Chapter 218, the problem is on the northwest high slope
Time, 9:40 a.m. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Location, Greater Disneymore Marsh, North Carolina.
The vast marshland is covered by a meadow that is a foot tall at a lower latitude, and the average height of the meadow is much higher than that of its high-latitude counterparts. A pair of tourist shoes stepping on the ground, you can clearly feel that the dampness and softness of the ground is not comparable to ordinary land.
The rented Chevrolet was already on the road, but if they found a dealership, washed the dirt off the bottom, and filled it with oil before sending it back, no one would know that they were driving a low-profile car to the edge of the swamp.
By this time, all four girls were standing on the edge of the swamp, long past the barbed wire fence erected by the state government. It said "This place is dangerous, no entry", but unfortunately it had no effect on them.
"I'm a little excited. ”
Ashley said excitedly, and as the most adventurous person, she wore her long blonde hair in a tight ponytail and wore her marching boots and brown cargo pants in style. That pair of beautiful long legs are slender and straight, and she perfectly matches her slender waist.
"Anyway, everyone, be careful, after all, we don't know what the danger is here. ”
Alice is much calmer than her, and as the key person who can get into the swamp safely, she must also be calm: "You stay here first, I will first scan the surrounding environment with mental power." ”
Hearing this, Ashley exclaimed even more excitedly, "Come on honey, scan my body as much as you like!"
"Uh-ahem!"
Sissi glared at her fiercely.
Alice didn't speak, but closed her eyes.
It's rare that she needs to use her superpowers solemnly.
In an instant, with its powerful brain that had developed to about 20%, a powerful spiritual power fluctuation instantly swept around.
The vast swamp is full of green meadows, and you can see many large but shallow puddles. Many creatures are inhabiting the land, mainly birds, and Alice immediately sees many cranes and herons resting in the various waters, as well as many migratory birds such as ducks and geese, marsh hooves of prey, amphibians such as toads and frogs, reptiles such as snakes and small crocodiles, and voles and muskrats running through the meadows.
What a harmonious environment.
But seeing that as soon as Alice closed her eyes, they didn't open them for a whole minute, and the others were a little nervous.
Sissi said nervously, "How's it going, Alice, do you notice anything wrong?"
Maiya whispered to herself, "Maybe I should have bought a gun ...... ago."
Ashley booed the shameless flaunting of a girl who was already of the right age to buy a gun.
After another moment, Alice opened her eyes.
"I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, at least for now, it's a normal swamp, and I've even scanned the 6,000 acres of land I want to buy. ”
She smacked her lips: "Seriously, compared to other places, the quality of the soil of those six thousand acres is much stronger than this one." ”
Ashley was the last to hide her feelings: "No, Alice, you can even scan the soil quality!?"
Maiya also looked at her in surprise: "This is even more powerful than satellites!"
Alice didn't answer, but said, "I haven't found anything abnormal for the time being, so we have two options now, either go straight deep, or wait for me to scan a few laps, what do you think?"
Sissi didn't say a word and took the lead in raising her hand: "Your life is important, you can scan a few more laps!"
Ashley laughed, "I should bring a bag of fries, Maiya, what do you think?"
Maiya had a straight face and said very seriously: "No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful." ”
With that, Alice started scanning again.
This scan is a radar wave that sweeps in the vast swamp area without interruption, and as she gets older, Alice's mental power is of course much higher than when she was a child. With all her might, within a radius of twelve miles, she was so detailed that she could catch the number of cranes and herons in every acre, how many crocodiles were waiting for their prey to approach, and even how many of them pricked up their heads when the mighty wind blew.
But after only three minutes, she immediately opened her eyes, and then she gasped: "No, I'm tired!
"Oh ~ please!"
Sissi rolled her eyes helplessly, and reached out to support Alice's body: "You idiot, you have exhausted all your superpowers in one bite!?"
Maiya said calmly, "But you still haven't found out?"
Alice shook her head and said: "Even if there is a problem, it is estimated that it is not so simple to find, otherwise there were so many police patrols and three helicopters floating in the sky, there should be something to see." ”
Wide-area scanning with full force can be more tiring than simple small-area high-precision observation, and Alice has found this. I don't know what other psychic superpowers are like, anyway, her words seem to be the type where quality is higher than quantity.
The break lasted ten minutes, and Alice sat on the floor, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep. When she woke up, the first thing she said was, "If you can trust me, let's go deeper!"
Ashley touched her chin and smiled, "It's cool enough to just watch your eyes turn black and blue for a while, I agree!"
Maiya pulled off her shoulder-length short hair and put on her sunglasses: "Agreed." ”
Sissi didn't speak, just took Alice's arm.
Alice snorted, and after a short break, her face, which had been a little pale, was red again.
"Come on, SOS group, head for the mysterious swamp, set off~!"
"Oh~!Let's go~!"
Well, it was only Ashley who responded.
The great "Alice group that makes the world more lively", I don't know why it's simply called SOS anyway, and this began a bizarre trip.
If you want to say what is strange, you must first analyze it from the way everyone travels.
Just like the spring outing of elementary school students, everyone obediently lined up in a long line, honestly following Alice. Among them, Sissi is close to the second place, while Maiya walks at the back, glancing behind her from time to time.
Again, it's neither slow nor fast.
It's not just that the ground is wet, it's like you have to be careful with your feet after being soaked in rain all year round, and Sissi's steps are the most obvious, as if she is afraid of something suddenly coming out of her side, such as snakes, scorpions, centipedes, or even crocodiles. But by the time they had gone half a mile into the swamp, the only thing that seemed to emerge was a roe deer, and she had almost been caught for lunch by Ashley, who had seen the creature for the first time, so she ran back into the grass with a convulsion.
Then, three-quarters of a mile into the swamp, they stopped.
For no other reason, Sissi and Ashley were tired.
"Where do we go, after all?"
Sissi sat on the paved waterproof mat, her back against Ashley, "You can't walk the whole swamp in a big circle, do you?"
Maiya stood beside them and mused, "According to the newspaper in the library, at the time of the initial investigation, the people outside received thirty or fifty calls every minute, after all, it was more than one hundred and seventy police officers and three helicopters. Then ......"
Alice sighed deeply: "Half an hour after everyone went deep into the swamp, the communication plummeted, and only the normal reports of the pilots of the three helicopters remained. Because the three of them are flying units, they start from the entrance and explore in three directions: left, center, and right, and are far ahead of the speed of the ground forces. So the other two ......"
At this point, Alice paused.
She immediately looked at Maiya.
The other two girls, who hadn't been brought to the state library in Raleigh, stood up immediately.
"Maiya, what do you think?"
Maiya was wearing sunglasses, but she couldn't see clearly, but her lips were visibly pursed.
"According to the original newspaper text, the missing helicopter was all the way west...... Alice, map!"
Since it's a grand Disneymore swamp adventure, Alice certainly has a map in her backpack. Hearing that Maiya was in need, she pulled it out and spread it out on a slightly dry floor.
Maiya pointed to the map and said, "Look at the west side, the west side is higher, and the land should be relatively dry, so the possibility of the missing person staying there will be high." Therefore, the patrol force will also send the largest number of troops there, don't look at this is looking for a target in a vast wetland, and the number of people is unevenly distributed!"
In the end, it is a girl who plans to go to the West Point Military Academy, don't look at Maiya who doesn't know much about business, and when she looks at the map, when she talks about the deployment of patrol members, her mouth is like a river!
"So the cause of the disappearance should be on the high ground to the west, and it is likely to spread from northwest to southeast, covering a helicopter and more than 170 police officers. As for the two helicopters, they survived because they were far north and northeast. ”
Sissi stared at the map, she could understand what the contour line was, but for Maiya's analysis......
"Spreading from northwest to southeast? Why do I think you're talking about weather forecasts?"
"yes!
Good guy, Ashley came to her senses again, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Today is sunny and cloudy, today is cloudy with light rain, today's weather is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, tomorrow there will be a five-level typhoon and seven-level precipitation in Los Angeles, please cooperate quickly with all departments to prevent moisture...... Oops!"
"Your Los Angeles will be 100 degrees Fahrenheit!"
"What kind of weather is it today, sunny to cloudy or cloudy with light rain, explain it clearly!"
"What is the concept of a Category 5 typhoon?"
For a while, her brain jumped until Ashley's scream was screaming, but fortunately, her legs were also long, and with a slight jump, she avoided the encirclement of everyone. (To be continued.) )
