The closer you are to the target, the more embarrassing the scene outside the window will be.

The launch base covers a vast area and the location must be remote enough, so it can only be selected in economically underdeveloped areas. With women driving all the way, the bustling city has long disappeared; She galloped past the villages and towns and the countryside. She saw clothes still hanging outside the dilapidated mud houses, plastic bags soaked in black waste water on both sides of the road, and the old man sitting on the roadside doing manual work while scolding the children who didn't wear pants next to him. The skin on his face was so dry that there seemed to be no blood under it.

There is always a light gray fog between heaven and earth. I don't know whether it is pollution or despair. At night, she felt more comfortable: most of the outline was hidden. In the dark and silent night, only distant mountains and sparse stars looked at the world silently.

On a mobile phone screen in the car, maruqingge's back in running is still so stable; However, even in the night, it can be seen that the clothes on his back have been soaked.

Han Suiping in the distance immediately sent maruqingge's location and image to the mobile phone stolen by the woman Yue through the map satellite, so that she would not be lost due to speed and accidents.

The two have been running for 40 hours without food, sleep or rest. Now they are more than 350 kilometers away from the satellite launch base - the rocket carrying the satellite will be launched at 10 a.m. sharp, and now it is 4 a.m.

After deducting the time of one hour to mix into the base and install the communicator, it means that they still have five hours to finish the 350 kilometers. Theoretically, it is enough, and they can even take some time to catch their breath.

"Let's stop for a while," the female Yue said to the earphone, "if you run down again, and wait until the base, you will be tired into a useless person. What's the use of that?"

"I agree." Han Suiping's voice interposed.

This is the fourth time that the female Yue advised maruqingge to have a rest tonight, and the first three times were rejected by one mouthful - however, this time, the figure on the screen slowly slowed down until it completely stopped and sat down with a thud.

"Such a little journey... In the past, it was nothing at all." In the earphone, his voice was hoarse and almost cracked: "is there still water?"

"Yes, wait a minute." The woman stepped on the accelerator and accelerated.

The communication between the three of them was also completed by Han Suiping manipulating the signal of the communication base station; They haven't slept for 40 hours, and he has been monitoring and coordinating in the distance for 40 hours. Han Suiping occasionally throws his image signal on the mobile phone screen, and he can't see where he is now. It's always dark; The face illuminated by the desk lamp from bottom to top always startles the woman.

When she drove close, maruqingge, who was pale, was sitting on the side of the road at night, with a row of cypress trees rustling in the wind behind her; Behind the cypress trees, there are dark fields where you can't see your head. He had taken off his coat and windscreen, and his slender muscles were shining slightly with sweat in the moonlight.

The female Yue handed him two bottles of mineral water, sighed and said, "take a rest, you're all smelling of sweat."

Maruqingge raised his face and poured down a large bottle of water; The water wet his hair, splashed on his shoulder and fell into his mouth. Han Suiping's voice came from his mobile phone: "I think I can spare 20 minutes to rest... After all, you still have to get in after arriving at the base. If you look too miserable, people are easy to suspect."

The more I think of this, the more uncomfortable I feel. She asked Han Suiping whether she could also join the base to help, but she got a less happy answer: from the staff data, there are not many female employees in the base, and most of them work in living supporting units, such as hospitals and hotels; It is also difficult for her to enter the core department.

"Girls are not good at science and technology," Han Suiping naturally comforted her at that time, "so there are few people."

"I'll remind you in advance," nuyue replied, "if you go to the 12th World and say such words, you will be taught to be a man by the female evolutionist."

This sentence startled him at that time, but he didn't dare to say anything for dozens of minutes later.

"OK,"

Maruqingge's voice called her mind back, "I can just wash a little. Maybe my sweat is too smelly, and I always feel that there are small insects flying next to me."

As he spoke, he waved hard beside him - maybe there were many mosquitoes in the countryside. The more I remember, he seemed to have said similar words when slowing down and climbing the mountain road yesterday.

After he came back with an empty water bottle and changed his dry clothes, he only slept for ten minutes, and was called up by the woman again. Maruqingge was obviously still dazed and stunned for a few seconds before he realized where he was and what he wanted to do; Without saying a word, he put on his goggles and went on the road again.

"Come on," the female Yue said to him in the earphone, "at 10:01 a.m., we can set foot on the way back. Then you can have a good sleep in the car and sleep for a few hours."

In fact, she herself was dizzy with fatigue, but she still couldn't rest on the return trip. She had only one time to rest - after maruqingge entered the base and before she came out.

Fortunately, the next trip went smoothly, and they gradually approached the satellite launch base according to the original schedule. The foggy countryside has long been thrown out of sight. The flat and wide road cuts straight into the canyon, and roadside signs, warning signs, and the surrounding facilities of the space city gradually begin to appear; Maruqingge slowed down in front of him and said from his headphones, "nvyue, the first checkpoint is in front of me. From the road sign, it's still a kilometer away from me."

The female Yue calculated the distance between her and her in her heart, and then replied, "OK, wait for me for a while, and I'll be there in a minute."

From the first checkpoint, she will hand over the car to maruqingge and let him enter the base alone. Han Suiping has saved his fake information and license plate number into the staff system of the satellite base, and it is enough to deal with the peripheral inspection checkpoints.

Maruqingge will lie that he lost his wallet and his ID, but his personal data and facial recognition data have been stored in the system, which is enough to prove that he is an employee of the base. Even if necessary, maruqingge will ask to check the checkpoint and call the base to confirm his identity - Han Suiping can intercept the communication signal, and then the caller will hear his voice.

"Well, I see you," the woman slowed down, and the figure on the far side of the road waved to her. She pulled the car close to the roadside and suddenly felt that the car was a little too quiet. She couldn't help shouting, "Han Suiping?"

A long, steady breath answered her.

"Han Suiping!" The female Yue raised her voice a little.

Han Suiping took a breath, "ah?" With a sound, the voice returned to the headset: "what? Who... Oh, oh. I just fell asleep?"

"Don't sleep at such a critical time. We're all at the first level." the more anxious the woman became, "go and wash your face!"

"I have no water here..." Han Suiping grunted, sleepy still trapped in his throat. "Wait... It seems that I accidentally released the satellite signal when I just fell asleep. Let me find you..."

When he spoke, nvyue had stopped the car beside maruqingge. In the early morning, there is not even a car on the road in this direction, but it is not afraid to be seen; She grabbed her cell phone and backpack, got out of the car and gave him the driver's seat. Maruqingge closed the door, waved to her, and opened out on the road ahead.

"Oh, I found it. It's in front of the first checkpoint. I saw his car." Han Suiping couldn't help but get a little nervous and said as if to make a promise, "I'm ready. As long as they call, I can intercept the signal at any time."

In one minute, maruqingge can reach the checkpoint.

Although the speed of nvyue was not as fast as maruqingge, a kilometer was only a few minutes' journey for her. She soon saw the silver car from a distance. Maruqingge stopped the car outside the inspection post. At this time, the man got out of the car and was talking to a soldier - in addition, several heavily armed people opened the trunk and door of the car, even the bottom of the car, and were checking carefully.

In the earphone, he was explaining to the person who checked the checkpoint that he was a base employee and had lost his wallet for some reason. Now he had to rush back to the base yunyun... Obviously, everything was going according to the plan.

"You can call the base to confirm my identity..."

"No." Everything went surprisingly well - after the soldier swept maruqingge's face with a machine, he nodded at the screen for a few times, then nodded at him and said, "well, you're in the system. Secondary researcher? But you must quickly apply for a certificate when you go back, not for example."

He shouted to several colleagues, "has the car been checked?"

"The car is OK," several other people also walked back, "you can go over."

The female Yue, who was secretly lying in the grass beside the road, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The silver car restarted, crossed the checkpoint and continued to drive on the road ahead. She couldn't go any further. The electrified protective net in front cut off the road high, and the camera and searchlight wouldn't miss anyone who dared to approach - the only entrance was the road maruqingge had just passed.

She squatted in the grass, listening to the occasional conversation between maruqingge and Han Suiping, while watching the silver car gradually become smaller and soon disappear from her vision.

"Wish me well," maruqingge said with a slight smile.

The next second, a loud explosion suddenly sounded on the road in the distance. A broken silver car was thrown up like a matchbox, and the flames rushed into the air.
