"On our side, there is also such a group?"

"Yes. Although Lao Wu said so, he did not reduce the heroism of the police. "And the technology is upgrading faster than we are. ”

"On our side, there are not drones, satellites, etc., ...... now"

"They have it too, even before us. Old Wu laughed. "In this sea smuggling, they are not lagging behind at all in terms of technology, and they are even ahead of us. Their current drones are said to be in the air for twice as long as our side, and the monitoring range is more than half of ours. We haven't even discovered them, they've already discovered us. It's the age of technology, and with this hand, they're very cunning at sea, more slippery than an eel. ”

"I've heard," the deputy director decided to tone things up a bit. "Now smugglers have a technique that they wrap their smuggled goods in waterproof packaging, and then they throw them out into the sea in times of crisis......"

"Yes, there's a lot of this now. Lao Wu slapped his thigh. "It's a really cunning trick, and when we're gone, they're going to salvage it, and it's just impossible to prevent it. Their converted smuggling boats even have devices for throwing things into the sea, and as soon as the gate is pulled, they are pushed into the sea in batches. Later, our side also upgraded the equipment, and the situation was greatly improved, and our side was able to probe the underwater situation and tell what kind of goods were being dropped. If you find a ship to come and salvage it, you will have caught all the stolen goods. ”

"Can this be detected?"

"Of course, it should be sonar...... Actually, I don't know much about these new technologies, but they do work. Last year, we assisted our brother unit to catch such a big case. ”

The deputy director was keenly aware of the problem almost immediately. "In that case...... And how do smugglers salvage the goods that have been dropped into the sea?"

"It's hard to say, and it doesn't necessarily come up with salvage. Lao Wu replied. "Sometimes it's really thrown into the sea and never recovered. Salvage in the sea is not so easy. So they mostly play hide and seek with us......"

However, the deputy director is not interested in how to play hide and seek at sea with the smugglers, he is interested in how to salvage. It's a pity that Lao Wu doesn't know much about salvage. Moreover, Lao Wu scoffed at the other party's proposed way of "throwing the goods into the sea and then writing down the latitude and longitude". This may also be possible in certain rivers, or in places with clear markings (e.g. a reef and the like). But for the vast sea, the exact latitude and longitude is not easy to grasp. Unless there is a man-made marker, it is difficult to get it back. Of course, Lao Wu himself admits that if he really has a strong salvage ability, then this practice can indeed greatly cover people's eyes.

The problem is that the goods smuggled by this method must be small in size and high in price. For example, drugs, firearms, precious metals, etc., should at least have the grade of cigarettes. If it is for example, refined oil products, it is estimated that there is no value of salvage at all - the salvage itself is also very costly, a lot of time. And if there is such a professional team, it is estimated that unless it is the level of a big South American drug lord, it will not be able to raise it.

If you want to raise a professional salvage team, the cost is not ordinary. If you don't mention the equipment, it's difficult to have personnel. Fools also know that if they have undergone professional training and have practical experience, they are originally very promising high-income occupations, so how can they engage in smuggling for no reason?

They talked for a while, and the deputy director finally left with his report.

If the previous inquiry slowly perfected the puzzle in his mind, and finally formed a clearer outline, then this inquiry is completely opposite. Not only did it not make the original puzzle pieces in his mind more complete, but on the contrary, it became blurred.

It's not as simple as you think. As Lao Wu said, if it is an ordinary smuggling team for a few days, it will not be able to support a professional salvage team. As he said, maybe the big South American drug lords can. How can the smugglers along China's coast, especially in places like W City, compare with those drug lords?

He took out a pen and wrote it down in his notebook, with a question mark expressing doubt. After all, it is normal for conflicting views to arise in this kind of data collection work.

Then he suddenly thought, why did that Lu Wu travel to a distant place at this time? Moreover, he went to Kunlun Mountain in this season, and it was easy to have accidents in the snow-capped mountains in the uninhabited area of the snow-capped mountains in winter.

Of course, this thought was only fleeting. He looked at the scope of his investigation, and almost everything that was convenient to know had already been investigated, and the rest were some slightly more difficult things. Of course, he is not worried, when there is really any problem, it can be solved by asking the leader to come forward and make a phone call.

……

Lu Wu was lying on the hospital bed.

Doctors judged him to be in good physical condition – not unharmed, of course, but that his vital signs were good and there was no danger to his life. He's just second-degree frostbite, which sounds insignificant. But in fact, he clearly felt the pain in the skin all around him, the pain like a blunt knife cutting flesh.

His body has gone through the first three processes of frostbite that others have talked about. First cold, then pain, then numbness. Fortunately, it did not go through the fourth stage, which is the heat. According to what Lu Wu heard, entering the fourth stage will cause damage that cannot be healed. So now, in the medical tent, by the fire, the numbness has faded, and the pain has doubled to establish itself.

It's not just the pain, it's also the itch that comes in there. In fact, it's hard to say which one is more unbearable. But whether it was pain or itching, he couldn't touch it. According to the doctors, his skin was already frostbitten, and any friction on the injured area was prohibited. Once you do scratch the itch, the consequences can become severe.

At this time, the rescue work of the entire rescue team has been completed. Evacuation is being carried out in batches. There seemed to be people in the rescue team who showed a very disdainful attitude towards Lu Wu, thinking that people like him had nothing to do. But Thomas had already offered to cover all the rescue costs – and to be honest, it wasn't that much. At least Lu Wu felt that he was far beyond this price.

"Master......" Lu Wu opened his mouth to ask, and then suddenly remembered that the master was not by his side.

It's something that can't be helped. After all, he was incapacitated in his current state, and Amber was still trapped in an unspeakable place. Originally, even the master gave up, and he made it clear that he had no choice but to wait patiently. Because neither Lu Wu nor the master has the ability to interfere with high-dimensional time and space-as mentioned earlier, that place, according to the master's understanding, is an indescribable, indefinite ghost place with infinite possibilities.

But when the rescue team arrived, the master found that Thomas was carrying something terrible.

As mentioned earlier, the perception of a master is a kind of extradimensional, which is not limited by the obstacles of normal matter. The obstruction of the snow layer has no effect on it at all. So when Thomas led the team to the top of the snow, the master immediately "saw" everything, including the time and space gems on his body.

It is difficult to describe the master's reaction at that moment, but if Lu Wu must be asked to describe it, then Lu Wu can say that the master was a little out of shape at that moment.

This is a more powerful artifact than the coat of arms created by Amber. It is likely that some First Lawyer, who has reached the end of his life, has spent most of his power (not a small part) to create a treasure. In the context of the entire Aether Sea, this is also an extraordinary treasure. At least Lu Wu remembered that the master's attitude towards the badge was relatively cold - although the master also emphasized that the crystal badge was a rare treasure, but it was the kind of evaluation that stood on the third party and had a calm attitude. Just as a connoisseur evaluates an antique. And this time-space gem made the masters a little out of shape.

I don't know how Thomas got it. However, such a treasure could never appear for no reason, so the master speculated that the gem should be a tool used by the Stygian Warlocks to travel through time and space. During the fierce battle, the gem was lost and fell into Thomas's hands.

Then the master set a plan. He wanted the gem, and by the way, he got the amber out.

However, the time was too short at that time, because the speed of digging up the snow layer was much faster than expected - it took less than half an hour from the rescue team to start digging and finally successfully rescue Lu Wu from it. Of course, this is not surprising, snow is a very soft thing, unlike soil. In short, there are still many details that the master has not yet explained, and Lu Wu was rescued. In this case, he had no choice but to act according to the master's arrangement first.

The master's mobile phone was handed over to Thomas.

I don't know if the master has succeeded. Lu Wu thought in his heart. Thomas is actually not difficult to fool, trying to deceive the gem from him, and by the way, let him keep it a complete secret, which is not difficult for the master. But about rescuing Amber......

"Lu Wu!" a voice sounded. Lu Wu opened his eyes and saw Amber's face.

There was a look of panic and anxiety on his face.

"That...... Happen...... What's going on?" Amber clearly didn't understand at all. She couldn't even figure out why Lu Wu had become like this. She easily crushed the group of Stygian Warlocks—they didn't know her state at the moment, and they wanted to use the puppet enchantment of the Fourth Law against her. It's like getting the wrong object and trying to poison humans with isoniazid. She was easily defeated. The same is true of their ultimate killer move - they actually want a cliff to fall and crush her. , they don't even have a chance to escape.

Even after the victory, she was only slightly delayed, really just a moment. She had no idea that her time would be jumped for days. In fact, even at this moment, she hadn't been able to understand this.

Looking at Amber's expression, Lu Wu suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the first time he looked like he was seriously injured.
