Chapter 296: The Fog Rises in the Desert

Wei Xingshan didn't sleep well that night.

Thinking about himself in the first half of the night and thinking about others in the second half of the night, Lao Wei was not happy.

This trip is in trouble again.

In fact, the matter of flirting with Jin and asking Lan the night before yesterday was not that Wei Xingshan purely wanted to flirt with other girls, he wanted to pull interpersonal relationships for Lin Shuo at the beginning.

Lin Shuo, Wei Xingshan can see it, his eloquence is actually very good, but he doesn't like to socialize in his heart.

It was impossible to expect him to befriend the two heads of the Seven Inch Family, the He Family and the Jin Family.

But the situation of the peer alliance is already there, and his uncle Cao Yusheng has already mentioned Wei Xingshan, and Lin Shuo's position as the leader is not stable, and there are challengers.

And the allies that challenger Yun Xiu'er is eager to win over are mainly the powerful family heads of the Seven Inch family.

He Yongchang and Jin Wenlan are currently the leaders of the seven-inch family, and among the hunters of Lin Shuo's generation, they are the strongest outside the six families.

Even if they are in the six major families today, except for Lin Shuoyun Xiu'er, there is no other hunter who is stronger than the two of them.

You still have to canvass for votes in the presidential campaign, you Lin Shuo can't sit still.

Wei Xingshan was anxious for Lin Shuo, so he took the initiative to sit and chat with He Yongchang and Jin Wenlan, and first build a good relationship.

He is now Lin Shuo's brother, and then Lin Shuo's apprentice, so there is nothing wrong with doing this.

As a result, He Yongchang served as a soldier in the border special brigade for several years, which is an old tradition of hunting, supporting the border defense of the motherland.

There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence.

They have all been soldiers, and they have all worked in the special forces, although they are not from a military region, but there are many common topics.

Wei Xingshan and He Yongchang had a good conversation, and they hated seeing each other late, and before they knew it, they both drank a few more glasses of soju that was originally used to warm their bodies.

This bit of wine is actually nothing to Wei Xingshan, but Merry Tea said that Hejiu is a color matchmaker, and once a man with strong blood drinks some wine, and then looks at a woman, it feels different.

At that time, Jin Wenlan beside him, Lao Wei said that he was not moved at all, it was fake.

The woman sat beside her, like a female leopard, beautiful and heroic.

And looking at her eyes, it seems to be a little interesting to herself.

Wine is strong and intimidating, and what Wei Xingshan said and did afterwards was actually all a man's instinct, and he basically didn't have a brain.

Calm down and think about it at this time, Wei Xingshan really regrets it.

Doing bad things with good intentions not only didn't bring Lin Shuo any benefit in interpersonal relationships, but also got into trouble.

I didn't expect Jin Wenlan, a woman with such a wild temperament, and she was playing with fire**.

But this matter has already been drawn down, and it is only a matter of one night, and it is nothing for Wei Xingshan, man, I can't tell whether this is a loss or a advantage.

Besides, this hole has appeared, and if you drill into it early tomorrow morning, it will be on the waistband of your head.

If he set up the gun in the desert, Wei Xingshan felt that he was okay, but if he went to this kind of underground space again, he really had no bottom in his heart.

So even if you promise to give a girl one night, you may not have this life to fulfill your promise.

Thinking of this, Wei Xingshan figured it out for the time being.

Don't worry about anything else, live through tomorrow first, and then fall asleep.

......

I don't know how long I slept, but in a daze, Wei Xingshan felt that someone was pulling him.

Wei Xingshan is trained, this is a wild sleeping, not at home, even if he is asleep, his alertness is very high.

As soon as someone pulled him, he woke up immediately.

When he woke up, he reacted very quickly and didn't open his eyes.

I didn't dare to open my eyes, for fear that it would be Jin Wenlan.

Lao Wei pondered in his heart, this aunt and grandmother are really good, and she still doesn't let herself go after being like this?

No wonder a woman can practice so much, this is really indomitable.

After thinking about it again, hey, so be it, anyway, sticking out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, sooner or later.

Wei Xingshan closed his eyes and began to untie his pants, and said softly: "You move quickly, don't wake them up." ”

"Zip it up!" Lin Shuo's voice sounded in his ears.

Wei Xingshan opened his eyes as soon as he was excited, and Lin Shuo was standing beside him at this moment.

Old Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you?"

"Are you disappointed?" asked Lin Shuo with a calm expression.

Wei Xingshan didn't take a stubble, sat up, and rubbed his eyes, "Wake me up so early, what's the matter?"

"It's foggy. Lin Shuo said.

"When the fog rises, the fog rises. Wei Xingshan shook his head and looked around.

Wow, the fog is getting up really fast.

When he opened his eyes and saw Lin Shuo just now, Wei Xingshan hadn't noticed that it was already foggy.

After rubbing his eyes at this time, Lin Shuo could still see it clearly, because the two were less than half a meter apart, close.

What was behind Lin Shuo was no longer clear.

As soon as he saw this scene, Wei Xingshan chuckled in his heart.

The scene was familiar, similar to that of a sandstorm.

They can't see the things around them, and according to Lin Shuo's words, the information reference is gone.

Without the information reference, even if the information itself is replaced, it is extremely difficult for people to perceive.

In this case, the illusion of the demon of Dover is not flawed.

And in this kind of foggy weather, people's sense of unease is even stronger than that of a sandstorm.

At the time of the sandstorm, at least the car was covered, and the wheels were running underneath, so I felt a little safe.

This is different, people are still exposed to the wild, next to the mouth of the lair of the suspected Dover demon, and there is a fog, and nothing can be seen.

Suddenly, there was something around him, not to mention the Dover demon, people can scare people to death!

Wei Xingshan was more and more flustered, he looked at Lin Shuo beside him, and felt a little moved in his heart.

If Lin Shuo didn't tell him this, he would wake up and be directly in front of him, so he might have to panic.

Wei Xingshan then asked, "Brother, you are still righteous enough." At this time, you know that you are thinking about me, have the two younger siblings notified?"

"Nope. Lin Shuo said, "This fog is rising too fast, I only have time to let you know in advance." ”

Wei Xingshan's face stiffened: "Lao Lin, let me be fair, at this time, my wife is still more important than my brother." At this time, you didn't go to your two wives first, but came to inform me first, and I was a little panicked. ”

"Fuck off. Lin Shuo glanced at him, "That's because you use a gun, once you get into trouble, you will be the most troubled here." Shoot casually in the fog, it will really kill people. My two wives are much more reliable than you. ”

"Oh. Wei Xingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Old Lin, what should I do now?"

When he asked this, Wei Xingshan had already stood up, looked down at the watch on his wrist, and looked left and right at the surrounding situation.

Local time, 5:30 a.m.

At this hour of the month, it stands to reason that the sun has come out and the sky should be bright.

But the brightness of the surrounding light, and the feeling of dawn, has just been brightened.

The surrounding fog is so thick that it can't be dissolved.

You can see your hand clearly when you rest it in front of you, and once you straighten it out, the tips of your fingers begin to loom in the background.

Wei Xingshan turned his head to look at Lin Shuo, Lin Shuo was carrying the chasing master on his back at this time, he was carrying it cross-body, and the top of the bow was on Lin Shuo's shoulder.

The top of this bow body, Wei Xingshan can't see clearly now.

The visible range is only about one meter, and it can't be more.

"The gun was pulled out. I just listened to Lin Shuo's instructions.

Wei Xingshan was very obedient, touched his hand on his thigh, and took out the pistol.

"Shoot a shot. Lin Shuo said again.

"It's not. Wei Xingshan asked, "Lao Lin, where are you shooting? You can't see anything, and it's easy to accidentally injure friendly soldiers." ”

"Shoot them in the sky and wake them up with the sound of gunfire, and they all fall asleep. Lin Shuo said, "In addition, this is also a bit of a deterrent, the smell in the cave over there is getting stronger and stronger, and that thing is about to come out." ”

......

Red desert area time, according to Tashkent time, half past five in the morning.

The time under Kunlun Mountain is according to Yanjing, half past eight in the morning.

Cao Mian walked in and put the three drawers of mutton buns on the desk.

The slight thud of the steamer falling on the table woke up the three people who were asleep in the office.

Miao Guangqi, Cao Yusheng, and Yang Tuo didn't go back to the house to rest last night, they stayed up all night here, and they were really tired when it was dawn, so they each wore their clothes and squinted for a while.

Yang Tuo put on the glasses that were resting at his hand, glanced at the computer screen, and frowned: "The Red Desert area is foggy." ”

Miao Guangqi stood up suddenly: "This airdrop effect is not good." ”

"Let's not talk about the airdrop for now. Cao Yusheng pointed to the computer screen and said, "This fog is very strange, you look at the range and concentration, is it normal?"

"It's not normal. Yang Tuo lifted his glasses and said, "Once the desert area is fogged, it is basically radiation fog, and the principle is that the ground radiative cooling effect makes the water vapor in the air layer close to the ground saturated and condensed into fog.

Once this fog rises, it affects a very large area, often across several provinces.

Radiation fog in the Red Desert is normally the entire Red Desert area, which should be covered.

But if you look at this piece of fog, according to the scale of this satellite image, the diameter is more than 50 kilometers.

And the concentration is ......"

"This concentration should be far above the strong dense fog, and the horizontal visibility is less than 50 meters, which is called strong dense fog, and this is already lawless. Cao Yusheng continued, "Cao Mian, check the local weather forecast, whether there is this fog." ”

"Okay. Cao Mian operated on the other computer for a while, then looked up and said, "No." ”

"That doesn't mean much. Miao Guangqi said, "The weather forecast there is different from that in China, there are too few people there, and they generally only pay attention to the weather in a few oasis areas, and the weather in the desert will not be forecasted." ”

"But the fog is clearly not normal. Cao Yusheng said, "Lao Miao, if your previous guess about the illusion principle of the Dover Demon is true, look at this fog again, what associations do you have?"

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fire to the sky. Miao Guangqi shook his head, "In this environment, it is difficult to judge the truth or falsehood of the Dover Demon Realm with reason. According to historical records, the Dover Demon's melee attack ability is enough to kill a hunter with nine inches of cultivation, plus this fog and its illusion...... Cao Mian. ”

"Huh?" Cao Mian didn't expect Miao Guangqi to call himself at this time, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Are you interested in taking the position of the leader of the Hunting Gate?" Miao Guangqi said, "If this group of people on the Red Desert die, I think you are a better candidate than Zhang Jin." ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Cao Yusheng waved his hand, "Why are you dead?"

"I ask you. Miao Guangqi looked at Cao Yusheng, "Is this fog abnormal?"

"yes. ”

"Is it possible that the Dover Demon created it?" Miao Guangqi asked.

"Possibly. ”

"Fifty kilometers in diameter, such a thick fog. Even with the most efficient energy conversion method, how much bioenergy is needed to create this mist, you can do the math. Miao Guangqi said, "Is this something that can be done by a single creature?"

Cao Yusheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Tuo.

As a biologist, Yang Tuo shook his head: "The possibility is extremely small. ”

Cao Yusheng sighed, seemed to understand something, and was silent.

Miao Guangqi looked at Cao Mian, with a bit of comparison on his face, and said to Cao Mian: "Think about my previous speculation about the principle of the Dover Demon Illusion, the detection and coverage of nerve signals. Cao Mian, do you have any ideas? Is there an important link missing in the middle?"

"Conduction. Cao Mian immediately said, "If it is only detection and coverage, even if a Dover demon evolves these two abilities, it can only detect and cover near the individual, then its neural signal sampling area is very small."

And as far as I know, the neural signals of each organism are very different, and they are very different.

Since you want to use neural signals to interfere with your prey, you must at least use the nerve signals of the same species as your prey, otherwise it will be ineffective.

However, in deserts, where biological divisions are relatively dispersed, it is difficult to find similar neural signals of prey when the neural signals are small.

Therefore, this ability is not so practical.

From the perspective of biological evolutionary dynamics, the energy used by this ability is costly, but the profit is small, so it should not be evolved.

Since it can evolve, then this ability should be very profitable, so that this species has enough advantages over other competitors.

Therefore, I think that in addition to neural signal detection and hijacking coverage, there should be a process of conduction.

The multi-headed Dover demons cooperate and are able to conduct the detected nerve signals to each other, and then one of the Dover demons will hijack and cover the nerve signals of similar prey.

In this way, the area of nerve signals is much larger, and it is a group cooperative hunting, and the hunting efficiency is also high, which makes sense. ”

After listening to this discussion, Miao Guangqi was noncommittal, but looked at Yang Tuo.

Yang Tuo lifted his glasses and said, "Cao Gongzi's analysis is okay, a biology layman can do this step, it's very powerful." ”

"Does Academician Yang have anything to add?" Miao Guangqi asked.

Yang Tuo said lightly: "There is a small loophole in Cao Gongzi's inference, which leads to the conclusion being untenable. ”

Cao Mian was stunned for a moment, but he was a good-tempered person after all, and hurriedly asked, "Please also ask Academician Yang for advice." ”

"When a Dover demon hunts, it doesn't necessarily need to look for nerve signals from other prey. Yang Tuo said, "The nerve signals of the prey itself can also be used to make a time difference."

Do you know that the ghost hits the wall?

Let the prey receive the environmental information, just like before, back and forth to hit the wall, which is enough to confuse the prey and hide its own whereabouts at the same time.

Therefore, the single-headed Dover demon's ability to signal biological nerves is already profitable enough, and the nerve signaling between multi-headed individuals is not necessary. ”

"Yes. Miao Guangqi nodded and said to Cao Mian, "Cao Mian, you are very smart, but you have just entered the industry and do not have enough experience."

When there is a derivation of strange beings, we need to build on the basis of the present objective existence, and this basis of existence, about the fresh, the better, this is called the timeliness of information.

Why the Dover demon exists, and why it has the ability to intercept and hijack nerve signals, is an evolutionary process.

This process is too far away from us, presumably it will take an extremely long time, and there are countless coincidences that are difficult to describe in a word, so let's leave it alone.

What we are seeing now is this fog, and this fog cannot exist under natural conditions.

This is happening right now, and it's the freshest thing, and that's the basis of our derivation.

With such a large area of fog, it is difficult for a single Dover demon to create in terms of biological energy, and even if it can, there is no need to make such a waste of fifty kilometers.

Therefore, this is most likely a group hunting behavior of strange creatures, and the prey targeted is not only Lin Shuo's group, but all creatures in this range.

And among the multi-headed Dover demons, according to our previous speculation, they themselves have the ability to steal and hijack nerve signals, so this ability provides the basis for them to share nerve signals with each other.

They should do the same, because it's the most effective way to tell friend or foe in the fog.

At the same time, this also shows that the Dover demon that Lin Shuo and they are currently facing is far more than one, but a species.

Three hundred and seventy years ago, a demon of Dover in the Taklamakan Desert caused the hunter to lose fifty-six hunters, six of whom were nine inches strong, nineteen nine inches, and thirty-one seven inches.

Now that Lin Shuo is a leader of the Hunting Gate, with a group of candidates for the Leader of the Hunting Gate, he is facing a population of Dover demons, what should we do as the rear?

Cao Mian, as the current mastermind candidate of the Six Hunters, do you want to think about how to take over the Hunters?"

"Then I'......" Cao Mian looked at Miao Guangqi and then at Cao Yusheng, "Think about it?"

"Think about a fart!" Cao Yusheng pointed to the satellite imagery, "Let's talk about it when everyone is really dead!"

......
