Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 61: A Long Journey

The belated dawn of winter finally illuminated the city. Li Linjie received a call yesterday that he had passed the A-level volunteer recruitment interview as he wished, and he was asked to pack a suitcase of the required size and wait at home before 8 a.m. this morning.

This night was a sleepless night that he spent in excitement, excitement, fear and anxiety, but it was the calmest night since Xiaomeng left. He felt that he had finally found a little light coming out of the endless shadows.

, he was even glad that he filled out the application form in a fit of rage.

When packing his luggage, he calmly put all the photos with Xiaomeng together, put them all into envelopes, and then put them in a box in the locker.

He also took out the group photo in his wallet and replaced it with a family photo of his childhood with his uncle, aunt and sister and a single photo of Xiao Meng.

It’s just that I can’t find the mini photos I took with Xiaomeng on their first anniversary. He spent a lot of time tidying up the messy house to be spotless.

Then I sent a message to the landlady, telling her that my lease would not be renewed after this month's rent, and that I had participated in the volunteer recruitment and was going to another place. The other daily necessities left behind can be disposed of at will, except for the lockers.

The not too big box inside contains important books and documents that he cannot take away this time. He hopes that the landlady can keep them safe for him and pick them up next time he comes back.

Normally, based on his understanding of the landlady's character, he shouldn't have anything nice to say. But this time, the landlady's reply was a bit unexpected.

She said that all his personal belongings that cannot be taken away will be packed up and properly stored for him, so that he can feel at ease.

What he didn't know was that crisis-era laws had temporarily halted house rental transactions. The owner's excess properties, including rental houses, were maintaining the status quo or waiting for government distribution. So the small house he rented was actually

It can no longer be rented to others.

What he didn't expect was that after he was confirmed to have passed the A-level recruitment interview, the government learned from the information Li Linjie filled in that he was renting a house in this city, so it specifically contacted the landlord and asked the landlord to keep it properly.

It is best not to take away personal belongings.

Moreover, the staff who notified the landlord were somewhat emotional and told the landlord that no one could move into the house he rented without further notice.

He called his uncle and aunt and told them about his participation in the volunteer recruitment. His uncle just said "hmm" from beginning to end. His aunt warned him to pay attention to safety. These reactions were all expected by him.

On the contrary, when he called his sister, he originally thought that it would be over with a few simple explanations.

However, my sister seemed to know something about the voluntary recruitment. Especially when she found out that Li Linjie was an A-level volunteer, she was so anxious that she cried. She asked him to find a way not to enter the ranks of the A-level recruitment, so that he could be sure of his further education.

As a result, it took Li Linjie a long time to stabilize his sister's mood and reassure her, because now he was indeed unable to withdraw his application for voluntary recruitment.

What's more, he now looks forward to the difficult and meaningful life that is about to begin.

Looking at the spotless room, and then at the suitcase at the door, he repeatedly thought about whether the items in the suitcase were the optimal arrangement. Then he looked at the time, 7:50, and he felt nervous again.

stand up.

Will the person who picked him up make a mistake or make a mistake? Will there be any changes to his recruitment? Where will he go and what kind of training will he receive?

More than ten years later, what role will he play in the decisive battle that no one can avoid... His thoughts once again entered a kind of chaos and full of expectations.

status.

The long-awaited cell phone finally rang, and he picked up the phone without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hello, is this Li Linjie?" A young man's voice came from the receiver.

"Hello yes."

"I have been ordered to pick you up. Please come to the gate of the community within 10 minutes!"

Before Li Linjie could answer, the other party hung up the phone.

Li Linjie let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that nothing had changed. He dragged his suitcase, took one last look at the small home where he had lived for four years, and closed the door.

When he walked quickly to the gate of the community, a military jeep was already waiting for him. In front of the car, a soldier in camouflage uniform stood in a heroic straddling military posture and was waiting for him.

He thought with secret joy in his heart that this A-level recruitment was really different. They were all military vehicles. He walked forward and the soldier seemed to have recognized him and spoke first:

"Is it Li Linjie?"

Li Linjie nodded and returned:

"Yes."

The soldier said:

"Put your luggage in the back of the car and get in!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for his answer, the soldier turned around and walked towards the cab.

The road was emptier than the previous few days, and military vehicles were speeding on the city roads. After a while, Li Linjie, encouraged by the excitement in his mind, finally plucked up the courage to ask the soldier:

"Then where are we going?"

The soldier said in a sonorous tone:

"I have been ordered to take you to Baiyi Military Airport."

Hearing the words "military airport", Li Linjie's original agitated mood and curiosity became a little more intense. From the test given to him by the air force officer that day and part of the interview, he guessed that he might actually be trained as an airman.

Although he did not have the dream of becoming a pilot, when Fengqing used his strength to fly into the sky, it was also a romantic plot that everyone wanted to have. He asked excitedly:

"Baiyi Airport, isn't that a military base? Where did I receive training?"

The soldier finally glanced sideways at Li Linjie, and his unruffled aura made Li Linjie lean back in his chair involuntarily:

"I don't know. I was just ordered to take you to Baiyi Military Airport. We still have about 40 minutes to drive, so you'd better take the time to rest."

Li Linjie was a little disappointed. It seemed that the soldier didn't want to have too much communication with him. So he just whispered

"oh"

After a sigh, he never took the initiative to talk to the soldiers again.

The military vehicle shuttled smoothly and quickly between cities. When the vehicle passed by a square that he passed by when he went to work every day. In the past, at this time, there were always many elderly people with their children on the public fitness equipment in the square.

Morning exercise, and now there are only rows of empty fitness equipment.

The car drove into the base, and Li Linjie, who entered the military base for the first time, looked around curiously. The scene in the base was in sharp contrast to the deserted outside. Rows of troops were busily passing through inside, and the teams were neatly organized.

The soldiers were either starting, running or lining up.

But in this camouflage green, he was the only one wearing casual clothes. This made him doubt whether this was his destination. The military vehicle showed no signs of slowing down and drove straight to the apron. Finally, when an engine rumbled,

The transport plane stopped beside the loud tailgate.

"Get off the car and get your luggage!"

Under the huge noise of the turboprop engine, the soldier's voice was still clear.

An officer stepped off the plane. He walked up to Li Linjie with a folder in his hand and asked loudly:

"ID number 51050419xxxxxxxxxx Li Linjie, is that you?"

Li Linjie nodded and answered as loudly as possible:

"Yes!"

The officer looked at the contents of the folder in his hand and then at Li Linjie.

He said in the same voice as before:

"Show me your ID!"

He neatly took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to the officer. The officer took it, looked at it, and put the ID card into his breast pocket. It could be seen from the appearance of the pocket that there was already a small pile of things of the same size inside.

.

The officer took something out of his pants pocket and gave it to Li Linjie. He took it and saw that it was a soft rubber bracelet. The bracelet was inlaid with a curved metal piece the size of chewing gum:

"Your identity information is all here, you can't lose it! Do you understand?"

Li Linjie nodded vigorously under the airflow of the propeller. It seemed that his ID card was not returned to him. The officer shouted again:

"board the plane!"

Then he turned around and walked onto the plane, and Li Linjie followed quickly, dragging his suitcase.

A soldier led him to sit on an empty chair next to the cabin and tied his luggage into a pile of colorful suitcases.

Li Linjie looked around. Between the boxes of goods tied up in the middle, the row of seats opposite were all soldiers in military uniforms. They were sitting in uniform with serious expressions.

And there were about a dozen people like him in casual clothes around him.

Li Linjie fiddled with his wristband. The thick black rubber wristband was quite comfortable. The inlaid metal piece had his name and a series of numbers. Sitting next to him was a handsome boy about the same age as him.

He came over, put his mouth to his ear and said loudly:

"Are you also an A-level volunteer?"

Li Linjie nodded:

"Yes, and you?"

The man didn't hear what he said clearly. He pointed to his ear and said:

"The noise is too loud and I can't hear it."

Only then did Li Linjie realize that in the noisy environment of the transport aircraft cabin, normal speech volume could not be heard at all. He also followed the boy's example and leaned close to the other person's ear:

"Well, yes! What about you?"

The man heard what Li Linjie said and came over again:

"Me too! My name is Ke Jiahao. Nice to meet you!"

At the same time, he stretched out a hand. Li Linjie shook hands with him:

"My name is Li Linjie!"

At this moment, the tail hatch of the transport plane began to slowly close. The announcement in the cabin sounded:

"Attention everyone! The plane is about to take off. The flight will take about 4 hours."

Ke Jiahao came over again and said loudly:

"Oh my God, how far will we be transported in four hours!"

Li Linjie wanted to say something. The roar of the engine began to increase, and the plane began to taxi while trembling. They could no longer communicate normally.

They simply sat down and waited for takeoff. The expressions on the faces of all the people on the plane who were still wearing casual clothes were almost the same, full of curiosity, surprise, nervousness and yearning for the unknown.
