Chapter 209 Qiang Village


Chapter 209 Qiang Village

"Liaison officer of the intelligence department? Why is it at Panlong Airport?" Sun Hang was dumbfounded. "If I remember correctly, the contact point of the intelligence department should be located in the office building of the Management Committee, right?"

"Panlong Airport is the only airport in Lizhou City, and naturally it is also the air transport hub of Lizhou City... The liaison officer's task is to transport various collected samples of strange objects back to Chunming City by air, but no one expected that , as soon as he stepped into Panlong Airport, the entire airport was swallowed up by the sudden fireball. "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

"Does that liaison officer have a high authority level?" Sun Hang took a deep breath and asked.

"This is not too high." Yang Qi said, "But he should be aware of the local monster investigation activities in Lizhou City."

"Including those hunters who were sent out on missions but have not returned yet?" Sun Hang asked again.

Yang Qi nodded.

"What mission did those hunters perform?"

"I have to apply to the Disaster Management Committee for permission to access the files..."

"No need." Sun Hang interrupted her, "Just use my authority."

"Okay... I found it..." Yang Qi looked at the laptop on her lap and frowned, "How about... you'd better check it yourself?"

She handed the laptop to Sun Hang.

The screen was a twenty-seven-page action plan. At the front of the plan was a piece of drone detection data.

Two hundred and thirty kilometers west of Lizhou City is a mountainous area with extremely complicated terrain, where hundreds of Qiang villages are scattered. These Qiang villages maintain relatively primitive features and live a self-sufficient life in this mountainous area with no traffic.

As part of its jurisdiction, the Lizhou City Management Committee has also thought about allowing these Qiang people to move to the city. However, the Qiang people are unwilling to give up their homeland where their ancestors have lived for generations. There are only a few Qiang villages that have frequent interactions with outsiders. After the eternal night fell, they moved into the newly built resettlement area in the west of Lizhou City.

In order to prevent the Qiang villages left behind in the mountainous areas from freezing to death and starving to death, the Lizhou City Management Committee could only regularly send people to deliver grain, oil, coal and other supplies to these villages, and repeatedly persuade them to move into the resettlement areas and accept unified management. ……

However, the persuasion efforts had little effect...Those Qiang people who maintained their traditional way of life would rather gather together and shiver around a bonfire to keep warm than give up their village.

In accordance with the "Implementation Regulations for the Management of Qiang Inhabited Areas" of the Lizhou Municipal Management Committee, long-distance drones will regularly inspect these left-behind Qiang villages to ensure that there will be no serious incidents of freezing and hunger... However, just four days ago, , located in a Qiang village called "Liangshuigou", but the people in the entire village seemed to have evaporated, completely disappearing from the drone's field of vision.

Attached to the detection data are dozens of drone aerial videos and hundreds of photos. From these videos and photos, we can see that the buildings in Liangshuigou Village are in good condition, with no traces of damage, and there are no traces of damage inside the village. Seeing traces of battle or things like corpses and blood stains.

There are traces of an extinguished bonfire in the grain drying yard in the center of the village. In the corner of the grain drying yard, there are still a lot of firewood and coal cakes piled up.

The scenes in these photos are almost the same. Except that no one appears in the picture, there is nothing unusual about them.

"It looks like an entire village has disappeared." Zhulong commented from the side.

"There is plenty of fuel for heating... As for food, look at these photos." Yang Qi pointed to the screen and said, "The villagers still have bacon and corn hanging in front of and behind their houses, and there are even piles of corn in the yard. Few potatoes... It can basically be ruled out that the villagers left the village collectively due to lack of fuel or food.”

"If they leave the village, where can they go?" Sun Hang muttered, "Did they plan to come to Lizhou City, but ended up getting lost in the mountains?"

"Impossible." The old police officer who was driving said flatly. "To tell you the truth, there was a previous eviction operation in the mountain I drove into. All the villagers were dead-headed. , even if he refuses to come to the city, his beard has turned white! An old man even held up a cane to beat us, saying that even if they starved to death, they would die on the land left by their ancestors... He wanted them to leave the village en masse, unless we found a rope to tie them all up, and then tie them up one by one. Just carry it out!”

"Well, have you been to Liangshuigou Village?" Sun Hang asked.

"I've never been to Liangshuigou, but the attitudes of the villagers who stayed behind are basically the same." The old sheriff sighed, "In their eyes, violating the rules of the ancestors is more terrifying than being a monster... I don't know. What are they thinking... No matter how strict the rules are, how can anyone lose their life?"

"It is for this reason that the Disaster Countermeasures Committee determined that the collective disappearance of villagers in Liangshuigou Village may be related to strange objects." Yang Qi said, "Two days ago, Lizhou City sent a team of six hunters and four An investigation team composed of 25 investigators and 25 police officers went to Liangshuigou Village to investigate.”

"Two days ago?" Sun Hang continued to ask, "How long does it take to get from Lizhou City to Liangshuigou?"

"In the past, when roads were not built in the mountains, it would take at least three days and two nights to walk. But now that the roads have been built, it only takes half a day at most to drive." The old sheriff who drove the car recalled, "I remember that I went to a place called Shabaiping place, seven in the morning We set off after lunch and arrived at the destination at 12 noon. I ate some dry food in the car and then entered the village... The location of Liangshuigou is a little deeper than Shabaiping. I guess it will take more time. We’ll be there in half an hour.”

"In other words, this missing investigation team should have arrived at the investigation location on the day of departure?" Sun Hang's fingers moved lightly on the touch pad, "Why didn't Lizhou City report this situation in time?"

"You can report missing after being out of contact for more than 72 hours." Yang Qi explained at the side, "Now it only takes more than 50 hours to fully count."

"This investigation team is obviously in trouble...these officials are so rigid, do they have to follow the regulations?" Sun Hang complained unhappily, "What about the drones? Are the drones so rigid? Didn’t you take pictures of the convoy’s whereabouts?”

Before Yang Qi had time to answer, Sun Hang himself had already marked the relevant paragraphs in the report document.

According to the description in the document, the last time the investigation team's convoy appeared in the drone footage was four hours after departure, on a winding mountain road more than 60 kilometers away from Liangshuigou Village.

After that, the investigation team's convoy, like the villagers of Liangshuigou Village, completely disappeared from the world.

"Master." Sun Hang reached forward and patted the old sheriff's shoulder, asking, "Can we divert to Liangshuigou Village?"

"Ah? What are you talking about?" The old sheriff was suddenly startled, "Aren't you going to Panlong Airport? Why are you suddenly going to Liangshuigou?"

"The center point of this mysterious attack is not Panlong Airport at all... Liangshuigou is probably the only clue we have for investigation."

"This... I can't make the decision on this matter!" the old sheriff muttered, "You have to report it to the Lizhou City Public Security Bureau... No, the director and the others probably can't make the decision either. I'm afraid you have to report it directly to Lizhou City Public Security Bureau..." The state and city management committee even applied directly to the disaster response committee, and only they approved it. You Only then can I go to Liangshuigou..." "I use my authority to order the Disaster Response Committee to approve my application," Sun Hang said, "Okay, they have agreed. Master, you and this car have been temporarily mobilized by me. ...Speaking of which, we should have enough gasoline, right?”

"Ah? Are you planning to go now?" The old sheriff was completely dumbfounded. "We are the only ones in the car? And we don't want to make any preparations?"

Just a few seconds ago, the old sheriff received an order from his immediate superior, asking him to unconditionally obey all orders from the young man named Sun Hang in the car.

"That's enough. Do we need to make any preparations?" Sun Hang asked, "Everyone has their own things to be busy with. We are probably the most idle people in Lizhou City."

"Sun Hang, is your decision a little too hasty?" Yang Qi's tone revealed a hint of worry, "The investigation team sent by Lizhou City included six hunters, four investigators, and twenty Five heavily armed police officers...and we have no preparations now, not even a detailed action plan..."

"Yes, yes..." The old sheriff immediately answered, "To be honest, I only know how to drive, and I'm really not good at shooting or killing... We are in this car You don’t even have a gun... If you ask me, you might as well go to the city defense guard and borrow an armored vehicle and dozens of people... That’s at least safer!”

"People are more valuable than more. In the face of strange things, no matter how many soldiers the city defense guard has, it is meaningless." Sun Hang said, "As for the action plan... The action plan of this investigation team has been written for twenty years. Seven pages, it’s detailed enough...but is it of any use?”

"Then you have to at least give me a reason, right?" Yang Qi said, "From the beginning, I felt that you seemed a little abnormal...especially after knowing that there was a liaison officer from the intelligence department among the dead. Sun Hang, can you tell me, what is the connection between the fireball at Panlong Airport, the liaison officer who died, and the disappearance of the villagers in Liangshuigou..."

"If I say it's intuition, do you believe it?" Sun Hang turned his head and looked at Yang Qi seriously.

"..." Yang Qi bit her lip and looked at Sun Hang for several seconds before she breathed out forcefully, "Okay, I will believe you just once!"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Don't be so serious. In fact, it's not exactly intuition... but a sense of smell, the smell of memes." Sun Hang said.

"...Didn't you say you didn't detect any strange memes at the scene where the fireball appeared?" Yang Qi asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"How should I put it? Memes are very mysterious... You have been studying this stuff, so you should know better than me, right?"

"You continue."

"I don't necessarily need to be in close contact with it... Sometimes, I even just need to know that it exists, and I can connect this seemingly completely unrelated thing. This feeling, it's like It's like there's electricity in the brain. With a click, you can see an electric arc connecting some fragmented information into a string..."

"Isn't this just intuition?" the old sheriff who was driving couldn't help but said.

"It's different from intuition." Sun Hang emphasized again.

"Okay, okay, sir, everything you say is right..." the old sheriff said helplessly, "It's just that this driver, can you replace me with someone else... I will retire in two years..."


"Are you scared?"

"Are you not afraid? More than thirty people disappeared inexplicably, and we just ran into the mountains. Isn't that just delivering food?" the old sheriff said with a sad face, "I still want to retire peacefully... ”

"Let's do this. You park your car now and go back to the bureau to report. Just say that the task I gave you is to stay in Lizhou City to prevent the invasion of strange things." Sun Hang said, "Where is this car? I will drive it. Anyway, those mountain roads It can be found in the navigation software, so I won’t drive the car into a ravine.”

"Really?" the old sheriff asked, slamming on the brakes.

"Really, don't worry, I just pretended that I didn't hear those complaints you just made." Sun Hang opened the car door first.

"Thank you, thank you!" The old sheriff let go of the steering wheel with relief and jumped out of the car, "Then I'll leave first!"

"Yeah." Sun Hang nodded and took his place in the driver's seat.

The old sheriff walked a few steps, then turned back, took off all the electric batons and tear gas spray from his waist, and gave them to Sun Hang: "I don't know if these things can be used, but bring them with you." You’re right.”

"Thank you." Sun Hang took the equipment and threw it into the glove box.

"Huh? Why don't you get out of the car?" Sun Hang looked back at the three people sitting behind and asked.

"What do you mean?" Yang Qi was startled and asked.

"I mean, it's enough for me to go alone for this operation." Sun Hang tilted his head and glanced sideways at Yang Qi and the others, "You are all a burden to me."

"I don't agree!" Yang Qi hit Sun Hang on the back of the head. "Don't try to use your authority to suppress me. If you don't agree, you don't agree!"

"The acting is a bit poor." Zhulong also said with a smile, "You are worried about dragging us into danger, so you plan to act alone?"

"No, I really think you are a burden." Sun Hang said seriously.

Judging from Anna's special attitude towards herself, there is a high probability that she will not hurt herself... What's more, she also has the trump card of three apes, which can absolutely suppress Anna... But if Yang Qi and others are targeted by Anna , or if Anna uses this to blackmail herself, she may fall into a passive situation.

Sun Hang could not guarantee that the good luck of the fisherman and Yano would continue to Yang Qi and the others.
