Chapter 415 The agent who has been lurking for 30 years
A whole week later, Xu Ziling, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng finally saw the sun again.
During these days, Xu Ziling has been studying submarines. Whether from the perspective of optimization or what Xu Ziling himself knows, there are many things that can be improved in the 094 submarine, whether it is hardware or software.
But unlike the experimental ship No. 051 of the South China Sea Fleet, 094 is a sequence that is in service and performs missions. Even if Xu Ziling had the courage to change the relevant software system, Captain Li and others dared not agree, so he only gave them some opinions in some aspects and promised to go and take a look after returning to China, without taking action to change anything inside.
"Take care of yourself!"
"See you back home!"
After saying goodbye to Captain Li and his friends briefly, Xu Ziling and the other two boarded a rubber boat and rowed towards the coast. When they left for a hundred meters, No. 653, which had surfaced, had quietly dived underwater, and disappeared in the dark night.
Their location is on the west coast of northern California, the United States. When they knew that the reception location was here, Xu Ziling was silent. He remembered that he had been here once two years ago, and the three of them were together that time. The difference was that he came on a plane that time, and this time he actually came in this way.
There were still a few hundred meters away from the shore, and Yang Kaiming signaled several people to stop.
"what?"
Xu Ziling and Li Chengdu were a little puzzled by his actions.
But as soon as I finished asking, I saw Yang Kaiming looking at the tactical watch, and it turned out to be an observation of the situation on the shore.
In fact, he didn't need to come. Xu Ziling had already let the lion scan it. There was indeed someone on the shore, but there was only one. Except for the four people who were added together, there was no one within a few kilometers.
"Okay, send a signal."
After looking at the tactical watch, Yang Kaiming quickly confirmed that there was no abnormality, which made Li Cheng issue a secret code.
After hearing Yang Kaiming's words, Li Cheng immediately took out the flashlight and pointed it at the shore for a few times. The person responsible for receiving the response was also paying attention to the sea surface. When he saw their signal, he immediately flashed a few times. Seeing that the code was correct, the three of them continued to draw.
A few minutes later, Xu Ziling and the others arrived on the shore, and the person in charge of the reception immediately ran over and said, "Come on the bus with me, the next patrol boat will arrive soon." He quickly helped them pack up the rubber boat.
The few people knew that it was not the time to speak, so they hurriedly packed up their things, followed the responder and got into a car he hid in the woods next to them.
The car started, but the responder did not turn on the headlights. He turned on the headlights in the dark, and it was only on the wide road one kilometer away.
"Hello, my name is Lao Hu. I didn't expect that I would wait for you today." The car left the coast, and was not afraid of being discovered by the patrol personnel, so the respondent spoke.
Lao Hu looks like he is in his fifties, with a little white temple, but his face and dress are quite good. He looks like he lives in the United States.
"Hello, Lao Hu."
The three of them quickly mentioned their code name, and they were very respectful to people like Lao Hu.
"By the way, Lao Hu, why did you just say that we are waiting for us today? "It means that we are all our own people. After chatting for a while, everyone became familiar with each other. Xu Ziling remembered what he said just now, but I don't know what it means. Isn't the time for the reception determined?
Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng also had the same questions. Seeing Xu Ziling asking, they also turned their attention to Lao Hu.
"The family didn't give me the exact time to come over you. I just said that today will not be more than three days at the latest. If you haven't arrived yet after more than three days, it means that the task has been cancelled." Lao Hu was driving the car and was very strange about their questions. After answering, he seemed to remember something, "This is because you have delayed your road."
"oh!"
After listening to his explanation, the three of them suddenly realized and were a little ashamed. They had never been exposed to such a way of infiltration before, and they did not consider whether the voyage would be smooth. This is really an empiricist killing people.
After a two-hour drive, Lao Hu carried a few people through the western mountainous areas. He changed a car in a forest and continued to drive eastward. It took another hour to arrive at a house where Lao Hu came.
The house is typical American style, all made of wood, and a small courtyard is fenced outside.
"No one is a few kilometers around here, don't worry about living here."
After parking the car in the garage, Lao Hu led a few people into the house.
After entering the room and turning on the lights, Xu Ziling and others clearly saw the traces that had just been cleaned up in the room, "Old Hu, you don't usually live here."
"No," Lao Hu took out a few cans of bottles of wine from the refrigerator, gave it to several people, took a can, opened it and took a sip, and then said: "There is no tea here, just drink this one. I bought the house a few years ago and used it as a safe house. I occasionally took my family here for vacation. I haven't been here for a long time, so I just cleared it out a few days ago."
Several people sat down and drank half a can of beer in one big gulp. This week, the food was good in the submarine, but there were not many tricks, which made them feel that the beer they didn't drink much was extremely delicious.
"Then what are you doing here?"
This time, Yang Kaiming asked. Although the few people talked a lot in the car, they all talked about domestic affairs. Lao Hu asked. The three of them answered that they would understand people who had not returned to China for many years, so they never asked about Lao Hu. At this time, they heard that he could afford several houses, so Yang Kaiming was naturally a little curious.
"Doctor!" Lao Hu looked proud, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with his current career. "According to his domestic professional title, I can also be considered a professor-level professor."
"Then why would you do this?"
No one understands how a doctor is related to a spy.
"This is a long story." He buried this matter in his heart for thirty years. The first time he could talk to the person he was able to talk to, Lao Hu said it like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Of course, he said that he had not forgotten to take out a few more bread and thrown it to several people, saying that he would fill it up first, "I was less than twenty years old back then..."
More than ten minutes later, after hearing what Lao Hu said, Xu Ziling and the other two looked at each other.
It was really a coincidence that Lao Hu was also from Xingcheng, and he was from the same town as Xu Ziling and Li Cheng, but only in a different village. What's more coincidence that he was once the first group of students at the University of Science and Technology of China, but he was just the kind of secret archives.
Lao Hu was less than 20 years old and happened to be admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China during the college entrance examination. However, a secret department took a fancy to Lao Hu, whose parents both died at that time, so he discussed with him and asked him if he would like to work for the country. According to Lao Hu himself, at that time, working for the country was honor. He did not understand what he needed to do, so he agreed in a daze.
So he was put on the title of a medical student and sent to the United States.
"What's wrong with you? I'm having a problem?"
Seeing the strange expressions of the three of them, Lao Hu wondered.
"There are problems, and it's a big problem." Yang Kaiming looked at Xu Ziling and Li Cheng, and replied with a smile to Lao Hu, "You said you are from Xingcheng, so are the three of us, and they are the same as you."
There are four great joys in life. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land ranks second. When Lao Hu was already happy to see the Chinese people who were traveling with him, he didn't expect to meet three little fellow villagers, two of whom were only a few miles away from his hometown. Such unexpected surprises made him so excited that he couldn't speak.
After a long time, he muttered: "This problem is really big." He immediately told Xu Ziling and Li Cheng about the name of his hometown village and asked them if they knew it.
Li Cheng has been growing up outside. After he grew up, he joined the army and returned to his hometown very rarely, so he naturally didn't know it. However, Xu Ziling grew up there since he was a child and was very familiar with the village where Lao Hu was. The most coincidence was that the two villages were adjacent.
"This is a coincidence!"
When Yang Kaiming said that Lao Hu's village was next to Xu Ziling and his village, he sighed again.
After chatting again, Xu Ziling also knew everything about Lao Hu: after he arrived in the United States, he entered the famous medical school in the United States and collected some scientific and technological information. However, after a few years, the relationship between the two countries began to deteriorate. He had the opportunity to return home, but in order to carry out his work to the end, he had already entered the American medical field and chose to stay.
With the change of relations between the two countries, his work became even more difficult. He had to be more careful than before and reduced his ties with the country. However, because of his achievements in medical skills, he successfully became a genuine American. Finally, he chose a Chinese girl to get married and have children, and until now.
"It's been thirty-two years this year." Lao Hu also sighed about his spy career, "Fortunately, I can go home after finishing this time, which is considered a fallen leaf returning to its roots."
"What about your family? Are they willing to give up their life here and return home?"
"What do they want to go back? Although their nationality is from the United States, they are completely descendants of Yan and Huang in their bones." Lao Hu's words were full of domineeringness, and he expressed his pride in being the descendants of Yan and Huang. "I am just a doctor. Since fifteen years ago, I have been in charge of intelligence searches. I am really lurking. Over the years, my family has contacted me three times. The most recent one was five years ago. If I hadn't received the message to ask me to answer you this time, I would have forgotten my identity."
