In the open space in front of the laboratory, Li Rusong only saw seven or eight people eating with their heads bored, and asked Gu Jianjun curiously, "Xiao Gu, why are there only these few people?" Aren't there more than twenty people? ”

"The rest squatted at a few points, and when this side was finished, then changed shifts. By the way, Brother Li, my sister-in-law's cooking is really good, you are blessed! ”

Li Rusong said curtly, "Hehe, it's ...... average."

"Tomorrow, your sister-in-law Zhang Min said to add vegetables, scrambled eggs with leeks!" I suddenly said something out of place.

Gu Jianjun asked inexplicably, "Brother Cheng, what's the difference between this leek scrambled egg?" ”

I deliberately replied blankly, "I don't know, what Zhang Min's sister-in-law said to Lao Li earlier, you ask him, right?" ”

Li Rusong looked at Gu Jianjun, who was full of doubts, and said in a mournful voice, "Hehe, what's that...... That is, the leeks are relatively fresh......"

Seeing Li Rusong's expression of eating flies, I smiled in my heart and decided not to tease him, "By the way, Xiao Gu, let's not mention the matter of leeks first." When you set up your post in the afternoon, did you find anything? ”

Gu Jianjun thought for a while and replied, "I didn't find anything abnormal in the periphery, but I always feel a little weird in the laboratory......"

As soon as he said, I came to the spirit of "Oh? What is the problem? ”

"I feel that it's a laboratory, but it's better to say it's a prison, Brother Cheng, come and see!"

As he spoke, Gu Jianjun stood up from the ground and guided me to look at the laboratory.

"Two-thirds of the laboratory building is deep into the mountain, revealing only one-third of the protrusion, which is what we see now."

"My aunt calculated that the exterior wall of the building is almost half a meter thick, and the material is reinforced concrete, which is very stocky. I found several bullet holes in the walls and floor of the laboratory building, and the bullet holes were very shallow, indicating that the materials used in the construction were sufficient. ”

"The building is outside the mountain, and the windows are relatively normal, just like the school hospital. However, in the part of the mountain, it was impossible to build windows, so ventilation ducts had to be built. ”

"However, there were no external ventilation ducts, and a very strange internal ventilation duct design was used, which had obvious drawbacks and would make ventilation poor. This design is rarely used unless it is for safety reasons and not to let anything out. ”

"In that part of the room in the mountain, there are some shallow pits and rust on the door frame, judging from the diameter of the shallow pits, it is almost more than three centimeters, and there is no power port for the peripherals."

"Finally, there's the open space in front of the lab, oh, where we're standing now. If you pull up the barbed wire fence on this open space and build a guard post at each of the four corners, you can include the main body of the laboratory and the dirt roads around the mountain, down the mountain, and up the mountain into the observation point. ”

Hearing him say this, I gasped, Gu Jianjun was right, this is more like a prison. Could it be that the purpose of the construction of the laboratory in the first place was to create experimental subjects who are tired of the National Day theory?

It seems that what Ni Guoqing said can't be trusted, if he is really the captain of the security guard, his body is not very clean, about the story he said, it is necessary to wait for Wu Shaodong and others to meet, and make a detailed visit to the villagers.

Seeing that Gu Jianjun had nothing to lose, I said to him, "Xiao Gu, you are very meticulous in your observation, listening to you say this, I also feel that something is wrong, what else have you found?" ”

"There's nothing else, oh, it's just weird, there are a few rooms with cement tables that I don't know what to do."

Li Rusong interjected: "Will it be like that kind of dissecting table or something?" ”

"It's possible, but now that everything in the lab can be moved has been moved, I'm really not sure what it is." I don't want to speculate, I think it's better to find an opportunity to ask a professional.

I felt that since there were no other clues now, I would simply deal with the clues in front of me first, so I said to the two, "Forget it, don't think about it too much, let's solve the mystery in my hand first, Xiao Gu will arrange it after dinner, and Lao Li and I will also participate in the vigil." ”

Gu Jianjun nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's arrange it together after eating." ”

On the following night, Li Rusong and I took turns to participate in the vigil, but nothing happened and nothing unusual happened.

May 4th, the 7th day in Mingyue Village

Early in the morning, Zhang Min and Jiang Lina followed the soldiers who came to change shifts and came to bring us breakfast. After breakfast, I asked the two of them to go back first, and then let the soldiers stationed in the hostel deliver lunch, and Li Rusong and I would come back in the evening to finish eating if they were fine.

After breakfast, we chatted for a while, and when we saw that the sky was already bright, we proposed to go to the mountain temple to have a look.

At the gate of the mountain temple, I asked the next soldier who was on the night watch if there was anything unusual, and he told me that there was no movement all night, and I said that I understood, and asked him and the other three to go to the other shift to rest.

Standing at the gate of the mountain temple, looking at this small temple of only more than 20 square meters, I can't understand why there was no movement all night if I was not wrong yesterday.

Li Rusong saw that I was not moving at the gate of the temple now, and asked, "Old Cheng, what do you want?" ”

I shook my head, "Didn't think of anything, let's go inside." ”

After that, I was the first to walk into this small temple. The space in the temple is limited, and there are dry weeds and some scattered debris piled up on the ground. The light was shining through a few holes in the roof, and the ash on all four walls was almost gone, and the walls were covered with cobwebs and some black spots that I don't know what they were.

Gu Jianjun and Li Rusong then followed up in the temple, and Li Rusong walked around, saying that he also found nothing. Just when I was wondering if it was really presbyopia yesterday, Gu Jianjun suddenly shouted, "Brother Cheng, Brother Li, come and see!" ”

Li Rusong and I walked behind him and saw that he was using it to inspect a rammed earth mound, which should have been the base of the original mountain god statue.

Li Rusong asked, "Xiao Gu, what's wrong with this mound?" ”

"Look, there's a hole under this broken plank!" Gu Jianjun pointed to a badly rotten door panel on the mound in front of him.

Li Rusong and I glanced at each other, stepped forward and lifted the door panel, and the moment the door panel was lifted, a deep hole appeared in front of us.

The diameter of this hole is almost one meter, and due to the poor lighting in the temple, it is difficult to see how deep it is. Gu Jianjun touched the inner wall of the hole with his hand, picked off a little dirt and put it on his nose to smell it, then turned back to us and said, "The inner wall is smooth, there should be something in and out often, and there is a faint fishy smell in the soil, how to say it, it is a bit like a fishy smell." ”

"Did you bring a flashlight?"

"Bring it," Gu Jianjun took out a tactical flashlight and handed it to me.

I took the flashlight, shone it into the hole, and with the light of the light, I estimated that the depth was about 4 meters or 5 meters, and I vaguely saw a tunnel on one side of the hole.

Li Rusong looked at the hole and asked me, "Can't get down?" ”

"Let me think about it, let's go out first" Although I would like to go down as soon as possible, but at the moment we are not equipped enough, and it is easy to have an accident if we go down rashly.

Back outside the mountain temple, I scattered a cigarette for everyone and said, "It's not good, Lao Li, according to Ni Guoqing, those monsters don't have much wisdom. It is impossible for the door panel in the temple to cover itself inexplicably, could it be that some monsters did it? ”

Li Rusong scolded, "Fuck, Lao Cheng, don't scare me, if some monsters did it, it means that they are beginning to have wisdom, it's too terrifying!" ”

"Brother Cheng, what do you think about it?"

I smoked a few puffs of cigarette with my head down, and after thinking about it, I felt that I had to be cautious about this matter, "Xiao Gu, you call your superiors and ask for instructions." There is a certain risk in this matter, I can't be the master, you see what their opinions are, do you want to go into the hole. ”

Gu Jianjun nodded, walked to the side and called the leader for instructions.

About ten minutes later, Gu Jianjun finished the phone call, came over to us and said, "The superior has asked for it, and it has been decided to go down the cave now." I'll arrange it, Brother Cheng, Brother Li, you wait for me. ”

With that, he trotted over in the direction of the lab.

After Gu Jianjun left, Li Rusong asked me, "Just decided in such a hurry?" ”

I knew the work habits of the troops, and I replied helplessly, "I hope nothing happens......

Two hours later, the temple was torn down in its entirety, and the broken bricks and rubble were cleaned aside. A simple bracket was also erected on the hole, and after installing the pulley, Gu Jianjun tried to pull the rope and felt that it was quite strong, and then he and the soldiers who were about to go down the hole began to sort out the equipment.

Seeing this, Li Rusong asked me, "Can't we get down?" ”

"I'll go down, you stay!" After all, Li Rusong has not done the corresponding training, and I don't want him to go down to take risks.

He thought for a while, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll stay on top, you didn't come up after an hour, I'll be in charge of the second team going down to the rescue!" ”

I patted him on the shoulder, walked over to Gu Jianjun, and changed into a camouflage uniform and tactical leather boots. Then I looked at the guns on the ground, and felt that the assault rifle was inconvenient to use in that environment, so I picked a ***, although the firepower was a little worse, but a ** had 15 bullets.

There were a total of 5 people who were going to go down plus me, a warrior nicknamed Xiaoji took the lead, followed by Gu Jianjun, me and two other fighters.

The chicks who took the lead inserted a 10-centimeter-long glow stick into the wall of the hole every half a meter, and a total of 9 were inserted before reaching the bottom of the pit.

Since the hole was straight up and down, and the diameter of the bottom of the pit was almost one meter, the chick had no way to stop and wait for the follow-up, so he had to climb into a tunnel with a height of only half a meter.

Seeing the chick slowly disappear from our eyes, Gu Jianjun nodded to me and motioned for him to go down first.

A few minutes later, all five of us were kneeling in the tunnel, crawling like cattle. The tunnel was cramped, and the air inside was very humid and muddy, so we didn't have long to climb and were soaking wet. I could feel the tunnel slowly descending as I crawled, and after about half an hour of crawling, I felt a slight cool breeze blowing on my face, thinking that this was a good sign.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the leading chick to suddenly poke forward, and then crawled out of the tunnel, and soon we followed him, and all of them climbed out one after another.

Climbing out of the tunnel, we entered a natural cave, and by the light of the tactical flashlight, we found that this space is not small, almost the size of a football field, and the height is more than ten meters. The cave is divided into two sections by a dark river about two meters wide, and I dipped my hands in some water and smelled it, and there was a strong smell of sea.

Gu Jianjun motioned to everyone to check the cave separately on the premise of ensuring their own safety.

I inserted a glow stick at the mouth of the tunnel leading to the cave and joined the exploration team, which was slow due to the lighting.

About 5 minutes later, a soldier suddenly called us over, following the direction of his voice, everyone quickly gathered behind him, Gu Jianjun saw that the personnel were gathered, and asked him, "What did you find?" ”

The soldier shone his tactical flashlight into the darkness in front of him, and by the light of the flashlight, everyone could faintly see a three-story building.

Seeing the scene in front of us, we all raised our flashlights and shone at the mysterious building, and one of the rays of light flashed on the wall.

Curiously, I moved the flashlight to the position I had just shone, and found that there were several huge golden copperplate characters on the door frame of the first floor gate. So I slowly swept the flashlight beam from left to right, and I found the few I had seen on the information sent by Huang Xiaosong:

"Kent Marine Life Genomics Laboratory"
