'Whoosh, whoosh'
In the dense mountain forest, several police officers wearing search and rescue uniforms were walking with many instruments.
Each of them was carrying various tools and rescue ropes, scanning all directions, carefully observing everything around them, and moving forward in the hot primitive jungle, breathing rapidly and sweating.
I don't know how long it took, but a burst of electronic sound came from the headsets under their helmets, and then a slightly anxious voice came.
"Team 2, Team 2, have you found anything over there?"
In the dense jungle, the heat is terrible.
After taking a look at the surrounding situation, the captain of the second team, headed by him, said with a helpless smile.
"Report to the director, this is team 2. We have not found anything in the eastern area we are responsible for!"
"In this area, we have been searching for tens of kilometers, but there are still no useful traces."
Hearing this, the voice in the headset suddenly felt a little disappointed.
"I understand. Where are Team 1 and Team 3?" the voice asked.
"Report to the Director."
"We haven't found any here either."
The answers from the other two teams came through the headset.
"What about Team 4's aerial search? Did they find any traces?"
"Report to the Director! We have found nothing here! And the jungle here is so dense that many places cannot be seen clearly!"
This time, the sound of helicopter wings buzzing came from the intercom, and the people over there seemed to be roaring under the strong wind.
"And we have been around Shennongjia for more than ten times, but there is no valuable information at all!"
"We have surveyed all areas near dangerous terrain, but there are no traces of anyone walking anywhere!"
"This exploration team seems to have disappeared out of thin air!"
"There's no sign at all!"
Words came from the primitive jungle of Shennongjia in the distance.
After hearing these words, the person on the other end of the phone paced back and forth in the office anxiously.
"how so?"
This man is a middle-aged man with slightly dark skin. He looks about forty-five years old. He is slightly fat and has gray hair on his temples. He is holding the phone in his hand, looking a little anxious.
This is the office of the police chief in Shennongjia Sen District, Hubei District.
As one of the few places in China directly named after a forest area, Shennongjia is classified as an entire administrative region.
He does not belong to a certain urban area, but is solely under the general jurisdiction of Hubei District.
As a well-known ancient area and tourist attraction in China, Shennongjia attracts tens of millions of tourists every year due to its unique natural scenery.
Over the years, he has received some search and rescue missions and alarms every year.
But over the years, his search and rescue mission has never been as difficult as today.
The disappearance of today's group of expedition members was the result of an alarm received from a private professional search and rescue team.
At the beginning, after hearing about this incident, the head of the Shennongjia Forest District Police Station, Deng Jin, was extremely cautious about the matter.
Because the search and rescue team that reported the case was one of the best rescue teams in the Hubei region, their coming to report the case was enough to show how difficult this matter was.
After obtaining the known information from this search and rescue team, Deng Jin began to organize personnel search and rescue.
At the beginning, the search and rescue mission went smoothly.
With the blessing of many devices, it didn't take long for everyone to find traces of the ten-person exploration team in the jungle.
These traces are obvious and clear, and it can be determined that they have walked here.
This made everyone a little excited, because after confirming the traces, as long as they follow it all the way, they can basically determine the scene of the missing person.
However, what they didn't expect was that they followed the traces all the way. After searching all the way, they found that the traces of these ten people suddenly disappeared in front of a cliff!
Stop suddenly!
There are no signs, no traces!
It just disappeared between heaven and earth so easily! !
They searched here and almost turned over the entire cliff, but still found no trace!
All traces seemed to have completely disappeared in an instant. There was no trace to show where they had gone!
Seeing all this, everyone was helpless. They began to divide into three teams with this place as the center, and conducted a carpet search toward the front.
In fact, Deng Jin had heard of Li Tuo and even met him several times.
His permission to explore Shennongjia was issued after a meeting to discuss it.
Deng Jin also participated in this meeting. The original intention was that Li Tuo had a good reputation and had decades of experience in outdoor adventures. He was also quite strong. He could use this momentum to build a reputation online and attract more people. Tourists come to Shennongjia.
But unexpectedly, the fame was indeed achieved, but it was not what they imagined!
A full day and night have passed since the disappearance of the ten-man expedition was reported, but they still have no clues.
All kinds of professional search equipment have been deployed for a long time, but those people seem to have disappeared from the world, and no traces can be found at all!
This is absolutely unprecedented in the past search history!
"What a troubled time!"
Deng Jin pinched his eyebrows tightly, and his anxiety had already reached the extreme.
This incident has caused quite a discussion on the Internet. After all, the outdoor adventure team led by Li Tuo is very famous on the Internet. Their disappearance and danger have attracted the attention of countless people.
Although Deng Jin and others have tried their best to minimize the impact of this incident, how can such a thing be suppressed so easily?
In just one day, this matter caused countless people to discuss it on the Internet!
"We can't continue like this, we must find the person as soon as possible!"
"But where did these people go?"
"Could it be that he really disappeared out of thin air?"
Deng Jin frowned, holding the reports and test data from the front line in his hands, his eyebrows twisted together!
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the office, and then the door was opened. A smartly dressed middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties came over, holding a tablet computer with a look on her face. Some are not pretty.
"Director, something is not right about the situation. Come and take a look at this. The disappearance of Li Tuo and others in Shennongjia has become a bigger and bigger issue. The entire Internet is discussing and paying attention to it."
Deng Jin hurriedly took the tablet and opened many pages on it. When he took a closer look, he suddenly felt like his head was spinning!
Because he discovered that the news of the disappearance of Li Tuo and others had suddenly occupied the first place on the hot search list!
Not only that, the disappearance of the expedition team also directly ranked among the top ten on major websites!
It has caused countless heated discussions on the Internet!
"Did you hear about it? The expedition team led by Li Tuo, the great outdoor live broadcast adventure anchor on Douyin, disappeared in Shennongjia more than ten days ago!"
"What? Missing? Is it true? I have watched Li Tuo's live broadcast before. He is very powerful. How could he disappear?"
"It's really missing! I was watching in the live broadcast room at the time, and the picture disappeared during the broadcast. At first, I thought it was because of the unstable signal, but later I saw that it was not a signal at all!"
"I thought it was a signal problem at first, but after there was no message for several days, I felt something was wrong!"
“When I saw it today, it actually became a hot search!”
"Oh my God! My little cute wife, nothing can happen to you! How can I live without you!"
On the Internet, one after another people were discussing fiercely.
Faced with the disappearance of ten people, many people on the Internet were extremely worried.
After all, as China's top outdoor adventure live broadcasters, many people still know of their existence, and the live broadcast rooms of Li Tuo and others have excellent reviews. Nothing bad has ever been reported, and every time there is When major disasters occur, they will always donate money and materials as soon as possible, and sometimes even go to disaster places to help people.
And this time they went to explore, they were not the kind of people who acted recklessly and relied on the government for rescue. Instead, they spent a lot of money to hire a private rescue team and cooperated with the scenic spot.
Now that they see something happen to them, many people are suddenly worried!
"Oh my god, it's too dangerous. How can they go to the primitive jungle? Isn't it forbidden to enter here?"
"Who would have thought that something like this would happen? I have seen all the people in these live broadcast rooms. They are not showy. Each one of them is the top outdoor adventure expert, especially Li Tuo. He has been to more dangerous places. Who I can imagine something happened here!"
"The boat capsized in the gutter."
"It's not like capsizing in the gutter. The primitive jungle is inherently dangerous, and the reason why we came here seems to be to promote this place."
“It’s also a good intention.
"I hope I can be rescued soon."
There were figures one after another and discussions one after another.
As time goes by, the hot searches and comments on these websites have exceeded tens of millions. The popularity is so great that all the news is directly suppressed below!
Even the movie promotion of the famous Chinese actress Tang Yuer was suppressed by him!
Do you want to know who Tang Yuer is? That's a national-level movie star, a new generation of trending idols. In the past, just posting a photo would make it trending. There was support from countless capital, but now, he has been suppressed!
It’s enough to imagine how much attention this incident attracted!
Even when Deng Jin was still reading the comments, the number representing the number of comments was still rising rapidly!
Seeing this scene, the two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, feeling helpless!
"Things are getting bigger and bigger now."
"What a troubled time"
"I planned to promote a wave of tourist attractions, but who would have thought that something like this would happen?"
Pressing the center of his eyebrows hard, the pressure on Deng Jin's side was already high enough when he couldn't find anyone. Now that he saw many comments and public opinions on the Internet, the pressure in his heart suddenly skyrocketed!
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Deng Jin spoke in a deep voice.
"We can no longer retain it. We will intensify the search. Except for the necessary people, all the remaining people will be mobilized to search for Shennongjia."
"Be sure to find Li Tuo and others quickly!"
"Yes!" The middle-aged woman nodded seriously. She also knew the seriousness of the matter, but just when she was about to leave, she was stopped by Deng Jin.
"No, wait a minute, go to the next few cities to borrow some people!"
"Let them start searching from other directions!"
"Maybe this will be faster!"
"Be sure to bring them all back intact!"
The middle-aged woman nodded seriously.
"Yes, Director."
"Go ahead."
The woman turned and left, and the door slammed shut.
Sitting in front of the window, looking at the distant mountains, Deng Jin pressed her eyebrows hard and slowly exhaled.
"I hope I can find it soon."
"As long as nothing happens to people"
Following Deng Jin's order, police officers in the Shennongjia Forest District have begun to take thorough action.
More than a dozen helicopters soared into the sky, and several neighboring districts also knew the seriousness of the matter and sent out search and rescue operations.
Faced with the disappearance of Li Tuo and others, the waves on the Huaxia Network are still brewing.
After the family members of Li Tuo and ten other people learned the news, they came almost immediately, waiting anxiously to look for them.
Many die-hard fans flew thousands of miles to join the search.
Even many professional outdoor adventure enthusiasts from the Hubei region spontaneously drove over and started searching and rescuing to provide assistance.
However, no matter how they searched and searched, they still found nothing in the vast Shennongjia mountain forest.
These ten figures disappeared completely as if they had evaporated from the world.
Not a single trace was left, and all signs disappeared before the glorious cliff.
"Why haven't you found it yet?"
"Where have you gone?"
"Could it be that he disappeared mysteriously?"
"It is very possible that although Shennongjia's feng shui is good, but the hexagrams are broken, it is a rare place of great evil and good fortune. Although the feng shui can be gathered, if you are not careful, it will disappear and disappear!"
"Don't talk nonsense upstairs!"
"Could he have been taken away by savages? There are many rumors of savages in Shennongjia?"
On the Internet, many comments are emerging one after another, and the attention continues to rise one after another.
Even except for the Hubei District, several other districts have successively increased their efforts to dispatch manpower.
But even so, there are still no traces found.
Almost the entire Shennongjia was searched, but they still couldn't find where these ten people were.
Faced with all this, the Internet has completely exploded!
Even the members of the archaeological team who were immersed in studying dragon scale fur and formations in the base knew about this!
"Huh? Why is someone missing again?"
Walking out of the laboratory in darkness, old man Nie Weiguo looked at the hot searches on his phone, puzzled.
"Is there still that many? Ten people?"
"Shennongjia, there's nothing good about this place." Old man Lu Changling also had dark circles under his eyes and spoke at random.
"I have met this young man named Li Tuo. He is quite nice. I hope I can find him soon."
Old man Li Yunshan also appeared here, holding a rice bowl and joining in the conversation.
When he heard this, Yan Zishan, who was fetching rice not far away, was stunned for a moment.
After taking two and three steps at a time, he handed the food in his hands to the two old men, Lu Changling and Nie Weiguo, before he continued to eat his own food.
While eating, he turned on his cell phone.
When Yan Zishan saw the hot search on his mobile phone that the entire archaeological team led by Li Tuo and others was missing, he was stunned for a moment.
"disappeared?"
Yan Zishan frowned.
He has always been paying attention to this outdoor live broadcast expedition team. After all, the blurry stone tablet at the end of the video made him feel completely weird. It was somewhat similar to the pattern of the statue he found at the bottom of the lake.
Just a few days ago, he planned to seriously compare the two, but before he started, there was another abnormality on the scales, so he never had time to compare them these days.
Now that he watched the news carefully, his brows suddenly furrowed.
If I remember the time correctly, this outdoor expedition team seemed to have lost track after discovering the vague stone tablet.
Is it too much of a coincidence?
The ruins and stele are missing again, and as a professional outdoor expedition team, how could it be missing without any trace?
The more I think about it, the worse it feels.
After a slight hesitation, Yan Zishan told everything he knew.
"Huh? There seems to be some ruins? A strange stone tablet?"
"This place is a remote and remote place. Even in the pre-Qin era, it has always been a primitive jungle. Where do these relics come from?"
Many old people are a little confused.
However, when they looked at the analysis chart that Yan Zishan had obtained, they gradually frowned.
"It seems to be somewhat similar, but completely different." Old man Lu Changling frowned.
"Yes, it's just that the feeling is somewhat similar. I'm not sure at all, but I feel that maybe this place is not ordinary either." Yan Zishan said in a deep voice.
Faced with all this, old man Lu Changling and old man Li Yunshan frowned and studied the photo seriously.
Old Nie Weiguo took one look at it and then turned around and continued to cook, because his expertise was not here.
On this side, Lu Changling and Li Yunshan studied it carefully for a long time before gently shaking their heads.
"I feel so sick."
"It's just a stone tablet, and it's quite vague. It's nothing."
Yan Zishan opened his mouth, wanting to speak.
"I know what you want to say. The disappearance of the ten-man team is probably related to ancient mythology, right?" Old Man Lu Changling said.
Yan Zishan nodded.
"Because not only that, according to the latest report a few days ago, the weasel discovered in the Qilian Mountains and Wu Hou, a resident of the mental hospital, also went to the Hubei region."
Old Li Yunshan shook his head gently: "This doesn't mean anything, but what you said is right. Indeed, it is a bit of a coincidence."
Everyone frowned and analyzed it carefully.
After a while, they finally suppressed the urge to take a look.
Because Shennongjia is now full of people, there are no special traces, and the so-called stone tablet seems not to have been found.
Even if they have passed now, they are just wandering around in the jungle and can't find any useful traces at all.
And they still have enough things on hand now that they can't finish their research.
What's more, the relics of the First Emperor are not so easy to find. If you have the time to search randomly, you might as well analyze what you have at hand.
"However, you can keep an eye on it. If any ruins really appear, it won't be too late for us to go there."
"However, the odds don't seem to be high."
Many old people nodded, turned and left, continuing their research.
Faced with all this, only Yan Zishan did not give up.
He grabbed the photo in his hand and frowned.
"There must be something unusual here, right?"
"Is it really not related to the remains of the First Emperor?"
After thinking for a while, he slowly stood up and walked towards his laboratory, preparing to pack up and go to Shennongjia to take a look.
After all, the discovery of previous ruins has reached a bottleneck. One more person is not more, and one less person is not a lot.
"But if there really is a relic of the First Emperor here"
"Then things are completely different."
