Kassel Academy, 2nd floor of the library, central control room.

Schneider stood below the projection of the Great Earth, pausing and pondering, his iron-gray eyes reflected countless pulsating red dots on the azure 3D projection.

Behind him, countless people came and went, and the entire control room was divided in an efficient and orderly manner, and the eyes of the commissioners sitting in front of the screen of Unicom Norma's sub-console were moving rapidly.

All kinds of confidential information are circulated, encrypted, and blocked, and countless mind maps are established, uploaded, and reviewed in Norma's information base.

"Minister, the Commissioner of the London Branch has requested authorization to approach the British Crown, and this operation requires the approval of the highest authorities." A female commissioner in front of the sub-console looked up at Schneider.

"The task of recovering that alchemical object from the British Museum?" Schneider didn't raise his head, and said expressionlessly, "Reject the application and send the news to the Chinese orthodoxy...... Don't ask me again next time this kind of thing, how many artifacts are in that museum that are British? ”

"Minister, local armed groups in Syria want us to exchange a batch of arms from the source of the write-off in exchange for ancient coffins in their hands."

"How much?" Schneider picked up the coffee cup in his hand, but the drink in the cup was not coffee, but a nutrient solution prescribed by the doctor.

In one bite, it tastes like slug's mucus, bitter and disgusting at the same time, but Schneider has long been used to it.

"Debatable, the leaders of the armed groups would like to be interviewed by representatives from our Damascus sub-base......"

"Fulfill their wishes, but go to their main base." Schneider paused slightly and said, "Felvio Bass will return to China tomorrow, let him stop by the way, what to do shouldn't be taught by me, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Minister, here's a document that you need to sign......"

"Minister, the commissioner of the branch in Austria is in a bit of trouble, the local religious terrorist organization is making trouble, and needs the tactical support of a full squad......"

"Minister's ......"

One report after another, big or small, was sent to Schneider, and he handled these issues with great care, and with each report delivered to him, he was able to make the most correct judgment in tens of seconds.

The commissioners of the Kassel Academy are active almost all over the world.

Go up to the ancient tomb to explore the ruins of the suspected tomb of the dragon king, and go down to the downtown area to draw a gun to hunt down dangerous hybrids, economic activities, criminal activities, archaeological activities...... The Kassel Academy can be found in any field.

And decades of experience have made Schneider quite comfortable in dealing with these things.

It has become his instinct to kick the ball, what to delay decision-making, and what to decide.

"Minister, the exploration team of Shennongjia has set off, led by Karins Adolphus of the branch and one of the orthodox ones, and you need to pass the review and sign." Said a male commissioner wearing thick lenses.

This time, instead of getting an answer in seconds like before, Schneider, who had been immersed in flipping through the papers, raised his head.

First glanced at the male commissioner who had just spoken, and then at the beating red dot on the projection in front of him.

China, HUB Province, western border, spanning 1 10°56′ east longitude and 31°75′ north latitude.

Shennongjia, local time, 21:39.

“……”

After about a few tens of seconds of hesitation, Schneider slowly spoke: "Let the exploration team not go deeper, stay on the periphery and wait for support." ”

His words made some people in the central control room subconsciously raise their heads, and subtle surprised expressions appeared on their faces.

The configuration of this squad was arranged by Schneider, and with his personality, it should not change overnight.

Unless someone is important enough to break the principles he has always adhered to.

………………

Shennongjia is located in the western border of HUB Province, bordering Baokang County of HUB Province in the east, Wushan County of CQ City in the west, Xingshan and Badong in the south and the Three Gorges, and Fang County, Zhushan and Wudang in the north.

According to legend, in ancient times, Shennong led the crowd to find a high mountain in order to taste all the herbs, but when he saw the steep mountains and forests here, he decided that there must be a secret hidden medicine, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

First of all, the people of the church "set up wood for the house, in order to avoid danger", and then the people "set up wood for the ladder to help climb", collected 400 kinds of medicines, and wrote the "Shennong Materia Medica", in order to return to the emperor, only to "set up wood as an altar, across the crane to fly to the sky" and go.

Later generations remembered the kindness of the ancestors, and called this high mountain "Shennongjia".

In the eyes of most people, "Shennongjia" is also known as the "forbidden area", because the total area of Shennongjia has reached 3,253 square kilometers, of which more than 85% is covered by forests.

The large area covered by the primeval forest, coupled with the complex terrain in it, is enough to resist most means of exploration, humans, drones and even satellites, so it has a strong mystery.

For example, since the 50s of the 20th century, there has been news of wild people in Shennongjia.

There are more and more teams that come to Shennongjia to explore the wild man, but they only find some hair and related clues, as if no one has ever seen the real "wild man".

However, for some people, the exploration of Shennongjia has been ongoing, and the "legend" in the eyes of ordinary people is not unprovoked.

Because of the special natural ecology and geographical environment of Shennongjia, there are many small tribes in this primeval forest that have been in a primitive closed state for a long time and isolated from the world.

The tribe located in the outermost part of this forest and in the most frequent contact with the outside world is the tribe called the "Guyue tribe".

This night, Shennongjia, heavy rain.

The jet-black cloud python coiled in the sky like a black cloud, and after the last thunderstorm exploded, thousands of tons of water fell overwhelmingly.

Strong winds from far to near are making waves in the forest, and hundred-year-old trees stand there and are blown loudly.

The totemic banner with the white snake loomed in the rain, and the wind stretched straight, and the old man who kept vigil locked the window and hid in his chair to drink hot soju.

The vigil is just a formality, and his job is more like a "forest ranger", whose main job is to patrol the mountains and forests, prevent fire, dig up, and hunt.

"However, in this weather, no one should come, right?" The old man muttered in a daze and closed his eyes.

No one would risk their lives to enter this forbidden area in this kind of weather, and the lonely old man of the night watch naturally did not have to stay awake all night.

However, he did not notice that in the distant forest, the land that should have been covered with greenery, suddenly strangely grew red, pink, white and yellow wildflowers......

Eventually, it gradually turned into a sea of flowers.

The howling wind blows, undulating like waves, countless flower branches collide, making a sound like a sea tide, and the petals with faint fluorescence are flying.

This scene is a spectacle, like a dream country, but there is a single girl running in the sea of flowers, like a fairy in the night.

She liked the beauty, but her father said that they were leaving tomorrow to leave the place where she was born and raised, so even if it was raining, she couldn't help but sneak out to play.

But just as she looked into the distance, a figure wearing a long black trench coat, a half-decayed World Tree badge on his chest, and a white raincoat on the outside, gradually walked out of the rain curtain.

"Asa?" The man spoke a slightly awkward language, as if recognizing the girl and frowning slightly.

"Uncle Carlins, what are you doing here?"

The girl's cheerful footsteps stopped, and looked curiously at the uncle, who was regarded as a distinguished guest by the patriarch's grandfather, at the unknown instrument in his hand that resembled a scanner.

"Why did you sneak out again?" The man didn't answer his question, but asked with a tight frown.

Before he could finish speaking, a voice came over the intercom.

"Karins, what's going on with you?"

"This is Karins, a little girl from the Guyue tribe has broken in, I will drive her away, and the commissioner outside will take her out and let the others continue to strengthen the blockade."

Carlins' tone was a little serious, but he didn't blame the team members who were in charge of the blockade.

On the one hand, although there are many people in their exploration team this time, the terrain is too complicated, and the severe impact of bad weather makes it difficult to achieve a comprehensive blockade.

On the other hand, the girl in front of him was born and grew up in this forest, and even if they had some more advanced equipment, it was difficult to say that they were more skilled than the girl here.

But upon hearing Karlins's words, the girl suddenly pursed her lips, then turned and fled deeper.

"Asa!" Karins put down the walkie-talkie and shouted in the local language, "Go back to the tribe or you'll be eaten by terrible monsters!" ”

"Asa won't be eaten! Lord White Snake will protect Asa! ”

Hearing this, looking at the girl who had already run into the rain, Karins frowned and sent a message to the commissioner outside: "She has run deeper, you pay attention." ”

"Roger."

Putting aside his worries for a moment, Karins looked down at the instrument.

In 2005, the American Supervision Security Systems Company recently launched a new safety and life-saving system - life detector.

The instrument in the hands of Carlins is a life detector that was originally intended to be used in the Greenland program by the Equipment Department in combination with the world's most cutting-edge biochemical, dielectric, ultra-low frequency conduction and DNA technology modification.

Lightweight only about 1 kg, handheld design, easy to carry, simple to operate, able to pass through various obstacles such as steel plates, cement, composite materials, trees, etc., the detection distance can reach 500 meters in open space, and the detection distance of water surface can reach more than 1 kilometer.

Specially processed, suitable for all kinds of harsh weather conditions, simple maintenance and extremely low failure rate, with the help of a laptop computer and Norma, a strong artificial intelligence, can generate detected image and sound information, and detect the direction of the dielectric field of the weak heartbeat at the far end in a passive way.

Of course, since it is produced by the Ministry of Equipment, the function of explosion is naturally indispensable, and the yield of explosives is not small, which is more than enough to blow up Carlins to death.

Carlins carefully operated the instrument, looked at the slightly undulating lines like horizontal lines, and reported with a sigh of relief: "The A1 area has been checked, and there is no sign. ”

With that, he took out a piece of chewing gum and threw it into his mouth, the expression on his face looking a little bored.

Originally, with their orthodox style, there was no need to explore at all at risk.

Wait until tomorrow when all the tribes leave, just blast it with ground-penetrating missiles.

Although the number of the secondary and primary species together is only a few dozen, the three generations can still see these servant-level things once in a few years, and the three generations killed by their executive department have not two hands but one hand.

However, I don't know what agreement the top level of the secret party and the top level of orthodoxy have reached, and they actually ask them to catch the sleeping three generations alive!

Capture alive a pure-blooded dragon of three generations?

If you want to be captured alive, you have to rely on white-knuckle combat.

Isn't it looking for death if a mortal wants to fight for flesh with a pure-blooded dragon?

Even if it is a "servant", it is also a "servant" under the "king"!

This made Carlins, who was encountering a mission of this level for the first time, a little uneasy, but he also understood the value and significance of a living three-generation species.

"I hope the reinforcements called by Minister Schneider are more reliable." Carlins sighed deeply, and couldn't help but think of a certain "monster" in his hometown in China.

If Professor Jiang can come over, he should be able to capture three generations alive, right?

He hadn't been on a mission with the S-Class yet, but he had heard some from others.

"That pretending guy sent by orthodoxy is also equivalent to an S-level half-blood, and I don't know how it compares to Professor Jiang." Carlins thought to himself.

I hope that guy can really suppress the three generations, otherwise he can only hope for the so-called reinforcements.

"This is the A2 area, anomaly found! Anomalies found! ”

Just as Karins was thinking, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded over the intercom, breaking the dead silence of the forest on a rainy night.

Carlins subconsciously looked down at the waveform band of the instrument.

This is...... The sound of a heartbeat?

However, the waveform displayed was relatively stable, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and even gradually became excited.

The guy was still dormant and could be brought back intact without disturbing him.

But in the next moment, his face suddenly changed.

The waveform, which had been as gentle as a hill, suddenly became like a precipitous peak, and the sharpness at the top was like a sharp sword, piercing Karlins's terrified heart.

"This is the A2 area, and the target frequency and peak are abnormal! Repeat! The frequency and peak are abnormal, and the target is awakened and recruited! ”

Sure enough, the voice of another commissioner came over the intercom.

No, in addition to him, the commissioners in charge of the investigation work, whether it was the first to discover the A area, or the other B, C, and D areas, all saw the target frequency and peak of the anomaly in their instruments.

Click!

At this moment, a cold wind blew violently, and the sea of flowers swaying in the rain instantly drifted away, fluorescent flickering, with a bit of demonic beauty.

Karins pulled out the Desert Eagle from his waist and pointed it in the direction from which the small voice was coming from.

But when he looked into the rain, his face twitched, and he felt the cold hairs on his body stand on end.

“FUCK！ Lao Tzu, I hate snakes the most! ”

I saw that the pale golden snake pupils lit up, and the white snakes stared at him deadly, hissing and spitting out scarlet letters. (End of chapter)
