It was already completely dark, and the rain that had been falling for half a month was finally stopping.

On the shores of Lake Bahrain, a small-tonnage crane is towing a portable galo counter onto the truck, and a cleaning crew in rubber raincoats is stepping on the muddy ground and pulling his throat to command. The counter, the size of an old-fashioned TV, was portable, but it was much smaller than the one at the Treehouse headquarters, but there weren't five or six people who couldn't lift it.

However, compared with the miniature counter with a detection radius of only 5 meters that Zhong Yi brought into the water, its detection radius can reach one kilometer. These days, the cleaning team drove a construction vehicle with three portable galo counters, using the principle of three-point positioning, to lock the location of the tomb in the center of Lake Bahrain.

In order not to affect the results of the Galo radiation detection, they also drove Shi Quan and Pete's firing squad to the town.

"Mr. Shi, should we go back to the camp first?" The driver of the Hummer asked.

"No, wait for Zhong Cheng and them." Shi Quan wiped the fog from the car window and looked at Lake Bahrain against the glass. At night, Lake Bahrain was as dark as a starless universe, and the lighted yacht in the center of the lake looked so small that it looked like a lone firefly that could be pinched to death if someone stretched out their hand.

"Lao Shi, didn't you open a tomb? What's going on now? Pete kicked Shi Quan's leather shoes.

The window soon fogged again, and Shi Quan turned around and scratched his head, which had little hair to rub his hair, looking a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it can't be said that I opened it, 30 years ago, I just joined the gang, I remember that at that time, the tree house was only on the market for a short time, and there were not many expatriate action teams, it was the chairman who led the team to find the tomb of the 'insight' knight, and opened it personally, and Huaiming and I were just acting as cheerleaders on the side."

When Pete heard Shi Quan's words, he shook his head and applauded: "Have you seen the chairman?" The CEO is still a cheerleader with you? Why don't you say that when an atomic bomb explodes in the head, you can resist a primary antibody? ”

Shi Quan and Fang Yeyou have about the same length of service, but when he is compared with the glittering Fang Yeyou, Pete always feels that Shi Quan is an old salted fish.

"The chairman may be able to resist," Shi Quan continued, "after finding that seed, the chairman rarely showed up, and then simply handed us the 'key', and for the past 30 years we have been all over the world looking for the remaining six seeds." ”

"So what now?" Pete asked.

"I can only contact the command center first and let the library study it, the knight's tomb is too unknown for us." Shi Quan said.

"Is it possible to ask the chairman to come and take a look?" Pete asked.

Shi Quan spread his hands and said, "We don't know where he is." ”

Pete's careful thinking was frustrated, he had always been curious about the chairman who only existed in legends, and he said hatefully: "If you can't do it, I'll just let the firing squad go into the water with emulsion explosives and blow up the door." ”

"Then you might really have to find an atomic bomb." Shi Quan said.

"The quality of the tomb gate is good." Pete said.

Shi Quan looked at Pete and added: "The 'door' of the tomb is not a door on the material level, it is a kind of 'closed' concept like other seals, if you blow up the lake bed, but the carrier of the engraved inscription is destroyed, the inscription on the tomb gate still exists, you just can't see it with the naked eye, and theoretically speaking, the radiation can still be measured with the galo counter, that is, the tomb will be contained in that inscription intact." ”

"'That'?" Pete's expression suddenly became serious, "You're talking about 'that' inscription. ”

"That's right, in the Yahi script, the higher characters are used to fold a single symbol of a certain concept, often the more concise the inscription, the more difficult it is to be understood, the researcher of the 'library' once tried to decipher the 'key' drawn by the chairman, and the runes that were disassembled and translated add up to more than 100,000 bytes, but in the end no progress was made······

Pete interrupted Shi Quan's popular science: "You said that the higher inscription is a single symbol, and I remember that Zhong Yi said 'find an inscription', it is 'a paragraph'. ”

"That's why there's a lot of unknown, we don't even know much about the knights' tombs, and we don't even know much about the Divine Tree Seed itself," Shi Quan said, "After all, we are only reasonably guessing that the knights of the previous generation have passed away." ”

"Don't talk to me about this, you tell me explicitly, 'insight' the knight's tomb gate, how many symbols are the inscriptions?" Pete asked.

"Single Symbol...... However, this is not a criterion for judgment, because it is the only tomb we have identified before this, and there is a lack of comparison samples. Shi Quan replied.

Their conversation was interrupted by a commotion outside the car, and Shi Quan thought that something had gone wrong with the Galo counter during the loading process. Damn it! That thing can't be bought with money in the market!

Shi Quan hurriedly pressed the window of the car and poked his head out, the rain hit his head, and he shouted to the cleaning team members gathered on the shore: "What's the noise! You can't be careful! ”

Pete patted Shi Quan's shoulder hard, "Boat!" Boat! The other pointed to Lake Bahrain.

Shi Quan turned his face to look in the direction of Pete's finger, and was horrified to find that the light in the center of the lake suddenly disappeared at some point.

"Call Zhong Cheng, please reply if you receive it."

"Call Zhong Cheng, please reply if you receive it."

"Zhong Cheng Zhong Cheng, what's going on."

Shi Quan called three times in a row, but never received a reply.

"Damn it!" Pete kicked the door open, causing the car to shake a few times, and he plunged headlong into the rain, shouting, "Firing squad!" ”

··· ···

Three speedboats sped across the lake, their bows cocked high, so fast that it felt like they were going to tip over in the lake at any moment. The beams of the searchlights on the speedboat swept through the rain with the undulation of the hull.

"No. 1 boarded from the left side, No. 2 blocked the right side, and No. 3 went around the bow!" Pete pressed the walkie-talkie with his right hand and grabbed the guardrail of the speedboat with his left hand so as not to be thrown off.

Is the person who is the brain of the world? No! They shouldn't have gotten the news so quickly! Pete doesn't have time to think about it, war is like a plague, you never know when and where it will break out!

The yacht in the center of the lake finally came into view, and the No. 3 speedboat accelerated away from the group, and after passing the yacht, it made a sharp turn, raised a two-meter-high splash, and turned the boat towards the yacht.

The No. 1 and No. 2 speedboats turned left and right at the same time, separated more than ten meters behind the yacht, and then reversed sharply, using drift to slow down, and the two speedboats attacked the yacht under the action of inertia.

Boom! Pete's boat No. 1 crashed into the left side of the yacht.

"Board the 1st!"

Pete pulled a Glock 17 from the holster on his thigh, rushed forward, and led three firing officers in black combat uniforms to the yacht.

The searchlight on the speedboat illuminates the entire yacht, making it look like an exhibit at an exhibition. However, the yacht with seven cleaning crew members was still lifeless, and the iron door of the cabin was closed.

Pete stood in front of the hatch with his gun in both hands. The other three firing team members scattered left and right, leaning their backs against the hatch and opening the safety of the M16 automatic rifle in their hands.

Pete raised his left hand, held up three fingers, and began to count down.

Three.

Two.

One.

Pete squatted slightly, raised his right leg with all his might, and kicked the iron door of the cabin.

Crash~

The hatch suddenly pulled open from within, and Pete kicked it empty, stumbling down on the deck in a standard line-up.

Zhong Yi held the hatch with his hand, one high and one low with Pete, looking at each other.

"Captain Hunter, what are you doing here?" Zhong Yi asked.

"I ......"

··· ···

Camp, 5 marching tents were set up in the jungle. The rain had stopped, and the cleaning team that remained on the shore had built a bonfire with petrol in the middle of the camp.

The tent in the middle was the headquarters, and a few people sat around a long folding table, cups steaming hot.

"Zhong Cheng, what happened just now?" Quan asked.

Zhong Cheng's eyes were glazed, and he sat side by side with his son Zhong Yi, and they were wrapped in thick towels. Pete, who was sitting on his left-hand side, elbowed the bell with his elbow, and he realized that the power was calling him.

“······ Rain. Zhong Cheng's voice trembled, it seemed that he was not lightly frozen, and he was shivering all the time.

"Rain?" Empowerment is incomprehensible.

Zhong Cheng's breathing became disordered, and he couldn't speak for a while. Pete noticed that Zhong Cheng's right index finger trembled and tapped lightly on the tabletop a few times.

"All of a sudden, our communications equipment broke down." Zhou Daiwen spoke, and he and Zhong Yi looked normal.

"How so? Then why did the yacht also lose power? Shi Quan asked.

"The reason can only be found on the mound." Zhong Yi said.

"Electromagnetic pulse?" Quan asked.

"Quite possibly." Zhong Yi replied.

Shi Quan turned his face to Pete and said, "I say, it's full of unknowns. ”

Pete pondered something, but didn't respond to the exercise.

At this time, a team member sent a few sets of clothes. Because a meeting was held in a hurry as soon as they rushed back to the camp, except for a few crew members who had already been sent back to the tent, Zhong Cheng and their wet clothes didn't have time to change.

"You go back and change your clothes first, give me the 'key', the operation is temporarily suspended, and I will make a decision after contacting the command center." Shi Quan said that he didn't expect Zhong Cheng's physical fitness to become so poor, Zhong Cheng was able to spend the winter in Heilongjiang when he was young. It's just a rain today, and Shi Quan thinks that he can only blame his age.

"Okay, let's go back first." Zhong Yi handed the package around his waist to Shi Quan.

Zhong Cheng was still sitting on the chair trembling, with no intention of leaving.

"Gone fisherman." Zhong Yi went over to pull him, who knew that Zhong Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked at his son, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were so terrifying that he looked like he was looking at an enemy.

"Don't be reckless when you're old." Shi Quan had just locked the "key" into the safe on the side.

"Okay, you change your clothes first, I'll do the ideological work for your father, how about not being able to have a temper when you're old," Petra opened Zhong Yi, "Come in and two people to help them!" ”

Zhong Yi and Zhou Daiwen are still wearing diving suits, although this diving suit has excellent performance, it is really troublesome to wear. The cleaning team members who came in helped them untie the wet equipment one by one and put it on the table.

"Team Zhong, let's not worry about young people······"

Pete squatted down beside Zhong Cheng, and while talking with a hippie smile, he secretly pinched Zhong Cheng's thigh. But Zhong Cheng didn't react, his eyes were still staring at Zhong Yi.

"What the hell are you trying to tell me......"

Pete muttered in a low voice, one hand groped for the leg of the chair, and suddenly pulled Zhong Cheng's chair away, Zhong Cheng didn't even have the instinctive reaction to reach out to grab something, and fell directly to the ground, everyone was startled.

"Hey! What are you doing! Zhong Yi rushed up and pushed Pete away, pulled his father up and hugged him, and yelled at Pete, "Captain Hunter! Please be respectful! ”

Pete was pushed and stumbled, almost not standing still, but still gave him power.

"I'm sorry, I just ······" Pete was about to explain, but when he saw Zhong Yi with his upper body bare, he was surprised and choked back his words.

"Okay, okay, take your father back to change clothes first, everyone will inevitably be nervous during this time." Exercise of power in a round field.

Zhong Yi glared at Pete fiercely, because of Pete's rank, he didn't entangle, and dragged Zhong Cheng away with Zhou Daiwen.

Pete's eyes always followed Zhong Yi, and after they left the headquarters, Pete sat down in his chair in a trance.

"Why are you all so angry today?" Shi Quan checked Zhou Daiwen and Zhong Yi's underwater cameras in his hand, and found that they were squeezed and deformed, and even the memory cards were cracked.

Pete took out the walkie-talkie from his waist: "Firing squad, immediately bring weapons, monitor the people who come back from the yacht, don't be detected by them, if they have abnormal behavior, give priority to rubber bullets!" In addition, the cleaning crew who did not get on the boat will be transferred to your tent first. ”

"Roger!" replied on the intercom.

"What are you doing here?" Shi Quan was startled by Pete's sudden command.

"It's not because of the electromagnetic pulse at all." Pete said.

"What does this have to do with you spying on them?" Confusing power.

"If it was the electromagnetic pulse that destroyed the ship's electronics, how did they get towed?" Pete said.

"Or maybe it was after the towing came up that the tomb erupted with an electromagnetic pulse?" Shi Quan felt that the focus of their conversation was not in one place at all.

"No, if you go and inspect the yacht now, I'm guessing you'll find that its electronics are in good condition," said Pete, "and did you notice the Morse code that Zhong Cheng typed out on the table with his finger at the beginning?" ”

"What?"

"Three short, three long, three short." Pete said.

“SOS！” Shi Quan gasped, admitting that he had indeed missed this detail.

"My guess is that they must have been attacked, and they couldn't call for help with the intercom for a while, so they had to tell us by the lantern, but they couldn't make the full lantern," Pete continued, "and the fisherman just said not 'rain', but 'fish.'" ”

"Dinner?" Shi Quan remembered that he had heard Zhong Yi and Zhou Daiwen tease in the communication channel before, saying that there was a big fish under the water, which might be Australian freshwater cod perch, and maybe he could add a meal at night.

(Protecting wildlife is everyone's responsibility.) ）
