Before writing this book, I locked myself in my room and thought about it for a long time before I decided to continue the story. What is everyone's definition of a dragon? The mythical Rui beast or the spiritual symbol of the Chinese? Or both.

The legend of the dragon has always been very controversial, and in the minds of some people, it belongs to the existence of zài and is not reasonable. The ancients believed that dragons can be big and small, hidden and visible, can call for wind and rain, and can also make waves! Perhaps it was the imagination of man and the attachment of imperial power that made the dragon ascend to the altar and its status unshakable, and then this legendary creature has been classified as feudal superstition.

In foreign countries, I have seen many experts and professors conduct a lot of scientific analysis and discussion on the legendary creatures of Europe, and have verified the possibility of the existence of this creature.

I'm not a scholar or a staff member of the National Mystic Agency, and I don't even know if this kind of organization really exists, and I don't know if they have real proof of the existence of dragons, maybe they have the remains of dragons in their institutions.

Often, such information files are classified as uninterpretable and confidential. There are many mysterious events and mysterious creatures in the world that are difficult to explain, and there are also many mysterious events in China that cannot be disclosed to the public, and the riots caused by people's panic are sometimes more terrible than the mysterious events and mysterious creatures themselves. Let me give you an example here: in 197X, there was a wild man incident in a northern province and in 1995, a zombie incident in a southwest province caused many adults and children to be in danger, and the economic losses indirectly caused by it were as high as hundreds of millions of yuan in just half a month.

There are some things that are not necessarily a bad thing to be kept from the public, and the mythical creature of dragons, which has had a profound influence on Asians, will never be told to people, even if they do exist.

I have only experienced the latter of the two mysterious incidents of appeal, I joined the army in 1990 and was assigned to a construction corps in Qinghai, where I met the legendary Longquan Township. In '95, I was transferred back to Sichuan and witnessed the boiling zombie incident. However, the catastrophic flood in '98 was the beginning of my journey full of horror and bizarre Jiaolong.

The journey still haunts me to this day, and the journey covers almost all of Asia, and the companions along the way have disappeared or died in horrific and bizarre tombs, ruins, deep mountains, and river bottoms, and their parting cries and despair still linger in my mind, haunting me day and night.

Today, perhaps they want to tell everyone in a written way about this mysterious past about the dragon: the dragon is just a creature! A majestic and terrifying carnivorous creature!

It's likely that I've been carrying this secret for too long over the years, and I just want to tell you what I want to tell you about it as it is, so don't ask if it's true or not, just take it as a story.

After experiencing the mysterious Longquan Township incident, Tong Guò's family connections were transferred back to his hometown in Sichuan to serve as a civilian officer in the military region, and in addition to the daily administrative work in the army, he also had to give national defense education classes to college students.

If that hadn't happened, maybe I would have been working day in and day out, unlike normal people. (I solemnly tell you again, I am writing a story, whether it is true or not, please don't go to the danger yourself, this is just a story, I write it for you to see.) ）

One afternoon at the end of April 1995, after finishing a day's work, I packed up my desk as usual and prepared to return to the single dormitory, when the alarm bell rang outside, and the crowd of people in the family compound, the office building, and the training ground ran out to gather in front of the national flag stand in the office building. Fifteen hundred people held their breath and listened to the commander's lecture, and at first they thought that this was a surprise attack, but a group of people in black suits came and read the list to separate the people.

"Natsutake."

When my name was pronounced, I was surprised, because very few civilian workers participated in formal training, and shooting targets was even rarer, unless there was a big drill? With a confused head, he followed several men in black uniforms into a multimedia studio in the office building along with other humanities staff.

Sitting in the seat below, he carefully looked at the men in black and thought about their origins: Teaching the brigade? Picket troops? Or the gendarmerie?

One of them, a square-faced man in black, placed a few pages of information on my desk, staring into my eyes with thick eyebrows and admonishing me in Mandarin with a thick northeastern accent.

"I know what you're thinking, better not guess! Complete the tasks assigned above. His voice was so cold that it made me feel uncomfortable, like falling into an ice hole on a hot summer day.

When he walked away, he picked up the materials on his desk and read them carefully, which was for us to do advocacy work in universities, middle schools, and neighborhood communities.

The content of the work is aimed at the zombie incident that suddenly appeared in the last few days, and I may have scoffed at it before, but after the mysterious Longquan Township, I have a new understanding of the other side of the world.

After I came out with the materials, I was walking and reading on the way back to the office building, and a good buddy walked to the side and interrupted my thoughts. I saw him in a camouflage combat uniform and asked him about it.

The guy asked me for a cigarette with a stern face, glanced at the rumor-debunking materials I was holding, and pulled me around the corner of the hallway.

"It's a big deal. If you want to listen to me, tell you, anyway, we're in the same team, and I'm not afraid of you leaking out. ”

The buddy took a puff of cigarette and said: "You are a local, you know Qingcheng Mountain, the cause of this incident is that Qingcheng Mountain has become more and more prosperous tourism in recent years, so he wants to develop the Jiulao Cave in the back mountain, and as a result, he went in and excavated nine dried corpses, because he didn't dare to do it if he wanted to engage in tourism, and wanted to smuggle it to a hidden place to bury it." ”

"As a result, I don't know what happened that night, the five workers who were keeping vigil died, or the most cruel way to die, and not a single body was torn apart. The rest of the migrant workers were so frightened that they ran away, and the news spread, and the rumors spread all over the sky, and there were many more versions. ”

I smiled and threw the information in my hand to him, and I felt blushing, "I haven't seen anyone have rabies attacks on the day they were bitten, and several people have them together, but there is no way, there must be an explanation." ”

"Although it's a bit far-fetched, it's better than still having those unreliable versions flying around, what Shiling dug up the Qing Dynasty zombies, although I said that the history is not good, I also know that the tombs of the Ming Dynasty are buried there, and it is said that the nearby Wuhou Temple dug up, I don't know if Zhuge Liang came out?"

I deliberately eased the atmosphere, except for a few dry laughs of myself, which obviously didn't work well.

"Jiang Tao, are you going to hunt down zombies tonight?"

Jiang Tao shook his head, put out the cigarette and returned the information to me, "No, go pick up the remaining corpses in the Nine Old Caves." ”

"There were three dead bodies missing, and six were lying inside, and they had to be brought back for the black-clad ones to take away."

Jiang Tao glanced outside, patted me on the shoulder, and said that buddy had gone to gather and set off, and turned around and looked at me with his hand compared to a gun to his head before leaving.

"I sue you, don't talk nonsense! How else it would be! ”

Realizing that he had never seen such a stern expression on his face now, he knew that he was not joking, and nodded solemnly.

Sending him out of the office building and watching him get into the military vehicle and drive into the night curtain, I had a bad omen in my heart that Jiang Tao's mission would not be so smooth this time.

And it won't be that simple, the rumors spread too quickly.
