Pingzhou, High Oak City.
High Oak City is a small city in Pingzhou, with the same area and population as Yungu City, but it is the area with the fastest increase in the number of abnormal cases since the outbreak.
Ma Pengfei, as the leader of the city's special investigation team, has been completely dizzy these days, and has not had a good sleep for several days and nights.
After receiving the notification from the headquarters from the State Special Commissioning Center, he originally thought that his superiors had developed the latest weapon to deal with anomalies, and he was really happy.
He greeted the brothers and quickly sifted all the abnormal information collected before, especially the pictures and images, and then packaged them and passed them up.
According to the idea of dealing with anomalies, Ma Pengfei believes that the headquarters is most likely to develop a weapon that can locate and track attacks.
The feedback from the headquarters was very quick, and the "weapons" were delivered in only three days.
Ma Pengfei immediately greeted the brothers to accept the goods and open the seal. After opening it, he was a little dumbfounded, and saw that the box was full of packed wood carvings.
These wooden sculptures are lifelike, and he saw a few anomalies that the special investigation team was investigating recently.
"How do you make so many unusual wood carvings, are you going to sell it?" one of the special adjusters asked wondering.
Arriving with the woodcarving, there are also express items from the headquarters.
Ma Pengfei did not speak, but immediately opened it and took a look. His eyes were like bronze bells, and he muttered to himself: "Use wood carvings to contain the anomaly?!"
"How to contain?" Wan Jun, the deputy team leader next to him, moved his head and asked while looking at the urgent item.
"It is said that you can contain the anomaly by touching it with a woodcarving!" Ma Pengfei looked at the text in his hand, not even believing what he said.
"This is the headquarters..." Wan Jun picked up one of the wooden sculptures that looked like an old woman. "Just touch Granny Meng with this thing to contain her?"
Mother-in-Law is an abnormality that has only recently appeared. It often appears after people fall asleep in the evening. Her characteristic is that as long as she stands by the bed of the target human, she will have nightmares regardless of how many people are lying down, and follow the dream. The scenes randomly generate body conditioned reflexes.
When this reflection reaches a certain level, the human mind will fall into chaos, resulting in suicidal, crazy, and uncontrolled behaviors of the body.
That is to say, it is very likely that you will kill yourself in your sleep.
The image of the mother-in-law Meng was all taken by the surveillance system of a target's home. This weird old woman always buckled her back, her gray hair was loose, her face was saggy, and she looked particularly terrifying in the surveillance video.
Because I was walking around the house all the time at the beginning, I was monitored and filmed from different angles, and the formed images were also richer.
It's easy to touch this dream mother with a woodcarving, because the special adjustment team has mastered the law of the abnormal appearance and knows where she will choose as the target recently.
It’s just that some of the human beings who were invaded by her in the dream have already suffered from mental disorders. They suspect that the dream mother is still in control of those people, so they have not dared to attack her directly, for fear that the people under her control will happen serious consequence.
If you just touch Granny Meng with a woodcarving to contain her, then this case could not be too simple. Let a special dispatcher sneak into the target room and wait beforehand, and then find a chance to touch this anomaly with a wood carving, get it
"I always feel unreliable, what's the matter with the headquarters?" Ma Pengfei was surprised.
"Yes, even if it is really effective, is this method effective for every anomaly with different characteristics?" Wan Jun also nodded.
A few days later.
In a dark alley, at the entrance of the alley crouched five or six special dispatchers.
These special agents held their breath one by one, quietly observing a trash can in the alley, when a khaki-coloured dog with stray hair was shoveling something in the rubbish pile.
Not long after, the yellow dog bit an object in one bite, took two steps back, and dragged the object out of the trash.
After careful identification, it turned out to be a corpse.
This corpse was dressed in a suit that had been bitten torn and was a bit fat, unlike the scavengers who died of freezing or starvation here.
After the yellow dog dragged the corpse out, he looked left and right humanely. When he turned his head towards the entrance of the alley, he could clearly see that the dog's eyes were scarlet, and they looked fierce.
Salivation ran down the corners of the mouth. After the yellow dog found no danger, it quickly lowered its head and began to gnaw on the fat corpse on the ground. The gnawing movement was very fast. After a few mouthfuls, the man in the suit lost half of his chest cavity.
This yellow dog, named "Scorpion Dog", has been around for more than half a month in Lushan City. After selecting the target, it will follow and kill the target quietly.
It may choose several targets in one night, and after biting them to death, when they cannot finish eating, they will bury them, and then eat them in order.
This fat man in a suit was killed last night. He had been dead for two hours when he was discovered by the special investigation team, and he was buried under the heavy rubbish in this large trash can by a corpse dog.
At this moment, all the special dispatchers clenched their fists tightly, staring at the terrifying corpse dog without blinking, staring in the direction of the big trash can.
The corpse dog's chewing sound sounds harsh, but if you don't look at it, you think it's a stray dog eating bones and minced meat found in the garbage dump.
Not long after, the corpse dog's alertness gradually lowered, and his attention was basically shifted to the delicious corpse in front of him.
His head slowly approached the innermost part of the big trash can, and half of his head was almost completely inserted into the fat man's chest.
At this moment, one of the special dispatchers waiting at the entrance of the alley suddenly snorted, as if he was saying something, and as if it was just a suppressed sneeze.
The corpse dog who was eating it immediately turned his head and cast his eyes alertly towards the entrance of the alley, but at almost the same moment, the trash pile under the body of the fat man in the suit suddenly moved suddenly, and a special dispatcher who had been lurking here suddenly suddenly moved. Sitting up covered in blood, one thing in his hand quickly slid into the corpse dog who was looking towards the alley.
The object in his hand is exactly a wooden sculpture, a wooden sculpture that does not differ in any way from the appearance of a corpse dog.
At the moment when the wood carving just touched the left front leg of the corpse dog, the corpse dog in front of him shook violently, as if he felt the fear and wanted to escape.
But under the pull, its left front leg could no longer leave the woodcarving. Instead, it was quickly pulled in by the woodcarving, leaving only some blood stains on the surface of the woodcarving.
Although this scene was considered in advance, when the wood carving quickly absorbed the corpse dog, all the hidden special team members were still stunned.
Especially the man lurking under the corpse, holding the wood carving in his hand at the moment, he could feel the wood carving slightly vibrate, and that horrible, cunning and difficult to capture and kill the corpse dog was thus contained? !
Not long after, all the hidden special casters ran out, four or five bright flashlights lit up, illuminating the surroundings of the trash can transparently and brightly.
"Take it in! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"This thing, is it so special that it can contain anomalies directly?!"
"Damn! I thought the corpse dog was going to run again, and even the guy who was ready almost pulled it out."
"Let me see, will it come out of the woodcarving again?"
Suddenly, the whole garbage alley was filled with surprise and curiosity.
If these special agents are allowed to arrest or kill the corpse dogs, it may take several days, or even go through a fierce fight.
Because the corpse dog's reaction power is too fast, and regular damage can't kill it. As long as the damage to it is not continuous, its recovery speed can almost in turn exceed the speed of being injured.
According to the speculation of the special team, this guy's strength level should be at least medium to high, but because of the appearance of a dog, the characteristics have become more weird.
Just touching the opponent to catch the target, this scene is something that all the special modifiers present can't even think of.
After a while, the wood carving was looked at several times in the hands of each special dispatcher. They were surprised to find that the wood carving had only absorbed the anomaly, but it looked unremarkable and nothing unusual at all.
"If you block the scene, you can notify the sheriff to come." A man who seemed to be the leader ordered.
"Then what about this woodcarving?" the others asked.
The lead man replied: "What else can I do? The headquarters' order, once the containment is successful, immediately blockade and return to the headquarters."
…
Inside the dim living room room.
A regular snoring sounded from the direction of the bedroom, and the owner of this house was obviously already asleep.
The time displayed at the moment is 3:15 am.
But in a dark shadow in the living room stood a person, an old woman with a curved back, long gray hair draped, and her whole body chubby, standing in front of the sofa.
Although standing there all the time, the old woman looked like a dead person, with no ups and downs in her body.
The special modifier who was lying in the ** pretending to snore was very nervous at the moment. In his headset covered by the pillow, the sound of mosquitoes and flies came out, which was covered by his own snore at the right time.
The voice in the headset said: "Mengma is still standing in the living room, you continue to pretend to sleep, don't move or turn over for the time being."
The one who pretended to be the wife of the special dispatcher was also a young female special dispatcher, who was also pretending to be sleeping at the moment, and the two cooperated closely.
At this moment, surveillance cameras are installed in several important corners of the room, and the sound in the headset is the specific location of the dream mother obtained by looking at the camera.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the voice in the headset came again: "She moved, moving towards the bedroom. Pay attention to the time and protect yourself."
The male special dispatcher who was snoring raised his throat with a heart and tried to keep his breathing steady. He continued to snor, and he didn't dare to squint his eyes. The voice in the camera was all in command.
At this time, the "wife" lying next to him also received the news.
Not long after, a slight footstep sounded at the bedroom door.
The sound is very soft and very soft, if it is asleep, it is not audible.
But at this moment, the two pretending to be sleeping special agents are highly concentrated, so they can hear clearly, because they have seen the video material of the dream mother, at this moment they can even draw a picture of the dream mother in their minds by the sound they heard The figure walking upside down crookedly.
After waiting for a while, the footsteps stopped beside the male special dispatcher, and there was no movement.
At this time, the male special dispatcher did not dare to open his eyes, and the tension in his heart became stronger and stronger. He felt that the old woman was bending over, putting her face on top of him, and watching carefully.
But at this moment, a strong drowsiness descended without warning, and the two special dispatchers suddenly felt their thoughts empty instantly, and their entire bodies seemed to be bathed in warm water, with indescribable comfort spreading over their bodies.
The sense of autonomy was fading rapidly, and at this moment, the voice of Captain Ma Pengfei came from the headset, and the voice increased significantly.
"It's now, do it!"
The male special dispatcher was suddenly excited, and his eyes opened. He first felt a brief sense of confusion, and then fully awake, wanting to stretch his hand out of the bed, and at this moment, the corner of the wood carving he was holding was exposed under the bed.
But in the next second, he was taken aback for a moment, and saw that the person standing by his bed was not the mother-in-law, but a slender, beautiful young woman with only looming strands on her body.
The young woman leaned down, and a scent of fragrance rushed toward her face, but suddenly her body trembled violently and screamed.
The picture in front of him collapsed, and the male special dispatcher suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he had fallen asleep just now, but he hadn't really woke up at all.
The young and beautiful woman she saw in her dream was still the mother-in-law dreaming of her body.
At this moment, the mother-in-law Meng screamed violently, her body was being quickly absorbed by a wooden sculpture, and her body was completely pulled and deformed.
And this wooden sculpture was grasped by a hand protruding from the closet behind.
The quilt was uncovered, and the male special dispatcher lying in the sex also had a wooden sculpture of Granny Dream in his hands, and the one who hid in the closet in advance to shield his breath also had the same wooden sculpture in his hand.
Because Mother Meng’s abilities are very weird and her dreaming situation is special, what they requested from the headquarters when they submitted their application was for two wooden sculptures of Mother Meng.
Soon Mother-in-law Meng was taken in by the woodcarving, the closet door opened, and Wan Jun, the deputy head of the special dispatch team of Gaoxiang City, walked out.
The female special dispatcher who was forced to fall asleep also woke up, and everyone stared at the wooden sculpture in Wan Jun's hand in surprise.
"This thing... It's so easy to use! It's an artifact!" Wan Jun said to the head of the headset Ma Pengfei.
"From now on, no matter what method is adopted, we will immediately collect the image data in all the abnormal cases we have, and report it to the headquarters as soon as possible." Ma Pengfei said: "Look at other anomalies that we already have woodcarvings separately, and catch them. Contain one by one."
Heshan City.
Gu Fei and Ding Wenying sat in the secret room, staring at the seven wood sculptures they received this time.
Among the seven wooden sculptures above, two have already contained the anomalous target. There was no abnormality after 24 hours of containment, showing complete tolerance.
Looking at the remaining five uncontained wood carvings, Gu Fei swallowed his saliva and said, "Have you contacted Shen Xing?"
"Contacted yesterday." Ding Wenying nodded, "I asked him to complete the list of exceptions that we submitted first."
"As long as we speak, I believe he will not refuse." Gu Fei nodded.
"No, he refused." Ding Wenying said.
Gu Fei: "..."
Ding Wenying explained: "Now all the abnormal lists have to go through three levels of screening, that is, my demand list has reached Shen Xing, and the uncertainty has become completely unrecognizable. And..."
"And what?" Gu Fei was surprised.
"Shen Xing told me that Vice Minister Wan of the Special Headquarters, Minister Pei of the Public Security Headquarters, as well as Director Wang of the City Hall and Director Qin of the Kuazhou Civil Affairs Department are calling him. All kinds of relationships should be obtained first. The right to order wood carvings.” Ding Wenying shrugged, “Shen Xing’s phone number has been restricted from incoming calls, and his work team has picked up on his behalf, so I can’t contact him directly.”
Gu Fei sighed lightly: "This kid, with stiff wings, already has his own work team. When I was his age, I was still under the team." (End of this chapter)
