Chapter 35: Found It! (Ask for recommended tickets and commuter passes)

On this day, Lu Ming finally had the strength to take a good look at himself.

He took a careful shower, shaved his beard, and changed into clean and tidy clothes.

In the past, he was always able to do what he could, and he was never willing to waste his energy in these inconsequential places.

Because today, for the first time in months since his "death", he was allowed to leave the field hospital.

He could finally get out of the cage that had imprisoned him for so long.

In front of an off-road vehicle, Lu Ming didn't bring any luggage and sat straight in the car. Next to him was Zhang Dingshan, He Wei was in charge of driving, and Huang Weimin was in the co-pilot.

Lu Qingliang did not get into the car. At this moment, with a little wry smile on his face, he was looking at these people.

He would not follow a few people to the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain to find the place of sacrifice of the mountain gods recorded in the ancient books. He'll always be here in the field hospital.

It is not easy to apply to the higher authorities not to terminate the investigation into the "X Organization kidnapping case" for the time being, but to continue it. In order to achieve this goal, one of the conditions is to appease the civilians who participated in the "sociological experiment", so that they can continue to settle down and stay here and cooperate with the official action.

For ordinary people who have been here for a long time, the most urgent wish is to end this Rausch experiment as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible. It is very difficult to keep them comfortable cooperating. But it has to be done.

This task fell to Lu Qingliang.

"I'll leave it to you, Qingliang."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Lu Qingliang made a package ticket, but even Lu Ming could see the heaviness in his heart.

After a short farewell, the buggy roared and began to make its way out. Along the way, looking at all kinds of buildings, looking at the people coming and going, and looking at one after another heavily guarded checkpoints, although it was the first time to leave in months, Lu Ming also did not have the slightest excitement in his heart.

What the outcome will be and what the outcome will be is not yet known.

Whether he can lure the mountain god out, what kind of existence the mountain god is, how much power it has, how it will appear, and whether he can kill or capture it, everything is unknown.

First the car, then the train, then the plane, then the train, the car, and several people finally entered the Taihang Mountains.

Back in his hometown, Huang Weimin couldn't hide his excitement. But after Zhang Dingshan made it clear that the trip must be kept secret, Huang Weimin must follow the whole process, and he cannot reveal any whereabouts and news to the outside world, let alone let him go home to reunite with his wife and children, those excitement disappeared.

The car made its way to an equally heavily guarded barracks. A helicopter took off, carrying several people, and flew deeper into the mountains.

Sitting on the helicopter, looking at the ground under his feet through the window, looking at the rolling mountains, looking at the lush vegetation, and looking at the wild animals that occasionally appeared, Lu Ming's expression was calm, but his thoughts seemed to have returned to that era hundreds of years ago, recalling one strange story after another that happened in that era.

This is already a deep mountain in the absolute sense of the word. There is no fixed human settlement, but a world of wildlife.

Soon after the helicopter flew, there were human tracks at the next point.

In a relatively gentle place, Lu Ming saw one tent after another, saw all kinds of instruments and equipment, such as communication instruments, drones, field kitchens, etc., and also saw many people.

These are the relevant personnel who have been mobilized to cooperate with the Planetary Security Agency's Operations Team 2 to carry out the search mission.

The helicopter fell, and under the leadership of Zhang Dingshan, the four of them walked straight to the largest tent in the middle.

Obviously, this tent is the command center of this search mission.

Then, one person reported to Zhang Dingshan: "The preliminary preparations, including route formulation, communication and commissioning, detailed terrain mapping, regional division, team division, logistics and other aspects have been completed.

The total area of the search area to be carried out is about 7.6 square kilometres, with 10.2 square kilometres on the periphery of the second-level search area and 15.7 square kilometres on the periphery of the tertiary search zone.

At present, 260 search teams have been formed, each with its own search area. Each search team is equipped with four personnel as standard, carrying satellite communication devices, locators, first-aid kits, infrared night vision, tents, light weapons, drones and other equipment.

In addition to the main command center where we are now, 12 secondary command and supply centres have been temporarily erected in the rest of the area. Search teams performing search missions can select the nearest supply center for replenishment.

In addition, we are equipped with an air search and emergency response team, a UAV swarm control center, etc., and can temporarily call on the observation resources of a certain satellite. ”

Zhang Dingshan nodded and gave the order.

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

A total of 260 search teams, composed of more than 1,000 trained mountain operations professionals, immediately set off under Zhang Dingshan's orders, and each of them marched to their respective areas of responsibility according to the demarcated routes. And all of this immediately appeared on the big screen in the general command center.

There are 260 red dots scattered throughout the area.

Command and dispatch personnel pay close attention to the traces of each search team in real time, receive information from the front line at all times, and give feedback. If necessary, orders from the command center will also reach each front-line search team at once.

Everything is in order, and there is no confusion at all.

Zhang Dingshan stayed in the general command center, and He Wei, Lu Ming, and Huang Weimin also participated in the search.

They don't have to do a specific search, they don't have to be responsible for a specific area. What they need to do is to combine the information recorded in the ancient books, as well as the conclusions drawn from their own subsequent research, and corroborate each other with the actual topography and landforms in this area, so as to find as much valuable information as possible and provide assistance for this search operation as a whole.

This task is mainly based on Huang Weimin, supplemented by Lu Ming, who also read a large number of ancient books and has mastered a large number of historical materials. He Wei led the four security personnel assigned by the command center to provide security for these two people.

Changing into clothes suitable for mountain operations, bringing a large amount of food, water, equipment and other supplies, this team also left the command center and entered the vast deep mountains.

The mountains are lush with lush vegetation, fresh air and beautiful scenery. But all this did not attract the slightest attention from Lu Ming.

His eyes are always paying attention to the surrounding terrain, paying attention to the changes in the mountains as far as he can see, and even the grass and trees are all in his sight.

The growth of plants and trees can reveal changes in the climate, and there may be clues to this.

The group walked in a hurry, walking for several hours before stopping at a mountain stream.

The stream is murmuring, knee-deep, and the bottom of the stream is clear. Unknown fish can sometimes be seen swimming in it, and birds can also fly by.

Wildlife is not absent either. In the distance, Lu Ming saw a group of wild boars leisurely drinking water by the stream. This caused some nervousness among He Wei and the others, and they even took out their weapons. But the wild boars did not take this group of people seriously, drank the water and left on their own.

In addition to this, there are some small beasts such as foxes and weasels.

Here, the group took out the self-heating rice, and when it was ready, they filled their stomachs with the cool mountain breeze, listening to the sound of the stream flowing, and looking at the beautiful scenery that could be seen everywhere.

In the afternoon, the search continued. In the evening, when it was dark, the group did not return to the nearest supply point, but set up a tent directly in a higher place, took out the sleeping bag, and rested for the night.

The night in the mountains was almost pure black, and there was no light except for the stars in the sky and a campfire nearby, nor the honking and clamor of cars that always haunted the city.

So quiet, so quiet, Lu Ming couldn't sleep. He got out of his sleeping bag and made his way to the campfire.

There, He Wei and a security guard were on duty at night.

"Can't sleep?"

Lu Ming nodded.

Silence ensued.

Under the darkness, the figure of the distant mountain almost disappeared from view, leaving only a vague shadow. Lu Ming looked at those shadows attentively, and in a trance, he seemed to see the figure of the strange mountain god with a big head, a small body, and thick hair, and seemed to see an ancient person carrying another person, trekking the mountain road.

I don't know how long I watched it, Lu Ming said, "I'm going to sleep", returned to the tent, and got into the sleeping bag.

The next morning, the morning sun rose, spreading endless light over the land.

It's another good day.

After a short period of repair, the group cleaned up and started today's trip again.

Time passed quietly under such circumstances. During this period of time, with the continuous search of Lu Ming and the others, the topographic information that only existed on the records of ancient books before was gradually confirmed by reality, so that it was more profoundly and clearly presented in Lu Ming's mind.

He vaguely felt that it was no longer far away from finally finding the place where the mountain god was worshipped.

But the development of things once again exceeded Lu Ming's expectations, and also exceeded everyone's expectations.

Before Lu Ming could find more clues from the ancient books, a message spread to his team.

There was even a hint of surprise in Zhang Dingshan's voice.

"Lu Ming, He Wei, come back, the place where the mountain god is sacrificed...... We found it. ”

So smooth?

Lu Ming, who was already mentally prepared to face difficulties and obstacles, was full of surprise at the moment. But in any case, it's a good thing, a great thing.

The group hurried back to the command center.
