Chapter 141: The Stone Pillar of the Monument
Altai Tavanbogdor National Park Police Station, 2nd floor conference room.
Now this conference room has become Yang Tuo's special area, where food, accommodation and work are all located.
The conference table has long been carried away and replaced by various instruments and equipment.
At this moment, the instrument was still running, but Yang Tuo was sleeping on the side.
After the threat of a nuclear strike was removed, his nerves, which had been tense, loosened and his body came to the door with an account.
Yang Tuo must have been a long battle, and he still needs to stay here for a while, so he doesn't dare to slack off on his body.
Before the nuclear bomb, he didn't dare to rest, but now when it's time to rest, he can rest for a while.
Not long after falling asleep, the satellite phone at hand rang.
After answering the call from Wei Xingshan, the original thunderous and calm expression on Yang Tuo's face finally changed.
He was a little confused and hesitant.
After thinking for a while, Yang Tuo scolded "Lin Shuo, you bastard", then picked up the phone again, pressed a few buttons, and said to the other end of the phone: "Pick me up from the International Biological Research Association, He Zihong." ”
Dozens of seconds later, He Zihong's dissatisfied voice came: "Little bastard, I just fell asleep!"
Yang Tuo smiled, he knew that the efficiency of the International Biological Research Society in Geneva had always been extremely low.
With so many biological authorities in so many countries, all of whom have written on the same page, and each has its own mountain, it has never been easy to get them to reach a consensus.
This time to take out the nuclear bomb over the Altai Mountains, this group of people can be so efficient, He Zihong should have contributed a lot.
The old man must have been exhausted.
"Teacher, then you go back to sleep, I'll hang up. Yang Tuo said these words, but his hand kept holding the phone, and he didn't mean to hang up.
"Don't be pretentious with me, just say it. He Zihong said, "What's going on over there?"
"It's a little tricky. But after I thought about it, it was more convenient for the teacher. "As far as I know, Dilan didn't appear in the Altai Mountains by chance, she has been here for more than half a year. Teacher, I wonder why she is here. Can you help me investigate?"
"What are you suspicious?" asked Ho Zihong.
"Teacher, you know my character, I never doubt anything, I just have a natural curiosity about all kinds of possibilities. "That's why I do scientific research." ”
He Zihong was silent for a while, and then said on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll help you check this matter." ”
"Teacher, please investigate secretly, and only tell me the results of the investigation. Yang Tuo reminded.
"I'm in my own way. He Zihong said a word and hung up the phone.
Yang Tuo put down the satellite phone, thought for a while, and couldn't help but think of the first time he met Dilan.
That was 10 years ago.
At that time, Dilan and the current Dilan looked different, in fact, in terms of Yang Tuo's own aesthetics, he liked her appearance at that time.
At that time, she was only sixteen years old, slim and elegant, but in the first class of the university, she stumped a sixty-year-old professor academically.
The question she asked, Yang Tuo was the top science student in the college entrance examination in the populous province in the central part of the country at that time, and he couldn't understand it.
Her unfathomable and unrelenting state is still vivid in Yang Tuo's mind.
Since then, this girl has lit up a red light in Yang Tuo's mind. In the two years of studying for a bachelor's degree in China, Yang Tuo has kept a distance from her.
Because he realized that this woman was a nuisance.
Unexpectedly, after going around for more than ten years, this trouble finally came.
......
Lin Shuo and the others continued to go deeper in this forest, and it had come to the third day.
The calm of the previous few days made this hunt seem like a jungle tour.
But on the afternoon of Wei Xingshan's call to Yang Tuo, Zhang Jin, who had been exploring the way in front of him, had been thinking that he was following up too slowly and was faintly out of touch with the large army, suddenly slowed down.
Zhang Jin was so slow, the people behind him were used to the speed of the first two days, and they caught up unconsciously, and the formation of the entire team was compressed.
The distance between the front, middle and back lines gradually changed from about 50 meters to 5 or 6 meters.
Seeing that the backs of the two beauties in front of him were within reach, Wei Xingshan felt a little strange and asked, "Lao Lin, why did Zhang Jin slow down." ”
"You're an old scout, too. Lin Shuo gave him a blank look, "Do you still need to ask? There must be a situation." ”
"Of course I know this, the question is, what's the situation?" Wei Xingshan asked.
Lin Shuo twitched his nose, reconfirmed the smell information around him, and then said, "We are surrounded. ”
"What's around us?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"Wolves. Lin Shuo said.
"It was the wolves. Wei Xingshan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's nothing, we should go into their territory." ”
This man clearly remembers that the wolves surrounded the mountain that night, and as soon as Zhang Jin appeared, the wolves obeyed.
Not to mention, there is Lin Shuo here.
Wolves, for this team, pose no threat.
Therefore, Wei Xingshan couldn't figure it out, since the wolves currently surrounding this team did not pose a threat to the team, why did Zhang Jin slow down.
He asked, "Except for the wolves?"
"You don't want to hear it. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"In addition to the wolves, there are thirty-two macaques and seventy-six birds in the trees near here, and the species of birds are ......."
"Stop!" Wei Xingshan waved his hand, "I know your ability, what I want to know is, why did Zhang Jin slow down, what is he guarding against?"
"How do I know?" Lin Shuo spread his hands.
"What's going on in this forest, is there anything you Lin Shuo doesn't know?" Wei Xingshan said strangely.
"I'm not a god. ”
"How did Zhang Jin know something you didn't know?"
"The Zhang family understands the beast language. Lin Shuo said, "He must have heard something from the animals nearby, and since he slowed down, we will follow." ”
"Oh. ”
Everyone followed Zhang Jin for a while, and in less than half an hour, the scene in front of them suddenly changed.
This is already the deepest part of this large forest, and unlike the new forests on the periphery, this is a primeval forest, not only with tall trees, but also with a canopy that shades the sky.
It was daytime, and the sunlight leaking through the cracks in the canopy was barely enough to illuminate the light, so that everyone could not use the flashlights, and the light was relatively dim.
This is a relatively closed and mature ecosystem that has been operating for many years, and it is not quiet, on the contrary, it is very lively.
Maybe it's because there are wolves around, and all kinds of birds are singing on their heads right now, and all kinds of small beasts around them are warning each other, and their cries are also coming and going.
The surrounding scenery is cluttered at first glance.
Rotting dead wood, twisted vines, thick moss on the bark, fungal plants of different colors on the ground, and uneven terrain.
In short, this is a primeval forest that looks and sounds natural, and even with Lin Shuo's vicious eyes, he can't see anything abnormal in a short time.
And in this pure natural environment, an unnatural scene will be particularly eye-catching.
Less than twenty meters in front of everyone's eyes, a huge stone pillar stood tall.
Everyone walked to the front, and the thickness of the pillar required two people to hug each other, and the height was ten meters up.
Thick moss grows on the surface of the stone pillars, green and yellow.
Seeing a pillar, Lin Shuo and others subconsciously thought that it was a pillar.
However, when I looked around, I didn't find any remains of the building.
This pillar stands abruptly in this primeval forest.
"Old Wei, scrape the moss and see if there are any words or patterns on it. Lin Shuo said.
"Okay. Wei Xingshan answered, and then pulled out his dagger from his thigh.
He gently scraped off the moss, and sure enough, just under his blade, some patterns appeared.
Wei Xingshan's dagger didn't stop, and soon, he hung it around along these coherent lines, and as a result, a painting was scraped out.
This painting is very lively, all kinds of lines are connected or broken, but it also reveals a primitive taste, Wei Xingshan walked around the pillar twice, and he really couldn't see what the painting was.
"This is a very primitive hunting map. Lin Shuo looked around and came to a conclusion, "There was a similar painting in our Hunting Gate's "Kyushu Foreign Objects", which depicted the scene of humans hunting animals around the Neolithic Age. ”
Lin Shuo said as he pointed to the previous pattern on it: "This is a person who is holding something in his hand, called a catapult."
The principle is very simple, that is, tie the stone to the rope, and then use a longer arm to throw the stone out.
This thing is one of the oldest hunting tools of mankind, and it is not small, but it is not as efficient as a bow and arrow, because the bow and arrow can cause penetrating wounds, which is more likely to make the prey immobilized.
And it also has a big flaw, the moment it is thrown out, the sound is crisp and loud, and it is not hidden.
If you miss, not only the current prey will run, but also the other prey around you will run cleanly.
But ......"
As he was saying this, Lin Shuo suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the east.
Not only Lin Shuo, but also Zhang Jin and A
E and the two of them also turned their heads almost at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Wei Xingshan saw that the situation was wrong, and quickly raised the rifle he was carrying.
"The smell of tigers. Lin Shuo said.
As soon as Wei Xingshan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that don't talk about you monsters, even if it's my old Wei, once you have a gun in your hand, jackals, tigers and leopards will be a piece of cake.
But immediately with a turn of his mind, the hairs on his whole body stood up, and he quickly opened the safety on the rifle with a quick "click".
He remembered.
The current King of Mountain Yama is a giant tiger.
