Chapter 5: A Strange Accident

I smiled bitterly, I didn't know what Team Zhang wanted to say, why did he suddenly ask such a strange question? Are there ghosts in the world? For an old party member like Team Zhang, this kind of question seems too boring. However, since Team Zhang can ask, I believe something must have happened.

So I asked Team Zhang in detail, what happened? But Team Zhang on the other end of the phone couldn't say a single reason, just told me to hurry up and clean up, and go to the intersection of Taihe Road on Shengli Street immediately, where I will naturally understand what happened. After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.

I glanced at my phone, and it was a quarter of a minute and a minute. On the phone just now, I heard a very loud voice, in addition to the howling wind, the shrill siren, and a very chaotic shouting. There was so much noise that I couldn't hear what the shouts were shouting. However, judging from the sound of sirens heard at the scene, since it can alarm the police, it must be something important.

I didn't think much of it, so I immediately put on my clothes and went out. Unexpectedly, there was a goose-feather snow outside, and the cold wind was howling, and the snowflakes in the midnight were more like grains of light, drifting down from the sky. It doesn't look like spring at all, it's like the scene of the cold winter wax moon. This strange weather is really confusing.

I drove to the place of the incident, after getting out of the car, I tightened the collar of my coat, looked ahead, the whole road has been blocked, the red and blue police lights are particularly eye-catching, and even the ambulance is constantly ringing on the side, looking at the people on the inside and outside of the three floors, and glancing at the car that overturned in the middle of the road, I hurriedly walked towards the accident site.

When Captain Zhang saw me coming, he quickly waved at me and motioned for me to come over. As I walked there, I looked at the accident, this accident should have been just an ordinary passenger car rollover accident, since the evening, this strange heavy snow has not stopped, in such a heavy snow environment,

It's not uncommon for a vehicle to roll over. What puzzled me was that in a traffic accident, special departments such as the Security Bureau, the Intelligence Department, and even the Disease Control and Biochemical Team were all at the scene of the accident. I watched their expressions,

Everyone had a very serious look on their faces. It seems that this is not just an ordinary traffic accident.

"Team Zhang, what's going on? An ordinary traffic accident, as for calling our disease control and biochemistry team? I asked.

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a rectangular object about three meters long being lifted out of the rear gate of the bus.

I looked at it and gasped, this was nothing but a huge coffin that was lifted out of the bus! After the coffin was carried out, it was immediately loaded into another car that had already been prepared, and before I could react, the coffin was loaded into the car, and the car quickly drove away from the scene. All this happened in just a few tens of seconds, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

I found out that the accident bus must have been modified in advance, and the door at the back of the car was obviously widened, which should have been used to put it in the coffin. This is strange, what exactly is this bus used for? Is it just to transport this coffin?

After the coffin was taken away, Team Zhang immediately called a few of us to get into the car, and our car followed closely behind the car with the coffin in front of us.

I asked Team Zhang in confusion, what the hell is going on? I had so many questions in my head that I didn't know what to ask first. As soon as my words came out, several people next to me also looked at Team Zhang, and it seemed that they, like me, were noncommittal about what was happening in front of them.

Captain Zhang took a deep breath and explained to us that, as I had expected, the bus that had the accident was meant to transport the coffin, and the coffin's destination was a research center in the frontier, but I didn't expect a traffic accident here. As for who exactly is the body in the coffin? Captain Zhang himself didn't know.

However, Team Zhang told us that this traffic accident was not ordinary, because the bus did not roll over under mechanical braking because of the snow on the road, and there was no sign of braking on the road at all. In other words, the car was "pushed down" by an external force!

Hearing this, all of us sitting down were stunned for a moment, although it is now cold and windy, but under this kind of wind, it is absolutely impossible for an external force to "push down" a passenger car?! It's a completely impossible thing to do.

"The bus was obviously modified, but what about the driver? And what happened to the people who escorted the coffin? They should have known what was going on at that time. I asked right away.

Captain Zhang told me that the driver and even the 24 loaded escort team members in the car were all dead, and the cause of death was very bizarre, their bodies did not have any wounds, the lower skin tissue was not swollen, their pupils were not dilated, and they all maintained the posture of holding the gun when they died, which means that they did not experience any pain at the moment of death.

Hearing Team Zhang say this, my first reaction was poisoning, only in the case of poisoning, it is possible to die unconsciously, but there are very few elements that can cause death in an instant. But after all, they have been driving in the car for a long time, and the gas produced in the car will not cause such a consequence, so what happened to suddenly produce some kind of deadly gas?

What makes me even more curious is, what exactly is in that coffin? Twenty-four men with loaded guns were used to escort them. This level of escort is definitely a task of the National Security Bureau above the first level, no wonder Team Zhang knows nothing about the coffin, because the Class A mission is a secret in the secret, only the person in charge of the special project will know, and when docking, it is also passed on by word of mouth with encrypted code words to avoid secret leakage. I became more and more interested in what was inside the coffin. Since we were assigned to the scene by our disease control and biochemistry team, it seems that we are going to the laboratory to open the coffin. Thinking of this,

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. There was an ominous premonition in my heart, as if something big was about to happen. For an antiquity like a coffin, it should be the archaeologists who are responsible, not our disease control and biochemical team, unless ...... There's something about a high-risk virus!

The car drove very fast, and the other people in the car asked Team Zhang about the accident and the coffin one after another, but Team Zhang shook his head, saying that he knew about this matter as much as everyone else, so he should wait until he got to the research room and opened the coffin to see what was going on.

After about forty minutes of walking, our car stopped at a suburban research lab. There was already a row of people in chemical protective clothing waiting at the entrance of the research institute, and the car with the coffin in front of it immediately opened the door after stopping, moved the coffin from the isolation room of the car, and walked quickly towards the research institute.

Captain Zhang immediately beckoned me to get out of the car, motioned for the others to stay in the car, and the two of us changed into chemical protective suits and went directly to the research room. On the way, I asked Team Zhang why he let me into the research room alone and left the others in the car. Team Zhang simply replied, which made me even more confused, "I don't know, this is the instruction from above." ”

After we entered the research room, I saw that there were five other people in the research room, but these five people, I had never seen before. Among the five people was an old man who was called "Professor Chen" by Team Zhang. Team Zhang and Professor Chen didn't even have a simple greeting, but directly asked Professor Chen, "How serious is this time?" Professor Chen's answer was very brief, "It's much more serious than you think." ”

I looked at the four people around Professor Chen, and among the three men and one woman, one of them was older, probably around forty years old, with a distinct forehead wrinkle, and a pair of glasses, who looked very knowledgeable. To the left of this middle-aged man is a young man who looks to be only in his twenties, and the person next to the young man caught my attention, this person has a round face, full of horizontal meat, slightly high cheekbones, small eyes and short eyebrows, and a bald head, how do you look like a good person. The position where he was standing was a certain distance from the two people next to him, and it seemed that he did not know the two people next to him.

The last remaining girl, who should also be in her twenties, has a slender figure, willow leaf thick eyebrows, a tall nose bridge, a cherry-like small mouth, and her eyes are radiant, and when she saw my eyes fall on her, she did not shy away from it, but smiled at me, which made me slightly embarrassed for a while.

At this time, Professor Chen made a "please" gesture to the bald head and the middle-aged man, signaling him to walk to the coffin, and then listened to Professor Chen say, "Now that the "account bearer" is dead, the rest can only rely on ourselves. The two of you look at this coffin, can you confirm that it is something from the Taihao period. ”

The "account bearer" mentioned by Professor Chen should be the person in charge of the coffin transportation, and this kind of person is called the "account bearer". If the account bearer dies, it will be very difficult to understand the ins and outs of this incident. The middle-aged man still looks like he is engaged in academic research, but how does the bald head look like a ruffian, and he has nothing to do with academics at all. While I was thinking, I whispered to Team Zhang, what does Professor Chen mean by "Taihao"?

My words happened to be heard by the bald head, he looked up at me, and then continued to look down at the coffin carefully, and said with a slight mockery in his mouth, "You cultural people are dead brains, what do you know about ancient things?" The Taihao period is the so-called ancient period, which is often referred to as the mythological era. Cangjie, who made characters, appeared at the end of that era. ”

Everyone ignored what the bald head said, and looked at the coffin carefully. There is something really special about this coffin, and there is a strange snake head carved on the coffin. The head of the snake was in the middle of the coffin, occupying almost a third of the place. The eyes of the snake head are very carefully carved, as if with eyes, which makes people look creepy. On both sides of the carved snake's head, there are some strange "symbols" densely packed, which look more like some kind of hieroglyphs, but are clearly different from ordinary hieroglyphs. The entire perimeter of the coffin is covered with this writing.

On the lid of the coffin, there is no strange text, but layers of scale-like things are carved, which are densely arranged together, as if they grow on the coffin, and under the light of the research room, the carved "scales" above the coffin show a kind of crimson red, which is obviously different from the color of the coffin. Under this crimson luster, on the left side of the coffin, there was a gemstone with a faint green glow, which looked very winkling under the light.

The bald head looked very closely, almost every inch of the coffin was missed, and I noticed a change in his expression, from the relaxed expression he had had previously mocked us, to a very nervous look later, and by the end, his face had become solemn.

The bald head walked over slowly, and said to Professor Chen in a very solemn tone, "Old man, where did you get this coffin?" ”

Professor Chen shook his head, saying that he had no understanding of this coffin at all, and he didn't know where this coffin came from, and now he didn't even know where to send it.

The bald face "brushed" changed, and he scolded directly, "Damn, you guys are so bold!" Dare to get anything "on the ground"! This coffin is definitely not a good stubble, and the overturn must have something to do with this coffin. Now there are grave robbers everywhere, and you are really not as good as tomb robbers. Grave robbers still know what to steal and what not to steal. It's better for you to bring anything up from "below." Don't you know that there are things that never see the light? Once you see the light, you don't dare to think about the consequences! ”

"Be careful when you speak!" The young man next to Professor Chen interrupted the bald head and raised his voice.

The bald head then looked at the young man angrily, and scolded, "Watch out for a fart!" You little cub, when Lao Tzu went to the ground to dig for goods, ** was still liquid! Today's incident, if I hadn't been here, you would have poked out the big basket sooner or later! The bald head said as he walked towards the young man, and the two looked tense.

Team Zhang immediately grabbed the bald head, while Professor Chen glared at the young man, motioned for the young man not to speak, and asked the bald head with a smile, what should I do next?

Hearing this, I realized that this bald head turned out to be a captain who touched gold, that is, a tomb robber. It's a joke, a few of us are academics, and we ended up getting a tomb robber to give us "guidance"? That's ridiculous, isn't it? I have always scoffed at tomb robbing, especially ghosts and spirits, and according to normal procedure, we should now open this coffin and study the corpses inside, instead of listening to the tomb robber's arrogant rhetoric. But seeing that Professor Chen was so respectful to this bald head, I didn't say it directly, but politely reminded Professor Chen that since the bus had overturned, it was necessary to check the coffin first for biochemical leaks. In particular, the mysterious death of the 24 escorts on the bus may have something to do with some kind of substance in the coffin. And according to the previous protective measures, it seems that it is to prevent the large-scale spread of a certain disease, otherwise we would not have come from afar.

Before Professor Chen could speak, the bald head turned his head and glared at me, and then scolded, "Are you all fucking deaf?" Can't you hear what I just said? This coffin can't be touched! It's crazy to want to open the coffin. Nerds just don't know how thick the sky is. I tell you, the contents of this coffin must not be touched......"

The bald head hadn't finished speaking, but I heard that the coffin next to him suddenly made a crisp sound at this time, and immediately there was a series of sound of linkage between the machine and the machine, and my heart suddenly tightened, could it be that this strange coffin opened by itself? !
