CHAPTER XXII
I, who have had 'hysteria' visual and auditory hallucinations since I was a child, are so afraid.
I'm afraid of ghosts.
To be exact, it's Ling Youjiang, a wild ghost, who always gives me dreams.
I already know very well that he is the second of spades, and as for why he joined a perverted organization like Siai, it is estimated that there is no proof of death.
In the dream, we ate his stewed taro and roasted pork ribs, and talked about wine.
In fact, I was complaining, scolding him for being unreliable and unsophisticated, and throwing my daughter to me would be the shopkeeper.
"You think I'm easy!" He touched his head, "How can there be reliable people around me?" It's only you, after all, you are in the system and can protect her. ”
"! Look at me! I yelled, "The job is gone, it doesn't matter, now even my life is gone!" ”
With tears in his eyes, he pushed a plate of braised chicken paws in front of me, "Don't be angry, eat vegetables." ”
"Why do you have to make chickens in this craft?" The black plate, the obviously burnt dry chicken paws, pointed at me with a swarp point, and the taste became stronger and stronger.
I woke up from a dream, and the smell was ...... Gunpowder?
As soon as the sky was bright, rows of container trucks rumbled into the base.
On the side of the base, a warehouse as large as a small stadium had been built, and trucks drove in one after another, and then the warehouse door slowly closed again.
The smell in the air is not strong, but I am sensitive by profession, like a police dog, so I am cautious when I smell it.
There were also a few patrolling security guards at the door of the warehouse, all holding electric batons, and it seemed that Siai had supervised dangerous goods.
It's pretty reliable, huh.
I comforted myself that it should be okay and went back.
In the next few days, I couldn't hold back the heart of this good letter, so I sporadically inquired about the content of the experiment and got a general idea.
There are more than one such magnetic field disturbances in the world, Russia was the first to discover one, and then, in the United States, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, it appeared one after another, and it was uncontrollable, and a large number of scientists from the international organization conducted research, all of which were numb and inconclusive.
Until two months ago, the area where we were was was also found to be anomalous by sensors.
So far, there are seven in the world, and they call it: the Ghost Circle.
Because this unknown energy field appears in the form of a hollow circle, like a doughnut, and is surrounded by a huge circle of unknown particle energy, according to the research scholars, it is likely to be because of ghost particles, so it is named the ghost circle.
So far, this incident has been taken seriously by the United Nations, and the news has been completely blocked.
"Blockade? That's not realistic! No one is blind! "I pointed to the colorful clouds and the huge 'water curtain hole' outside, and asked Lu Xu, who was explaining to me.
"So what? Even if you see it, you will only think that it is just a base for secret international experiments. Lu Xu patiently explained.
"Base? Such a big energy field! Are you blind? After I said this, I suddenly understood a little......
"What about the energy field, the so-called energy magnetic field and various anomalies are difficult to directly observe with the naked eye, and need sophisticated instruments to monitor and draw, only knowledgeable research experts know the shock behind this surface!"
And so it was...... Wang Yiyi is right, this thing can only be seen by me and Wang Yiyi.
Can see things that ordinary people can't...... Could it be that all the things I've seen since I was a child are like this? Ghost Circle?
Listening to Lu Xu, our ghost circle is extremely large in diameter, dozens of kilometers in diameter.
No wonder it looks so terrifying from a distance...... And weirdly fascinating.
This charming big guy was the last to be discovered, but it was the same as the ones that had been discovered before, and there was nothing new about it.
The researchers put the detector with signal tracking in, and there was a signal at the initial distance, and suddenly at a point, the signal was cut off by the brush.
The images and videos transmitted back by the probe are basically very mushy, but it can also be roughly seen that the environment inside the ghost circle is completely different from the outside.
Inside, it's a tropical rainforest.
But outside, in this higher latitude area, there are only coniferous forests.
Therefore, many international scholars have speculated that this circle is likely to be caused by the distortion of time and space.
There are also other theories, such as the completely different climate in the energy field, the change of temperature and humidity, and so on.
As for what caused it, there is too little information at present, and further estimation and investigation are needed, so volunteers like us are needed to enter the internal sampling survey.
What else is said to be a dedication to science, it is really a dangerous moment, but it pushes people like us up.
Most of the volunteers who participated were for money, like the scar man and his group, who did not belong to any organization, were completely independent, and traveled in various war-torn areas, taking tasks, doing tasks, taking money and leaving; And then there are people like Lu Xu and Ning Ol, who really don't want to die for the sake of science.
I suspect that Lu Xu may not know what he thinks inside, otherwise how could his little cowardice who spares his life volunteer to go in with us?
"You weren't so bold before, how did you change so much, and you really intend to sacrifice your life for the truth?"
"It's that you don't understand! This is simply unheard of! The more you learn about this project, the more you will discover its charm! Lu Xu was excited, "Unknown energy suddenly appeared!" Mysterious magnetic field! I can't see it at all on the surface, but when I walk in, I find that it is another world...... Dayang! This is probably the legendary special wormhole! The opportunity for human scientific and technological breakthroughs has finally come! The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he slapped him on the face.
I saw him like this, and I was almost infected by him, but I also kind of understood what he meant.
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is indeed rare.
If it is really some kind of time and space travel technology, it is really unimaginable what the future world will develop.
Later, I retold the message of the ghost circle to Wang Yibian.
I thought he was just like me, and in order to find out why he was special, he had to team up with me and go in together.
But it suddenly occurred to me that he didn't seem to care. Maybe it's a delusion.
But there is one thing that I am unequivocal: the gunpowder is genuine.
After the rest of the team was in, finally, we were ready to go.
Booked a trip for about ten days, each of us brought half a month's worth of adequate rations.
In addition to food, there are also a large number of medical supplies, disinfectants, powerful anti-inflammatory drugs, antidote serums, medical kits, hemostatic powder, hormones and the like.
As I distributed these things, the sense of urgency gradually became heavier, and finally it was a little suppressed and it was a little hard to breathe.
Human beings' fear of the unknown is far greater than the fear itself.
But the team of the scar man didn't show any nervousness.
Since the dispute occurred in Lu Xu's office, even if we look at each other, we pretend not to see it, and generally avoid it from afar.
Right now, it's under one roof.
They didn't check their living equipment too much, but each person carried a large bag of weapons, and looked through them carefully.
Wang and I don't have this set of equipment.
"Is it necessary?" I asked Lu Xu.
Although I am not unfamiliar with firearms and weapons, but after graduating for many years and never dabbling in them again, it is inevitable that I am a little frightened, is it really dangerous? Isn't it just to go as far as possible and take samples back?
Lu Xu pouted and nodded, "According to the experience from the rest of the ghost circles, it's better to take it." According to the analysis, various beasts may be encountered inside. ”
"Beast ......" I looked at the frag grenade, the Remington M870, the AK rifle that Scar weighed in his hand......
"Give each of you one a set." Wang Yiyi also came over and interjected.
Lu Xu's eyes were full of incredible nights, and he asked me in turn, "Is it necessary?" ”
"Your life is really in their hands, are you sure you won't give me a set?" I asked rhetorically.
Lu Xu has been a primary school bully since he was a child, and he has been engaged in civilian work, and now he has entered the ghost circle, and the savage humanity is what he must face.
When I said this, Lu Xu seemed to have figured it out, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes...... I'll give you both a set, but unfortunately I won't use it......" Those outlaws are certainly not worthy of being trusted or trusted.
He muttered and went out, and in a short time, two large bags of weapons and equipment were placed in front of us.
Wang Yi checked them one by one, and saw that he was very skilled.
He's not a good guy either, as I already knew. Although I don't know him, I can almost barely know him, but I am always willing to trust him, and he will not hurt me.
With plenty of equipment, Ning Ol finally appeared.
I saw him again for the first time in more than half a month since I saw him in his room that day.
He seemed to be in better spirits than before, and he didn't seem to be a man over the age of six, but he was in good spirits.
And he was very excited and explained the project deployment to our team in detail.
Enter the Ghost Circle first, explore as much terrain as possible, gather information on any anomalies, and take regular samples to leave the Ghost Circle and return to the base before the supply is exhausted.
The participants in this project should indeed be research experts with some expertise, and we are just making up the numbers, and what we can do is almost a sightseeing tour.
But I always feel that this ghost circle has a lot to do with me, and it may not be so simple.
It's really possible that I can find the cause of the 'visual and auditory hallucinations' condition.
In short, the three of us are tasked with sightseeing and exploring the unknown. It's simple, too.
I didn't say anything all night, and I don't know how many people like me couldn't sleep.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, we met in the parking lot of the base.
Our inspection team has a total of 12 people, which is the largest of all the teams, and it is not a refined team at all.
The scar man's team is five people, me and Wang Yiyi, Ling Long, three people. Lu Xu said that he and Ning Alcohol were also going to go with us, and they also brought two of their colleagues, a man and a woman.
The man was a biologist who carried a metal box about the size of us, which he said contained scientific instruments.
The woman's name is Sister Ping, she is his wife, she is also engaged in biological science, has a deep medical background, and is considered a doctor with the team. Her case is larger.
I nodded silently, such a team is really thoughtful, no wonder Lu Xu and Ning Alcohol also dare to participate.
A total of three cars were arranged for us, and each car was arranged with at least one strong man from the scar man team as a bodyguard.
Scar drove the road in the lead car, and Ning Ol was also in the lead car. The couple and Lu Xu took the second car, and a big European brother escorted the car. I'm with Ling Long and Wang, at the end.
In the passenger seat sat the youngest Asian young man in Scar's team, holding a gun and closing his eyes.
Wang Yiyi drove, and I sat in the back seat, accompanying Ling Long.
With the roar of a giant German-made off-road road, we entered the ghost circle.
Watching the purple-gold water curtain hole getting closer and closer, and the hole in the sky getting bigger and bigger, my heart became more and more excited.
I don't know what greets us?
Ling Long grabbed my arm tightly, and I patted her and smiled.
"It's okay, I'm here."
