Chapter 041: The Truth About the Death of a Comrade-in-Arms
I also solved the problem of eating a snake's belly raw, and this day's training was the most relaxing.
After the training, I went back to the dormitory and started to read those materials, and I couldn't pass the test without taking the time to understand several theoretical knowledge. That's when I realized that there was so much to learn, that three months wasn't enough.
On the seventh day, the only female instructor appeared, and she told me a foreign name, "Anna". I know these foreign names are their code names, but I don't know what she's going to train me today.
Anna took me to a small conference room and told me that her training course was called "Abnormal Logical Judgment Analysis".
I didn't understand what she meant by abnormal logical analysis, but the case she gave me turned out to be the mysterious mutant anthill in the black heart of Gaoligong Mountain, and the weird big tree, the Rhododendron King. All of a sudden, it brought back uncomfortable memories and my face changed color in an instant.
Anna's reaction was not surprising, she asked me to try to analyze what caused that place to be the way it was, and encouraged me to be bold in my analysis, even if the results I came up with were outrageous and unrealistic.
I endured the fluctuating mood and sorted out the clues I had received before to analyze the whole thing. But every time I think of a clue, I will invisibly think of Zhao Jinfu, because these clues are all obtained under the discussion and analysis of the two of us, and my heart is like a tear while recalling.
And Anna didn't speak, quietly waiting for my answer. Ten minutes later, instead of coming up with something, I felt the urge to flip the table and vent.
Seeing that my mood fluctuated dramatically, Anna spoke at this time, "Actually, you can't face up to the past, and part of the reason you chose to come here is to escape, right?" ”
I immediately raised my head to look at her when I heard her words, and Anna continued to ask: "Actually, you always have a knot in your heart, and you think that the reason why so many comrades died was entirely because of your fault, isn't that so?" ”
I looked at her with round eyes, and her words seemed to tear open the deepest wound in my heart. She's right, I've always had this idea, so I've always blamed myself, I feel guilty, I think I killed so many fighters, I killed my best brother.
Anna looked directly at me and didn't shy away from hers, but I avoided hers. The guilt made me feel like a cloud, and I was drenched in cold sweat, and I thought once again that it was my reckless shovel that caused the irreparable consequences now.
"Actually, even if you didn't have that impulse at the time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to escape that anthill!" Anna said to me suddenly.
Her tone was clearly not relieved, and I looked at her again and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Anna thought about it for a moment and said to me, "The Gaoligong Mountain incident is classified as highly classified, and I have limited knowledge, but from what I know, I am afraid that there is something else going on with what happened to you. ”
I didn't know what Anna was referring to, and I asked her anxiously what she knew.
Anna didn't answer, but asked me, "Don't you have any doubts about what happened to you?" ”
I stared at me and quickly recalled in my head, these things had been filtered in my mind for I don't know how many times, but I didn't find anything suspicious.
Seeing that I was at a loss, Anna had no choice but to ask me clearly: "According to your previous description, after you attacked the King of the Big Tree Cuckoo with a sapper shovel, there was a situation where an ant colony rioted and attacked you. But you reacted immediately, and you didn't encounter a mutant ant attack on the way out, right? ”
I nodded, and that was exactly what happened.
Anna said, "Then let me ask you, since you have evacuated the dangerous core as fast as you can, why are you surrounded by ant colonies at the last step?" ”
Anna's question stunned me for a moment, and I replied casually, "It's because when we got to the edge of the anthill, we were caught by the ant colony." ”
As soon as I said that, a flash of light flashed through my mind. Yes, we had escaped from the dangerous core, but why were we besieged by a giant ant colony at the edge of the pit? I seem to have thought of something, but my mind is a little chaotic, and I always miss the point in a mess.
At this time, Anna said: "Let's talk about the characteristics of ants, although they have been mutated and their body size has changed dramatically, but this will not affect their living habits. Do you agree that even if there is an impact, there will be no fundamental change? ”
I thought about it and nodded.
Anna continued: "We all know that ants use physical contact methods to communicate with their kind, just like we pass on a message, one by one, from the first, the second to the target's hand, to complete a complete message transmission. You were able to evacuate all the way to the edge of the colony without any attack after discovering that you had caused a riot, which means that the mutant ant colony is not as fast as you are evacuating. ”
I then understood that Anna was guiding my thinking, and that she didn't give the answer directly in the hope that I could figure out the key to it myself. She's already said that, and I'll be stupid if I don't think I'm going to think about it.
So I immediately said, "In other words, the large number of ant colonies that I encountered at the edge of the pit did not actually appear there because I attacked the Big Tree Cuckoo King!" ”
Seeing that I had finally thought of this, Anna was slightly satisfied. She made a few quick clicks on a laptop on the podium, then turned on the projector, and a picture was immediately displayed on the shadow cloth.
I looked up, the photo was a black round flat object, I thought it was a ** at a cold glance, but if I looked closely, it was not, it was much smaller than **, more like the discus thrown in the discus throw event at the sports meeting.
I looked at it for a while and said to Anna, "It seems like some kind of electronic device, like a series of signals." ”
Anna was pleased with my judgment, but she corrected me and said, "It's about the same, but it's not a signal jamming instrument, it's a signal emitting instrument." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to my senses: "Is this thing that led to the colony of ants that blocked our way?" ”
Anna didn't hide it anymore and said to me, "This thing was found in the soil layer under the King Rhododendron tree after the D.R.T. team entered the Black Heart. We've tested this thing, and it emits a miniature radio signal that covers an area up to five kilometers in diameter. And this signal has no effect on us humans, but it has a special stimulating effect on ants. To put it simply, it is to make the ants think that there is an enemy invading. ”
I followed Anna's words: "Naturally, it emits signals countless times faster than ants, covering the entire colony almost instantly, which is why we encounter a large number of ants when we reach the last edge." ”
Anna nodded, and said, "Inside this instrument, we found a timing device, the overall structure is very simple and advanced, but it is not our country's technology. The first thing I thought when I saw this thing was that it was completely designed for the mutated anthill in the black heart. Because I can't think of any other use for it! ”
This further confirms my previous suspicion, Zheng Xiaocheng, the mysterious guy's goal from the beginning is the core of the mysterious anthill, and he has also made a lot of preparations for this. There's even a mysterious organization behind him doing support work and designing special equipment for his operations. If I'm guessing correctly, the refinement of the South American fruit fly is probably also provided by the forces behind him.
It seems that Zheng Xiaocheng is not alone in spying on the secrets of the Black Heart, but a large organization with high-tech skills.
But when I asked more in-depth questions, Anna refused to say a word. I know that asking again is top secret, and I have no right to know. But Anna Ken made an exception to tell me this, and I'm very grateful.
What Anna told me was important to me and gave me a better understanding of what was going on in the anthill.
This Zheng Xiaocheng has designed thorough security precautions for himself from the beginning, even in the no-man's land of the black heart, he has also made defensive preparations in advance.
In our country, weapons control is extremely strict, and he can't get his hands on weapons, so he can only adapt them to local conditions. And this small instrument is not cumbersome to make, and it is not a contraband, it can be said that it is a portable router and carried around.
I guess Zheng Xiaocheng has already hidden this instrument in the dark after arriving at the Big Tree Cuckoo King, just in case. When he found out about us, he hid in the dark, and even Sun Ji, who was closest to him at the time, didn't know what he was doing.
He then threw eggs at us to attract ant colonies to attack us, but that was only to hide his true purpose, and his real intention in hiding in the dark was to turn on the device and time it out and bury it in the ground so that we wouldn't find out.
He must have predicted in advance that the people who could track him down were either military or police, well-armed, and he had no ability to fight. So he wanted to borrow the mutant ant colony against us, because he had the amulet of the South American fruit fly, so he was absolutely safe.
But he probably didn't expect me to find out the secret of restraining ant colonies, and I found all the South American fruit fly extracts on him. The plan was suddenly disrupted by me, so he adopted a strategy of temporary forbearance, and then waited for it later.
My shovel of the Big Tree Cuckoo King was also unexpected by him, because I attacked the mother ant colony and the ant colony went berserk, and at that time he was not sure if the South American fruit fly could still restrain the already irritable ant colony, so he had no choice but to evacuate the Big Tree Cuckoo King with us.
Later, as we evacuated out of the pit, the device was activated, waking up all the underground giant ants, and only then did the colony appear that was blocking us at the edge of the pit. If it weren't for this device, we would have been able to take advantage of the fact that the ant colony has not fully awakened to escape the danger.
If this is true, my reckless shovel, although it caused trouble, was not the key factor in killing my comrades, and the small instrument in the photo was the real culprit.
