His movements were very slight, but Zhou Rong still noticed, slightly stirring: “Hmm?” Si Nan stopped. ”…What time is it?” Zhou Rong asked drowsily: “Where are you going?” Si Nan softly said: “Nine o’clock. Going to find Ning Yu.” Zhou Rong mumbled in response, and Si Nan, like a gray shadow in the darkness, slipped out the door, instantly melting into the vast night. Moments later, Zhou Rong suddenly awoke, shirtless and bolting upright, checking the alarm clock. ”Si Nan?” He jumped out of bed, rushed out and opened the door: “Si Nan?!” The airport was brightly lit. The news had arrived that the elite reconnaissance battalion from the Inner Mongolia base had found nothing in the canyon, and the last batch of search and rescue personnel were about to be positioned, with supplies already transported to the airport. Vehicles shuttled back and forth at the airport, moving guns, ammunition, survival supplies, and parachute packs to the tarmac. Si Nan approached the fence outside the tarmac, and the sentry immediately spotted him, shouting loudly: “Stop! No entry to this military restricted area!” Si Nan glanced at him and turned to walk over. ”Go back! Hey, what are you doing… cough cough…” Si Nan swiftly grabbed the soldier’s neck, instantly knocking him unconscious and dragging him into the grass.
A few minutes later, he emerged from the grass, wearing the sentry’s coat, with a camouflage cap covering the upper half of his face, walking onto the tarmac.
“Final ammunition check, prepare for boxing!” A second lieutenant with a megaphone walked around, casually directing: “Hey, you there! Move those tactical packs!”
Si Nan stood at attention and saluted silently, shouldering a thirty-kilogram standard tactical backpack from the pile, and casually picking up a box of ammunition, passing through several soldiers busy packing, heading towards the cabin.
The second lieutenant didn’t pay attention, turning away, then suddenly turned back thoughtfully: “Wait…”
Si Nan walked towards the ladder against the wind. The second lieutenant studied the lean, taut back, hesitantly taking a few steps forward: “Hey! I told you to wait!”
Si Nan shrugged and lowered his head, quickly running to switch out a box of bullets that had been counted and sealed, then ran past the second lieutenant without daring to lift his head, staggering up the aircraft’s metal ladder.
“Rookie!” the second lieutenant said helplessly and angrily.
