Li Xun and the others didn't have time to tidy up the camp, leaving some agents and hunters to guard the camp, while the others hurried to the vicinity of the hillside where they had stayed in the afternoon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Sheng and several other agents were already waiting there anxiously.

Seeing Li Xun, Yang Zhenghui and others, Zhao Sheng hurriedly bent down and came to Li Xun and the others.

"Zhao Sheng, what's going on?" Yang Zhenghui asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't know that the lights in the factory dormitory were almost extinguished, and then all of a sudden the lights were bright, and everyone rushed out, in and out of various workshops, and it seemed that they were very busy. ”

Li Xun frowned and asked, "Did you hear a very low impact sound before, as if it was coming from the ground?" ”

Zhao Sheng was stunned, "No, did you hear any sound?"

Li Xun shook his head and did not explain in detail.

In fact, Zhao Sheng couldn't hear it, but it was very normal.

Originally, Li Xun's camp was at least three or four kilometers away from the direction from which the sound came from in the east, and this monitoring point of the surveillance factory was almost the opposite of the direction from which the sound came from, which meant that the distance was even farther, and the night agents in the camp could not hear it, and Zhao Sheng and them were of course even more difficult to hear.

But Li Xun faintly felt that the low and violent crashing sound he had just heard might have something to do with the current commotion in the factory.

After thinking for a while, Li Xun said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Li Xun crouched in the grass and came to the edge of the hillside.

I saw the direction of the factory in the distance, and it was brightly lit.

He picked up the telescope handed over by Zhao Sheng and looked at it.

Sure enough, the factory was busy.

Someone is using a trolley to transport pigs and a few beef cattle to the factory where the pig cart is unloaded in the afternoon.

Li Xun took a closer look at the unloading plant, which was the largest in area, almost built against the inside of the mountain, giving people a very strange feeling.

Usually for safety reasons, houses are generally not built against the mountain.

He turned around and asked Zhao Sheng: "When you went in a few days ago, did you go to this unloading plant to see it?"

"Once inside, there was a slaughterhouse inside, and the innermost part of the slaughterhouse was a cold storage. Zhao Sheng hurriedly replied.

"Did you find anything unusual?" Li Xun continued to ask.

"Nothing out of the ordinary. ”

Li Xun frowned.

Song Junxing also lay not far from Li Xun's side, and also looked at the direction of the factory with a telescope.

He suddenly asked, "Have you ever been in the cold storage to see it?"

Zhao Sheng shook his head: "I haven't seen this." ”

"The cold storage should be in the direction of the mountain, right?" Song Junxing continued to ask.

"Yes, in the innermost part, it should be in the direction of the mountain. ”

Song Junxing didn't ask again.

Everyone observed for a long time, and the whole factory was busy, so they did not continue to observe.

Leaving Zhao Sheng and the others to continue to observe the factory, Li Xun and a few of them returned to the back of the hillside.

Song Junxing asked in a deep voice: "Li Xun, do you suspect that the sound from the underground you heard just now is related to the current commotion in the factory?"

Li Xun nodded: "Yes, I'm a little skeptical, but I'm very strange, the direction of the voice just now is at least two or three kilometers east of our campsite, or even farther, and the distance from the factory is even farther, if there is a connection between the two, will the length of this underground karst cave be more than four or five kilometers?"

Xu Qianyun hurriedly said: "This is not impossible, there are many underground karst caves in the world, the length of which is more than ten kilometers, and the longest can even reach twenty or thirty kilometers, as for the communities composed of some underground karst caves, it is even larger. ”

Xue Qizhen groaned, "If the source of the voice Li Xun heard before is correct, will this distance exceed the range of information that Du Haiwei and the others have collected before?"

Du Haiwei happened to be on the side, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, we used to focus on collecting intelligence in the south and north directions of the factory, which is the most densely populated nearby, and there is a small town three kilometers to the north.

From the factory to the southeast, in fact, it is the most sparsely populated place, which is a continuous group of mountains, and even a few kilometers away, there is not a single village, and five or six kilometers further east, there are the steepest mountains on both sides of the Qingshui River, which is also a sparsely populated place.

And if, as Mr. Li deduced, they were hiding in a cave underground, then it would be easier to hide their tracks in such a sparsely populated place. ”

Li Xun waved his hand, "Bring the map." ”

Hurriedly an agent brought a map and used a small flashlight.

Li Xun and the others looked at the map.

Du Haiwei pointed to a point and said: "This is our current location, there is the factory, this is the Qingshui River, we can't see the Qingshui River from here, we can only see the factory." ”

Li Xun nodded and looked downstream along the Qingshui River next to the factory.

I saw that the river went all the way to the east here, but when I got to the east for about five or six kilometers, I walked around the mountains in an "M" shape, and finally turned around, directly to the south, to the direction of the Jianhe.

From the topographic map, this "M"-shaped group of mountains is indeed very steep, and the surrounding area is indeed sparsely populated, with only a few villages.

Xue Qizhen asked Li Xun, "Can you confirm the exact source of the sound you heard just now?"

Li Xun shook his head and pointed to the large "M" shaped area with his finger, "I can't confirm it very clearly, but it should be around here, maybe it may be a little further south in this area." ”

Xue Qizhen groaned, and asked again: "No matter what, anyway, it's about the location along the Qingshui River?"

"It's more likely, but the sound only came a few times, and then it fell silent, and I couldn't hear it again. ”

"It's a pity, if we can really determine the location, we might as well start looking for it from there, but the current blur area is too big to be easy to find. Xue Qizhen sighed.

Yang Zhenghui asked, "Mr. Li, what should we do now?"

Li Xun thought for a while, and said: "They were woken up in the middle of the night, and look at this, will it be quiet for a while, the original plan to visit the factory at night seems to be unable to be implemented, so let's leave a few more people here to monitor, and the others will continue to go back to rest, recuperate, and think of a way during the day tomorrow."

In short, there are two plans now, the first plan is to find a way to go directly to the factory and start from the factory, and the second plan is to go directly to the source of the sound tomorrow and continue to collect information. ”

Yang Zhenghui nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So Yang Zhenghui assigned a few more agents to replace Zhao Sheng and others who were monitored in the first half of the night, and the others returned to the camp to continue to rest.

After returning to the camp, Li Xun basically didn't sleep much in the second half of the night.

He lay quietly in his tent, listening carefully, trying to catch the slightest movement from underground.

Unfortunately, no new voices came from all night.

The next morning, Li Xun washed his face by the stream.

Suddenly, I saw Yang Zhenghui and Tanya, and hurriedly ran towards him.

Tanya also had a walkie-talkie in her hand.

"Mr. Li, there is something new in the factory. Tanya said loudly.

"What's wrong?" Li Xun wiped the water from his face.

"Just now, seven or eight workers sneaked out of the factory over the wall, all of them carrying their bags, as if they were about to leave the factory, but they did not go from the direction of the factory gate to the road, but divided into three groups, all of them walked on the surrounding mountain paths, looking at them, as if they were avoiding some people. ”

Li Xun's eyes lit up.

Tanya continued, "There are three of the workers who happened to be running in the direction of one of our agent squads, and now the agents are urgently asking for instructions, what should we do?" (To be continued.) )
