Makarov looked at the backs of the two leaving, and then remembered his business, so he went back to the infirmary.After taking the medicine, he asked the military doctor, "Is that man seriously injured just now?"

"It wasn't heavy at first, but it was only delivered now. The wound was festering, and the man's health was not good, so it's hard to say now, and we need to observe it for a few more days. If the wound can't heal after a few days, I suggest Transfer this person to a hospital in Irkutsk for treatment."

Makarov didn't expect it to be so serious, he hesitated for a while, and then asked again: "Did you see that pattern?"

"Pattern? Well, I saw it." The military doctor answered lightly.

"What does that mean?"

"What does it represent? I only care about treating diseases, I don't know what that pattern represents. But..." The military doctor seemed to think of something, and hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Makarov asked.

"However, I have seen this pattern before."

"Oh?" Makarov cheered up.

"There was a student who was in the same situation before. He was brought here and asked me to deal with it. At that time, that person's condition was worse than this person's. Not only was his wound inflamed and festered, but he was unconscious and had a high fever." The military doctor recalled .

"What happened later? What happened to that student?" Makarov, as the commander of the base, knew nothing about these things and felt annoyed.

"I don't know much about what happened afterwards. After I dealt with the student, I haven't seen that person again." The military doctor shrugged helplessly.

"Do you remember his name?"

"The students who come here have only one number, and we don't even know their names." The military doctor shook his head.

It was only then that Makarov remembered that within the base, students, instructors and students were only referred to by numbers, so if he didn't check the files of many students, he wouldn't know their names.Just like the student who was taken away by Li Guowen just now, Makarov just thought he looked familiar, but he couldn't call him by name.This is also the discipline established by Buldenko at the beginning.

"Then what about his number, you should remember it?" Makarov didn't give up.

The military doctor still shrugged helplessly: "Comrade Bultenko's discipline is that when students come here to see a doctor, they don't keep medical records, and all prescriptions have to go through him. So I only need to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, and I don't know anything else."

"When was that student brought here last time? You should remember this, right?"

The military doctor rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Probably seven or eight months ago!"

It seemed that there was nothing more to be asked from the military doctor, so Makarov got up and said goodbye.Back in the dormitory, Bourdenko was not there. He was lying on the bed weakly, unable to sleep, and could only stare at the ceiling in a daze.That student from seven or eight months ago?Ancient tribal totem?Makarov was thinking about the pattern, chewing on Li Guowen's words... thinking maybe he should do something, thinking of this, he jumped up from the bed with a "chuckle".

Makarov came to Buldenko's room.Originally, this was just a bedroom, but because this room was larger than Makarov's, besides being Brtenko's bedroom, it was also the "secret room" of the entire base.Important archives of the base, as well as spare guns and ammunition are stored here.

Makarov glanced at Brdenko's room. The sheets on the bed were neatly folded, and the whole room was spotless.This is Buldenko's consistent style. Even in this exotic Gobi desert, Bultenko still maintains the rigor of a soldier.Makarov glanced at the large metal cabinet next to the desk, which stored important archives of the base, as well as spare guns and ammunition.Only Bultenko and he have the key to this tin cabinet, and he rarely opens it, so Brdenko is basically in charge of this tin cabinet.

Makarov couldn't remember the last time he opened this metal cabinet, it seemed like a month ago, and put a document in it...

Makarov took out his key and opened the tin cabinet.The metal cabinet is very large, occupying the entire wall. It is divided into upper, middle and lower floors. The upper layer stores important archives of the base, while the middle and lower layers store spare guns and ammunition.

There is also a small safe on the upper floor, which stores the funds and ledgers of the base.Makarov carefully opened the upper cabinet with another key, and there were stacks of colorful banknotes neatly stacked inside, including rubles, US dollars, renminbi and Mongolian currency Tugrik.There's no bank in this damn place, everything has to be done in cash.When Makarov first came to the base, for a while he was always worried that a mouse would get into the cabinet and eat all the banknotes, and then he would stop working completely.But then he gradually let go of his heart, because in this ghostly place where no grass grows, he has never seen a single mouse.

Makarov has always had no concept of money, and the accounts of the base are also managed by Buldenko.He roughly looked at the cabinet where the money was kept, and felt that there was quite a lot of money and the account books were there, so he was relieved.

Makarov locked the money cabinet, and checked the weapons and ammunition in the middle and lower cabinets.Except for the KGB personnel in the base, the trainees were not issued weapons. Only during training, the instructors came to Bourtenko to collect weapons and ammunition.This is the rule he and Buldenko set together.

A row of AK-47 assault rifles were neatly placed in the lower cabinet. Makarov counted them. There were 27 of them in total, 9 of which were missing.He looked through the register, and Burdenko trained the trainees, and took away 9 AK-47s and a box of ammunition.He checked the middle layer again. There were 36 TT-33 pistols, 4 shotguns, 3 sniper rifles, 2 light machine guns, 1 heavy machine gun, and 4 miniature spy pistols specially used to train agents. There is nothing missing in the closet.Another 12 boxes of bullets and two boxes of grenades are also in the cabinet.

Makarov's gaze returned to the upper cabinet. There were still many archives there. He found a box of archives and took them out.This is the student registration form, and he checks the situation of the students at the base on the form.Looking at it, suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, and he found that in the remarks column of one of the students, it was written impressively: The student tried to escape from the base during training and was shot dead on the spot.

Makarov recognized Buldenko's handwriting.A student tried to escape from the base and was shot dead!Makarov didn't have any memory, he tried his best to recall, slowly, slowly... There seemed to be some fragments in the depths of Makarov's memory.Seven or eight months ago, Buldenko seemed to have mentioned to himself that a trainee did not follow the training rules and was shot and wounded by his companions.

At that time, Makarov asked Buldenko how to deal with it, and Bultenko said that he was responsible for handling it, not Makarov.Makarov didn't ask about it again. Buldenko later mentioned to Makarov that the trainee was sent back to the hospital in Irkutsk and then removed from the base.

But... But the records in this file are different from what Buldenko said.Was shot dead on the spot? !No, not possible.If he was shot dead on the spot, someone should report him.Although he is not in charge, if such a big incident happened in the base, it is impossible to hide it from him.

According to Brdenko, the practitioner had an unruly attempt and was injured.If such a thing happened, he should also know, right?Makarov's gaze focused on Buldenko's handwriting again, and he stared at the date Bultenko wrote, which was more than seven months ago!Reminiscent of the student who was brought in by the military doctor to him, he was full of doubts, and looked forward from the column of remarks. Height, weight, and all the indicators of this person were registered on the record, but there was only one missing. Name column.The column before the name is the number, and this person's number is A711209.

"No. A711209 has been removed." When Makarov was wondering, Burtenko's deep voice came from behind him.

Makarov was shocked, and hurriedly turned around to look.Burdenko was holding four AK-4 rifles under his left arm and five AK-47 rifles under his right arm, and was standing at the door of the house sweating profusely.

"You... went to training again?" Makarov didn't know what to say.

Bourtenko was very calm, and put the 9 AK-47s back into the metal cabinet one by one, then wiped the sweat from his face, pointed to the file on the table and said, "I knew you would come to find this."

"Since you know that I'm here to find this, why don't we talk about this student A711209." Makarov tried to keep himself calm.

"There's nothing to say. Since I'm in charge of the training, I have to follow my method, and no one can violate the rules I set, that's it." Burtenko looked indifferent.

"Now I understand a little bit why you were demoted and sent here." Makarov stared at the military rank on Burdenko's shoulder, thoughtfully.

Hearing what Makarov said, Burdenko not only didn't get angry, but smiled: "Please believe me, only the students trained with my method can complete the tasks they are about to complete. Otherwise, they are nothing. "

"Then can you tell me the whereabouts of student No. A711209? You told me that a student was injured and sent to the hospital in Irkutsk, and then removed. But I checked the entire file, and among all the students , the only person who was removed from the list, and what you wrote in the file is..."

"What I wrote was that the trainee attempted to escape from the base during training and was shot dead on the spot." Burtenko suddenly interrupted Makarov's words and said firmly.

Makarov froze for a moment: "Which one is the truth? Can you tell me?"

"Of course I can tell you that you are the commander of the base!" Burtenko picked up the file, looked at it, and said seriously, "Comrade Makarov, you should understand that what happened at the base Everything is subject to the records in the file."

Makarov didn't believe that the situation of student A711209 was as simple as the record in the file: "No, what I want to know is the truth. I think I have the right to know the truth." Makarov raised his voice.

"Okay! Let me tell you. Dear Ivan, calm down first." Seeing Makarov's resolute attitude, Burdenko softened his tone immediately.

"I can calm down, but if I don't know the truth, it's hard to guarantee that I won't report the situation to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to send someone to investigate the matter." Makarov also softened his tone, but there was a threat in his words.

Buldenko smiled wryly, patted Makarov on the shoulder, and said, "Actually, it's better for you to know less about the so-called truth in your mouth. Someone like you, who has been sitting in an office in Leningrad before, has no Don't understand those of us who work at the grassroots level."

"Maybe I didn't know about it before, but now I'm very interested in knowing about you, especially your training methods." Makarov insisted on this matter.

Burtenko shrugged helplessly: "Well, let me tell you, these students are not like us. They no longer have the concepts of country, nation, and honor in their minds. All we have to do is train them into a machine, a cold-blooded They are ruthless, sophisticated, and machines for our use. Then, we must first break down their psychological defenses and erase their past memories. Although most of these people are desperadoes, they still have distracting thoughts in their hearts. I need There is a way to get rid of distracting thoughts in their minds."

"Just to use a knife on them?"

"That's just a small method. I have a whole set of methods to make these students completely forget their past, give up their dignity, and erase their emotions. Only when they do all these can they become truly powerful Machine." Buldenko seemed very excited when he said this, he calmed down his emotions a little, and continued, "As for this number A711209, he is the most disobedient one among the students. The reason is that I As I said before, there are still many distracting thoughts in his mind. He still wants to go back to the past and find a normal life like pastoral. I warned him that since he came here, he should stop thinking about it. Many, carrying out our mission is the only thing he has to do. But A711209 did not heed my warning, and his mind is still full of untimely distracting thoughts, so I asked Li Guowen and the others to teach him a lesson."

Makarov has already chewed out some flavors from Buldenko's words: "In other words, the real situation is neither the accidental injury you told me and the hospitalization, nor the attempt to escape and was shot dead on the spot as written in the file, but He was tortured to death by Li Guowen and the others."

"They were too careless. Of course, we can't blame Li Guowen and the others for this, because this is a necessary method. As for the 'attempt to escape, shot dead on the spot' written in the report, it is undoubtedly the best explanation for the above."

Makarov lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Why is there no name of A711209 in the file?"

"Because this person refuses to tell, no matter how much we ask, we still don't know his real name." Burdenko shrugged helplessly.

"Then why do you keep such a person in the base?" Makarov was puzzled.

Burtenko sighed and said, "Because I thought I could train him well, but I was wrong in the end. This guy's bones are really hard."

"Where is A711209 now?"

"It has been processed. It was buried outside the base."

"Where is it buried?"

"In a valley far away from the base, Li Guowen and I went to bury it."

"I want to go and see." Makarov just wanted to confirm the life and death of number A711209.

"That valley is far away from the base. When the guy died, his symptoms were very similar to the plague, so Li Guowen and I buried him far away."

"No matter how far away, I have to take a look, otherwise... it's hard for me to agree with your training method." Makarov said with some words.Just as Buldenko was about to speak, Makarov said again, "Don't say you don't remember that place, I said no matter how far away, I have to go and see it. After I have seen it, I will pretend that nothing happened Pass."

Burtenko curled his lips helplessly: "Okay, I will arrange it when I have time."

"By the way! And that pattern, what does that pattern represent? Why do you use that pattern?" Makarov suddenly remembered that strange pattern again.

"It's nothing, it's just a totem of an ancient tribe. I saw it and used that pattern."

"Totem of an ancient tribe? Where did you see it?"

"It's near the base. I'll take you to see it if I have a chance."

Makarov nodded thoughtfully, and the two finally ended their unfriendly conversation in a friendly atmosphere.

[Section [-] Ancient Totem]

After listening to Makarov's narration, Tang Feng and Han Jiang were amazed.

"So, this pattern has already appeared?" Tang Feng asked impatiently.

"At least I saw it decades ago." Makarov said.

"No wonder you were so nervous when you saw the tattoos on those men in black!" Han Jiang said.

"Yeah! I can't understand how these well-trained men in black will have such tattoos on their bodies after decades." Makarov shook his head and said.

"The members of the mysterious organizations that have been fighting against us all have tattoos like this. Do the students you train also have tattoos of this pattern?" Tang Feng asked Makarov.

"This..." Makarov hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "No! I'm not sure, but I saw that pattern again later. It was an extremely painful and frightening memory..."

For two weeks, Buldenko failed to keep his promise to Makarov.Makarov was calm on the surface, but he was always thinking about student A711209 and the mysterious pattern in his heart.

Makarov didn't urge Buldenko, he wanted to see how Buldenko ended up.Moreover, he had already made up his mind that if Buldenko could not give him a satisfactory answer, he would bring this matter to the fore.

At noon that day, after lunch, Makarov stayed in the house, wanting to take a nap.But in this hot summer season, the sweltering iron house is like a steamer, and the hot air blown by the electric fan can't make people fall asleep at all.
