Chapter 553: Taibai Mountain
"Inform Chang'an and Xianyang that we will send a task force into the foothills of the Qinling Mountains to carry out special missions."
"Yes."
The capital at night
In the low-key but not luxurious military guest house, the lighting is a little dim.
"They have decided to send a team of people to Chang'an." In the dark shadow, a man in a black robe also covered his head in a cloak, giving people the feeling that his whole person was also a black shadow.
"It's already hooked."
"What are you going to do next?"
"Of course it's going to Xianyang." Wales shook the glass slightly, and the red wine inside swayed.
The next day, the sun was warm and the sky was clear.
Early in the morning, Wales went directly to the head of the military who was in charge of receiving them, and asked for their leadership, and soon he was taken to a heavily guarded place. β
"Report to the chief, the Viscount of Wales has asked to see you."
"Ask him to come in."
"Yes."
Wales was brought into the not very spacious, somewhat old-fashioned drawing room.
"You may be seated, Mr. Wales."
"Sorry to bother you so early, General Lee."
"You're too polite, please sit down, come here, serve tea." General Li is a medium-sized, thin old man, nearly seventy years old, but he has great prestige in the army, and in this capital, he is an important person who has tried his best to win over all sides but does not dare to offend.
"General Li, I came this time with a request. I hope you can say yes. β
"Speak. Mr Wales helped us so much. We have provided us with so much scientific research, as long as we can do something, we will do our best to satisfy you. β
"I heard that you are going to send a special team to Qinling, because you have already found a substance that can resist the virus through the information I provided, and found the natural source of this substance."
"Hehe, the Viscount of Wales is well-informed, huh?"
"Where, we open the skylight to speak brightly, we have been looking for this natural substance, and Great Britain is not without it. However, the number is very scarce and extremely difficult to cultivate. β
"So, you're looking at other countries?"
"Yes, please forgive us for being selfish." Wales apologized very sincerely.
"I'm sorry, but we're on a secret mission this time, so we can't take you there." General Lee outright rejected Wales' request.
"Listen to me, and if you promise to take us there, I'll provide you with more valuable scientific research."
Hearing this condition, General Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he had heard from the people below how important the information they provided was to domestic scientific research, so to speak. A day earlier the development of drugs that could counteract the virus could have saved many lives, and people are now injured and killed in battles with mutants almost every day. And after being infected with the virus, unless they can defeat the virus and awaken, there is a lower city, and that is death.
"This is my sincerity, and I hope General Li can think about it." Wales got up and left, leaving a hard drive on General Lee's desk before leaving.
"Come on, go and invite Professor Lu to come." As soon as Wales left on the front foot, Professor Lu, who had been notified, was escorted by soldiers to this important place of the military.
"Professor Lu, you have lost a lot of weight, and you have worked hard these days."
"General Li, you are strict, is there anything wrong?"
"Wales just came to look for it, this is the hard drive he left behind, can you see if the information in it is useful to you?"
"Okay, I'll do my best to get back to you." Professor Lu said after taking the USB drive.
"Come and tell those who are going to Qinling, postpone the time of action, and the specific time will be notified separately."
"Yes."
Two days later, a medium-sized military transport plane took off from a military airfield in Beijing and flew directly to the northwest, where they were to reach Chang'an and then divert from Chang'an into the foothills of the Qinling Mountains to search for relict plants that contained natural ingredients that could resist viruses.
Only this time it was not only the task force from the capital that flew to Chang'an, but also the Viscount of Wales from Great Britain and his two companions.
"Captain, why did you let them go to Chang'an with us?"
"That's what it means, keep an eye on them, especially the guy in the suit, who goes to the jungle and dresses so formally, it's like going on vacation." "Yes!"
On the Chang'an side, Lu Youxing had just relieved his breath, and a few days ago he was in a hurry by the sudden appearance of the parasite, but fortunately, he had found a substance that could restrain that terrible creature, although this substance was difficult to extract some, but it was finally controlled by the spreading epidemic.
"The task force from the capital is going to Qinling to carry out a special mission, what mission?" At this time, Lu Youxing was in his room, half-lying on the sofa, thinking.
Jingle bells, and the phone on the desk rings.
"Hey, it's me."
"Act according to the plan."
After a tense and exciting flight, the medium-sized military transport plane from the capital finally came to the sky over Chang'an, and after making contact with the command station on the ground, the plane slowly landed.
"Chang'an, this is an ancient city that is older than the capital." After the plane landed, Wales lit a cigar and sighed.
"Mr. Wales seems to know our country very well."
"Yes, I've been here for a long time, and I actually like it a lot, and it's a long history full of magical excesses." Wales was very sincere.
"Hmph, the ghost only believes it!"
After they landed, they were warmly received by Chang'an, and at the same time, the news of their arrival spread rapidly through various channels, and some people with or without intentions knew the news.
"Great Britain, are you coming?" After hearing the news, Xiao Xiao immediately informed Li Shanhe and Feng Tang that Xianyang's guard was much higher than usual, and a lot of secret sentinels were sprinkled on the periphery of the camp.
After spending the night in Chang'an City, the team from the capital set off for the Taibai Mountain Range, the foothills of the Qinling Mountains, just after dawn.
"Is that Xianyang?" Taking a specially arranged car in Chang'an City, when passing through Xianyang, Wales looked out the window.
"Yes."
"In the legend, Qin Shi Huang unified the world and set the capital, where there is a magnificent Afang Palace?" Welsh Road.
"It's long since turned to dust." The captain who led the team said.
The foothills of the Qinling Mountains are densely wooded and there are many mutants, which means that this operation will definitely not be easy, although they have the latest weapons, although most of them are awakened.
Hum, a black mutant, the size of a dragonfly, but there were a lot of them, there were thousands.
Damn it!
fire
Flames rose from the jungle like a dragon circling, flames burning the buzzing mutants to ashes and falling to the ground.
"Be careful, everyone, this is a forbidden place."
The foothills of the Qinling Mountains are one of the top ten forbidden places listed by the capital, because it is an important mountain range in China, because the dense forests here are full of countless creatures.
"Is that Taibai Mountain?!" Wales stopped and looked up at the towering mountain in the distance.
"That's right, that's Taibai Mountain, the highest peak at the foot of the Qinling Mountains."
"It's very majestic!"
Shhhh
"How?"
"There are mutants."
"Where?"
"It's near us!"
Everyone looked around, but they didn't find a single mutant.
"It's a strange feeling, it seems to be right in front of you, but you can't spot it."
Whoosh, suddenly a dark red snake-like thing shot out, and then told of a warrior's body piercing, and then dragging his body deeper into the jungle.
"It's a mutant of the stealth class."
fire
wind
For a while, all kinds of abilities staggered through the forest to attack the depths of the jungle, and in the end, after a series of battles, although the mutant with strange abilities was killed, they also sacrificed one team member, and it was only less than an hour before they entered the foothills of the Qinling Mountains.
"It's far worse than we thought."
There are terrible mutations that may appear at any time in the jungle, this is not the worst thing, the destination of their trip is to find an ancient plant called unifolium, searching for a grass in this jungle, its difficulty is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, although the team came with the most famous animal and plant experts in China, but it seems that there is also a big trouble here, the terrible virus makes the genes in the body of these plants unpredictable mutations, so that their growth breaks through the original boundary, At this time, the Qinling Mountains were several times denser than the original Qinling Mountains.
Time flies quickly to find plants on the one hand, and to fight mutants on the other, but the scope of their search is really small.
"It's time for us to retreat."
"Let's look for it, maybe we'll find it in the next moment." Wales seemed to be very keen on the opportunity and were unwilling to give it up.
"No, we must leave the jungle before dark, after dark, the terrible Cheng dΓΉ here will be more than ten times more than now, and then we may all have to explain here, and we will not be able to continue to search and retreat after dark!"
The group could only leave the mountains and forests unwillingly, but they did not return to Chang'an after leaving, but found a place to settle down in the periphery of the Qinling Mountains, the periphery of Taibai County, so that they could climb the mountain and enter the forest immediately after getting up tomorrow morning.
"It's been a tiring day, Professor Sun, you should rest early, and we will be on duty at night."
"We can help too." Wales took the initiative to listen.
"No need, thank you!" (To be continued......)
