Chapter 9 Entering Warehouse 94

  Sun Qifan didn't know what kind of tricks Old Zhao was playing, but as long as he went to the 094 warehouse once, he could be dispatched to the Shenxian Bay outpost, so why not?

  "Alright, I'll go with you." Sun Qifan finally agreed to Old Zhao's invitation and walked together towards the 094 warehouse.

  At this moment, Sun had already arrived at the last checkpoint one kilometer outside Warehouse 094. He could clearly see the gate of Warehouse 094 with a sentry post set up in front of it. Two special soldiers with live ammunition were patrolling left and right at the entrance, while on one side, a sniper was observing the surrounding area for any signs of movement.

  As he arrived here, Sun Buang slowed down his pace, afraid that he would show too much anxiety and cause unnecessary trouble.

  Even so, with a "bang!" of gunfire, a bullet landed just an inch in front of Sun Fu's right foot, grazing his left calf and hitting the coconut tree on the side of the road.

  Sun immediately stopped and even took a step back, quickly raising his hands to indicate his safety.

  In the blink of an eye, no more bullets came flying over, and Sun Fan finally let out a sigh of relief. He shouted towards the coconut grove on both sides: "Brothers, I'm one of our own! I'm Sun Fan from the South Sea Fleet Flying Shark Training Base. Because one of my trainees accidentally entered this area, I've come to take her back."

  After just shouting out, and waiting for the surroundings to become completely quiet again, Sun Fu also didn't get any response from anyone.

  He tried to take another step forward, but just as his left foot was about to leave the ground, a bullet hit the tip of his left shoe, scaring him into quickly withdrawing his foot.

  This time, however, a soldier with a gun came running over. The soldier arrived in front of Sun and first gave a polite military salute before asking: "Comrade Commander, please return by the original route, we did not find any signs that you are allowed to enter."

  Sun saw that someone had come to respond and his heart felt a bit more at ease. He smiled and said, "I know, but one of my students accidentally wandered in here, I need to go find her."

  "Is the student you're looking for named Qiu Lin?"

  "Yes!" Sun Bao couldn't believe that the soldier actually knew that person was Qiu Lin, and he stared at the special forces soldier with wide eyes.

  "Comrade Qiu Lin has now been taken to the warehouse. Once we confirm that she hasn't obtained any confidential information and re-examine her file without finding any issues, someone will be sent to escort her back to the training base. Please return for now."

  "Taken to the warehouse?" Sun Bao listened to the special soldier's account, learned that Qiu Lin was safe and sound, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart. But his mind also inevitably produced a question, wondering how Qiu Lin could enter such a secret place without any mishap.

  However, the special soldier did not respond again, but raised his hand and pointed to the small path behind Sun Fu, indicating that Sun Fu should leave.

  Just as things were at an impasse, Sun Buran didn't know what reason to use to enter the warehouse when the special forces received a notice that Warehouse 094 was open for internal visits. This made Sun Buran's last worry fall away, and he couldn't help but put down his hand and smile at the special forces, "Comrade, can I go in now?"

  "Now that you have been notified, you can enter for a visit, but please keep the work confidential after the visit, Comrade Leader."

  "That's natural!"

  "Please." Responding to Sun's words, the special soldier suddenly clenched his five stretched fingers together, signaling the hidden sentry in the forest to withdraw their guns.

  It's just a matter of passing through one more door, but it's so troublesome. Sun Fan couldn't help but think that the 094 warehouse was indeed a place where even military personnel could not approach casually. However, he was still quite relieved that the internal visit application had passed so quickly, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that after Qiu Lin's matter was settled, he would give Officer Zhang Qi a little reward.

  Inside the base, they learned that they were going to visit a secret weapon research and development base. The remaining 22 students couldn't help but get excited, each one forgetting what had happened just last night, looking particularly refreshed and spirited. As they boarded the military vehicle, they couldn't help but discuss in hushed tones what equipment they would see.

  Jiang Yurou was no exception, but she wondered how there could be such an internal visit, and Qiu Lin didn't know where he went either. What's even stranger is that Zhuo Yi seemed to have no intention of asking Qiu Lin why he wasn't there.

  She put away her own little thoughts, Jiang Yurou took a deep breath, pursed her lips and smiled, also looking forward to seeing what secret equipment would be revealed next.

  On the other hand, Sun Qifan and Zhao Hu arrived at the warehouse door before Jiang Yurou and others. They were not blocked in any way, and the special soldiers who saw Old Zhao also showed great respect, without asking any questions, they let them pass, which made Sun Qifan feel that Old Zhao was even more incredibly powerful.

  What Sun Qifan didn't expect even more was that the one who came to receive Old Zhao was a senior colonel, and at a glance of his military age badge, he was a full general officer.

  "I'm going, even Director Zheng is so respectful to him. What exactly does this Old Zhao do?" Sun Qifan couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart. However, there was one thing he didn't understand - why the people here were so respectful to Old Zhao, yet they didn't address him by his title. Perhaps Old Zhao really was just a fifth-level or higher technical expert after all.

  Didn't want to bother thinking about what Old Zhao was doing, Sun Qifan felt that he was just following along to visit the 094 warehouse, going through the motions, deceiving Old Zhao into signing his transfer notice, as long as he could go to Shenxian Bay Sentry Post.

  Zhao Hu looked at Sun Qifan following him into the warehouse, but didn't seem very interested in this place. He couldn't help but think to himself, wanting to come up with a way to make Sun Qifan give up his idea of leaving the Nanhai Fleet. In fact, Zhao Hu didn't understand why he had such a strong desire to keep Sun Qifan around. If it was just because of Sun Qifan's sentence last night, "As long as the flying general is in Longcheng, I won't let the barbarian horses cross the Yin Mountains", that made Zhao Hu like him, even Zhao Hu himself found it hard to believe.

  But in fact, Zhao Hu only hoped that this visit would allow Sun Qifan to understand some things.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Hu raised his hand and patted Sun Qifan's shoulder, smiling and saying: "Young man, looking at your listless appearance, how is it? Accompanying me to visit, very humiliating, right?"

  Sun Qifan hastily smiled and said, "How could that be? You hold my fate in your hands, I wouldn't dare to slack off."

  "It's enough to know!"

  The two of them couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  While laughing, Zhao Hu said to the middle school student responsible for guiding the tour, "Then let's go see the big things first."

  As soon as he heard the big thing, the middle schooler's eyes rolled around and understood what Zhao Hu was looking for. He smiled knowingly and raised his hand to point down a passageway, saying: "Alright, let's go this way."

  Sun Qifan found that each of the passageways here led to different places, and each entrance was heavily guarded by soldiers. Although the soldiers did not have any badges or insignia on their uniforms, from the old calluses on their hands and the sharp eyes that could intimidate any enemy, it was clear that they were elite special forces.

  To enter the tunnel, you need to combine the one-third password held by each of the two soldiers guarding it with the one-third password held by Colonel Zhong. The sequence and password must be completely correct in order to gain entry.

  As for whether the password will change daily like the night watchman's password, Sun Qifan didn't dare to ask more. He felt in his heart that it was better to remain silent here.

  Along the passageway, walked about a hundred meters, and then through another glass door that required a three-person password combination, arrived at a huge indoor dock. The dock was brightly lit, with everyone busy as can be, all sorts of sounds blending together here, like playing a magnificent chapter again.

  A man wearing camouflage, with a rank of seventh-level technical officer, turned around and saw Zhao Hu, quickly jogging to the front of Zhao Hu, standing at attention in military posture after saluting, and making a report: "Report to the leader comrade, our country's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is undergoing segmented assembly work, the progress of the work is going smoothly, please instruct!"

  "Proceed as planned!"

  "Yes!"

  The technical officer responded to Zhao Hu's words and immediately turned back to his original position.

  At this moment, Sun Qifan sneered and asked Zhao Hu: "Boss?"

  Zhao Hu seemed to have no intention of letting Sun Qifan know his true identity, and hastily said: "Don't think too much, I originally had some experience with shipyard work, fortunately, the leader appreciated me and let me take on the important task of supervision. You know that in the troops, sometimes the requirements for this... rank are not so strict."

  "Oh, I see, so you're a level 7 technical expert and your superior is only level 5, you're really lucky."

  "Yeah, I think I'm lucky enough to have met you, a friend who forgets the years. But unfortunately, you don't want to stay with me in the South Sea Fleet."

  Sun Qifan didn't answer again, he just sneered. His attention at this moment was completely attracted by the huge object in front of him.

  In his original idea, China's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier only existed in media news, used to attract attention. Never thought it really existed! What a surprising thing this is, it suddenly gave Sun Qifan a desire to stay, to stay with the South Sea Fleet, and watch the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier launch, that would be a memory worth engraving for a lifetime.

  "Lao Zhao, is this aircraft carrier using electromagnetic catapults for takeoff?" Sun Qifan suddenly turned his head back, asking Zhao Hu excitedly.

  Looking at Sun Qifan's excited appearance, he smiled in his heart. Although it was still impossible to completely determine whether Sun Qifan could stay, at least the idea of leaving had already shaken him.

  But he didn't answer Sun Qifan's question, and just replied: "This is something I can't answer."

  Sun Qifan didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and turned back to continue watching the dragon slowly waking up in front of him. He seemed completely absorbed by the imaginable future, forgetting Zhao Hu's existence, and ran along the passage from the tail of the aircraft carrier towards the bow. He wanted to be the first person to see the whole appearance of this dragon, although after seeing it, he couldn't share his joy with anyone.
