169. Shadow of the Border
The queen didn't say much about Hao Dong's experience, just listened quietly. The second dog, who came back with the food quickly, was shocked when he heard it.
Especially about Luo Qinghe, I don't know what life-saving grace he once owed the other party, and retorted again and again:
"No, no, no, you must not have found the right person, you met the copycat! Let me tell you, a capable person has become famous in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and he has pretended to be his litter! ”
Hao Dong was too lazy to debate with him, and Qi Jue wouldn't care about this kind of thing. No matter how many times Ergou emphasized it, in the end no one cared about him, and he himself felt bored, so he pouted and didn't say anything.
Several people at the dinner table looked like they were thinking about each other, and when the second dog also quieted down, the whole atmosphere immediately became quiet. The queen spoke slowly:
"Our mission this time was directly dispatched by the national security. Specifically, please explain to us Team Zhao. ”
Zhao Zheng, who had been working hard, heard this, obviously didn't expect the queen to come up so smoothly and throw the matter on his head.
However, as the person in charge of this mission, it is not too much to ask him to introduce this mission.
Although he had been busy since he got up early this morning, and finally stuttered at this point, he immediately stopped, wiped it with a napkin and opened his mouth:
"This time, we have to go to the border, and there is a strange situation in the area of the Halaha River in the Daxing'an Mountains."
That area is located in Inner Mongolia, which is sparsely populated and rich in water and grass, and is also a place where nomads gather. In recent years, tourism has risen, and local talent has gradually settled. However, there are still many tribes that still live as nomads.
Nearly 90 members of the clan died violently overnight, and more than 20,000 cattle died miserably. It is said that there was a river of blood at the scene, and the ground was dyed red.
"Chalkler is one of the more famous branches in the local area, it has existed for hundreds of years, and the locals are very frightened that such a large family can be slaughtered overnight."
Zhao Zheng frowned, the problem was not only that.
Because this season is the time when the water and grass are good, many local nomadic tribes follow the Haraha River. The Chalkle tribe was formed by the merger of three larger tribes, and was also walking along the Haraha River at the time, and it happened to be out of the border.
As a natural boundary river between China and Mongolia, residents on both sides of the river are more accustomed to distinguishing whether it is Inner Mongolia or Outer Mongolia according to the riverbank. So they move along the east bank of the river, which is quite normal under normal circumstances.
However, this time, there was such a large massacre, and immediately the problem became sensitive, and the national border was immediately clearly demarcated.
There are already people in the area who are trying to take advantage of this incident, some accuse the Mongolian army of doing it, and some fan the flames that the victims planned to smuggle in.
Not to mention that these reasons themselves are not tenable, the people are a group that is easy to follow public opinion, not to mention the issue of the country's face, when the central government received the news that a special investigation team was sent over, it was obstructed by the Mongolian side.
At this time, everyone had almost eaten seven or eight points full, and this topic was not a topic that could make people happy to increase the amount of food, so they all left the cafeteria and returned to the dormitory to continue the discussion.
Zhao Zheng rubbed the corners of his forehead, and in the bright light of the headlights in the house, he could see the fatigue on his face:
"The Mongolian side thinks that it is not in accordance with the rules for our team of experts to bring military personnel over, and they require that our people not carry any weapons. But that's all there is to it, and in fact, the inspection equipment carried by our experts has also been classified under the name of 'radiological, biological and chemical weapons'. ”
No matter how powerful the experts are, without the assistance of instruments, it is estimated that they can only see at most half of the situation that could have been seen in ten places.
What's more, this matter is not only a matter that will affect the results of the investigation, China's status in the international community has been increasing day by day over the years, if we have to obey just because Mongolia says such a thing, it is tantamount to slapping ourselves in the face.
Once things get to such a purely political aspect, it's hard to have a good time. But this is really a big matter, and you can't really just talk about it.
So what the above means, even if the other party doesn't let us enter, we must find a way to cross the border and investigate carefully.
Ergou snorted: "There is a fart above and a play under it." ”
Zhao Zheng didn't say anything, but Hao Dong glanced at him with some confusion.
Among all the people present, that is, Hao Dong has the least experience and the softest heart. After hearing about this kind of thing, his first reaction was to sympathize with the victim.
At this time, listening to Ergou's ironic words, I rarely disagreed with Ergou's attitude.
International relations are not something that ordinary people like them can interfere in, but in any case, so many compatriots are buried there, and they should find ways to bypass those messy things and do more practical things for the dead.
Of course, the person who issued the order was really irresponsible, but that kind of irresponsibility also gave a relatively broad authority, which obviously means that if there are some illegal operations, the upper authorities will not interfere.
At this time, in Hao Dong's view, it is enough to be able to do good deeds, and complaining too much is not good for things at all.
Qi Jue and the queen didn't say anything about this, but Qi Jue suddenly reached out and pinched Hao Dong's shoulder, as if silently cheering him up.
Ergou was also a little uncomfortable by Hao Dong, and touched his nose to find himself under the stairs: "Everything has been arranged, then we must also run this trip regardless of whether we are reasonable or reasonable!" ”
Zhao Zheng opened the small black briefcase that he had been with him before, but had never opened, and took out a pile of materials from it:
"We don't have to worry about how the expert group will pass, but in order to prevent them from being delayed for too long, we have to go over as a team of travelers and give them any kind of help at the right time. But I thought of recommending our team to my boss because I saw it later. ”
What Zhao Zheng took out was a document, followed by data, and in front of it were several color photos.
Hao Dong just glanced at it, and his face turned white with a brush. At the same time, he immediately understood why Zhao Zheng thought of them, the situation in the photo was clearly very similar to the deaths of the dean of St. Paul that the queen showed them before.
Zhao Zheng didn't know much about the St. Paul's stall, but he knew a lot about the situation on the Huaying: "The reason why the boss is looking for me is also because of the discovery on the Huaying." ”
Although Bai Heng and Bai Xing were secretly transported to the capital and hid here in the research institute as soon as they came, they were not noticed by more units. But there are still many monsters and dead corpses on the Huaying itself, which is enough to shock the old men and women in the research institute.
Although there are various political reasons that hinder the investigation and it is impossible to completely prevent the infiltration of the information, the situation of those victims is still transmitted first-hand.
If we had left it alone, the deaths of those men might have been attributed entirely to being attacked by wolves on the grasslands. But now that there is a discovery on the Huaying, the people above are not stupid, they are all human spirits, and they will naturally think of them immediately.
What's more, even if there is no Huaying, so many people die at once, but with more than 20,000 horses and cattle and other big animals, what wolf pack can be so powerful?
Even if you say this, the people can't believe it.
Once the boss became suspicious, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he simply asked Zhao Zheng to bring someone over to investigate.
In fact, this is also the meaning of the hope that they can protect those experts by the way, after all, Zhao Zheng and the dozens of soldiers he brought over before are the only people who have experience in close contact with these monsters.
And Zhao Zheng immediately thought of Hao Dong, combined with the clues he recently found from the information on the Huaying, so he immediately recommended the queen's expedition.
"Speaking of clues," Zhao Zheng rubbed his temples again, only to feel a pain in his head, "Ergou probably didn't tell you, right?" Hao Dong. ”
Suddenly being named, Hao Dong was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "What did you say?" ”
Zhao Zheng's face was really like this, but he didn't bother to pursue it, and spoke directly:
"Because I have the NSA database there, some of the information may seem fine to you, but I can find a little bit of the key to it. There used to be a field hospital in this area where the accident occurred, which is close to the St. Paul you investigated earlier. ”
Hao Dong's eyes widened all of a sudden, and Ergou was also surprised, because when Zhao Zheng told him before, he only said that the condition of those guys who died unexpectedly looked like they were left behind after being attacked by the kind of monster on the Huaying, and he didn't say anything else.
Ergou's temperament just couldn't hold back his words, and he immediately exclaimed: "Isn't that a grazing area?" There's still a lot of no man's land, right? Where to get a hospital? ”
Zhao Zheng nodded: "That's right." So no one knows exactly how long the hospital existed, but it was only when an explosion occurred there, which is said to have affected the entire five-kilometer radius, that it attracted the attention of the local government. Later, someone was sent to investigate, and there will be a file in the National Security Bureau. ”
It's just that when the investigation was carried out, the building was already empty.
The cause of the explosion was the direct detonation of a large amount of explosives buried under the ground of the improvised building, which was so polluted that the land and water were so polluted that no grazing activities could be carried out for at least five years.
Although there is no one there in normal times, but no one has gone and no one can go there is a completely different concept, and the local government is very angry about this, and once made a great effort to investigate, and it is bound to find out the culprit and compensate.
It's just that no matter how much I checked at the time, there was no result, and in the end, it suddenly disappeared, leaving only a few clues in the national archives.
Zhao Zheng subconsciously bent his fingers and knocked on the table, his brows furrowed very tightly:
"Not much information has survived, and I now suspect that the purpose of the explosives was to destroy the underground structure of the time, making it impossible to detect that there was once an underground research room or something like that. And it was less than thirty kilometers away from the site of this accident, and for that kind of monster, it was basically a matter of lifting legs. ”
