Chapter -1

Cold winter, somewhere in the northeast.

Between Baishan and Heishui, in a deep depression in the mountains, hundreds of years of black pine forests are densely surrounded here.

There are several small artificial flat lands in the depression, and more than a dozen long row wooden houses almost integrated with the pine forest are hidden quietly. Several teams are only dressed in camouflage pants, bare chest and back, showing their strong thighs. Barefoot tough young people are carrying thick round stakes, shuttling through the mountains and forests, running down and back on the hillside, climbing and dawdling among man-made obstacles.

The temperature is more than 30 degrees below zero, but these tough young people are steaming and sweating. Under the bronze skin, the blood vessels of these young people burst out like earthworms, wriggling with their violent actions, full of a wild but strict sense of strength.

Tan Lang, dressed in a patient's suit, stood at the window of a wooden house with a cigarette in his mouth, staring at the young people who wantonly sprinkled their youth and heat in the ice and snow. Smoke filled his face, masking a sense of loss and confusion on his bearded face.

The windows are wide open, and the temperature in the room is no different from that outside. Tan Lang was wrapped in a blue and white striped patient suit, and his two hairy legs were exposed in the cold and biting air. His left ankle was tightly bound with a thick bandage, with blood seeping out.

Apart from the injury near his ankle, Tan Lang's left shoulder was wrapped like a zongzi, and the smell of medicine and blood spread out.

A cold wind suddenly blew, and Tan Lang's vigorous body suddenly trembled. He muttered a curse, and his right arm slipped down from his collar like a bone, scratching his back hard for a while. Five dexterous fingers learned that the rope scratched the whole back, and he scratched many places that ordinary people couldn't touch at all.

He scratched hard for a while. Tan Lang pulled out his hand and bounced off several pieces of broken dander embedded in his fingernails. Suddenly, he sighed heavily.

The wooden door of the house was kicked open, and a middle-aged man in camouflage training clothes, about in his early 40s, strode in. He looked at Tan Lang standing in a daze at the window, frowned, fiercely stood at attention and shouted, "greedy wolf star!"

Tan Lang almost instinctively stood at attention, and the cigarette hung at the corner of his mouth blew out all the way. He loudly answered "yes"!

A neat turn in place, Tan Lang raised his right hand and gave a military salute to the middle-aged man. But his left ankle suddenly softened, his body reeled, and he almost fell to the ground.

He cursed angrily. Tan Lang looked at his left foot angrily. That trace of confusion and loss appeared on his face again. Without looking at the middle-aged man, he turned to close the window and sat down on the only chair in the room.

The middle-aged man glanced at Tan Lang and threw several certificates and a bank card on the floor in front of Tan Lang.

"There are two ways. First, you are injured and retired on duty. A special police team is being set up in your hometown. You take your pension to be their captain."

His dull face smoked. Tan Lang didn't know where to grab a cigarette and put it in his mouth. The middle-aged man walked up to tan Lang, took out a match and lit a cigarette for him. After taking a deep breath and spitting out a thick light blue smoke, Tan Lang said coldly with a hoarse throat: "I don't like this job."

Looking at Tan Lang deeply, the middle-aged man said solemnly: "think clearly, I'd rather you be the captain."

Tan Lang stretched out his right leg lazily, shook a few times, and looked at the middle-aged man without saying a word.

Shaking his head, the middle-aged man said coldly, "change your clothes and go with me to see someone. But I'd rather you didn't see him."

Surprised, he looked at the middle-aged man. Tan Lang frowned and thought for a while. He tried to prop up his body with his right leg and staggered to the wardrobe in the corner step by step.

The middle-aged man shook his head, took a deep breath, and then slowly vomited out.

Five minutes later, the middle-aged man took Tan Lang to a two-story wooden building at the end of the mountain depression. Here, the middle-aged man solemnly told Tan Lang two words, and then turned and left.

Glancing at the two-story wooden building, Tan Lang crooked his mouth, clubbed a crutch and walked slowly into the building. He turned to the door of an office. Without knocking at the door, Tan Lang twisted his crotch, knocked the door open with his ass and walked in.

In the office originally belonging to the middle-aged man, behind the desk full of battle maps, a middle-aged man with dark face, wearing a black suit and huge dark sunglasses covered most of his face. He looked like a black bat sitting in an office chair, his hands on the table and looking at Tan Lang.

Tan Lang closed the door of the office with his ass, leaned against the wooden door and looked at the man in black.

After a quarter of an hour, Tan Lang suddenly smiled: "why do you have the meaning of loving men and women? What's your surname? What's your name?"

The man in black took back his eyes, grabbed two file bags from his side, put them in front of him, and said dryly, "you can call me Lao Wang."

"Your real name?" Tan Lang asked curiously.

"It's just a symbol. Does it make sense?" The man in black smiled and said, "I have forgotten my last name."

He took out his cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth. After lighting the fire, he took a deep breath. Tan Lang murmured in a low voice, "I don't want to go to provide for the elderly."

The man in black smiled. He said deeply, "the king of war who can be nicknamed greedy wolf star should not have gone to provide for the elderly. I'll give you a chance to make you a murderer who can look at the world with pride. You don't have to thank me too much."

Tan Lang burst into laughter when he heard these words.

The crutch knocked hard on his left ankle. Tan Lang sneered, "do you laugh at me? My left wrist tendon was broken and my left shoulder tendon was cut off. I'm already a loser!"

Turning around and opening the door, Tan Lang scolded, "I thought there was something good waiting for me!"

Old Wang in black smiled dryly: "there is a place where there is something that can cure your muscles and bones. With your conditions, those people will be happy to cure you with this precious medicine."

Tan Lang's body suddenly stiffened. He vomited a cloud of smoke and muttered in a low voice: "those experts have said that I'm lucky that I can walk with crutches in the future. Can those people be better than those experts in the military region hospital?"

Old Wang in Black said deeply, "the world is so big that there are no surprises. Do it according to my arrangement. Your foot and shoulder injuries can definitely be cured. That kind of medicine is very precious, but because of some personal conditions, they will be willing to spend a lot of money on you."

After closing the door, Tan Lang went to his desk, looked down at the old king in black, and said word by word: "go ahead, what do you want me to do? Explain to me, what do those people like about me?"

Looking up at Tan Lang, old Wang in Black said the same word by word: "if you want to join us, you must say goodbye to everything in the past. You will lose all your resume, your name, all your social relations and everything you are familiar with."

Take a deep breath, old Wang in black continues to say in a cold tone: "you will have a new name, a new identity, a new face, a new resume, and everything is brand-new. In the future, you will face challenges and situations that are 10 times and 100 times more dangerous than you are in the special brigade. Most of the time, you will fight alone."

"Undercover?" Tan Lang smiled. He spit out the cigarette butts on the ground, grabbed a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at the dark old Wang in black, Tan Lang smiled and asked, "when can I change back to myself?"

Old Wang in black looked at Tan Lang and said word by word, "when necessary."

Shaking his head, Tan Lang sighed, "what I said is equal to not saying. However, I don't want to provide for the elderly and be disabled all my life. So I did it!"

Looking at Tan Lang deeply and staring at Tan Lang for nearly ten minutes, old Wang in black grabbed a file bag in front of him, took out a thick stack of materials from it and read it out slowly.

Name: Tan Lang

Code: greedy wolf star

Title: leader of the first vanguard division of a special brigade of a military region.

Resume: he joined the army in 2015. In the first year, he won the first place in the military region's recruit competition. In 2016, the PLA ranked 38th in the comprehensive military skills contest. In 2017, the PLA ranked seventh in the comprehensive military skills contest. In 2018, he was specially selected into the "army breaking" special brigade, code named greedy wolf star...

One task record after another was read out by old Wang in black. Tan Lang's bearded face was gradually covered up by the smoke emitted by the cigarette, and he couldn't see his expression at the moment.

"On the cross-border mission in 2023, he led a sharp unit to ambush, covered the retreat of the whole team with one person, broke through the encirclement of nearly 1000 special soldiers, killed by 47 ace snipers, accidentally stepped on an anti infantry mine and hurt his ankle and hamstring. Then he annihilated 93 elite enemies in close combat and returned to the base smoothly... In the last close combat conflict, his left shoulder was badly stabbed by the army, and the injury was incurable 。”

With a hint of appreciation, touching this thick resume, old Wang in black looked at Tan Lang and asked, "really willing?"

Tan Lang looked at the old king in black, nodded vigorously and said, "as long as I'm not disabled and don't let me provide for the elderly, I'm willing!"

After a moment of silence, Tan Lang added, "I'm willing to be alone anyway!"

Taking out a tin bucket from under his desk, old Wang in black set Tan Lang's resume on fire.

Looking at Tan Lang, old Wang in Black said in a deep voice, "then, forget everything about your past, and all your written and electronic documents will be completely destroyed. Any relevant information may pose a great threat to you in the future."

"You will gradually contact our goal according to our arrangement. Your future identity is an undercover."

"The organization I belong to, code named 'Tianluo', will not keep any information related to you. Everything about you only has a single line contact with me. No one in the world knows your true identity except me. No one can prove your true identity except me."

"You still have ten seconds to regret whether to join us."

Old Wang in black looked at Tan Lang, and Tan Lang, who vomited thick smoke, also looked at Old Wang in black.

After ten seconds, Tan Lang smiled and asked, "really don't leave any information?"

Old Wang in black nodded solemnly: "for an organization that has visited the central treasury of the Federal Reserve several times, any written and electronic information is unsafe. For your safety, no one will know your identity except me."

Spitting cigarette butts on the ground, Tan Lang asked curiously, "with Tianluo, there should be an Internet cafe?"

Pondering for a moment, the old king in black smiled. He said calmly: "Tianluo is responsible for 'control', and the ground network is responsible... Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!" Tan Lang imitated the voice of the old king in black and laughed a few times. He raised his right hand, leaned in from his collar, scratched his itchy back for a while, and said seriously, "I've done it!"
