Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

After 30 minutes, the flying saucer drilled down from the clouds.In front of it is the broad water surface of the Yangtze River, passing ships in an endless stream, and the flying saucer hovering slightly to the north. Below is a circle of lotus-shaped peaks. The mountains here are deep and densely forested, and there are almost no traces of people. It still maintains a simple and simple appearance.In fact, the Lotus 12 Peak has been built into a huge silo.The command platform is also in the belly of the mountain, connected with the silos by tunnels.As long as the emergency take-off order is heard, within 1 minute, the camouflaged manhole cover will be unscrewed, and 10 spacecraft will be lifted into the sky amidst the fireworks.

Yu Pingning had led the Special Operations Division here for actual combat exercises and was very familiar with it. He asked Li Jian to stop the flying saucer at the entrance, and the three of them came down and saluted the guards.Li Jian and Yu Pingning first checked their fingerprints and pupil patterns, which is a common procedure for anti-K bureaus. After their identities were confirmed, the guards asked: "Colonel Li Jian, Colonel Yu Pingning, are you here on business?" Yu Pingning said briefly: "Please call Zumalev, I will talk to him." Zumalev appeared on the screen: "Hello, two distinguished guests, yes, and a lady, I sincerely welcome you."

Yu Pingning said: "Hello, Patriarch. Li Jian and I have an urgent matter, and this Tina Qian, please go through the formalities for her to enter the base." "Okay." He explained a few words to the guard, and the guard conducted a full set of inspections on Tina, recorded her fingerprints and pupil patterns, and then led them into the elevator. The elevator stopped after going down about 200 meters. Zumalev greeted them with a smile at the door, and hugged the three of them one by one: "Hello, Xiao Li, Xiao Yu, and Miss Qian." This is a Russian guy as strong as a black bear, 40 years old About 2 meters tall.Compared with him, Li Jian and Yu Pingning have become children, and Tina has become a pocket girl, "What a beautiful girl, smaller than her, don't let her chance go."

He laughed so loudly that it sounded like it was shaking the roof tiles.Enter the office and serve steaming coffee.Yu Pingning said: "There is a confidential matter, don't let anyone disturb you." Zumalev ordered into the intercom: "I have important guests, please don't disturb them, and don't answer other calls except for emergency calls from the Anti-K Bureau." He led the three into the secret room, closed the door, and asked the three to sit down. He also sat on the swivel chair and said solemnly: "Let's get started." Li Jian and Yu Pingning jumped up at the same time, took out their pistols, and forced Zumalev to the left and right.Zumalev stared and said, "What is this for?"

Yu Pingning smiled bitterly and said, "For your sake, we need to create such a scene of coercion by force. Please be patient and listen to our story." Tina said: "Let me tell." So she articulately narrated what she saw and heard these days, how she tracked down Yu Pingning, how she was rescued from the fire by Yu Pingning, and witnessed him killing again and again .There is also his sobriety and pain after completing K star's order, Li Jian's tenacity in overcoming the subconscious order, and the two's death in pain until his intervention and their secret plan.She was moved and said tearfully:

"Mr. Zumalev, you are good friends with them. Please use your own heart to judge whether I am telling the truth or a lie. Our trip to Mercury this time may not succeed. Demons, the intelligence of the people on Earth is probably not worth their laughter. But anyway, please help us try, for the sake of the earth and mankind. Okay?" Zumalev pondered for a long time before he said calmly: "I will never conspire with you. But I am under the surveillance of two guns, and the gunman is the top player in the anti-K bureau. There is nothing I can do." The three nodded, tacit understanding."I want two people on a certain spacecraft to leave the silo," Yu Pingning said.

Zumalev nodded, and pressed the next number: "Wang Shiwei, Li Deyong, you leave the silo and return to the command center. The space suits are left behind. Prepare another set, adjust it according to the size of 165 mm, and someone will take over. you." These spacecraft are on 24-hour alert. Two astronauts are wearing spacesuits and holding helmets in their hands. They stand at attention to the screen and answer: "Yes, number one understands." When the two left the spaceship, Yu Pingning walked over with the rope and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Patriarch, I'm going to tie you up." He and Li Jian tied Zumalev to the swivel chair firmly, The mouth was sealed with tape, and then the three said goodbye with their eyes.

Yu Pingning looked around at the crowd, resolutely pressed the emergency alarm, then led the two downstairs, quickly stepped into the No. 1 passage, and the automatic car drove towards the No. 1 silo at high speed.Stern sirens rang through the quiet mountains, 10 launch shaft covers were slowly opened, and members of the space fleet immediately entered the spacecraft and closed the hatches tightly.All ground crew are in their positions. The automatic car stopped, and the three jumped out of the car, quickly put on their space suits, and Yu Pingning came over to help Tina put on her helmet.In the helmet, Tina was both nervous and excited, with fiery eyes, Yu Pingning felt a dull pain in his heart, what a lovely girl, he really didn't want to lead her into a road of no return.But he didn't say anything, and led the two quickly up the gangway and into the spaceship.

In addition to the center console, there is also an ignition button inside the spaceship.Yu Pingning sat on the driver's seat, looked at Li Jian on the right, looked at Tina behind him, and said: "I'm going to light a fire." The two had put on their helmets, and they forgot to turn on the intercom, so they didn't hear what Yu Pingning was saying, but they both nodded solemnly.Yu Pingning pressed the ignition button, and immediately there was a roar, the ground trembled slightly, and smoke rose from the silo.The spaceship slowly rose out of the mouth of the well, emitting a strong yellow light.After getting out of the wellhead, the spaceship accelerated sharply and quickly rose to the zenith, then changed direction and flew away along the tangent to the earth.

When the spaceship ignited, there was a panic in the launch site, and the crew of several other spaceships hurriedly shouted: "Control Tower, why did Spaceship No. 1 suddenly ignite? Is there something wrong with the command system?" No one can answer.The command tower hurriedly called Zumalev's office again, but there was no reply.A few minutes later, guards broke into the office and saw him struggling in his chair.They quickly cut the rope and tore off the sealing tape. Zumalev threw himself on the communicator and shouted: "Spaceships No. 2 and No. 3 immediately lifted off and shot down Spaceship No. 1. Please note, for safety reasons, do not fly out of the distance of 1 million kilometers from the earth, and return immediately if you cannot catch up. Execute the order immediately!"

The two spaceships roared into the sky.Zumalev came to the conning tower and looked nervously at the screen.In fact, he knew very well that No. 2 and No. 3 took off 10 minutes late, and it was impossible to catch up with No. 1.He hoped that his judgment was correct and that he had not let go of the three real spies.As for his future fate, he didn't want to think about it. The three laser-driven spaceships had already flown 100,000 kilometers away, when the command tower suddenly received a call from No. 2: "The command tower, there is a light hole ahead! The rebel spaceship suddenly disappeared!" Zumalev decisively ordered: "Immediately avoid the light hole and return to Earth!" His heart sank, he was willing to believe in Li Jian and Yu Pingning, but what happened to the support of the K star people?Is it a conspiracy in advance, or the astute reaction of the K star people? He came to the secret room of the command tower and wanted to make a call to the Anti-K Bureau.Now, I should apologize to General Ivanov for committing suicide, he thought wryly.The secretary told him that the general was not here, and he went to the 01 base to deal with an urgent business, and asked General Zumalev to contact there. In that fortified basement, Tenek struggled for hours.His heart was pounding, like a thunderclap in this soundproof room.A few hours ago, he woke up from a coma, and through the door of the room, he could vaguely hear Li Jian typing on the keyboard.What is this bastard doing?Enter a self-destruct command?He really didn't want to believe all this, Li Jian was very tall in his mind, he would rather doubt that he was a spy than Li Jian.However, this is the truth! Hearing that Li Jian stopped operating and walked to the gate, the steel gate opened and closed with a bang.Tenek struggled to loosen the bindings.Just now Li Jian said "you will understand me in the future", in the future?To understand him in the bang of the self-explosion of the device? Cursing bitterly in his heart, he struggled as hard as he could, and finally untied the rope and removed the sealing tape.Almost exhausted, he still struggled to get to the door and restore the internal pickup system first.The guards outside the door immediately heard a loud bang, and then the alarm sounded like crazy.Amidst the deafening sirens, they heard another thunderous voice: "Li Jian rebelled, quickly notify General Ivanov of the Anti-K Bureau!" Base 01 immediately panicked, like an ant nest that has been doused with boiling water.They have conducted many exercises, considering all dangers, except that the top security officials will mutiny.Masaharu Miki rushed to the office immediately, and issued a series of orders: block the gate, put all personnel into first-level combat readiness, immediately notify the Anti-K Bureau, and search for the whereabouts of the "Archangel" flying saucer... Twenty minutes later, General Ivanov hurried over, followed by Nitta Tsuruko, their faces were very gloomy.They rushed to the basement and used the spare key to open the steel door.Tenek was sitting in front of the computer in a daze, and he didn't salute the general after he entered.He said confusedly: "General, the device is safe and sound. In the morning, after the nasty spy knocked me out, he entered the self-destruct command. I just checked, and it's strange that he entered the entire complex set of commands accurately, but set the self-destruct time at the end. At that time, he made a ridiculous mistake," Tenek emphasized: "It's really a very ridiculous mistake that should never be made. He lost at 11:61, so the computer refused to execute it. It's a blessing. .” The general returned to the office and asked about everything in detail today, including the light hole in the sky, Li Jian's question about the left and right of the heart, the visit of Yu Pingning and Tina, and the situation of the three leaving by flying saucer.The general looked gloomy. He loved these two subordinates very much and did not want to associate them with the evil spies.Nitta Tsuruko held back tears and sat in the corner listening to these narratives.It turned out that Yu Pingning had an arm broken, so he must have suffered... But, don't think this way, he is a hateful spy! The phone rang, and it was from Zumalev: "General, Li Jian and Yu Pingning just escaped from the earth on Spaceship No. 1. I ordered Spaceship No. 2 and No. 3 to pursue them, but they have been picked up by the K star people in the light hole." .I request punishment." On screen, he doesn't seem terribly sad or depressed.Ivanov remained expressionless, but secretly doubted in his heart.The spaceship launch site was heavily guarded. Even though Yu Pingning and Li Jian were powerful and familiar with the inside story, they would not steal a spaceship.Is there something hidden here?He ordered: "Give your job to the deputy and come to base 01 to meet me." "yes." Half an hour later, Zumalev was escorted by the guards to Base 01, where he asked to meet the general.The two talked in secret for nearly an hour. The next day, Zumalev was dismissed from office and locked up pending processing.Ivanov submitted a resignation report to the World Government, stating that he was responsible for the failure of the Anti-K Bureau.The news that Moore and 6 people were killed by the K-stars also began to spread. The three main bases of the Anti-K Bureau: Base 01, Space Fleet and Special Operations Division were filled with panic and anxiety.
