Chapter 4 third quarter

Although watching movies did not cause any trouble, but new challenges were placed in front of us again.According to what Minister Chen said, all the countries at Mr. Lei's conference seemed to be troubled by recent frequent events.This time, the people at the command level in 091 either didn't come back, or they went to the conference. It seems that it is impossible for us to get the opinions of the superiors before we leave.I don't know why Minister Chen appointed a few of us to investigate such a thing. There are still many people who are relatively free now. I hope the trouble is not too big.

This is the case with 091. If you don’t come, it will be extremely urgent. The next morning, Minister Chen brought us to the office for an emergency meeting. "You are not very old, but you are all veterans. I will not speak official words. There is a plane going there in the afternoon, so hurry up. It was originally arranged for you to set off with comrades from the Meteorological Institute next week, but our scholar We also went there a few days ago, I think you should go first, I don’t have much information here, you go and listen to their opinions, and play everything according to circumstances.” Minister Chen cut to the chase.

"Scholar? Who? Who are the four-eyed people in Group 1?" Da Zhang immediately understood. "Hehe, don't say these things in front of others. These people are all experts in technology. When you go there, be polite and ask them for advice. You are good at playing hard and brave, but you are far behind when you talk about words. Hey." Minister Chen seemed to know that Dazhang looked down on those intellectuals, "You happened to bring the materials to them. I asked Team Leader Qian to look at them and give some accurate opinions. Originally, these materials were there, so I happened to be with them. The itinerary was staggered."

Group 1 is a special department in the special unit of 091. Almost all of their main members are technical experts who have returned from overseas. Their understanding of science is far superior to those of us. It’s just that they have been busy with their work since their establishment. Unlike us, we are busy when we are busy, and we are idle when we are idle. Da Zhang stuck out his tongue: "Success, leader, I promise to complete the task." Minister Chen glanced at us a few times: "If you have nothing else to do, get ready. The car to the airport will leave in two hours. I hope everything goes well for you, and send my regards to Team Leader Qian and the others for me."

It was another continuous rush, from the sunny 091 headquarters to the hell-like Lop Nur within a few days, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.The place where we are going to meet with Group 1 is China's "two bombs and one satellite" Lop Nur nuclear test base, commonly known as the Malan base.I don't know what those guys are doing there, anyway, they have been stationed there for a long time.Minister Chen is very polite and trusting to the old team leader of Team 1, Qian. He will ask for his opinion on almost everything, and this time is the same. Our first task is to show him the video data.

Sitting in the jeep, we were all beating drums in our hearts, who knows what we will face this time. "What are those people in group 1 doing at the Malan base? It's mysterious. When Liu Zi arrives, you can talk to them. I can't deal with those talented people." Da Zhang is always dissatisfied. Datou smiled: "I said Dazhang, you get along well with me." "You are an exception, grandma, when will you teach me how to put people into the women's bathroom?" "Virtue, that's all you need to be ideal." I answered. "What's the matter, I learned to be the first to experiment with you first!"

"Can you calm down for a while? Don't be ashamed of the driver comrades guarding other people's bases!" Xiaotian couldn't stand it anymore. The base driver who came to pick us up didn't smile at all, and we realized that something was wrong. It seemed that the Malan base was in quite a lot of trouble. Everyone stopped talking, and our intuition told us that this was definitely not a so-called good business trip. Minister Chen, an old capitalist, would not do things to make working people happy. When we finally arrived at the Malan base, the base garrison leaders, Commander Qian and others had been waiting for us for a long time, without even the most basic pleasantries, we were directly taken into the meeting room.

"Kachakcha", a black-and-white photo of a strange person keeps flashing on the slide projector. I can't tell what kind of ugly face it is, but one thing I can be sure of is that this is a strange creature we have dealt with before, a weird virus Driving the corpses to keep moving, they are zombies, and the Nazis used this kind of biological weapon very skillfully. Team leader Qian had gray temples, he and his team members didn't say a word, just watched silently. "Last night, a Level 7 sandstorm, this thing crawled onto our missiles, and the entire base was on Level 1 alert. This kind of thing happened right under our noses! It's really unimaginable!" The base leader still spoke. , "New comrades, I heard that you have experience in dealing with these things, please tell me your opinions!"

"I don't know what to say. We have experience, but there is only one word to express our opinion—kill!" This was the first sentence I said at that time.I have seen enough of these things. All of you here are senior leaders. According to the confidentiality regulations, under special circumstances, we can disclose considerable confidentiality to them. I roughly told them about our experience in dealing with these monsters. Listen The people present looked at each other in blank dismay. Another long silence.Who would be relieved to hear such a thing?Mr. Qian lowered his glasses, turned to me and said, "Xiao Liu, I heard that you have brought some materials, show them to us. There have been a lot of troubles recently, so let's discuss them together."

"Oh, yes!" I just remembered that we have other tasks. Dazhang took out the copy of the film, and the weird scene was presented to us again. The chiefs of the garrison were completely silent.They more or less know what kind of department our 091 is, but when these unbelievable things are nakedly presented to them again and again, no matter how determined the soldiers are, they will be at a loss. However, Mr. Qian became very interested in this film. He asked someone to freeze the picture on the ancient city and watch it carefully over and over again. He turned to Liu Jingdong in their group and said, "Old Liu, look at the flowers blooming next to this city, do you have any impression?"

Liu Jingdong is a well-known sniper in 091. He is a natural killer. He has a cold murderous look all over his body, especially his sharp eyes. It makes you feel uncomfortable just by looking at you. Fortunately, this person doesn't often use his eyes. own people. "I should have seen it. The picture is too far away, so I'm not sure. If it is really that flower, I have only seen it once in my life, and there is only one flower." The cold voice brought Liu Jingdong's answer. "What are these men doing? Let them look at the city and study gardening. They really have a way." Da Zhang muttered to me. A chill passed in front of me in a blink of an eye, Liu Jingdong seemed to have heard Da Zhang's nonsense, and glanced towards us. "Da Zhang, this is not gardening, that flower is a black mandala." The cold voice came from the front again. "Datura flower? It's the first time I've heard of it." Da Zhang pouted his mouth, a little embarrassed that he was overheard chewing his tongue just now.Before we could say anything, Oda suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, and excitedly said: "How is this possible! Black mandala flowers are only found in fairy tales! You read it wrong! " I hurriedly tugged at her: "Speak slowly, why are you excited, what about it! Who can compare to Lao Liu in terms of eyes!" Mr. Qian adjusted his glasses and shook his head: "Researcher Tian, ​​don't get excited. The black mandala flower does exist. Both Lao Liu and I have seen it. That's right, it's the flower of death. In the West, such things occasionally appear. It appears under the gallows, and in some battlefields in our country, we will occasionally see this small black flower. It is said that only the blood of the wicked can make such a thing grow, but there are too many black mandala flowers in this picture Wow, this seemingly peaceful ancient city is full of things like this, hey..." I finally understood why Oda was so excited. Mr. Qian adjusted his glasses and took a look at us. "Ordinary datura flowers, everyone should know that the flowers on the screen are different from the datura flowers we are familiar with. They are indeed legendary flowers and flowers of death. We have spent more time dealing with these weird things , I see a lot of mysterious things, and I have heard other people talk about such flowers when I was abroad, and there is a more reasonable explanation." The audience was silent, waiting for Mr. Qian to say something more shocking. "There is such a study in the West, which studies the gap between the brave and the cowardly, why some people are brave and strong, while others are timid and cowardly. Some people used to say that it is the combined influence of education, growth, society and other factors, but some scientists don't think so There is such a theory that a person's courage and will depend on the degree of adrenaline secretion in the body when facing a dangerous situation. We all know that adrenaline regulates the heart muscle, increases blood pressure, activates sympathetic nerves, transports glucose to muscles, and promotes muscle activity. To deal with pressure or danger, it can instantly give people a strong functional improvement and terrifying explosive power. When some people face danger, the level of adrenaline secretion in the body will be much higher than that of ordinary people. Such people are born heroes, and The secretory ability of ordinary people is very average, and even in the face of danger, the secretory function is out of balance, leading to negative states such as coma. This is the theoretical basis." "Mr. Qian, I don't understand. What is the connection between such a theory and this so-called legendary flower?" "The relationship is in it. The so-called bravery is determined by the high adrenaline secretion ability. Then the treacherous people will also secrete different substances from ordinary people. As for what it is, the scientific community has not yet concluded. It should be Some kind of hormone. Once such a thing exists in the human body at an excessively high level, then this person will be violent accordingly. This is where the research on this kind of legendary flower lies. Western gallows are not specially designed for hanging, and will There are tortures such as beheading. When the blood of extremely vicious people flows under the gallows, such flowers will occasionally grow. I think that such flowers are not legendary flowers, but some ordinary plants absorb This kind of mutation caused by the cruel hormones secreted by the so-called evil people. If this theory is true, imagine how many people will be buried here to support so many datura flowers?" Mr. Qian asked the projectionist to play the film repeatedly, freezing the frame several times in the middle, and our mood also became disturbed.If it was as Mr. Qian assumed, this strange city is definitely not a good place. At least tens of thousands of people were buried in this seemingly simple place. "I really can't understand it. The background of this picture is too blurry. Look around the city, is it a mountain or the sky? It's all gray. And the outlines of the faces of these ancient people who entered and left the city were too blurred. Did they have no faces or I really can't get it right? Old Liu, take a closer look." "Mr. Qian, I can't do it either. I can only take a rough look. However, the actions of these people who enter and leave the city are a bit strange. I can't tell where they are different from ordinary people. I always feel awkward. This is just my intuition, maybe it's an illusion." It was another discussion, all over the world, information and rumors, various opinions, but in the end there was no discussion. Except for the confirmation of the strange flower, there was no progress. Seeing that it was getting late, the chiefs arranged for us The meeting is adjourned, and we will discuss it tomorrow.
