"Just leave your phone here."

A man who looked like a soldier came to Nanshan Thatched Cottage, and the first thing he said after meeting him was to leave his mobile phone.

Zhang Bancheng nodded, took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket first, and gently put it on the coffee table. Although Liu Rumei and I were puzzled, we also took out our mobile phones like Zhang Bancheng and put them on the coffee table.

After watching us put our phones away, the soldier stepped forward and tested each of the three of us with a hand-held detector that I had never seen before.

I was very curious about this sudden battle, could it be that the place we were going to was a secret military base? In other words, is the fat man being treated in this mysterious military base? Curiosity is curiosity, I didn't inquire, just silently listened to the soldier's arrangement.

Liu Rumei's expression looked just as curious as mine. Looking at Zhang Bancheng next to him, he looked much calmer, calm and calm, I think he must have been there before.

……

A jeep with a military license plate drove on a winding mountain road.

There were four people in the jeep, the soldier was the driver, I sat in the passenger seat, and Liu Rumei and Zhang Bancheng sat in the back.

After the jeep left the Nanshan Thatched Cottage, it drove down the winding mountain road to the depths of the mountain. This is the remnant vein of Zhongtiao Mountain, the mountain is high and dense, and there are countless birds that have taken off from the vehicle. The winding road continued to go forward, and suddenly there was a fork in the trees on the side of the road, and its position was so inconspicuous that I would not have noticed it if it had not been for the jeep slowing down and driving in. After about a few hundred meters of further afield, a warning sign appeared on the side of the road that read, "Military Stronghold, Do Not Trespass", and the fence next to it was an iron fence with barbs.

Passing through the fence wall and continuing along the road for several hundred meters, a row of bungalows finally appeared in the depths of the dense forest ahead. When the vehicle approached, it was realized that the bungalow was actually just a gate, guarded by several soldiers.

On the black iron door, three huge black characters "653" are sprayed with white paint. My heart suddenly twitched, and I suddenly remembered that in my dream, I seemed to have heard the fat man mention the number of this unit. I'm a little dazed again, was it really just a dream before? Or am I still dreaming about it now?

The vehicle entered the middle gate, and a narrow and long tunnel appeared in front of us. The vehicle did not slow down and continued along the tunnel, and after about ten minutes, the front suddenly opened up, and it turned out that the tunnel was connected to a huge underground military fortress. This kind of scene, which I think can only be seen in TV movies, suddenly appears in front of my eyes, and the shock is indescribable.

After getting out of the car, the fighter quickly left, leaving only the three of us in place.

Liu Rumei obviously hadn't been here like me, and she asked, "Dad, where is this?" ”

Zhang Bancheng smiled and said, "As you can see, this is a military base. ”

She continued to ask, "Dad, have you been here before?" ”

Zhang Bancheng nodded.

I looked around at the military base that looked like a giant warehouse and asked Zhang Bancheng, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" ”

I originally thought that Zhang Bancheng would not answer, but I didn't expect him to answer this question: "Here...... It's used to keep secrets. ”

"Oh." I nodded, and didn't ask any further. I have to say that his answer is very cunning, which can explain the problem without revealing a trace of information.

Guarding the secret, building such a huge underground military fortress in the hinterland of Nakajo Mountain, I really can't think of anything else than this answer. But what will be the secret it guards?

Just as I was looking down and thinking, an iron door opened on the side, and several soldiers walked out of it, and one of the leaders greeted us from a distance as soon as he saw us: "Hello, Mr. Zhang hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

"Commissar Lu, long time no see."

Zhang Bancheng hurriedly greeted him, and Liu Rumei and I also followed, and after meeting, we made a brief introduction to each other. After a short greeting, this political commissar Lu took the three of them to officially enter the iron gate of the base.

When I got closer, I realized that it was an airtight door, the kind with a fingerprint combination lock, which looked high-end.

Upon entering, there is a long hallway, which is more like a high-end hospital corridor than the empty and humble hall outside. Whether it is the lighting decoration or the wall floor, it is simple and bright, and it feels very comfortable to walk in, which is completely different from the kind of underground passage you imagined. There were many airtight doors with codes on both sides of the passage, and they were all tightly closed, and I didn't know what was inside.

Political Commissar Lu led us on for about 200 meters, and finally stopped in front of an airtight door. He opened the door and motioned for us to go inside.

He looked at me suspiciously, smiled and said, "Your friend is inside." ”

I was surprised and asked, "Wang Bo?" ”

He nodded, smiled and made a gesture of please.

A group of several people, fish in.

The situation in the room was a bit unexpected to me. I thought it was a ward, and there had to be a bed in it, and then the fat man lay on it, with a few tubes more or less stuck in his body. As a result, the room was empty and empty, except for the airtight door behind it and the two tubes overhead that were lit white.

"This ......" I was a little puzzled, pointing to this room and wanting to ask the political commissar Lu.

"Oh?" Political Commissar Lu immediately realized what I was about to say, and hurriedly turned around and gestured to a soldier next to him.

The soldier walked briskly to the wall, pressed a spot on the wall, and then a panel popped up on the smooth wall with a few buttons. When he pressed one of the buttons, the whole wall facing the airtight door lit up, and the room behind the wall lit up, and I realized that it was a whole wall of clear glass.

The situation in the room was the same as I had imagined before, like a simple hospital room, the fat man lying motionless on the bed, with various tubes stuck in his body, some medical instruments and other equipment next to the bed, and nothing else.

I leaned on the glass wall and shouted loudly to the fat man, but the fat man inside didn't seem to hear it, and still lay on the bed without moving.

I turned to look at the political commissar Lu and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Don't worry, he's fine." Political Commissar Lu smiled and said, "You know about hemodialysis, right?" ”

I nodded.

Political Commissar Lu continued: "The treatment he is receiving now is similar to dialysis, which is also to use instruments to remove toxins from the blood. ”

"Toxin?" I frowned and asked, "So he's poisoned?" ”

"yes." Political Commissar Lu did not hide it, and continued: "He was bitten by an adult leech, fortunately the worm did not ovulate in his body, otherwise he would have been a pile of white bones by now." ”

"Wait, I have a question." I know about the fat man being bitten by the worm, but I know that this matter is only between me, the fat man and Liu Rumei, and we don't know what this bug is called, how do the soldiers here know?

I briefly said my question, and after hearing this, Political Commissar Lu nodded, and then said: "We have been paying attention to the affairs of Lonely Mountain, so after the three of you came back from Lonely Mountain, we arranged for someone to approach you, and accidentally discovered that your friend had been poisoned. ”

Although he said vaguely, I could tell that they were not enemies, so I could not delve into them, but asked, "So, you know what that worm is?" ”

Political Commissar Lu replied: "We have studied for a long time and found that this insect is somewhat similar to leeches when it is larvae, so we call it a black leech, but it is a completely different species from leeches. They catch bodily fluids and can dissolve limestone, swallow it inside, and then spit it out when needed to recondense into limestone. They feed on animal flesh and blood, and can devour the flesh of their prey in a very short time, only adults suck blood, but they will ovulate in the prey while sucking blood, and after hatching, the larvae will slowly kill the host. ”

Political Commissar Lu was able to say this, obviously he had an in-depth understanding of this kind of insect, but it had only been a short month since the discovery of the ruins of the Feather Human Race, where did they learn this information? I said the confusion in my heart as it was, but after listening to it, Political Commissar Lu smiled and said, "The ruins of the Feather Human Clan are not just a lonely mountain. ”

"I see." I nodded, and then asked, "What about us?" Why should you follow us? There are far more people entering the archaeological site than just the three of us, right? ”

Political Commissar Lu thought for a while and said, "It's inconvenient to disclose this now, but you will understand when you have a chance in the future." ”

I continued to ask, "So what are you going to do when you come to me this time?" It should be more than just letting me look at my friends through a glass wall, right? ”

"Hmm." Political Commissar Lu nodded, and then said, "Of course, there is something more important to come to you, but before that, I need to give you a comprehensive examination, you should also know that you have a problem with your body, right?" ”

"Something went wrong?" I was puzzled and asked, "Do you mean that in the cave I can't see and have a fever?" ”

Political Commissar Lu: "Yes. ”

I hesitated: "This ...... How do you know? ”

Zhang Bancheng came over and patted me on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I, your Uncle Zhou, and your grandfather, we are all on the same front." ”

"Someone from the military?" I asked.

"Cooperation." Zhang Bancheng only said two simple words, but this already contains a huge amount of information. I can figure it out that he and Zhou Xingyao cooperated with the military, but how could grandpa also be involved, it seems that I will have to find time to go back and ask him about the old man in the future.

At this time, the fat man on the hospital bed suddenly sat up, looked at the various tubes inserted in his arm expressionlessly, and then moved his gaze to the medical equipment on the side sluggishly, and suddenly lay straight and straight back after more than ten seconds.

I was amazed at the sudden change and hurriedly shouted at him, but he still didn't respond.

Political Commissar Lu on the side smiled and said to me: "This friend of yours is also a strange person, and he has done strange things these days......
