Chapter 232

Just before dawn, people in the makeshift camp began to pack up their equipment, collect their garbage, and prepare to start searching as planned.

Group leader Li also got up early, simply washed his face with clean water and rinsed his mouth. While eating compressed dry food, he began to check the situation of the team.

Although the company kept all kinds of secrets from them and didn't say anything clearly, which made group leader Li a little uncomfortable when he was performing the task, he had to say that the treatment was quite good, so that he could completely ignore the uncomfortable feeling.

Not only do they have generous remuneration and welfare, but also high field subsidies and bonuses. When they are on duty, they are equipped with complete equipment and various supplies.

Just like the compressed dry food in hand, it is not available on the market. It is specially developed and produced by the R & D Department of the company. There is nothing on the package except the shelf life.

As a matter of fact, group leader Li suspected that such things might have been made by the high paid researchers in the R & D department when they were in trouble. Otherwise, even if there was no market for them to go on the market and cooperate with the military casually, there would still be a lot of orders and income. These compressed dry foods are much better than the standard products he used to eat.

In less than an hour, the team was fully organized. After they left, the place left no domestic garbage except for the traces of camping.

"Dr. Fang, take a look at today's search plan. Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

Group leader Li handed a very heavy tablet computer to the female doctor accompanying her, one to follow her advice.

Dr. Fang looks like he is in his thirties. His skin is not much whiter than that of group Li. His facial features are also quite rough. He looks a little masculine. His agility is no less than those of the male members who have military experience.

She glanced at the tablet, did not take it, said: "Mr. Liang approved it."

Group leader Li reluctantly withdrew the tablet. In fact, it was his authority to arrange the search plan. He didn't need to ask Dr. Fang's opinion. The reason why he asked was that he wanted to make a conversation with Dr. Fang. As long as she put forward her opinion, he could follow the line and naturally ask for more information. Although he felt that the researchers who had been in the laboratory before may not know all the information, they should be more than those who have been working in the field.

A few minutes later, group leader Li and Mr. Liang had a conversation via satellite link.

Their search method is special, because most of them don't know exactly what they are looking for.

There are four crew members on the ground with cameras, and there are three small UAVs in the air with cameras. They search and shoot everywhere and transmit the pictures to Mr. Liang thousands of miles away through the UAV platform.

Mr. Liang can choose which camera to switch to or watch all the pictures at the same time.

Generally speaking, unless there are obvious abnormal traces, or Mr. Liang orders directly, they will walk all the way along the planned route without any meticulous search.

However, in the deep mountains of Qinling no man's land, he is searching for unknown creatures that may exist and don't know the specific situation. Leader Li's spirit is not a bit lax. He is always observing the surrounding environment and team members through various equipment.

This search lasted for five days. When group leader Li calculated the consumption of supplies and felt that this time he would be in vain, Mr. Liang put forward the order to change the search plan for the first time.

A few hours later, Mr. Liang again issued instructions to conduct a "deep investigation" of an area.

At this time, several researchers led by Dr. Fang came on the stage, while group leader Li took his team members to take charge of the peripheral alert.

After arranging the guard, group leader Li approached Dr. Fang carefully, looked at the big tree around them, and asked in a low voice, "what's wrong with this tree?"

Dr. Fang didn't ignore his question this time. While watching several researchers collect samples, he said, "he was drenched by some strong corrosive liquid from above. He is dying."

Group leader Li raised his head and frowned at the top of the big black tree: "is this man-made? Or the kind of creature we're looking for? "

Dr. Fang shook his head: "it's not sure for now, but judging from the situation of this tree, it should have been attacked 10 days or more ago. It's a pity that during this period of time, there have been several rains in Qinling Mountains, and the traces around are almost washed away. "

"Whether it's human beings or any other creatures, it's supposed to be a sneak attack by pouring so much corrosive liquid from it? What about the target of the attack? If you get hurt, how much will it leave behind? When you came here, didn't you find out? " Li judged by his experience.

When it comes to the analysis of biology and some specific substances, he is certainly not better than the doctors. However, when it comes to survival in the wild, adaptability, tracking, and dealing with the enemy, he is much better than all of them.

"Not found." Dr. Fang said, controlling a UAV slowly close to the top of the tree to shoot and observe.Mr. Liang's ugly voice sounded from the communicator: "collect the samples you need. You don't have to spend too much time here. Take this tree as the center, search three sides, and start from the East."

When Mr. Liang spoke, both group leader Li and Dr. Fang naturally followed suit.

For this strange voice "Mr. Liang", group leader Li's curiosity will not be less than the unknown creatures they are tracking.

You know, after he was introduced to a special department of the company, he even met Mr. Lu Cheng'an, the founder and chairman of Shenxing technology, who had little information from the outside world. However, this "good Mr." has always heard of his voice and never seen him.

However, Chairman Lu has told us that "Mr. Liang" is fully responsible for their department, and everyone should follow the instructions of "Mr. Liang".

Looking at Dr. Fang, who was silent in front of him, group leader Li couldn't help but guess that these researchers working in the laboratory have not seen "Mr. Liang"?

But he will not ask at this time, because he is wearing communication equipment, and every word he says can be heard by Mr. Liang. If you ask about the unknown creature, you can say it is for your own safety. But to inquire about Mr. Liang, it is likely to cross the line, belonging to "information beyond the scope of authority".

Before the sun set, they found a very special "trace.".

It's half a footprint, and it's obviously a human footprint.

However, the relatively obvious trace is only the thumb edge, the rest has been blurred.

This is also because the footprints are covered by protruding rocks and weeds, which have not been completely washed away by previous heavy rains.

"Tell your people not to walk around. There may be footprints elsewhere." Dr. Fang immediately explained to group leader Li.

Group leader Li answered and informed the team members around by radio. Stand by and watch out for the situation around.

"Look at the footprints. It should have been a while." Group leader Li observed and said.

"Scan this footprint and go around to see if there are any other traces." Mr. Liang also ordered.

Although it seems that this is just an ordinary human footprint, it is a big doubt that it appears in the no man's land of Qinling Mountains.

What kind of person would walk barefoot in the mountains and forests?

Even if they are such a well-equipped and experienced team, it will take a lot of effort to get here. I'm afraid that no single tourist has the ability and courage to come here, let alone without shoes.

"Can it be a savage?" Group leader Li asked tentatively. By the size of the thumb on the footprint, he preliminarily judged that the owner of the footprints was a tall adult male.

Mr. Liang did not speak. Dr. Fang focused on scanning the footprints and did not answer.

In the past, to collect such footprints in the field, they would use liquid paraffin to do impression preservation. But now it doesn't have to be so troublesome. After scanning with a portable scanner, you can record the details of the footprints and restore them with a 3D printer.

After carefully and carefully taking pictures of the surroundings, several researchers began to shovel up the soil on the footprints and collect them back.

Walking barefoot in such a place, it is easy to leave body tissue residue.

Looking at Dr. Fang and several research institutes slowly searching around, trying to find more footprints and other traces, group leader Li was inexplicably excited.

If it wasn't for some unfortunate tourist who came here and broke his shoes and had to walk barefoot, it is likely that the owner of the footprints was originally living in the no man's land of Qinling Mountains.

Is the unknown creature they're looking for looks like a human being?

But in the video taken by the anchor, how was the wound on the dead boar caused?

Is it a bow and arrow?

So this is a wild man living in seclusion in the mountains and forests?

What's so special about this savage?

Group leader Li does not believe that "Shenxing technology" will spend so much money just to find savages. And from his previous several times with the team to carry out field missions to speculate, it must not simply look for savages.

"I hope that guy is still there."

Group leader Li checked the anesthetic gun used to deal with large beasts and tightened his tactical gloves.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, they also found several mud pits suspected of footprints, but they did not have a relatively complete shape like the previous footprints.

However, it also proves from the side that the footprints are unlikely to be left by tourists who have to wear out their shoes and have to go barefoot.

"Keep looking east." Mr. Liang gave instructions again.

A day later, at Mr. Liang's prompt, they found a cave on the cliff.

They first used the UAV to make sure it was safe, and then they prepared for more than an hour and slowly entered the cave from above.

Group leader Li was one of the three people who entered the cave. The space in the cave was not large and deep, and it was filled with a very complex odor. After confirming that there were only some animal remains in the cave, and there was no danger, he asked Dr. Fang to take people down.When Dr. Fang, who came down the rope from the cave entrance, released the protective buckle, group leader Li frowned and looked around the hole, wondering, "is this the nest of the wild man? How did he get in? " Obviously, under the instruction of Mr. Liang, he has subconsciously thought that this cave is the nest of the "savage" who left footprints.

Soon after Dr. Fang and several researchers entered the cave, they came to the conclusion that there were no fatal wounds found on the bodies of some birds and birds in the cave. They seemed to be running into the cave and waiting to die. Judging from the degree of decay, he died about half a month.

Dr. Fang and others did not make a detailed inspection here. After simply photographing and recording the situation of the scene, they put those corpses up and hoisted them onto the cliff through ropes.

"It's a little weird..." After wandering in the cave for a while, group leader Li felt more and more strange, because he did not find any trace of human life, even "savage".

Then he stopped in front of a corner inside the cave and used a tactical flashlight to illuminate the piece in the corner Wood carving?

"Dr. Fang, come and have a look at this."

Group leader Li did not dare to check directly, but called Dr. Fang, who was directing other researchers to bag the bodies of birds and birds.

After hearing the sound, Dr. Fang frowned and said, "what's this?"

She carefully inspected the surroundings to make sure that there was nothing abnormal, and then she picked up the wood carving with her hand in plastic gloves.

It is said to be wood carving, but it is actually very rough. It is obviously made of a piece of wood that is folded casually. It is only the size of a fist.

The lower part is the broken surface of wood, which is obviously broken directly by brute force rather than by tool sawing. The upper part is carved with a cartoon rabbit with a grin.

It can only be said that it is a rough blank without any polishing, and it doesn't look like it was carved with a special carving tool, but it seems to be "chiseled" with fangs, so the rabbit looks very strange.

"The savage? Is this the God it believes in "Dr. Fang, have you seen the shape of this rabbit before? It seems that I haven't heard of it. What kind of civilization's belief totem is rabbit

Dr. Fang shook his head, showed the wood carving in front of the camera, and slowly rotated so that Mr. Liang could see the whole picture.

"Bring it back." Mr. Liang did not make any judgment on the wood carving, but simply said.

After all the objects in the cave were packed and hung up, group leader Li and Dr. Fang also left the cave.

After returning to the top of the cliff, group leader Li used a flat panel to draw up a map. While he was making a follow-up search plan centered on the cave, he calculated that the supplies they were carrying could last several days. You don't have to worry about food and drink, but the energy of many devices, including small UAVs, is a problem. He was considering whether he would like to apply to Mr. Liang, send someone in from outside and bring in some necessary supplies.

After all, it seems that this time, it is likely that they are getting closer and closer to the unknown creatures they are tracking.

This is the first time that he has felt this way since he has been a field figure for so many times.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Liang suddenly said, "OK, withdraw back."

Not only group leader Li, but also Dr. Fang, who has been relatively reticent, subconsciously replied, "but we have found a clue..."

Mr. Liang also rarely explained a sentence: "it's very dangerous, you can't cope with it."

Dangerous?

Group leader Li looked at the equipment on his body and his subordinates. Even when he met wolves, they could easily deal with fierce beasts such as bears, lions and tigers. Even if we encounter a team of armed bandits, with their various equipment, we can find out the other party in advance, and we may not have to fight.

Why does Mr. Liang feel dangerous?

Why did he spend so much money asking them to investigate?

Or are they just investigating, or are there other teams that they don't know are really responsible for capturing unknown creatures?

Although there were many doubts in his heart, he did not ask again because he knew that Mr. Liang would not answer.

So after group leader Li and Dr. Fang assigned the task of how to carry the "samples" packaged in the cave, the team began to move in the direction that they recalculated and left the fastest.

In the evening, group leader Li was still skillfully arranging the guard and camping, and agreed with his deputy that he would get into his sleeping bag early after midnight.
