Chapter 30 Longshan
Lin He drove an old black jeep on the winding mountain road. Jiujiu sat in the back of the car, with potato chips in one hand and large bottle of Coke in the other hand. His mobile phone was placed on his legs. He heard the Yingzhou language that Lin He could not understand.
"What are you looking at?" Lin He asked curiously.
"Anime," Jiujiu smashed the eyes, staring at Lin He carefully, trying to confirm whether his direct leader was also a second-dimensional enthusiast.
"Oh," Lin He replied. He actually couldn't understand the things of young people. Since he graduated from the Superior College, he has been traveling everywhere and has almost no time for himself.
After failing to try to open a topic, Lin He didn't know how to open a new topic, so he opened the windows on both sides of the cab and lit a cigarette.
The convective cold wind blew the smoke all over. At this time, Lin He noticed that Jiujiu's clothes seemed a little thin, so he asked.
“Will it be cold?”
"Ah?" Jiujiu was a little confused, and then she immediately reacted.
She was still wearing a red jacket today, wearing a white chiffon shirt inside, and a pure white sweater inside the chiffon shirt. There was no problem in keeping warm on her upper body.
As for the lower body, she looked at her lower body outfit, light-colored denim hot pants and pure white pantyhose.
She blinked as Lin He watched him look at him.
"This is not cold at all, it's super warm!" As he said that, he pinched his pantyhose and pulled it up, highlighting a thick layer.
"Well," Lin He nodded, and changed his subject, "We may have to enter the mountain later. Are you afraid of being dirty when wearing this outfit?"
"It's okay," Jiujiu smiled sly and took out a pair of jeans from her schoolbag next to her. "Dangdangdang! I brought jeans and just put them in when I go up the mountain later!"
"You've prepared quite well." Lin He responded with a smile, sucked the cigarette in his mouth and put it into the ashtray in the car.
It was actually quite tiring to drive on the winding mountain road, and I needed to keep my attention focused. Just as Lin He was about to continue to return to his attention, the sound from Jiujiu's phone suddenly stopped.
"Oh, why is there no internet?" Jiujiu's confusing voice came from behind.
Lin He noticed a little raindrop fell on the front windshield of the jeep, and then almost instantly, the raindrops completed the transition from slow to rapid. The huge raindrops fell from the sky, slapped on the car and on the road, making a banging sound.
"Brother Lin, it's raining. It's so heavy. Will it rain so heavily in the mountains in winter?" Jiujiu looked out the window strangely.
"It won't rain so heavily in the mountains in winter," Lin He took a deep breath and asked, "Jiujiu, call the foundation."
Jiujiu took out her cell phone and called the foundation's emergency number, but she hung up as soon as the phone was dialed. Then she looked at Lin He, "The phone number cannot be called, there is no signal at all."
"There is a satellite phone under the back seat of the car. Take it out and call the foundation to try." Lin He slowed down the car and turned around and walked back directly.
"Okay!" Jiujiu also realized that something was wrong, so she fumbled under the seat and pulled out a box containing a satellite phone.
There was only one number on the phone, so Jiujiu dialed it directly.
"Hey, this is the Baicheng branch of the Foundation, Lin He?" The phone call was quickly connected, and Zhou Ya's voice came from there.
"Zhou Ya, we are in trouble. Tell the guard that the seal of Longshan may have been fully mature." Lin He said loudly.
"Hey? Linhe? Longshan's seals... what... what... listen... no... Qing..."
Then there was a rustling sound from the phone, and soon there was no sound at all and the connection was disconnected.
"Brother Lin?!" Jiujiu looked at Lin He.
"It's okay," Lin He turned his head at this moment and kicked the accelerator, "Hait up the seat belt, let's go back!"
Jiujiu quickly pulled off the seat belt on her seat. Soon, for the first time in her life, she experienced what life and death meant to be on the front line, and she was racing rapidly.
Heavy rain, mountain roads, downhills, and almost no limit speed. There were several times when the jeep had already hit the guardrail when turning, and the body and guardrail were hanging out and shining sparks were shot out.
"Brother Lin" Under such a violent bump, Jiujiu felt that the supper she had eaten yesterday was about to be poured out.
"Listen to my orders and don't be distracted." Lin He suddenly shouted.
Not far ahead, the place where it was originally a road, collapsed at some point. A huge hole appeared in front of him. With Lin He's roar, Jiujiu also noticed this huge hole.
"I count three, two, one, you will give the wind, did you hear it?" Lin He shouted immediately.
"I heard it!" Jiujiu responded loudly.
"good!"
Lin He stepped on the accelerator to death.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"wind!"
The jeep rushed out of the broken road and rushed to the broken road at an extremely high speed, but even if it maintains such a fast speed, the jeep was much worse to reach the road at the other end.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, mixed with a lot of rain hitting the back cover and chassis of the Jeep, giving the Jeep a new thrust.
A few seconds later, the front wheel of the jeep fell on the road, and the whole car went on the road.
The moment the car landed, Jiujiu's tense spirit was relaxed, and the sweat directly soaked her inner sweater. She leaned against the seat and gasped heavily. Even though the vehicle was still driving at high speed, she had no time to take care of these.
"Girl, it's very good." Lin He cast a complimentary look through the rearview mirror.
Jiujiu cracked the corner of her mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and her face was filled with joy of surviving the disaster. "I can brag for the rest of my life."
But soon, Lin He's brakes called her back from joy.
Directly ahead of them, landslides occurred, and soil and huge stones covered the entire road.
"You might have to put on your jeans," Lin He untied his seat belt, climbed from the gap between the chief and co-pilot to the back seat, and found a set of raincoats from behind the rear seat to throw them to Jiujiu, "It's a bit big, you'll just wear it."
Then he found another set and put it on his own.
Jiujiu took apart the raincoat in her hand. It was very new, with a little plastic smell. She also put herself in in a few seconds. The raincoat was a bit big, and it looked a bit bulky and bloated when worn by Jiujiu, who was 1.5 meters tall, but she could barely walk.
Lin He opened the car door and got out, and Jiujiu also got out.
"How long can you use the wind to support you?" Lin He asked.
"If I am the only one, I will have to rest for at least half an hour in two hours before I can continue to use my ability," the huge hood covered Jiujiu's little face with only one mouth. She tweeted upwards, revealing her eyes to look at Lin He.
"Where is the speed of the hour?" Lin He asked.
"The fastest one can reach about sixty kilometers," Jiujiu pondered for a moment, "if you keep it for a long time, you will be almost forty kilometers per hour."
"It's OK," Lin He nodded, then pointed to Baicheng's direction, "Now your task is to go back and tell the foundation that there may be any abnormality in Longshan, which is suspected to be a level 4 mature seal. The seal has the ability to interfere with electrical signals and control rainfall."
"Brother Lin, where are you?" Jiujiu asked subconsciously, "I'm the two... too..."
"No need," Lin He waved his hand and walked back step by step in his raincoat. "You can't take two people away quickly. Now all we need is to send the news back to the foundation as soon as possible, and,"
He raised his head and looked deep in the forest, "There are dozens of families in this mountain. I still need to confirm their situation and collect more information about seals. I originally wanted to send you to the foot of the mountain, but now it's up to you."
"Brother Lin..." Jiujiu's eyes were a little wet, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
"Don't cry, I'm not going to die," Lin He interrupted. "I will survive, so do you. You must try your best to survive and bring the news."
Then he paused, "If I was indeed gone, I would write the information about the seals I received next in my notebook with me."
Then he looked at Jiujiu with a cold expression, "Go now! This is an order!!"
"Yes!" Feng Puli raised Jiujiu's body, tears mixed in the rain, slowly sending her to the foot of the mountain.
Lin He didn't look at her, but just walked quietly between the gravel and the soil.
The level 4 seal is actually not that terrifying, and it may not necessarily die, nor will it die miserably. There are many seals that can make people die happily.
The ability and corresponding sealing conditions of each newly emerging seal are completely unpredictable, such as the 6-36 "Song of the Rebirth". The sealing conditions are to use peach wood boxes inlaid with relics of the monks. This simple condition was that 19 foundation employees sacrificed for this.
The exploration of the characteristics of each seal will sacrifice more people. Now that the seals in Longshan have just matured, many characteristics may be in the formation stage.
The faster Lin He explores its characteristics, the more sacrifices it will be for the support troops of the foundation to be later.
Some things must be done by someone.
The figure wearing a raincoat jumped into the mountains and forests and galloped in the direction of Longshangu Village in my memory.
At the same time, in the office at No. 39 Shangjing Road, Zhou Ya put down the satellite phone in her hand and looked at the man wearing a glasses sitting below, "Can you contact Team Leader Lin He?"
"Can't contact," the man gave a negative answer, and then he continued, "It suddenly started to rainstorm near Longshan. Witnesses said a landslide occurred on the mountain road leading to several villages in Longshan, which had been completely blocked. Moreover, no communication signals were found within the coverage of the heavy rain, and the satellite positioning was also in a state of failure."
"Team leader Lin is not here, and now I will take over the command of Baicheng," Zhou Ya forced herself to calm down. "The fourth-level seal in Longshan is already mature. Contact the government to block the Longshan area. In addition, researchers will cooperate with the government to explore from the outside to the inside, submit a report every two hours. Send a exploration team to see if there are still people in the village covered by heavy rain. If so, try to rescue them."
"Yes!" the man responded.
"Luo Zhuo, has there been any reply from the East Asia headquarters?" Then she looked at another man in work clothes.
"Yang Zhenshou is coming, and he will be able to arrive at Baicheng Airport tonight at most." The man named Luo Zhuo responded.
"Well," clutched the edge of the table with both hands, Zhou Ya looked at everyone present, "Recalling all the extraordinary people who are performing non-emergency tasks outside is very likely to be a level 4 seal. If we don't handle it well, it may affect Baicheng. We cannot afford or bear such consequences."
"yes!"
"Also," Zhou Ya closed her eyes, "try to find Team Leader Lin and Jiujiu, regardless of life or death."
