Chapter 142: Civil Expedition
The next morning, I washed up, cooked a bowl of noodles and ate them, and before eight o'clock, the car sent by Bai Rui stopped at the gate of the villa.
I said goodbye to the auspicious brothers with only a few simple luggage, and got into a special car and drove away from the villa, not to the airport or train station, but all the way to the suburbs.
I was picked up at the door of an unmarked building and taken the elevator up to the top floor, where a helicopter was parked.
Bai Rui and a few people stood not far from the helicopter, one of them was actually Zhao Ning, she didn't change much from before, her cute face, baby voice, she was talking to Bai Rui when I went upstairs.
When Bai Rui saw me coming up, he nodded slightly to say hello, but Zhao Ning directly ignored my existence as if he didn't see me.
A tall young man next to me waved his hand warmly at me and said with a smile: "Sister corpse, we met again, how are you doing?" ”
I smiled back and said, "Fortunately, I heard that you went out of the house according to the clues left by your master?" Is there a catch? ”
This man is Song Yice's apprentice, Song Baisuan's apprentice, Song Hu, Canyon Yibie, we haven't seen each other for some days.
Because of the contact with Song's master and apprentice in 1939, even his impression of him has changed, and last time he and Hua Zeng suspected me of being an impostor, I didn't care anymore.
Song Hu scratched the back of his head and nodded implicitly: "Well, it's a bit of a gain." ”
I don't want to ask too deeply about his private affairs, just say hello and ask about the current situation casually, but I don't mean to inquire.
The man standing next to him remained silent, but I smiled politely at him. "Are you feeling well?" ”
Hua Zeng didn't speak, only nodded, the feeling he gave me has changed a lot from the past, there is no longer a bright smile on his face, but a sad and bleak face.
Now he follows Zhao Ning, so last time in Laos, it is estimated that Zhao Ning ended up walking with him, I don't know the twists and turns, but he has already stood in line, and I can only wish him good luck!
The last person to come was Wu Nian. I didn't expect him to come in person. Bai Rui introduced us to Zhao Ning's personality is still outgoing, and when she was introduced, she took the initiative to snatch Bai Rui's words. chatted with Wu Nian for a while.
Wu Nian didn't say much. He was covered in a black cloak. The cap on the cloak obscured two-thirds of its face, revealing only its red lower lip and pointed, bloodless chin.
When Bai Rui saw that everyone was together, he said, "The other members of the group have arrived at the designated place. Let's go. ”
Everyone got on a helicopter and flew directly to a military base in a harbor, and then transferred to a warship and sailed to the unknown seas, without revealing any geographical names to us during the whole process.
The other members of the group he said were on board with us at the military base, a total of five people, presumably "death squads" selected by the military, and there was no national flag armband on their combat uniforms, and it seemed that the operation would be completely secret.
Sure enough, after boarding the ship, Bai Rui announced at the first meeting that the warships we were now on could only take us to the periphery of the blockaded sea area, and that landing on the island required us to drive civilian speedboats.
"Because all electronic products will fail within two nautical miles of the island, and the entire island is surrounded by an unknown magnetic field, satellites and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft cannot obtain information on the island at present, so we need to go deep and get first-hand information." Barry's flat voice echoed in the small conference room, operating the computer with one hand and pointing to the large screen behind him with the other.
"This is a photograph taken outside the range of electronic interference."
A set of photographs were shown on the big screen, an isolated island floating on the black sea, entangled in a black mist that blended with the sea, and the dark clouds above the island were like ink.
The photograph takes it into view from every angle, but no matter how you look at it, the island is as ethereal as a mirage, dark and ominous.
"As of 10 o'clock this morning, 16 expedition teams from nine countries and two multinational joint expedition teams have landed on the island, but none of them have returned."
After Bai Rui finished speaking, he paused, fixed his eyes on me, and said, "There are not a few private exploration teams that have infiltrated through other means, and all of them are trapped on the island without exception. ”
Then his gaze swept over the faces of the people at the table, and then said, "We don't know if they are still alive, and we don't know what kind of danger they will encounter. ”
After he finished telling us everything, it was time for questions to ask, and the interesting thing was that only Zhao Ning asked alone, and everyone else, including me, was silent.
And all the questions asked by Zhao Ning, Bai Rui answered in two sentences, 'no comment' and 'someone will arrange it'.
Angry, Miss Zhao stomped her feet and walked out of the conference room angrily, the five expressionless and upright 'death squads' had not yet made an introduction, seeing Zhao Ning leaving, a soldier who looked a little older glanced at Bai Rui.
Bai Rui shook his head indifferently and said, "It's okay, let's continue." ”
The five fighters stood up and introduced themselves, saying that they were introductions, but in fact they did not say anything other than their names and skills.
On our side, Bai Rui introduced him one by one, and the reason why he introduced Zhao Ning's participation in the operation was that she had a recording technology that could be free from electronic interference.
The first thing I thought of was the Qingqiu holy relic, Lin Min used it to exchange me with Sanjiu, and then Sanjiu never mentioned its whereabouts, it seems that Lin Min asked him to go back, and the chips are still me.
If you dare to hand over something to Zhao Ning, you must be mentally prepared for things to change hands, I sneered secretly, but I inadvertently caught a glimpse of Hua Zeng's gaze.
He joined in as Zhao Ning's bodyguard, and I remember that he did things for Zhao Wuye, and participated in the search for the holy book again and again, all to save someone.
Affectionate people are always annoying, and besides, he was poisoned in the jungle because he saved me, if I can find Sanjiu successfully this time and return safely, I don't mind helping him if I can.
Song Hu was originally a descendant of the mountain movers, and studied under Song Baisuan, the ancestors of the Song family created the Shensuanmen, and Song Yice and Song Baisuan were all disciples of the Shensuanmen.
The rules of the Divine Calculation Gate, one generation of one master and one apprentice, were renamed by the master after entry, but after the liberation, the Divine Calculation Gate was disbanded, and Song Baisuan accepted Song Hu as an apprentice, which was entrusted by Song Hu's grandfather.
Song Hu's parents died early, and he grew up beside his great-grandfather since he was a child, and learned a lot of skills, and later his great-grandfather died, and he was entrusted to his cousin Song Baisuan to take care of him at the age of thirteen.
It is said that Song Hu should call Song Baisuan an uncle, but his grandfather thinks that Song Baisuan had sworn in front of the painting of the ancestor of the Shensuan Gate, if he did not follow the ancestral teachings to accept an apprentice, he was afraid that he would suffer retribution in the future, so he asked Song Hu to worship Song Baisuan as a teacher, which was regarded as fulfilling his oath.
Of course, the above content was not introduced by Bai Rui, but later Song Hu told me that he was bored on the boat, Song Hu often came to chat with me, talking about the two old men, and his words were full of nostalgia and intimacy. (To be continued.) )
