32 days

Yi Alan tried to sum up more things about Joker from his brief communication with Joker, so as to judge whether he could get help from Joker, but he was only disappointed.

Joker is like an electronic god hiding behind the screen, without the highlights of humanity and without the weaknesses of humanity.He is only willing to do what he wants to do - build a 32-day community and protect the information privacy of every user in the community.He does not allow anyone to attack the server of the 32nd community to steal user information, but he will not withdraw or hide or warn those posts that actively expose information.He is indifferent to reality and everything that happens in the 32nd community.

Yi Alan has seen drug trafficking, nurturing, trading and other strange behaviors in the community. Joker defaults that all content, even if it is morally corrupt, can be discussed at will, with no taboos.

Yi Alan suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, he jumped up from the sofa, and turned his head to talk to Zhou Yan'an.

Then he realized that Zhou Yan'an was not here.Zhou Yan'an has to receive more professional training than Yi Alan, because the Swift 10 has crashed, and the R&D center does not have the Swift 10 fighter, Zhou Yan'an has to get familiar with other fighters or helicopters that are more suitable for flying.In addition, after confirming that Mr. Liu Jinyue will carry out the rescue operation on the 32nd, Zhou Yan'an has to learn how to operate an old-fashioned helicopter.

Liu Jinyue has been retired for a long time, and the helicopter he is most familiar with is already an old model many years ago. It is obviously too inhumane for an octogenarian to learn a new type of fighter.After discussion and research, on the 32nd, Liu Jinyue will drive a helicopter that is about to retire in a small air force base in his city to carry out mountain rescue.

Considering Liu Jinyue's physical condition, after he successfully received Zhou Yan'an and Yi Alan, Zhou Yan'an will take over the armed old-fashioned helicopter, and at the same time deal with the possible attacks from mysterious spies near the R&D center.

Therefore, in the past few days, Zhou Yan'an has been working day and night at the flight base to learn various driving skills that may not be needed, but once they can be used, they can save lives.

Yi Alan applied to Luo Caiyun to go to Cheng Sisi's house to have a face-to-face communication with Cheng Sisi. Luo Caiyun didn't ask the reason, and soon arranged for someone to send Yi Alan to Zheng Duona, and Zheng Duo arranged for Yi Alan and Cheng Sisi to contact each other.

Cheng Sisi's parents had already written their uneasiness on their faces. They were used to all kinds of censorship, but they couldn't think of anything worth secretly communicating with a seven-year-old girl several times.

Under the anxious eyes of the parents, Yi Alan chatted with Cheng Sisi in the room all morning, and then left in embarrassment, telling Zheng Duo that he had obtained the information he wanted.

There is a bug in Cheng Sisi's room, and Zheng Duo actually knows what Yi Alan and Cheng Sisi talked about, which is also the question that Zheng Duo asked Cheng Sisi many times, that is, what does the man who is guarding her look like, what are his obvious features, and what is in his words? Is there any information exposed and so on.The little girl's reply was always the same.

Zheng Duo said to invite him to lunch and then arrange to send him back. The place to eat is in the safe house in the building opposite Cheng Sisi's house.

Yi Alan had nothing to do and agreed.

The lunch was made by an agent of the safe house who was in charge of monitoring the movement around Cheng Sisi's house in turn, and it tasted pretty good.

Yi Alan couldn't help admiring: "You guys are all very good at cooking in this line of work."

Zheng Duo said, "You mean Zhou Yan'an?"

Yi Alan smiled and nodded.

Zheng Duo said: "I hope he doesn't have to study cooking."

His voice was low, which made Yi Alan feel that he seemed to want to say something, and the food he chewed suddenly became tasteless.

Zheng Duo asked: "How is Zhou Yan'an recently?"

Yi Alan said: "I haven't seen him for many days."

Zheng Duo was silent.After a while, he said slowly: "I think he may not be well."

Yi Alan looked around, there were only the two of them here.

"Maybe it was unnecessary for me." Zheng Duo said, "It's like when I applied for retirement for him. But I still want to talk to you about Zhou Yan'an."

Yi Alan looked up at him.

"Zhou Yanan was an orphan. When he was nine years old, his family took a vacation on a certain tropical island. It was really a resort. At that time of the year, tourists from all over the world gathered, and his parents lived in a high-end local The hotel is full of elites from all walks of life in developed countries. If terrorists want to create social chaos and attack the governments of various countries, what could be more suitable than there.

"At that time, the international police and the anti-terrorism agencies of various countries were one step behind the terrorists/criminals. Just one step, there was a disaster. The hotel where thousands of people lived was engulfed in explosions and flames. Zhou Yanan, who was only nine years old, So he escaped because he sneaked into the outdoor swimming pool after his parents' nap. Even so, the heat wave and shock wave quickly evaporated the water in the pool and knocked him into a coma. When he woke up, he was hugging He was declared an orphan in the sad eyes of his SWAT.

"The government took him back and gave him psychological treatment. The psychologists at the time said that Zhou Yan'an's mind was very strong. Although he cried bitterly for the death of his parents, his mental state was generally considered healthy. So after evaluation, He was adopted by his father's relatives.

"And then, he was admitted to the military academy. He attracted the attention of the leaders with his outstanding performance in the school. After many assessments, he was absorbed into the Army Special Operations Forces and began to perform some very difficult tasks. He completed it very well. , is a very outstanding special soldier, not only because of his outstanding ability, but also because of his unique characteristics. He can always calm the mood of victims and make people feel at ease in panic. He feels very Warm and positive, not like someone with a traumatic childhood. I'm sure you know that. Until..."

Zheng Duo paused for a moment: "Zhou Yan'an has a scar on his left wrist, have you noticed it?"

Yi Alan nodded.He noticed it a long time ago, but he never asked Zhou Yanan, and Zhou Yanan obviously didn't want to mention that scar.

Zheng Duo asked him, "Do you know what caused that?"

"Is it the knife wound from the fight? Or the aftermath of the explosion when I was a child?"

"None." Zheng Duo said, "It's a bone cut, bone fragments splashed out from an explosion."

"That was a mission five years ago." Zheng Duo's eyes had swirls of confusion and pain, as if even his soul was about to be dragged into an embarrassing cave in his memory.

"At that time, the country cooperated with many countries because of its economic development. Some of them were not stable/stable, with many internal conflicts and external wolves. One of them, because of its special geographical conditions, was due to the dual geopolitical and economic factors. We have overcome all difficulties and started good cooperation with their legitimate governments. We provide them with funds, technology, and talents, and help build roads, circuits, and factories, so that their resources can be realized quickly and efficiently, and our resource imports can also be more efficient. Diversified and safer. Their governments can finally arm the army and suppress internal reactionary forces with the funds they have realized. The society has gradually stabilized, jobs have increased, and people’s living standards have improved. But these are certainly not what some countries are willing to see They hope that this place is chaotic, backward, and poor, so that they can gain benefits and achieve some political demands.

"In order to achieve this goal, the governments of certain countries secretly funded the weakened reactionary forces and launched a notorious terrorist operation."

Yi Alan was shocked, he had an impression.Five years ago, the news was full of reports of that event, criticizing it as cruel, bloody, and inhumane.But he didn't expect that the incident was related to Zhou Yan'an.

"Those reactionary forces launched suicide attacks and kidnapped many local engineers, workers and their families in our country. The special operations force that Zhou Yanan and I belonged to was ordered to go to the rescue because it was close to the country. The rescue operation cannot be said to be simple. It took a few good comrades to save the grown-ups from the secret building of the terrorists. Yes, only the grown-ups, grown-ups. Their children are all gone."

Because Yi Alan knew the final direction of the matter, she couldn't bear to listen any longer.

"Just as we were desperately searching for the children and were about to evacuate the adults first, a truck driven by a terrorist appeared in front of us. There were a load of children on the truck. Those unworldly, frightened children They were let down, cheering and running towards us, towards their favorite parents. Their parents screamed and jumped behind us, trying to run over to hug their children, but we firmly stopped them.

"Those children were strapped with bombs, the timer was counting down, only 30 seconds away, and they were less than 200 meters away from us. We shouted desperately to tell the children to stop, but how could they understand? They only knew, People wearing clothes like ours are the heroes on TV. They can no longer be afraid, and can run into the arms of their parents. We tell adults to back off, but their children are running ahead. How could they lose No matter what.

"At that moment, we were faced with a huge problem, and we needed to make a decision within 30 seconds. But we didn't dare. With only five seconds left, Zhou Yan'an shot and machine-gunned those innocent people. children—children as old as he was. They fell very close to their parents, deer-like eyes full of confusion and pain. Then, the explosion destroyed all that. At that time, our distance It's so close that a piece of broken bone could cut Zhou Yan'an's hand holding the gun. If it gets closer, even for a second, we, and the crying adults behind us, will be like children Shattered to pieces by the explosion.

"This is the horror of terrorists. They have no humanity, but they take pleasure in torturing the weakness of humanity. They even broadcast this scene live to the world, triumphantly announcing their victory, and using it to inspire lurking all over the world terrorist.

"No one condemns Zhou Yan'an, because we all know that it is not his fault. The public condemns the terrorists, condemns that country for not doing a good job in counter-terrorism, and blames the traitors in the government of that country for the terrorists to succeed. Engineers and workers Distraught, he vowed that he would never set foot in the land there again, and others refused to go there to help. The relationship between the two countries had to be deadlocked because of this matter, and that country returned to chaos. And those There is no substantive evidence for the leading country behind it. Although we all know that the country is in chaos, who benefits the most. Politics is the greatest terrorism.

"Since then, Zhou Yan'an has suffered from symptoms of serious mental illness, insomnia, trance, auditory hallucinations, etc., and he can't even talk face-to-face with a child. He has seen many crimes, never complains, and takes driving away the darkness as his mission. But after all, I was defeated by this false and disgusting reality. Only then did I know that he was not without shadows due to childhood trauma, but the shadows positively shaped him, making him brave, kind, fraternal, and want to save the world Disasters were happening all the time. But those 30 seconds, the turmoil in his heart and the 30 seconds he had to make choices made his ideals vulnerable. He found that he was powerless to face the evils of this world. How powerful he was, How pure the soul is, how fragile it is after the ideal is shattered."

Yi Alan blinked in a daze, wanted to say something but couldn't speak, her vision became blurred.

He couldn't imagine how much torture Zhou Yan'an was enduring.Perhaps it is only this kind of endless torture that makes such a sober and resolute person suspect that it is just a fantasy after the first 32 days of experience.The limit that a person can bear the pain is not daring to believe in himself anymore.

"I sent a report to Zhou Yan'an to apply for retirement," Zheng Duo said. "At that time, Zhou Yan'an was against it. He said he could adjust well. I also believe that he can adjust well, and losing such an excellent soldier is a big deal. It's a pity. I just, just don't want him to struggle with mental illness. He should go back to the bustling city, look at those busy but happy people, look at those regular and peaceful lives, let him I believe that there are still areas in this world that are beautiful. In other places, he does not need to fight alone. Go to rest when you are tired. There are so many good sons and daughters in our country, and they are also shedding blood for a common ideal. Fighting and leaning on each other, being each other's back. He's protecting others, and there are people who can protect him.

"At that time, I never imagined that there would be a day when he would really have to fight alone."
