Chapter 244: The Phantom of Qilian
"Come, all bring up the cups, let's go around, feel free not to drink!"
In front of the big round table in the canteen of the institute, several people in the office were there, but Song Xiaoshuang, Anna, and Director Xu of the Institute of Human Sciences all changed their work clothes and put on civilian clothes, and the expressions on everyone's faces were a little unnatural.
The people at the wine table were not surprised that Song Xiaoshuang showed his hand just now, but everyone was almost drunk, but Song Xiaoshuang, who drank the most, was just full of wine and was not drunk at all, Zhuge Hanyu, who was sitting on the opposite side of the round table, thought secretly: If you go on like this, you have to drink a few!
Originally, it was just a simple working meal, but at the invitation of Director Xu of the Institute, it became a banquet, not to see that Director Xu was already sixty years old, but the amount of alcohol did not decrease, and one-on-one put the old Zhao in his early fifties to bow down, and Xiao Liu, who seemed young, was defeated in the hands of a woman.
Zhuge Hanyu, whose pretty face was full of red glow, didn't expect Anna to be able to drink so much, in order not to let the reputation of the Heterogeneous Committee weaken because of the inability to fight for wine, Zhuge Hanyu went out and took out the largest amount of wine to fight with Anna, and barely won back a game.
But the next situation was a situation that everyone at the round table did not expect except for Song Xiaoshuang.
Song Xiaoshuang toasted one by one, he drank a beer alone, and a few people at the round table naturally had to drink a lot, but they really couldn't drink it, beer was no better than liquor, and his stomach was flustered after drinking too much. Even Director Xu, who persuaded him to drink at the beginning, had a difficult face, and waved his hand to indicate that it really didn't work, and if he drank again, he would have to fall directly on the edge of the table.
Song Xiaoshuang, who has now continued to drink a piece of beer, opened another bottle and no one dared to accept it, Zhuge Hanyu sat on the chair and motioned with his eyes to look at Song Xiaoshuang, who was full of crimson. Don't hurt your stomach by drinking.
How do you know that Anna just shook her head slightly, signaling that she couldn't handle this matter, and saw Zhuge Hanyu who was holding chopsticks and stuffing a piece of chicken from the soup bowl into her mouth, Anna covered her mouth and burped to signal, Song Xiaoshuang's alcohol consumption has been surprisingly bullish recently, and a piece of beer should be fine.
Noticing Anna's gesture, Zhuge Hanyu, who was still wearing sportswear, looked stunned, almost choked on the chicken in his throat, turned around and coughed twice before recovering his strength.
Zhuge Hanyu couldn't imagine how much beer Song Xiaoshuang's stomach could hold. His throat is simply a bottomless pit!
As soon as the beer was poured, there was no trace of it, but I saw that the fabric of Song Xiaoshuang's abdomen was slightly bulging, it was a whole piece of beer, and he didn't go to the toilet, the alcohol content in the beer was not high, most of it was water, where did the water go?
Even if he was an ancient martial arts cultivator who could use his skills to force wine, the few people around him didn't feel that Song Xiaoshuang was doing this. It's really evil, I can only say that he is a strange person. Zhuge Hanyu really took it.
Of course, Song Xiaoshuang understood that he was a perverted wine barrel in Zhuge Hanyu's mind at this time, but he didn't explain the specific reason, he sat back on the chair and poured the wine in the wine bottle into the wine glass, put down the wine bottle, took two sips of the wine glass, and put it down, picked up the chopsticks and said with a serious expression before preparing to pick up the dishes: "Eat quickly, move and wipe out the dishes." Now it's more than five o'clock in the morning, and the canteen has to be cleaned up for breakfast in a while, eh, the cabbage and meat stuffed buns in the canteen are not bad, Zhuge Hanyu. Why don't I let them stay a few and take them with them at noon when you are ready to rest?"
"You're really not drunk? You won't regret it because you signed the contract and treated yourself as a contractor, right? ”
As soon as Zhuge Hanyu heard the cabbage stuffed buns, her stomach wanted to regurgitate, not that she couldn't get used to eating cabbage stuffed buns, but now her stomach was swollen, but she didn't want to go to the toilet, and she wanted to vomit with a conditioned reflex, but fortunately she couldn't help it, looked at Song Xiaoshuang with a little drunkenness, and spoke quickly, with a bit of banter in her words.
It wasn't until she found that the people sitting at the table turned their heads to look at her, that Zhuge Hanyu realized that she had said the wrong thing just now, and it was not appropriate to mention these things on the dinner table, especially when a person drank too much, Zhuge Hanyu also thought that he might be really drunk, otherwise all the smart brains in the past would have been completely forgotten, but he couldn't take it back after saying it, Zhuge Hanyu barely held back a smile on his face, it was really embarrassing.
"Hurry up and eat, don't waste it, this is the director's private out-of-pocket treat, it's rare, don't be stunned, I'm fine, I'm just cooperating with various departments of the institute to carry out a series of continuous experimental projects, I feel that the body's energy consumption is too great, beer is liquid bread, it's almost the same after drinking this bottle, eat up the vegetables at the speed, do what you have to do, well, Zhuge Hanyu, I won't send it when you leave, you have to sleep well"
Song Xiaoshuang picked up a piece of fungus and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it, seeing that several people at the table were still stunned and couldn't move their chopsticks (in fact, their stomachs were so swollen that they couldn't eat), the strange light in Song Xiaoshuang's eyes flashed, and he looked relaxed and spoke.
After several people looked at each other, they still moved their chopsticks somewhat, barely finished the dishes on the table, got up and left the cafeteria and walked out
Song Xiaoshuang really slept and didn't care when Zhuge Hanyu and the three of them left the institute, because a few days ago, they continued to work to analyze data and write analysis reports, and Song Xiaoshuang was also tossed by the extremely exaggerated research projects of the researchers of the institute, Director Xu gave Song Xiaoshuang two days off to rest, in fact, it was just one more day off than the other three people in the comprehensive data analysis room (without a day off, Anna would not appear at the dinner table).
Zheng Hailing never showed up, and left the genetic research laboratory early to return to the bachelor apartment, Zhuge Hanyu did not mention her, she was also happy to be idle for a while, and planned to stay in the institute for a few more days, and then take a flight back to her hometown in a city in the southwest.
Zhuge Hanyu never mentioned when. Song Xiaoshuang will have the investigation task assigned by the Heterogeneous Commission, just vaguely signaling Song Xiaoshuang to wait, as for how Zhuge Hanyu took away the two contract documents, Song Xiaoshuang doesn't care, China is relatively the home of the Heterogeneous Commission, who will not open his eyes to provoke the staff of the Heterogeneous Commission? Don't forget. Lao Zhao and Xiao Liu are people with abnormal abilities, and Song Xiaoshuang is not worried about what will happen to them at all
After Zhuge Hanyu and his party left the research institute, Song Xiaoshuang quickly threw himself into intense work, and another week passed in a blink of an eye, Song Xiaoshuang decided to take advantage of the gap on Sunday to accompany Zheng Hailing back to Rongjiang City in the southwest, Song Xiaoshuang's home is also in Rongjiang City, it has been almost a year since he disappeared, and he has to surprise his parents. I have time to get together with old friends, and who knows that just when I am ready to leave, I will have to change my itinerary temporarily.
Someone had an accident, and it was not Song Xiaoshuang and Zheng Hailing's relatives and friends who had an accident, but the younger brother of the foreign girl Anna, a thin and tall white European-born Diff.
This guy is in his twenties, and before he was twenty years old, he went to China from Scotland to study at university, and later dropped out of school to mingle with society and became a peripheral intelligence agent for a foreign force in China. When Song Xiaoshuang rescued people, the two of them fought, and by chance, Song Xiaoshuang met Div's sister Anna again. After Song Xiaoshuang's efforts, Anna gave up the method of killing Song Xiaoshuang as a means to save Div, so the two did not know each other.
After Song Xiaoshuang rescued Difu who was taken hostage by a certain force, Song Xiaoshuang also taught Difu his unique ancient martial arts luck exercises, which can use ancient martial arts energy similar to Song Xiaoshuang (of course, Difu is very rudimentary, but there is no problem in dealing with three or five big men). is also a stranger from a family of alien powers, as long as Div is low-key, it is not easy to have problems walking alone in the rivers and lakes, but it seems that Song Xiaoshuang is destined not to live a too easy life, and he has just been idle for a few days. Def happened to have an accident.
When an extremely unfamiliar email with preliminary encryption settings was sent to the computer in Anna's apartment that could be connected to the Internet, Anna learned that something had happened to her brother Div.
A few days ago, Div, who had graduated from the same grade as the university, organized a group of travelers to hike in the Qilian Mountains in the northwest, preparing to walk through the outer mountains of the Qilian Mountain Nature Reserve, but a group of more than 10 people were all tied up, and the time was a few hours ago.
The person who sent the email specified that Song Xiaoshuang and Anna wanted to go to a certain area of Qilian Mountain alone, and did not specify what they wanted the two to do, but if they didn't go, the hostages would all be torn up.
For each other's intentions, Anna and Song Xiaoshuang naturally understand very well, this is a proper posture of the Hongmen banquet, laying a trap and waiting for the two to drill, but it is impossible for Anna not to go, Div is a rare male of the younger generation of their family, and is deeply favored by his father, as an elder sister, of course, Anna can't watch Div being torn apart, and she can't easily call the police to deal with it, ordinary police can't handle such a thing at all, the danger is too great, it's like sending a meat bun to the door to go to one less one.
Diff is a person with abnormal abilities, and he has been taught by Song Xiaoshuang Guwu, and those who are not strong with abnormal abilities cannot make Div succumb at all, and according to the entire group of donkey friends, they have not been spared, and it is obvious that there are many members of the group who committed crimes.
Such opponents are enough to be dispatched by the special service members of a bureau directly under the Ministry of State Security, most of the members of the special service team directly under the Ministry of State Security are people with abnormal abilities, which can be called the trump card of a certain bureau of the Ministry of State Security, but they are facing more emergencies, of course, Anna can't expect the special service team to be free to deal with it, not to mention that if the special service team members are dispatched and the mission fails, she can't afford to pay for the loss of personnel.
It was Anna who wisely chose to keep it secret, but she just told Zheng Hailing, who was about to go home, the truth, and Yang Yifan's sister and Liu Siqi didn't know the slightest bit of news.
Zheng Hailing originally wanted to go with her, but in the end she dispelled the idea, and she quickly analyzed that if Song Xiaoshuang and Anna couldn't handle the situation with their personal strength, even if she got together, it would be in vain, and it would become a burden, on the contrary, if Song Xiaoshuang and Anna could handle the situation, she wouldn't need to go with them.
Soon, the three soldiers divided into two routes, Zheng Hailing returned to Rongjiang City, Song Xiaoshuang and Anna simply packed their bags, and took a direct flight to an airport in the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, preparing to rush to the depths of the Qilian Mountains from there.
When Director Xu, who was sitting on a chair in the office, got a call from the Logistics Security Department, informing Song Xiaoshuang that the three of them had left the research institute compound shortly after, the scheming Director Xu suddenly understood that there must have been an emergency.
But Director Xu finally forcibly endured the urge to make an internal call to a bureau directly under the Ministry of State Security, he knew that he couldn't startle the snake and interfere with Song Xiaoshuang and Anna's plan of action now, otherwise the situation would get worse, Director Xu put his elbows on the edge of the table, leaning back on the chair and thinking to himself
The Qilian Mountains from northwest to southeast are the general name of a number of parallel mountain ranges, the Qilian Mountains in late May and June, the peaks above 4,000 meters above sea level still have snow, and there are glacier belts that are piled up near the snow all year round for an unknown number of thousands of years, and the glaciers slowly release snow melt water in the sun.
At this time, in the dense woods on the mountainside of an unknown snow-capped mountain, several brightly colored camping tents were camped on the high ground of the meadow by the small river of the snow-capped mountain, and the tent canvas was stirring in the wind under the sun's rays.
"Let us go, you bastards, scum, poachers, poaching in nature reserves, there is no good end, let us go as soon as possible, otherwise the regret will be over" "Is there anyone, I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten two meals, you have to give us something to eat"
"Don't shout, I didn't see that Diff kid being beaten badly and dragged into the tent, I don't want to end up with him"
The yelling and shouting did not have the slightest effect, and the voices of men and women intertwined, sounding very miserable indeed, but then a "smart" female voice said a few words, and the scolding and shouting fell silent.
Soon, the low canvas door of a tent was opened, and two medium-sized Asian men in their thirties dressed in gray casual denim clothes and holding heavy barrel shotguns walked out of the tent one after the other. )
