tal's network could last for a while, so that Jimmy could take what he wanted to say to him.

When they first met, Jimmy stayed with him on this sofa. He, who had always been a light sleeper, slept until dawn, and then kicked the sheep off the sofa.

Bingtang didn't hold any grudges, and was lying at his feet at this moment, looking around in a daze.Lin Mu felt that it might have seen his own shadow on the wall, thought it was fun, and turned his head left and right.

Lin Mu cleared his throat:

"I'm a boring person, Jimmy. This is the first time I've used a tape recorder. I want to live my life in order, but now it seems that I can't. No, in fact, since I was very young, my mother still You should have seen it when you were in. I was always getting into fights - not me fighting or people hitting me, but me seeing the victim being bullied and standing up. Standing out I will be beaten, and my memory will not be long after the beating. My mother said...don't be so stupid, my memory is like a little yellow croaker, only six seconds. But next time there is a fight, it will be me, and I will go out to be a hero again. My mother I have been trained so many times that I am speechless.

Jimmy, even though I have no relatives in this world... I still can't just live for myself.I still see something wrong, and I have to correct it.It hurts to see someone in pain.I hope you can forgive me, this time, the price I have to bear is too great.It's not a fight, it's not a beating, it's losing you.Only this time, I lost you, but I still feel that meeting you happened... in my life, the best thing.Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me. Jimmy, it's just time...time...time..."

The sound of violent door opening came instantly, and a group of armed men wearing helmets and holding guns quickly occupied the living room of Jimmy's house.Looking at the badges on the camouflage uniforms, a group of people are members of the "Vulture" terrorist organization.

The leading boy looked no more than eighteen.Facing the trees, he raised his gun and loaded the bullets: "May the Lord bless you!"

Lin Mu looked at him, slowly raised his hands, and said in English, "Don't shoot. I'm a pilot."

Half an hour later, the team led by Rahimi drove away from Taal Castle.The sound of guns and guns falling to the ground sounded from time to time on the dusty road, and no one said a word.Rahimi silently pointed to the temporary hospital camp of the American Aid Association on the top of the mountain. The driver immediately understood, deviated from the dirt road, and drove to the foot of the mountain.

Rahimi said: "Take as much medicine as you can, and don't let anyone go. They are all lackeys of the United States, who made their fortunes from the fall of Taal."

Lin Shu was stuffed in the trunk, and it took him several times to get them to notice him: "No! You broadcast the news every day before you come, right? The American Aid camp is protected by the UN peacekeeping force. Even their leader, Dr. Pete, stayed behind. Here in Tar, think how well protected they are!"

After hearing what Lin Mu said, Rahimi felt that it made sense: "Turn around and go to the airport. And gag him."

That night, Lin Shu was pointed at the head by Rahimi's men with a gun in the co-pilot's seat, and the two helicopters that could fly at Thar Airport were transferred to the temporarily cleared space next to a cave in the Thar Desert.

It didn't take long for the helicopter to be pushed into the cave and hidden by the "Vulture" organization.

Later, Lin Mu was tied behind his back and locked up with other Tahrs who were forcibly conscripted.At night, the sound of military aircraft outside the cave kept going all night, and he could only sleep a night.

On the second day, Rahimi asked the "Vulture" to throw in a plate of rice mixed with half a bowl of soup, which was left over from not knowing how long ago.Lin Mu kicked the plate aside with his feet, and was hit in the face by the boy twice, causing nosebleeds.He sniffed and asked, "What do you eat?"

The boy ignored him, turned around and went out to look for Lahimi, probably asking if the pilot was still useful, and if he wanted to shoot him to death now.

At night, Lin Mu called the boy over, pointed to the old man imprisoned in the corner, and asked him for a blanket, but was kicked to the ground by the boy again.Lin Mu slowly got up, and before noon the next day, he asked the guards with guns who came to guard him on shift to ask for cigarettes.The guards did go out to ask Rahimi for instructions.

After a while, Rahimi entered the door worriedly, pointing to the tree calmly, and they picked him up and brought him to the meeting room.

"Want to live? Want to smoke?"

Lin Mu nodded.

"Fly to Taal and get me something."

Tal is now in a state of panic, and any vehicles and aircraft that approach rashly may be marked as members of the "Vulture" organization and be attacked by the Z government forces.

But Lin Mu nodded lightly and gestured with his fingers.An hour, an hour at most, he can fly back before dark.

Rahimi still didn't trust him very much, so he sent two people to watch him, gave him a bowl of clean water, and some compressed biscuits with an unknown production date.

Lin Mu didn't answer, he stared straight at Rahimi and said, "I have a condition."

Rahimi laughed.

"If you win the battle, don't use that thing." Lin Mu said, "Whether it's a fighter jet or a helicopter, I will help you fly. I don't shoot guns or kill people. I can only fly planes. I will help you fight won."

His blood was clotted on his forehead, and he hadn't had a drop of water for two days and a night, and he struggled to stand still.But with firm eyes, he said loudly, "I will help you win."

He looked at Rahimi, as calm as a doomed lamb: "When we win, you don't need to use that thing. Tal will still be good and clean."

Rahimi looked at him and silently handed him a pack of cigarettes, a whole pack.

The "Vulture" organization was led by the old general Rahimi to fight guerrillas near Tal for several days in a row, while the younger Rahimi reorganized the logistics troops in the cave.

Every day, at least ten trucks of equipment, food and water are transported out of the cave to unknown places.Lin Mu saw that the "Vulture" organization had definitely been planning for a long time.He knew that their ultimate goal was to capture Tal, but he didn't know what their current plan was.

It seems impossible to seize Tal by force at present, because since the day the two countries entered a state of war, Tal has been guarded by three forces: the government army of country Z, the US military stationed in country Z, and the UN peacekeeping force.

Attacking Tal on the ground or in the air is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.

It seems impossible to instigate rebellion now. Even if they succeed in instigating one army, Rahimi and the others will never offer enough lucrative conditions to make three troops with different interests and purposes give up guarding Tal at the same time.

So... only the threat of uranium raw material left?

Lin Mu thinks not.If this was the only move in the old Rahimi's plan, he would never have started to store a large amount of food and grass for hundreds of troops in the cave so long in advance.At the beginning of their preparations, they didn't know that Chen's capital would find buyers for uranium raw materials.It doesn't make sense for all of Rahimi's plans to depend on a uranium feedstock that may or may not be available some day in the future.No one puts all their eggs in one basket just to wait for an illusory opportunity.

The Vultures must have big plans, and the uranium threat is just a case in point.If he could help them succeed on Plan One and retake Taal, then uranium would never be a threat to the Southern Three again...at least not for a while.

Since Lin Mu began to cooperate with the "Vulture" organization, Rahimi had someone to monitor him alone.He was not completely free, but after all he was separated from other Thars who had been recruited by force.

Most of the time, Lin Mu was locked alone in a meeting room with floor-to-ceiling glass windows.No one cared whether he smoked or not, how much he ate, or whether he was tired or not, and whether he could sleep at night.

Lin Shu leaned against the glass window, looking at the seemingly peaceful valley below.Even though the location is remote, and it is 8000 meters away from Taal, he thinks it is as beautiful as a landscape painting.The distant mountains are like Daisy, but the nearby mountains are dyed with verdant green, dotted with a blue velvet-like stream.At dusk, there is smoke from cooking.

If Jimmy was here, Lin Mu suddenly thought, he should like it.

In the corner of the abandoned conference room, he found a pen that had been dropped for an unknown amount of time, scratched it on the palm of his hand, and there was still ink.

He remembered that when he was young, his mother alone supported him to grow up. He was not required to be outstanding in schoolwork, but he must not be absent from calligraphy class every Saturday.She didn't tell him how much the calligraphy class cost, and she didn't allow him to inquire.He only remembered that she most wanted him to write calligraphy.She said that practicing calligraphy is training people, and self-cultivation takes time.

Now that he can write beautiful but useless good handwriting, his mother is in another world, and even the man that he cares about the most has been dismissed by him.

Now, it's really useless.

Lin Muhua drew his pen, and there were no more stationery available in the conference room.He simply tore open the cigarette case, spread it out on the table, and wrote slowly:

"I have nothing to think about, I hope the snow will come."

One stroke at a time, serious as making a wish on Children's Day:

"I hope you... will arrive unexpectedly."
