Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven
There is nothing to say about Professor Li's professionalism. If I had to describe my feeling in one word, it would be admiration.Although the scars on his hands are still covered with bandages, although his spirit has not fully recovered from the self-harm incident, and although he still needs drips to help the wound heal, Cai Feng and I will share our findings and conjectures with him. When he said it, he accepted it without blinking an eye, and immediately got out of the hospital bed and entered the laboratory!
Although I think this is a bit cruel to an injured old man, things have developed beyond our control, and we can't wait until things get worse to think about countermeasures, and, both from personal experience and medical level , he is the perfect candidate!
Cai Feng divided the pus extracted from the brain of the deceased into several parts for their research and experiments.Professor Li is mainly responsible for the research of drugs that safely destroy the cell structure of pus, and Cai Feng devotes most of his energy to the study of the cell structure of pus and the cause of hair growth!
You may think that since the abscess grows on a person's skull and under the scalp, wouldn't it be more direct and effective to remove it surgically?But things are not that simple. I have already described Li Moran’s medical treatment before his death, so I won’t waste any more words here.This incident proves that surgical excision cannot fundamentally eliminate pustules, because it will recur, just like a malignant tumor. Surgical excision is only an expedient measure. In the long run, it is fundamental to develop safe and effective restraint drugs.
Although I proposed to do Cai Feng's work - to find the source of the "crease"!But the zombie's family has already died, and the family of the latest deceased has no more clues to trace. In fact, if Cai Feng can't come up with a result, I will be looking for a needle in a haystack, without any clue.
Instead of sitting around and worrying, I might as well do something serious—find Lu Hua with the police!Because Bai Feng's safety has always been my concern.
That being said, my joining did not provide much help to Liu Zheng and the others in their search, because City S has a population of over one million, and if the surrounding population is added, the number of residents is no less than two million. If you want to find two people in the sea, you know how time-consuming and labor-intensive this is.Moreover, if Lu Hua's normal thinking has not been completely lost after being controlled, then there is nothing special about the appearance at all!Unless he did something drastic, it would be even more difficult—from the fact that he robbed Bai Feng, it can be speculated that Lu Hua's brain has not lost the ability to think, just like the deceased who died in a car accident, even though he was being controlled Then he had suicidal thoughts, but other functions of his body including thinking are still there (my experience with him can prove this).
So Liu Zheng and the others implemented the most old-fashioned method - investigation and posting notices!But I think this may be the most effective way!
The most likely place for them to go is Lu Hua's house or Bai Feng's house, but unfortunately, since the accident came out, Liu Zheng has sent people to implement 24-hour surveillance on these two places, and until now there is no Any valuable leads!
The two of them seemed to have disappeared from the city out of thin air.There was no news for three days in a row, even though Liu Zheng had dispatched all the police forces he could mobilize, and published reward notices on all radio stations and newspapers in S City, and posted notices in S City and all surrounding places where they might go notice, but we still get nothing!
The two dedicated lines dedicated to this matter were almost overwhelmed, but none of the information was valuable.I even suspect that both of them may not exist anymore. I can't believe that a person can disappear so completely, as if they never existed.
I would call Lu Hua's cell phone almost every hour, and the voice coming out of the phone was always shutting down, shutting down, shutting down!
The time passed slowly in an anxious wait, and in the end I no longer had any hope for Bai Feng's survival. The most thoughtful picture in my mind was that I suddenly received a phone call at a certain time not long ago. Suddenly, one or two corpses that had begun to decompose were found. Unfortunately, this corpse carried some characteristics of Bai Feng!This is the result I least want to see, but it is also the result I think of the most.
Naturally, I will not forget to run to the central hospital these days, the hospital is still overcrowded.In the past, cold and cold were only common diseases, and they were also the easiest to treat. Once upon a time, this problem could be solved by a bag of cold medicine, but now it has become very difficult.Injections and infusions are required, and even hospitalization is required. It is not known whether modern people have antibodies to cold medicines, or cold viruses have antibodies to medicines, or the medical level is declining with the popularization of modern equipment.
Although the hospital is very busy and the doctors and nurses are very busy, Professor Li can't take care of these anymore. He and Cai Feng have locked themselves in the laboratory for three whole days to conduct research and experiments without black or white.Normally, no one dared to disturb her. When it was time to eat, Bai Xiaojuan would pack a meal and deliver it to the two of them. However, the two of them seldom ate on time. Every time they felt hungry, the food was already cold!
Only then did I realize that the old and the young actually have a lot in common: they have the same self-confidence and arrogance, the same stubborn character, and even the same desperate drive to work!
Their work without sleep and food was not in vain. Professor Li has tested that pus is more sensitive to weakly acidic drugs, and he is further studying the specific drugs and dosage.However, Cai Feng's research on the cause of pustules has not made much progress. This is not to say that Cai Feng's level is not good, but that the latter is relatively difficult. After all, this is a new "disease". The reason is not something that can be equated. Think about the diseases we encounter every day. How many kinds of diseases can we specifically tell the cause of its occurrence?
And in the above two things, I almost became a dispensable bystander, I even doubted my existence value, but I quickly dismissed this idea, because I received a call!
It was noon on the fourth day after Lu Hua disappeared. I was silently watching Professor Li and his colleagues conduct experiments in the hospital when the phone rang.
The number is unfamiliar, and I'm sure it's not someone I know calling.At that time, I was watching the experiment of two people in the laboratory. When the phone rang, I quietly retreated into the corridor and picked it up.
"Hi, hello, I'm..."
"Are you Xenoxia?" The voice had a strong local accent of S City, and I couldn't hear it clearly for a moment.
I was slightly taken aback, and quickly said, "Yes, I am, you are..."
Before I could finish speaking, the man muttered again in an earthy accent: "It's really good! I think it's just a joke!"
I interrupted him and asked, "What can you do with me?"
"Isn't there a North Wind in your place?"
I was surprised for a while, and finally understood who the North Wind was referring to!I couldn't help feeling nervous, and quickly asked, "Do you know where Bai Feng is?"
"I don't know!" the man said with certainty.
I was a little bit dumbfounded, it was clearly a prank intentionally played on me, maybe he saw the notice posted on the street, or saw the reward announcement on TV, and deliberately called me to amuse me, now this kind of thing is not uncommon thing.However, as soon as this idea came up, I immediately dismissed it, because the contact number on the notice is the police station, and my name has never appeared on any notice!So I could only patiently ask slowly: "Are you looking for Bai Feng?"
"I'm not looking for Beifeng either. I have something to say...what should I say?" The person on the other end of the phone may be more anxious than me. I want to find out what's going on as soon as possible, but he wants to tell him what he knows immediately Me, but I don't know how to word it for a while.
So I had no choice but to take my time: "Don't worry, just start slowly!"
"It's such a thing. I woke up today (morning) and went to the field. I picked up a gown in my field. It was square, and it was similar to the one on TV! There were a few words written on it, it was red, I heard it There is still a smell, probably blood. I think this is a bit strange, so I will call and ask!"
"What words did you write?" I asked quickly.
"It's two names, the one on top is Xenoxia, the one on the bottom is Beifeng, and the phone number in the middle! My daughter-in-law said that it's probably the Beifeng mentioned on TV. Did she kill someone? I think it's time to report the crime, my wife I said it's better not to get involved, I thought about it, and I think it's better to make a phone call..."
I didn't want to listen to his rambling anymore, so I hurriedly interrupted him: "I'll be there right away, where are you?"
"Yaoshan Village, Qingming Town!"
The man's name is Wang Xiaoer, an ordinary farmer in Yaoshan Village, Qingming Town, and he is over 50 years old.As soon as I saw the plaid gown he mentioned, I recognized it was the patient uniform of the Central Hospital, and what Bai Feng was wearing the day he was kidnapped was indeed the patient uniform. Although the bright red blood characters are not very neatly written, it is obvious that the handwriting is beautiful, and it should be written by a woman. I asked Wang Xiaoer to take me to the place where he picked up the clothes. There is a mountain in the south, the mountain is not high, and there is a cliff. I think the clothes fell from the cliff! Although I found this important clue, I am not sure whether Bai Feng is still alive, because the clothes were probably thrown on the mountain three days ago, and it was only blown down by the mountain wind. Maybe the two of them are now dead. Not here anymore.But no matter what, the bloody clothes provide an important clue, that is, they have been here before, and Bai Feng must have been alive when she was here, at least she still has the ability to try to inform me! No matter what, I have to go up the mountain to see!Even if no one can be found, there must be other clues left on the mountain. But what I don't understand is why Lu Hua brought Bai Feng here?What is he doing in this wilderness?Is it just to avoid the police's pursuit? Qingming Town!What a familiar name, the beginning of the mystery, the zombies were transported to City S from here, could there be other secrets hidden here? I know Lu Hua's skill, I'm definitely no match by myself, but it's almost evening, and the signal of the mobile phone here has disappeared without a trace, if you run back to the village to make a call, wait until Liu Zheng and the others come over It will be completely dark!I plan to go up and find out by myself, after all, saving people is like putting out a fire, if something happens to Bai Feng while I'm waiting, then I will definitely blame myself for the rest of my life! Fortunately, Wang Xiaoer was afraid that he would go back late and walk around at night, so he brought a flashlight when he came, so I gave him a hundred yuan, which was considered to be buying his flashlight, and wrote Liu Zheng's mobile phone number to him, please He called them as soon as he got back and told them to come over quickly, but it turned out later that this was of little use! Wang Xiaoer is a standard simple farmer, so simple that people can't bear to be deceived.He insisted on not wanting my money, so I didn't force it. I asked him about the general situation on the mountain, and then I climbed up alone!
The mountain is not high, only three or four hundred meters. I went around to the other side of the mountain. It was a gentle slope, and it was not difficult to climb up. This mountain can only be regarded as a small mound compared with other famous mountains with a height of ten thousand ren.From the perspective of the northern landforms, 90% of the hills protruding from the plain are stone mountains.However, this small hill is obviously an earth mountain. It is difficult to see exposed stones on the surface of the mountain. Only the exposed hard rock can be seen on the cliff below the mountain. Although it is an earthy mountain, there are some differences here. The soil here is not yellow or black, but light green. Looking at it, it is green and refreshing.This is naturally not because the ground is covered with many short vegetation, but the original color of the soil.There are not many tall trees on it, which is not quite accurate. It should be said that there are no trees at all, only waist-deep plants, or weeds, because no matter from the height of the plants or the shape of the branches and leaves, they are definitely not trees. It's just that the grass grows taller here. I have never done much research on plants, and even the most common plants are not easy to distinguish. Naturally, I don't know the names of these tall plants! Maybe it's because of the soil quality. Although there are no trees here, the grass doesn't grow densely. The distance between one plant and another is less than ten meters. What's more strange is that these grasses are not green, but green. It is slightly red, and if you look at it from a distance, the green surface is dotted with some light red, which is indeed a beautiful scenery. Although I felt strange, I had no intention of studying the peculiar landform features here. I climbed to the side of the mountain and walked obliquely towards the direction of the cliff. I might be able to find some traces left by Bai Feng there! After walking for about half an hour, when the sun was setting, I finally climbed to the edge of the cliff—of course, it was almost close to the top of the mountain, and I climbed seventy or eighty meters to reach the top of the mountain. The cliff is about 100 to 200 meters wide. I looked along the edge of the cliff bit by bit from left to right, not daring to relax in the slightest. Maybe a footprint or a button may be inadvertently neglected by me. past. I checked to the right step by step, and after walking only fifty or sixty meters, I found some special traces. This is not the result of my carefulness, but the traces are too obvious, if I don't bow my head and walk all the way forward, I will definitely not miss it. Rather than saying that it was a series of footprints, it would be better to say that someone stepped on it deliberately. One by one, the motley footprints were deeply imprinted in the green soil, extending upwards to the top of the mountain with a height of seventy or eighty meters. I stood on the edge of the cliff where the footprints were, and I could clearly see the land that was cut into many pieces under the mountain.That's right, I was standing at the foot of the mountain at about this position just now, and Wang Xiaoer said that this is where he picked up the bloody coat with words written on it! I let out a breath, looked at the line of footprints ahead, and went up, this was the only choice. I followed my footprints step by step to the top of the mountain, and suddenly there was a cool wind blowing in my face. The top of the mountain was about one or two miles away, like a flat field. I never imagined that there was such a flat river on the top of the mountain!Moreover, the top of the mountain is not green, but a whole piece of exposed flat rock. The mottled and ugly stone surface looks like it has just been bombed.In fact, you don’t need to bother looking for it, you can see the side at a glance, there is nothing on it except rocks! I was very disappointed. I thought that there must be many small undulating bumps on the top of the mountain, or strange rocks and weeds all over the ground. I would search carefully for a long time on it. Or start a life-and-death contest with Lu Hua.However, I never expected such a result. I looked down the mountain, and there were many small mounds in the shape of steamed buns on the left. There were small stone tablets standing in front of the mounds, and there was a cemetery there.I suddenly thought, didn't we dig out Li Moran's body from this cemetery a few days ago?I didn't expect to turn around and come back here again! I'm planning to go down the mountain. Since I haven't found anything, it's useless for me to stay here. As I was walking down the mountain, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind: Is the top of the mountain really a complete rock? Isn't this kind of thinking strange?When I first came up with this idea, I also felt very strange, wondering why I came up with this idea, but when I tasted this idea in my mind again, I suddenly found that this idea is not strange at all! Yes, is the top of the mountain with a radius of one or two miles complete?If not so what? Maybe the top of the mountain is a complete piece when viewed from one side, but it may be divided into many pieces, so is there a gap between the pieces?So is it possible that these gaps are so large that people can hide in them and not see them? It's possible, totally possible!If Lu Hua and Bai Feng were hiding in a crevice of a certain rock, wouldn't it be a bit rash for me to just stand on the side and take a glance and go down the mountain like this? Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and walked towards the middle of the mountain top. The search was not too strenuous, because after all, the top of the mountain was not very wide, and it was not difficult to find the gap that could accommodate two people to hide. This process took about twenty minutes, and by this time, it was completely dark. My epiphany this time was not groundless, because although the entire mountain top looks flat, it is indeed divided into many parts. There are gaps where each part connects. Of course, most of them are small, and there are some The wide depression is only very shallow. It is not a gap between the rocks, but a concave point on the surface of a rock. The search for more than 20 minutes was basically nothing, until a crack about a foot wide was found. The reason why I pay special attention to this crack is because it meets the two requirements for hiding. First, it is very deep. I used a flashlight to illuminate it. Although it can illuminate the bottom of the cave more than ten meters down, it seems It is very spacious, and the light of the flashlight does not illuminate all the places at all, which provides a space for people to hide.Second, the width of one foot can definitely accommodate an adult. Facing the dark cave entrance, I hesitated for a moment. After all, this was in a barren mountain, and I was alone. If something happened to this dark cave, I am afraid there would be no one to collect the corpse!But, I can't just sit here and wait, could it be that Lu Hua Baifeng suddenly appeared from inside? After thinking about it, I finally decided to go down to find out. Although it is dangerous, it is not the most important thing. Ever since I became infinitely curious about bizarre events, which time did I not come here in danger?If my life really should die here, I can't hide from it. Thinking of this, I put the piece of clothing with writing on it at the entrance of the cave, so that Liu Zheng and the others could see it at a glance when they arrived, then I put the flashlight in my belt, and as soon as I stretched out my hand, I got in!
Although the entrance of the cave is narrow, the inside of the cave is extremely spacious, with a size of more than 20 meters.Fortunately, the whole cave was in the shape of a spherical bottle. I grabbed the stone edge of the entrance and was able to jump to the middle of one side and slide down.Otherwise, jumping from a place of more than ten meters, I am afraid that my leg will be broken. I went down to the bottom of the cave and looked around. The walls of the cave are all rocky and slippery. There are many mosses growing on them, but there are dense mosses growing on the ground. The difference is that the moss is different from the four walls. The plant is about a foot high, and many stones are hidden in it.Other than that, there is nothing else. Because there is nothing to block it, although the entire cave is dark, you can see everything in a glance with the light of the flashlight. After reading it again, my heart slowly cooled again. No one should have been here, because there was no trace of footsteps on the dense moss. It seems that this time I was busy for nothing again. When I was planning to climb up the rock, the flashlight flashed by inadvertently, and I was dazzled by a group of slightly bright things in the corner on the left. I hurried over. It was a plastic bag, stained with a lot of moisture, and a lot of dewdrops had condensed on it. Just now, because it was illuminated by the light of the flashlight, it reflected a bright light.I picked it up and looked at it. It must have been a bread bag because there were some crumbs left on it.Fortunately, there is a shelf life on it, and I don't need to judge its approximate age. With the light of the flashlight, I can clearly see a line of words on it. 2008-9-8——2008-10-8 There is also a line of date behind, I think it should be the production date. 2008-9-8 When I saw this date, my heart skipped a beat. Here I need to talk about the current time-that is, the time when I was standing in the cave, it was September 13, 2008!The date when Lu Hua robbed Bai Feng was four days ago, that is, September 9th.This shows that the time for this plastic bag to be thrown here can only be after September 8, because before that, this piece of bread has not been produced yet! Of course, this does not mean that it was left behind by Lu Hua or Bai Feng, or that someone else came to this place during the four days that Lu Hua was missing.But thinking of the dress with blood on it, I think it is very likely that Bai Feng will throw it away as a mark.So why in this short few days, there is not even a trace of someone coming in the cave?Could it be that they flew in?Even if they had been here before, what was their intention?When did Lu Hua know there was such a cave?Where did they go now... This series of questions came to my mind when I saw this plastic bag! Guessing is useless. Only by finding them can we answer these questions. What I have to do now is to see if I can find out where Lu Hua is going. The surroundings of the plastic bag are no different from other places, moss and rocks, I simply cleaned up the moss and stones, and an inch thick green soil layer was exposed underneath, and then there were hard rocks, I even stomped hard A few times, trying to see if the rock is empty, however, the facts once again proved my guess wrong. At this moment, I suddenly thought, if there is really a hole down here, if they want to enter the hole, they have to jump in and walk through it, so it is impossible to leave no footprints on the ground, unless... Thinking of what to do, I raised my head suddenly, and the light of the flashlight immediately shone upwards. Many bats hanging upside down on the wall were disturbed by the light, and they flew up with squeaking sounds. Countless evil spirits seemed to startle in the darkness. There was a lot of noise in the whole cave. As I said just now, this hole is like a spherical bottle, and the mouth of the hole is naturally the "mouth of the bottle". When you enter the bottle mouth, it will open up immediately, so there is a long roof around the hole on the top, and these bats hang upside down on it. On the top, there is a dense layer of darkness, with faintly bright eyes, looking eerie. Although I was frightened (this is not a joke), I couldn't help being shocked when I saw these. Fortunately, they didn't have the same experience as a rash intruder like me. The ground flew out of the hole and did not attack me, otherwise these "mutated mice" would not be so easy to deal with. After these masters ran away from home one after another, I could finally search on the stone wall with peace of mind. In fact, there was no need to search for it. The entrance of the dark hole was not far from the entrance of the cave I came in. This time I finally guessed right, but I couldn't be happy, because the hole is so small, let alone walking upright, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to even crawl in.If they were indeed inside, then it would be too unbelievable! Suspicion is suspicion, I can't help but look at it, even if it is a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, I have to break through it. Gritting my teeth and tightening my belt, I took a few steps back, and then ran quickly. With this momentum, my feet ran five or six steps on the stone wall, and with a sudden jump, my hands were already tightly grasped. hole. Although the stone wall is not vertical at 90 degrees, it is not easy to run up the moss-covered slippery stone surface. In the same sentence, Yiduo does not press down on the body. The painful training of the body for so many years is what I can do. The foundation of success in one fell swoop. I slowly climbed into the hole, took out the flashlight stuck in my belt behind my back, and took a picture inside. The narrow hole was slanted downwards, the slope was not too steep, but it was very long. With a faint halo, you can't see the end at all.I naturally don't know where this narrow hole leads to? It is not an exaggeration to say that the hole is narrow. If you want to climb in, you can only stretch your arms forward. If you bend your knees a little more, you will be stuck in the middle.If it is similar, I think the corpse path dug with fingers in Li Moran's tomb is somewhat similar to this one! I hesitated for a while, not because I wanted to retreat, but because I didn't know what kind of posture I should use to go down?Of course, the best way is to move forward with the strength of both arms and feet, but this is the most unsafe way. If the narrow hole has been opened to the end with this width, then I may not even turn over in it. No, plus the narrow hole is obliquely downward.In other words, after I go down, there will be a dead end, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, because everyone knows that in such a narrow hole, it is much easier to move forward than to retreat. It's not very safe if I go in backwards, because I can't see the front. Even if there are poisonous snakes and scorpions in front of me, I will hardly find it. I can get away with it. There is no need to weigh the two options. Faced with danger, people will always choose the method with a higher safety factor, and I am no exception. After all, the chance of encountering scorpions and poisonous snakes is far less than the chance of getting in and not getting out. In any case, life is the most important. I made up my mind and slipped lightly into the narrow hole. It was better than I imagined. Although the downward slope was not very steep, it saved me a lot of energy. As I retreated, I thought: Lu Hua's choice of this place to hide was absolutely foolproof. Whether it was posting reward notices or conducting house-to-house investigations, even if the entire S City and Qingming Town were dug three feet deep, it was impossible to find his trace.But did Lu Hua just want to hide?If it is only for this purpose, there are many places to go, and it is not necessary to choose this secret road in the barren mountains.I think this unremarkable barren mountain must hide a big secret, maybe this is the key to the whole incident, the green soil on the mountain, and Li Moran's tomb at the foot of the mountain, are these two accidental?And Lu Hua, I can't believe that he knew in advance that there was a secret passage here, but he was the first to choose this place after being controlled.By the way, I almost overlooked one thing. When we opened the tomb of Li Moran, he didn't lie in the tomb, but dug a long corpse path and lay in it. I didn't pay attention at that time, and waited until I stood When I was looking from the top of the mountain, I felt like I remembered something, and now I understand, the direction of the corpse path!Yes, it pointed to this barren mountain! I went forward very hard and very long. According to my estimation, it should have taken more than an hour. I kept going backwards and downs until—— The feet loosened, and the body fell into a larger space with a bang before it was over!
The man's name is Wang Xiaoer, an ordinary farmer in Yaoshan Village, Qingming Town, and he is over 50 years old.As soon as I saw the plaid gown he mentioned, I recognized it was the patient uniform of the Central Hospital, and what Bai Feng was wearing the day he was kidnapped was indeed the patient uniform.

I asked him about the general situation on the mountain, and then I climbed up alone!
The mountain is not high, only three or four hundred meters. I went around to the other side of the mountain. It was a gentle slope, and it was not difficult to climb up.

I might be able to find some traces left by Bai Feng there! After walking for about half an hour, when the sun was setting, I finally climbed to the edge of the cliff—of course, it was almost close to the top of the mountain, and I climbed seventy or eighty meters to reach the top of the mountain. The cliff is about 100 to 200 meters wide. I looked along the edge of the cliff bit by bit from left to right, not daring to relax in the slightest. Maybe a footprint or a button may be inadvertently neglected by me. past. I checked to the right step by step, and after walking only fifty or sixty meters, I found some special traces. This is not the result of my carefulness, but the traces are too obvious, if I don't bow my head and walk all the way forward, I will definitely not miss it. Rather than saying that it was a series of footprints, it would be better to say that someone stepped on it deliberately. One by one, the motley footprints were deeply imprinted in the green soil, extending upwards to the top of the mountain with a height of seventy or eighty meters. I stood on the edge of the cliff where the footprints were, and I could clearly see the land that was cut into many pieces under the mountain.That's right, I was standing at the foot of the mountain at about this position just now, and Wang Xiaoer said that this is where he picked up the bloody coat with words written on it! I let out a breath, looked at the line of footprints ahead, and went up, this was the only choice. I followed my footprints step by step to the top of the mountain, and suddenly there was a cool wind blowing in my face. The top of the mountain was about one or two miles away, like a flat field. I never imagined that there was such a flat river on the top of the mountain!Moreover, the top of the mountain is not green, but a whole piece of exposed flat rock. The mottled and ugly stone surface looks like it has just been bombed.In fact, you don’t need to bother looking for it, you can see the side at a glance, there is nothing on it except rocks! I was very disappointed. I thought that there must be many small undulating bumps on the top of the mountain, or strange rocks and weeds all over the ground. I would search carefully for a long time on it. Or start a life-and-death contest with Lu Hua.However, I never expected such a result. I looked down the mountain, and there were many small mounds in the shape of steamed buns on the left. There were small stone tablets standing in front of the mounds, and there was a cemetery there.I suddenly thought, didn't we dig out Li Moran's body from this cemetery a few days ago?I didn't expect to turn around and come back here again! I'm planning to go down the mountain. Since I haven't found anything, it's useless for me to stay here. As I was walking down the mountain, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind: Is the top of the mountain really a complete rock? Isn't this kind of thinking strange?When I first came up with this idea, I also felt very strange, wondering why I came up with this idea, but when I tasted this idea in my mind again, I suddenly found that this idea is not strange at all! Yes, is the top of the mountain with a radius of one or two miles complete?If not so what? Maybe the top of the mountain is a complete piece when viewed from one side, but it may be divided into many pieces, so is there a gap between the pieces?So is it possible that these gaps are so large that people can hide in them and not see them? It's possible, totally possible!If Lu Hua and Bai Feng were hiding in a crevice of a certain rock, wouldn't it be a bit rash for me to just stand on the side and take a glance and go down the mountain like this? Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and walked towards the middle of the mountain top. The search was not too strenuous, because after all, the top of the mountain was not very wide, and it was not difficult to find the gap that could accommodate two people to hide. This process took about twenty minutes, and by this time, it was completely dark. My epiphany this time was not groundless, because although the entire mountain top looks flat, it is indeed divided into many parts. There are gaps where each part connects. Of course, most of them are small, and there are some The wide depression is only very shallow. It is not a gap between the rocks, but a concave point on the surface of a rock. The search for more than 20 minutes was basically nothing, until a crack about a foot wide was found. The reason why I pay special attention to this crack is because it meets the two requirements for hiding. First, it is very deep. I used a flashlight to illuminate it. Although it can illuminate the bottom of the cave more than ten meters down, it seems It is very spacious, and the light of the flashlight does not illuminate all the places at all, which provides a space for people to hide.Second, the width of one foot can definitely accommodate an adult. Facing the dark cave entrance, I hesitated for a moment. After all, this was in a barren mountain, and I was alone. If something happened to this dark cave, I am afraid there would be no one to collect the corpse!But, I can't just sit here and wait, could it be that Lu Hua Baifeng suddenly appeared from inside? After thinking about it, I finally decided to go down to find out. Although it is dangerous, it is not the most important thing. Ever since I became infinitely curious about bizarre events, which time did I not come here in danger?If my life really should die here, I can't hide from it. Thinking of this, I put the piece of clothing with writing on it at the entrance of the cave, so that Liu Zheng and the others could see it at a glance when they arrived, then I put the flashlight in my belt, and as soon as I stretched out my hand, I got in!
Although the entrance of the cave is narrow, the inside of the cave is extremely spacious, with a size of more than 20 meters.Fortunately, the whole cave was in the shape of a spherical bottle. I grabbed the stone edge of the entrance and was able to jump to the middle of one side and slide down.Otherwise, jumping from a place of more than ten meters, I am afraid that my leg will be broken. I went down to the bottom of the cave and looked around. The walls of the cave are all rocky and slippery. There are many mosses growing on them, but there are dense mosses growing on the ground. The difference is that the moss is different from the four walls. The plant is about a foot high, and many stones are hidden in it.Other than that, there is nothing else. Because there is nothing to block it, although the entire cave is dark, you can see everything in a glance with the light of the flashlight. After reading it again, my heart slowly cooled again. No one should have been here, because there was no trace of footsteps on the dense moss. It seems that this time I was busy for nothing again. When I was planning to climb up the rock, the flashlight flashed by inadvertently, and I was dazzled by a group of slightly bright things in the corner on the left. I hurried over. It was a plastic bag, stained with a lot of moisture, and a lot of dewdrops had condensed on it. Just now, because it was illuminated by the light of the flashlight, it reflected a bright light.I picked it up and looked at it. It must have been a bread bag because there were some crumbs left on it.Fortunately, there is a shelf life on it, and I don't need to judge its approximate age. With the light of the flashlight, I can clearly see a line of words on it. 2008-9-8——2008-10-8 There is also a line of date behind, I think it should be the production date. 2008-9-8 When I saw this date, my heart skipped a beat. Here I need to talk about the current time-that is, the time when I was standing in the cave, it was September 13, 2008!The date when Lu Hua robbed Bai Feng was four days ago, that is, September 9th.This shows that the time for this plastic bag to be thrown here can only be after September 8, because before that, this piece of bread has not been produced yet! Of course, this does not mean that it was left behind by Lu Hua or Bai Feng, or that someone else came to this place during the four days that Lu Hua was missing.But thinking of the dress with blood on it, I think it is very likely that Bai Feng will throw it away as a mark.So why in this short few days, there is not even a trace of someone coming in the cave?Could it be that they flew in?Even if they had been here before, what was their intention?When did Lu Hua know there was such a cave?Where did they go now... This series of questions came to my mind when I saw this plastic bag! Guessing is useless. Only by finding them can we answer these questions. What I have to do now is to see if I can find out where Lu Hua is going. The surroundings of the plastic bag are no different from other places, moss and rocks, I simply cleaned up the moss and stones, and an inch thick green soil layer was exposed underneath, and then there were hard rocks, I even stomped hard A few times, trying to see if the rock is empty, however, the facts once again proved my guess wrong. At this moment, I suddenly thought, if there is really a hole down here, if they want to enter the hole, they have to jump in and walk through it, so it is impossible to leave no footprints on the ground, unless... Thinking of what to do, I raised my head suddenly, and the light of the flashlight immediately shone upwards. Many bats hanging upside down on the wall were disturbed by the light, and they flew up with squeaking sounds. Countless evil spirits seemed to startle in the darkness. There was a lot of noise in the whole cave. As I said just now, this hole is like a spherical bottle, and the mouth of the hole is naturally the "mouth of the bottle". When you enter the bottle mouth, it will open up immediately, so there is a long roof around the hole on the top, and these bats hang upside down on it. On the top, there is a dense layer of darkness, with faintly bright eyes, looking eerie. Although I was frightened (this is not a joke), I couldn't help being shocked when I saw these. Fortunately, they didn't have the same experience as a rash intruder like me. The ground flew out of the hole and did not attack me, otherwise these "mutated mice" would not be so easy to deal with. After these masters ran away from home one after another, I could finally search on the stone wall with peace of mind. In fact, there was no need to search for it. The entrance of the dark hole was not far from the entrance of the cave I came in. This time I finally guessed right, but I couldn't be happy, because the hole is so small, let alone walking upright, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to even crawl in.If they were indeed inside, then it would be too unbelievable! Suspicion is suspicion, I can't help but look at it, even if it is a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, I have to break through it. Gritting my teeth and tightening my belt, I took a few steps back, and then ran quickly. With this momentum, my feet ran five or six steps on the stone wall, and with a sudden jump, my hands were already tightly grasped. hole. Although the stone wall is not vertical at 90 degrees, it is not easy to run up the moss-covered slippery stone surface. In the same sentence, Yiduo does not press down on the body. The painful training of the body for so many years is what I can do. The foundation of success in one fell swoop. I slowly climbed into the hole, took out the flashlight stuck in my belt behind my back, and took a picture inside. The narrow hole was slanted downwards, the slope was not too steep, but it was very long. With a faint halo, you can't see the end at all.I naturally don't know where this narrow hole leads to? It is not an exaggeration to say that the hole is narrow. If you want to climb in, you can only stretch your arms forward. If you bend your knees a little more, you will be stuck in the middle.If it is similar, I think the corpse path dug with fingers in Li Moran's tomb is somewhat similar to this one! I hesitated for a while, not because I wanted to retreat, but because I didn't know what kind of posture I should use to go down?Of course, the best way is to move forward with the strength of both arms and feet, but this is the most unsafe way. If the narrow hole has been opened to the end with this width, then I may not even turn over in it. No, plus the narrow hole is obliquely downward.In other words, after I go down, there will be a dead end, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, because everyone knows that in such a narrow hole, it is much easier to move forward than to retreat. It's not very safe if I go in backwards, because I can't see the front. Even if there are poisonous snakes and scorpions in front of me, I will hardly find it. I can get away with it. There is no need to weigh the two options. Faced with danger, people will always choose the method with a higher safety factor, and I am no exception. After all, the chance of encountering scorpions and poisonous snakes is far less than the chance of getting in and not getting out. In any case, life is the most important. I made up my mind and slipped lightly into the narrow hole. It was better than I imagined. Although the downward slope was not very steep, it saved me a lot of energy. As I retreated, I thought: Lu Hua's choice of this place to hide was absolutely foolproof. Whether it was posting reward notices or conducting house-to-house investigations, even if the entire S City and Qingming Town were dug three feet deep, it was impossible to find his trace.But did Lu Hua just want to hide?If it is only for this purpose, there are many places to go, and it is not necessary to choose this secret road in the barren mountains.I think this unremarkable barren mountain must hide a big secret, maybe this is the key to the whole incident, the green soil on the mountain, and Li Moran's tomb at the foot of the mountain, are these two accidental?And Lu Hua, I can't believe that he knew in advance that there was a secret passage here, but he was the first to choose this place after being controlled.By the way, I almost overlooked one thing. When we opened the tomb of Li Moran, he didn't lie in the tomb, but dug a long corpse path and lay in it. I didn't pay attention at that time, and waited until I stood When I was looking from the top of the mountain, I felt like I remembered something, and now I understand, the direction of the corpse path!Yes, it pointed to this barren mountain! I went forward very hard and very long. According to my estimation, it should have taken more than an hour. I kept going backwards and downs until—— The feet loosened, and the body fell into a larger space with a bang before it was over!
