Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 180: Ancient fierce beast
This time, in Nepal, the reception specifications are much higher than those of Lin Shuo's previous two transactions.
The transportation used to pick up and drop off was three Mercedes-Benz cars with small flags on both sides of the front of the car.
The small flags on both sides are not the same, one is the Indian flag, and the other is Nepal.
The national flag of Nepal is very special. It is not square, but two triangles stacked together, with blue borders, red background and white stripes. The upper pattern represents the moon, and the lower pattern represents the sun.
Seeing the national flags of the two countries, Lin Shuo understood in his heart that this should not be the car of the Nepalese government, but the Indian embassy in Nepal.
In addition to the three Big Ben, there is also an equipped car, a minibus modified to transport luggage.
The wooden boxes of the two leaders, Lin Shuo and Cao Yusheng, are resting on this minibus.
A total of eight police motorcycles cleared the way before and after the convoy, with their lights flashing.
Wei Xingshan, as the nominal safety officer of the operation, sat in the front car.
Lin Shuo and Anne, one is the leader of the hunting door, and the other is the representative of the International Biological Research Association who has been commissioned this time. They have the highest status on the surface, so they are sitting in the middle car.
Cao Yusheng and Zhang Jin, the old and the young, are the queens together.
The person sitting in the passenger seat of Lin Shuo's car is the official who is in charge of receiving Lin Shuo's group this time. He is in his thirties and has a big beard.
His full name, Lin Shuo didn't remember, the old man, I heard him introduce himself, he was an Indian, a military attache at the Indian Embassy in Nepal, and his name was Sanan.
This man is obviously well-educated, and his English is very standard, with a taste of London.
Lin Shuo’s English was actually taught by himself in the rural areas of Guangxi a few years ago to teach students.
Lin Shuo not only teaches Chinese, but also teaches English and natural sciences at schools in remote mountain villages.
The English textbooks in China are mostly in British pronunciation, so Lin Shuo listened to Sanan's accent and was quite used to it.
Just listen to Sanan’s introduction: "This biological incident is taken seriously by the Chinese government. Whatever you need, whether it is materials or manpower, please speak up."
Listening to Sanan's words, Lin Shuo felt a strange feeling in his heart.
This is Nepal. According to the briefing provided by the International Association for the Study of Biology, there were a total of 227 victims in this biological incident.
Among them, 207 citizens of Nepalese nationality were killed in a small town called Sori. Twenty Indians were killed on the border road between India and Nepal.
Obviously, more people were killed here in Nepal.
However, this time I was hosting my pedestrian, but it was the Indian Embassy in Nepal.
He asked Anne next to him in Chinese: "Where are the people from Nepal?"
Anne said: "Nepal and India are both Hindu countries, and the caste problem is deeply entrenched.
The 20 victims in India this time are all Brahmins, the highest caste.
The two hundred and seven people in Nepal are ‘untouchable’, so they don’t receive much attention. "
Lin Shuo nodded, understanding the strangeness in it.
Hinduism has four major castes, among which Brahmin is the highest, followed by Kshatriya, followed by Vaisha and Sudra.
Sanan, currently sitting in front of the two, should be a Kshatriya if he can become a government official.
And the "untouchables" in Anne's words are the most humble people outside of the four castes.
This kind of ancestry determines the social structure of the class. Although Lin Shuo has heard of it, it is very strange to experience it.
But he didn't care about it, so he closed his eyes and started to doze off.
At this moment, the most important thing is to recharge.
……
After the convoy drove out of Kathmandu, the traffic congestion was much better.
The police car that cleared the road was evacuated, and the overall speed of the convoy increased.
The first place the team must go is the small town called Sori.
This small city is on the southern branch of the Himalayas, more than 80 kilometers away from Kathmandu.
It sounds not far away, but Nepal is either mountainous or hilly. The road is winding and winding, and the actual travel distance is more than 300 kilometers.
Besides the general road conditions, when the convoy arrived in Sori, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Stayed in the hotel with the highest standard in the small town, Sanan told Lin Shuo that he would come again at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to pick everyone up for the site survey.
Compared to the previous two transactions, everyone lived well this time.
Although Sori is a small city, it is the southern foot of the Himalayas and the starting point of a certain hiking route.
.
Nepal itself is a country with tourism as its pillar industry, so the tourist facilities in this small city are all OK.
This hotel, known as a four-star hotel, looks almost the same as the domestic three-star hotel, but compared to the previous two visits, which was either a small hotel or a police dormitory, it was a lot better.
After having a hasty dinner, everyone gathered in Lin Shuo's room, planning to hold a small meeting to discuss tomorrow's affairs.
For the moment, the number of participants in this sale is smaller than before, with only five people.
However, the soldiers are more refined, but not many. The individual identities of the people who participated in the operation this time are displayed. Even if they are placed in the history of the hunting gate for thousands of years, they are considered a luxurious lineup.
The six leaders of Hunting Gate, two were dispatched, one was the chief leader and the other was the mastermind.
The two juniors are the last heirs of the Su Zhang family. Actually, they are only one league gift away from the sixth leader.
Even Wei Xingshan, who is the least powerful, is about to be the leading disciple of the hunting door, and his reputation is not low.
Such a lineup has been set aside in the past. There are alien species of beasts with names and surnames in "Kyushu Foreign Objects".
It's a pity that today is different from the past. This nominally strong lineup is not clear to others, but Lin Shuo still knows it.
Have a meeting first, and be careful not to make a big mistake.
And the person who presided over this meeting was supposedly Lin Shuo, after all, he was the leader of the hunting door.
However, since Cao Yusheng is here and this transaction has a lot to do with the Cao family, Lin Shuo doesn't say much, but asks Cao Yusheng to give a detailed introduction of the white head flying corpse, so as not to go back and catch it.
Lin Shuo remembered the performance of Anne and Zhang Jin when they lacked intelligence last time against the Beast.
Rescuing the two of them at the time was much harder than dealing with the beast and the assassin.
As for the situation of the white head flying corpse this time, even Lin Shuo only knows a little about it, and probably knows what it can do, but the specific situation needs to be further explained by Cao Yusheng.
"The specific situation of the white head flying corpse is ashamed to say, I, the Patriarch of the Cao family, actually don't know much." Cao Yusheng's opening remark made Lin Shuo's mouth twitch.
"Because the white-headed flying corpse is the secret of the Cao family's main line, the head of my branch has no right to know." Cao Yusheng explained, "However, the Cao family's main line suffered fifteen years ago. , The flying corpse has not appeared since it disappeared and disappeared. This is something for our Cao family.
That’s why I have been investigating in many ways over the years, just to prevent this beast from suddenly appearing and causing harm to the world.
Speaking of this thing, I actually saw a few when I was a kid.
They are like people, not like Lin's Fenghuang, but like from appearance to wisdom.
It has an appearance that is very similar to humans, but it is not human in nature.
Although it is the Lingling of our "Yenjing Cao", its place of origin is not in Yanjing, but in western Hunan.
The legend of driving the corpse in the west of Hunan, it is the instigator.
Of course, later because of this legend, the corpsesmith slowly became a craft and became one of the people in our door. That was another matter.
At least this is the source of the legend of zombies.
When they moved on the ground, they jumped and looked like humans, so they were misrepresented as zombies.
In ancient times, it had a more prestigious name.
It's called ‘Qungqi’. "
"Wait a minute." Wei Xingshan interrupted, "You let me digest, what do you mean, zombies and Qiongqi are actually the same thing?"
"Yes, it's one thing." Cao Yusheng nodded.
"Don't make trouble!" Wei Xingshan said, "I've been reading this thing recently. I know that it is an ancient beast! There are two records in the Shanhaijing, one is like a tiger, the other is like a tiger. One way of saying is like a cow, but not like a person!"
Cao Yusheng smiled and said: "Then, do you know that the Shan Hai Jing says that the tiger-like record comes from, but the cow-like record, isn't it?"
"Huh? I didn't care about it." Wei Xingshan shook his head, "I saw it as a popular version on the Internet."
"Young people~IndoMTL.com~ depends on the original version." Cao Yusheng said lightly, "In fact, it is not the original version. The real original version belongs to our hunter."
"Oh..." Wei Xingshan nodded. He had heard Lin Shuo say this kind of statement, but he was not a member of the hunting gate now. Lin Shuo couldn't show "Jiuzhou Foreign Objects" to him, so he only Can go to "Shan Hai Jing".
"Then Qiongqi, is it like a tiger, a cow, or a human?" Wei Xingshan asked again.
"They are all alike." Cao Yusheng nodded, "Orange grows Huainan for tangerine, and orange grows for Huaibei is citrus. Although in fact, tangerine and citrus are two plants, the truth of this sentence is correct.
Even if the same species has a different environment, its appearance will be different because of its adaptation to the local environment.
Qingqi is a similar situation. There will definitely be differences in appearance. There are group differences caused by environment and individual differences caused by genetic mutations.
Furthermore, the ancient people have limited knowledge after all. When making metaphors, there are not many metaphors. In fact, the difference between the bodies is not that big, but one describes the image of a tiger and the other describes the image of a cow. This is all normal.
In ancient times, Qiongqi in Xiangxi was like a human being.
The resemblance back then is probably a rough idea, not as much as it is now.
However, the white-headed flying corpse in our Cao family has a history of nearly 800 years of cultivation.
We humans domesticate animals with nothing more than two needs, one is functional needs, to be useful, and the other is aesthetic needs, to be good-looking.
So it has been cultivated over the past eight hundred years~IndoMTL.com~The white-headed flying corpse of our Cao family has grown stronger and more human-like at the same time.
The flying corpse that disappeared fifteen years ago, I heard from the old Cao family, it looked very beautiful.
Although it cannot speak, it understands human language and is very smart. "
"Uncle." Wei Xingshan asked again, "Speaking of which, your Cao family should have cultivated a lot of flying corpses back then?"
"Yeah." Cao Yusheng nodded, "There are indeed a lot. It is said that in the heyday of three hundred years ago, our old Cao family had the spectacle of'thousand corpses flying in the sky', and this became one of the six great hunters. One.
Unfortunately, with the extinction of the wild population, the flying corpses of the old Cao family began to degenerate slowly due to inbreeding, the elimination rate is getting higher and higher, and the finished products are getting less and less.
However, even twenty years ago, our Cao family still had more than 30 flying corpses, each of which was controlled by the descendants of the Cao family.
At that time, the hunting sect was on its own. With my elder brother and Zhang Lianhai, the Lin and Zhang family were indeed better than the others.
But if compared with the overall combat power, the Cao family is the undisputed No. 1 hunter. "
"What about the other flying corpses?" Wei Xingshan asked, "Shall we deal with one this time?"
"This time only one." Cao Yusheng said, "Because the other flying corpses were killed by this one."
"Huh? I don't want to let the same kind go?"
"Yes." Cao Yusheng sighed, "This white-headed flying corpse was the smartest and most powerful of those flying corpses back then. It was docile and beautiful. It was very popular with his hometown. Lord loves.
My child of the Cao family branch, to be honest, the family status is not as high as it, and it is easy to see it.
No one thought that it would kill the old Cao's house overnight.
This is really a non-my race, and their hearts must be different. "
