Anne continued to use the meridian book to treat Lin Shuo, while Wei Xingshan took Yang Tuo, and the two began to wander around.

Wei Xingshan looked at the thin little man beside him, and there was a faint admiration in his heart.

Obviously, among this group of people, this scholar was originally one of the most hated people in Wei Xingshan, and his annoyance was second only to Lin Shuo.

And now he and Lin Shuo have become the two people that Wei Xingshan admires on this trip.

admires Lin Shuo, in addition to 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 little stubbornness to the end.

These two temperaments are very much in line with Wei Xingshan's appetite.

"Dr. Yang, you go behind me. Wei Xingshan said to Yang Tuo beside him, "Although it is relatively safe here, it is for people like Lin Shuo." It's still dangerous for us. ”

"Hmm. Yang Tuo nodded, slowed down, and followed behind Wei Xingshan.

At this time, both of them had a calm soul in their mouths, and it was not convenient to speak at first, but at this time, the saliva had already moistened the medicinal powder and adhered to the mouth, but there was no hindrance to speech.

The buildings in the inner city of Longcheng are taller than those in the outer city, and deep mansion compounds have begun to appear, and houses that have entered and exited several times abound.

The feeling of walking here is even more uncomfortable than the outer city, in addition to the fear brought by the darkness, there is also the feeling of isolation caused by the high walls on both sides of the alleyway.

Because they were looking for someone, Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo entered as soon as they saw it.

As a result, in the first house they entered, they found people.

The man was lying on the patio, very inconspicuous, and the flashlight flickered past and almost missed.

"There's a guy here. Wei Xingshan motioned for Yang Tuo to stop, and then stepped forward to check it himself, and then said, "I've fallen asleep." Dr. Yang, take a look. ”

Yang Tuo walked up to the man and half-squatted down, first shone a flashlight on his face, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "Found it." ”

Wei Xingshan immediately understood: "He is one of the lumberjacks?"

"Hmm. His name is Zeng Hong, a 32-year-old male from Heilongjiang, China, and one of the 73 Chinese loggers who went missing. 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 helped his glasses.

"Okay, I know you're a genius, with a high IQ and a good memory. Wei Xingshan shook his head helplessly, "Let's take a look, what's wrong with him?"

Yang Tuo gently pushed the person first, but found that there was no response, so he rolled the person's eyelids again, and illuminated the pupils with a flashlight.

"It's a coma, but it's stable. Yang Tuo said, "It's not appropriate to move him now, if it's really like Mr. Lin said, all the people here are in this state, and we can't get dozens of people out." Make a note of the location first, and then come back to save people. ”

"Speaking of which, I'm weird. Wei Xingshan seemed to think of something, "Dr. Yang, do you remember? When we first came to Waixinganling, according to Russian intelligence and the descriptions of local mountain people, these more than 80 people disappeared without a trace overnight. Could it be that the hooked snake controlled them?"

"There is such a possibility. Yang Tuo nodded, "But instead of believing in such an abnormal thing, I think it is more likely that they were coerced with weapons and had to leave there." ”

"But what about those collapsed houses?" Wei Xingshan asked, "I didn't go to the scene at the time, but I heard Liu Qing say that it was like someone running over with a road roller." ”

"It's really the Hooked Snake that did it. Yang Tuo analyzed.

"But isn't that a fart by taking off your pants?" Wei Xingshan was puzzled, "It's just kidnapping, what are you doing with the hooked snake like this?"

"This is a question that Mr. Lin may know better. ”

Yang Tuo didn't say it thoroughly, but Wei Xingshan understood.

The other party asked the hooked snake to go to the scene and leave a smell, which was obviously a bait set against Lin Shuo.

"Obviously there are some people who are working with the hooked snake. Yang Tuo said again.

"Who the hell is that?" Wei Xingshan asked, "Moreover, how did they cooperate with the Hooked Snake? How could the Hooked Snake communicate with humans? It was not a herding beast like the Black Water Dragon King." ”

"I don't know. Yang Tuo said, "I think this is the problem that Mr. Lin will solve next." If these are confirmed by Mr. Lin, this will also be one of the topics of my future research. ”

The two walked out the door while talking, Wei Xingshan was in front and Yang Tuo was behind,

Yang Tuo only saw Wei Xingshan's figure suddenly pause and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Yang Tuo asked.

While asking, he saw Wei Xingshan quickly turn around, looking at the patio, and Yang Tuo also turned his head.

Then the two of them saw at the same time that the man lying on the patio slowly stood up.

......

The entrance to the underground space, the entrance to the river underneath.

The entrance to the cave that had been blown up by Wei Xingshan's order was cleaned up by other mercenaries at this time, and stone walls were built on the left and right sides, and each door was installed.

No, you can't do that, because near the entrance of this cave, there are giant green ants outside, and there are several forks in the inside, and the devil knows what is hidden in them.

Time is in a hurry, local materials are used, and everyone is not professional in doing this, this project is naturally relatively simple, but at the moment, this cave entrance finally has a bit of a camp.

Lin Shuo and the four of them have been in this underground space for forty-eight hours, and the distance has long exceeded the communication range of walkie-talkies, and there is no news.

Because I really didn't expect it to be so big here, the material reserves brought by the team this time are not much.

In addition, they were attacked by ants and the bullets were gone, so everyone's actions were very conservative in the past two days, and they nested in the hole.

Soon after Lin Shuo left, Liu Qing sent five mercenaries to the ground to collect supplies, and he didn't know how long it would take to get here.

Outside the opening, there is a huge enclosed space. Once there is any noise here, the sound waves can travel far under the refraction of the stone wall.

So far, Liu Qing has heard two explosions from afar, the first of which even caused an earthquake.

This 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 108,000 miles behind Wei Xingshan, and the reason why he served as Wei Xingshan's deputy is because of actual combat experience.

Wei Xingshan's actual combat ability in the wild, she was deeply admired, and before she met Lin Shuo, she even thought that this giant man was invincible in the wild.

But what she saw and heard when she came out this time had already made her realize that this mission was still too difficult for Wei Xingshan.

This should have been handled by people like Lin Shuo and Anne, no matter how strong Wei Xingshan was, he was just an ordinary person.

"Captain Liu. He Zihong said at this time, "Are you worried about Captain Wei and them?"

"It 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 that there's movement. He Zihong said, "It's better than being silent." ”

"Hmm. Liu Qing nodded.

As they were talking, the two of them only heard the roar of the engine in the distance, and the material vehicle arrived.

He Zihong and Liu Qing hurriedly greeted them, and they didn't wait long for the brightness of the headlights to make the two of them squint their eyes.

There were actually five armored vehicles that were driven in!

Not to mention the five truckloads of supplies, the mercenaries also brought a piece of news that I couldn't tell 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 on the border, China still does not send many people this time, the total number is only 100, but they are the most elite special forces commanders and fighters.

"Team 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 set, "The channel has been adjusted." ”

Liu Qing took the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Please speak." ”

"I am Lieutenant Colonel* of the Special Forces of the Shenyang Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, please declare my identity. A thick and firm male voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"I am Liu Qing, deputy leader of the Asian regional action team of the International Biological Research Association and former captain of the special forces of the Nanjing Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Hello Lieutenant Colonel Wang. ”

"Hello Captain Liu. Our department was ordered by the higher authorities to take over the entrance to the underground passage. Please rest assured that we will ensure the safety of the entrance to the underground passage. I sent a messenger to follow the armored car into the ground, and if you have any requests, just ask him, and we will do our best to meet them. ”

"Okay, thanks. Liu Qing turned off the call button.

"Hey, the Chinese side is still responsible. He Zihong said with emotion.

"This kind of responsibility is not necessarily a good thing for us. Liu Qing glanced at the old professor and said softly.

"What does this mean?" said Ho Zihong, puzzled.

"Professor He, didn't you hear clearly, they are not responsible for our safety, but for the security of the entrance to the underground passage. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference. Liu Qing said, "If you just want to know what we need on the spot, you can talk on a walkie-talkie, but he also sent someone down." I believe that as soon as the situation gets out of control, this person will immediately report to the surface, and then they will fill in the hole. ”

"This ......" He Zihong was dumbfounded.

"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, blowing up the entrance may be the best option. If it were me, I would have done the same. To do things, you always have to plan for the worst. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Qing looked at He Zihong: "Professor He, I suggest that you evacuate immediately." ”

"No, I can't go, my students are still inside. He Zihong shook his head resolutely, "And within the research society, I am the highest here in terms of rank." At this time, everyone else can go, but I can't. ”

"Good. Liu Qing nodded, looking out of the cave, "Then let's wait for them to come back." ”
