Behind the iron gate, it was pitch black, and the special police officers put a powerful flashlight on the back of their hands, and by the light of the flashlight, they could see the situation behind the iron gate.

Next to the iron gate is an iron staircase that spirals downward, and below it is a basement that is more than two meters high.

The basement was large, windowless, windless, and the air smelled of formalin.

Rows of wooden shelves lay on the floor, and on the shelves were glass jars containing formalin-soaked specimens of marine life, from which a pungent smell emanated.

In addition to the specimen shelves, there are also some sundries piled up in a messy corner of the basement, including discarded tables and chairs, laboratory tables, cement slabs......

The SWAT officers who were exploring the path confirmed that there was no danger in the basement before notifying Nan Zhiqiao to come down.

Ye Zhenzhen followed Nan Zhiqiao, and the boat owner walked last, one by one down the iron steps to the basement.

Nan Zhiqiao walked in front of the rows of specimen shelves, the glass jar containing the specimen was covered with a thick layer of dust, apparently no one had cleaned it for a long time, and used a flashlight to illuminate the label paper under the specimen jar, the date of the specimen was made more than ten years ago.

The boat owner followed behind Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen, and his eyes followed the light of Nan Zhiqiao's flashlight on the label paper, "This is more than ten years ago, and it can still be preserved so well." ”

Nan Zhiqiao: "Before this place was abandoned, there was a typhoon, and the typhoon only destroyed the buildings on the ground, and there was no damage to this underground laboratory, and when the staff here evacuated here, these specimens were not taken with them. ”

The ship's owner replied, "It seems that these specimens are not worth much, so why don't you take them with you." ”

Nan Zhiqiao used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the occasional vacant spot on the shelf, and speculated, "All the valuable ones have been moved, and the rest are common specimens of marine life." ”

The flashlight swept across the basement wall, and a circular white switch was embedded in the gray wall, which was very conspicuous.

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were sharp, she found the switch, and said loudly: "Senior Nan, there is a switch on the wall, it should be the electric switch in the basement." ”

said that it was too late, and Ye Zhenzhen's hand had already pressed the switch.

The switch on the wall was pressed, and the entire basement instantly lit up a little dazzling.

The lights in the basement turned on!

"It's been deserted for more than ten years, and there is still electricity!" cried the shipowner, covering his eyes stinged by the sudden light, in surprise.

Nan Zhiqiao was not surprised, the big blades on the two wind turbine towers were still rotating, and the base was also printed with the logo of Nanmu Group, when he saw the two wind power towers, Nan Zhiqiao knew that Nanmu Group wanted to build a self-sufficient power supply on the island, but for some reason it was interrupted.

Now it appears that the electricity from the two wind turbine towers was transferred to the abandoned two-story building, perhaps the developers wanted to rebuild it.

Everything is speculation!

Nan Zhiqiao can see the whole picture of the basement through the bright incandescent light.

The surrounding walls are rough gray cement walls, the floor is also the ground, and the basement is very simple, except for the abandoned specimens of marine life, there are other debris, and no clues related to the fire snake organization can be found.

The crowd withdrew from the basement, and then from the second floor, without finding the expected clues.

The next target is two piles of building materials on the southeast and northeast banks, and near the building materials there are two wind turbines that were built just a half year ago.

Nan Zhiqiao and his party approached the wind power tower, which was surrounded by a ring of railings, and the power tower was running.

Next to the tower are some building materials that have not yet had time to be used, solar panels, stainless steel pipes, and thickened shockproof glass......

There are various types of building materials, and when Nanmu Group applied for the development rights, it was planning to develop the coastal islands into amusement scenic spots, and these building materials may have been used to build amusement facilities.

Looking around the wind turbine tower, except for a few Nanmu Group logos, there are no other valuable clues.

These discoveries did not help Nan Zhiqiao's doubts in his heart.

Isn't the Fire Serpent Organization related to the coastal islands of Y City? But what about the unconscious man with the snake tattoo on the beach?

The group stayed on Scallop Island for nearly three hours, and all the target places were checked, and there were no clues related to the Fire Serpent Order.

Nan Zhiqiao and the police did not give up, and went to check on other islands in the coastal archipelago again, and the results were still the same.

Three small islands that have been designated as bird nature reserves, after a few days ago the marine department and the disease control department sorted out, there is no trace of dead birds on the island, after an avian flu, the number of seabirds has decreased suddenly, the island environment has also been manually disinfected, a smell of disinfectant water is still in the air, any clues about the outbreak have been covered up.

A helicopter, three speedboats, a dozen SWAT officers, two police dogs, plus Nan Zhiqiao, Ye Zhenzhen and the boat owner, were busy all day in the coastal islands, and still found nothing.

Returning to the small courtyard of Zhen Zhen's house in the evening, Ye Zhenzhen felt a little depressed in her heart, and always felt that there was a shadow in her heart that could not be lingered, and the black fire snake pattern was like a big stone blocking her chest.

Ye Zhenzhen knew that Nan Zhiqiao must be more uncomfortable in his heart, although he didn't see anything unusual on the surface.

It's already the middle of October, the November holiday has long passed, and the two are still staying in Y City, mainly because of the bird flu epidemic in Y City, and another reason is because Zhen Zhen's father is still in the hospital.

Zhen Zhen's father's condition has improved significantly, he can be discharged from the hospital in two days, the avian flu epidemic in Y City has also been controlled, and there are no new cases of human avian flu after the comatose man picked up from the beach.

Nan Zhiqiao thought in his heart, when Zhen Zhen's father was discharged from the hospital, he would take Zhen Zhen back to Beijing, leave the laboratory for such a long time, meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the disease control task has been completed, it is time to go back, except for the matter of scallop island.

Nan Zhiqiao always faintly felt in his heart that there seemed to be no check, as if he had missed any clues, but he couldn't think of what went wrong for a while, so he could only temporarily put this question in his heart.

——

Two days after her trip to Scallop Island, her father was discharged from the hospital.

Nan Zhiqiao was busy and helped to set up Zhen Zhen's father.

That night, just as Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen were discussing the matter of returning to Beijing, Ye Zhenzhen's mobile phone mailbox suddenly received an email.

After hearing the prompt tone of the email, Ye Zhenzhen clicked on the link casually, and a video material automatically started to play.

On an empty, unfinished building, a group of black-clad people stood around, and in the middle of the black revolving chair, a tall and slender woman, with her eyes closed and her hands tied behind her back, leaned back in the chair.

When she saw the appearance of the sleeping woman on the chair, Zhen Zhen was shocked, that woman was herself!
