Chapter V, Section 9
As soon as I heard him talk about barracks and hauntings, I was shocked, and immediately thought of my mission, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
"Where is the location of the barracks you are talking about?"
"South of the city. An armored composite battalion is stationed there. Since the day before yesterday, there have been a series of missing soldiers in the barracks, starting with a sentry standing guard at night, and their battalion commander organized people to search for them, but found nothing. Since then, soldiers have been missing in the barracks, and there are eleven by now. They organized their own investigation team and sent people to search the base and nearby mountains, but they found nothing. In the news they reported, they also mentioned a strange incident, saying that the base surveillance captured a very strange picture, which may be a paranormal phenomenon. You know that's what we're in charge of, so the leader sent me to investigate. ”
Now it can be confirmed that what he said is the same thing as the task I am dealing with. This is good, before I could say anything, someone rushed up to help.
After hearing this, I was overjoyed, but I pretended to be embarrassed and said, "This thing is not easy to do." The place in the barracks has many secrets and rules. Even if you go, it's still in the way, and you can't open it. ”
"You can rest assured of this, I have the right to make decisions, and I am the biggest official on the scene. Absolutely no one will affect you. ”
"That's right. Then I'll reluctantly help you. But I'm talking about the ugly things before. When I get there, everyone must listen to my arrangements, including you, and you must not have any questions about my arrangements, or I will leave at any time. ”
Xia Liming held my hand excitedly, nodded like a chicken and said, "No problem, I will definitely listen to your arrangement on the spot." ”
In the past, I would have seized this opportunity to open my mouth and knock hard, but this time the situation was slightly different. On the surface, he begged me to do something, but in fact he was helping me, and without him taking me, just making a plan to infiltrate the barracks would be enough for me to have a headache.
There is very little feedback on the spot, and he is not very clear about the more detailed information, he only knows the general experience, and the rest can only be understood when he arrives at the place.
Liu Mang drove the car fast and sped towards the highway south of the city.
I am no stranger to this road, and I walked through it last time when I was looking for Wang Jilin's body. This time we're on the same path, but further.
After walking along this road for more than an hour, a fork in the road appeared in front of me, and a large iron sign stood on the crossing, which read: Military Administration Zone, it is strictly forbidden to enter!
The average car owner will consciously turn to the left side of the road when driving here, of course, there will occasionally be some idle people who have nothing to drive around and turn to the right, but this kind of car is rare. So the stark contrast between these two roads, the left side is busy and lively, and the right side is bleak and deserted.
After turning onto the road on the right, the speed was much faster, and after driving forward for a few minutes, a sentry box appeared on the road, and an automatic barrier was across the road, presumably to stop those who were loitering back.
To my surprise, there were six soldiers guarding the checkpoint, including a junior officer. They were heavily armed, their expressions grim, and they felt that the atmosphere was very tense. Still far away, they lit up the parking sign at us.
The officer checked Xia Liming's documents before letting him go. Throughout the question-and-answer process, the soldiers were on high alert, never taking their fingers off the trigger, a rare sight in today's peacetime.
Less than a kilometer ahead of this checkpoint was the camp of the armored battalion.
The barracks were built on a flat hillside, surrounded by high concrete walls. There are many tall trees growing inside and outside the camp, which are lush and green, and in addition to greening, these trees also serve as a shield for satellite reconnaissance.
The road we drove on continued to the gate of the camp. At this time, the woods on both sides of the road were already full of army-green tents, and soldiers in camouflage uniforms were wandering between the tents, and some people were gathering in groups to talk about something, which looked chaotic.
Seeing a car driving in, those soldiers walked to the side of the road curiously to watch, and as the gathered people had many people on the side of the road, two long rows of long human walls were formed, and they could not see the end at a glance, and they looked quite spectacular.
In front of a large tent in front of the barracks gates, we stopped our car. A young officer was already waiting there, and as soon as the car stopped, he opened the door for us.
The officer was not very tall, not very strong, and wore a pair of extremely Sven glasses, which he knew at a glance that he was doing civilian work.
"But I have come to look forward to you. Our battalion commander has asked several times. Come with me. ”
It seems that the situation here is so urgent that the officer does not even save a polite word.
We followed him into the big tent, and as soon as we lifted the curtains, we saw a room full of officers, a dignified old man with gray hair, standing at the front, roaring angrily at them.
"Keep your eyes open and see, what is the chaos outside? Is the usual training in vain? The first company is about to change guards, but the other companies can't recruit all the people. Second Company Commander, can you explain to me, what will you take to take over the defense in a while?"
A tall man in the crowd stood up suddenly, his face flushed, but his waist was still straight.
"Report to the battalion commander, this move was too sudden, there was no time for unified planning in advance, and the soldiers only received an order to evacuate outside the camp before they came out, but they did not inform the assembly point, so it was so chaotic. I request that the death squad be brought to seize the broadcast studio and announce the correct assembly point, and I hope that it will be approved. ”
"Not really. No one is allowed to go deep into the camp, this is a death order. You go back to me now, organize the existing personnel to shout along the way, gather you people at the gate, and I will let the other companies make room for you. Remember, after thirty minutes, you will have to change the guard, and if you can't gather the team on time to take over, I'll send you to raise pigs. Do you hear that?"
"Yes, guaranteed to get the job done. ”
"The rest of the company should not be idle, and they all shouted to me on the road, telling all the soldiers to stop on the spot and not to move. After the second company was assembled, the other companies followed suit in turn, first loading the third company, then the intelligence company, and finally the combat service company. Assemble the personnel in place for me in two hours, do you understand?"
Everyone stood up in unison and replied, "Understood!"
After the meeting, the company commanders hurriedly left their tents and ran to their respective posts. The majestic old battalion commander had time to greet us.
Walking up to us, the bespectacled civilian officer introduced us: "This is our battalion commander." ”
After Commander Hou glanced at us, he stretched out his hand and shook Xia Liming and said, "Hello, I'm Hou Lei, the commander of the 767 Armored Composite Battalion." ”
Xia Liming replied: "Hello, Camp Commander Hou. I am an inspector of the Department of Special Disaster Prevention and Control, Xia Liming. The road was a little jammed and late. How's it going? I see a lot of soldiers outside, what's going on?"
"There's no way, I don't dare to treat people in the barracks, and if you're not careful, someone will go missing. Since the report, we have six more people missing, and now there are a total of 17 people whose fate is unknown. If the soldiers stayed any longer, panic spread, and there was likely to be chaos, so I evacuated everyone. Only a company of guards remained in the camp to guard the armory. ”
"Six more missing? Didn't the report say that you gathered people, and did there still be people missing after the concentration?"
"It's useless. We turned on all the camp headlights, set up the sentry posts in groups of six, and the patrols in groups of twelve. But people are still missing. (To be continued.) )
