Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 120

The convoy drove on the highway for a day, passed Lhasa to rest for a while, and continued to drive toward Jiangdang. He Luan sat in the blanket and looked at the clock. It was almost midnight now, and Shigatse was still more than an hour away by car.

The road is icy, and there are snow mountains and wasteland on both sides, so driving on this road will be relatively slow.There was a wall lamp in the carriage, not too bright, but just enough to illuminate an inch square area. He Luan was sitting next to a lamp, leaning against the window with a protective fence.

Except for Chen Wei who was on duty in the afternoon and had to sit at the door of the carriage to stand guard, he stayed beside He Luan all the time.Du Yu and Shang Pu knew them and often came to chat.Most of the people in the carriage were asleep, only the executive on the night shift remained keenly observant.

Shang Pu fell asleep next to Du Yu, but Du Yu was still awake, and he was on night shift.Quietly pulled out a blanket from the backpack and covered Shang Pu, the two of them were usually in a hurry, only at this time they seemed peaceful.

The car was clanging and rattling, but it wasn't really loud, but it was especially harsh in such a quiet atmosphere.Word came from the front that they must arrive in Shigatse tonight, which also meant that they had to drive overnight.

Look at Chen Wei next to him, he is sleeping with his head tilted on his backpack, and he does not forget to hold a gun in his arms when he sleeps.He Luan covered him with a thick coat, then sat next to him and worked on the computer.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Du Yu leaned against He Luan with his elbow, and spoke to him in a low voice, only the sound of Weng Wen's exhalation could be heard, "I'll keep watch at night, you can sleep peacefully, rest well, there's more tomorrow boil it."

He Luan smiled at him, and said in a low voice: "I still have some things to finish, and it will be fine in a while. You have worked so hard to watch the night, it's hard to bear."

He was typing quickly while talking, Du Yu was not interested in seeing what work he was doing, he propped up one leg, leaned his head on the fence and scanned the carriage boredly.There was a slight snoring sound in the carriage, and those picky and proud scholars were all curled up and fell asleep at this moment.

He Luan recorded the words from the tape recorder into the computer, and then imported the audio together. After he finished these, he went to look at a few photos. Du Yu caught a glimpse of it and leaned over, pouted and asked: "What kind of photo is this? It was taken like this .”

"Some...important photos." He Luan thought for a while and came up with a suitable adjective, "I took them in Tibet. There are so many strange things. I recorded them all with my camera."

Flipping through the photo collection, in the last one that popped up, Du Yu saw a dazzling red light and a huge black shadow in the middle.He thought this photo was spooky, so he couldn't help taking a closer look, feeling goosebumps all over his body: "What is this? Where did you take it? It's really crazy."

He Luan stared at the photo for a while, but didn't speak. He stopped flipping through the photo collection, because he knew the last one was weirder.After disconnecting the power and closing the computer, He Luan said flatly: "I didn't take it, this is an old photo."

Du Yu shivered, he felt cold for no reason, like a pair of cold eyes staring at him from behind, but it wasn't entirely because of the photo.Just as He Luan was putting the computer into his backpack, all the dim lights in the compartment suddenly went out.

The sudden darkness made He Luan's heart beat faster, and Du Yu also seemed terrified. When he was about to speak, a hand stretched out from behind and tightly covered Du Yu's mouth.

Startled, He Luan took a step to the side, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.Du Yu's eyes widened and he held the hand of the man behind him, and he was about to attack in a fighting position, when He Luan suddenly said with a faint light: "Teacher Jiangqu?"

"Hush." ​​A silent reminder came from behind Du Yu's ear, and there was a smell of tobacco leaves, and the hand covering his mouth was as rough as dry bark.

Only then did Du Yu's tense strings loosen, and he let go of his hand. Du Yu took a breath, and watched Teacher Jiangqu's figure move to his side. The carriage was very dark, and Jiangqu's skin was also very dark. merged with the darkness.

Neither of them dared to speak anymore, their hearts were pounding, and a sudden change made them realize that something unusual was about to happen—or had already happened.

People didn't seem to be awakened. He Luan went to see the two executives sitting at the door watching the night. They were still awake and their eyes were still bright.But none of them moved, and they didn't seem to be surprised by everything around them.

He Luan gestured to Jiangqu: Teacher, what happened?

Jiang Qu understood He Luan's meaning, he first reached out to touch the back of his waist, then raised his fingers to point to the two windows of the rear door of the carriage, arching his back like a taut bow.

He Luan followed Jiangqu's fingers, and then he felt as if a saw had been stabbed into his eyes, or a sharp knife full of barbs was cutting back and forth on his throat. At that moment, he almost wanted to collapse Call.

Outside the two windows of the rear door, on the black windows reflecting the headlights of the rear car, there were actually two pitch-black hands grasping.That hand was more than twice the size of a human hand, curled up weirdly, and was raking on the glass window, making strange noises of nails scraping the blackboard.

He Luan covered his mouth at once, his eyeballs trembled with extreme fear, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Chen Wei who was sleeping beside him, Chen Wei was wrapped in a blanket and a coat, sleeping soundly.Only then did He Luan feel relieved, he touched Chen Wei's cheek.

No one dared to speak, Du Yu put Jiangqu's arm and gestured twice: What is that?Why are you lying on the back of our car? !When did you get in the car?

Teacher Jiang Qu grabbed Du Yu's wrist with his backhand, with such strength that he almost crushed the bones. Du Yu withdrew his hand in pain, but Jiang Qu's twinkling eyes gave him and He Luan a warning look. Like a leopard on alert.

There was no sound in the carriage, and the snoring just now disappeared, and the silence was as dead as death, except for the roar of the engine when the car was driving.Jiang Qu made a gesture to get He Luan and Du Yu to stand behind him, and then unloaded the two silencer guns from his waist. He always maintained a fighting posture, which Du Yu was familiar with - a common attack used by time bureau executives one of the poses.

The two hands outside the car window were still moving, as if someone was lying on the outside and twisting their body. The lights of the car behind were extremely bright. At a certain moment, He Luan suddenly saw the real appearance of those hands, not so much that they were hands, Rather, it was a lizard's claw.

What the hell is this motherfucker?

Suddenly, the hand twisted an arc to the side. Judging from the scratches on the glass, the nails on the hand must be extraordinary.Every time that hand moved, Jiang Qu's hand holding the gun tightened a little. At this time, the convoy was still moving forward steadily.

The hand completely moved away from the window, just when everyone thought that the thing had left, suddenly a human face appeared on the window reflecting the white light, under the human face there was a slender and soft neck, wriggling Peek into the car.

Both Du Yu and He Luan were frightened by the sudden appearance of the human face. Du Yu had already loaded the bullet at the same time, and pointed the gun at the window. As long as the monster outside dared to move, he would explode with one shot. its head.

He Luan knew that it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid at this time, and he would dream of this night again and again in his dreams a long time later, on a plateau as wild as 5 million years ago, outside the dark carriage A monster peeped in quietly.

He will also always remember the face of that monster, which was a distorted human face, slender and sharp, with the corners of the mouth wide open and raised from both sides, as if looking at someone who was smiling, with a creepy smile.

Many years later, his memory has been blurred, and he will understand that human beings cannot beat time. After all, he has not walked out of that night, and he has not escaped the silent evil laugh of that monster.

At this moment, the convoy suddenly slowed down, and there were street lights passing by outside.He Luan looked out in amazement, and saw the towering mountains on both sides, and at the foot of the snow-covered mountains, there was a road sign: Shigatse.

This is the high-speed exit, and they arrived in Shigatse.He Luan raised his wrist to check the time, it was one thirty in the morning.

At this moment, the lights of the car behind suddenly went out, and the thin light of the street lamps shone down. When I looked closely, the monster outside the window disappeared at some point, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness, as if nothing had happened. strip scratches.

The convoy did not stop and turned into the outskirts of Shigatse, which is still some distance from the city center, but they will not go to the city.The lights of the stars can be seen in the distance, indicating that there are still people living here, and the barren fields are full of desolation.

At this moment, Jiang Qu finally relaxed. He wanted to put the gun back on his waist, but he leaned forward uncontrollably. Du Yu supported him from behind, and Jiang Qu still knelt on the floor with his hands The gun also fell to the side.

The crisp sound of the gun landing woke Chen Wei up, and the gun slid right next to his head.After suddenly waking up, he straightened up and sat up, before he even opened his eyes, he was loaded with a slam, and He Luan hurriedly hugged him.

"It's okay, there's no danger." He Luan patted Chen Wei on the back, quietly hinting to Du Yu to help Jiang Qu to rest, "We've arrived in Shigatse, and the convoy will stay here for a few hours."

Chen Wei looked around the carriage with his eyes open, and the wall lights in the carriage suddenly turned on again.He saw that Du Yu was waiting for Jiang Qu to sit down. Teacher Jiang Qu seemed to be extremely tired, panting heavily on the seat with his head tilted.

"Teacher Jiangqu..." As soon as Chen Wei said it, He Luan motioned him to keep quiet, and then pulled the blanket over his head.

"Nothing happened, don't worry." He Luan rubbed Chen Wei's hair with a smile, "Go to sleep, you'll be fine after a short sleep, and you'll be on your way tomorrow."

He sat side by side with Chen Wei, using a thick padded jacket as a pillow. Chen Wei leaned closer to him, looked around vigilantly to make sure it was safe, and then fell asleep.He Luan closed his eyes sleepily, and looked at the window of the car door in a daze. Although there was nothing outside, there was always a strange smiling face in front of his eyes.

He thought about a lot of questions while he was half asleep and half awake, such as those two executives sitting at the door, they must have seen the monster, but why didn't they move?Another example is why the car behind with its headlights on all the time suddenly turned off when it turned off the high speed?Did the driver in the car see the monster that was behind the car?Another example is that monster, why did the convoy suddenly disappear after getting off the highway?

And the lights in the car that suddenly went out, who turned off the lights?And Teacher Jiangqu, has he ever seen such a monster?And that monster has been looking inside, what is it looking at?

......

He fell into a drowsy dream.

Fu Zhong returned to the room, at this time the coordinate device was advancing towards the unnamed mountain area.If Fu Zhong flew there, it would take about an hour.But according to the speed of the coordinate machine, it is estimated that it will take longer than an hour to get there, because it is necessary to detect and respond to possible dangers at all times.

He looked at the clock, set it up next to the computer on the desk, sat down, and drew the curtains.Fu Zhong inserted the memory and retrieved the information and found that the "2" contact also sent him an anti-tracking and anti-surveillance monitoring program. He was too hasty to pay attention just now.

This kind of service is really thoughtful, Fu Zhong thought to himself, he started to run the program, the data was locked with a double password, Fu Zhong decoded the file again, and then the document that jumped out was what he really wanted.

The rain outside was a little heavier, it should be windy, and Fu Zhong could hear the sound of the rain being blown onto the glass by the wind.The room was very dark, Fu Zhong didn't turn on the light, a pot of golden heather was placed on the cabinet, and the blue light from the computer was on his lips.

There is a lot of information, and Fu Zhong patiently looked at it from the beginning. He propped his chin, and the picture of the man on the screen was reflected in his eyes. He was very familiar with that face.The name column next to it has a name, but this column is irrelevant to Fu Zhong: Fu Yangxia.

From the year of Fu Yangxia's birth, that is, 1963, when the records began, three years later was a catastrophe.Strangely, no one in the family suffered in the catastrophe, as if there was a special policy to protect it.What is the reason, it is not shown in the information, and it is estimated that it cannot be found out.

The books he studied in Beijing have excellent grades since he was a child, and the level of detail of the materials can record how many deskmates Fu Yangxia changed when he was in elementary school.Fu Zhong looked at his father's past line by line, as if looking at a secret history.

Turning to the middle is what happened after Fu Yangxia was admitted to Northeast H University. From here on, something went wrong. There was a gap in time, and there was often no record for half a year or a year. It was obviously hidden intentionally. Fu Zhong marked it with a red pen out.

During college, Fu Yangxia was still very good, but his interpersonal communication and classmates' relationship were rarely mentioned in the materials, which is not normal.Fu Zhong also noticed that after graduating from university, Fu Yangxia suddenly went to the Southwest to join the army and was stationed in the Chengdu Military Region.

The Fu family is a military family, and the emperor held the Tiger Talisman under his hand. Most of the elders in the family are high-ranking military officials.The family tradition is to send their children to military schools, and they usually stay in the Beijing Military Region after they come out.

But Fu Yangxia seems to be an unusual person, he did not study in a military academy, but a comprehensive university.After graduating, he suddenly went to join the army in the Chengdu Military Region thousands of kilometers away. All of this was contrary to the family tradition. For this reason, the Fu family did not want to see him.

In Fu Zhong's generation, Fu Yangxia's alternative is more thoroughly reflected.He killed his father and became the patriarch of the Fu family. In 1996, he married a noble daughter of the consortium. The next year, he gave birth to a son named Fu Zhong, and even allowed Fu Zhong to enter the time bureau.

So the tradition of the Fu family joining the army as generals for generations ended here.

Seeing this, Fu Zhong paid attention to the time. The year Fu Yangxia joined the army was 1983. This young and rebellious young master of the Fu family had just turned 20 years old.

After that, there is Fu Yangxia's deeds in the military region, most of which are promotion records.Due to family reasons, Fu Yangxia's promotion speed is obviously much faster than ordinary people, and the sky is straight up.

It is not without reason that Qingyun went straight up, and Fu Yangxia was not a fried dough stick when he was a soldier, he had really been on the battlefield.The records of Fu Yangxia's missions were marked on the file, and Fu Zhong browsed through, only one record was particularly short.

"In 2008, went to Ali, Tibet to perform a mission, the details of which are unknown."

If the content is unknown, it means that it is definitely not simple. All the missions in the battle are recorded in detail, and only this one is mentioned.

Fu Zhong leaned on the chair, tapped his fingers on the table, the golden heather had a faint and strange smell.He glanced at the time, listening to the sound of the seconds moving, and the rain outside the window was getting heavier.

The notebook and fountain pen are on the left hand side. He moved the things over, spread them out, and folded his knees to record in the notebook: In 2008, he went to Ali, Tibet to perform a mission, and the content is unknown.

After writing, he rubbed the pen cap repeatedly on the sentence. He pinched his fingernails, leaving several months of teeth marks.The sound of rain falling made him a little annoyed, he flipped through a few sheets of paper, and saw his previous doodles and impromptu essays.

"The mountains are empty and the lake is quiet, leaving only the back figure that would never be mistaken among thousands of people."

"I met everything in the world tonight, but I won't meet you."

After reading it, Fu Zhong couldn't figure out how he could write such a poem, which didn't meet his wishes for Ji Yao.He pouted, closed the notebook, and continued to face his father's secret on the computer screen.

The time came to 2010. There was no record in this year, and there was another gap.Fu Zhong looked up and down, and indeed did not see any records about 2010, so he noted this strange phenomenon in his notebook.

2010 is a sensitive time, exactly 11 years from now.Fu Zhong thought of Ji Yao's father. Ji Yao once said that his father disappeared ten years ago, and he also couldn't find any information about that year, just like God reached out and erased a piece of history from the earth.

What the hell happened that year?Did the fathers of the two of them experience the same thing?

Fu Zhong didn't continue to look at it, he stared at a certain typesetting and frowned in thought, his eyes wandering up and down the year that was broken.He calculated the years and months in his heart, and calculated their respective ages, but they still couldn't get it, as if they couldn't see clearly through a layer of fog.

Something was missing, Fu Zhong thought, a key point was deliberately erased, but what is the key?

He swipe up the file, and the timeline switches back to when Fu Yangxia went to college. Fu Yangxia's college life is incomplete on this file.Fu Zhong wrote a memo on the paper. He felt that there must have been something Fu Yangxia tried to hide in college.

There is also the interpersonal network about Fu Yangxia, which is also a network with holes.Especially when he was in college, Fu Zhong instinctively realized who his father must have had close contacts with in college, but this person Fu Yangxia didn't want others to know.

Fu Zhong began to draw blank boxes on the paper, which were unknown puzzles.Fu Zhong tapped his temples, his brain ached from thinking, and he throbbed, the sound of the rain outside the window came into his ears like a lute, a bit monotonous.

Suddenly, a hidden memory flashed in my mind, flashing like a bolt of lightning.Fu Zhong thought of Colonel Hnikov, the invigilator stationed in Krasnorsk, when he took the flight test at the Lake Baikal base a few months ago.

At that time, the colonel said to him: "The first time I supervised the exam was ten years ago. Many Chinese executives also came in that year. One of them worked under me and was also surnamed Fu. I may have misidentified you two."

When Colonel Hnikov saw him, he looked surprised, as if he saw a familiar face.Fu Zhong didn't pay attention to it at the time, but thinking about it now, he felt that it was a thunderbolt that exploded in his mind.

Suddenly an alarm sounded in the room, Fu Zhong was startled, something happened outside.He re-encrypted the data and saved it, took out the storage device and put it in his pocket, picked up the combat uniform jacket next to him, put it on, and opened the door to go out.

Walking to the arc-shaped corridor of the combat cabin, Fu Zhong looked out through the glass. The large water curtain was misty, and in the greenery of the green hills, there were many giant eagles circling around the coordinates. , the gusts of wind beat the rain.

The walkie-talkie rang, someone from the command room, Fu Zhong pressed the headset and left the corridor.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, He Luan woke up from his sleep. He had no dreams all night and felt slightly dizzy when he woke up.His body was covered with a thick coat and blanket, and Chen Wei beside him was gone.

There were some people sitting in twos and threes in the carriage, all wrapped in clothes to keep out the cold. The winter morning on the plateau was too cold, and He Luan noticed that a thin layer of ice had formed on the glass.He heard someone's voice outside the car, sat up and followed the sound, and suddenly saw a figure squeezing in through the gap.

Chen Wei carried some highland barley tsampa in his arms, and He Luan could smell the burnt aroma of highland barley fried noodles, as well as the smell of ghee and sugar.

"Tsampa, I bought it from the stall owner who got up early after walking for a while. I held it in my arms, and it didn't freeze hard." Chen Wei breathed into the palm of his hand, rubbed it to keep warm, and then happily fed the tsampa to He Luan mouth, urging him to eat quickly.

He Luan took a bite, and the tsampa was indeed soft. Chen Wei sat cross-legged beside him, wrapping his black down jacket tightly around his body, without revealing the special forces uniform he was wearing underneath.

"Is there something going on outside? I heard a lot of voices." He Luan asked midway, and Chen Wei was drinking a pot of warm water and swallowing.

"He's dead." Chen Wei said in a low voice, "a soldier died. He died inexplicably. The body was dragged under the car. It was rotten and frozen like rotten meat. I went to see it, and it was disgusting. Yes, I didn’t watch it.”

There were not many people in the car, they were all academic experts, they didn't hear Chen Wei's voice.After He Luan heard this, he suddenly stopped eating tsampa. He tore off the blanket on his body, propped himself on the floor and stood up, Chen Wei couldn't stop him.

Several people who looked like officers were talking around an open space, and a few soldiers with guns stood beside them.He Luan broke away from the crowd and went inside to take a look. Du Yu was also there, staring blankly at a corpse on the ground.

The death condition of the corpse was extremely terrifying. He Luan suddenly felt sick when he saw it for the first time, and started to retch while holding on to the pillar next to him.Du Yu helped him for a long time before he recovered, and carried him to the car.

He Luan saw the appearance of the corpse clearly. The eyes of the deceased seemed to have been pierced in and cut to pieces with a saw. All the long strips of nerves were ripped out and lay ugly on the ground.A slit in the neck, the wound was caused by repeated cuts with a barbed knife.

It was a suffocating scene, He Luan's lips were pale, and his mind began to feel dizzy.

At this time, Teacher Jiangqu suddenly passed by, Jiangqu took a look from afar, then turned his back to smoke slowly, He Luan heard him say: "People are starting to die."
