Chapter 308: Race against time
My judgment was not wrong, and after I asked "what to do", the voice did not push, but gave me a straightforward answer.
"That's exactly what I want you to help me! My companion had taken possession of my body, but its own body was still inextricably linked to it. I know you've been to its lair in the mountains, you know where its body is hiding, and if you destroy it, its abilities will be greatly diminished, and I can take back control of the craft and relieve the existential crisis of the Earth, and of myself. ”
That sounded easier said than done, and I was too apprehensive to nod my head in agreement.
Because I have already mistrusted the alien before, how can I be sure that every word that this alien says is not false?
Besides, although I have a rough memory of the location of the evil alien's lair, and I also remember that "I" once instructed the two strongest savages to hide the evil alien's body in a secret hole, but I didn't see with my own eyes where that secret hole was.
And that cave is so big that it seems to have hollowed out the whole mountain, how can I find the body of the evil alien?
I really hoped that my mother-in-law would show up and help me guide me, but knowing that it was unlikely, I could only put the question in my mind straight and let the voice give me the answer.
"I have no way of proving my kindness to you!" The voice replied, "But it is always true that tens of thousands of people have fallen into a deep sleep, and if you want to save them, it is better to do what I say than to do nothing." As for the fact that it is difficult for you to find the body of my companion, you can rest assured, because my parents' planet is far cooler than the temperature of the earth, so what we are most afraid of is high temperatures. Especially after the soul is separated from the body, our body can only be preserved in a cold and dark place. So if you find the coldest part of the cave, you'll be able to find its body. ”
It's very credible.
Because after several encounters with that white cave monster, I already knew that this monster has a very low body temperature, so it is afraid of sunlight and even more afraid of fire.
And the white monster, according to the voice in my head, is a synthetic alien and terrestrial species created by it and its companions.
In other words, that white synthetic species must be more adapted to the Earth's climate than two aliens. Its ability to withstand light and heat should also be much stronger than that of two aliens.
So I lowered my head and thought about it, and I felt that with my understanding of the alien who wanted to rule all mankind before, what this alien said now was at least eighty percent credible.
So I finally made up my mind and nodded.
"Okay, I'll believe you once, and I'll go into the mountains and destroy the body of your wicked companion. But after I succeed, I hope you'll be able to adjust the equipment and wake up all the thousands of people who are sleeping. ”
"Don't worry, I never wanted to be the enemy of humanity!" The voice said.
"That's good!" I nodded again, but couldn't resist asking it another question, "I have a ...... Good friend, her body is dead, but her soul, as you call the brainwaves, remains, I want to ask, is she also imprisoned now? ”
"I don't know which one you're talking about, but once you activate that device, all the brain waves that are wandering around here...... Even the ghosts you are talking about will be absorbed into the aircraft. But I can't get into the aircraft right now, so I can't help you get her out. ”
I was a bit in a daze.
Last time, because Meng Xiang fell into a deep sleep, I only cared about Meng Xiang and ignored Zhang Xiaoyun a lot.
But this time Meng Xiang was safe and sound, and naturally, I was worried about Zhang Xiaoyun.
Worry about whether she will endure hardship, worry about whether she will be afraid.
But it's useless to worry about it, I can only have a chance to rescue Zhang Xiaoyun by destroying that evil alien's body as soon as possible.
I asked if the alien could go to the mountains with me, because I thought that having it with me, just like when Zhang Xiaoyun was with me, would definitely play a big role.
It's a pity that the voice said with a wry smile: "I said that I can only stay near my body, and it took me a hundred years for that companion to develop the ability to free and free from my body, and I don't have this ability." Even though I'm being kicked out of my body now, I still can't get too far from my body. ”
It had indeed said this before, so I didn't ask any more, but turned my eyes and began to explain to Gao Lingkai, who had been watching me all the time.
Gao Lingkai was naturally shocked and smacked his tongue again and again, and said, "Are there really aliens in the world? I only thought it was some kind of ghost and demon haunting, but I didn't expect it to be an infighting between aliens! Then we have to hurry up, otherwise these sleeping people will all become surrender factions one by one, and the earth will be very dangerous! ”
His thoughts were the same as mine, so we immediately rushed back to the village chief's house and made a phone call to Director Lei at the village chief's house to make a report.
After listening to me, Director Lei was also so shocked that he inhaled again and again on the other end of the phone.
However, he did not dwell on the astronomical questions posed by the aliens themselves, such as which universe did these aliens fly from? Did their vehicles reach Earth through a "wormhole", or did they travel far faster than the speed of light?
And so on and so forth!
At a time when the planet is at stake, as the top leader of the police system in the Linnan region, he knows very well what is the most critical issue.
So he said to me in a heavy tone, "If what you say is true, then this problem is too serious!" It's a pity that the pilot who went to pick you up last time erased all the flight records without permission, and he couldn't remember what latitude and longitude it was at the time, otherwise I would have to report to the leader now, and simply blow up the mountain you said, not afraid that I won't be able to destroy the body of the evil alien. ”
As for the pilot erasing the flight record, I think it should be ordered by "me" - of course, that "me" is already the same me who has been occupied by that evil alien.
Although I can't remember such a small thing very clearly, I believe that the abnormal behavior of everyone I came into contact with at the time must have received "me" instructions.
And since there is no flight record, let alone the latitude and longitude of the mountain, it is impossible for the helicopter to send us into the mountain, and Gao Lingkai and I have to walk on foot and experience the treacherous jungle again.
"Without further ado, while it is still dark, Gao Lingkai and I immediately set off to Uncle Zhang's residence, and only by entering the mountain from there can I find the direction." I told Director Lei.
"That's good! I'll arrange for a few special police officers to set off now, meet you at Uncle Zhang's residence tonight, and protect you into the mountain early tomorrow morning. Director Lei made a quick decision.
The last time I received a call from Gao Lingkai, I rushed to Fangjiaao from Uncle Zhang's house, and the rope left in the first line of the ridge at that time was still hanging on the mountain rock.
It hasn't rained for the past few days, and the rope hasn't been corroded too much, and after Gao Lingkai and I found the rope, we tried it and it was still strong, so we climbed up in turn.
It was nearly dusk, and the two of us hurried on our way, but after more than an hour, we still had to turn on our flashlights and slow down to avoid forks in the road.
Fortunately, although the mountain road leading to Uncle Zhang's house was winding and narrow, there was no fork in the road, and at about eight o'clock in the evening, we finally arrived at Uncle Zhang's house safely.
The lights of Uncle Zhang's house have been turned on, and it seems that the SWAT team members arranged by Director Lei have arrived.
I saw a figure standing outside the fence, as if waiting for us to arrive.
Before I could see better, the figure ran towards us first.
"Colliers! Colliers! ”
I heard her coquettish voice calling, it was Meng Xiang.
"Why are you here too?" I hurriedly reached out and hugged her into my arms, asking her as I went.
"I'm going to go into the mountains with you!" She said.
"How can this work?" I frowned and pushed her out of my arms a little, "Do you know how dangerous it is?" ”
"It's because of the danger that I'm going with you!" Meng Xiang said, paused, and continued, "Last time, I fell into the hands of those tribesmen and failed to live and die with you, this time, I want to make up for it!" ”
Of course, I was moved by these words, but the meaning behind them made me afraid to speak.
Because the last time I "lived and died together" was Zhang Xiaoyun, it was Zhang Xiaoyun, and it was precisely because of this that I couldn't give up on Zhang Xiaoyun.
Meng Xiang deliberately mentioned these four words, and it was obvious that the knot caused by Uncle Zhang still remained in her heart.
"Advisor Gao, Director Lei let us obey your command!"
Several SWAT team members greeted us, and by the light from the room, we vaguely recognized that the leader was none other than the Huang SWAT officer who had crossed the mountain with us last time.
SWAT Huang brought four other SWAT team members that I had never met, while Uncle Zhang's house only had four rooms.
So Meng Xiang had to share a room with me that night. I held her in my arms and inevitably persuaded her to go back to Nanchuan early tomorrow morning and not to go into the mountains with us, but Meng Xiang resolutely refused.
"Don't be afraid of me dragging you back, I'm a woman, but I'm also the head of the criminal investigation section! I may not be as bold as you, but my marksmanship is definitely better than yours! She said so.
Her marksmanship is indeed much better than mine, and I am afraid that if I continue to say it, she will mention "living and dying together", so I can only close my mouth and sigh.
After a night of speech, we had a brief bite to eat the next morning, and then set off southwest, still finding the direction of the narrow cave first.
This is the third time I have walked this road, and the last time I have diverged twice, but this time it was smooth and I had reached the steep slope before noon.
The rope we left there last time is still there, but that was months ago, and it's rotten.
So we tied two more ropes, and eight of us went down to the hole below.
