Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Beginning of the Investigators
After coming down again and again, those who should have been disappointed have already been disappointed, and slowly they have also summed up a pattern.
That is, some places or legends that can be spread and even become world-famous, are often false propaganda, and no matter how they turn them upside down, there will be no results in digging three feet into the ground.
Because strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is like a person trying to find something in a room, and the problem is that it doesn't exist in that room at all.
The effort was in the wrong direction, so no matter how hard that person tried, it was impossible to find something from that room that didn't exist in the first place.
Over time, they got used to it, and places like Manchak Marsh, which are already relatively well-known in the world, have made all kinds of haunting rumors a long time ago, and they have basically been sentenced to death at the beginning.
It's said to be "mysterious...... It's not mysterious at all, that's the deadliest point.
Everyone knows that it is a ghost swamp that everyone knows, how can there be any real material? It's like the Bloody Mary legend that all Americans know, haven't they experimented with it as well?
Let the prisoners who are not afraid of death and want to gamble be summoned, and outside the experimental site, American GIs with loaded guns, as well as snipers, bazookas and even tanks are on standby, waiting for something to really appear in the mirror.
It turned out to be meaningless, nothing happened.
This time is no exception, and the reason why you are prepared is just to be prepared and foolproof. lest you always think that there will be no problem, but when you don't do any preparations, you just happen to run into that "what if" when you treat it perfunctorily.
At that time, the guilt will be great, and no one can bear that responsibility, so although I don't think so, I have made all the preparations that should be made.
"Did the satellite imagery come in? Can you transfer the signal to me? ”
"The reconnaissance drone is already on its way, but it's far away, and we may have to rely on our own ......"
"Let's send someone to contact the police, they fought off a few mysterious flying creatures, and it is said that some blood samples were collected......"
"The location of the captured police officer has been determined, and he is moving rapidly, if he is not caught flying in the sky, it is probably the positioning chip that has gone into the stomach of the thing...... Wait, it's slowing down! It stopped! ”
Someone had been closely tracking the GPS location of the unlucky police officer, and at this time, as if he had discovered some big news, he suddenly got up from his seat and shouted loudly.
Crash! The people around him surrounded him almost immediately, staring at the person's screen, and after confirming the news, his eyes suddenly burst into a strong light.
There was an extremely enthusiastic discussion taking place in the war room, and everyone was arguing and expressing their opinions.
Some people think that they should first stand still and observe the situation clearly, and then let those local police officers in New Orleans go to the mines if there is any danger, just give the latter the relevant coordinates and let them change directions...... lest it affect their entire organization.
And he eloquently explained that he was definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death, but worried about causing senseless losses.
After all, if you see a dangerous pit, if you see the person in front of you fall and fall to your death, you can already be sure, and you don't necessarily have to jump in and fall to your death.
But there are also those who believe that this opportunity should be seized, since those police officers were attacked in a hurry, and there were no too heavy casualties, but one person was captured, and several others were scratched on the arm or something.
However, the caliber of the police pistol was able to knock those things away, and managed to make them drop blood all over the ground......
This dare is good! This is definitely the second one they can bully!
Ever since the humanoids called the "Oni Clan" found on the island of the ancient ruins of Yamatai have been thoroughly studied, everyone has never been able to encounter such a wonderful research object again.
Moreover, the research on the so-called "ghost race" is not completely fruitless, although there is no way to transform people into that kind of thing, and it can be perfectly controlled, but those mad scientists still tossed some methods.
Countries that have shared relevant resources and information have actually started a secret "Super Soldier Project", but the results are not obvious, and it seems that it is difficult to ensure the success rate.
And the best result is just to double or several times the physical ability of some fighters with excellent quality.
This is already a very remarkable thing, the human body is flesh and blood, and the peak of physical fitness has long been nailed to death.
It's like the world record in the 100-meter dash, from the 11-second era to the 10-second era to the 9-second era...... Every second of progress is an era, and after that, it's hard to break 0.1 seconds.
Because it is impossible for human physical fitness to improve indefinitely.
Top athletes basically represent the pinnacle of the body's physical fitness, and the same is true for the best and strongest soldiers, and it is quite a terrible thing that such a physical fitness can be improved by several times again.
This is also the reason why countries feel that mystical skills are not completely insulated from science, they just lack the object of research, and if there is a supply of relevant resources, they can also study things!
And now, there is finally a specific species that is obviously unknowledgeable and anti-scientific, and it seems that it is still the type they have bullied, and I don't know how many people dare to boil their blood.
In the end, they reached a consensus and decided to be more safe-
Let the helicopter gunship formation that has already taken off be divided into two parts, one part will meet the police officers first, and cooperate with the latter.
The other part is going straight in the direction of the unlucky GPS positioning that was captured, not to save people, or not mainly to save people, after all, no one cares about the life of the police officer.
Their real thoughts were that no matter where the officer had been caught, or if something had gotten into the stomach, at least it had stopped by now.
There's a good chance it's a nest of those things.
It's not wrong to go straight to Huanglong!
……
……
"Keeper of Secrets...... Keeper of secrets? Oh, shit! Don't eat your sour radish! ”
Cursing a few words angrily, the white young man with a tattoo on his face grabbed the special mobile phone in annoyance and wanted to fall to the ground, but the raised hand froze in the air for a long time, and still did not fall.
He raised his head and glanced hatefully at the three companions around him, why didn't these three guys know to stop him so that he could have a staircase down?
What a stupid death! I don't have any eyes at all, no wonder I can't get along outside, and I want to apply for a job in this kind of garbage company!
He thinks that he needs to think about it seriously, and it is really a shame for such an eyeless fool to accept him as a little brother...... It's better not to take them with you, it's better to part ways after this time.
Putting away the special mobile phone a little stupidly, the tattooed young man said angrily:
"I don't know why, but the signal seems to have gone all of a sudden...... I don't know if it's because of the actions of the police tonight that the radio waves in this area are blocked, or if there is no signal here in the first place......"
"But as the Keeper said before, he told us to follow the route of Target 1 and Target 2 and investigate what was happening in the Manchuk Swamp...... It's best to gather as much information as possible, and the organization will give more prizes in addition to the $100,000 promised tonight. ”
Saying this, he couldn't help but look at the dark and twisted strange forest around him, and only felt that it was mysterious, weird, and terrifying.
Why can't you stay in a safe and comfortable place and listen to your target's words and actions? Why make such a desperate journey through the swampy jungle and into the treacherous dark waters in the dead of night?
Listening to those people's discussions, and then handing in the results of the eavesdropping, can you also be considered to have completed the task yourself, right? Wouldn't it be nice for the organization to give money directly?
As I am now, shuffling along the black mud swamp, my feet may step into the muddy rot or puddles of water at any time, and there is a faint fishy smell of rotting trees, grass roots or unknown animals everywhere.
This tattooed young man with a slight habit of cleanliness felt that he could no longer stand it and was even going crazy.
“……”
“……”
The other three didn't speak, just looked at each other.
They also didn't like the current environment, but it was natural to take the money to do things, after all, the secret keeper's offer was something they couldn't refuse. And the organization is not stupid, and the relevant regulations make it impossible for them to fish in troubled waters.
For example, if no one notices and the keeper can't see it, then he doesn't have to enter this ghost place at all.
As long as he waits until tomorrow morning, he directly reports that he and the others have gone into the swamp, but they haven't found anything valuable, and then take the guaranteed $100,000...... The idea is good, but it's simply not possible.
Because there is also a reporting system, no one wants to bet on whether their peers can really be trusted...... The tattooed young man's performance just now was actually a temptation, and if all three of them showed some kind of will, then he would definitely not mind uniting the three of them to confess.
These idiots! I really can't bring it!
The tattooed young man only felt an incomparably angry in his heart, but he could only endure it and continue to speak:
"It looks like we're all moving on, all the things I asked you to prepare, right?"
The three of them glanced at each other, and then from the long backpacks behind their backs, they all took out a pair of guns that were hideous and black with a cold metal beauty.
"Of course you're ready, I don't believe the stupidity of the Keeper of the Secrets, if this amulet is more effective than a gun, I'll eat this gun......"
The young black man laughed with a hippie smile.
He touched the amulet called the old seal on his neck, and then his face was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously looked around.
"What's wrong? The old seal is missing? ”
"You didn't just throw it away, did you?"
Others have also identified the problem.
"That's not, I don't think it's useless doesn't mean I'll throw it away, and how much trouble will it have to make up for it later?" The black young man hurriedly explained, "But I don't know when I lost it, maybe I accidentally ...... it when I came over just now."
But it wasn't a big deal, and compared to the old seal that had no beauty at all, it was the firearm in their hands that made them feel more at ease.
Following the direction of the target displayed by the tracking device, they nervously went deeper and deeper into the depths of this forest full of horrors and legends, and slowly did not know if it was an illusion, they always felt that there was some movement from some distant and dark place.
The four of them didn't pause in fear, and the idea of a hundred thousand dollars was a good incentive for them.
They even quickened their pace with some excitement and excitement, because $100,000 was only a guaranteed bonus, and if they could really find any valuable information, the reward would be raised to a higher level.
Slowly, red firelight and the faint sound of tambourine shone through the cracks in the forest ahead.
There was a human voice, as if some evil wizard were singing, a chilling phrase or ritual mixed with the faint flapping sound of giant wings.
At this time, the four of them finally held their breath, and crept slowly to the edge of a relatively sparsely planted place, hiding in the shadows and looking into the center.
The next moment, that terrifying scene appeared in front of them
The four of them were stunned for a moment, almost hypnotized by terror. Two people shook in a daze, and two others let out a terrible howl in horror.
"Ahhhh——!!h
For a moment, the scene suddenly fell silent.
In the glade between the trees, ten scaffolds were erected, centered on a monolith surrounded by flames, evenly distributed in a large circle, and a large group of madmen were sickly surrounding it, jumping and twisting their bodies wildly.
They all stopped all their movements and screams, and at the same time turned their heads to look in this direction!
