Now there were only Wei Yuan and Jiang Shan in the tent. Wei Yuan slowly pushed the wheelchair closer to Jiang Shan, and the medicine bottle on the ground was finally exposed again.
The glass bottle is now empty, and it is impossible to tell what Jiang Shan ate. Only half of a letter, like A, is exposed under the yellowed label "Kefan Biological".
Jiang Shan had already put one hand into his sleeve. Wei Yuan looked at her with complicated eyes: "How come you have the experimental drug from Kefan Biotech?"
Jiang Shan was concentrating on dressing and didn't pay attention to what Wei Yuan said.
Wei Yuan was silent behind him. He didn't seem to intend to ask any more questions. He just bent down and picked up the medicine bottle on the ground.
When locking the anti-theft buckle for Jiang Shan, Wei Yuan lightly rubbed the bottle with his fingertips, smiled as if nothing happened, and handed the medicine bottle to her: "Is it yours?"
Wei Yuan wondered if it belonged to someone else Jiang Shan had picked up.
Jiang Shan turned around and saw his medicine bottle, paused, and said naturally: "Yes."
She took the medicine bottle directly and stuffed it back into the compartment of her backpack.
Wei Yuan was speechless for a moment.
——
About twenty minutes later, Wei Yuan took Jiang Shan, who was fully dressed, out of the tent. Everyone was waiting outside. As soon as Jiang Shan stepped out of the tent and saw the world outside, he was even more violently shocked at that moment. impact.
The entire mountain was completely different from the "memory" Jiang Shan thought.
The appearance outside is also very different from what Jiang Shan saw "last night". The vegetation covering the ground has all withered and turned yellow. The tall trees that used to surround him are now bare and desolate. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Shan would have even doubted it. Did you teleport? Teleported to a completely unfamiliar place?
Wei Yuan's companions were surrounding a large, old-looking truck. Two men were carrying an oil drum and seemed to be refueling the truck manually.
Jiang Shan quickly looked back at the tent. There was a bright red triangular flag stuck in one corner of the tent. The flag was wrapped around a thick tree trunk with layers of iron wire. It was used by experienced campers to fix and position it. of. Jiang Shan was sure that the tent was still the same tent, and she was still in the same place.
Jiang Shan felt her heart beating hard in her chest. She was a little suffocated, and the transparent hood was immediately covered with a layer of mist from her breathing.
Wei Yuan was the first to realize that something was wrong with her, and a light flashed in his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Shan bent down and gasped a few times very quickly. In her mind, she began to see some incredible scenes like a movie flashback.
She saw that she was standing under a tree. The leaves on the tree were all withered and yellow, but there were still a few wild fruits growing on it.
Jiang Shan grabbed a fruit with his hand, yanked it off, stuffed it into his mouth along with the mud, and ate it like a wild beast...
Jiang Shan was shocked by the picture that appeared in her mind. In the eyes of others, she suddenly seemed to have a convulsion, frozen in place and motionless.
"She, what is she doing?"
Others: What's wrong? You don't want to transform into a corpse, do you?
Wei Yuan pushed the wheelchair and came to Jiang Shan. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Jiang Shan's face had calmed down a little, and his heavy breathing slowly began to calm down.
"I'm fine." Jiang Shan said.
The others looked at each other, unable to let go of their guard against Jiang Shan. However, Wei Yuan still turned his wheelchair and said to his companions: "Okay, let's get ready to return."
Others have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and they have been eager to leave as soon as they entered the mountain. Now I finally heard it, but because of Jiang Shan's presence, no one looked happy on their faces.
Zhang Zheng opened the door and got into the driver's seat. Another strong-looking Gundam man took the passenger seat, and Zhao Ying quickly got into the back seat. It seemed like staying in the same air with Jiang Shan for a long time scared her.
The truck was a four-seater from the beginning. The long trailer at the back was covered by something that looked like an open-top cloth, and Jiang Shan watched helplessly as something like a slide slid down from it and stretched in front of Wei Yuan.
Jiang Shan watched helplessly as Wei Yuan pushed the wheelchair and slowly climbed onto the back of the truck from the slide. The others seemed to be used to it. As soon as Wei Yuan pushed up, the slide was closed.
Wei Yuan turned around and looked at Jiang Shan: "Come up."
Only then did Jiang Shan realize that Wei Yuan had just asked Jiang Shan to sit with him, but it turned out that he was sitting in the back of the truck with him? This, this is called sitting? ! Jiang Shan stared blankly at the narrow, dark rear compartment. Next to Wei Yuan's wheelchair, there were two neat rows of gasoline barrels, which looked like they were full of gasoline.
And Wei Yuan just sat calmly next to a pile of oil drums.
Zhang Zheng, who was in the front seat of the driver's seat, opened the window and shouted out dissatisfiedly: "What are you waiting for? You can't get up yet?"
Jiang Shan had no choice but to climb into the trunk without saying anything. Wei Yuan even reached out to help her, finally allowing her to stand firm.
Jiang Shan, who was standing up straight, was almost flush with the roof of the car. She felt depressed and embarrassed. It has been more than 30 years now, and solar kinetic energy and new energy have become ubiquitous. Where else can you see such an antique car that uses oil on the market? .
This is far from the image of a "search and rescue team" that Jiang Shan imagined.
"What scientific research institute did you just say you were from?" Jiang Shan suddenly asked Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan: "...Biological Research Institute."
Jiang Shan was silent for a while: "Why are people from the Biological Research Institute coming to search the mountain?"
In Jiang Shan's impression, shouldn't all the search and rescue personnel be 911, 119 or the like? Moreover, there were only four people, one of whom was disabled.
Wei Yuan: "..." He didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't seem to explain it clearly.
Wei Yuan was silent for a long time and said: "It's better to wait until we return to the city. Maybe you will understand."
Now it is impossible for Jiang Shan to accept Jiang Shan’s explanation of what happened.
This old pickup truck from the 1970s was pulled out of more than a dozen nearby car recycling plants by people from the scientific research institute at Wei Yuan's request. After simple improvements and cleaning, it was put on the road.
As for why Wei Yuan chose this as a means of transportation, people at the scientific research institute were hard to explain.
There is no need for airplanes, no electronic equipment, and no need for all technological and electronic things.
I need a diesel car from the 1970s, a driver, a team doctor, and a guide into the mountains.
They are, driver, Zhang Zheng. 21 years old
Guide, Zhao Ying. 27 years old
Team doctor, Gao Wenwu. 38 years old
When the scientific research institute received the list submitted by Wei Yuan, to be honest, it looked like a joke.
But Wei Yuan's reason was also very simple. His purpose was to find out what happened in the cave hotel and the mountain. He didn't need many people. On the contrary, the fewer people, the better.
... Even if you sacrifice, you must minimize the sacrifice.
This reason makes it impossible for people to say a word anymore. What's more, all parties have sent many people before. Obviously, having more people is not an advantage.
This search mission was not announced to any media. Except for the knowledge of the scientific research institute itself, everything was carried out in a low-key manner.
To be honest, it’s actually because no one has hope.
