Chapter 329 Alive
As the shutter made a light sound, this picture of light and shadow that will be passed down for hundreds of years was frozen in Chen Ling's hand. Except for Chen Ling, no one knew what this photo meant... and no one could imagine what kind of existence these nine people in the photo would become.
"Okay, let's go!"
None of the nine scientific researchers looked at the photo. At this moment, they only had the mysterious meteor fragment in their minds. The beauty or ugliness of the photo was not important at all.
After Chen Ling handed the camera to a military member, he quickly followed them.
Following the scientific research team into the mountain, there was also a special operations team of more than 30 people. They were equipped with the most advanced firepower weapons and communication equipment. They protected the nine people and Chen Ling in the center, and looked around with a serious look. All guns were loaded.
Chen Ling looked at the time. There were still three hours before the archive was disconnected.
As everyone went deeper, the bright tent area at the back gradually disappeared into the dark forest. The whimpering cold wind and the fine rain hit the transparent mask of the protective suit, and the vision was a little blurred...
Everyone was walking with their heads down, and the world was quiet except for
"Radio signal test."
In the dead silence, Lu Xun's voice suddenly sounded from everyone's mask, "Count in order of numbers."
"1."
"2."
"..."
"10."
After Lu Xun finished speaking, everyone counted one by one according to the number order of their protective suits. As a guide, Chen Ling's number was the last one, which was "10".
After confirming that everyone's signal was normal, Lu Xun spoke again:
"Everyone, pay more attention to your feet, be careful not to step on empty air or trip, and then listen to me..."
"According to satellite positioning, the location of the meteorite fragments is deep in the mountains five kilometers away from us. It is estimated to take two and a half hours to hike, but according to the situation of the first two teams, our communication with the outside world may fail after a maximum of 20 minutes of penetration, and it is uncertain whether the team's radio can be activated."
"No matter what happens, stay calm first, always pay attention to your companions in front and behind, and never get separated from the main force."
"Although it is important to detect various indicators around the fragments, your own safety is still the priority."
Perhaps the atmosphere in the deep mountains is too depressing. These scholars who have been immersed in scientific research for many years are a little uncomfortable at this moment. They are concentrating on looking at their feet. Only Su Zhiwei and another unfamiliar scientist replied with "received".
Chen Ling looked around through the mask, and did not see anything unusual in his vision...
He was also very surprised. The Red Star fragment was just a dead object. If so, how did the first two exploration teams disappear? If they got lost in the mountains, they wouldn't have stayed out for so long?
Everyone walked forward in silence and vigilance. During this process, Chen Ling would take out his mobile phone from time to time to confirm the time.
This time, he confirmed not the time when he was offline... but the time when the team lost contact.
According to Dr. Yi's oral account, Jiujun's scientific research team lost contact with the outside world ten minutes after starting the exploration, which means that something must have happened at this critical node of ten minutes.
"Director Chen, do you have any urgent business?"
Lu Xun, who was walking beside Chen Ling, saw the screen of his mobile phone light up repeatedly and asked in confusion.
"... No." Chen Ling shook his head, "I just want to confirm whether the signal with the outside world is cut off."
Lu Xun was even more confused, "In such a deep mountain, the mobile phone should have no signal, right? Director Chen, what kind of mobile phone do you have? Is the signal so good?"
Chen Ling:...
Chen Ling was about to continue making up stories, but suddenly seemed to sense something and stopped.
Buzz——! !
Half a second later, a sharp buzzing sound came from everyone's masks. The radio seemed to be alive and screaming wildly. It was not the "howling" when the microphone and the speaker collided. It was a sharp sound with fluctuations and changes, like the device was wailing.
Everyone covered their ears painfully at the same time, and blood oozed from their ears. Chen Ling slapped the mask at the first time and cut off the power of the headset, but others were not so good.
This sharp sound seemed to penetrate the soul. Everyone was in so much pain that they couldn't think at all, let alone react to turn off the headset. Seeing this, Chen Ling took off their masks without hesitation and threw them to the ground beside him!
"Shoot!" Chen Ling shouted to the gunman next to him, "Shoot at the radio!"
Chen Ling's shouting made several of them come back to their senses. In a daze, they subconsciously pulled the trigger!
Dadadadada——
Tongues of fire spewed in the dark night, dazzling sparks splashed on the ground. After only a few seconds of strafing, all radio equipment was scrapped, and the sound that seemed to pierce the soul also stopped abruptly.
But even so, everyone was bleeding from all seven orifices... Strangely, the nine scientific researchers who didn't exercise much on weekdays had the mildest symptoms. Among the well-trained special forces, several people had been shocked into coma.
"Damn... What was that just now? Electromagnetic whistling?" Lu Xun wiped the blood from his nose and spoke hoarsely.
"No, it's definitely not." Yang Xiao looked at the scrapped communication equipment on the ground, his face solemn, "Usually, the whistling is due to the positive feedback of the electrical signal cycle. It stands to reason that the frequency will not fluctuate on a large scale... The sound just now is definitely not caused by this principle."
"What was that?"
"I don't know, but it must be some kind of extremely special magnetic field... Deep in the woods, there is a powerful and special magnetic field source that continuously affects all communication equipment, and this magnetic field changes like a living thing. , like...like roaring."
After all, Yang Xiao was an expert in magnetic fields. Even though his orifices were bleeding from the shock, he still calmly analyzed the cause of the phenomenon just now.
Chen Ling looked coldly at the remains of the communication equipment on the ground. He knew that Yang Xiao was right.
Today's Yang Xiao is not Aurora Lord, so he naturally has no ability to sense magnetic fields. However, the second before the electromagnetic roar occurred, Chen Ling clearly noticed a strange electromagnetic wave... The most important thing is that even if he can sense it to a certain extent, Even though he controlled electromagnetic induction, he couldn't erase this roar.
Deep in the woods, there is something that is constantly emitting a terrifying, living magnetic field!
Wu Yuanyuan, who was walking at the back, turned pale with fright. He tremblingly stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face. His hands were covered in scarlet, and he immediately suppressed his scream:
"It's that meteor fragment!!"
"It must be that meteor fragment...it's alive! It's alive!!"
