Chapter 33 Anton Whose Life and Death Are Unknown

Two beauties in long skirts stood on the side of the road, looking at the passing vehicles from time to time. A car suddenly stopped in front of them, and the windows were slowly rolled down.

"Hi! Beauty, where are you going? I can take you there!" The man in the car was chewing gum, flirtatiously flirting with Tonya and Terkina. It's a pity that everything the man did was in vain, the two beauties ignored him, and his behavior of parking at will caused the traffic behind to be blocked, and for a while there was a rush of horns from behind. The man had to walk away disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Terkina. I think it must be because of the traffic jam that Seryozha came so late. Let's wait a little longer. I won't spare him when he comes." Tonya explained, He walked into the telephone booth on the side of the road and dialed Seryozha's number.

"How long will it take for you to arrive!" Tonya asked angrily.

"I'm sorry, the car is stuck outside. I'll run over to pick you up right now." Seryozha replied using the Altai car phone in the car. Tonya hung up the phone angrily, and Seryozha hurriedly asked the driver Salman to stop. Seryozha opened the car door, picked up the roses and ran forward.

Ten minutes later, when Seryozha appeared in front of Tonya holding a large bouquet of roses out of breath. Tonya's mood gradually improved, while Terkina looked at Seryozha and Tonya enviously, with a hint of sadness in her expression.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why there was a big traffic jam today! Hello, you are Dongia's friend Terkina! It's nice to meet you in person. We used to have acquaintances before!" Seryozha took the initiative to tell Dongia friends greeted.

So the three of them started to walk back. On the way, Tonya, who was deliberately held back by Seryozha, walked behind. He asked quietly, "Didn't we agree to live in a two-person world?"

"Don't be so stingy, Seryozha! Terkina lost contact with her boyfriend, and she is in a bad mood recently, so I brought him here to relax!" Tonya pinched Seryozha's face affectionately , offered a sweet kiss.

The three of them walked a long way before returning to the car. The two beauties sat in the back of the car, and Sergey sat next to Salman in the co-pilot's seat.

"Salman, go to the East Palace Hotel and find a shortcut!" Seryozha gave an order, and Salman drove out of the main road, and within half an hour, he sent Seryozha to the gate of the East Palace Hotel. After the two beauties got out of the car, Seryozha took out 200 rubles from his pocket and handed it to Salman, then said: "You go home first! Take this money to buy something for the family. Just leave the car to me."

"But, secretary..." Salman wanted to decline, but Sergesha refused. Seryozha took the car keys and walked into the lobby of the Hermitage Hotel. Seryozha walked into the restaurant of the hotel with a beautiful woman on his face, and it was time for dinner. The waiter took the three of them to the pre-booked location.

"You can eat whatever you want, you're welcome!" said Seryozha, pulling out chairs for Tonya and Terkina. But Terkina was really not in the mood, and she handed the menu to Tonya again.

Tonya is really relentless, "The appetizers are top-quality caviar from the Caspian Sea, French foie gras, and baked escargots. The aperitif is French champagne." Since there are several dishes in the Western food, we don't order all of them at once. Finished, so after ordering appetizers, the waiter was the first to leave.

After a while, the appetizers were served. Tonya greeted Terkina warmly, and Terkina pretended to be happy tasting the dishes, but she couldn't hide her worried feeling.

"Do you still have contact with your comrades-in-arms in Afghanistan? Can you inquire about something for Terkina?" Tonya suddenly asked Seryozha.

"Jerkina's boyfriend is a pilot and was also sent to Afghanistan, but he suddenly lost contact recently. Can you help me find out?" Dongia was talking, and Jerkina opened her handbag and took out her wallet. and held it before Seryozha's eyes,

There was a photo stuffed in the wallet. In the photo, a handsome young man put his hands on Terkina's shoulders. Terkina was nestled in the young man's arms, and the two looked at each other happily.

Seryozha was taken aback when he saw the picture, and unconsciously called out: "Anton?"

"You know him!" Terkina immediately became excited, her eyes were full of hope, and Tonya also became happy.

"Of course we know each other. We are close friends. Although we didn't get along for a long time,... we almost died in Pagman that time!" Seryozha said with emotion.

"Why have you never heard of it!" asked Tonya, putting Seryozha on her arm.

"Seryozha, can you ask me about his situation? We had a big fight on the phone a while ago, and he hasn't contacted me since then. After all, it's a battlefield..." Terkina hurried asked.

"No problem, I'll ask you now, wait for me later!" Seryozha said as he left his seat and walked towards the bar of the restaurant, where there happened to be a phone available.

Seryozha picked up the phone and called Lebed. He hadn't contacted Lebed for a long time, and he didn't know how he was doing now. The call was quickly connected through the extension of the army, and Lebed's voice came from the other side of the microphone.

"Hi, I'm Lebed!"

"Guess who I am?"

"Seryozha, hey brother! I haven't contacted you for a long time. Now that you are well-developed, you won't forget us." Lebed asked happily.

"I'm really sorry, brother, when you return to China, I will apologize to you face to face." Sergey Sha said apologetically.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Lebed asked with a smile.

"Don't tell me, I really have something to do. Do you still remember the pilot Anton who was with us when we were in Pagman? How is he doing now?" Seryozha asked cheerfully.

"Anton? Why do you suddenly want to ask about him?" Lebed's voice was suddenly full of hesitation.

"What's the matter? Did something happen to him?" Seryozha had a premonition that he didn't want to. After a long silence on the other side of the phone, Lebed said:

"Anton did have an accident, and now his superiors have blocked his news. I also inquired about it from others. Not long ago, we just participated in the siege of Kandahar. At that time, Anton also went, and his plane was shot down by the enemy. , made an emergency landing at the junction of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran."

"Did he die?" Seryozha asked worriedly.

"That's the problem. The helicopters that went to investigate only found the plane that was forced to land, but the pilot's whereabouts were unknown. The information from the enemy said that the Soviets had joined the S fighter guerrillas there."

In the distance Tonya and Terkina were waving to Seryozha. At this moment, Seryozha felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He pretended nothing happened, and turned towards Tonya and Terkina waved her hand and pointed to the phone, indicating that she was listening? Then he said: "Did the troops not conduct a ground search?"

"Seryozha, that's where Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran meet. You've been in Afghanistan for so long, don't you know what it is?" Lebed said in embarrassment.

"Golden Crescent?" Seriosha suddenly realized, no wonder the military is so secretive, it is the HLY production base second only to the Golden Triangle in the world, if there are pilots from the Red Army joining the DF team, it would be a big scandal!

After the call ended, Seriosha hurriedly went to smoke a cigarette to calm down for a while, and then returned to his seat pretending nothing happened!

"Why have you been here for so long? Have you heard about it?" Tonya asked with some reproach.

"Well! I found out. They said they were sent to perform a secret mission. I don't know when they will be back! They are almost eaten! Let's go on to order soup!" Seryozha cautiously avoided Terkina's gaze, and he He raised his glass and drank it like water. (To be continued.)
