Chapter 44: A Strange Vegetation Phenomenon
PS: Brothers and sisters, I kneel.
A water purifier is installed at home, which is the kind directly next to the tap water, and the domestic water at home is purified, and the water is received in a large basin on the stove.
The water started to stop this morning, and the water purifier was on, but I don't know what to say.
Just now, there was a knock on the door downstairs: "Your house is leaking!" ”
Rub, when did the water come?
Gao Chao is not this.
I quickly cleaned up with a towel and mop, and went back to the computer to code words.
Nima, I was in a daze and inadvertently turned on the water purifier.
I've just finished writing it, I'm checking it, why do I keep listening to the sound of ticking water? There is a turtle at home, and the loaches specially prepared for her are placed on the edge of the kitchen, as if they have the same sound when they are noisy.
Even the drop god, it doesn't feel right, and when I look again, the kitchen is flooded again.
Alas, hurry up and send a chapter to discuss compensation.
The convoy had traveled less than twenty kilometers before its speed dropped suddenly.
"What's going on up ahead? It can't be some danger, right? "The head of the regiment who came this time was about to send someone to inquire.
"This is a routine environmental inspection of the Northwest Military District!" The grassroots soldiers and even the regiment commander didn't know what happened on this land last year, so Gao Hongquan had to cover it up: "Don't you see that the environment here is getting better and better?" ”
As if to confirm his words, the officers and soldiers originally stationed in Zephyr got out of the car wearing thick protective clothing and carrying heavy instruments on their backs. One was talking about something, and another soldier was quickly taking notes next to him.
Environment? Some of the soldiers at the end of the convoy looked sideways. It doesn't matter if you look at it. Even Wushan was taken aback.
I'll go, where is this desert Gobi region? In the distance, the grass grew half a man's height, and there was a dampness in the air.
In the nearby abandoned farmland, all kinds of wild grasses grow, and they look green.
Gao Hongquan just said casually, he also noticed it, and looked at Wushan in surprise.
"This Nima is like a Japanese wind!" The commander of the military division couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "I remember where our brigade headquarters was stationed at the beginning. It looks like it's similar to the vegetation here. Rub, you see that the water of the Booker River is so quiet that I want to go down and swim. ”
"Huh!" Wushan is also a little unclear. Indifferent shrugged: "It's better to let those warriors test the water source." ”
"Huh?" Gao Hongquan felt speechless: "Old witch, I'm just talking, you really think I'm going to go into the water." ”
Wu Shan was silent, his heart full of shock. The usual year. Even if there is no grazing here for a year. It is impossible for the grass to grow so tall.
The grass species in Hefeng County are roughly the same. On the edges of other pastures, the grasses that have not been touched by livestock are up to the knees of adults.
Could it be that this is a mutation of grass species caused by nuclear radiation?
It's not right, it is said that the place where Sam dropped the atomic bomb was not a single crop.
Things are quite bizarre, and the soldiers stationed in Zephyr may have encountered a nuclear weapon explosion for the first time in their lives.
They were given the task of measuring uranium levels in air, soil, and water here.
Come to think of it. He said to Gao Hongquan: "Let those soldiers who are testing come over, I want to ask about the situation." ”
Not for a while. A soldier in a heavy hazmat suit came over. Maybe it's because it's hot, and when I look through the transparent mask, my face is flushed. He was going to salute, but he couldn't straighten his fingers.
The soldier knew that the one sitting in the jeep at the back of the convoy must be an officer.
"Report to the chief, Li Fugui, a soldier of the second platoon of the biochemical company of the Northwest Military Region, reports to you!" He saluted as best he could.
"Comrade Li Fugui," Gao Hongquan returned the salute: "It is the chief next to me who wants to ask you some questions, and I hope you will answer them truthfully." ”
"Yes!" His loud voice came through the hazmat suit, with a buzzing sound.
"Comrade Xiao Li," Wu Shan saw that he was about to salute again, and waved his hand gently: "Don't be polite, this posture is that I can't wear protective clothing." Did you come here last year or this year? ”
"Report to the chief, I have been with the troops since last year." Li Fugui was a little confused, but still replied loudly: "After the withdrawal of the large army, the company sent us platoon to be stationed in Hefeng. ”
"And what about the data tested last year?" Wushan was eager to find out the details.
"Report chief, from last year to now, we have been testing at any time, and no suspicious elements have been found." Li Fugui frowned slightly: "Every month, we have to collect local samples and let them be re-examined. ”
"In other words," Wu Shan swallowed: "From last year to this year, the data in the areas you are responsible for investigating are normal?" ”
Li Fugui hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and his face turned even redder.
"Xie Lu, thank you, go down." Wu Shan breathed a sigh of relief and easily began to take off his protective suit.
"What are you going to do?" Gao Hongquan stopped: "Old witch, this can't be a joke. I estimate that the quality of our domestic protective clothing may not be passable, but in any case, it is better than nothing. ”
"Old Gao Wow!" It took a lot of effort to put it on, but it took less than ten seconds to take it off, and Wu Shan's hair was steaming: "We have to believe in science." If there is nuclear radiation, do you think there could be all kinds of life here? ”
"What?" Gao Hongquan felt incredulous, and was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you launch radioactive weapons here last year?" No, a large number of Soviet and Russian troops have remained here permanently. ”
"Spicy next door!" Gao Hongquan was also uncomfortably hot, and took off his protective clothing after three times and five divided by two: "Since you said so, why am I still wearing it?" I rub, it looks like there is going to be a war. Since we have not deterred the other side, the Russian army has already invaded. ”
Gao Hongquan is actually a very hot person in his heart, and he scolded and ordered to stop. Walked down.
When it comes to his life, he won't give orders. It's just that he made a gesture. The commander of one of my military divisions is not afraid of death, and you love to wear it or not.
The soldiers in the military vehicle, the tarpaulin behind them was not covered. What are you kidding, the big truck with a canvas canopy, hot enough in the big summer, wearing protective clothing, impermeable on all sides. Don't you want people to die?
Some discerning soldiers spotted the commander taking off his protective suit. Wipe! Damn the bird will not die for thousands of years, the commander is not afraid, I am still afraid of a big-headed soldier?
With the first, there is the second.
See the nearest military vehicle. The soldiers all took off their protective suits, and the regimental commander was taken aback, only to realize that the commander was an example.
"Commander, isn't this going through?" He immediately stopped the car. Ran over and asked.
"I don't know if it's going to work." Gao Hongquan shook his head lightly: "However, Deputy Commissioner Wu is right, if there is radiation, can these grasses grow?" It's my personal decision. ”
At the end of the day, no one was mobilized, and even the soldiers of that squad of the Northwest Military Region took off their bulky protective clothing.
"Let's hope it's not a stupid act!" Setting off again, Gao Hongquan sighed faintly.
"It doesn't matter if you're stupid or not." Wu Shan said softly: "Those experts, scientists, or whatever, in fact, should come to the field to investigate." But. In the future, it will be used as a Japanese-style scenic spot, and grazing and farming will no longer be available. ”
Because it is the Gobi region, the road has not been repaired much before, and it is no problem to drive casually.
Troops are troops, lined up in a straight line on the road with vague traces.
After about two hours, there was a high mountain ahead, and it was impossible to drive.
"Is this within our borders?" Gao Hongquan is very unconfident today.
"It should be," Wushan is not very clear: "However, the general dividing line is based on the middle of the river or the top of the mountain. In the end, this mountain is all Soviet Russian. By the way, you must have a military map. ”
"I'm a little stunned today!" Gao Hongquan patted the back of his head and stretched out his hand to the guard.
"It's still far away," Gao Hongquan smiled bitterly: "There are at least more than 100 kilometers left here." ”
"How far did the Russian troops invade last year?" Wushan was stunned, he didn't expect that on the map, it seemed that this place called Red Clay Mountain had crossed the border of Soviet Russia.
"The location of their invasion is not here," Gao Hongquan pointed at the map, "To be precise, it's almost Jimnai County." Of course, in terms of administrative divisions, it is still under the jurisdiction of Hefeng County. ”
"What are the specific orders given to you from above?" Wu Shan frowned: "If it's a military secret, don't say it." ”
"A military secret," Gao Hongquan said with a smile: "Didn't you say it?" The purpose of my visit was to verify the radiation situation, and I also had the task of reconnoitring the Soviet Russian troops. Don't think that you stepped down as secretary of the county party committee, you have to act immediately when Lao Maozi comes in. ”
Who was in charge of relocating here last year? Wu Shan's head couldn't recall it for a while.
But whoever it is, I'm the only one here now. He always felt that the vegetation in the neighborhood was a little too dense, not at all like the temperate continental climate, and the trees on the mountains were lush and green.
If it weren't for the telescope, he saw that those tree species were not subtropical tree species, and he would have suspected that they were in the area of his hometown Wu County.
The troops marched, and no one spoke in itself.
The soldiers who reconnoitred had already sent a report back before lunch, saying that they had climbed the mountains in front of them, but they had not found any traces of the Soviet and Russian troops.
Gao Hongquan asked them to continue searching, and after lunch, the army followed.
The soil on the mountain has not changed due to the vegetation cover, and it is still very loose.
The procession did not advance in a straight line, but fanned into several roads to the top of the mountain.
From time to time, some dirt flew down from above, and a small one was still smashed on Wushan's arm, faintly painful.
Whenever there was a splash of dirt, the soldiers in front would whisper to the back: "Be careful! ”
Fortunately, the slope is not large, and there are no stones rolling down. Otherwise, it is not impossible to have non-combat attrition.
"Are you going back from Jimnay?" Half an hour later, all the soldiers climbed the mountain, and Wu Shan asked curiously.
"There are border guards over there," Gao Hongquan shook his head slowly: "This time I received a task from my superiors, and it has nothing to do with Jimnai." ”
"Commander, look!" The regimental commander galloped over and pointed to the mountains to the west.
From this mountain down to a ditch, there is the opposite mountain. After two or three more mountain ranges, it is estimated that you will soon reach the national border.
You don't need a telescope, you can see with the naked eye, and after the two mountains, it is very different from here.
Gao Hongquan silently handed over the telescope, and Wu Shan was surprised when he saw it.
To be exact, only the fourth mountain is counted from here, and all the way through, all of them are Tongshan Bald Mountains.
"Do you have the Scout's hazmat suit?" Gao Hongquan's face was a little unsightly.
"Commander, they all have it with them." The regiment commander took a breath, received an airwave from the reconnaissance unit, and immediately reported.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Wushan finally arrived there.
All of them couldn't help but tingle their scalps when they saw it.
Bounded by a ditch, unknown weeds and shrubs still grow at the bottom of the ditch, and the hillside over there is a scorched earth. (To be continued......)
