Chapter 3 Zero Organization
"Missing? Youβwhat do you mean by that? β
Nie Yu looked at Ye Zuguang in astonishment, he naturally knew what the disappearance meant, he actually wanted to say what happened.
Ye Zuguang groaned, and spoke with a look of regret and apology.
It turned out that just over a month ago, when an expedition team was crossing this desert, it discovered that there was a bottomless hole somewhere in the hinterland.
As he spoke, he pointed to a certain place outside the window, Nie Yu looked at it but didn't see anything, but he knew that the big hole was probably in that direction, so he didn't interrupt the other party's narration.
The expedition was also well-equipped, and out of curiosity, they roughly measured the depth of the big hole with a rope, and seemed to want to go down to see it, but when they really got this depth, they were all discouraged, because the hole was more than 170 meters deep.
You know, this is a mobile desert, if you rush down, the slightest change on it will be unimaginable.
It just so happened that there was an archaeology enthusiast in this team, and he guessed that it might be a cave left by tomb robbers, so he reported it to the Archaeological Association, so that Ye Zuguang learned about it.
170 meters deep, this is something that the archaeological community cannot understand, because ordinary ancient tombs are only more than ten meters underground, even if they are deep, they are only 30 meters to the end, so at first they just thought it was a joke.
However, considering that this is a mobile desert, if you don't make sure in time, once the quicksand is submerged, then there will be no chance to uncover this secret in the future.
Speaking of this, Ye Zuguang subconsciously rubbed his hands, his expression was very unnatural.
After that, it was logical that he chose Nie Yuan, that is, Nie Yu's father, as the captain of this archaeological team, and took four archaeological team members to the cave to investigate.
"But, but ......"
Ye Zuguang was a little excited, "But in the end, only one archaeological team member surnamed Zhang came out, and I heard him say that everyone else died, because they encountered the legendary ghost corpse." β
"Ghost corpses?"
Nie Yu was also taken aback, as a college student in the new era, how could he believe such a thing, but it was indeed from the other party's mouth, and he was extremely sure, "Uncle Ye, then, then my father is also ......"
"No!"
Ye Zuguang waved his hand and said with a little doubt: "After that, we sent another team down, but only found three corpses, for this reason, I asked the archaeological team surnamed Zhang again, and I heard him say that your father should have walked into a coffin that stood up, and he never saw it again, that is, after that, the so-called ghost corpse appeared." So ......"
Ye Zuguang spread his hands and expressed helplessness, "It's a pity, I sent a third team down to find the coffin that was erected, but until now they haven't come up, it's been almost three weeks." β
"That is, my father has been missing for a month, has he?"
Nie Yu stood up excitedly, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Then, why did you tell me now?" β
The tears had begun to roll around his eyes.
Maybe out of some kind of guilt, the white hair on Ye Zuguang's sideburns couldn't stop trembling, but he didn't get angry, but said calmly: "Xiaoyu, I understand your current mood, but you have to think about it, even if I tell you, will you have any way?" Our professional archaeological team is just gone, what can you do? β
Nie Yu was speechless, just trembled his lips and said, "Then, will you send someone down to search?" β
"Of course!"
Ye Zuguang replied firmly, "I have to do this, so in the past two weeks, I have been mobilizing manpower to go down to the tomb for the fourth time, and when we went upstairs, we saw that old man was one of them." β
Nie Yu nodded heavily, and then said slowly: "Uncle Ye, this time, I will also go down." β
"No way!"
Ye Zuguang categorically refused, and said very seriously: "That's too dangerous, there are already so many people missing and dead, I don't want any more accidents to happen, besides, you are Xiao Nie's only son, once something happens, I, I ......"
"And what else did you ask me to do?"
Nie Yu asked, although he was already trying his best to control it at the moment, but the voice was even more trembling.
Looking at his desolate and sad expression, Ye Zuguang said in a deep voice: "Because, I need to explain it to you in person, otherwise, send someone to inform you at will, I am afraid of you...... Also, yes, here's something your father left behind, so ......"
"My father is not dead!"
Nie Yu stared at the white-haired old man opposite with red eyes, "I believe he is not dead, so I can't take these, these so-called relics of you." β
"No!"
Ye Zuguang shook his head helplessly, "Xiaoyu, I understand your current mood, but, you must know that a month has passed, even if your father didn't have ...... at the beginning" He couldn't bear to say that word, "But do you believe that a person can survive for a month without any resources?" β
"Nope! My father didn't die! β
Nie Yu said this sentence again, and even a hideous expression appeared on his face, "So, I have to go down together, I have to find him!" Believe me, I will never hold you back, although I am not an archaeology professional, but I have been exposed to it since I was a child, I think you should know that I am by no means worse than your archaeological team members. β
"Alas!"
sighed again, hesitated for a long time, and then Ye Zuguang said frankly, "Xiaoyu, in fact, let me tell you, the matter of this ancient tomb is not completely archaeological now, I believe that you have seen the situation outside when you came, do you believe that an archaeological association can mobilize the army?" β
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused and slowly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "We checked the three corpses that were found, and on their wounds, we did find a brand new virus, this is the first time that it has been confirmed that there are really unknown creatures in the ancient tomb, so this matter has been handed over to another organization, and now I don't count." β
After listening to what the other party said, Nie Yu thought for a while and asked calmly, "Yes...... Zero organization? β
Obviously, when he heard this, Ye Zuguang was obviously stunned, of course, after a while, he figured it out, so he had to nod his head in acknowledgement.
"Uncle Ye!"
Nie Yu screamed softly, and at this time his tears were already pouring down, "I know, you are also a member of the Zero Organization, I believe that you will definitely be able to help me with this, right?" I must go down, I will find him myself. β
Looking at Nie Yu's uncontrollable tears, Ye Zuguang thought for nearly 15 minutes, during which Nie Yu looked at him silently, seeing that he was a little inexplicably hairy.
Finally, at a certain moment, he nodded helplessly, "I'll try, but only this once." β
After speaking, he took out a rather special mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number, and Nie Yu saw the name intentionally or unintentionally, General Li (zero).
Half a day passed, and Ye Zuguang finally spoke.
"General Lee!"
β¦β¦
"Hmmm! It's me. β
β¦β¦
"Tomorrow's action, I want to add one more person."
β¦β¦
"He is, he is Nie Yuan's son."
β¦β¦
"Hmmm! Rest assured, I trust in his abilities. β
β¦β¦
"Good! OK! β
β¦β¦
"Good! Thank you! β
After speaking, Ye Zuguang hung up the phone, raised his head and looked at Nie Yu and said, "The other party agreed, but there is also a requirement, that is, after going down to the ancient tomb, you must obey the command, otherwise you will ......"
"I agree!"
Before Ye Zuguang finished speaking, Nie Yu nodded firmly, in order to be able to go down, of course he had to agree.
However, he had another question in a moment, a big question, and he hesitated again and again and finally couldn't help but say, "Uncle Ye, is my father he, is he also a member of the Zero Organization?" β
"This ......"
Ye Zuguang's expression, which had already calmed down, suddenly tightened, "This, I'll talk about it later." β
He subconsciously lowered his head, as if he was avoiding something.
Although the other party did not have a clear answer, Nie Yu seemed to be able to guess a thing or two, considering the mystery of this organization, he did not continue to ask without interest.
At this time, Ye Zuguang said again: "You can live here today, and officially act at 10 o'clock tomorrow." β
"Who's the leader?"
Nie Yu asked.
"Humph! It's that old man, the old man in the shroud, his name is Gu Qi, and there will be a party at night, since you have become one of them, you will naturally go back to participate, and you will see it then. β
β¦β¦
Finally, when night fell, Ye Zuguang took Nie Yu to eat in the temporary canteen, and then took him to the second floor of another small building.
The outside of this small building is guarded by sentinels, and it seems to be very tight.
Finally came to the hall on the second floor, Nie Yu finally saw several other operatives, counting himself should be five. Two of them were seen by themselves, one was the slightly ghostly ancient seven, and everyone else called him the seventh master, and Nie Yu never knew where he came from.
And the other turned out to be the young officer who picked him up, who didn't let out a fart for half a day, and only after being introduced did he know that his name was Duanmu Longchi.
The remaining two turned out to be a man and a woman, the man was called Zhang Ning, but he was not the one who followed his father to the grave and successfully escaped, because, during the meeting, the person who was talked about had inexplicably gone crazy two weeks ago and had been transferred to the capital hospital for treatment.
The remaining woman was a big beauty who should be about the same age as Duanmu Longchi, and Nie Yu, who was full of thoughts, didn't have time to appreciate whether the other party was beautiful. However, a question mark appeared in his mind, could a woman really perform such a task?
The person presiding over the meeting was naturally Ye Zuguang, who was the absolute No.1 in the archaeological field and had a deep study of many strange ancient tombs.
However, during the meeting, Nie Yu found that his Uncle Ye had special respect for that ancient seven, which made a question mark appear in his mind again, that is, who was this ancient seven, and he could not use his real name here.
The whole meeting was simple, consisting of a general analysis of what might happen to the operation and an inventory of the tools and equipment used.
These things are not strange to Nie Yu, after all, his father is an excellent archaeologist, and he has long been familiar with these things.
The only thing that made him feel a little unhappy was that when Ye Zuguang introduced him, those people cast suspicious glances at him from time to time, especially the ancient seven who led the team, those sharp eyes, as if they could pierce people, this had not yet gone to the ancient tomb, which made Nie Yu feel a little cold.
