Not long after the mutation, when he was exploring the method of guiding the mutation through repeated training to strengthen the sensory abilities such as smell and hearing, Xiang Kun often wandered around the roads and alleys in the middle of the night to train his senses, because in the dead of night, there was relatively little interference.

Later, Xiang Kun was involved in a robbery because he called the police, and when Officer Chen and they retrieved the surrounding video to investigate, they accidentally discovered that he did not sleep in the middle of the night and "patrolled the streets" all night. Fortunately, at that time, the suspect had been identified and arrested, and Xiang Kun already had a preconceived impression of "a sense of justice" from Officer Chen, so after being admonished, it did not cause any follow-up trouble.

But since then, Xiang Kun has paid special attention to monitoring or something.

At the beginning, he could only discover the surveillance of various places by observing and watching more. Every time you want to do something that you are worried about being traced to your identity, you must step on the spot in advance to make sure that you can know each monitoring point, even if you can't avoid it completely, you must avoid being photographed in the face, or try to cover up other people, cars or objects.

In order to better find the monitoring and avoid the monitoring, Xiang Kun found a lot of information, and he knew a lot about the models, functions, data, and various related security equipment of various monitoring.

And now, relying on more and stronger sensory abilities, brain analysis capabilities, and especially infrared thermal imaging vision patterns, he can basically detect in advance from a distance, no matter how hidden the camera is.

This is true in cities full of electronic devices, and even more so in the mountains.

At this time, Xiang Kun observed very clearly that in the mountains and forests in the distance, there were multiple camera equipment, and they were all in operation.

Xiang Kun knows that many inaccessible mountain forests, or protected areas with special protected animals, often have infrared trigger cameras from the forestry department to photograph and record wild animals. Just like he had seen the kind of camera arranged on the trees before he was in the Qinling Mountains no man's land, before he went deep into the activity area of the mutant spider.

But judging from the operational characteristics he observed, the cameras he saw now were not the infrared-triggered cameras of the forestry department, or other common equipment.

According to Xiang Kun's judgment, these equipment should be arranged for a short time, or even just arranged, after all, this is very close to the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area, and there are still frequent tourists coming. Those devices are left unattended, and they can be easily lost or damaged.

Could it be that Micho or some other "supernatural tech" person arranged it?

After all, this area is not far from the location where the tourists they know to have photographed the "big bird".

In the field of view of Xiangkun's infrared thermal imaging mode, there is no camera equipment distributed near the object composed of small blue dots in the distance and the suspected mutated creature.

However, if those cameras have infrared detection capabilities, then judging from their distribution, the mutated creatures may be photographed on the way to that location from the air or the ground.

And since these camera devices are always working at night, it is normal for them to have infrared detection function.

Xiang Kun knew that in the infrared thermal imaging vision mode, the reason why the mutated creatures would be so obvious was not only because of the temperature. His body temperature, Guo Tianxiang's body temperature, the giant owl's body temperature, and the mutant spider's body temperature are all different, and they are not all in the same area, not to mention the existence of mutant plants.

Obviously, in addition to relying on various wavelengths of infrared rays to visualize, his special infrared thermal imaging vision mode also includes certain judgment conditions that are only related to mutated organisms.

With a general infrared thermal imaging device, it is not difficult to "see" mutated organisms, but it is not so easy to "notice" them.

In addition to the camera equipment, Xiang Kun also noticed that there were several drones operating high in the sky in the distance, but they were far away from the suspected mutated creature, and they seemed to be searching everywhere.

These drones are all out of Xiang Kun's line of sight, and he relies on sound to determine their existence. However, the noise of these drones is significantly smaller than that of conventional civilian drones, even in the dead of night, and in the already relatively quiet mountains and forests, at this distance, ordinary people can't hear any movement at all.

If the drone and those camera equipment are arranged by the same group of people, then it can be inferred from the range of the drone in the search that the person behind the camera equipment is likely not to have found the suspected mutant creature, otherwise the drone should be in the air near the "big bird".

But since they have camera equipment in this area, there must be a reason.

Of course, the camera equipment and drones may not be arranged by the same group of people, after all, the drones have been arranged to search, and the few camera equipment seems to be of little significance.

Xiang Kun shifted his position again, moving some distance higher to get a better field of vision, and carefully distinguishing the suspected mutated creature through the night vision mode and thermal imaging mode.

Judging from the form, there is a ninety percent probability that it is the "big bird" that was photographed by tourists before.

It should have been on the morning of the 18th, the mutant creature that caused tourists to fall off the cliff in Zhufeng, Wushu Mountain.

If so, why is it still here?

Xiang Kun didn't think that it would use this as a habitat and be ready to stay here for a long time.

Xiang Kun knows very well that these mutated creatures have a lot of wisdom. Unless they were going to hunt humans for blood, it would be foolish to be close to a human settlement.

It lingers here and now, and there must be some other reason.

Xiang Kun thought of the "mutant ant", this "big bird" has been staying, looking like it is "waiting infatuously", is it for it? It is true that it has not been able to succeed? Otherwise, it should now shrink into the deep mountains and old forests or other remote places to digest the blood it has ingested, and mutate and evolve.

For mutated creatures, it seems that the only way to get them to behave against the established pattern is to drink blood.

Perhaps, just like Xiang Kun's previous speculation, it is also the giant owl that Xiang Kun encountered at the beginning, and it has begun to have a rigid need for the blood of other mutated creatures?

Xiang Kun's eyes began to wander around again, wondering if the target of the "big bird" was the "mutant ant", then it would not search around, but stay here, could it be because it knew that the hiding place of the "mutant ant" was here, or knew that there was something here that the "mutant ant" could not give up, and it would inevitably come back?

Thinking of the underground "nest" that seemed to be an anthill where the strong smell of mutant creatures was found before, Xiang Kun couldn't help but guess that it couldn't be burrowing underground now, right?

So the "big bird" is comparing patience with the "mutant ants" to see who can't withstand the bloodthirsty needs of the bloodthirsty period first?

Xiang Kun quietly observed and thought from a distance, the enhancement of sensory ability has such benefits, he can always take the lead, and whether he advances or retreats is up to him.

If it is an area like the Qinling Mountains that is far away from people, and there is more time and preparation, and the weather conditions can support him to "fly with electricity", Xiang Kun may try to capture the "mutated big bird".

But in this situation, he naturally wouldn't directly provoke the big bird.

Xiang Kun sensed the 3x3cm piece of paper left in Michiona and found that it was not far from here, just in the parking lot of the scenic spot.

He didn't continue to stare at the "big bird" hidden in the trees, but followed the direction of the sense.

......

In one of the parking lots in the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area, two black vans and an MPV are parked side by side.

Miqiao and Fang Pingfang sat together in the compartment of one of the vans, looking at the surveillance screens in front of them. Among them, there are not only low-light night vision mode pictures, but also infrared thermal imaging images, some are transmitted back by drones, and some are transmitted back by the camera equipment arranged in the afternoon.

At noon, Ye Chong got the news that after a tourist photographed a "big bird" somewhere, they went to the field to investigate.

Originally, they didn't have much hope, but what they didn't expect was that after arriving in that area, they really found a lot of traces.

They did not find the droppings, feathers, or other body tissues of the "big bird", but they did find a large number of broken branches, trunks, as if the ground had been unintentionally shoveled by an excavator, and various claw marks left on it, which looked shocking. If it weren't for the premise that they were already looking for the "big bird", just seeing those traces, they would probably subconsciously make up some chaotic horror monsters.

Micho believes that those traces are what the "big bird" is fighting with, and Fang Pingfang thinks that the "big bird" may have made its own traces in some kind of manic state.

However, they all agreed that the "big bird" would probably return to that area.

So in the afternoon, they asked Ye Chong, who was in charge of logistics and information support, to apply for equipment, and then contacted "Mr. Liang", uploaded the on-site pictures and videos taken, and asked him to arrange a fully configured drone search team to come over.

However, the meaning of "Mr. Liang" is that the equipment will be transferred to them immediately, but the search team will not need it for the time being, just a few of them. Of course, drone-related technical support personnel will be sent over and deployed by Ye Chong.

He had never actually carried out a field survey mission, but he had only heard Fang Pingfang talk about his experience in the Qinling Mountains, and Miqiao originally thought that a group of people would enter the mountains tonight to assist the drone in the exploration.

But what I didn't expect was that in the afternoon, two vans drove the equipment to the technicians, but told them that they only needed to stay in the car, directly through the equipment in the car to set the route of the drone inspection, through the screen in the car to see the picture transmitted back by the drone, it will automatically lock the type of animal scanned, as for the obstacle avoidance, etc., are automatically completed, and do not need to be manually controlled.

However, the range of activity of these drones is still limited, and the search range cannot be too far, not because of the performance or technical problems of the drones, but because their drone activity altitude is more than 120 meters, and they need licenses and permits.

"Dr. Fang, when you say it comes back, will it spot the drone first and be scared away?" said Micho as he looked at the pictures on the screen with some boredom.

"When it finds the drone, the drone should spot it first. Fang Pingfang said.

"What are we going to do with it if we find it?" asked Micho again, fiddling with the drones for a while when they arrived in the afternoon, and didn't see any devices from above that could help catch birds and beasts.

"We don't have to worry about this, when the time comes, 'Mr. Liang' will consider it, and the specific implementation is also Ye Chong and Team Leader Li. Fang Pingfang said.

Glancing at the closed carriage door, Mi Qiao suddenly changed the subject: "Dr. Fang, how is the investigation of the footprints you found in the Qinling Mountains?"

In fact, even if the traces of the "big bird" had been found, and there were other suspected evidence of the existence of mutated "blood-eating creatures", Mi Qiao, like Fang Pingfang, was more interested in the rabbit wood carving in the basement laboratory of the main building of a research center of "Shenxing Technology" in Anti Town, and the various visions it displayed.

She felt that the rabbit wood carving should be related to the owner of the footprints that Fang Pingfang had found in the Qinling Mountains.

She guessed that the owner of the footprints and the person who made the rabbit wood carving should be a "vampire" like Guo Tianxiang, and the wild boar found by the late anchor surnamed Xue and others was sucked blood by him in a special way. It was a "vampire" with different living habits and mutation directions from Guo Tianxiang, a "blood-eating creature" that had returned to its "wildness".

Because she had been in contact with Guo Tianxiang, she knew that "vampires" had some special abilities, such as hypnosis that made her also tricked. However, the anomalies related to the wood carving described by Fang Pingfang were somewhat beyond her comprehension. Whether it's the chaos of dreams, or the hallucinations of reality, or the influence of the lights and computers in the laboratory, it is difficult to give a plausible explanation.

A wood carving, a dead thing, how can you do this?

After listening to Fang Pingfang's description yesterday, she even had a thought - could the "vampire" who lived in the cave in the uninhabited area of the Qinling Mountains find some way to turn his body into that "rabbit wood carving"?

Of course, this was just a momentary brain hole, and she knew that this idea was too whimsical to be possible, but it was precisely because of this that she became more and more curious about what secrets were on the wood carving.

"I can roughly judge the height and weight of the owner of the footprints, I only know that it should be a man of about 1.9 meters, a big fat man, and ...... age of more than 20 years" Fang Pingfang was saying, her brows suddenly furrowed, looking at the rows of screens in the carriage, and said, "What are they doing?"

Micho also noticed the vision on the screen, red dots converging from all directions, like a sparse stream of red light tearing open the night sky, rushing away in the same direction.

Not only did several cameras set up in the mountains capture the scene, but drones patrolling the sky also lock the camera on the red dots.

The voice of Zhou Rui from another car came from the walkie-talkie: "Dr. Fang, Miss Chen, do you see it? Those birds seem to be crazy?"

Yes, those clusters of red dots are birds, all kinds of birds.

Neither Fang Pingfang nor Mi Qiao could answer this question, and they just stared at the screen, watching the behavior of the birds.

The birds gathered together, flew in one direction for a while, and then suddenly "exploded" and scattered.

Wushu Mountain is one of the most abundant areas in the world with birdman resources, and it is not surprising that there are many birds, but what is strange is their sudden and strange behavior.

"What are they doing?" Zhou Rui's puzzled voice came from the walkie-talkie.

Fang Pingfang seemed to have discovered something, and asked Ye Chong to control the drone camera to manually lock an area.

Looking at the picture on the surveillance screen, Micho also sighed lightly: "What is that?"

In the infrared image, there is a dark red mass that is not very obvious in the black shade representing the trees. If it weren't for the flock of birds that had just flown over and suddenly dispersed in that spot, none of them had noticed.

The imaging system locks onto the object hidden in the tree and "labels" it in green to make it instantly visible.

"What is this?"

"It's a leopard? No, there are no leopards here. ”

"It's supposed to be a bird, a big bird. ”

"Is this the bird we're looking for?"

"Possibly. ”

"Why is it so cold?"

Miqiao and Fang Pingfang both stared at the motionless creature on the screen with a look of surprise, a little confused as to what it was.

You must know that the body temperature of birds is generally higher than that of mammals, usually at 38.5~42 °C, so in their current infrared thermal imaging imaging system, it is very conspicuous, as if the group of birds just flew up and attracted their attention.

"Let the drone not get too close and take a look at it with low-light night vision. Mi Qiao said to Ye Chong on the walkie-talkie.

Soon, they determined that the creature that had just been locked down and hid in the mountains and forests was a big bird!

It's just that why the big bird's body temperature is so low, and when it started hiding there, they don't know.

"Be careful, don't disturb it, and see if 'Mr. Liang' is online!" Micho said with some excitement, and then tried to contact "Mr. Liang" with the equipment in the car. In fact, as long as the drone is working, "Mr. Liang" has the right to access the drone's camera equipment at any time.

Dozens of meters away from the parking lot, next to a big tree in the mountain forest, Xiang Kun heard that the two vans and MPVs were lively all of a sudden, and even the people who were sleeping and waiting to get up to "change shifts" now woke up early, and he was also quite looking forward to it:

Next, you can see how the people of "Divine Technology" deal with mutated creatures.

He had just followed the sniffing of the pieces of paper in Micho's bag to the edge of the parking lot, and had been listening for nearly half an hour, and when he knew that they hadn't really found the "big bird", he couldn't calm down - he didn't want to waste the whole night lying around stupidly.

So he began to think about how to make the two sides "spark", so as not to make the night too quiet and boring.

He thought of several options, and even thought of going over to get the "big bird" to pay attention to it himself, and then luring it over for Micho and them to find out.

But in this process, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not be discovered by Micho, Dr. Fang, or other people from "Shenxing Technology", after all, there are many drones cruising in the air around. Once noticed, even if you can run away on the spot, there will be trouble in the future, and there will be hidden dangers of revealing your identity.

So in the end, he adopted the plan of climbing a tree to catch a bird, and then using "spiritual shock" on it.

With the emergence and enhancement of the sixth sense, with the increase in the number of mutations and evolutions, and with his understanding of the abilities of "emotional assimilation", "mental shock", and "supersensory state", the effect of his current "spiritual shock" has also changed greatly from the beginning. Just like at Chang Bin's wedding, he can even use the "combination technique" of "spiritual shock" and "projection and appearance" to achieve a certain degree of hypnosis.

Now, although he can't directly use "mental shock" to control other animals or give them clear orders, he can still get them to do some specific behaviors through some skills and methods.

For example, the bird was released after being "mentally shocked" by Xiang Kun, but forced to flee in a certain direction.

And a large number of birds around, affected by the group effect of "spiritual shock", all have the same emotions and impulses as that bird, and run there together.

They flew for a long time, flew directly over the hidden position of the "big bird", and then after sensing the deterrence of the "big bird", they were forced to flee in all directions.

With such a vision, Xiang Kun believed that it was time to attract Micho's attention. Of course, it would be better if the "big bird" was also affected by the flock and moved.

Xiang Kun's position at this time was already far away from the "big bird", and there was a mountain in the middle, and he couldn't see it at all. But now his attention is on Micho, Dr. Fang, and the rest of the "Divine Tech" people - the ball is passed, and it's up to them to perform!
