Death Island, formerly known as Honghu Island, is located in the middle of Honghu Island, covering an area of about 500 acres of land, which is not big among the islands, but the dense forests on the island are lush and numerous, and there is no end to the longitudinal lookout. Honghu Lake is a huge inland lake, the only way to go to the island is at the ferry port in the northwest corner, in addition, it is surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides, and the vertical height reaches nearly 100 meters. If a person falls from a cliff, even if he falls into the icy lake, he will be crushed to pieces, if he unfortunately falls into the hard and messy pile of rocks, he will only leave a puddle of bloody mud, and the violent corpse will emit a foul smell under the scorching sun, and as the night falls, a group of snakes, insects, rats and ants from the depths of the dense forest will start to act, and the next day only a pile of inconspicuous white bones will remain.

Honghu is located next to Kennel Town, which lives up to its name and is the largest canine trading market in the region, and long ago, the town attracted many exotic species. (Centuries ago, the pet industry provided more economic benefits than it used to be, and merchants saw an opportunity to make a lot of money, so research into xenomorphs began in earnest.) A genetically modified canine that increases in size can cost even more than a car. This is what the so-called alien species refer to. It wasn't until the frequent fatal attacks that society began to take the matter seriously, and during that time, the newspapers on the streets and alleys were everywhere about a family of three being brutally bitten and torn limbs by their own giant dog breed. Later, a massacre also broke out on a large scale, with kennel town being the most serious.

Genetically mutated dog meat cannot enter the market, and experts suspect that burying it in the soil will cause the vegetables grown to carry an unknown virus, so burning the corpse is the only feasible method. However, there are so many dog breeds in Kennel Town, the average number of dogs in each household has exceeded 100, and nearly 5,000 households have created a magnificent dog kingdom. If the amount of incineration is not banned, I am afraid that this sea of fire will carry some kind of virus particles throughout the town.

As a result, it has been suggested that dogs be thrown directly into a desert island in the middle of Honghu Lake, where they will still be left to fend for themselves. At first, there were no accidents, when the launcher entered the ferry port of the island, one of the captain's children disappeared, on the beach of the lake only a few dozen meters from the ferry, and later someone found his body, being devoured by a pack of crazy wild dogs. Later, it was decided that the dogs would be killed before they were put on the island, but the washing of the blood gradually became a problem, so in order to make it more convenient, they brought the dogs to the island and then executed them. Muddy blood soaked the island, dog corpses piled up in the depths of the forest, day after day, year after year, finally, an apocalyptic plague broke out from the island, the virus infected the lake, spread to the kennel town, that dark night, killing, gore, baby crying, terrifying screams, manic roars, finally buried this once glorious town under the wheel of history.

But all this is just outside media reports, and after hundreds of years, no one wants to go to know the details, because none of the explorers survived.

Wang Xiaohong glanced at the middle-aged man who had been standing outside the office door in the depths of the corridor, she turned around and shook her head and said to the young man, "May I ask your surname?" ”

"Lu Ming." The young man replied, and only then did he notice the middle-aged man in the distance, who seemed to be familiar, and next to the sign outside the elevator, a bust of an advertising portrait was him.

"Hello Mr. Lu, our company may not be able to accept your request, please forgive me for this matter."

The young man was startled and jumped directly from the desk he was sitting on, and he asked with a puzzled look, "What?" Can't be accepted? Do you have money to earn? ”

"Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry, it's important to make money, but the brand is priceless, if we accept your request, in case the applicant has an accident and is killed. This is a devastating blow to our company's image, and it is not something that a million can get back. "Wang Xiaohong doesn't like to see the young man in front of her, a womanizer, relying on money, you can do anything wrong, her previous unhappy marriage also came from this, when the loved one became rich overnight, she completely left her own happiness and sorrow behind." Mr. Lu, please understand that if you still insist on registering your information, we can introduce you to another intermediary service company, which is our strongest opponent. ”

The young man glared at her angrily, he had never met anything that could not be solved without money, and the so-called evil greed came from a single banknote, and that was because everyone was the same as himself. Bastard, you yellow-faced woman, you look pretentious, and you are actually more insatiable than anyone else. He snorted coldly and walked directly towards the depths of the aisle, the crowd watched this scene, and Wang Xiaohong did not stop it.

"Hello, I am the general manager of this company, Zhou Hua, you can call me Lao Zhou." Lu Ming just wanted to speak, but the other party stepped forward and stretched out his hand to introduce himself.

"Weekly (total)...... Old Zhou. Lu Ming turned around and glanced at the crowd in the distance who were still talking in a low voice, and he was puzzled: "It's really kind, don't you make this money?" ”

Lao Zhou seemed to smile and sighed: "Basically, as she said, it's not that she doesn't earn it, but she doesn't dare to earn it." ”

Basically? Lu Ming secretly said in his heart, bastard, and an insatiable despicable villain. The word "basic" says it all. Thinking that the boss behind the scenes paid a heavy reward of 20 million for the investigation, a piece of fat that reached his mouth couldn't slip away like this. A smile appeared on him and he whispered, "Brother Zhou, take a step to speak." Then the two stepped into the office, and with a soft slam of the door, everything was quiet again on the sixteenth floor.

The décor in the office is understated but not intriguing, and the seemingly inconsequential combination of chaise longue and sponge cushions is indirectly reminiscent of a series of dirty things, and there is always a hint of light floral perfume in it, which is suitable for young and beautiful women, and for newlywed mothers-to-be. Lu Ming could see it at a glance, that is, he was an enthusiast of exploration and investigation, and his natural observation ability was different from ordinary people. This Lao Zhou must have a leg with the female secretary on the outermost desk in the aisle, and the perfume on this body smells exactly the same, Lu Ming ridiculed the other party in his heart, he is still a hypocrite who is pretentious.

"Mr. Lu, please be seated." Zhou Hua brewed a cup of pale green flower tea, the heat was mixed with the smell of perfume in the room, and it stayed under the dark downlight for a moment before disappearing. "I hope you can understand that the company's decision is not my decision, there is a board of directors above, and I am only half an errand at best."

"Thank you." Lu Ming stroked the purple frosted teacup, although the surface was rough, but it was not so good that he could put his hand down, on the contrary, the residual temperature extending from the cup made his fingers feel slightly comfortable, and the other party Yu was obviously very good at tasting tea. "Let's be honest, before that, we did find other intermediary service companies, but there was no news for a long time, but there were a few, but it was just a lot of money, we are not only responsible for this operation, but more importantly, for the safety of our lives."

Zhou Hua nodded, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said in his heart that he was not interested in such a question, it seemed that the other party had not found the point for a long time, and he didn't understand whether to pretend to be stupid or innocent and cute. "Mr. Lu, I know you must be a strong team, but our company can't afford such a risk, so ......"

"Five hundred thousand!" The young man stroked the teacup, and his gaze moved from the tea in the cup to Zhou Hua's eyes. "I'll give you another 500,000 in private, I don't know, if you can be willing to take this risk."

Zhou Hua swallowed the water in his mouth and hesitated for a moment before swallowing it, he put down the cup in his hand and said solemnly: "One million." ”

"A million?" Lu Ming sneered: "Are you crazy?" Thought I didn't know what you wanted? ”

"Nope." Zhou Hua ignored his angry expression, shook his head and said, "You're crazy!" You know better than anyone what kind of encounters a conscriptor may face, and in the event of an accident, the negative impact we bear is definitely not something that can be recovered by this million! ”

The office remained quiet, Lu Ming calculated in his heart, the remuneration of 20 million, the team of five people, after paying this fee, the actual amount of money received by each person was only 3.6 million, if this guy deducted half of the applicant's remuneration, he could also make a net profit of 1.5 million yuan by sitting back and enjoying it, and the greed was really endless. Lu Ming stood up, his limbs prompting the chair to retreat outward, making a screeching sound of rubbing against the floor. "A million! I need two professionals, tomorrow night at eight o'clock, from the West Exit of Tiandu Port Road, here is a cash check for two million. Lu Ming took out a check that had already been prepared from his bag and put it in front of the table. Zhou Hua's eyes were very bright, staring directly at the familiar white paper, afraid that the amount on it would go wrong, and lowered his head to observe carefully.

Syllable! Lu Ming stretched out his right hand and slammed it on the check, slapping the table and startling Zhou Hua. He said with a blank face: "I need two absolutely professional people. ”

"Rest assured, rest assured." Zhou Hua smiled, nodded and agreed: "One of them is absolutely professional, he used to be the local sheriff of Kennel Town, no one knows there better than him, no one. ”

Lu Ming stared at his greedy eyes, withdrew his hand, and then turned to leave. "Remember the time, tomorrow night at eight o'clock, a large white passenger car on the West Exit Port Road, without a license plate number."

In the office, Zhou Hua was very excited, he pocketed the check, and then dialed a person's phone number.

Doodle...... Doodle...... Doodle......

"Hey."

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Mu Yu?" Zhou Hua stared at Mu Tianyu's avatar on the screen, and one of the annotations was: Alien population.

"You are?"

"I'm Lao Zhou of an intermediary service company, remember? We talked about it last time. ”

"Oh, hello, of course I remember, I'm really sorry, I didn't have time to inform the store manager last night because I had some personal matters to deal with, I'm really sorry."

Zhou Hua browsed his registration information, and it was really the first time he came to this city. "It's okay, Mr. Mu, isn't it because of yesterday that you still need to work at night?"

Mu Tianyu hesitated a little, he thought that what happened last night would cause this call to be dialed, because he knew that the manager of the convenience store and the middle-aged man surnamed Zhou used to be classmates. He replied: "There is a need, there has always been a need. ”

"That's right, the next job is about seven days, accompanying a group of foreign photographers to take care of the place, which is almost two days away from Tiandu. As for the remuneration, seven days, 100,000 yuan! Lao Zhou deliberately raised the voice of the three words "100,000 yuan", looking forward to the other party's reply.

"Caregiving? What kind of job is it? ”

He didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, and an excited expression was still fixed on his face. "Oh, caretaker?" He hesitated: "Even if the other party has any orders, you can just fulfill them." However, the locations where this group of reporters went to shoot could be dangerous, which is why they were paid so much. Lao Zhou got up from his chair, hovered in front of the office desk, and explained: "Actually, it's not a big deal, there have been several homicides in that place, and now it has become a deserted town that no one cares about, and the remaining terrifying shadow of the town is just media hype." ”

"Okay, you can."

"Yes...... OK? Zhou Hua stopped abruptly, he thought he had heard something wrong. What do you mean? Did you agree to this application? ”

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"No, no problem." Zhou Hua replied hesitantly, trying to stabilize his nervous and excited emotions. "Then you go directly to report tomorrow, and set off at eight o'clock tomorrow night, on Xikou Harbor Road, there is a bus with no license plate number. You don't have to sign for it, I vouch for it, and after seven days, I'll personally prepare it for you. ”

Mu Tianyu lay outside the barrier fence in the depths of the dense forest of Tiandu Peak, staring at the strange characters carved on the wooden stakes every few tens of meters, the ritual of imprisoning the soul was, in a sense, an evil art, and it was forbidden for psychics to use it as a last resort. He took a deep breath, and sighed in his heart about the previous call, he didn't need me to sign, did he want to clear up the relationship? It's a strange job to apply for this time.
