266.Chapter 266
On the day of arrival, everyone had a night's rest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Mu Yongnian and the six of them were all invited to a meeting, and at least seventy or eighty people gathered in a large tent.
The opening remarks are still the same old routine, everyone holds a small red book, and first comes to a meal of Chairman Mao's quotations, and everyone yells. Then, a man in his sixties who looked like an officer began to speak. It is nothing more than emphasizing that this archaeology is a very confidential mission, and in order to prevent the enemy from stealing information, everyone must keep it confidential, etc.
About thirty minutes later, nearly a third of the people went to another tent for a meeting, including the four experts, and the rest began to distribute work.
The meeting lasted until 1 p.m.
The work assignment is very detailed, specific to each person and everything.
Mu Yongnian and Deng Hongmei were assigned to peripheral clerical work, and they were not qualified to participate in internal scientific examinations, and they were only responsible for sorting out and classifying some minor documents.
So, since then, they have only been able to see insignificant documents, and not only that, but they are also forbidden to look at the contents of the documents because of the category in the upper right corner of the title page.
In this regard, Mu Yongnian, who was originally full of enthusiasm and hope, felt extremely lost, and his mood fell to the bottom in an instant.
Depressed is depressed, but orders must be obeyed!
The tent where Mu Yongnian worked was very large, nearly 20 meters long and about 4 meters wide, with a long table in the middle, and all the sorting and sorting personnel had to work in the designated position, and they were not allowed to talk and communicate.
And those sorted materials will be sealed and packed in time, and then they will be sent away.
Not only that, but there were soldiers on duty inside and outside the tents, and they had to be searched when they entered and exited.
However, Mu Yongnian, who had long been accustomed to seeing such things, really didn't care about these things, because since it was a confidential mission, all these rules and regulations were very necessary.
What he cared about was what he longed for the most, and that was to have the opportunity to see it in person, even if it was just to take a look.
However, Mu Yongnian never waited for this opportunity, so in addition to eating and sleeping every day, his work was to sort out these tedious to the extreme.
The only thing that is gratifying is that because they are colleagues, Mu Yongnian can still talk to Deng Hongmei without being bored to the point of collapse, but everything they talk about has nothing to do with work.
Originally, the biggest hobby of the two was archaeological research, and these should be the ones they talked about the most, but they couldn't talk about these at all. First, there were orders from above, and second, they were surrounded by soldiers, and almost all of them were no more than three meters apart, and they were completely mixed with the scientific expedition personnel.
So, no matter what people say to each other, they can listen to it word for word!
Mu Yongnian and Deng Hongmei's tents were both close to the stream, and they were no more than ten meters apart, but they were at least three hundred meters away from the outpost upstream.
At that time, Mu Yongnian still wanted to take the opportunity to sneak to the archaeological site on the mountain to have a look, but in the current situation, he didn't even have a chance to get close to the checkpoint! This was tantamount to a cruel torture for Mu Yongnian, who was obsessed with archaeology to the point of fanaticism, and made him unable to sleep all night.
Judging from the current situation, this mission should be extraordinary, and it is very likely that there will be very significant discoveries. Mu Yongnian was nominally involved, but in fact he couldn't even touch the edge.
In this way, about a month passed, and an accident happened suddenly.
This accident directly and completely changed the fate of Mu Yongnian and Deng Hongmei.
That day, at about half past seven, it was already dark, and Mu Yongnian finished dinner, bored alone, so he sat by the stream in a daze. It's basically what he does every day.
Just as Mu Yongnian was bored throwing stones into the stream, suddenly, a noisy cry came from upstream.
The shouts, though chaotic, were terrifying, full of despair and fear, and seemed strange in the night.
Mu Yongnian was taken aback, and hurriedly looked over there, he was a calm person, and he would never act rashly until he figured out the situation.
Out of the necessity of secrecy, there are not many lights in the camp at night, and if you are not careful, it is still dark from a distance, and you can only notice the lights of the camp when you get closer.
Mu Yongnian couldn't see what was going on upstream, so he didn't make any moves.
At this moment, the two searchlights at the checkpoint, which had never been used before, suddenly turned on.
Under the illumination of the searchlight, Mu Yongnian finally took a look.
I saw a group of people rushing out of the checkpoint, and the checkpoint was already in chaos, and people were scrambling to flee desperately outside the checkpoint. The incident happened suddenly, and it is estimated that the soldiers patrolling all the camps also reacted and rushed towards the checkpoint.
It was estimated that the movement was too loud, and coupled with those miserable cries, the camp immediately exploded, and people began to flee in all directions like headless flies.
Mu Yongnian just wanted to make a move, but found that all the lights in the camp suddenly went out at the same time, along with the searchlights that had just been lit.
Immediately afterward, there was one scream after another in the camp.
It was a cry that was almost desperate, and when he heard Mu Yongnian's hairs countdown, goosebumps immediately rose all over his body, and a creepy chill instantly drowned him.
Fortunately, Mu Yongnian's mind is relatively strong, and after a slight pause, he suddenly remembered his colleague Deng Hongmei.
Without thinking too much, he hurried to her tent. Fortunately, Deng Hongmei did not start to rest, and was hiding in the tent screaming in fright at the moment.
Mu Yongnian rushed in, pulled her up, turned around and rushed to the side of the stream.
Although it was in the dark, his sense of direction was quite good.
At this time, the camp was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. The two of them didn't run two steps, their feet were weak, as if they had tripped over something, and they were thrown on their stomachs at the same time.
Mu Yongnian just wanted to get up, but he felt that his left ankle was tight, as if he was caught by something.
Before I could react, I heard a person say loudly, "Take this away!"
It is estimated that the man did his best, so even in such a noisy and chaotic realm at that time, Mu Yongnian could still hear it very clearly.
Then, Mu Yongnian felt a hand reach out to his buttocks, and when he probed with his hand, he touched the person's hand, and by feeling, Mu Yongnian understood that it should be an old man's hand.
As soon as the man's hand was released, an oval object the size of an egg arrived in Mu Yongnian's hand.
Mu Yongnian easily stuffed it into his personal pocket and buttoned it at a very fast speed.
"Run, don't look back!" was the last thing Mu Yongnian heard in the camp that night......
