The sergeant placed a stump on the table and turned away, leaving it to the general and a group of scientists from various fields. In fact, scientists don't have to look at it, even a medical school intern who has just graduated can recognize it, this is a dried corpse that has been strictly treated and embalmed.

"This dried corpse wasn't formed by a single treatment," a man with glasses poked the calf with his rubber-gloved fingers, "where did they get this?" his name was Malcom, and he was a biological expert on this scientific expedition, and he knew a little more about human tissue.

"Go and call the soldier. The general said to the adjutant beside him. A moment later, Wilson was called back from the entrance to the cavern, and he was about to return to join the search party. "How did you get this dried corpse?" the general asked.

"It's ...... Dry corpse?" Wilson stammered a little for the first time speaking to a general-level man, "this...... This is...... Report to the general, this is what we shot from the enemy, who was reconnoitring the movements of our troops at that time. ”

"Impossible!" exclaimed the biologist named Malcom, "it's the result of thousands of treatments that have lasted nearly a hundred years, you look at the texture of the skin, you look at the color of the muscles, you look at the ......."

"Sir," said Wilson, who was less nervous when he saw that Malcom was not wearing a military uniform and that he had nothing to represent his class, "look at its shut-off. ”

"Broken mouth, what's so nice about that?" Malcolm picked up the severed limb and glanced at it casually.

"Sir, my soldier is right. The general glanced at the severed limb, "There are bullet marks on this cut. Is it? As he spoke, he glanced at Wilson. The general didn't know Wilson's name, he didn't need to know, let alone remember.

"Yes...... Yes, Your Excellency, I promise, just now, Jason of our squad knocked it off the enemy. ”

"It's like you're saying, 'I just got the blueberry cookies out of the oven and they're still steaming.'" Malcolm said with a look of disgust, "Looks like we're in trouble." What kind of person could put such a thing on himself? It had no blood, not even any liquid......" he said, leaning his head over and sniffing it carefully, "not even the stench of a corpse, but a sour smell, and ...... You're right, soldier, it still smells of gunpowder. ”

When the general heard this, he looked at the crowd thoughtfully, and said, "According to you, we have met people who do not hesitate to harm themselves in order to save themselves from being burdened by their limbs? Do they first turn their bodies into dry corpses, and then stage a farce of invulnerability?

Malcolm glanced at the general like a fool and said sharply, "Is this what you think? If a man's legs become like this, he can walk and even ride a horse, it is a medical miracle." I'm saying, this is definitely not a 'person'. ”

The general seemed to know that these so-called experts had strange tempers, and when he heard Malcom's words, he did not seem to be angry, but continued his words and said: "If a human-bodied, autonomous individual is not a human, then what should it be?

Malcolm shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's see." Maybe we'll have to go in and have a look to find out what it is. After a moment's notice, he said, "Your Excellency, when will it be safe enough to accommodate a dozen of us? Isn't the country supporting you and your people tens of billions of dollars a year?"

The general's face suddenly looked bad, and he scolded in his heart: "Are we just here to protect you?" But you can't say that, after all, Malcolm is also a relatively famous public figure, if he leaves him with any handle, he is afraid that his reputation will be hindered, and it will be difficult to protect the evening, so he adjusted his mood a little, and said: "Mr. Malcolm, my people are already ......." Speaking of which, he was stuck, and the front line had lost radio contact, he knew it, but because of the loss of contact, he could not confirm the current advance, so he looked up and asked Wilson, "Where have you been?"

Wilson was listening to the two arguing when he suddenly saw the general asking a question, and immediately replied: "We have established a position at the foot of the mountain, Your Excellency General." After a pause, he added, "Teams C and F have also arrived, and it is safe for the time being 15 kilometers ahead of the cave." The general's adjutant heard Wilson's words and clicked a few times on a virtual electronic sand table, and a thin red line blocked the road at the foot of the mountain.

"Then what are you waiting for?!" Malcolm whispered in dissatisfaction, "Don't you know that time is money, and you'll have to pay an extra $2,000 for every hour I wait!" He turned to a man in a suit behind him and asked, "Mr. Jean, let's go?"

GIN was a project manager assigned by a Canadian consortium to provide financial and human support for the scientific investigation. Although the operation was carried out by the military, because the phenomenon was too mysterious, the military turned directly to private consortiums for help, not because of the money, but because of this group of outstanding scientists. These scientists are not accountable to the military on the project, but directly to the consortium, and Jean is naturally their head. Seeing Malcolm asking for instructions from him, Jean nodded and said to the others, "Pack up your things, we'll leave in half an hour." ”

From the outside, the cave is just an approximate half-moon cave with a diameter of about 8 meters, and the car these scientists are sitting in is just enough to pass through, and if it is a little higher, it will get stuck. But as soon as he entered, Malcom was stunned. Although he had read the report before and knew that there was no other world in the cave, he didn't expect that just after a few dozen meters of the cave entrance, the inside would become wider and wider, and if he went two or three hundred meters further, he could not see the top of the cave when he looked up, but there was light shining down.

Jean poked her head out of the car window carefully, and she couldn't see anything in the sky. You can't see the blue sky, you can't see the white clouds, you can't see the sun, not even a single mosquito. He took out his phone and tried to connect to the GPS location, but there was no response.

"Save it, Mr. Jean. Malcolm sat in front and said to Jean, "This car has been driving the GPS positioning system, but it has not received a signal since entering the hole." Jean nodded and put her phone away.

After a while, the car drove up to a sign, stopped, and the driver turned around and said, "Mr. Qin, this sign says 'Radio Failure Place', do you think we should continue to move forward?"

Jean pulled the car door and jumped out of the car, looked at the sign, and took out his mobile phone to look at it, but the phone couldn't wake up at all, and there was no response to even turn it on. "Do you still have your phones?" Jean shouted back.

"No more. Malcolm pulled out his phone, which was also dark, "I can't open it at all." He looked at the others, who shook their heads as well. "It seems that the car can still be used. Malcolm glanced at the on-board computer in the cab again, "It's a little shaky, but it's okay, it doesn't make a difference if you don't look closely." As soon as he finished speaking, the on-board computer flashed and went black. Angry, he cursed loudly.

At this moment, a soldier of the Canadian National Guard came over, who was in charge of guarding the sentry, and said to Jean, "Sir, you are the scientists who have come to investigate the strange phenomenon here, right?"

Qin nodded, handed out the identification card, and said, "I'm Qin, the person in charge of this project." ”

The soldier took the card and swiped it on his handheld terminal, and with a tick, the man's message appeared on the screen. He returned the card to Jean and said, "Just now the command called and informed us to fully cooperate with you, Mr. Qin. ”

Jean nodded and asked, "How far is it from the car shutdown area?"

The soldier said, "If you drive straight ahead for about 2,000 meters, this civilian vehicle will turn off." Military vehicles can hold out for another 2~3 km. ”

Jean nodded, returned to the car and said to the driver: "Drive the car back 2000 meters, it's a bit weird here." Find a place where you can start the analysis device. ”

The driver answered and drove the car back. Strange to say, just about 1200 meters away from the brand, everyone's mobile phones in the car have reacted again. "Mr. Jean, my phone is turned on. Malcolm exclaimed, "What the hell!!"

Everyone set up the equipment they were responsible for, Malcolm watched the engineer engaged in information technology restart the on-board computer, connect everyone's equipment one by one, and said to the IT engineer mockingly: "It seems that your value is only worth these 2,000 meters, and if you go further, you will be a waste." ”

The IT engineer knew Malcom's personality and was not in a hurry with him, but just lightly sneered: "Your job is to make me still valuable after 2000 meters, otherwise, you are not much better than me." ”

Malcolm stared at the IT engineer for a long time, nodded and said, "I have to admit that although you make me unhappy, you are right. The IT engineer spread his hands and said yes.

"The magnetic inductance lines here ......"

"And here, here, and ...... Here, there are ......"

"Have you noticed ......?"

"It's an efficient conversion ......"

"Reason...... The important thing is the reason ......"

All the scientists were whispering to their assistants, trying to get to know the situation as soon as possible and then present their opinions in the group. Even Malcom, who had always been out of place, awkwardly learned the data from the instrument from his assistant, and no longer argued.

Jean is not involved in the discussion, he is the person in charge of the project, not a participant in the discussion, although he is not incapable of discussion, but he must maintain the attitude of an outsider, otherwise he is easily influenced by some people and loses the overall judgment ability.

What did the scientists find? Can Malcom solve the military's problems? Find out what happens next, and let's see how it breaks down next.
