[Full-time Chusu] Dreaming of death

. "

"What about other aspects?" Chu Yunxiu hurriedly asked, her heart was clouded by Zhang Xinjie's words, as if she subconsciously believed that Country I was tied to something extremely important to her.

Zhang Xinjie didn't notice her abnormality, "Not much has changed. However, the government of Country Y recently closed the border with Country I, which means that Country I has been completely blocked by the international community."

Total blockade, total blockade... Chu Yunxiu chewed these words in her heart in confusion. The new task came too fast, as if she had missed something, but the situation was urgent and she didn't allow her to think too much, "How should I go to T? city?"

"Bypass country S," Zhang Xinjie said. "It's easier to get a visa for country U from there. If you confirm that there is no problem, I will help you book a ticket now."

"Okay," Chu Yunxiu nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhang Xinjie shook his head and turned to leave. Chu Yunxiu stood alone at the door of the room in a daze, and was enlightened to realize what was the matter that she had ignored earlier—where is Su Mucheng?

Thinking of this, she immediately followed the route that Zhang Xinjie left. When she passed the small living room, she found that Han Wenqing was sitting on the sofa and watching TV expressionlessly. In the corner of the screen is marked the words of city B in country I.Although the image data is blurred, the former prosperity of the ruins can still be recognized.Chu Yunxiu stepped lightly, walked to the edge of the sofa and said, "Ambassador Han."

"Well," Han Wenqing turned his gaze from the TV screen to her, "Is there something wrong?"

"Uh, um, it's like this," she said a little embarrassed, after all, the ambassador in front of her had expressed disapproval of her actions, but at this time there is no better way than to ask him, "The woman who came back with me The reporter—Su Mucheng—do you know where she is now?"

Han Wenqing didn't answer right away, Chu Yunxiu suddenly felt a strange pressure appear out of thin air, strangling her out of breath.He looked at her a little unpredictablely, and then said simply: "I don't know."

This answer instantly made Chu Yunxiu extremely panicked, "Isn't she in the embassy?"

"No." Han Wenqing withdrew his attention and continued to watch the war report on Country Y's TV station. "Miss Su left the embassy two days ago. She is not a citizen of Country C. I have no right to interfere with her personal freedom."

Two days ago——Chu Yunxiu stared wide-eyed, "How come?——What time is it today?"

"Today is January 1," Han Wenqing replied calmly, "You have slept for nearly four days."

So much can happen in four days.Chu Yunxiu suddenly understood why a person like Zhang Xinjie who was so polite that he wanted to refuse people for thousands of miles would take the initiative to find her in the room. It seemed that the order to go to T city was no longer news.However, at this moment, the worry about delaying work progress is nothing compared to the worry about Su Mucheng, "Did she leave a message? Or where did she go?"

Han Wenqing, who was concentrating on watching TV, threw out a few words indifferently: "No, I don't know."

His answer confirmed some guesses in Chu Yunxiu's heart that she didn't want to touch.But even so, she still holds an absolutely optimistic attitude - Zhang Xinjie said that country I has been completely blocked, and although other neighboring countries have also been affected by the flames of war, they are not that serious.Maybe Su Mucheng just got the news and went to other places for interviews, and it is very likely that they will meet again in T City in a few days.Chu Yunxiu forcibly suppressed all the uneasiness and heaviness in her chest and thanked Han Wenqing, but the latter didn't answer, just nodded as a response.

On January 1th, Chu Yunxiu, who had completed the relevant procedures, arrived in City N, the capital of Country S, by plane from City A. The foreign affairs and news departments of N City expressed great kindness after learning of her intentions. She managed to stand on the ground of T city in just one day.City T at the end of January was unusually cold, full of tension like City B before the war. The chemical weapons of country I have been exposed, and people on the street have a set of gas masks.Chu Yunxiu followed the local reporters to visit several temporary refugee camps around T City—most of the residents were refugees who fled from country I.Shortly afterwards, U country officials invited foreign journalists to cover the drills of their country’s armored forces. Chu Yunxiu stood at the front of the crowd and desperately pressed the shutter with his camera in his hand. For some reason, he suddenly remembered that a similar situation had happened a month ago in the Ca square in the center of city B. .

A few days later, the Revolution Day of Country I coincided with the religious Sabbath of Country U. Journalists from various countries gathered in the center of City T were mostly keenly aware of the situation, and concluded that this day was quite special. I will not let go of such a good opportunity. After all, neither of the legendary Scuds and Patriots has made an appearance since the war has been going on for so long.At midnight, the balcony of the hotel room was full of reporters who were not afraid of death. Chu Yunxiu was originally one of them, but the sudden strong dizziness forced her to give up this dangerous thought.The next day, I heard that Country I launched a Scud towards Country U the night before, and Country U intercepted it and fought back, successfully hitting the intended target.

On February 2th, the ground war broke out, and President Bush of country A made a public speech, claiming that he would never tie the hands and feet of the generals, and would fight until the oppressors collapsed and a legal regime was established.At that time, Chu Yunxiu, who had already left City T and returned to City N, took a sneer at him and walked alone to City K, the capital of Country E, to return to City A with Wang Jiexi and others to wait. On March 24, the ceasefire war of all parties involved in the war came to an end, and the relevant sanctions imposed on country I by the international community were also lifted.There was a call from China to order to resume work in the relevant areas as soon as possible, and Chu Yunxiu also received an order to return to City B to follow up and report on the post-war situation.Since country I has not yet lifted the entry restrictions, Wang Jiexi decided to wait for the situation to become clearer before leaving. Chu Yunxiu had no objection to this and waited together in City A. During this period, she inquired about Su Mucheng through various contacts, but nothing.

On March 3, the left-behind personnel of the embassy and Chu Yunxiu returned to City B by highway. The once only lifeline showed no sign of life, and many checkpoints that existed along the road disappeared without a trace.Liu Xiaobie and Gao Yingjie drove the car very fast, and it was still quite bright when they arrived at the embassy in City B.They just opened the door with their front feet, and then a young man with a slightly embarrassed expression and a cigarette in his mouth came to consult the policy.Gao Yingjie didn't have time to discuss with him whether it was proper etiquette to enter the embassy with a cigarette in his hand, so he frantically flipped through the form for visitor registration.Chu Yunxiu stood aside and watched with great interest, but when he heard the name given by the man, his face changed, "Your name is Ye Xiu?"

"Yes." The man asked suspiciously: "You know me? I don't know you."

"I don't know." She shook her head, and then explained: "I know Su Mucheng. She mentioned your name and said that she has been looking for you, but she doesn't have your contact information."

"Oh," Ye Xiu said with a clear face, "Mucheng's friend, how is that girl doing?"

"I don't know." As Chu Yunxiu said this, she suddenly felt a certain kind of unusual peace in her heart, "I haven't seen her for a long time, but the last time I saw her was pretty good."

"That's fine," Ye Xiu nodded, with an obvious evasive gesture, "Well, it's fine--ah, what, I've gone to ask someone about it, you guys are busy."

"Okay," she smiled at him, "goodbye."

After Ye Xiu left, the hall returned to silence again.The damage to the government-related building with the national flag painted on the roof is not serious, just a little cleaning is enough, but the food stored in the refrigerator has rotted into a pile because of the power outage. After laughing enough, I felt a little sorry, and ran to apply for funds with Wang Jiexi to go shopping—of course I didn’t forget to bring my camera—after the bombardment, there was no such thing as a restricted area, and the whole city was no different from the situation before the war. Probably only black market transactions, but the economy of country I is paralyzed, the currency exchange rate is ridiculously low, and a expensive camera may not even be exchanged for a bag of flour.

After shopping for groceries, Chu Yunxiu walked along the road to the street where she and Su Mucheng used to live based on her memory. On the way, she met many children who were picking up household debris from the ruins to use as firewood. They stared at her with beautiful eyes. There were incomprehensible fears and more things she couldn't distinguish or even look at.She walked quickly across the corner of the street, leaving the group of children behind. The small gray building in her memory was at the end of the street, maybe Su Mucheng was also in front—but when she turned her gaze, she saw only a whole block of ruins , broken bricks and rubble piled on the ground, each piece seemed to be the same gray.For a split second, it seemed that something wanted to break through the barrier of her reason and break out of her body. Chu Yunxiu stood there for a long time with her throat blocked, and finally gave up her plan to move forward, and walked back slowly along the way she came.She felt in a daze that she wasn't thinking about anything, but she seemed to have thought about all kinds of things. Things that she thought were far away in the sky were now close at hand.The internal organs were twisted together as if she was about to vomit blood, but her stomach was empty, so she could only vomit blood.

On the morning of May 5th, Chu Yunxiu's plane landed at the Capital Airport. The owner of the photography department came to greet her with his younger brother. He rushed up and hugged her and began to cry, while crying, he blamed the dead girl for being so haggard.Chu Yunxiu embraced her and said with a smile that there was no other way. The latter wiped away tears and announced on the spot that she would be given a month's vacation to recuperate—but Chu Yunxiu was sent to the hospital within a week.
