In short, now that the overall situation of the Southern Theater has been decided, it seems to be a logical thing to temporarily withdraw from the theater and return to Moscow.

However, at this moment, sitting in the first-class carriage of the passenger train heading smoothly westward, Long Yun, who was dressed in elegant autumn clothes, closed his eyes slightly on the seat, and closed his eyes to recuperate, he felt that there was another reason for leaving the front line, that is, chronic fatigue caused by long-term combat.

If you think about it, since he crossed over to the parallel world, he has been fighting at the Bugas Air Base for no less than ten consecutive days, and before that, in addition to testing, it was an air battle, and it was normal to fly two or three times a day; And it didn't stop there, unlike any previous crossing, before this crossing, he had been continuing to attack at the Fort Scharqat base, sacrificing his life against powerful enemies in the bloody skies of the Middle East.

Flying a fighter plane, even if it is just a smooth flight, is not easy at all, let alone risking his life to take off into the air to fight, even with his Long Yun, or Victor's abundant physical strength, it will be a little unbearable, not to mention the long-term mental tension, it is not easy to recover from sleeping with his head covered for a sleep or two.

Well, in this way, now that I have been called by Moscow, I can leave the front line to rest for a while, and by the way, I can do my own business, and in addition, I can go to the KGB headquarters to ask about the "dead city".

Closed his eyes and thought for a moment, feeling the rhythmic gentle bump of the train, Long Yun, who was not sleepy in the daytime, stretched his waist on the seat and moved his joints a few times, he squinted his eyes and looked at the autumn colors of the Bulgarian countryside outside the window, and then adjusted his sitting posture and smiled at the beautiful woman opposite the seat:

"Lena. This trip. It's also going to take you a lot of work along the way. ”

"Where's that? Mr. Arthur~"

The young woman who was called "Lina" by Long Yun was sitting upright in the soft and comfortable first-class seat at this time, with a delicate face set off by a light-colored women's formal suit, and a hint of playful smile in her gray-black eyes; Seeing the ace major general on the opposite side - oh no, the ace lieutenant general finished his nap, Valentina Kurtonova closed the pamphlet in her hand, put it back in the bag on the coat hook, and then cast her eyes on the man's face again. A charming smile with a slight dimple appears:

"Actually, I've been in the company for a long time, and I feel very bored, so wouldn't it be nice to come out for a walk."

"Ah, is that so, hehe."

In the same way that Long Yun called himself just now, hearing Valentina call herself "Mr. Arthur", Long Yun remembered the trip to Moscow a few months ago, and met Valentina after registering in Stuttgart, this girl called herself like this; In the blink of an eye. A few months have passed, and the parallel world has changed dramatically. Viktor Rezenov's life has also extended a long way, but he is a little unclear and completely unpredictable about what will happen next.

Valentina, who was sitting across from Long Yun, had come to Bugas from Stavropol yesterday afternoon to take charge of the safety of Viktor's journey back to Moscow.

As a KGB agent who has been working beside VVS's number one ace for many years and providing 24-hour personal guards, his superiors have great trust in this shrewd and capable intelligence officer, and he has also received a high business evaluation from Victor, so he instructed Valentina to take charge of this work; Of course, in addition, the KGB has probably overinterpreted the ** relationship between this beauty agent and the number one ace, and whether there is a little bit of an element of taking care of Victor's "personal life" in this arrangement, that is, there is no way to know.

After receiving such an arrangement, Valentina still had a faint personal feeling, but of course she would not let her feelings affect her work, so she took care of her and Victor's things and hurried over.

However, just yesterday evening, after meeting at the Bugas Air Base, the two took advantage of an exchange between dinner to explain the misunderstanding, and Long Yun said directly, "Didn't you go to Moscow together, wouldn't it be clear if we had met?" Let the woman with implicit jealousy dissipate her suspicions at once.

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, thinking that she had had a relationship with her before and was angry with this aviation lieutenant general, Valentina was a little embarrassed, and now she is also very close to Long Yun:

"So, Mr. Arthur, shall we get on the plane as soon as we get off the bus?"

"Well, no, there was a bit of an arrangement."

Hearing Valentina's question, Long Yun subconsciously glanced around; In fact, when he got on the train, he had already scanned the passengers in the whole carriage, and found no Western agents, but found two KGB agents, who were security personnel sent to the train by local intelligence organizations.

It is clear that even after disguise, the organization still attaches great importance to the arrangement of Viktor Rezenov.

Since there are no suspicious characters, there is no need to deliberately avoid chatting about the world, Long Yun's upper body leaned forward slightly, looking at Valentina's deep eyes:

"Our plane took off in the afternoon; Before that, I would like to go to the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College to see my comrades-in-arms who I used to work with. ”

"Oh, is it? ――I thought about it, was it the time I came to Bulgaria before? ”

"Well, sort of; Actually, I was attacking from the Kherson base in Ukraine, the battle that beat the 'Lancer' bombers. ”

Seeing that the detective in front of him raised his eyebrows slightly and looked very interested, Long Yun simply sorted out his memories and told the air pursuit battle at that time like a story, of course, omitting a few clips related to superpowers; After telling the whole battle, he told Sù Valentina to break away from the cover of the two planes at that time, and the subsequent rescue operation in the strait, until he returned to the Kherson base:

“…… Later, hey, Lieutenant Colonel Dzerzhinsky's daughter talked to me, wanting to join the Air Force and avenge her father, but fortunately, I was persuaded to go back. ”

"'Revenge'...... This is a normal thought, how did you persuade people to change their minds? ”

"Hehe, it's a long story, I'll give you a rough retelling......"

After the train stopped at the Sofia Central Railway Station, Long Yun took Valentina on a special car sent by the KGB to a suburban hospital to visit Lieutenant Colonel Boris Dzerzhinsky, who was undergoing rehabilitation in the inpatient nursing department.

In the sunny suburban hospital, the two pilots who had known each other for a short time, but they were born and died together and made great achievements at first sight, but due to time constraints, the two did not talk for too long. Before saying goodbye, Long Yun asked Valentina to find a medal of the Red Star that he had been awarded to Dzerzhinsky, and also found the person in charge to ask the lieutenant colonel about his recuperation, and agreed to go to Sochi on the Black Sea coast when he had time.

After a hurried trip to the hospital, driving through the city all the way east to Sofia International Airport, Long Yun had no time to wander around this cultural city with a long history and famous buildings, and he could only look through the window glass and get an overview of the city's wandering streets.

While walking through the city to see the scenery, Long Yun also thought of something funny, his "mother-in-law-to-be" Sophia Kochakina, who lives in the capital, also has the same name as the city.

Sitting in the car, he chatted with Valentina about it, and the latter also found it funny:

"Ah, it really is; But why does the capital of a country have such a feminine name? A lot of girls use it. ”

"Well, the ancient name of the city of 'Sophia' was 'Serdica', and it was renamed in the 14th century because of the construction of the Hagia Sophia. Oh, not the one in Constantinople, in fact many churches are called 'Sophia Cathedral', and there is a church in Harbin, China, which also bears this name.

As for the word 'Sophia', which means 'wisdom' in Greek, it's a good girl's name, but I think it's good as the name of a city. ”

As they spoke, the car drove into Sofia International Airport, and Long Yun and Valentina, dressed as a young couple, mingled in the crowd of people in the airport terminal and walked into the flight through the usual boarding procedures.

After several months of suppression, the KGB and Bulgarian intelligence services were still working very effectively, at least on the territory of the Warsaw Pact member states. As for those Western spies who have slipped through the net and are operating in all directions, although these people are cunning, after all, they have not degenerated to the point of terrorists, and ordinary civil aviation flights are still very safe.

After a few months, Long Yun, who once again took a direct flight to Moscow with Valentina on a civilian airliner, stretched his body on the seat, and had a little sense of crossing, of course, the characters are still the same, but the general environment is no longer the same. As the voice prompt that the flight was about to take off, the Tu-204 passenger plane with the door closed smoothly taxied to the top of the runway, accelerated and jumped into the blue sky, and flew directly towards Moscow, 2,000 kilometers away.

After several hours of train bumps, the exhaustion accumulated from the previous continuous battles quickly filled the body, and he felt a wave of sleepiness coming, Long Yun tilted his head a little sleepily, and saw that Valentina next to him was full of energy and did not feel sleepy at all. Finding that Victor was watching himself, the empathetic detective raised his hand to straighten his shirt and touch his arm, signaling the "lover" not to worry and rest assured.

Seeing that Valentina was so considerate and that she was indeed very tired, Long Yun closed his eyes and took a nap with confidence, and soon entered a deep dream. (To be continued......)
