Chapter 154: The land is sparsely populated
The location framed by the Ministry of Information is Mongolia.
When Zhang Ming was rushing from Lila Prison to the headquarters building, Colonel Binger called him to tell him.
Where are the two mining sites of the Hairen except Siberia, Zhang Ming naturally trusts the analysis and judgment of the Ministry of Information.
During this time, Li Zhizhi was about to enter the fifth stage by going out to perform tasks and practice styles, and he had matured a lot. Zhang Ming was busy in Lila Prison, and she was not idle except for participating in the Ministry of Information's research on intelligence and deducing where the Hairen mining site was most likely.
Li Zhizhi used less than an hour of free time to buy clothes and items needed to travel to Mongolia in Amsterdam, which made Zhang Ming feel the peace of mind of carrying out tasks with this girl for the first time.
Mongolia is sparsely populated, and it is rare to see a cluster of high-rise buildings - this is the experience of Zhang Ming and Li Zhizhi sitting on the plane and looking down.
After getting off the plane, Li Zhizhi's first words when he first stepped on the land of Mongolia were: The climate and environment are not a little worse than Guyana.
"When we destroy the two mining sites, I will come forward and take another month off to live in Guyana for 30 days." Zhang Ming said.
Li Zhizhi said happily: "Okay, okay, let's talk about live counting!" The tent and cooking business are still waiting for us in Guyana. ”
Their destination was Ulan Gumu, Mongolia, near the border with Siberia in Russia, and the plane flew only to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. On the way to Ulan Gumu, I saw that towns and villages were scarce.
"I've read the information that Mongolia is sparsely populated because it's cold, and they like to drink alcohol to drive away the cold, so, that's why ......" Li Zhizhi couldn't go on talking, and stumbled a few "so".
Zhang Ming knows that Mongolia's climatic conditions are poor, and the local people drink alcohol to ward off the cold, and for a long time, they have relied on alcohol, and alcohol is lethal to men's sperm, resulting in the country's population base has not been able to rise.
He deliberately asked, "What's wrong with drinking to ward off the cold?" So much 'so', so what? ”
"So, alas, in short, it affects fertility......" squinted his eyes, and found that Zhang Ming was snickering, and punched over, "You big villain!" Kid me, huh? ”
Zhang Ming couldn't help laughing: "I'm still a college student, I'm embarrassed to even say scientific words." ”
Ulan Gumu is equivalent to the capital of a province, but it looks like an ordinary town in Huaxia.
Unlike in the past, wherever Zhang Ming went, the local military sent someone to pick him up and provide accommodation or transportation convenience.
This time, as Binger had said before leaving, he might not get much help.
Zhang Ming doesn't care about this. It's better to help, it's just a little more troublesome if it doesn't help yourself.
Ulan Gumu was just a place where they got off the plane, far from the border mountains where they were going. Zhang Ming spent a lot of money on a car in the local area, but only half of the journey was taken, there was no road ahead, and there were still hundreds of kilometers of deserted land, all relying on two legs.
Walking is nothing to the two of them. Zhang Ming needless to say. Although Li Zhizhi's sensitive attribute is relatively weak, she is far from comparable in speed and endurance in terms of speed and endurance at nearly five stages.
To the Russian border, all the way is grasslands and hills, there are many lakes and weirs, in addition to the cold weather, the high pressure of the plateau brings some discomfort, the scenery is still very good.
The area outlined by the SVP Information Department is only half a thumb on the map – thousands of kilometers from Ulan Gumu to Siberia. Only when you really come to this place can you realize: the scope of the search is so large that people have a feeling of "looking at the ocean and sighing".
The vast grasslands and hills are endless.
And if the mining point of the sea people is placed on the map and the location can be marked, it can only be found with a high-definition magnifying glass.
The feeling after "looking at the ocean and sighing" is "looking for a needle in a haystack".
Besides, this "needle" is not in this "ocean". The mining point of the sea people is inferred based on the high probability of intelligence, and the accuracy rate reaches 60%, even if it burns high incense.
Regardless of whether this needle is here or not, fish it first, fish it to earn, and you can't fish it in another place.
Li Zhizhi said that on several maps sent back by satellites, extremely blurry images of a small group of people not far from the border between Ulan Gumu and Russia were taken. Comparing the analysis of several graphs, the number of people is between forty and sixty. After understanding with the local government department, it was confirmed that it was an uninhabited area and had not yet been commercially developed.
At that time, the technicians of the Ministry of Information wondered if the black dots in the picture could be herders' sheep. This hypothesis has been ruled out after verification. The local authorities said that the place was not suitable for grazing at all, there were many swamps, and the aquatic grass was not luxuriant, and the map sent back by the satellite was half a month ago, which was the cold winter of Mongolia, the grass was withered and the trees were yellow, and the sheep had entered the pen and were raised on stored hay.
Judging from the past exploration data, the area is extremely rich in mineral resources, and there is no shortage of 20 kinds of minerals found by experts from the powder seized by the "Mining Department".
Zhang Mingxin said it was no wonder that the Ministry of Information chose this place as the first choice for the other two mining sites.
Why not send troops or use other methods to search this large area, and rely on Zhang Ming and Li Zhizhi's painstaking search, it is difficult to say the specific situation, after all, international organizations at this time only have the right to make suggestions and urge countries.
This time, unlike going to Guyana to practice the style, you need to live in a fixed place for more than a month, but you are tossing and turning, and you don't have any tents and daily necessities prepared, only bringing the warm clothes and a small amount of food that can be stored by Li Zhizhi. Therefore, when it was dark, they had to sleep in the open.
Zhang Ming's plan is to go to the place where the satellite shows human activity, and start searching for it within a radius of several hundred kilometers. Practice while searching, and don't delay.
It took them five days to reach the framed location.
Nothing was discovered along the way.
That night, they walked through the snow and found a sheltered valley. Li Zhizhi threw down the stick he was holding, brushed the snow off the stones, sat down and gasped.
The little girl is really tired. Walking in the snow was already difficult, Zhang Ming walked fast again, Li Zhizhi didn't want to drag his feet, gritted his teeth and kept up. Sitting on the stone at this moment, the little apple's cheekbones were red, his breath was uneven, and his head was still "buzzing".
Zhang Ming's heart was like a mirror, how could he not know that Li Zhizhi followed desperately and persevered for several days. It's not that he doesn't hesitate to pity her, he consciously exercises her.
He always felt that it had been too smooth in recent times, clearing most of the threats from the sea people on land. But then the seafarers were forced to remake their plans, posing an uncertain threat to land. The plan of the sea people to erode the land and eventually destroy the land people is their top priority, and it is impossible to stop it because it is hit.
The battle that is coming is bound to be harder and more brutal.
Especially he and Li Zhizhi, since they are fighting on the front line, they are likely to face high-level pursuit, and if they don't step up their training, they will grow as soon as possible in terms of special abilities, and the result is self-evident: they will be erased.
Providence provided by Gate: Sea Man for Land Captain. This is undoubtedly a signal: the new strategy of the sea people will come with the new captain, and the methods will be more brutal and harsh after the lessons are learned.
"What are you thinking?" Li Zhizhi saw Zhang Ming sitting silently on the side in a daze, and patted him on the face.
Zhang Ming thought that this girl had a sense of distress, at least high vigilance was good for saving her life. So I told her what I had just thought.
Li Zhizhi seems to have no heart and lungs, but he is actually very sober in the face of major events.
She very much agrees with Zhang Ming's analysis: "I have a hunch that the new captain must not be simple. They are not necessarily much better than Gater in terms of resourcefulness, because they are also just machines, but they must be higher than Gate's rank...... Even, he may bring a few masters up. It's hard to say about other tasks, but there is a certain ......" said and paused, looking at Zhang Ming with his eyes.
"Which one is certain? Excuse me. Zhang Ming didn't hear the following, and urged.
"Kill you!" Li Zhizhi sank for a long time, and suddenly said three words in a hoarse voice.
blurted out three words, which startled Zhang Ming. He pinched Li Zhizhi's nose fiercely: "Dead girl, deliberately create a terrifying atmosphere, scary, right?" ”
Zhang Ming's hand was a little heavy, and Li Zhizhi's tears welled up when he was pinched.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand: "It's not to scare my brother, you see, we've been together for a long time, right?" No matter how you say it, it's a little emotional. I'll be sad if you die. ”
No matter how Zhang Ming listened, he felt that Li Zhizhi's words meant a lot, but when he said it, he felt that it was nothing. It's normal to get along with people and have a little bit of affection after a long time. So without thinking deeply, he continued on the original topic: "As soon as I came up in the sea, I was ready, and the people of the sea would not let go of the traitors in their eyes, especially me, the traitor who destroyed their initial plan. As long as the rank is not too high, I believe that the problem of self-protection is not too big, let alone having strong backing such as SVP and RT. I'm worried about you, in your current special ability, there is no attack, there is no escape, how can you protect yourself when the time comes? ”
I don't know if Zhang Ming's tears pinched his nose were not broken, or he was sad about the tears that came out, Li Zhizhi kept wiping his tears:
"Say, who are we going to provoke? A good vacation was wasted, and they got it into the sea to make such a show, and they couldn't live a stable life......"
Zhang Ming was really sad to see Li Zhizhi, stretched out his hand to hug her, gently patted his dark and shiny hair and said: "Don't, completely eradicate the magic grasp of the sea people reaching out to the land, we are the heroes who protect mankind, how many people want to be this hero is not qualified!" ”
"Whoever wants to be it, I don't want to be!" raised his head and looked at Zhang Ming with big teary eyes, "I don't want to die, and I won't let you die!" ”
Looking at Li Zhizhi's serious appearance, Zhang Ming smiled: "Okay, all of us have to live well...... Just now, there is a stone nest on the other side of the hill, go there to avoid the cold, and see that the tip of your nose is red from the cold. ”
The two of them climbed over the hill, and sure enough, there was a stone den under the hill, not much bigger than a dog kennel.
The two of them went in and remembered that it was very strange:
In the uninhabited wasteland, who is running this nest for?
Zhang Ming was still wondering. Suddenly, Li Zhizhi shouted: "It's a sea man, a sea spy, and there is a smell of sea spy......
