Chapter 49: After the catastrophe

Chen Ruixi and Wang Juan were trembling on the platform, the air seemed to be getting colder and colder, the roar at the bottom of the lake had not stopped for a long time, and the huge haze had already covered the entire mountain. The two stood on a cliff more than ten meters high, but the soles of their feet seemed to be stepping in clouds.

Half of the valley was already submerged in a sea of ​​smoke. When the thick fog wall encountered the river, it seemed to be blocked by something. Only a thin layer was left soaked across the river, wandering slowly in the quiet mountain village.

Chen Ruixi couldn't help but hug Wang Juan tightly in front of her chest. Wang Juan did not resist at this time, but Chen Ruixi had no idea in her heart. With the clear moonlight, she saw the pointer on the watch stop at 3 o'clock.

As the early morning approached, under the light of dawn, the strange noise at the bottom of the lake gradually subsided, the fog began to slowly rise and disappear, and the villages shrouded in the mist gradually became clear again, and the fog walls across the river seemed to be suddenly boiled. After a violent rise, they gradually became thinner and dissipated.

When the first rooster crow in the village sounded, the vitality at the foot of the mountain had recovered, but the morning fog was much heavier than before.

The grass under her feet was covered with dewdrops, and the sun was shining on her body warmly. Chen Ruixi and Wang Juan finally felt the heat on each other, and everything was like a dream. The two supported each other and walked down the mountain tremblingly.

The two of them became more and more frightened as they walked. The bodies of various small animals died on the hillside. Wang Juan began to sob in a low voice, and Chen Ruixi was also feeling shivered.

After seeing a python corpse with a twisted wrist, Wang Juan finally couldn't help crying.

Chen Ruixi supported Wang Juan, who was crying, and comforted her mouth while walking downwards with deep and shallow feet.

After seeing the next scene, Wang Juan, who suffered in the middle of the night, finally reached its limit and collapsed.

Qin Ruilin's twisted body was hundreds of meters away from the cliff. He crawled on the ground, but his neck was twisted at a strange angle, his eyes wide open, staring at the sky with fear.

Not far from him was Jin Xia's body.

Wang Juan shouted, her eyes rolled and fainted.

...

Chen Ruixi's lazy and calm voice became nervous and trembling at this moment, and his breathing became rapid. Even when watching on the surveillance screen, everyone could still feel the creepy feeling.

Director Jin stood up with a calm face, walked towards the interrogation room, and soon appeared on the screen.

On the screen, Chen Ruixi was lying half-lying, still muttering: "I turned around and ran away when I was scared. After a while, I thought of Wang Juan, so I went back to drag her back to the top of the mountain..."

"Wang Juan was scared crazy. She didn't eat or drink all day and said nothing. We stayed in the tent for two days and two nights and didn't dare to go down the mountain. Later, after eating, I was so hungry that I was so hungry that I dragged Wang Juan down the mountain in the dark..."

When Professor Zhang saw Jin Guoqiang coming in, the pen in his hand stopped rotating and said in that special voice, "Okay, I know everything. Needless to say, wake up!"

The last three words seemed to be magical. Chen Ruixi stopped abruptly like a recorder with a stop button suddenly pressed, slowly sat upright from the chair, as if he had just woken up, looking at Jin Guoqiang with a dark face at the door in confusion.

Jin Guoqiang called on the guards outside the tent to take Chen Ruixi away.

Professor Zhang and Jin Guoqiang looked at each other, and the two walked out without saying a word. After a while, they came to the command center together.

The general nodded, "Professor Zhang is indeed extraordinary, and he can even hypnotic such a skill."

Professor Zhang said, "Where is it, the trick of carving insects. The most urgent task now is to organize a team to search the mountains and find the whereabouts of Jin and Qin. I think this secret may be hidden in the lake on the top of the mountain."

The general said, "Okay, Xiao Jin, you can draw two teams to search the mountains immediately."

He hesitated and said, "Take military doctors and technicians with you, be sure to protect their safety, pay attention to keeping evidence, and report it immediately when encountering dangers - cancel the radio silence."

"Notify peripheral personnel and reduce the alert status."

...

A series of orders were issued, and all kinds of radios immediately rang out. Jin Guoqiang deployed personnel through walkie-talkies, and the command center was busy and well organized.

Professor Zhang said, "I want to participate in this mountain search operation myself."

Zi Yang and Lao Wang also expressed their gratitude and joy with the professor. Seeing that these people were very determined, the general finally agreed to their request. This group of people was organized with Jin Guoqiang and Alpha team.

The special forces acted quickly. As soon as the order was issued, everyone was on standby in a few minutes.

The team is now divided into two groups, and they are heading towards the Broken Soul Peak - Tianding Lake from two directions.

Although the heavy equipment and equipment are all on the special forces, Zi Yang and Lao Wang are still unable to keep up with the speed. Thinking that they are carrying dozens of kilograms of combat equipment, they not only admire these people's physical fitness.

Halfway through the mountain, Professor Zhang was a little older after all, and gradually felt a little difficult. Jin Guoqiang ordered to rest on the spot, and the other teams continued to advance - without the bonds of these people, the entire team's movement speed immediately accelerated a lot - it turned out that they were still waiting for them just now.

After more than ten minutes, a sound came from the walkie-talkie. Beta's team found an unknown female corpse and a male corpse, with coordinates xxx.xxx.

Everyone looked at each other and found it.

A few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain were two bodies more than ten steps apart. When the professor and his group arrived, a cordon had been set up around him. The staff were collecting evidence and taking photos on the spot. There were signs with numbers scattered on the ground.

Zi Yang looked carefully and saw several fully armed special forces soldiers scattered around to watch. Although the alert level was lowered, the people still painted oil paint on their faces, put their fingers on the trigger, and their eyes were alert to patrol around.

After obtaining the consent of the evidence collector, everyone was able to enter the cordon and observe the two bodies at close range.

Beneath a big tree, a young woman was wearing a fiery red sportswear on her upper body and white sportswear on her lower body. She curled her legs under her body. She grabbed the clothes on her chest tightly with her left hand and supported her right hand on the ground and grabbed a piece of grass mud. Her long black hair hung down to cover her face.

A male corpse was lying prone to a dozen steps behind her, wearing a black sportswear, her neck seemed to be broken and twisted strangely, and one hand reached towards the female corpse, her whole body was convulsed and twisted.

After the forensic doctor took photos, marked them, and took the test products around him, a military doctor wearing gloves stepped forward and lifted the hair of the female corpse. A beautiful face appeared in front of everyone, with her eyebrows frowned and her face turned blue. From the perspective of her limbs, she seemed to have experienced a lot of pain before her death.

Lao Wang sighed heavily from the side. What a pity, such a beautiful girl actually died in this wilderness.

After examination, the forensic doctor on the scene came to a preliminary conclusion that the cause of death was the same as that of the animals at the foot of the mountain, and it was unknown.

Judging from the characteristics of the corpse surface, both of them seemed to have experienced painful struggles before their death, especially the male corpse, whose body was spasm and one hand was inserted into the soil under them.

Professor Zhang silently watched the staff busy, and asked softly: "Can the time of death be confirmed?"

A young military doctor in his thirties replied, "It was around 2:30 am on x day."

Lao Wang nodded pretendingly and said, "Well, it's half an hour earlier than the collective death at the foot of the mountain. It seems that the factors that caused the deaths of the two are the same as those of the villagers."

Then he looked at the military doctor with admiration and said, "Master, I heard from the teacher that those old masters with high Taoism do not need instruments. Just by changing the characteristics of the corpse surface, you can accurately infer the exact time of death of the corpse, and the error is no more than 1 hour."

The military doctor said modestly: "It depends on the length of time. If it is too long, it cannot be so accurate. The changes in the corpse within twenty-four hours of death are the most obvious, and it can be accurate to minutes... Judging from my experience, although these two corpses die for more than two days, the difference between them will not exceed 10 minutes."

Professor Zhang nodded, then his eyes met Jin Guoqiang. The two of them looked at the top of the mountain at the same time, causing the culprit of the strange death in Qinhan Village to be above.

For safety reasons, Jin Guoqiang first sent a group of team members wearing biochemical suits to survey, confirming that there was no problem with air quality and atmospheric radiation, and then notifying the people below to go up the mountain.

At the moment, some people left behind to deal with the bodies, while others climbed the mountain under the leadership of Jin Guoqiang.

Not only did everyone frown when they climbed to the top of the mountain, but the dark blue lake in Chen Ruixi's mouth did not appear. The lake water in front of him turned yellow and orange, as if it was as turbid as being washed by the mud.

At the pass near the hillside, several big trees have yellow branches and leaves, which have a bleak atmosphere of autumn and winter in the north. Most of the vegetation near the lake on the shore is yellow. However, some trees on the high ground are still green and green, forming a strong contrast between the upper and lower parts.
