Chapter 9: Super Hearing

"How did you get back?"

"I don't know what's going on. I remember I fell asleep in a pharmacy in Venice, and then I had a dream in which I flew back to Beijing and when I woke up you called me. ”

"According to what you say, you are returning to Beijing in a dream!"

"Yes, in a dream. I also have a friend who came back with me in a dream, but when I woke up, she was gone. ”

"Oh! It's gone. ”

"Yes, it's gone. The strangest thing was that there was a smell of her in the room, and I also found her phone. ”

"There is such a strange thing in the world."

"Director Lin, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I won't hide it from you, the girl who came back with me in my dream may be dead."

"How do you know she's dead?"

"Her name is Wendys, and she is the girl who kept crying when I was connected to the information center, and I watched her disappear from my side."

Speaking of this, Cong Lu's eyes turned a little red.

"I remember you were all wearing hazmat suits, so how did she disappear?"

"She died to save me."

Thinking that Wendys would disappear to save herself, she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears from the road.

"Report." The voice was very loud, and when you heard it, you knew it was a veteran.

"Come in."

The veteran was accompanied by a dog, similar to the one led by the soldier who had escorted him from the road.

"Report to the chief, there was a stampede at Fort 7 due to the unfavorable movement of personnel, which killed a total of 43 people and injured 247."

Hearing only a bang, Director Lin slapped the table and stood up and scolded: "A group of useless things, when did you poke such a big basket for Lao Tzu, do you know who the person in charge is."

"Report chief, yes, is the commander of the 6th Regiment of the 33rd Battalion of the Eastern District." This time, the veteran's voice was clearly a little lacking.

"Remove him from his post and let him go to the front line to search for disaster victims, and if he is not dead after the disaster, let him lead the army himself."

Judging from Director Lin's tone and attitude, he seems to have an unusual relationship with the commander of the 33rd Regiment. Because when he gave the order, his fists were clenched very tightly, and his breathing was extremely heavy.

"Yes." The veteran received the order to give a military salute, and then turned and was led out by the dog.

After a while, another dog led a soldier to see Director Lin.

"Report."

"Come in."

"Report chief, Dr. Chen is here."

"Let him in."

After receiving the order, the puppy led the soldier out.

As the soldier's figure looked, he noticed from the road that almost every officer and soldier outside had a dog next to him.

He asked with some curiosity, "Why did they all lead a dog, is it a military dog?" ”

"No, the military dogs have been sent out to search and rescue, these are the leading dogs called at zero hour."

Guiding Dogs! The name puzzled Conglu, and he asked, "Can't you hear the road?" ”

Director Lin thought that he was wrong from the road and corrected: "I can't see the road."

As soon as he blurted out the words, Director Lin immediately stared at Conglu with wide eyes.

"Can you see it?"

"It's not to be seen, it's to be heard."

Director Lin was a little puzzled and said, "You mean that you can hear the road?"

Just then, a dog led a soldier into the room with Dr. Chen.

As soon as Dr. Chan came in, he pointed to the road as if he had discovered a new continent and said, "This is the tinder?"

Conglu glared at Dr. Chen with some anger.

"Old man, you can't speak!"

"You go on, how did you hear the way?" Director Lin did not greet Dr. Chen, but motioned to continue from the road.

Turning his head from the road, he explained: "My hearing has become stronger since the darkness shrouded me, and I can hear my surroundings by the spread of sound, and I can also judge the position of objects by the amount of echoes."

In the middle of his sentence, Dr. Chan behind him waved his right hand and slapped it towards his head.

From Lu Meng, he lowered his head, leaned forward with his body, and easily dodged over.

"Dead old man, what are you doing!"

The old man opened his mouth wide but didn't reply, just kept that funny posture and stared at Conglu dumbfounded, while Director Lin on the other side of the table also looked surprised.

"How can this !!?" The two said in unison.

At this time, he was in a daze, he originally thought that everyone was the same as himself, and as long as he calmed down, he could find his changes.

But judging from the attitudes of the two in front of him, it seems that his idea is wrong, as if he is just an exception.

"Report." This report from the soldier at the door broke the somewhat eerie atmosphere in the room.

"Ahem! In. ”

"Report to the chief, a herd of beasts was found in the west of the city, and the search and rescue work was forced to stop, please ask the chief for instructions."

"Bastard, where are the beasts in the city?" Director Lin's words were visibly full of anger.

The soldier who communicated continued with a sad face: "According to the information provided by the front-line soldiers, it should be a stray animal in the whole city."

Director Lin slapped the table again and reprimanded: "A bunch of useless things, a few cats and dogs can't deal with it?"

"You may have misunderstood them."

The reason why Conglu would help them speak was because he heard the situation over there, and the two words of the beast herd spoken by the soldiers who summoned him could not express the tragedy of the scene at all.

What kind of beast herd is that, it can be said to be an animal kingdom, not to mention dozens of search and rescue dogs, even if it is an elite group, it is estimated that it can only be used as cannon fodder.

Director Lin glanced at Conglu and said, "If you kid knows, say it quickly."

At this time, he still knew the priorities from the road, and he didn't sell anything and said with a straight face: "If I heard correctly, there should be more than 7 million cats and dogs in the cats and dogs you said."

When they heard this number, the faces of the three people in the room changed, but they had not finished speaking.

"In addition to countless insects, there are probably more than 686 million animals there, including more than 532 million mice, more than 133 million food animals such as chickens, ducks and rabbits, and more than 13 million animals of various types in zoos."

As the numbers were reported one by one, the eyes of the three of them widened and widened.

At this moment, sitting from the mouth of Director Lin on the other side of the road, it is estimated that he can stuff two large hamburgers.

After a while, the soldier at the door came to his senses and muttered, "532 million, plus 133 million, plus 13 million equals 678 million, no!" Didn't you say there were 686 million? So where did the remaining 8 million go? ”

He turned his head unhurriedly, and teased with an idiotic look: "I didn't expect your arithmetic to be quite good."

The soldier looked full of confidence, and said with some pride: "How can this simple method of addition and subtraction be difficult for me?"

He took his words from the road and said in a flat tone: "There are more than 7 million cats and dogs that are not worth mentioning in the mouth of your chief."

After saying that, the soldiers at the door and the director Lin behind them all showed embarrassed expressions.

At this moment, Conglu suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and he felt a pair of disgusting eyes staring at him behind him.

When he turned his head suddenly, he found that Dr. Chen next to him was staring at him with a look like a first love, as if he was coveting his body.

"Old man, what are you looking at?"

As he spoke, he shifted from the side of the road.

"How do you figure out the data?"

Conglu put out a fork with both hands, and said in a somewhat frightened tone: "Listen with your ears!" ”

Before Director Lin could ask, the soldier behind him took two steps forward and retorted: "Impossible, this place is more than 30 kilometers west of the city, how did you hear that?"

Turn back from the road and put one hand on the chair and pose like you believe it or not.

"Believe it or not."

"I believe it." I thought the scene would be embarrassing, but I didn't expect Dr. Chen, who was standing next to him, to stand up and express his belief.

Director Lin looked at Dr. Chen and said, "How can you be sure that what he said is true?"

Dr. Chen turned his head to look at Director Lin and analyzed, "Before you leave, let us analyze that video, do you remember?"

Director Lin nodded, "Hmm".

Dr Chan continued, "At first, we didn't find anything special, and it wasn't until we combined all the dark ray coverage areas captured by the satellite that we realized that the white on the image was a region."

Perhaps a little tired from standing for a long time, Dr. Chen groped his way to sit down on a chair next to the road and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be an unknown force in this dark ray, and all the animals have to gather together in order to fight that force."

As Dr. Chen spoke, Conglu also muttered to himself.

"No wonder no matter how far I listen, the sound of breathing is always one piece at a time, so that's what happened."

"No matter how far you listen," Mr. Lin and Dr. Chan repeated from the road.

Immediately, as if they had discovered something, the two of them asked in unison, "Do you mean, are there groups of voices in places where you can hear?"

Conglu nodded ignorantly.

But the two of them were immediately stupid! You know, there are 3 time zones covered by the dark rays.

If Dr. Chen's assumption is correct, it means that a sound can be heard from the road outside the range of the dark rays, at least 1,000 kilometers away.

This time, even Dr. Chen couldn't believe what he said.

Dr. Chen always thought that there was some unknown signal in the dark rays that perfectly matched the brainwaves of Conglu, which is why Conglu had such an ability to defy the sky.

But now it seems that this is not the case, and the degree of rebellion from the road has exceeded his imagination.

Director Lin thought for a while and said to Conglu: "In this way, let's do an experiment now, I will order a group of people to shout your name, you try to see if you can find them."

Immediately, Director Lin made a long-distance phone call and ordered the other party to send a regiment of people to shout the name of Conglu.

The efficiency of the troops is fast, and it took only 3 minutes and 40 seconds from giving the order to hearing the voice from the road.

"I hear you."

After about 0.3 seconds, thousands of people came from the phone in unison, "From the road".

"It's faster than the signal!"

Immediately after that, Director Lin ordered them to shout a slogan casually, and then hung up the phone.

More than ten seconds later, I heard a sentence from the road, "Long live China, long live peace!" ”

As soon as Lu finished repeating it, Director Lin dialed the phone number again, and then asked, "What is the slogan you just shouted?"

A phrase came from the other end of the phone: "Long live China, long live peace!"

Director Lin was stunned when he heard the answer, but he didn't continue to be stunned, and instead asked Cong Ludao: "How many people are shouting slogans?"

Conglu calmly replied "1,437 people", and added by the way, "Among them, there are 1,412 men and 25 women." ”

Director Lin turned back to the phone and asked, "How many of you just shouted the slogan?"

The answer on the phone was exactly the same as what Cong Lu said, exactly 1437 people.

Although the answer was unbelievable, everyone present had to admit what Conglu had said before.

Dr. Chen was the first to come back to his senses and asked Director Lin, "Where is the phone number you just dialed?"

Director Lin, who has always been serious, shook his head and said two words, "Chengdu".

After hearing the answer, Conglu almost didn't fall off the chair, yes he couldn't believe this fact himself.

The three of them said in unison, "How is this possible!! ”
