Vladimir tried his best to put in a good word for Gu Nianzhi. In order to calm her down, he even told her how he had dealt with Wassily.
"… Cereus, I know you were scared today. Don't worry, I've already locked up the person who came up with the evil idea. He won't come out and cause trouble again …"
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. "Do you know who came up with the idea? It's your man? Why would he do that? "
Vladimir didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be so sharp. She immediately guessed that it was someone from the KGB. His scalp went numb, and he was very worried that he had leaked the secret. However, since he had already said it, even if the secret was leaked, it was already leaked. If he could add Gu Nianzhi as a friend again, then his "leaking" the secret would be valuable.
Therefore, Vladimir said half-truthfully, "That person has a problem with me. He can't stand the sight of my elite troops and wants to get rid of my people, so he set up this trap to make me fail the mission."
Gu Nianzhi replied with an "oh" and felt even more unhappy. She pouted and said, "So he's targeting you and your men? But why do they have to use us as an example? Ms. Song and I aren't from your country. He's doing this because he doesn't care about us. My life is worthless. I really don't deserve to be friends with the KGB. Who knows, I might be 'sacrificed' by you for no reason one day. Alright, I'm hanging up. "
"Don't hang up!" Vladimir was anxious. "He really can't do this. The Huaxia Empire is our old friend. We won't let our loved ones suffer and our enemies be happy. So don't worry, I'll definitely help you vent your anger!"
Not only did he want Gu Nianzhi to vent her anger, but more importantly, he wanted Huo Shaoheng to calm down.
Otherwise, Vladimir really didn't dare to imagine what kind of trouble Huo Shaoheng would cause him …
Seeing that Vladimir had already said this, Gu Nianzhi was slightly relieved. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see. Is there anything else? I'm hanging up. "
"Don't!" Vladimir stopped her again. After hesitating for a long time, he whispered, "… Then are you still going to block my number?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
He lowered his head expressionlessly and removed Vladimir's phone number from the block.
He pulled it out of the list and said perfunctorily, "Okay, it's out."
Vladimir quickly took out his phone and dialed Gu Nianzhi's number. This time, the call went through immediately.
Gu Nianzhi switched to Vladimir's number and replied, "Are you relieved now? I'm not blacklisted anymore. "
"… And WeChat, and QQ …" Vladimir's voice became softer and softer, afraid that the middle-aged driver next to him would hear him.
Gu Nianzhi mulled it over for a while, then clicked accept.
She sent a message to Vladimir: I treat you as a friend, don't let this happen a second time.
Vladimir quickly shook his head. "No, no! There won't be a second time! "
This time it was a complete accident.
Vladimir added back and realized that he had entered the KGB trio's discussion group again. He was instantly in high spirits.
In a moment of happiness, he also sent Gu Nianzhi an exclusive red packet. Although it wasn't as extravagant as hers, the red packet of 6.66 yuan was already painful enough for Vladimir …
He couldn't afford to get a red packet without his real name verified ~ ~ ~
The middle-aged driver took his phone and heard a ding sound. He realized that Vladimir had actually sent a red packet. He quickly clicked on it and saw that it was Gu Nianzhi's exclusive red packet.
"Ha …" The middle-aged driver rolled his eyes and turned to leave.
..
Because of the sudden explosion of the Huaxia Empire's survey instrument, the work of the scientists from both countries stopped for a day.
Everyone had rested and reorganized. After all the instruments were re-examined by the Russian KGB and the Huaxia Special Operations Forces, they were sent back to the scientists for further use.
Early the next morning, Gu Nianzhi woke up and found that Huo Shaoheng was no longer in the tent.
She had slept early the night before, and Huo Shaoheng had returned late. Seeing that she was fast asleep, he resisted the urge to touch her and hugged her to sleep for the entire night. Before dawn, he had woken up to help Song Jinning set up the instruments again.
Gu Nianzhi came out of the tent, took a deep breath, and stretched.
The air in the valley was as fresh as the first snowfall in winter. It was refreshing with a biting chill.
Gu Nianzhi walked around the tent a few times. The morning dew had wet the tips of her eyebrows and hair. Her eyes were wet and crystal clear.
The middle-aged driver came out from behind the tent. When he saw her come out, he greeted her happily, "Cereus, you're awake? I'll take you to breakfast! "
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. "Did Major General Huo ask you to wait for me here?"
"How did you know?!" The middle-aged driver scratched his head. "Vladimir followed Major General Huo to the giant circular pit early in the morning. Lina and Peter also went. I didn't want to go, hehe …"
Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth with a smile. She thought to herself that Ivan was really naturally cheerful and optimistic to be able to survive in the KGB …
She liked to be friends with cheerful and sunny people. That way, her mood would be better and she wouldn't have to feel sorry for herself every day and receive the negative energy of others.
Gu Nianzhi got into the middle-aged driver's car and went to the resort villa with him.
After returning to the resort villa, Gu Nianzhi first went to the suite that she and Huo Shaoheng shared to wash up, then went to the dining room for breakfast.
They went early enough, but of course, they were still a little later than the scientists.
The two of them had soft-boiled eggs, butter-fried bacon, two Russian bacon sausages, and two crispy pieces of whole-wheat bread.
Gu Nianzhi also took two small tomatoes the size of quail eggs to decorate.
The middle-aged driver looked at the breakfast on Gu Nianzhi's plate, which was about the same as his own. He smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "Cereus, you eat a lot, but you don't get fat."
Gu Nianzhi glared at him. "Eat your food! If you keep spouting nonsense, you won't get a red packet for today! "
The middle-aged driver pursed his lips and asked in confusion, "… How did I spout nonsense? I didn't, right? "
"Don't you know that the word 'fat' is the taboo of all women?! Whoever touches it will die! " Gu Nianzhi waved the knife in front of the middle-aged driver and made a throat-cutting gesture.
The middle-aged driver was shocked and quickly pushed her away. "I say, can't you not be fat? I didn't say you were fat! "
"Don't mention the word fat! I'll get angry with anyone who mentions it! " Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes at the middle-aged driver and finished her breakfast in a few bites. She then went to buy the same two breakfasts and brought them out in a food box.
The middle-aged driver looked at her after getting into the car and asked with a smile, "… Is this for Major General Huo? Actually, he should have eaten breakfast already, right? "
"It doesn't matter even if he has eaten breakfast." Gu Nianzhi smiled and carefully held the food box to her chest. "This is his second breakfast. They have a lot of work, so how can they be full from breakfast? "
The middle-aged driver: "…"
Forget it, he was just asking for trouble. He had eaten a meal of dog food for nothing. He was so full ~ ~ ~
The middle-aged driver drove the car towards the huge circular crater.
In the car, Gu Nianzhi beat around the bush and asked about the explosion yesterday.
Vladimir was a cunning person. She had blacklisted him, but she couldn't get any more information out of him.
She could only start with the middle-aged driver.
The middle-aged driver felt that it was fine to tell Gu Nianzhi about this. The key was that they were indeed in the wrong. Besides, they had hated Wassily to death for a long time. Many people had been tricked by him and had suffered from him both openly and secretly.
"… Actually, what happened yesterday was indeed our fault." The middle-aged driver sighed. "With such a rat poop, our entire pot of soup was spoiled …"
As he spoke, he told Gu Nianzhi about what Wassily had done in the political department at the headquarters. In the end, he said, "Our Major Lina is such a good comrade! She has made so many contributions that she's qualified to be promoted to colonel, not to mention lieutenant colonel. She's different from me. I'm just dawdling around every day, while Lina is really risking her life to carry out her mission. Tell me, such a good comrade, yet he still refuses to give her a quick promotion. Who will work for him in the future?! "
Gu Nianzhi burst out laughing. "Uncle Ivan, you still know that you're dawdling around?!"
"Of course I know." The middle-aged driver nodded with a smile. "I don't have much ability. In a place like this, if I don't dawdle around, am I supposed to wait to be played to death by my own people or by the enemy?"
"You're quite self-aware," Gu Nianzhi joked. "Actually, you don't have to belittle yourself, Uncle Ivan. You're a wise man. Maybe you're better than everyone else!"
"Haha! It'd be great if I was better than everyone else! "The middle-aged driver laughed heartily." Then wouldn't I be able to receive more red packets?! "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Of course, of course! The appearance of red packets has attracted everyone's attention! With Ivan's appearance, who can compete with him! "
The two of them chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the base on the other side of the giant circular crater.
The sun had already risen.
White clouds floated in the azure sky. The fog on the side of the giant circular crater was thicker than in other places because there was more water here. The bottom of the giant circular crater was said to be filled with water, so one could look down from above. It was exactly the same as the blue hole in the Caribbean Sea.
The more water there was, the more water vapor would evaporate. Although the sun was shining brightly, the place still seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of fog.
Both the people and the equipment were covered with a thin layer of gauze, giving off a translucent and hazy feeling.
Huo Shaoheng was standing next to Song Jinning, listening to her discuss data with other scientists. Suddenly, he felt something and turned around to see Gu Nianzhi walking over from the path into the base.
She walked through the clouds and the fog, and the trees on the side of the path provided shade. Her figure was indistinct against the fog, as if she would fly away with the wind at any time.
Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and walked up to her. He naturally held her hand and looked at her hair that was wet with dew. "Why didn't you wear a hat? This dew is too cold. Be careful not to get a headache. "
"It's okay. The sun will dry it in a while." Gu Nianzhi shook her head nonchalantly and handed the food box to Huo Shaoheng. She smiled and said, "I brought this for you. It's freshly baked, hot, soft-boiled eggs, butter fried bacon, bacon roasted sausages, and whole-wheat bread. It's exactly the same as what I had for breakfast."
Huo Shaoheng had woken up early this morning to help Song Jinning sort out the equipment, so he hadn't actually had time to eat breakfast.
However, he was used to having a full meal when he was hungry, so he didn't feel anything was wrong.
It wasn't until he saw the breakfast Gu Nianzhi had bought for him that he felt that his stomach was indeed rumbling with hunger.
He quietly carried it over and said gently, "Thank you, I just so happen to be hungry."
Gu Nianzhi quickly followed him to the folding chair next to him and sat down. She opened the food box for him to eat breakfast.
While Huo Shaoheng was eating breakfast, Gu Nianzhi went to watch Song Jinning do the test.
"Good morning, Ms. Song." Gu Nianzhi greeted her with a smile. "Have you had breakfast? I bought two breakfasts from there. "
Song Jinning shook her head. "I ate a piece of bread and drank a glass of milk. I'm not hungry."
She was concentrating on the instrument when Gu Nianzhi walked over. She stuck her head out to look at the huge circular pit in front of her, wanting to see what was at the bottom of the pit.
Song Jinning quickly said, "Nianzhi, move aside. You're blocking my probe."
Gu Nianzhi replied with an "oh" and realized that she was indeed standing right in front of Song Jinning's probe. She quickly moved aside.
As soon as she moved, Song Jinning's probe suddenly screeched.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Everyone at the base looked over.
Huo Shaoheng threw down the food box and rushed over. He was extremely angry. He didn't know what the KGB was up to this time.
But this time, he was wrong.
This time, it had nothing to do with the KGB at all.
Song Jinning looked at the probe with her eyes wide open and said loudly, "The magnetic field data has changed! The wave curve is beginning to fold! Everyone, start immediately! Record all the data! From now on, we can't miss a single second! "
She looked at the probe in front of her excitedly and began to count down.
"Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!"
As she counted the last number, the fog above the circular crater in front of them became thicker. The fog twisted into ropes and shuttled back and forth in front of them. It was as if a tornado had descended from the sky and twisted the fog into thick ropes.
