The time goes back to a day ago.

The Department of Paranormal Research and Response has not given up on the anonymous letter, nor has it given up any clues it has found before.

The destruction of records for no reason, and the strange disappearance of clues, instead of stopping the investigation, made Kodell pay more attention to it.

To that extent, it can be said that under the influence of supernatural forces, the main information left behind by himself was erased.

But the stakes are high, and no matter how difficult it is, we must persevere.

Fortunately, although it seems that all the clues have been cut off, at least the traced lines are still there, and they are not really blind, but the workload is greater.

However, because the chaotic mutation events in the country involved energy, the clueless pursuit is naturally not so a priority.

The "Death Obstale" area has been a key research area for the French during this time.

The law of the 6-hour curse has not been broken, and countless French experts and scholars have no clue, only some psychologists have proposed that it may be a regular psychological suggestion, but it is also untenable.

In the end, it can only be boiled down to the influence of supernatural forces that humans cannot understand for the time being.

To put it simply, no valid conclusions have been drawn.

Compared to the special security team in China, the current pressure on the Department of Paranormal Research and Response in France is not as exaggerated, but the sense of urgency is stronger.

It was clear to Cordell that the reason why there was not so much pressure was not that they were fully prepared, but that they were not well informed.

Yes, the French are far behind China and even Britain and the United States in their response to the mutation, their level of understanding of it, and their experience in dealing with it, and they are not even aware of the existence of the new human being.

But on the other hand, no one is stupid, they understand that the frequent actions of certain countries make them a little nervous, and the ease of being in the present is likely to lead to multiplication in the future.

Kodell was heartbroken by this, and on several occasions proposed to follow up on the so-called "civil air defense replacement" base preparations launched by China and the United States.

However, the situation in France is different, in the past two years, the relationship between government economic expenditure and resource reserves has been too saturated, not because the top does not want to do it in one step, but because it really can't do it, and can only draw resources from inconspicuous corners little by little.

To put it bluntly, in the high-level political environment of France, the occurrence of abnormal incidents has not been raised to the extent that it can threaten national stability, and domestic construction and economic revitalization are still in the first place.

And the top management believes that enough resources have been allocated to Kodel's department.

This is a consideration to avoid picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, which is understandable.

However, after the "Flame Demon Incident" in St. Louis, USA, the countries with relatively sensitive global news suddenly focused on hot spots, which had an immeasurable chain reaction in the upper echelons of their respective countries.

The situation changed all of a sudden, but at this time the French upper echelons realized that their preparation progress had fallen out of the first echelon, or in the words of the Americans, the French had never stood in the first echelon.

In the midst of this anxiety and torment, Cordell thought more than once of the mysterious being who sent the warning email.

He sometimes wondered.

Was it wrong to track and monitor so closely at the beginning, or was it because of this that the other party became vigilant and never appeared again.

At this time, Cordell was sitting at his desk looking at an electronic report.

It is about a strange case found in the eastern countryside, the patient is a homeless man, who seems to have bulimia, constantly looking for something to eat, and hungering anyone who can satisfy himself.

There was also a crime of Qingqi who broke into a house and robbed a refrigerator, and the owner of the house called the police and was caught by the police.

In the process, four or five policemen could not get into him, and finally four shots from the stun gun took him down and subdued.

The report is still due to the impact of the new lung fever in the United States, but now it seems that this bulimia is just an isolated case.

"Minister, the people stationed in Lyon have sent back the latest news, and they have found out the whereabouts of the original rental of diving equipment!"

Cordell perked up.

"Have the follow-up clues been interrupted?"

"It's not clear yet, but the dive site has been found, not the seaside as speculated, but a reservoir, and someone has been sent to follow up, and they will send a more detailed report tonight. ”

Cordell dialed his subordinates directly, and he couldn't wait that long.

Soon, the cause and effect were learned on the phone.

The local authorities "accidentally" found that part of their archived data had been compromised, and one of the pieces of information about the construction of a reservoir on a tributary of the Rhône River had been lost, and it is not known whether the hackers accidentally deleted it or for other reasons.

The reservoir power plant, although in an inoperable state, is monitored.

In the foreground, I found that a team had been camping near the reservoir for several days, carrying diving equipment, and although it was not clear, it was clear that they were frequently diving under the reservoir.

One of the more famous ones in the neighborhood is the Lyon Diving Enthusiasts Association.

Suspecting that they had something to do with hackers, the police came to the door.

Well, now the divers association remembered that there was once a group of people from the government department who checked the whereabouts of that batch of equipment.

I called directly to inform me of the news.

All of a sudden, the truncated information is back in line.

。。。

In front of the reservoir of the tributary of the Rhône, even though a long time has passed, the campsite of Fillier and others at the beginning quickly found the location through video comparison.

There is also visible charcoal in the former fire, and a few forgotten cans scattered around.

Vershes finished reporting to Cordell before putting down the phone.

At this time, there are already professional divers on standby by the river with their gear on.

"Sir, the dive team is ready. ”

"Well, go down and see what you can find, and don't let go of any special places. ”

As the order was given, more than a dozen divers descended from different positions one after another, entering the water in pairs to search.

However, because it is not clear what the mysterious people were looking for in the first place, there is no clear goal in this search.

In recent years, Asian carp have invaded, and the reservoir is almost full of Asian freshwater fish such as grass carp and silver carp, and the French do not like this kind of fishy fish with big fish and many bones, no one will come here to catch them, and divers can often see large fish half the size of their bodies.

More than half an hour later, the first group of diving teams all went ashore, and the focus of the photos and reports was on many aquatic plants and many big fish, but a few groups also mentioned that there were some old buildings below.

Vershee had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly felt that these old buildings were an important direction.

He hesitated, but decided to report back to Cordell right away.

At the departmental headquarters in Paris, Kodell held the phone around his neck, signing documents and replying to his subordinates on the phone.

"Immediately drain all the water from the reservoir!"

Vershee was stunned on the other end of the phone, and then immediately reacted.

"Okay minister, I'll do it right away. ”

。。。

Since the construction of the reservoir on the tributaries of the Rhône, the water level has bottomed out only a handful of times since it was built in the sixties, and the last time it was a dam was repaired seven or eight years ago.

"Crunch, squeak..."

"Boom Rumble Boom~~"

The heavy gate slowly opened, and the 10,000-ton torrent gushed out, and the water level downstream suddenly rose, and with the discharge, countless big fish came out of the reservoir and were able to harm the downstream river.

It took 16 hours, and on the morning of the next day, that is, the moment when Tao Xingzhi was able to breathe after three days of argumentation and the moment when Mu Mu happily played with his new mobile phone.

The reservoirs in the tributaries of the Rhône were drained.

The helicopter hovered low, rippling the remaining puddles.

"Over there, go to that depression!"

The plane flew at an angle in the direction that Vershes was pointing.

Due to its low terrain and distance from other buildings that have not yet collapsed, the depression collects a remnant of the lake.

A relatively tall and strange building stands out in the sparkling surroundings, especially in the air because of the reflection of sunlight.

It's like the building is shining brightly.

。。。

In Kyoto, Huaguo, Tao Xingzhi took a nap in the office and recovered his energy.

"Dili Lili Lili~"

The ringing of the landline woke him up.

"Hey, I'm Tao Xingzhi, yes, um... What do you say?"

Tao Xingzhi stood up from his seat.

"I'll send someone right away, no, I'll go to France myself! I'll immediately apply for a visit and tell them that if they don't agree, they will postpone the cooperation plan, and I have that right now!"

In all fairness, you won't be happy to share it if you change it!

Tao Xingzhi, who was pacing back and forth in the office, still felt unsafe, so he directly dialed the phone of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then reported to Huanhai the information obtained through this abnormal channel and asked for pressure on the French authorities.
