Chapter 326 Storm in the Mountains
Shennongjia.
Boom——!
Low thunder sounded among the clouds, and several military off-road vehicles rushed through the muddy mountain road. In the dazzling bright beams of the car lights, the raindrops were like fine steel needles, hitting the windows and making a ticking sound.
"This is Car No. 1. We still have 700 meters to reach the temporary base. The weather is bad. Please pay attention to the surrounding environment."
On the off-road vehicle headed by the leader, a figure in the co-pilot pulled up the radio and spoke in a deep voice.
"Car No. 2 received."
"Car No. 3 received."
"Car No. 4..."
In the back seat of the vehicle, a figure in a white coat was frowning and staring at the dark mountain road outside the window.
"Yang Xiao, what are you thinking about?" A voice sounded from beside him.
"...No, it's nothing."
Yang Xiao came back to her senses and shook her head subconsciously.
His hands on his knees rubbed the joints unconsciously. His body did not lean on the back of the chair, but stood up stiffly.
The man next to him sighed, "Yang Xiao, don't be so nervous...it's just a meteorite exploration. I have participated in this kind of operation many times, there is no danger."
"Dr. Lu, I understand what you mean...but, this time is different."
Yang Xiao turned around. Under the undulating headlights of the off-road vehicle behind him, his face was uncertain. "When the meteor approached the earth, all the magnetic field indicators were confused. There are a total of twelve experiments involving magnetic field research in the world. room, the data detected in each building is different..."
"I know that some meteors will disrupt the geomagnetic field at close range due to their special structure. This is not unusual."
"No! Even if the earth's magnetic field is disrupted, it stands to reason that the data detected by each laboratory will not be much different. At most, it will be a time dislocation based on the movement of the meteor... But this time is different, each laboratory The data detected by the laboratory are abnormal and outrageous! It is definitely not the magnetic field fluctuation of the earth itself! "
Yang Xiao's Adam's apple rolled up and down. After a moment of pause, he stared into Dr. Lu's eyes and said seriously,
"In that... unknown thing, at the moment it passed... the Earth's own magnetic field overlapped with at least twelve other things... no, even more than that, we detected twelve, Just because we only have twelve such laboratories..."
"what?"
"Parallel time and space? Parallel universe? Dark matter creatures? Or some other world that we can't see. In short, there must be something passing by our world when it passes over our heads."
Dr. Lu was stunned. He seemed to have remembered something and looked away silently.
"Dr. Lu, you are an expert in astrophysics. You should have noticed something strange, right?" Yang Xiao stared at him closely, "That was definitely not a simple meteor. Otherwise, you wouldn't have treated us like this." People gather together…”
Just as Lu Xun was about to speak, the vehicle slowly stopped, and beams of flashlight light flashed outside the window, as if someone was approaching.
A tall figure wearing a black raincoat and a gun hanging on his chest came out of the rain and knocked on the car door.
"Dr. Lu, Dr. Yang, it's time to get out of the car."
"...Let's go." Lu Xun took out the umbrella under the seat and opened the car door.
The place where the vehicle stopped was a forest area, and the outline of the continuous mountains in the distance was hidden in the darkness. In the rain, they looked like countless giant beasts crawling on the earth, coldly watching these outsiders who broke into nature.
Yang Xiao held up an umbrella and walked quickly towards the distance through the mud. People in several off-road vehicles behind him also got off one after another.
The wind and rain in the mountains were very strong, and the umbrella could not cover it at all. Yang Xiao's face and hair were wet by the rain after walking a few steps. As he wiped the rain in front of his eyes, the shout of an officer beside him rang out in the roaring thunder. :
"Put your umbrella away!! The wind is very strong in the mountains at night! Holding an umbrella will blow you away! The deep forest in the dark is very dangerous! It will be difficult for us to find you if you get lost!!"
After hearing this, everyone could only put away their umbrellas and let the cold icy rain hit them, soaking their clothes and shoes.
Fortunately, not long after they left, spots of light lit up in the distance. They were dozens of camouflage tents set up in the forest. They were surrounded together, and the fabrics of the tents were flying in the wind, making a rustling sound.
Everyone walked straight into one of the tents and temporarily escaped the wind and rain, but they were already soaked in the rain.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way." A figure came forward and handed out dry towels to everyone.
"I am the person in charge of this exploration, Wang Xinye."
"Mr. Wang, we meet again." Lu Xun wiped his face with a dry towel and breathed a sigh of relief, "How is the situation now?"
"The first team to detect the situation is still out of contact. It has been eight hours... It has been two hours since the second team set off, and there has been no response either."
Lost contact?
Hearing these two words, someone behind Lu Xun turned pale.
"Dr. Lu, didn't you say you were just exploring meteor fragments? How...how could you still lose contact?" A scientific researcher with slightly curly hair couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe there is some component in the meteor that will cause electromagnetic interference. This is normal." Before Lu Xun could speak, a female doctor calmly replied, "Dr. Wu, don't make a fuss."
"Am I making such a fuss? Dr. Su, didn't you see that everyone here is carrying a gun?" Dr. Wu's eyes widened.
"Exploring meteors, when did we need to alert the military?"
"Okay, okay, this can't be blamed on Dr. Wu... I didn't explain it clearly to him." Lu Xun sighed, "Old Wu, let's talk in private later."
"You...oh, okay."
Dr. Wu hesitated to speak.
Wang Xinye glanced at everyone, looked at the time, and said to Lu Xun:
"Dr. Lu, the weather is too bad now. This round of exploration needs to be postponed... You should take a rest in the tent area first and recharge your batteries. I will handle the rest."
"OK."
As Wang Xinye led the people to leave in a hurry, except for a few soldiers standing guard, there were only nine scientific researchers left in the tent. Lu Xun gave Dr. Wu a look, and the two of them walked out of the tent alone.
Others wiped away the rainwater, some talked to each other, and some walked to other tents, seemingly curious.
at the same time.
On the outskirts of the tent area where the heavy rain was pouring, a wet figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
He stood on a hill and saw several figures in white coats walking through the tent area. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you caught up..."
