218 abandoned camps
Qi Qing and Mo Xun were separated from those two comrades here. The two comrades will rush to the shelter controlled by Ni Cong, and the two of them will follow Zhang Jiannan's direction according to the situation they had detected before.
According to intelligence, Zhang Jiannan and others had visited an abandoned camp three days earlier. Ni Cong said that the camp was previously controlled by a criminal organization outside the country, and it was abandoned after the extreme heat and natural disaster. After the establishment of the Vault, they sent a team to search for supplies, but the team was completely lost, and no one was killed or killed.
When Zhang Jiannan and the three of them passed by, Ni Cong's men asked them about the camp, and they said that there was nothing in the camp, and there were no bones or living people.
Satellite and drone aerial photography locked on the camp, comparing the photos from a few months ago to the current one, and the surface buildings remained unchanged, except for the more lush vegetation. Other detection equipment has revealed complex structures underneath the surface, perhaps with secrets hidden beneath the surface.
When Mo Xun and Qi Qing walked through the rainforest, they basically jumped between the branches, and they no longer had to fight against the lush plants on the ground. Moreover, scientists have confirmed that the selected person emits a certain pheromone that is different from that of ordinary people, and will have a certain deterrent effect, and those mutated insects or plants will automatically avoid such pheromones.
This theory may explain the courage of Zhang Jiannan and the two women who dared to cross the border from the primeval jungle, Zhang Jiannan and Ma Lian are both superpowers, and the two of them can still deal with those mutated animals and plants with Xue Yafang.
When he arrived at the abandoned camp, Qi Qing first took out the detection equipment from the space. This includes, but is not limited to, special items such as the Eye of Scouting, as well as regular drones.
[Reconnaissance Eye] is a small glass-like eyeball, which automatically reconnoiters within 3 kilometers around the user, flies to shoot sound and video data, and can play three-dimensional image data on the air screen after being recovered.
This thing does not need to be remotely controlled, nor is it limited by the network signal, and it is not easy to be detected by conventional monitoring equipment, so it is thrown out to see the situation first, but you can't simply rely on the information it feeds.
Mo Xun said: "I'll go first to take a look, keep a certain distance between you and me." ”
This is the experience summed up after encountering the dense fog on the Q Flower last time, if one of the two of them was closer to the boundary of the dense fog at that time, maybe after the fog, the two of them could successfully escape with their speed and mobility far beyond ordinary people.
Right now, they didn't plan to go deep into the camp together.
Mo Xun went to check the underground part, while Qi Qing searched the buildings on the ground while staying vigilant. From what the two have learned so far, there are no living people in the vicinity of the camp.
Whether it's safe under the ground or not is something that needs to be looked at further.
After Mo Xun disappeared into the underground entrance, the [Reconnaissance Eye] had already finished looking at the facilities on the ground, forming a complete set of image materials.
While Qi Qing sent the information, he also checked the buildings on the ground according to the information. There are only a few single-storey buildings here, mainly bamboo and wood structures, which look similar to the common bamboo buildings in the southwest region, and the aerial photography shows that this camp is much smaller than the ordinary village, and the actual view is also the case, and the plants grow wildly after being abandoned, and the traces of human habitation are basically swallowed up.
Mo Xun gave feedback on the new news. He first confirmed that there were no living people or obviously dangerous creatures hidden under the ground, and then began to communicate: "This is more like a cave laboratory built by criminals on the edge of the Jingui base, but it has been abandoned for a longer time, and all the research materials have been destroyed. There were no bones or debris or anything like that, except for ashes. ”
"Are there any signs of research on mutant insects or something?" Qi Qing asked more.
This reminded Mo Xun that he was only looking for electronic devices and other materials before, and hurriedly looked at the laboratory, which was basically empty. But after looking closer, he found another clue: "There are some solid materials here, perhaps as some kind of experimental materials, and one of them is a type of label for various aviation coatings, but the contents are missing." ”
"I suspect that the insects that were attached to our helicopter are artificially cultivated mutated creatures interested in our aircraft. Oops! Qi Qing suddenly said, "I want to rush back to our helicopter to see, before it was just a simple camouflage and covering, and there was no all-round sealing, in case there is more than one mutant bug, and it is still nearby, the helicopter is a breeding ground for them sooner or later." ”
At this time, the drone released by Qi Qing also lost contact, which seemed to support her speculation.
Mo Xun ran out of the basement, and the two of them first went to check the location of the lost drone, where there was indeed a small strange black fog gathered in the air. They seem to feel the approach of other flesh creatures, and they become agitated.
Qi Qing and Mo Xun hurriedly changed into airtight biochemical suits. Fortunately, the speed of the two of them was fast enough, and those insects smelled the smell and flew closer, only to find that the tempting smell had disappeared, and could only condense into a black mist again, and they wanted to fly away into the distance. In that direction, it seemed to be the river beach where they were hiding their helicopters.
Qi Qing hurriedly caught up with the black mist, and the flames erupted, burning the black mist into ashes, which could be regarded as a temporary relief. Of course, they couldn't find the drone before. Looking at the last image transmitted by the drone in the mobile phone, it was a small black bug that pounced on the camera.
What kind of bug is this?
One can swallow an airplane and evolve into such a terrifying black fog, not only "eating" planes, but also interested in human flesh and blood? The pheromones of the chosen ones seem to be weakened when they turn into a black mist.
This is definitely not a purely natural mutation of a creature!
"I suggest you don't have to look at the helicopter." Mo Xun said, "This place should be a so-called private research institute funded by DK. According to the situation of the facilities here, they were evacuated during the extreme cold and natural disaster. The research direction of the underground laboratory is preliminarily judged to be the content of intervention and transformation of insects, which have a short growth cycle.
I remember that the cave I found at the Jingui base was built with more advanced materials than here, and perhaps some of the research results here were eventually transferred there, so that there were contaminants that could mutate people. ”
Although agreeing with Mo Xun's words, Qi Qing still did not give up, and searched the river beach where they hid the helicopter from the corresponding equipment, where there should have been a positioning signal sent out steadily, but at this time, this signal source had completely disappeared.
"You're right, there's more than one bug, and the helicopter has lost contact." Qi Qing sighed in frustration.
The two comrades who had previously separated also sent inquiries, and their equipment also showed that the helicopter was missing. checked with Qi Qing's side, and confirmed that it was not an equipment problem, probably because the plane had really been "eaten".
The black mist that ate inorganic matter may have spread to other places, beginning to infringe on flesh and blood.
Maybe earlier, the people sent by Ni Cong also "disappeared" like this, so that they couldn't even find their bones. I hope that the life of the black mist formed by that mutant insect is relatively short, otherwise the shelter on Ni Cong's side will suffer.
It's the end of the month again, and readers who still have monthly passes, don't forget to vote.
