Chapter 61: Monsters
What is certain is that there is a direct connection between the human corpse case and the military, and the five-person tactical team was also sent by the military, that is, some people in the military of country T are still obsessively making human corpses, and what is the purpose of the military?
Could it be to make legendary character weapons? Undead soldiers?
Wei Chi thought carefully, where did the military's technology for making human corpses come from? Do Americans have this technology? No, if the Americans had this technology, they couldn't have kept it in country T, so there were only two ways to source the technology - first, the undead soldier discovered during the Vietnam War; Second, it is the self-proclaimed immortal guy behind Guan Hongru.
Thinking of this, Wei Chiran said to Guan Hongru: "Can you wake up Xiangsha?" I have something to ask him. β
The reason why Wei Chiran wanted to wake up Xiangsha was because Xiangsha was almost confirmed to be a double agent, and what he hid from the lone army might be the most important part of the whole thing.
Guan Hongru changed his previous attitude, and obediently took out a bottle, poured something like glue from it, and smeared it under Xiangsha's nose.
Afterwards, Guan Hongru asked Xiangsha to sit down cross-legged, took out an incense burner, put some unknown medicinal herbs in it and lit it, and waved his hand to signal Wei Chiran and Feng Rui to stay away.
The green smoke in the incense burner rose, and Xiangsha's originally open eyes gradually closed, and it took at least ten minutes before they slowly opened again.
The moment his eyes opened, Xiangsha suddenly got up, looked around vigilantly, subconsciously touched his waist, touched the emptiness without saying anything, and at the same time saw Wei Chi Ran, who was standing not far away with a gun aimed at him.
Xiangsha looked at Guan Hongru and Feng Rui on the side separately, and finally spoke: "Where am I?" What did you do to me? β
Wei Chiran said, "What is the purpose of your coming here?" β
Xiangsha looked embarrassed and slowly walked towards Wei Chiran: "You listen to my explanation." β
The lieutenant retreated quickly, always keeping a distance of about three meters from Xiangsha: "Don't get any closer, I know you want to close the distance between us and grab the gun." β
Xiangsha was still approaching, and Wei Chiran directly pulled the trigger and fired a shot at his feet.
Wei Chi said: "I didn't laugh, just stand there and answer my question." β
Xiangsha hesitated for a moment, and his expression sank: "Is this a dumb village?" β
Wei Chiran said: "That's right, this is a dumb village, so we'd better not waste time." β
Xiangsha still didn't seem to plan to confess, Guan Hongru couldn't bear to step forward and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Wei Chi.
Wei said slowly: "Xiangsha, I don't plan to be rough. β
Xiangsha looked at Guan Hongru: "When I woke up, it seems that you have reached some kind of agreement, what happened during this time?" β
Wei Chiran said: "Xiangsha, I can feel that you are not willing to be this double agent, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, maybe we can help each other." β
Xiangsha hesitated for a long time and asked, "Why should I believe you?" β
Wei Chiran asked rhetorically, "Do you have a choice?" If you don't say it, you'll die here, the mission can't be completed, and this trip will be in vain. β
Xiangsha, who was standing there, carefully recalled what happened before he lost consciousness, and then he looked at Guan Hongru, he did recall, and now that the captain was in control of the situation, he was powerless to resist.
Xiangsha finally said, "My goal is to find the holy place of the dumb village. β
Guan Hongru immediately interjected and asked, "Why are you looking for a holy place?" β
Xiangsha replied, "I need to know the secrets hidden in the Holy Land, the secrets that can bring people back from the dead. β
Wei Chiran asked, "Who gave you the task?" Inside the military, who is still conducting human corpse experiments? β
Xiangsha hesitated for a long time, frowned, and said, "I just want to save my wife." β
Wife? Wei Chiran asked strangely, "Isn't your wife dead?" β
Xiangsha shook his head and said: "My children died because of me, but my wife is not dead, it is still in his hands, the corpse in the cemetery is fake, and the task he gave me is to pretend to cooperate with the lonely army, waiting for the opportunity to come to the dumb village and find the holy land." β
At this moment, Wei Chiran suddenly thought of something, he motioned to Feng Rui to look at Xiangsha, and he dragged Guan Hongru aside, and asked in a low voice: "In the valley on the other side, have you asked me, have you doubted your identity?" β
Guan Hongru confessed: "Yes, I have asked, this question was asked by that person, and I have repeatedly reiterated that it must be asked when we pass through the other side valley and you are delirious, although I have not received any answer from you. β
Why do you ask for this? And why does the Stygian want to know my information? Wei Chiran felt a little confused again, he pondered for a moment, and asked Xiangsha again: "Does the upper echelons of the military know what you have done?" Who are your heads? β
Xiangsha made a lot of determination before he said, "Dr. Ane." β
Dr. Ane? Wei Chi immediately thought of the three porcelain paintings hanging in the basement of the house, and the middle one was Dr. Ane.
But Wang Lun said that Dr. Ane had already died?
Wei Chiran asked: "The Dr. Ane you are talking about is the genius who has made a major breakthrough in biological research and studied cell regeneration?" β
Xiangsha nodded: "That's right, he is my direct boss and the head of our department." β
Dr. Ane is not dead? Is he the mastermind behind this? In other words, Ane's death back then was just a trick, he faked his death to deceive everyone, and then secretly carried out his own plan.
Wei said slowly: "Start from the beginning." β
Xiang Sha said: "In 1965, at the end of the Battle of the Derang Valley of the American-Vietnamese War, the U.S. military captured a North Vietnamese staff officer, because he had a strange book on his body, no one could understand it, and the U.S. military thought that this person had a certain value, so they took him back to the camp, but later after interrogation, it was found that it was just an ordinary soldier, and the strange book was not military intelligence. β
When Xiangsha said this, Wei Chi subconsciously looked at Feng Rui.
His intuition told him that this North Vietnamese soldier was most likely Feng Rui, but he didn't know whether it was Feng Rui's personality or Fang Xunyi who controlled his body and consciousness at that time?
After receiving the captive, the South Vietnamese side continued to interrogate him, extort a confession, and finally put him in a water prison.
The water prison is a particularly cruel method of detention, it can be said to be a kind of criminal law, and few people survive for three days, after all, a person who soaks in the river for a long time will have his skin festering.
Five days later, when the South Vietnamese opened the prison to retrieve the people, they found that all but the North Vietnamese soldier were dead, but he was still alive.
What is even more strange is that after the North Vietnamese soldier was fished up, it only took half an hour for the festering skin to basically recover as before, which surprised the South Vietnamese side and immediately notified the US military.
When the U.S. troops heard the news, they did not want to believe the unilateral statements of the South Vietnamese side, so they threw the soldier into a water prison and soaked him for five days.
This discovery surprised the U.S. military, but through observation and multi-faceted intelligence, they were sure that this should be an isolated case, and it was not because of what kind of cutting-edge biotechnology the North Vietnamese side controlled, after all, the North Vietnam at that time had no support from China and the Soviet Union, and it was extremely difficult for the North Vietnamese to unilaterally resist the United States.
The U.S. military conducted a simple study of the man, because the front-line technical support was not in place, and they tried to bring the NATO soldier, codenamed "Monster", back to the United States.
The reason why the code name is "Lingnan Monster" is derived from a book of folklore in Vietnam, "Lingnan Monster", but the US military privately calls it a leech.
But in the end, the U.S. military did not bring the monster back to its homeland, but took it to the U.S. ally, country T, and with the support of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the so-called joint research department was formed.
The U.S. military conducted a variety of experiments on soldiers codenamed Monsters, whether they killed Monsters with guns, electric shocks, or poisons, Monsters would regenerate within a certain period of time, and the time of rebirth depended on the damage suffered by Monsters.
However, because the monsters are so precious, they can't do in-depth experiments, such as amputating their limbs to see if they can grow back.
This experiment continued until the end of the U.S.-Vietnam War and when the U.S. military announced its withdrawal, because of the anti-war voice in the United States, they also had to withdraw all their people who remained in Southeast Asia, including researchers from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA.
It was at this time that problems arose at the research institute, and the soldier, codenamed Monster, began to resist, killing a large number of soldiers before eventually perishing with the research institute.
When Wei Chi heard this, he immediately asked, "Together?" He's dead? β
Xiangsha said: "That's what Dr. Ane said, saying that the monster finally died in the explosion of the research institute, and even a dinosaur would not survive an explosion of that magnitude." β
After the explosion, country T also stopped research, closed all research facilities above and below ground, and sold the land originally used by research institutions to commercial use, in order to cover up what it had done in the past, after all, during the US-Vietnam War, a large number of prisoners were reduced to experiments, and if discovered, country T is very likely to be sued in an international court.
This is one of the important reasons why the United States does not conduct research on its own soil.
Many years later, the first Nobel Prize-winning scientist was born in country T, Dr. Ane, who made a major breakthrough in the field of biology at a young age and discovered a way to regenerate cells, but his research was limited to theory at the time.
The reason for this was that science and technology were not developed at that time.
In order to catch up with the developed countries in this regard, country T gave Dr. Ane great power, and Dr. AnΓ© was able to discover the "monster" from the dusty archives.
With the support of the royal family, Dr. AnΓ© reopened the research institute for the study of human cell regeneration, and at this time, Dr. AnΓ© was warned of death, and PW began to intervene to protect Dr. AnΓ© in all aspects.
At this point in Xiangsha's narration, Wei Chiran also remembered what Wang Lun told him about the past, although Dr. Ane escaped the assassination of the extremist group, he was eventually hit by a car and died.
It's certainly not that simple, though.
Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Let me guess, the group of people who want to assassinate Dr. Ane are actually sent by the United States, right?" β
