This time in Nepal, the standard of reception was much higher than Lin Shuo's previous two transactions.
The vehicles for pick-up and drop-off are three Mercedes-Benz cars with small national flags on both sides of the front.
The small flags inserted on both sides are different, one is the Indian flag and the other is Nepal.
Among them, the flag of Nepal is very special. It is not a square, but two triangles stacked together, with blue borders, red background and white stripes. The upper pattern represents the moon, and the lower pattern represents the sun.
Seeing the national flags of the two countries, Lin Shuo understood in his heart that this car should not belong to the Nepalese government, but to the Indian embassy in Nepal.
In addition to the three Dabens, there was an equipment vehicle behind them, which was converted from a minibus, and was used to transport luggage.
The wooden boxes of the two leaders, Lin Shuo and Cao Yusheng, were placed on this minibus.
Before and after the convoy, there were a total of eight police motorcycles clearing the way, with their lights flashing.
Wei Xingshan, as the nominal security officer of this operation, sat in the front car.
Lin Shuo and Anne, one is the leader of the hunting gate, and the other is the representative of the International Society for Biological Research who was entrusted this time. They have the highest status on the surface, so they sit in the middle car.
Cao Yusheng and Zhang Jin, the elder and the younger, stood in the rear together.
The person sitting in the passenger seat of Lin Shuo's car was the official in charge of receiving Lin Shuo and his party this time. He was in his thirties and had a big beard.
Lin Shuo didn't remember his full name. It was a long list. According to his self-introduction, he was an Indian, the military attache of the Indian embassy in Nepal, and his name was Sanan.
The man was obviously well-educated, and his English was very standard, with a London flavor.
Lin Shuo's English was actually taught by himself in rural Guangxi a few years ago to teach students.
The school located in a remote mountain village had a serious shortage of teachers. Lin Shuo not only taught Chinese, but also taught English and natural science.
Most of the English textbooks in China use British pronunciation, so Lin Shuo is quite used to listening to Sanan's accent.
Just listen to Sanan's introduction: "The Chinese government attaches great importance to this biological incident. Whatever you need, whether it is materials or manpower, just ask."
Listening to Sanan's words, Lin Shuo felt a strange feeling in his heart.
This is Nepal. According to the briefing provided by the International Student Research Association, there were a total of 227 victims of this biological incident.
Among them, 207 Nepalese citizens were killed near a small town called Soli. Twenty Indians were killed on the border road between India and Nepal.
Obviously, more people were killed in Nepal.
But this time it was the Indian embassy in Nepal who received his group.
He then asked Anne beside him in Chinese: "Where are the people from Nepal?"
Anne said: "Nepal and India are both Hindu countries, and the caste problem is deeply rooted.
The 20 victims in India this time were all Brahmins, the highest caste.
And the 207 in Nepal are 'untouchables', so they don't get much attention. "
Lin Shuo nodded and understood what was wrong.
There are four major castes in Hinduism, of which Brahmin is the highest, followed by Kshatriya, followed by Vaishya and Sudra.
Sanan, who is currently sitting in front of the two, should be a Kshatriya since he can become a government official.
The "untouchables" in Anne's mouth are the most humble group of people outside the four major castes.
This kind of bloodline determines the social structure of class. Although Lin Shuo has heard of it, it is very strange to experience.
But he didn't care about these, he simply closed his eyes and began to doze off.
At this point, recharging your energy is the most important thing.
…
After the convoy drove out of Kathmandu, the traffic congestion improved a lot.
The clearing police car withdrew, and the overall speed of the convoy also increased.
The first place the convoy was going to was the small town called Soli.
This small city is on the southern branch of the Himalayas, more than 80 kilometers away from Kathmandu.
It sounds not far, but Nepal is either mountainous or hilly. The road is winding and winding, and the actual journey is more than 300 kilometers.
Coupled with the general road conditions, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when the convoy arrived in Soli.
Staying in the highest-standard hotel in the small town, Sanan told Lin Shuo that he would come back at 8:00 tomorrow morning to pick everyone up for on-site investigation.
Compared with the previous two business trips, everyone lived well this time.
Although Soli is a small town, it is the southern foot of the Himalayas, and it is the starting point of a certain hiking route.
Nepal itself is a country with tourism as its pillar industry, so the supporting tourist facilities in this small town are not bad.
This hotel, known as a four-star hotel, looks similar to a domestic three-star hotel overall, but it is much better than the previous two trips to either a small hotel or a police dormitory.
After a hasty dinner, everyone gathered in Lin Shuo's room, planning to hold a small meeting to discuss tomorrow's affairs.
As far as this transaction is concerned, the number of participants is less than before, only five people.
However, the number of soldiers is good but not many. The several people who participated in the operation this time, with their respective identities, can be regarded as a luxurious lineup even in the tens of thousands of years of Liemen's history.
Out of the six leaders of Liemen, two were dispatched, one was the general leader and the other was the mastermind.
The two juniors are the last heirs of the Suzhang family. In fact, they are only one generation away from the position of the six leaders.
Even Wei Xingshan, who is the weakest in strength, will soon be the leader of the Hunter Sect, the first disciple of Kaishan, and his reputation is not low.
With such a lineup, in the past, "Kyushu Foreign Objects" has a number of beasts with names and surnames, one by one, but they are just inserted into the label, so there is nothing that cannot be dealt with.
It's a pity that today is different from the past. The content of this nominally strong lineup is unclear to others, but Lin Shuo still knows it.
Hold a meeting first, and be careful not to make a big mistake.
And the one who presided over this meeting, logically speaking, was Lin Shuo, after all, he was the leader of Liemen.
But since Cao Yusheng was here, and the business had a lot to do with the Cao family, Lin Shuo didn't say much, but asked Cao Yusheng to introduce the situation of the white-headed flying corpse in detail, so as not to turn around and catch him blind.
Lin Shuo still remembers Anne and Zhang Jin's performance when they lacked information in the last time they played against the Beast.
At that time, saving the two of them was much more difficult than dealing with the beast and the assassin.
As for the situation of the white-headed flying corpse this time, even Lin Shuo only had a half-knowledge of what it was capable of, but Cao Yusheng needed further explanation on the specific situation.
"I'm ashamed to say the specific situation of the white-headed flying corpse. I, the head of the Cao family, don't know much about it." Cao Yusheng's opening remarks made the corners of Lin Shuo's mouth twitch.
"Because the white-headed flying corpse is an undisclosed secret of the main line of the Cao family, the head of my branch has no right to know." Cao Yusheng explained, "However, the main line of the Cao family suffered disaster fifteen years ago. The flying corpse has not appeared since it disappeared, which is a problem for our Cao family.
So I have been investigating in many ways over the years to prevent this beast from appearing suddenly and causing harm to the world.
Speaking of this thing, I actually saw a few when I was a child.
They are human-like, not like the Lin family's Fenghuang, but from appearance to wisdom.
It has a very human-like appearance, but it is not human in essence.
Although it is the spirit of our "Yanjing Cao", its origin is not in Yanjing, but in western Hunan.
It is the originator of the legend of driving corpses in Xiangxi.
Of course, because of this legend, the mortician gradually became a craft and became a branch of our family, which is another matter.
At least this is the source of the legend of zombies.
When they move on the ground, they jump and walk, and they look like humans, so they are misrepresented as zombies.
In ancient times, it also had a more prestigious name.
It's called 'Qong Qi'. "
"Wait a minute." Wei Xingshan interrupted, "You let me digest it, you mean, zombies and Qiongqi are actually the same thing?"
"Yes, it's the same thing." Cao Yusheng nodded.
"Don't make trouble!" Wei Xingshan said, "I've been looking around recently. I know about Qiongqi, but it's an ancient beast! There are two records in Shan Hai Jing, one says it's like a tiger, and the other says it's like a tiger. It looks like a cow, but it doesn't look like a human!"
Cao Yusheng smiled and said, "Then, do you know that the record of resembling a tiger in the Classic of Mountains and Seas comes from the record of resembling a cow?"
"Ah? I don't care about that." Wei Xingshan shook his head, "I read the popular version on the Internet."
"Young man, you have to read the original version." Cao Yusheng said lightly, "Actually, it's not the original version. The real original version belongs to our Liemen."
"Oh..." Wei Xingshan nodded. He had heard Lin Shuo say this, but he is not yet a hunter. "Shan Hai Jing".
"Then Qiongqi, does it look like a tiger, a cow, or a human?" Wei Xingshan asked again.
"Both are similar." Cao Yusheng nodded, "Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. Although oranges and oranges are actually two kinds of plants, the truth of this sentence is correct.
Even if the same species has a different environment, its appearance will also be different because it adapts to the local environment.
Things like Qiongqi are also in a similar situation. There will definitely be differences in appearance. There are not only group differences caused by the environment, but also individual differences caused by genetic mutations.
In addition, the knowledge of the ancient people was limited after all, and there were not many metaphors when making metaphors. In fact, the difference in the body is not that big, but it is normal to describe one as a tiger and the other as a cow.
In ancient times, Qiong Qi in western Hunan was like a human being.
The resemblance at that time was probably just a rough idea, not as similar as it is now.
However, the white-headed flying corpse has been cultivated in our Cao family for nearly 800 years.
We human beings domesticate animals, there are nothing more than two needs, one is functional needs, to be useful, and the other is aesthetic needs, to be good-looking.
So after more than 800 years of cultivation, the white-headed flying corpse of our Cao family has become more and more powerful, and at the same time more and more human-like.
The flying corpse that disappeared fifteen years ago, I heard from the elders of the Cao family, was very beautiful.
Although it can't speak, it can understand human language and is very smart. "
"Uncle." Wei Xingshan asked again, "Speaking of which, your Cao family should have bred a lot of flying corpses back then, right?"
"Yes." Cao Yusheng nodded, "Indeed, there are quite a few. It is said that in its heyday three hundred years ago, our old Cao family had the spectacle of 'thousand corpses flying into the sky', which made it one of the six families of Liemen in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, with the extinction of the wild population, the population of Lao Cao's flying corpses began to slowly degenerate due to inbreeding, the elimination rate became higher and higher, and the finished products became less and less.
However, even twenty years ago, our Cao family still had more than 30 flying corpses, each of which was controlled by the main lineage of the Cao family.
At that time, Liemen was fighting alone, with my eldest brother and Zhang Lianhai, the Lin and Zhang families were indeed stronger than the others.
But if compared to the overall combat power, the Cao family is undisputedly number one in the Liemen. "
"What about the other flying corpses?" Wei Xingshan asked, "Should we only deal with one this time?"
"Only one this time." Cao Yusheng said, "Because all the other flying corpses were killed by this one."
"Huh? You don't let the same kind go away, do you?"
"Yes." Cao Yusheng sighed, "This white-headed flying corpse was the smartest and strongest among the group of flying corpses back then. It is docile and beautiful, and was very popular with the old Patriarch at that time.
To be honest, I am a child of the branch of the Cao family. To be honest, my family status is not as high as it is, so I can't easily see it.
But no one thought that it would kill Lao Cao's family overnight.
This is really not my race, its heart must be different. "
