The glaring sunlight made the large dog feel dizzy. As the sensation grew stronger and more overwhelming, he fell backward, losing consciousness. Yet, in his final moment, he fell with a smile on his face; perhaps this fall was a form of relief for him.
Sometimes, living is harder to accept than death.
When he groggily awoke, the large dog found himself lying on a bed resembling an operating table. He felt around and discovered no wounds or surgical scars. The pure white clothing he wore looked more like a doctor's uniform than that of a patient.
After removing some sensors attached to him, he slowly got out of bed and let out a bitter laugh. It seemed he had lost his composure and fainted at such a moment. He wondered how his image was spreading wildly online now; he felt a bit sorry for those who were concerned about him.
Pulling back the curtain, the large dog realized that this hospital was much larger than he had imagined, or rather, this ward was much more cramped than he expected. Besides his own bed, there were over a dozen others, each separated by curtains, making the entire ward feel densely packed.
"What kind of hospital is this..." he muttered with a wry smile. A standard hospital configuration would have two beds per room; even if there were too many patients to accommodate, it shouldn't be this crowded. The layout was peculiar as well, resembling public seating arrangements—four rows forming a room filled with sixteen beds. Even if the room was spacious, it didn't need to be arranged like this.
Suddenly, from behind one of the curtains in front of him, a man dressed in a black suit walked in. The man's eyes were bloodshot, and his shirt collar was casually undone, giving him a very fatigued appearance. Upon seeing the large dog, the Suit Man smiled and patted his shoulder. "You're awake? If you're awake, come with me."
After saying that, the Suit Man walked straight down the corridor, passing through four rows of beds before lifting another curtain and stepping outside.
What kind of design is this ward? How can it have so many exits? The large dog was astonished by the layout but soon realized that this wasn't a hospital room at all; it was actually the cabin of an aircraft. He hadn't noticed earlier because they weren't in flight and thus didn't feel any vibrations or hear engine noises.
Wait! The large dog suddenly recognized that something was off. He had fainted after arriving in Beijing; he should be in a military hospital surrounded by reporters outside. There was no way he could be on an airplane.
He immediately became alert. His long-term work environment conditioned him to instinctively believe that this place wasn't normal; this aircraft was definitely not an ordinary commercial flight. Which airline would transform their technology like this?!
The Suit Man returned and saw that the large dog was still standing there motionless. With a helpless shrug and a wry smile, he teased, "Come on! What if you get lost?"
The large dog sighed and followed him. He had fainted at the airport; under such public scrutiny, no one could openly snatch him away from the government. So it seemed that this place was arranged by the state for him. With that thought in mind, he chuckled lightly and resignedly followed him toward the rear of the cabin.
As they passed through the entire cabin, the large dog saw many unfamiliar pieces of equipment and staff moving about. However, these people didn’t look like proper defense personnel at all; they weren’t wearing uniforms or lab coats but were all dressed in civilian clothes. Some girls even wore skirts that were twenty centimeters above their knees...
What on earth... where do I look? Get a grip! The large dog forcibly turned his gaze away from those coordinating team beauties and tried to clear his mind.
Suit Man found it quite amusing and couldn't help but tease, "If you have your eye on someone, I can help set you up. They love guys like you in uniform. They think it's super cool!"
Big Dog opened his mouth but ultimately held back his words, recalling the time he spent in America. Although it might seem unfair to Elephant General and the others, that period was perhaps the most beautiful time of his life...
Finally, after traversing the entire Cabin, Suit Man led Big Dog to the back of the Cabin. There was a separate office that appeared to be designated for high-ranking officials.
"Mind your heart; don't get scared to death," Suit Man said with a mischievous grin, pushing the door open without knocking.
It seemed that this person held a higher rank than the one inside; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to be so brazen as to enter unannounced. With such an unreliable superior, it was clear that the owner of this office was likely not a trustworthy character either.
If Xiong Kai had heard this remark, he would have jumped up and pointed angrily, shouting, "Bastard! You haven't even seen me and you're jumping to conclusions. That guy is a habitual offender; everyone in the company knows that!!!"
As soon as he entered, Big Dog understood what Suit Man meant by "Mind your heart; don't get scared to death." The moment he stepped inside, he saw a familiar face. The familiarity was so intense that Big Dog initially thought it was an illusion. After steadying himself, he realized it wasn't an illusion; it was real...
Fan Yu also spotted Big Dog and immediately greeted him with a smile, which genuinely startled Big Dog.
It wasn't surprising; he had watched Fan Yu get killed by Fox Gun. How could such a memory ever fade? Yet here was Fan Yu, sitting right there and greeting him, still dressed in that familiar military uniform with two horizontal stripes and three stars.
"Hey, finally awake! I've been waiting for you forever," a familiar voice called from the long sofa inside the office. Big Dog hesitated to look over because he recognized that voice immediately.
"Now that everyone is here, we can start the movie so you won't feel left out," Suit Man said with a smile as he handed Big Dog a document and tossed him a pen. "If you think everything looks good, just sign your name at the back."
Tiger rushed over to snatch the document from Big Dog's hands, flipping to the last page to glance at the Arabic numeral. He complained, "Ahhh—why does this guy have such a high score?"
Big Dog's body trembled slightly; he found it hard to imagine this situation. "Can you explain this?" he asked Suit Man, knowing from his demeanor that this place was under his authority and he must know everything.
"To put it simply, everything you've experienced is just a dream..."
"Then was my birth also a dream? Why am I sitting here? This doesn't make sense..." White Wolf raised his hand to question, his tone laced with sarcasm.
"Uh... my mission was in America, and the relations between our two countries aren't as tense as in dreams," Suit Man scratched his head, feeling somewhat speechless at this response.
The large dog sighed, "Holding this is truly a nightmare."
Elephant General put down the documents in his hands and fixed his gaze on Suit Man's eyes. "Then what is your identity?"
"I am the leader of Action Department A Group and the overall person in charge and commander of this dream." Suit Man smiled lightly. "Haven't you figured out who I am yet?"
That smug tone and all-knowing demeanor revealed a familiar essence.
The fox rolled up the report in his hands and sighed, "Stop keeping us in suspense, Lord Chen."
Lord Chen? Chen Rui!!! Liaison Officer!!!
"My surname is Chen, my given name is Rui. You can call me Chen Rui... Ah! Why are you hitting me! Damn it, you're going to get me fired!" Chen Rui's laughter abruptly stopped as Xiong Kai could no longer tolerate his lingering demeanor and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Come on! Stop dragging it out, okay? The movie is about to start!" Xiong Kai returned to his desk, typed a few keys, and the lights in the office dimmed. The glass panels of the cabin closed, and two synchronized 3D projection lights installed at the top of the cabin began to operate.
"Due to time constraints, I've only used part of it; basically, it's all important plot points. After you confirm there are no discrepancies with your assessment results, please sign. This result will be submitted to the Ministry of National Defense." Xiong Kai had his back to them; though somewhat rude, he was more focused than the giggling Chen Rui.
The large dog adjusted his mood, sat on the long sofa, and began watching the 3D projection.
The content of the projection was a selection of events they had experienced in the dream, showcasing key moments. Occasionally, their laughter and exclamations could be heard.
After it finished playing, what originally spanned half a month was condensed by Xiong Kai into three and a half hours. Yet it truly highlighted all the critical points, leaving the six of them feeling deeply moved.
"This kind of technology must have existed for quite some time; why hasn't it been made public yet?" Elephant General asked. This dream technology had outstanding advantages across various fields, especially in quantifying time. If one could work within a dream, efficiency would increase exponentially.
Chen Rui shook his head with a smile. "Sorry, I can't disclose anything about that just yet. However, I believe it won't be long before you see this technological project on a global stage, and when it debuts, it will shock the world."
Everyone nodded and signed their names on their respective documents before returning them to Chen Rui.
The final assessment results were: the large dog ranked first with an eight, the fox second with a seven, while the other four all scored six and were tied for third place—also tied for last place...
"Although you already know my name, I still want to introduce myself," the Elephant General said as he walked over to Chen Rui, smiling and extending his right hand. "Mu Jiahui, Codename Elephant, Action Commander of this Team."
"Chen Rui," Chen Rui replied, shaking the Elephant General's hand lightly.
Next, Lion Brother stepped forward to introduce himself. "You probably don't know my real name yet. Given your rank, I suppose I can reluctantly tell you. Wang Shi."
Tiger grinned mischievously. "Lei Hao, nice to meet you!"
White Wolf maintained his cold demeanor, but his tone seemed a bit excited. "Zhang Yuan."
A large dog approached Chen Rui, sighed, and then punched him directly on the shoulder. Chen Rui yelped in pain, "Ah! This isn't a dream! I may be strong, but I'm no match for the Special Forces!"
Surprised by Chen Rui's reaction—he hadn't used much force—the dog realized that Chen Rui was clearly putting on an act. They exchanged smiles. "Chen Qigang!"
"You must have already known our names through our files, but I still want to introduce myself. I'm Yue Tong. Please take care of me!" The fox smiled lightly, his handsome face vaguely reminiscent of Li Xue.
"You’re impressive; you’re the first one to see through it," Chen Rui laughed and shook hands with the fox.
Fan Yu frowned slightly. "What’s going on? We’ll see each other again soon; it’s not like we’re saying goodbye forever… really..."
"You... what?!!" Chen Rui and the six others asked in unison.
