The meeting has lasted for one or two hours, and Director Jin, Professor Zhang, and several experts from the army are still discussing nervously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zi Yang slowly wandered away, and he had not rested since the morning, he sat a little bored at the large table covered with satellite maps, listening to their discussion in his ears, holding his chin in one hand and tapping gently and rhythmically on the table with the other.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light in my mind, and I involuntarily said, "Huh? Strange ......" The group of people who were discussing stopped and looked at him in amazement.

Professor Zhang kindly asked, "What did you find?" ”

The white light in Ziyang's mind flashed, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed: "That...... With so many people in the village, will there be witnesses, or...... Victims, have you confirmed them all? ”

Director Jin said, "We have checked them one by one according to the household registration manual, except for the village chief who went out to do errands a few days ago, everyone else is there. ”

Ziyang said "Ao" and stopped talking.

The scene suddenly cooled down, Professor Zhang stared at the photo and fell into deep thought, the general didn't know how many cigarettes he smoked. Coach Jin was pacing back and forth with his hands on his chest. Azusa pretends to study satellite maps. The little black eyes were rolling around.

Lao Wang looked down at his watch and shouted, "Damn, it's half past eight in the evening, it's time to eat!" ”

In the end, there are still people who understand, and a sentence reminded the general, in fact, Ziyang and the others were already hungry, but everyone was embarrassed to say that only this nerd had no taboos.

"Look at me, look at me, patronize things, forget about this stubble. Xiao Jin, teach them to travel for a day, you arrange for them to eat and rest, anyway, the next batch of data will come out later -- don't just give them military rations, get something decent. ”

Professor Zhang said politely to the general: "There is no need for special treatment, we are just like soldiers." ”

Director Jin took them to several military tents and arranged for them to stay first. Zi Yang, Lao Wang, and Xiao Hei were together, the professor was with glasses, and the female student was with other female military doctors.

The tent is not big, there are four marching beds, Ziyang and others left their luggage on one bed, each lay down and closed their eyes to take a nap, they have not rested from 5 o'clock in the morning until now, they are indeed a little tired.

After a while, a soldier brought food over with a dinner plate, and Director Jin followed behind and bent in and said, "At present, isolation control is still being implemented, so the conditions are relatively difficult, so you will just take a look." ”

Zi Yang said: "I'm sorry for the trouble, the conditions are already very favorable, I see that there are soldiers outside who are still camping - you have been busy for so long, you shouldn't have eaten, right?" ”

Director Jin looked at Ziyang, thinking that this young man still knew a little bit of etiquette. Nodding, he ordered the soldiers to put down their meals and went out.

Zi Yang got up and watched Director Jin leave, and turned around to find that Lao Wang and Xiao Hei were already sitting there and munching.

There was a lot of food, and it seemed that it was nothing more than military canned food and rations fried and fried, but there were indeed two fried vegetables, and a lot of meat pieces were added to them.

Lao Wang stuffed a mouthful of meat, and his mouth could still speak: "Rub, don't say it, this military canned food tastes really good." “

"Tsk, the meat is very tender, come, try this green vegetable!"

The plate of stir-fried pork with green vegetables was instantly dried up by Lao Wang and Xiao Hei, and Lao Wang probably felt embarrassed, so he took a green vegetable from the residual soup and handed it to Ziyang.

Zi Yang bent down and looked at Lao Wang with a smile: "How does the meat taste?" ”

Lao Wang sighed and said, "Yes, it's very tender." ”

Ziyang: "Think about it, Director Jin said that this place is still under quarantine and control, so where does this fresh meat come from?" ”

Lao Wang immediately remembered the pile of dead cows and dead sheep on the slope today, stretched his neck and retched, looked up at Ziyang with tears in his eyes: "I spit on your shit!" ”

After all, it was something to eat, and Lao Wang was reluctant to spit it out. The three of them swept away the remaining canned food and rations, and when they looked at their watches, it was almost 10 o'clock. Zi Yang and the others were about to lie down and sleep for a while, when the curtain of the tent door was lifted, and Professor Zhang walked in.

Seeing the licked clean dinner plate, the professor was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "I don't have a good appetite, there is still a lot of food left in the tent, do you want to ......?"

Lao Wang's ass owed, "yes-" Thinking that the rest of the meal might be something like "fresh meat", he slowly sat down again, "Don't, forget it......"

Professor Zhang sat down on the marching bed opposite Ziyang and looked at Ziyang kindly.

Zi Yang was a little uncomfortable stared at by him.

"When you were at the headquarters today, you studied the satellite map for a long time, did you find anything?" Professor Zhang always speaks slowly and unhurriedly, which makes people feel like he is doing something at home.

Zi Yang scratched the back of his head: "This, so many experts and authorities are there, what do I know...... I'm afraid to make jokes when I say it......"

"It's okay, say it boldly. There is a saying that learning is endless, even experts have their own shortcomings, even students may have places beyond the reach of others, we are the most taboo in academics, we must brainstorm and learn from others......"

The professor is the professor, and this earnest teaching made Lao Wang very useful: "I'll just say, so many experts can't say a word when things come to this point, you might as well listen to my personal opinion, I think ah, this is an alien incident......"

The professor ignored him, still looking at Ziyang encouragingly: "You, do you think there is something wrong with the topography of this village?" ”

Zi Yang was still hesitating, but when he heard the professor say this, the doubts in his heart immediately became clear, "You also found out?" The whole of this valley is a huge Tai Chi layout! ”

Seeing the professor's affirmative gaze, Zi Yang also became excited, and took out a pen and paper from the table and chair next to him to draw, "You see, from this satellite map, we can see that this mountain village is located in a huge basin surrounded by mountains. The pass we came in was on the sunny side of the basin, and all the farmers were scattered on the sunny side, while the shady side of the basin was separated by the river that ran through the valley, and the two sides were distinct. ”

"Well, that's right, with the river as the boundary, all the strange events happen on the yin side, and the yang side is not affected at all, and the most abnormal place is that although there is only one river boundary, there is not a single farmer on the yin side." The professor is also making additions to Ziyang.

Zi Yang nodded, and drew an arc in the circle on the paper, "If you look closely, there is nothing unusual about this river, but referring to the satellite map, you can find that the trend of this river is meandering down from the mountains on both sides, and the basin merges into a waterhole in the middle. ”

Seeing the professor's appreciative eyes, Ziyang continued: "According to my observations when I passed by the village during the day, in addition to the fact that the farmers are concentrated on the sunny side, there is also a slight difference in the vegetation conditions on the yin and yang sides, and all the biological deaths are on the yin side - this is difficult to explain by chance. ”

The professor threw out an inducing question, "You mean there is a problem with the river?" ”

"We've tested the river water, and it's normal." At this time, a voice sounded outside the tent, and Director Jin appeared at the door of the tent with a black face.

"Come in, come in, we're discussing this, Xiao Li has a major discovery here." Professor Zhang warmly invited Mr. Jin to come in.

Director Jin bent over and came in, Zi Yang's face was a little embarrassed, and he touched the back of his head and asked, "How much did you hear what we just said?" ”

"No more, no less, just right—since there was such a major discovery, I didn't know what I said about it at the meeting just now?" Different from the cold and solemn during the day, although Director Jin's face was still dark, his tone had been greatly relaxed.

Zi Yang said embarrassedly, "This thing is too mysterious, I'm afraid of saying it rashly to disturb your train of thought." ”

Professor Zhang laughed beside him, "Hey, this is out of sight, our thinking is already very chaotic, but your discovery has made us shine in another village!" ”

Lao Wang was stunned for a moment when he heard what everyone said next to him, and he was unwilling to interject lonely: "What yin, yang, Taiji, yang, and spring?" What are you guys up to? Can you speak human language? ”

Ziyang patiently explained to Lao Wang: "We are in the northern hemisphere, and the sunlight shines from south to north, so is the south side of the mountain a place where the sunlight can shine directly?" This is called the positive side. “

Zi Yang wrote and painted and gestured, and seeing that Lao Wang nodded and understood, he continued: "If the mountain is high and steep enough, like the position we are in today, then the sunlight will be blocked, and the north side of the mountain will not shine, and it will become a shade. ”

"Oh, I understand, the geography teacher said that the photosynthesis of plants will also be affected by the different exposure of sunlight, so the growth of flowers and trees will also be different, right?" If Lao Wang's biology teacher heard his words, he would probably be angry.

"Theoretically, it's pretty much the same, but only a unique geography like this mountain village has a noticeable impact - but when I look at the vegetation and vegetation on this side of the river, it's not just because of the sunlight, I find that some of the vegetation has turned yellow and seems to be dying." ”

Everyone couldn't help but deepen their worries when they remembered the "biological extinction" mentioned by Director Jin during the day, and now it seems that the situation is indeed very serious.

Professor Zhang asked Director Jin, who was frowning, "How much do you know about the situation of the river?" ”

As if awakened from deep thought, Director Jin replied, "This river is gathered from the mountains on both sides, the volume of water is not big or small, the narrow place is about 2 meters, and the wide place is only 4 or 5 meters, and the water flows to the waterhole in the center of the valley, and there is no other outlet. ”

Professor Zhang said, "At the bottom of the pool, there should be an underground river or something. ”

Director Jin nodded, "The pool water is relatively deep, and our current equipment cannot support deep-water exploration. ”

Ziyang asked, "How's the investigation on the villagers' side?" Did they mention the waterhole? ”

Director Jin said, "I came here to talk to you about this, the old village chief who went out before came back, and we can barely understand his Mandarin, and he also reported an unexpected situation to us, four people in the village are missing!" ”

Lao Wang got up from the marching bed with a grunt, "Damn, I came in for a long time before I said, what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and lead the way! "This Lao Wang really thinks of himself as a character, and Director Jin is actually here to find Professor Zhang.

On the way to the command post, Director Jin gave a general introduction to the situation. The investigation with the villagers was very difficult, the dialect of the place did not belong to any contemporary language, it seemed to be an ancient language, and the language experts of the army had a great difficulty translating - in addition to the language barrier, it seemed that they were very resistant to communication with outsiders.

When Ziyang and the others were eating, the guards at the entrance of the village brought back a person who claimed to be the village chief, who had a lot of communication with the outside world, and his Mandarin was stumbling to deal with it. After some communication, they discovered a huge loophole, and when counting the number of people, they missed four people.

According to the old village chief, these four people are not on the village's household register. It is two college students who are going to school, they have moved to the school with their household registration, they are playing at home during the summer vacation, they told the villagers two days ago that they went out camping, and they have not come back - they each have a girlfriend with them.

When I walked to the command post, I saw an elderly thin old man communicating with the staff, and when I saw a group of people coming in, he was anxiously shouting and gesturing. Ziyang tried to distinguish between them and realized that he was talking about "four children, four children!" ”

At this time, the general also rushed over with his clothes on, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't seem to be resting well.

The staff calmed the old man's emotions, and Director Jin told him that additional people had been sent to expand the search area to search and rescue. You can rest assured, as long as there is news, we will definitely notify you as soon as possible, and we are all about human life.

"Now, there are a couple of questions for you." Director Jin looked at Professor Zhang.

Professor Zhang understood, stepped forward to hold his hand and said kindly: "Brother, let me ask you something, how many years has this village been?" ”
