Chapter 239 Conversation in the Forest
By the time Oko and Horii came out of the town hall, Chiba Makoto had almost asked what happened. The four children did not dare to return after playing a prank on the victory team. A small town, so I flew a kite in the open space outside the town.
After playing for a while, they heard the roar of the monster and saw the white smoke drifting away. So the four of them were so frightened that they ran back and reported the sighting of the monster to the victory team. .
Dagu and Horii also found out clearly that the town was shrouded in heavy fog a few days ago. After the fog dissipated, people were surprised to find that all the plants had withered, so the town Rumors were spreading, and Mayor Yamada wanted to quell the rumors, so he quickly notified the victory team to investigate.
Horii said with certainty: "The withering of the plants must be due to the acid fog. As for the cause of the acid fog, it should be related to the terrain here, especially the two tunnels where so many cars gathered. There must be a reason for the exhaust.
When I go back to do an analysis, find the problem, and solve it, there will be no more acid fog in the town, and everything will return to normal. "
Xiong Ye whispered: "But we clearly heard the sound of the monster. "
"Maybe."
Every time Horii finished speaking, Chiba Makoto said: "I'm going to go to the place where they heard the monster's sound. Maybe I can find something. Discover. "
Dagu hurriedly said: "I also want to take a look, it would be better to find out. ”
"We too"
"No, fighting monsters is a matter for adults. Children, please go home." Chiba Cheng refused without hesitation, and then slowed down his voice and said: "It is very dangerous to encounter monsters. Yes, think about it, we can run away from a monster that is tens of meters tall, but how about you? It’s just a joke.”
After all, he promised to give each of them a photo of Tiga that he had taken before, so that the four children stopped clamoring to go with them, but Chiba Makoto didn’t want to at all. Take them with you. Fighting monsters is not just a game. If you are not careful, someone will die.
The four children stood on the side of the road, pouting and watching the two cars leave. The eldest Yuya muttered: "Treat us as children again, I have grown up."
The two cars drove out of the town in tandem. I have to say that this town is developing well. Although the road leading out of the town is narrow, only two lanes, it has been hardened with asphalt. Can make the vehicle speed up.
After a while, we arrived at the place where the children were flying kites. However, there was an electric maintenance vehicle parked next to the power tower. There were several broken high-voltage transmission lines hanging on the ground. It was obvious that there was a big problem with the wires.
A worker was calling to report the situation here. A worker came over carrying a kite and said very unhappy: "It must be the children in the village who are flying kites here again. I have said so many times. Sorry, don't fly kites here , it’s fine this time, all the wires were broken.”
Horii got out of the car and looked at the broken high-voltage wires and the kite in the workers’ hands, and said with sudden realization: “I understand, they must have broken in.” It was a disaster, so I made up the lie about the monster in an attempt to "
"Not necessarily," Chiba Cheng approached the transmission tower, stared at the pitted marks on the surface, and said, "Look at this transmission tower, there are traces of strong acid corrosion on the surface, and I think there are also traces of strong acid corrosion on the broken wires. There should be, I think those children saw it The white smoke is probably acid mist. "
Horii took a closer look and saw that there were indeed traces of corrosion on the transmission tower. Although they were dense, they were very inconspicuous. He was surprised. Could this guy be so far away? Can you see the surface of a transmission tower from a distance?
But Horii still has doubts: "It is possible to corrode and break such a thick wire even if it is immersed in fluoroantimony sulfonic acid (10^19 times stronger than 100% concentrated sulfuric acid). But the village appeared a few days ago. If the acid fog is really that strong, we probably won’t even be able to see this village.”
< br>Chiba Makoto spread his hands and said: "This requires your victory team to find the reason. I am just a reporter here to interview." Horii mumbled a few words, took out the sampling box from the Dram car, and started collecting Samples were taken back for analysis, and Dagu stepped forward to ask the workers, had there been any traces of corrosion on the power tower before? There are also questions such as whether you have heard strange screams.
Chiba Makoto turned his gaze to the direction where the four children said the white smoke was rising. There were continuous mountains, some high and some low. There are withered trees everywhere, no greenery at all, and it looks quite desolate.
Chiba Makoto took out the camera and tripod from the trunk. His motorcycle could not go on this rugged mountain road, so he had to use his legs to measure.
Oko was chatting with the workers. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chiba Makoto walking into the forest with a backpack and a camera. He hurriedly said: "Team Horii, you collect samples here, and I'll go over there and take a look."
“Dagu, where are you going? Huh?" Horii asked quickly, but when he saw Dagu running towards the mountain where he couldn't even see the road, he immediately waved his hand and said: "No problem, I will collect samples here." He is a difficult climber. Hu', it's better to stay on the ground and collect samples safely.
Oko, who abandoned Horii without any regrets, caught up with Chiba Makoto in a few steps and said: "I will go with you, in case there is a monster"
"We will hurry up Run."
"Huh?" Dagu was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to say, "You go first, I will lure the monster away."
"Isn't it?"
"You're right!"
"."
The two of them walked and chatted together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. , but Chiba Makoto actually felt very awkward. When he met Dagu before, there were basically other victory team members. This is the second time he has been alone with Dagu (the master), and the environment is not like last time. Not suitable for conversation.
Obviously I feel that I have done nothing wrong, but I feel an inexplicable guilty conscience.
Dagu is also observing Chiba Makoto. This boy, who is a few years younger than him, should be the most awesome person he has ever met. He is always involved in various incidents, such as monsters, People from the universe and even monsters and ghosts have been seen all over.
Forget about passively facing them, he actually took the initiative to find these non-human beings, just like now. He knew that there might be monsters in this mountain, or at least weird things, but he could still hold the camera excitedly Running in, the reporter did this job, which really engraved the word "dedication" in his bones.
"Aren't you afraid of monsters?" Dagu asked this question sincerely. Although he is a member of the victory team, he is still a little scared in his heart, but it is his duty. After all, if they even escape the victory team If so, whoever kills the monster will save the earth.
“It’s scary, but the way to defeat fear is to face it.”
“What you said makes sense.”
