The tent that Zi Yang and the others entered was supposed to be the headquarters. There was a lot of space inside, surrounded by various instruments, and several staff members were nervously busy. A large table in the middle is covered with a satellite map of the valley. The accuracy is high, and every farmer in the mountain village can be seen.
Lao Wang whispered to Zi Yang quietly, "A few animals have died, and they are in such a big battle, just like fighting. This surname Jin can also pretend to be coercive, and this can be done on the road, so I have to take us around for a long time... "
Zi Yang pretended to sit there without squinting, but his lips squirmed slightly, "Let's say a few words, people are all confidential, of course, you can't just tell people, soldiers, they must be more regular. It's like you. I can talk about it."
Although the conversation between the two was very mild, Jin Guoqiang heard it and gave them a stern look.
When they came along, Director Jin discovered that these two guys were not the same person as Professor Zhang, and they couldn't see any ability except for their strong gag ability—they were two little bastards. But it is not clear why Professor Zhang valued these two guys so much, and was quite polite along the way.
There was also the black boy, who looked dumbfounded and matched the temperament of the professor's two neurotic students. After coming in, he grabbed the biscuits on the table and ate himself, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
"This meeting involves a high degree of confidentiality. If you are not involved, please avoid it automatically." Jin Guoqiang's remarks were already very polite.
Zi Yang couldn't help it, got up to leave. Professor Zhang motioned him to sit down, and then "seriously" introduced the idlers he brought.
"These two people are my students and right-hand men. These two young men—" pointed at Lao Wang and Zi Yang, "don't look at their young age and have experienced a lot of things, maybe it will be helpful to this matter. ."
Zi Yang glanced at Professor Zhang with some gratitude. Although he was not interested in such confidential meetings, it was still a bit embarrassing to be kicked out in full view.
It was Pharaoh, sitting there with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at Director Jin provocatively. Although he was a short head, he still flicked his hair proudly and made an expression of peace of mind.
"It's really not afraid of death, you dare to smash this kind of person." Zi Yang was really worried for this guy with well-developed limbs and stubby head.
In fact, he still has a deeper worry in his heart. For such a high-level action, why should the professor bring the three of us with him? What is the motivation? It would seem too far-fetched to justify such an argument as "increase insights". Is it necessary to develop my admission? But I'm basically a waste of nothing. The idiot around me is only a little more developed in limbs, but the flaws in IQ are also very obvious.
Is it Xiao Hei? Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Hei, who was licking the cookie residue on his palm next to him.
Director Jin ignored the old Wang, turned his head to look at the general, and the general nodded in acquiescence.
Director Jin turned to a young man wearing glasses and said, "Go and print some confidentiality agreements."
The major general smiled and said, "Professor, don’t take offense. This matter is not a trivial matter. The level of confidentiality is top secret. Once everyone participates, they must strictly abide by the regulations and not divulge any information. Nowadays, young people like to surf the Internet and show off. I can’t wait to show off any novel things, my tortoise son is almost as old as them, alas..."
After the general said these words half-jokingly and half-seriously, Professor Zhang also smiled and understood. Zi Yang couldn't help but smile aside. Although Lao Wang was not accustomed to being serious, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of this low-bodied but majestic general.
In just such a short time, the guards had come in with a stack of non-disclosure agreements, and each of them had issued a copy. Zi Yang flipped through a few pictures casually, but didn't see the nervous ligatures clearly, only tremblingly wrote his name at the signature place.
The old Wang next door didn't care. He signed his name with flying phoenix, and then looked up at the crowd with his chest straight up, with a brave manner.
Zi Yang and Lao Wang both had aspirations to serve as soldiers since they were young. They also applied to the military academy together during the college entrance examination, but they were not able to do so because of insufficient conditions (background). Since then, seeing soldiers has a feeling of envy and resistance. Nowadays, seeing so many soldiers with sharp uniforms and high-level military ranks, I feel a sense of inferiority spontaneously. I feel that I am a broken college student, and I feel ashamed in front of others.
Director Jin cleared his throat and said, "The situation I'm talking about is top secret. Except for those present today, it is not allowed to mention it to any outsider on any occasion, at any time."
On the big screen behind him, slides began to play.
"Qinhan Village has 278 registered households, 1072 people, 388 adult men, 356 adult women..."
"With the river as the boundary, to the south of the river, there are enough creatures to extinct collectively. The time of death is three o'clock in the morning on X, X, X."
Zi Yang's head buzzed. He didn't know what the specific concept of a footed creature was, but biological extinction was a very serious word. The seriousness of the situation can be imagined from the mouth of a soldier-no wonder there will be a village entrance Guards stand guard.
Lao Wang also had an expression of dementia with his mouth open. In modern society, is there such a large-scale collective affairs? Not only is it unseen, it is simply unheard of.
Guidance Jin’s introduction sounded one after another, including how many cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and dogs. The number was clear. All died collectively. The time of death was concentrated at three in the morning.
Professor Zhang quickly wrote something in his notebook while flipping through the information in his hand. The general lighted a cigarette, put his hands on his chest and did not speak, his face was buried behind the smoke, his expression could not be seen clearly.
Zi Yang looked at Lao Wang in disbelief: "Do you understand what it means?"
Lao Wang nodded, swallowed and said, "I understand, everyone who can pant is dead."
Director Jin used the remote control to play the slideshow, and continued, “According to the site survey, most of the animal carcasses are stiff, their limbs are twisted, and there are blood stains on their gums. Creatures of several square kilometers have this symptom, and the scale of destruction. At first, we thought it was a kind of biochemical WQ."
Professor Zhang shook his head and muttered to himself, "No, I have carefully observed the scene. According to the information currently published internationally, no biochemistry will cause such symptoms, and no similar cases have been seen in many poisonings."
The general nodded and said, "The reason why we made this judgment is that based on the evidence collection, the time of death was very uniform. Second, there was no trace of fighting or resistance at the scene. No radiation residue was detected nearby."
"What makes us even more puzzling is that after an autopsy, it was found that there were no chemical residues in the corpse. There were not even any fatal injuries."
Professor Zhang nodded, "Are there any changes in air composition and climate data?"
Instructor Jin said: "I have been tested as soon as I came, and everything is normal."
Turning his head to face the staff operating the instrument and said: "Report real-time data."
"Air composition is normal", "temperature is normal", "humidity is normal", "abnormal radiation is not detected"...
Instructor Jin nodded, "With the command post as the center, we have installed multiple monitoring and sensing devices within a radius of 1 kilometer, and the data will be sent back in real time."
Lao Wang nodded thoughtfully, "I take the liberty to ask, I heard that some foreign organizations have mastered very high-end military technology. It is said that there is a sonic weapon that can blow the entire village to death in an instant, isn't it? …"
Director Jin and the general shook their heads decisively, "Impossible, with the current level of sonic weapons, if we want to achieve this scale of killing, it will definitely cause very obvious physical damage, but no matter whether it is the corpse or the surrounding environment, Corresponding traces of damage were found."
Zi Yang took a look at Pharaoh. He didn't have enough knowledge, so don't just talk casually. You are embarrassed here.
Director Jin continued, "It stands to reason that the corpse should decay quickly in this weather, but there is no obvious status quo of decay."
"In other words, most of the microorganisms were also killed?" Zi Yang couldn't help but asked, "Don't the villagers on the other side find anything unusual?"
Instructor Jin glanced at him, "Initially it was reported by the villagers. After receiving the report, the township also attached great importance to the report. After seeing the scene, they found that the situation was serious, took photos and faxed them to the county, and then reported them to the city, Province... Because of the seriousness and particularity of the situation, and out of the need for confidentiality, the case was finally transferred to us after several changes of hands."
Director Jin paused and said, "Qinhan Village is not too far away from the border. Considering that the national security may be involved, we first sent a special operation team to control the scene. While surveying, we also conducted investigations among the villagers. As a result, It's disappointing."
"Everything was normal on the night of the incident. The villagers generally kept livestock and poultry in the wild, and there has never been a special situation. It was not until the next morning when a villager was crossing a bridge and mowing grass. Exception."
"The villagers here are not used to communicating with outsiders, and they all speak a very difficult dialect. We have limited information and are still under monitoring and investigation. From the current situation, it is not the villagers' work."
The general groaned, "Two days have passed. The most senior experts and veterinarians in China were unable to explain this phenomenon. We also contacted some scientists through various channels and showed them some relevant information, but none of them was accurate. answer."
"So, in the end, we had to turn to Professor Zhang. Now the possibility of various speculations is getting lower and lower, and there is a possibility that it is getting bigger and bigger—" Professor Zhang and the general looked at each other and said a few words at the same time. The mysterious power of nature."
