In the north in early spring, the weather is still a little cool. The bright moonlight was like a transparent veil, gently spreading on the ground. The night was as quiet as water, only the gentle breeze caressed it.

A shabby round table, a few plates of side dishes, and a bottle of Erguotou that had been almost drunk, dozens of cigarette butts, and a few gnawed bones scattered on the ground.

Li Ming sat at the table decadently and inhaled the cigarette in his hand fiercely.

He threw the cigarette on the ground, stepped on it again, and twisted it vigorously a few times. Picked up the little remaining bottle of Erguotou and poured it directly into his mouth, the spicy wine was like white water in Li Ming's mouth, and there was no taste left.

He stood up and pushed the door out of the house, and came to the factory outside, where even late at night was filled with the roar of machines, and workers in three shifts were busy all night, but now there is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past.

In the past year, Li Ming has lived and eaten in the factory, getting up early and being on the front line of the workshop, but he didn't expect his factory to fall to today's field, which makes him feel like he is in despair.

Li Ming was an orphan who joined the army at the age of 17, and as soon as the recruit company ended, he was selected into the regimental special service company because of his excellent military qualities, and won the first place in three individual items in the scout competition of the group army that year.

He was also selected to join the special operations brigade of the group army, and in less than a year he became the top training officer of the special operations brigade, and later joined the special operations brigade of the military region, where he won many awards in the special forces competition of the whole army.

Li Ming's excellent performance also attracted the attention of the military, and he was selected to a special unit directly under the General Staff for training, and was later sent to Africa, South America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other countries to carry out special missions more than ten times, a total of three years and 21 days.

When he was on a mission abroad, he was injured many times and made meritorious contributions more than ten times, and later due to an accident, Li Ming also retired and returned to the local area after demobilization.

Li Ming, who returned to his hometown, gave up the job arranged by the state, and a comrade-in-arms in Kyoto, used all his savings, and borrowed some money from several comrades-in-arms to open a small joint venture machinery processing factory in the suburbs of Beijing.

Li Ming's comrades-in-arms have a relationship with a large state-owned enterprise in Kyoto, and the small machinery factory they opened specializes in contracting some standard components for external processing of that large state-owned enterprise.

Because of this relationship, the factory can receive a large number of orders, the business is naturally very prosperous, the order can not be done at all, in order to complete the order, Li Ming hired a large number of workers with high salaries, three shifts of continuous rotation, even so, the factory's production capacity is still unable to receive more orders.

To this end, they also took out a loan from the bank, expanded the plant, and added a lot of equipment, which solved the bottleneck of production capacity, and the machinery processing plant was also on the right track, relying on the orders of the state-owned enterprise alone to maintain the full operation of the factory.

Two months ago, that comrade-in-arms suddenly found Li Ming and said that he was going abroad and was ready to withdraw his shares and settle Li Ming completely.

Li Ming didn't care, so he took most of the cash in the factory's account during this period to his comrades-in-arms, because the bank loan still has two years to mature, and with the current momentum of their factory, the loan can be easily repaid in less than a year.

But just last week, the order of the state-owned enterprise was suddenly broken, and Li Ming was a little confused.

He hurriedly went to the state-owned enterprise to inquire and found out that the top management of the state-owned enterprise had recently changed, and their previous relationships had all changed positions, and the instantaneous change was like a thunderbolt from the sky, knocking Li Ming into the abyss.

Only then did Li Ming know that he had been deceived by his comrades-in-arms, and the other party clearly knew that this qiē accident was coming, so he had already prepared for it, and pushed Li Ming to the edge of the cliff.

may have been a game between his comrade-in-arms and others from the beginning, which is why such a big pie would fall on Li Ming's head.

Now Li Mingkong is guarding a factory, with a large number of raw materials, and in more than a year, he has to pay off a lot of bank loans, and the monthly wages and various expenses of workers are also a lot of expenses, and the funds on the factory's books may not last even a month.

The business of the factory used to be run by his comrades-in-arms, Li Ming devoted himself to the workshop, small processing factories like theirs, it can be said that they are everywhere, and the reason why their factories are doing so well is because of the orders of large state-owned enterprises.

Li Ming has broken his leg and worn out his mouth these days, and he has only pulled a few small jobs, and the profit is not enough for half a month's expenses of the factory.

Now the money from the sale of the factory can't even pay back half of the bank loan, but he was pitted by that comrade-in-arms, and now people are taking the money and are wandering abroad, leaving such a big mess for Li Ming to clean up.

"Dut...... Toot ......"

The ringing of the mobile phone in his pocket interrupted the chaotic thoughts in Li Ming's heart, and he took out the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and the number was very strange.

Li Ming answered the phone casually, and the voice on the other side of the phone came that he didn't want to hear.

"Mingzi, I heard about the factory, I didn't expect it to be like this, I'm in Canada now, I can't go back for a while, you hold on for a while, I want to help you find some more relationships......"

Hearing this, Li Ming immediately felt a surge of anger, interrupted him without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, and replied calmly: "No need, I can handle it myself." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone casually, and the other party was still thinking that he was a fool, which made him angry.

With a "snap", Li Ming slammed the phone on the ground, picked up an iron rod next to him, and slammed it frantically against the machine in the workshop.

"Ah...... Ah......h

Li Ming roared loudly while smashing, venting his anger for many days.

He smashed it for a long time, and he was tired of smashing, so he slammed the iron rod in his hand on the ground, sat on a pile of raw materials next to him, took out a cigarette, lit it quietly, and sucked it hard.

After catharsis, Li Ming gradually calmed down, the most important thing now is to find a way to get through this difficult situation in front of him, if he can't repay the loan, then his life will be over, he is only twenty-eight years old, and he doesn't want to be ruined like this.

Suddenly, he noticed a light spot flickering on the wall at the end of the workshop, which was particularly bright in this dimly lit factory.

Li Ming thought that his eyes were spent, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but that glimmer of light still existed, Li Ming stood up and walked over slowly, many years of military career, let Li Ming learn how to deal with various emergencies.

He came to the end of the workshop, and stopped three or four meters away from the point of light, the point of light seemed to appear here out of thin air, and Li Ming could even see a trace of ripples in the space around the point of light.

Li Ming had seen blood when he was on a mission abroad, and he had seen no matter how dangerous the scene was, but at this moment, it still made a monstrous wave in his heart, such a mysterious thing may only appear in novels.

He walked over slowly, raised his hand and gently touched the point of light, and as Li Ming's fingers touched the point of light, the point of light slowly expanded, and finally turned into an oval gate of light that was two meters high and more than one meter wide.

Li Ming immediately withdrew his fingers, and the hole was restored to its original state, turning into a point of light the size of a soybean.

The sudden scene made Li Ming at a loss, he knew that he might have encountered an adventure, but whether this adventure was good or bad, there was no way to know, where was the other side of the light gate, Li Ming couldn't judge.

He knew that the most important thing now was to be calm, and he must not rush into the Light Gate, who knows what the other side of the Light Gate is, maybe it is Shura Hell.

Li Ming turned around and walked to the side, found a random place to sit down, and an even more incredible scene appeared, that point of light actually followed him all the time, hovering in the air about half a meter away from him.

He immediately smiled bitterly, why are you still relying on me. He grabbed the point of light in his hand and pulled it over, opening his palm to find that the point of light was obediently staying in his hand and not moving.

Li Ming stood up and walked around the workshop a few times, the point of light still stayed quietly in his hand, and it was no problem to even put it in the pocket of his clothes, Li Ming simply put the point of light in his pocket and ignored it.

took out a cigarette and lit it, sat there and smoked quietly, he smoked a few cigarettes in a row, and finally made up his mind, or decided to go to the side of the light gate to take a look, anyway, he has now reached the point of exhaustion, what else is there to fear.

Maybe on the other side of the light gate, there will be an adventure.

Thinking of this, Li Ming returned to his room, pulled out a wooden box from under the dilapidated iron bed, and took out a travel bag from it, which contained a set of clothes given to him by a French mercenary when he was on a mission abroad, which is said to be a very famous outdoor brand abroad.

It really deserves to be a brand-name product, Li Ming has worn it for a few years, except for a little old, there is no damage at all in other places, although it is very old, but he is still not willing to throw it away, of course, there is some nostalgia for the past.

The outfit was head-to-toe, including gloves, underwear and outerwear, a pair of high-waisted outdoor sneakers, and a small backpack, which he wore during his missions abroad because he could not reveal his identity.

He took out a cloth bag at the bottom of the wooden box, which contained a customized military vest, which was equipped with a lighter, a sundries bag, an LED flashlight, a Swiss army knife, a small telescope, a set of first-aid kits and other wilderness survival supplies, and a sheathed **.

After putting on the vest, Li Ming took out a pair of customized dog legs abroad in the wooden box, inserted them into the leather scabbard on the side of the backpack behind him, took two bottles of mineral water, a few packets of instant noodles, and a few bags of mustard, all of which were packed into backpacks.

Finally, he took out a pair of low-light night vision devices seized abroad, put them on his head and walked out of the room, and came to the workshop outside, Li Ming took out the light point, and gently pressed it on the light spot with his finger, and the light point slowly expanded again, turning into an oval light gate.

Li Ming closed his eyes and stayed quietly for a while, then took a deep breath and walked into the light gate............
