Before he finished, the entire hall seemed to have stopped just like that.
Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jing.
Their gazes met intensely, as if there was a ring in each other"s eyes. The two of them were being sucked in at the same time, and were anxiously exchanging pointers with each other.
"Little Four, what did you just say?"
He kissed you?
Holding your hand?
"Cough cough, did something even more outrageous happen to you?"
Xiao Zheng asked carefully.
Xiao Jing quickly shook her head and picked up a few pieces of fruit from the buffet area. She said, "I heard that the fruits in Mo Fei Zhou are especially sweet. Third Brother, you should try it as well."
Xiao Zheng originally wanted to continue asking, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a small piece of wood popped into his mouth.
Xiao Jinghurriedly ran back to her seat with the plate in her hands.
Shen Chengfeng put down the menu and looked at the guilty expression on Xiao Jing"s face and then looked at the sinister face of Xiao Zheng behind her. He knew that with this fellow"s occasional lack of intelligence, he might have said something wrong.
Xiao Jing scooped a piece of cake into her mouth and ate it, leaving a large portion of the thick cream on her lips. She licked it and said in a low voice, "Captain, I don"t have a mission today, can I move freely?"
Shen Chengfeng picked up a napkin and handed it over, "The recent outbreak in Murphy Island is serious, so it"s not suitable for free movement."
Xiao Jing didn"t understand why he handed her a tissue. She shook her head and refused, "I will pay attention."
Shen Chengfeng wiped the cream stains off the corner of her mouth and said, "Where do you want to go?"
Xiao Jing pointed at the guidebook on the table beside her and smiled, "Black Sand River."
"Looking for gold?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
The corner of Xiao Jing"s mouth twitched. She bitterly smiled and said, "Captain, although my salary isn"t high, I don"t lack money."
"Then why are you going to the Black Sand River?"
Shen Chengfeng put his hands on his lower jaw and looked at the other party.
Xiao Jing swallowed the cake in her mouth and cautiously said, "Since I have nothing to do anyway, it"s good to walk around for a bit."
"The situation in Murphy is not as secure as it is in Flower Country. In order to avoid too much trouble, the mission team was requested to reduce the number of solo operations as much as possible.
Do you understand me? "
Xiao Jing bit her lips, "There"s no room for negotiation?"
"It"s not okay to act alone, but there"s no harm in more than two people acting in groups."
Shen Chengfeng sipped some tea and spoke leisurely.
Xiao Jing was overjoyed. "Then I"ll call Third Brother."
"Although this is the simultaneous mission of Tie Ying and Zheng Hu, the army is different. If we act together, it will easily cause a misunderstanding."
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but wrinkle her eyebrows. She cautiously glanced at the calm and collected captain, and hesitantly said, "Does the captain have time?"
Shen Chengfeng put down his teacup and stared at the soldier who asked the question.
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but shudder, shaking her head. "If captain doesn"t have time, I can go find the interpreter."
"I don"t have the spare time of a soldier like you, but today is the first day of my visit, so I can have the time of my life at my disposal."
"Would the captain like to take a walk in the Black Sand River?"
Shen Chengfeng picked up the fork with one hand and put a piece of roast meat in his mouth. He chewed on the roasted beef and said in a bland tone, "We are five kilometers away from the Black Sand River. According to the travel schedule, we need twenty minutes. We must arrive at the hotel at seven o"clock in the evening."
Xiao Jing opened her mouth and smiled without a care in the world. She promised solemnly, "Yes, captain." … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
It was snowing, and the streets around the block were deserted.
The Black Sand River is one of the most famous scenic spots in the state of Murphy, with the largest and purest amount of gold being spent internationally.
Unfortunately, after all the chaos in recent years, the river was gradually becoming dry up and the gold sand was decreasing year by year. Even today, after a day, they still couldn"t find a grain or two of gold sand.
Xiao Jing leaned against the riverbank and looked down at the black sand river that was covered in a thin layer of ice. She frowned and said, "It"s such a cold day, and they"re still thinking of smas.h.i.+ng ice and sand?"
Shen Chengfeng held an umbrella and stood beside her. Following her gaze, she saw many people holding ice tools breaking through the ice on both sides of the riverbank.
"Captain, do you think touching the ice with your hands will melt it?"
Xiao Jing looked forward to his answer.
Shen Chengfeng glanced at the little soldier and ignored her words as he walked to the other side of the bridge.
Xiao Jing followed closely behind him and said with a smile, "I think it will melt."
"Destroying the laws of nature at will is a curse."
Shen Chengfeng pulled her to the side, making sure that the snow would not fall on her clothes before he continued walking forward.
Xiao Jing put her hands behind her back and extended her head in front of him. She showed her white teeth, "Captain."
"Yes."
Shen Chengfeng instinctively lowered his head to look at her.
Xiao Jing held a s...o...b..ll in her hand, and without any respect, she smashed it over when he looked over.
As soon as the s...o...b..ll touched his forehead, the droplets of water evaporated before they could even land on the ground.
Xiao Jing didn"t know whether to laugh or cry as she put down the s...o...b..ll in her hand.
Shen Chengfeng stared expressionlessly at the little soldier who ambushed him. He silently crouched down and put down the umbrella. Similarly, he held a pile of snow in his hands.
Xiao Jing swallowed her saliva. Before she could react, a s.h.i.+ny s...o...b..ll flew towards her beautiful face.
"Bang!"
She felt like she was. .h.i.t by a three kilogram shot ball, causing her to feel dizzy, and her eyes almost rolled over as she fainted.
Shen Chengfeng patted the snow on his glove and continued to rub the s...o...b..ll.
Xiao Jing came back to her senses and squatted to the side. She quickly pressed down on his hand and surrendered, "Captain, it"s too much. It will crush me to death."
Shen Chengfeng could not help but smile as he saw the spot between her eyebrows where the red frost had appeared.
Xiao Jing was stunned. Looking at it closely, her smile was very light. Just like when a snowflake fell on her skin, she knew that it had come before. In the blink of an eye, it had completely disappeared.
Shen Chengfeng quickly retracted the smile on his face and stood up. He was still walking on the deserted street with his umbrella in hand.
Xiao Jing shook her head, she nibbled on her nails, and trotted to keep up with his pace.
Shen Chengfeng moved his umbrella to her side and asked normally, "Where do you want to go now?"
"Is there any place the captain would like to see?"
"No."
Xiao Jing pursed her lips, "Captain, is it because your body is special that you don"t like to come into contact with strangers?"
"Your ident.i.ty is special. You are not allowed to expose yourself too much."
Shen Chengfeng suddenly stopped.
Xiao Jing didn"t understand why he suddenly stopped and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand and stroked the ice awl formed by the cold air on her head before continuing, "Is there anything else you wish to go to?"
Xiao Jing"s eyes were fixed on his face. Her face was originally chilled by the cold wind, but at this moment, it began to heat up silently. She opened her mouth and revealed a brilliant smile.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Crack! Crack! Cras.h.!.+
An old man was pus.h.i.+ng a small cart as he slowly walked in the snow. Due to the slippery surface of the road, the cart fell and all the items within it tumbled out.
Xiao Jing quickly ran over to help pick it up.
The old man spoke in his own language.
Xiao Jing didn"t understand what she meant, so she could only smile to show her respect.
The old man was about to pick up the can beside the car when he staggered and almost fell over.
Xiao Jing quickly grabbed onto her body and whispered, "Be careful."
"Cough cough, thank you."
The old man continued to push the cart away.
Xiao Jing clapped her hands, only to realize that her gloves had been pierced by a hole at some point, and there was even a wooden spike stuck in it.
Shen Chengfeng put down his umbrella and pulled out the wooden thorn for her. He said, "We are soldiers. It is only natural for us to protect the ma.s.ses, but we must also be careful of our own safety."
Xiao Jing smiled. "I will take note of it in the future."
"Let"s go."
Shen Chengfeng extended his right hand towards her.
Xiao Jing didn"t understand his intention.
"Up the steps."
Xiao Jing blushed as she held his hand. The snow covered the slippery road as two figures walked side by side up the one hundred steps.
Under the darkness of the night, the vast expanse of white snow stretched as far as the eye could see. A long set of footprints was left behind on the snow.
At seven o"clock in the evening, the mission was scheduled for a routine meeting, with plans for tomorrow"s schedule, from long-distance security to close security.
"Follow me closely tomorrow."
Xiao Zheng leaned against Xiao Jing"s ear and said in a low voice.
Xiao Jing laughed, "Captain won"t agree."
"Whether he agrees or not."
Xiao Zheng handed the chocolate in his pocket to her, "Eat some tonight when you"re hungry."
Xiao Jing shook her head. "Captain won"t agree."
However, Xiao Zheng thrust it into her hands and angrily said, "He, Shen Chengfeng, doesn"t he care if you eat or drink?"
Xiao Jing was afraid of the many leaders present, so she maintained her silence and did not refute. She was afraid that her Third Brother would shout out in such an excited and heroic manner. With his rough voice, he was the center of attention.
Shen Chengfeng ignored the two siblings, who were whispering in his ear, and turned his gaze to the Secretary-General, who was making arrangements.
At night, the snow fell from the sky, even more menacing than it had been during the day.
Xiao Zheng put down his teacup and stared at the silent Shen Chengfeng.
Shen Chengfeng was standing by the window, overlooking the snowy square and said, "My mission is done, I will leave tomorrow."
"Although I know the rules and I won"t tell the second person about the mission, other than myself, I still want to ask, what mission is it?"
Xiao Zheng said.
"Viper secretly sneaked into the Murphy continent, I"m afraid they are preparing to unite their own country"s opposing army, I"m afraid that the situation here will not last more than two days."
Shen Chengfeng half-covered himself as he spoke.
Xiao Zheng understood the hidden meaning behind his words, "It seems like this visit is not as simple as we thought."
"If it really was that simple, the higher-ups wouldn"t have appointed the captains of our two special forces to conduct secret operations at the same time."
"What about Xiao Jing?"
Xiao Zheng could not help but frown.
"The General Manager"s visit will take three days, and she will leave with the mission in three days."
"She only obeys your orders, doesn"t she?"
Xiao Zheng helplessly let out a long sigh.
"Yes."
Xiao Zheng glared at him, you are f * cking proud of yourself right?
Shen Chengfeng walked back to the sofa and looked at each other. He said, "We have our own tasks to attend to. Her job is to protect the chief executive the entire time. Whether she has any objections or not, this is her military order."
"This saying sounds benevolent and righteous. This little brother of mine has a simple-minded personality. If he stays by your Shen Yan king"s side, there will be a day when he will be schemed against by you as well."
Xiao Zheng stood up, his hands stuck in his pockets as he spoke with a hint of a ruffian tone.
"General Xiao Zheng"s words are incorrect. I, Shen Chengfeng, have never treated my soldiers unfairly."
"You must remember what you said today. If one day you bully my Little Four then I, Xiao Zheng, will not let the matter rest."
Shen Chengfeng walked out of his room.
Xiao Zheng looked at the time, there were still seven hours until dawn.
His sole mission was to find the missing Professor Zhao and bring him back home, while Shen Chengfeng was to clear out all the poisonous snakes. This way, only Xiao Jing remained by Feng Sheng"s side.
Xiao Zheng lit up a cigarette, curling up in a cloud of smoke. He exhaled a cloud of smoke and leaned against the sofa, closing his eyes.
The night suddenly became terrifyingly quiet.
The hourgla.s.s next to the bed was upended, and wisps of sand and sand fell through the small opening in the tube and into the bottom of the bottle.
Xiao Jing laid on the bed and looked at this palm-sized hourgla.s.s. It was the only thing she had bought this afternoon.
After Shen Chengfeng was done showering, he looked at the stubborn body holding his face. For a moment, he did not utter a sound to break the silence.
Xiao Jing saw that the sand in the hourgla.s.s was running out and once again inverted it. She smiled and said, "Captain, the sand in here seems to be gradually changing color."
Shen Chengfeng walked forward and took a glance at him before saying, "It"s getting late."
Xiao Jing rolled over, covered herself with the blanket, and prepared to sleep.
Shen Chengfeng, who was sitting on the bed, was staring intently at the bottomless hourgla.s.s. He spoke unhurriedly, "I need to leave for a short two days tomorrow."
Xiao Jing hurriedly lifted the blanket and frowned, "Is there a secret mission for the team leader?"
Shen Chengfeng nodded.
Xiao Jing knew the rules and couldn"t ask anything she shouldn"t.
Shen Chengfeng turned the hourgla.s.s over for her and continued, "The next two days" visit will require you to protect the managing director personally."
Xiao Jing wanted to say something, but she hesitated. It seemed like Third Brother also had a secret mission.
"The security on the general"s side is very perfect. You only need to follow the procedures and travel with him. If I don"t return in three days, you will return with him. This is the order."
Xiao Jing sat up abruptly with a solemn expression, "Is the leader"s mission very dangerous?"
"You should know the rules, you can"t casually reveal a single word about the secret mission."
Xiao Jing lowered her head.
"You only need to complete your own task. Although there won"t be any accidents on the general"s side, there must not be any slip-ups. Do you understand what I mean?"
Now that the situation in Murphy is so confusing, we have to be absolutely foolproof. "
Xiao Jing nodded seriously.
Shen Chengfeng continued, "I have said more than once that during a mission, besides protecting the target, you must also protect yourself."
"Yes, captain"
"I hope it goes smoothly."
Shen Chengfeng gently patted her head.
In the past, Xiao Jing didn"t like being rubbed by people like this. She always felt that it was like rubbing a pet, but at some point, she seemed to have gotten used to having the captain gently pat her, just like a fatherly love.
Wait, why fatherly love?
"Alright, go to sleep."
Shen Chengfeng turned off the lights in the room.
Xiao Jing laid back on the bed, her gaze still fixed on the person sitting on the bed opposite her.
"Don"t let Shaw think about the happiness of your superior."
A cold ba.s.s voice resounded.
Xiao Jing quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Shen Chengfeng opened his eyes and stared at the person whose eyelids were trembling. He then said, "Don"t even think about your body."
Xiao Jing immediately rolled over and faced him with her back.
Shen Chengfeng"s mouth slightly raised as he changed the direction of the hourgla.s.s. The light from the bottle was somewhat dim as it scattered down. The sand in the bottle should have been sprinkled with some golden powder. The light flickered and flickered.
The next day, the sky gradually brightened.
Xiao Jing woke up in a daze and instinctively looked towards the other bed beside her. The bed was empty.
She sat up vigilantly and stretched her hand to feel the temperature on the bed. It was already very cold. It seemed that the leader had been gone for at least an hour.
The sky was bright, and the entire hotel was still quiet.
The mission was scheduled for nine in the morning, so generally speaking, Xiao Jing still had some spare time to dress herself up.
She stood in the washroom and washed her face. The cold water hit her face and made it feel cold. She picked up a clean towel and wiped it before turning around to leave. However, her body swayed uncontrollably.
Her head was a little dizzy, and her throat felt a little itchy. She rubbed her head, but there was no fever. Could it be that she went out yesterday to take a walk to catch a cold?
This won"t do. The next three days were extremely tight, so she couldn"t slow down because of her physical condition.
Xiao Jing squatted in front of the trunk and rummaged through the medicine she brought. She pressed two cold medicine and swallowed the pill with the remaining cold water from last night.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Xiao Jing opened the door and looked at the smiling Secretary-General outside. She asked, "Are you ready to depart?"
The Secretary-General nodded. "The cars are already arranged."
Xiao Jing put on her coat and followed the Secretary-General out of the hotel.
The first stop of the mission was the first leaders.h.i.+p in Murphy.
"Comrade Xiao Jing, I see that you don"t look good. Did you not rest well last night?"
The Secretary-General handed over a bottle of water.
Xiao Jing covered her mouth and coughed, "Thank you."
"I estimate that the visit will take another two hours. You can take a short rest in the resting room nearby."
The Secretary-General pointed to a small door on one side.
Xiao Jing originally wanted to refuse, but she was dizzy. She had no choice but to face her body, stand up and walk towards the resting lounge.
The air conditioner blew quietly into the room. Xiao Jing didn"t know how long she had slept for, but after hearing the spa.r.s.e sounds of movement outside the door, she woke up on alert.
The moment she sat up, her vision turned black. The oxygen in her lungs was instantly sucked out. She couldn"t help but to breathe heavily. It was very uncomfortable, and she felt dizzy.
The Secretary-General Xu Cheng walked into the lounge with a cup of warm water in his hand. When he saw the absent-minded Xiao Jing, he hurriedly ran over and said with a serious face, "It seems that Comrade Xiao Jing"s illness is a little severe."
Xiao Jing waved her hand. Her voice was a little hoa.r.s.e as she said, "It"s fine. After sleeping for a while, I feel much better."
She scratched her neck, itching like a rash.
Xu Cheng placed the cold medicine to the side, "Do you need the doctor accompanying you to check it out?"
Xiao Jing shook her head. "No need, I think it"s good."
After saying that, she slowly stood up using the bed. However, after standing for a moment, her body uncontrollably fell down.
Xu Cheng"s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He turned to the guard behind him and said, "Hurry up and ask Doctor Ma Ke to come over."
Xiao Jing was trying her best to catch her breath, but it was obvious that she was short of air. She felt very strange; this definitely did not look like an ordinary cold.
Doctor Mark crouched to one side and took a look. "SY-11," he said.
As soon as he finished his words, the people from the mission, who had been preparing to make small talk earlier, rushed out of the resting room.
Xu Cheng stood up in panic, his eyes wide open as he asked, "What"s going on?"
"Why would he get infected by this virus without a hitch?" "I don"t know," Ye Zichen replied. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Dr. Mark shook his head. "For safety reasons, we must immediately isolate Captain Xiao. Also, everyone present, including the managing director, must be thoroughly sterilized."
She only felt that her heart and lungs were very uncomfortable, as if they were about to explode. This kind of feeling was something she had experienced when she was young, when the housemaid at home brought back a cat, and she only stayed with the cat for one night, only one night. The next day, she had a rash all over her body, and her breath was not smooth, and she even had a high fever for three whole days.
So from then on, she didn"t like these furry guys anymore, and that was deadly for her.
The entire visiting hall was in a state of chaos.
Xiao Jing propped herself up, trying to explain, and hoa.r.s.ely said, "I"m probably allergic."
Doctor Mark took out a syringe and injected it into her arm. With a grim expression, he said, "Captain Xiao, please rest a.s.sured. We will send you to a safe place. By then, your discomfort will be alleviated."
As Xiao Jing watched the liquid being injected into her body, the dizziness in her head gradually increased. Following that, a group of people carried her up.
"Captain Xiao Jing needs to leave the group immediately for the sake of the general"s safety and the safety of his entourage."
After arranging for a ride, Xu Cheng put on a mask and said to the driver, "In order to prevent the news from getting out, immediately send Captain Xiao to the quarantine area."
The driver was surprised and said, "The quarantine area is filled with abandoned critical patients. Captain Xiao is a member of the Special Forces. Should we ask our superiors to do this?"
"There"s no time to ask for permission now. The safety of the Chief Steward is first."
