Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 12: Heaven and Hell
After confirming that the danger had passed temporarily, everyone crossed the bridge one after another.
In order to ensure the safety of the two scholars, Wei Xingshan insisted on hitting the zipline and let them slide over.
Before and after, the river blocked everyone for nearly four hours, and it was already more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon when the large forces converged on the other side of the river.
Lin Shuo didn't go far, just waiting for them in the woods.
When we set off again, the starling bird on Lin Shuo's shoulder seemed to have some interest in the old professor He Zihong, and flew onto the old man's shoulders.
He Zihong was a little surprised. He looked at Xiao Ba on his shoulder and asked: "Ba Ye, what do you do?"
"Old man, I just heard you talk about fish. I think you know a lot." Xiao Ba asked while combing his feathers with his beak, "I heard you are a biologist?"
"Hehe." He Zihong smiled, "I think so."
"Oh. You biologists, why are you looking for that guy this time?" Xiao Ba continued to ask.
"Research." He Zihong said, "This creature is so special. Our International Society for Biological Research is very interested in it."
"I don't like to listen to what you said." Xiaoba's tone seemed to be a little unhappy, "I'm not special, Baye? Let me tell you the old man, my Bayezu is on this one, and Brother Shuo said It’s called the Phoenix Legacy, and it’s a mess. Otherwise, your research will give you thirty to fifty million dollars. How about cooperating with your research?"
"This..." He Zihong's face became stiff, and he glanced at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo walked in front without looking back.
He Zihong smiled again and said: "How ashamed of this, Ba Ye, you are usually so busy."
"It's okay." Xiao Bahao said dryly, "Isn't it just a matter of drawing some blood? Baja, I will make it up after a meal."
Anne walked up to He Zihong, with a dumbfounded expression on her face, and asked: "Ba Ye, what's the matter with you? Do you want to sell yourself?"
"Madam, go on the other side. When you sleep in Brother Shuo's bed and become the sister-in-law of the eighth master, let's take care of the eighth master's affairs." Myna bird made Anne speechless with a word. .
Everyone was happy, but none of them dared to say anything. This myna is not forgiving in its beak. Except for Lin Shuo, everyone dared to attack it.
He Zihong hesitated for a while, feeling that he couldn't be fooled, and finally said frankly, "Ba Ye, what do you think is most special about you?"
"I am smart. Which bird have you ever seen as smart as Baye?"
"Yes, smart." He Zihong sighed, "I've heard of Ba Ye's prestige. You are indeed the smartest bird I have ever seen, and the most human-like. But..."
"But what?" Xiao Ba asked.
This person-by-bird conversation has already attracted the attention of everyone in the industry at this time.
Everyone pricked their ears, wanting to hear what He Zihong, the biological authority, said.
After all, the existence of Xiaoba, a starling bird, is a strange thing in itself.
But He Zihong did not go on, but his student Yang Tuo said: "Your intelligence is amazing in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not worth money in our eyes. You are really like a person. But like People, on the contrary, are the least research-worthy feature in biology. Are there not enough people in this world? And, your cleverness must be the Lin family..."
"Stop Xiao Yang." He Zihong interrupted Yang Tuo's explanation, put on a smiling face, and said to Xiao Ba, "Master, you are a priceless treasure, but you already have a master, how can we go How about the sword grabbing love? How about this, you go and ask Mr. Lin if you want to?"
"Huh, the two nerds don't know the goods." Xiao Ba flew back to Lin Shuo's shoulder and said to Lin Shuo, "Brother Shuo, find out clearly, they are really not interested in me."
"Silly bird." Lin Shuo gave Xiaoba a white, "Did I ask you to inquire?"
"I want to give myself an estimate." Xiao Ba said.
"Your value, they don't understand."
"Oh."
……
The mountain road is rugged, and the group walked for more than three hours.
The sky has slowly dimmed, but the good news is that there is slowly starting to find a way here.
Since there is a mountain road, the mountain village is not far away.
Lin Shuo, who had gone over the last hill and bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, finally saw the village.
The strange sight in front of him stopped him who was in charge of opening the way.
The terrain is high, the view is good, and the village under the mountain is unobstructed.
The village is located in a valley between mountains, with a small river running through it, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The place is a bit off, but the layout is pretty good.
On the village road west of Xiaohe, many people can be seen walking around. Right now it happened to be the point for dinner, and the smoke was curling up in each household, creating a peaceful and peaceful scene.
On the east side of this small river, there is a scene of houses collapsing.
Those wooden houses seem to have been hit by a tornado, and there are broken wooden boards everywhere. The broken glass reflected the light in the setting sun, and there should be some scattered daily necessities.
This ten-meter-wide river is like the boundary between heaven and hell.
"This village is the one that was attacked by that strange creature according to Russian police intelligence." Anne walked to Lin Shuo, looked at the foot of the mountain, and said softly, "But it's weird."
"Yes." Wei Xingshan also came to the two of them. "Since the village east of Xiaohe has been attacked, the people in West Village should be gone."
"Who said no." Wang Yong said, "Why are you still living as usual? This heart is too big."
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." He Zihong said.
"Let’s go to the site first." Yang Tuo put down the big bag on his back, took out a small box from it, opened it with a click, and checked whether the tools inside were complete.
"Okay. But since there are still many villagers nearby, so many of us who are heavily armed will be easy to get rid of the grass, let's just do it." Wei Xingshan ordered, "Others camp on the spot, Wang Yong, you are in charge of the surrounding area. The alert of Shantou. Liu Qing and I escorted two scholars to the site to investigate. Miss Anne, Mr. Lin, would you like to follow?"
Anne looked at Lin Shuo's expression and found that he was not opposed, so she nodded slowly: "We went."
……
A group of six people went down the mountain, followed the village road, and first walked into the ruins.
The first step into this place, everyone feels that the ground here is different from the outside of the village.
Obviously it is also a dirt road, but the feeling coming from under my feet is obviously harder and flatter.
And from the first moment Lin Shuo stepped into the ruins, his expression became solemn.
He twitched his nose quickly, and there was a faint smell remaining here, which seemed to pull him back to the thunderstorm night six years ago.
That night, even the heavy rain could not wash away the disgusting smell in the air!
This kind of smell, together with the smell of blood spilling from his father Lin Leshan's chest, is engraved in the deepest part of Lin Shuo's memory.
In the past six years, this memory was like a nightmare, which kept him from sleeping in the middle of the night, and woke him up in the morning.
Lin Shuo's face slowly faded, and he touched his body, only to remember that the last three cigarettes had been used up when he was chasing him.
"Mr. Lin, what's the matter with you?" Anne asked at this time.
"Nothing." Lin Shuo forced a smile and asked, "Is there any smoke?"
"Oh." Anne quickly flipped through her bag and took out a box of Chinese cigarettes, which she had prepared for Xiao Ba.
Lin Shuo took one out of the box, and Anne hurriedly lit it for him. She found that Lin Shuo's hand holding the cigarette was shaking slightly.
"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" Anne asked worriedly, observing Lin Shuo's face.
"It's okay." Lin Shuo took a cigarette, his face improved a little, and he looked around.
From the mountain, I felt like it was hit by a tornado, but when I walked here, I realized that it was much more than that.
It's like being run over by an oversized road roller, everything is flat.
The building materials on the ground seem to be one piece. But when Yang Tuo took a sample, he found that he couldn't hold it with his hands, and all of them were broken.
He Zihong's face is also not pretty.
Normally speaking, this kind of on-site investigation, as clues appear one by one, the situation at that time slowly surfaced, and the scientific researchers present should be more and more aware of it.
But now, looking at the ruined wall here, he is getting more and more confused.
He Zihong felt that his professional enthusiasm was slowly cooling down, and a lingering fear was growing in his heart.
"No blood was found." Yang Tuo stood up, "The villagers here seem to have disappeared for no reason."
"Could it be that it was all swallowed by that thing?" Wei Xingshan said at this time, "Look at the surroundings, what is the house being crushed, such a big guy, cannibalism is just a bite, there is no need See blood."
"There are more than 180 people missing. Are they stupid? Waiting to be swallowed by this thing one by one, don't know how to run?" Yang Tuo's question made Wei Xingshan startled and scratched his head.
Liu Qing tremblingly asked: "I heard that this thing is a big snake?"
"It's not a snake." Lin Shuo shook his head, "At least ~IndoMTL.com~ is not the snake in your imagination."
"No matter what it is, you can't fall from the sky, right?" Yang Tuo asked, "but you see around, there is no trace of it at all. It appeared here out of thin air, and then took more than one hundred and eighty. People disappeared out of thin air."
"Yes." He Zihong also said with emotion, "With such a large body and such a heavy body, it is impossible to fly, right? Even if you can burrow into the ground, you have to leave a hole!"
Anne was slightly startled at this moment, as if she was trying to understand something, she suddenly looked at the river dozens of meters away.
Looking at the river for a few seconds, Anne looked at Lin Shuo again, asking something in her eyes.
Lin Shuo nodded slowly.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean..." Anne seemed to want to confirm something, and asked, "It's this river?"
"What?"
"This is impossible!"
"This ten-meter-wide river, is that thing's path?"
"If this guy comes here, he can squeeze out a river?"
"You are getting more and more outrageous. What is the concept of pressing a river? If it really has this ability, I will turn around and leave. This business says that nothing will be done."
Lin Shuo slowly exhaled a puff of smoke under the eyes of everyone, "I mean, this river more than ten meters wide can barely accommodate it. It should come from the water."
