Chapter 297
"Then, Mr. Ouyang, I'll go to rest first." After several days of busy work, especially today, he was in a state of high tension all day, and Batu couldn't hold it anymore. Besides, there was a woman waiting in the tent.
"Okay." Ouyang Zhi didn't tidy up the tent immediately, he sat by the campfire, took out a handheld computer and watched. He was waiting for the golden pupil. This was the closest he had ever been to Chen Yan, and he couldn't sleep until the results were achieved.
Afraid that his memory would be biased, Ouyang Zhi looked at the information about Xu Lao and the others again. However, this information is very brief, and there are a lot of obscure statements, which is also afraid that someone will pick up this computer and crack the information inside. However, Ouyang Zhi had already memorized the detailed information, and now that he was looking back at it, his understanding of this grassland was getting deeper and deeper.
At that time, it was a biochemical research base. It was still established when the patriarch of Ouyang Lao was alive, and Xu Lao was just a person with a little bit of work in a new family at that time. The base has been in operation for nearly 20 years, and the results are mostly in the field of medicine. When Xu Lao officially entered the central government, this base was closed, and the reason for the closure was because there were too many illegal research projects in it, and human experiments were also used.
Human experiments! Ouyang Zhi suddenly realized. Isn't Fang Hui's research topic the human body? What they want from Chen Yan is that they have to go through human experiments? So the pain he felt about Chen Yan at that time was because she was suffering from human experiments. Even if he hadn't seen the golden pupil yet, Ouyang Zhi was extremely sure. Chen Yan must have been studied here. It's just that it's been three months now, and I don't know if they're still here.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Zhi couldn't wait to leave immediately to check on the lake. However, he still suppressed his impulse and told himself that now is not the time, not the time. Although only Liu Yifang and Fang Hui took Chen Yan away at that time, it has been a few months now. I don't know if they've been in contact with the Kyoto base. This grassland. Although there are not many people, they do not know that they are their eyes and ears. If they are alarmed, they may move immediately. Ouyang Zhi sighed and closed the computer. Lie directly on the grass. Look at the stars in the sky. As soon as the day dawns. So he went down under the water and looked.
Ouyang Zhi was not asleep, and after about an hour, the golden pupil crawled over. Now the golden pupil is petite in size. The surrounding grass is tall, so no one notices its crawling.
"Is that her?" Ouyang Zhi looked at the golden pupil.
The golden eyes kept blinking, and the tail was cocked. It probed the entire bottom of the lake. Underneath was the cement block it was very familiar with, and although it had collapsed, it still smelled familiar. It was born and raised in a research base, and the formalin, the metallic, cold smell had long been ingrained in its flesh and blood. It knew that this was not a natural lake at all, and that below the lake was a place similar to where it once was. Moreover, the virtual atmosphere that belongs to Chen Yan is very strong. That was the closest it had ever found to them since it had parted ways with the Virtual.
The corners of Ouyang Zhi's mouth couldn't stop flying, and he understood what the golden pupil was trying to express. Chen Yan is really here. Holding the golden pupil in his arms, a person and a snake entered the dreamland with nostalgia for the old man.
In summer, the day dawns early, and the morning sun in the steppe is even earlier. Around 4 o'clock, the red sun was already hanging in the sky. In the largest tent, the first to come out were the two old men and a few women who had not "accompanied" the man last night, and they were about to start making breakfast. The water was to be transported from that lake. They had a cart with two large buckets on it. Every morning, they would fill the two large buckets with water before the others got up and come back to make breakfast. If the water is not enough, they have to go again. The people who carry the water are all old people and women, and the number of people varies every day. Especially women.
Although Ouyang Zhi only stayed for one night, he could also see that Batu's control over the tribe was still relatively strict. Not every man can have a woman with him every night. Last night, the only people who could have women were the men who followed Batu during the day. Moreover, they were the first to come back with him. In the middle of the night, the four men who had stayed behind to clear the minefield also returned, and they simply ate a bite to eat before entering another tent to rest. If I guessed correctly, tonight, these men who came back late can have women.
The bonfire had been extinguished, and Ouyang Zhi followed the team to the lake. Along the way, they didn't talk to Ouyang Zhi, they just walked numbly, as if they were doing a repetitive action.
After they filled the water and left, Ouyang Zhi went into the water with the golden pupils. The underwater temperature is very low, about 5 degrees Celsius, and the bottom of the lake is basically invisible, although there are no organisms or plants, but it is very turbid. The bottom of the lake is very deep, at least seventy or eighty meters. Ouyang Zhi had an underwater light on his head and swam directly behind the golden pupil. He only has a small oxygen tank in his backpack, which can last about half an hour.
The golden pupil took him directly to the entrance of the tunnel, which was also the place where the collapse was most severe. Ouyang Zhi carefully observed these collapsed buildings, and he could tell that this was once a tunnel, and it should be the gateway to that base. But now, he can't get in, and neither can the golden pupils. The whole lake is actually more like a cylindrical well. That's the end of the lake.
Ouyang Zhi surfaced. It is impossible to pass under the water, and even if you blow up the collapsed place below with explosives again, you will not be able to open the passage. Now, the only way to find out where the base is from the ground is from the direction of the passage. This is a big difficulty, after all, I don't know how long the passage is, and besides, the passage is not necessarily straight.
However, no matter how difficult it is, it is much better than looking for a needle in a haystack. When he came out of the leek garden, he had no direction at all. Where is Chen Yan in the vast country of China? And now, he knew that Chen Yan was here, underground within a radius of two kilometers. It is necessary to dig three feet into the ground, and also to find out this base.
Ouyang Zhi picked up his backpack and planned to go back to find Batu. Their tribe had been here for a long time, and he believed that even if Chen Yan couldn't show up, people like Fang Hui or Liu Fangfang would definitely leave the base. (To be continued.) )
