Anne continued to treat Lin Shuo with meridian techniques, while Wei Xingshan took Yang Tuo with him, and the two began to wander around.
Looking at the thin and small man beside him, Wei Xingshan faintly felt admiration in his heart.
Obviously, among the pedestrians, this scholar was originally one of the people Wei Xingshan hated the most, second only to Lin Shuo.
But now he and Lin Shuo became the two people Wei Xingshan admired during this trip.
I admire Lin Shuo not only because of his ability, but also because he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Yang Tuo, on the other hand, is usually absolutely rational, but he does things with a bit of persistence to the end.
These two temperaments are very suitable for Wei Xingshan's appetite.
"Dr. Yang, go behind me." Wei Xingshan said to Yang Tuo beside him, "Although this place is relatively safe, that's for people like Lin Shuo. For us, this place is still very dangerous."
"En." Yang Tuo nodded, slowed down, and followed behind Wei Xingshan.
At this time, both of them had Dingshen Zhenhun powder in their mouths, and it was not convenient to talk at first, but at this time, the saliva had already moistened the powder and adhered to the mouth, so speech was not hindered.
The buildings in the inner city of Dragon City are taller and larger than those in the outer city, and deep houses and courtyards have begun to appear, and there are many houses that enter and exit frequently.
The feeling of walking here is even more uncomfortable than that of the outer city. In addition to the fear brought by the darkness, there is also a sense of occlusion brought by the high walls on both sides of the alley.
Because they were looking for someone, Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo entered every door.
As a result, they found someone in the first house they entered.
This person was lying in the courtyard, very inconspicuous, and the flashlight almost missed it.
"There's someone here." Wei Xingshan signaled Yang Tuo to stop, and then he went up to check it himself, and then said, "He's passed out. Dr. Yang, come and see."
Yang Tuo walked up to the man and squatted down, first shone a flashlight on his face, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "I found it."
Wei Xingshan immediately understood: "Is he one of the lumberjacks?"
"Well. His name is Zeng Hong, male, 32 years old, from Heilongjiang, China, one of the 73 Chinese loggers who disappeared this time." Yang Tuo explained.
"How do you know so clearly?" Wei Xingshan was a little puzzled.
Yang Tuo didn't answer, but pointed to his head and adjusted his glasses.
"Okay, I know you are a genius, with a high IQ and a good memory." Wei Xingshan shook his head helplessly, "Hurry up and take a look, what's wrong with him?"
Yang Tuo first gently pushed the person, but found no response, then rolled the person's eyelids, and illuminated the pupils with a flashlight.
"It is indeed in a coma, but the situation is still stable." Yang Tuo said, "It is not appropriate to move him now. If it is true as Mr. Lin said, if all the people here are in this state, we will not be able to get out dozens of people. Write down the location first, and come back to save people later.”
"Speaking of this, I'm surprised." Wei Xingshan seemed to think of something, "Dr. Yang, do you still remember? When we first came to Waixing'an Mountains, according to Russian intelligence and the descriptions of the local mountain people, the eight More than a dozen people disappeared overnight without a sound. Could it be that the hooked snake controlled them?"
"It's possible." Yang Tuo nodded, "But instead of believing such an abnormal thing, I think it's more likely that they were coerced with weapons and had to leave there."
"But how do you explain those collapsed houses?" Wei Xingshan asked, "I didn't go to the scene at the time, but I heard from Liu Qing that it was as if someone had run over it with a road roller."
"This is indeed what hook snake did." Yang Tuo analyzed.
"But isn't that just taking off your pants and farting?" Wei Xingshan asked puzzled, "It's enough to kidnap him, what's the point of letting the hooked snake come out like this?"
"Maybe Mr. Lin knows better about this issue."
Yang Tuo didn't speak clearly, but Wei Xingshan understood.
The other party asked the hooked snake to go to the scene and leave a scent, which was obviously a bait for Lin Shuo.
"Obviously some people are cooperating with the hooked snake." Yang Tuo said again.
"Who is that?" Wei Xingshan asked, "And, how on earth did they cooperate with the hooked snake? How could the hooked snake communicate with humans? It's not a herding beast like the Black Water Dragon King."
"I don't know about this." Yang Tuo said, "I think this is a problem that Mr. Lin will solve next. If these are confirmed by Mr. Lin, this will also be one of my future research topics."
The two walked out the door while talking, Wei Xingshan was in front and Yang Tuo was behind.
Yang Tuo only saw that Wei Xingshan's figure suddenly paused and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yang Tuo asked.
While asking, he saw Wei Xingshan turn around quickly and look towards the courtyard, and Yang Tuo also turned his head.
Then the two saw at the same time that the person lying on the patio slowly stood up.
…
At the entrance of the underground space, the entrance of the underground river channel.
The entrance of the cave that was blown up by Wei Xingshan before was cleaned up by other mercenaries. Stone walls were built on the left and right sides, and a door was installed on each side.
It’s impossible not to do this, because near the entrance of this cave, there are giant green ants outside, and there are several forks inside, and the ghost knows what is hidden in it.
The time was short, materials were collected locally, and everyone was not professional in doing this. Naturally, this project was relatively simple, but at present, the entrance of this cave finally looks like a camp.
The four of Lin Shuo have been in this underground space for forty-eight hours, and the distance has already exceeded the communication range of the walkie-talkie, and there is no news at all.
Because I really didn't expect this place to be so big, and the material reserve brought by the team this time is not much.
In addition, they were attacked by ants and ran out of bullets, so everyone's actions were very conservative in the past two days, and they nested in the hole.
Not long after Lin Shuo left, Liu Qing sent five mercenaries to the ground to collect supplies, and it was unknown how long it would take to get here.
Outside the hole is a huge closed space. Once there is any noise here, the sound waves can be transmitted extremely far under the refraction of the stone wall.
So far, Liu Qing has heard two distant explosions, the first of which even triggered an earthquake.
It made her flustered.
Liu Qing is an expert in military equipment. In terms of resume, he is no worse than Wei Xingshan, and his diploma is far behind Wei Xingshan. The reason why he is Wei Xingshan's deputy is that he has actual combat experience.
She deeply admired Wei Xingshan's ability in field combat. Before meeting Lin Shuo, she even thought that this giant man was invincible in the field.
But what she saw and heard this time made her realize that this mission was still too difficult for Wei Xingshan.
This should be handled by people like Lin Shuo and Anne. No matter how strong Wei Xingshan is, he is just an ordinary person.
"Captain Liu." He Zihong said at this time, "Are you worried about Captain Wei and the others?"
"This all caused an earthquake." Liu Qing looked at it and muttered softly, "I really don't know what they are going through."
"It's always a good thing if there is movement." He Zihong said, "It's better than nothing."
"Yeah." Liu Qing nodded.
Just as they were talking, the two only heard the roar of the engine coming from a distance, and the supply vehicle arrived.
He Zihong and Liu Qing rushed out to meet them, and after a short wait, the brightness of the headlights of the car made them squint their eyes.
Actually, five armored vehicles were driven in!
Not to mention the five carts full of supplies, the mercenaries also brought a piece of news that was unclear whether it was good or bad.
At present, at the surface entrance of this underground space, the border guards who were originally guarding the entrance of the cave have been replaced by the Chinese side.
Because it is at the border, the number of people sent by China this time is still not many, the total number is no more than one hundred, but they are the most elite special forces commanders and fighters.
"Captain Liu, the Chinese commander on the ground asked me to give this to you." One of the mercenaries in charge of escorting supplies gave Liu Qing a wireless telegraph, "The channel has been adjusted."
Liu Qing took the intercom and pressed the call button: "Please speak."
"I am Lieutenant Colonel Wang Aiguo of the Special Forces of the Northern Military Region, please identify yourself." A thick and firm male voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"I am the deputy captain of the Asian Operations Team of the International Association for Biological Research, and former captain Liu Qing of the Special Forces of the Southern Military Region. Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Wang."
"Hello, Captain Liu. Our department is ordered by our superiors to take over the entrance of the underground passage. Please rest assured that our department will ensure the safety of the entrance of the underground passage. I sent a correspondent to follow the armored vehicle into the underground. If you have any requirements, just ask him. We will Be sure to be satisfied."
"Okay, thank you." Liu Qing turned off the call button.
"Hey, China is still responsible." He Zihong said with emotion.
"This kind of responsibility may not be a good thing for us." Liu Qing glanced at the old professor and said softly.
"What does this mean?" He Zihong asked puzzled.
"Professor He, didn't you hear clearly just now? They are not responsible for our safety, but the safety of the entrance of the underground passage."
"Is there any difference?"
"Of course there is a difference." Liu Qing said, "If you just want to know what we need at the scene, you can use the walkie-talkie to talk, but he sent someone down at the same time. I believe that once the situation in the ground gets out of control, this person will Will report to the surface immediately, and then they will fill the hole."
"This..." He Zihong was dumbfounded for a while.
"As a soldier, I can understand him doing this." Liu Qing sighed, "After all, we Chinese soldiers are responsible for the personal and property safety of the Chinese people. If the underground situation gets out of control and we don't have time to evacuate, blow up the entrance, maybe It's the best way. If it were me, I would do the same. Always plan for the worst when doing things."
Having said that, Liu Qing looked at He Zihong: "Professor He, I suggest you evacuate immediately."
"No, I can't leave, my students are still inside." He Zihong shook his head resolutely, "And in the research association, I am the highest here in terms of rank. At this time, everyone else can leave, but I can't. "
"Okay." Liu Qing nodded, looking outside the cave, "Then let's wait for them to come back together."
