Chapter 1 (1/2)

A bright full moon rises from the sky, which is the brightest and largest moon in ten years. The blue moon lights up the dark blue sky, and the stars are sparse, which makes people feel pitiful.

There are no clouds in the sky. The cool moonlight lights up the whole cliff and dyes the whole mountain into a silver world. The mountain peak has a kind of boundless pride, overlooking the boundless plain in the distance like a God.

Facing the East, the cliff is 600 meters high and 700 meters high. There are some cracks occasionally on the cliff. In the moonlight, it looks like a cat's claw mark, so shallow that it can almost be ignored.

Such a cliff is extremely difficult to climb, which is an excellent terrain to deal with the attack of mechanical animals. On the top of the cliff is an open area with a radius of several hundred meters. In this open area, there are several tall particle guns. Looking down from the top of the cliff, the winding road passes through a fork in the road below the cliff and drills into the Taihang Mountain. The Particle Cannon group becomes the gatekeeper looking up at the sky at the fork.

The particle gun has been standing here for many years. The base of the gun has been covered with rust and grass. The slender and straight barrel reflects the green light in the moonlight, just like a huge sword standing in the sky. Twenty meters to the left of the particle gun is an anti-aircraft gun. The caliber of the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun is the same as that of the particle gun. Its bullet is enough to hit the altitude of 2000 meters from here. Like the particle gun, the anti-aircraft gun is rusty.

Pamir is lying on the body of an anti-aircraft gun in the moonlight, a little bit of antirust paint, an orange emergency light to illuminate the anti-aircraft gun he is waiting for, one person one shot appears very harmonious.

Li Xinyan looked at his watch, pointing to 9:00 p.m. on June 6, 3139.

Half lying on a huge stone, he said impatiently to Pamir, ”Pamir, how long will it take you to finish it? I can't wait. My saliva is running out! ”

”Soon, soon!” Pamir replied, but there was no sign of acceleration in the brush he was holding.

With a sigh, Li Xinyan smiles. Pamir is not yet 30 years old, but he does things very seriously. He is more attentive to serving antiaircraft guns than to serving women, which makes Li Xinyan feel inferior.

The antiaircraft gun is very powerful. He knows the power of the gun. Unfortunately, the gun has no shells now. It has become a device with no practical use. Without cannonball, it doesn't mean that its cannonball can't be made. However, due to the shortage of resources, there are not enough materials to make this caliber cannonball. Therefore, Li Xinyan thinks that it's unnecessary for Pamir to play with it.

I don't know how many people have laid and touched the stone. It's very smooth. Now it's reflecting a layer of blue light in the moonlight. There are two glasses of wine, a plate of military luncheon meat, and some bread and vegetables on it. This is Li Xinyan's and Pamir's dinner.

”Well, you said fast and fast an hour ago, and I believed it. As a result, you still said fast and fast an hour later. I'm not fooled by you! If you don't come again, I won't wait for you! ” Li Xinyan put his head on his arm and threatened solemnly. He had a bottle of wine beside him, and on the box were written ”special confession” in big red letters. It wasn't easy to get the wine. When Pamir brought it, he was almost stunned. He wanted to go up and kiss Pamir. I don't know what kind of relationship the old man of country m has got two bottles. It's a very difficult thing in this era of war.

Sixteen years later, all kinds of attacking animals flying down from the sky in the machine city have shoveled through almost all the plains that human beings can cultivate. Food has become extremely precious and can make wine. Only a few countries crouching in the steep mountains have such luxury behavior. Therefore, Li Xinyan is not only admiring but also resentful of the ability of this m country old man, There's an urge to change.

”Well, by the way, when will you come back next time?” Li Xinyan looked at Pamir's busy back and asked.

”Next time? About half a year later? At present, there are 1305 bases on the line of defense guarding Taihang Mountain. There are only 36 engineers in charge of this area, and a few of them will be left to train new mechanical and technical engineers in the headquarters mountain. So, you'd better pray that your guns don't go wrong! If something goes wrong, I can't make it in a short time, so you can only shoot at the sky. ” Pamir speaks pure Chinese fluently but seriously.

Li Xinyan thought it funny, and he laughed: ”pray? What time do you still believe in God? Ah, you m people are so advanced in science and technology that there are still people who believe in God. If there is a God, I would like to worship God and ask God to end this unseen war earlier, so that I can go to the seaside and have a look at the mountains and water in the South. I don't have to stay here, just like a mountain god. Alas, if you stay like this any longer, you'll become a savage or a pervert! ”

Pamir kept the speed of painting under his hand and said: ”praying is a state of mind, not really believing in the existence of gods! It's just psychological comfort. How can you really ask God for what you want to do? ”

”However, when technology reaches the advanced stage, we are gods! Prayer is not a result, but a state of mind Well, in fact, what's the use of advanced science and technology in our country? Have been beaten worse than the mechanical City subjugation, advanced science and technology and what use? okay! Finally finished! But your pen is useless. ”

Pamir put down the paint bucket and brush, rubbed a handful of dead leaves with his hand, and wiped the paint off his hand. He looked at the tip of the brush that had been glued together in his hand, and then put it back into the paint bucket.

”What's the point? There are many wolves in the mountains. If you have nothing to do, just grab a few more and make another one. There's no need to feel sorry for a brush. ” Li Xinyan road. He sat up, took out two bowls, carefully unscrewed the bottle and began to pour.

As soon as the wine came out of the bottle, the aroma immediately overflowed. The seven or eight people sitting next to the particle gun immediately stopped chatting, and their eyes immediately stared at this side. Li Xinyan was slightly stunned, then thought about it and cried: ”Wanzi, come here, take this bottle of wine and share it! Hey, a bunch of poor little guys. I haven't even tried to drink. ”

”Thank you, monitor!” Among the seven or eight people, a thin guy immediately jumped over with a happy face, picked up the bottle and jumped back, feeling very happy.

Pamir also sat down on the boulder, looked at his back and said with a smile, ”Wanzi is not yet 18 years old. He looks like a child anyway.” Li Xinyan also smiles and says thoughtfully, ”I'm less than 18, I'm only 16.”

”16? I'm not an adult yet Pamir was slightly surprised, ”your country is not so crowded. How come even 16-year-old children are sent here now?”

”Many people? Hey, hey, that's the past tense. No matter how many people there are, they can't stand a war that lasted for nearly 20 years! Just like your country m, up to now, there are only resistance points in the mountains? There is no one, but the war is still going on. Whether you want to fight or not, you have to fight. There is no other way. In order to survive, the children have to fight. ” Li Xinyan said that there was a lot of bitterness in his tone.

He picked up the bowl, touched Pamir's and took a big sip.

Pamir had been greedy for a long time. After drinking a mouthful of wine from a bowl, they both smacked their tongue and sighed, ”good wine!”

”By the way, which squad leader are you in this base?” Asked Pamir.

Li Xinyan did not expect that he suddenly asked this question. He was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and raised his eyebrows, ”first term!” The answer is very proud. Pamir's eyes brightened and he said with a smile, ”it's you! The monitor who hasn't changed in eight years! ”

”What is me?” Li Xinyan asked.

”Our technology department will count all the bases of Taihang Mountain defense line every ten days. One is to see how many losses there are, and the other is to see how the work arrangements for the next ten days are arranged. In addition, it will also count some other information reported by each engineer, including the information of the team leader. I didn't look at the details of the report carefully. I only remember that there was only one place where the monitor didn't change. It turned out to be you! ”

Pamir said with a smile, ”the squad leaders of other bases are either dead or seriously injured. They have been transferred to houfangshan. They have already changed people. Of course, several of them have been upgraded and become more senior commanders. Anyway, they are no longer in the front-line battlefield, so you... Are the only remaining fool.”

”Idiot!” Li Xinyan almost choked the wine in his mouth, but thinking of the value of the wine, he held it back and quickly swallowed it. Then he coughed wildly. In this way, he hardly choked to death. As soon as he looked up, his eyes were full of tears.

Pamir ignored him, took the wine, let the spicy taste turn in his mouth twice, took another sip, and continued: ”so, the only one who has been the monitor for eight years! It's not easy! When I go back to the headquarters, I'd like to remind the leaders that it's time to reward them! Otherwise, how can you stand up to your insistence for so many years? ”

”Awards?” Li Xinyan managed to slow down and said with a bitter smile: ”the awards come every year, but there is nothing practical. It's better to upgrade my weapons, so I'd better not. If you give me a new particle gun, I don't need those awards! Even if there are no weapons, it's good to have more wine. It's always something to look forward to. Nothing. It's useless just to reward. ”

Pamir glared at Li Xinyan and said with a bitter smile: ”Hey! You think it's beautiful. Even steel production in the rear is becoming more and more difficult. You want to change advanced weapons. That's a dream! As far as I know, the latest particle guns are difficult to transport to this dangerous place. The production of large transport aircraft has become difficult, so don't expect to use the air force to transport that thing. As for the car, hey, nine times out of ten it was destroyed by the mechanical beast troops wandering in the plain. It's even more difficult to get here. But I recently heard that with the help of general Lin's operation team, they succeeded in sending a batch out. However, the base is built in the valley... It's worrying. It doesn't take much time for the mechanical animals to climb there. ”

”As for you, wait for the pie to fall from the sky!”

”Why, is the operation team still in charge of this?” Li Xinyan has a wonderful road.

”Well, things that can't be done by the military headquarters are usually assigned to the operation team. It's a convention. ”

”Then they can do it?” Li Xinyan asked again. He thinks it's exaggeration. It's all about people. Why can't other people do it?

Pamir looked at him with his glass and said with a smile, ”I know, but you can't

Li Xinyan ”poof”, this time finally choked, and began to cough violently. Pamir looked afraid that he would choke and said, ”even if you can, you can't get out of this base!”

After a hard recovery, Pamir said: ”in fact, in addition to the operation team, there is a powerful department in the underground base, which can be handed over to them. However, the upper level of the military headquarters is very strange. They don't look for them, but they look for the operation team, and they don't know what they think.”

”Which department?” Asked Li Xinyan.

”Mercenary Corps.”

”Oh?”

Pamir sighed, took another sip from his glass, and said, ”in fact, the mercenary Corps is not easy. The last time I went to them to do maintenance work, I saw a whole class of soldiers. None of them were unhurt, and they didn't get off the line of fire when they were injured. Their eyes were red, and they were more excited to see the manipulator than to see a woman, Even some of you rob me, I really don't understand, such a strong team, how many things can't fall to them

”I know that.” Li Xinyan road.
