Chapter 20 Investigation
In the video, you can see that dozens of catties of iron manhole covers, with a loud bang, like a cannon to the sky, flew straight up.
The height instantly surpassed the houses on both sides of the street, and flew to the height of a ten-story building, before the momentum was exhausted, and it fell down, smashing a large crater on the hard concrete pavement of the street.
"This ...... Is it someone who put explosives in the sewers? The young officer muttered in a low voice.
It was the only explanation he could think of.
Xiao Hua watched this video silently, then walked to a manhole cover, squatted down and took a look.
There is no trace of being bombed, but there is a rather obvious dent on the manhole cover.
"It's not explosives, it's being directly pushed up by some kind of mutated creature." When he came to this conclusion, Xiao Hua only felt that his throat was a little dry.
The young officer opened his mouth and finally said with difficulty: "How is this possible! Then it takes at least a ton of impact force to do this! ”
"That's at least the top 50 mutant creatures on the danger list! How could they be so big that they could have come to our city quietly? ”
Xiao Hua's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, "I don't know, so I told the brothers of the City Guard and asked them to go to the sewers to investigate." Remember to bring heavy firearms. ”
"Yes, sir." The young policeman hurried away.
It didn't take long for the City Guards to rush towards here.
"Deputy Director Xiao Hua, is the information you gave accurate?" A middle-aged man at the head asked in a deep voice.
His name was Li Yongming, and he was one of the two captains who came to support.
"Here's the video, Captain Li, take a look." Xiao Hua didn't say anything, directly handed over the instrument in his hand, and clicked on the video.
In just a moment, Li Yongming's expression became more solemn than ever.
"This is at least a mutant creature with a danger level of at least a level 3, and it can come to the city quietly, proving that the other party also has a terrifying latent ability."
Li Yongming took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said heavily: "I'm afraid we're in big trouble." ”
Such a terrifying mutated creature is hidden in the city, and if it is not cleared in time, it will be like a time bomb, and no one knows when it will be detonated.
When the time comes, it may not be so lucky, and it will only cause a riot in a few streets.
"I'll personally lead the team down to take a look." In the end, Li Yongming made a decision.
"Captain Li, this is too dangerous, is there something wrong with you going down in person?" Xiao Hua asked in surprise.
"Who goes down is not dangerous? As a captain, I should be the first to take the lead. Li Yongming waved his hand.
Then he looked at a member next to him and said, "Xiao Liu, you send a message to the headquarters and send me two armed helicopters, which need to be equipped with ground-penetrating bombs." ”
"It's the captain." The member of the City Guard hurriedly said.
Soon Li Yongming led two elite teams to enter the sewer along an open manhole cover.
"It's so quiet." As soon as Li Yongming entered the sewer, he noticed that something was wrong.
It wasn't that he hadn't been into the sewers of the city before, and it could be said that it was the territory of rats, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, these mutated creatures.
Basically, there are such creatures everywhere after coming in, and the probability of even direct combat is very high.
Now, although the sewers are the same as before, with sewage flowing and the stench is rampant, there is not a single creature to be seen.
"Be careful, keep the defensive formation moving forward." Li Yongming turned on the portable lighting equipment on his body, held the gun, and walked forward.
The rest of the squad hurriedly followed.
However, the more they walked, the more surprised they became, because they couldn't see even a single mutant creature along the way.
"Captain, is it because of the residual breath?" One of the members asked in a whisper.
"Hmmm! All animals are territorial, and after they mutated, this aspect has not changed, and it has even become more terrifying. ”
"According to our research, some powerful creatures, they can even directly exud deterrence and make the rest of the mutated creatures surrender." Li Yongming explained as he walked forward.
Soon, he stopped and felt his way to the wall.
The cement slab here has obvious traces of scratching.
"Ordinary creatures have scratches, and most of what is left behind are scratches, but how can it be so smooth here." He gently stroked the cement slab, as if it had been re-polished.
It's a pity that no one can solve this doubt for him, so he can only cautiously continue to lead the team forward.
It didn't take long for him to reach the first place he was looking for.
Since the official knew about the threat of mutant rats, how could they not prepare at all.
As early as the previous times, in the process of "eliminating the four evils", they installed monitoring equipment in some hidden places in the sewer.
"Captain, the barbed wire fence has been bitten open, and the monitoring equipment inside has been damaged." A technician quickly squatted down to inspect it, and then said with some frustration.
"Is the memory card corrupted?" Li Yongming asked.
"There is no damage, but the problem is that this monitoring device has stopped working for a long time, and the most recent records can be found are all from a month ago." The team member said helplessly.
"It's okay, let's go to the next location, there's a camouflage recorder there, it shouldn't have been damaged." Li Yongming glanced at the map on his mobile phone and said.
It was a sewer map with all the equipment installed.
The team moved on, encountering no danger, or rather peacefully, and came to the place where the recorder was hidden.
This hidden recorder is similar to an ordinary cement slab, directly embedded in the wall, the only difference is that the three inconspicuous pinhole cameras are just that.
Even the pinhole camera is camouflaged in color, and if you don't look closely, you won't notice it at all.
As expected, there was no damage to the recorder.
Li Yongming had a smile on his face, and immediately asked the technician in the team to open the device connection device.
But as he got closer, the smile on his face froze.
Because of the position of the three pinhole cameras, without exception, they are covered with unknown black adhesives, which completely obscure the cameras.
With one last glimmer of hope in his heart, he asked the technician to connect to the recorder and pull up the surveillance video from his mobile phone.
But unsurprisingly, it was pitch black.
"Let's go, let's go to the next place." He took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said in a deep voice.
Next, they went to five more places where the monitoring equipment was installed, and without exception, all of them were destroyed.
It wasn't until I came to the next street that I found a surveillance device that had not been damaged and the camera was not blocked.
"Export the video." Li Yongming said excitedly to the members who were operating.
