"Platoon Leader Zhao, you are here to comment. I have never seen such an unreasonable person. Our outpost also has outpost tasks! For your laboratory, our outpost is only responsible for ensuring your safety. Regarding your research, we They will never get involved. Now you have made a fool of yourself, but you asked us to help wipe your butts. We wiped your butts, and you thought the paper we used was rough and hurt you with the hook! How could such a thing be done? of!"
Xiao Zeng's accent and his rapid-fire metaphors made me laugh out loud. I saw that even Yu, who was serious about words, was holding back laughter.
Dr. Marin rolled his eyes angrily, his nostrils quivered, and he huffed and fell silent. Only the sparse hair on his forehead was still flying stubbornly in the wind... I have now seen what it is like for a scholar to encounter a soldier. ...
Zhao Kai picked up Dr. Malin's wig that had been thrown away from the side, dusted off the dirt on it, and put it on Dr. Malin's head. He helped him tidy it up while smoothing things over, "Hey, Xiao Zeng is a hot-tempered person who speaks straightforwardly. Don't take it too seriously. He's a kind-hearted person, but he can't speak. You can see that they are busy working and they haven't stopped. The new species developed by Dr. Marin are so powerful that they can't be caught without a gun. Come on, if you don’t believe it, ask the researchers in your laboratory, ask them, that guy sucks bones and marrow from people, he can’t resist it at all!”
Dr. Ma Lin is also a smart man. Knowing that Zhao Kai was giving him a step down, he followed the trend and continued, "I know it is not easy for everyone. The current situation is special. Under this situation, we can study It's really not easy for New Animal No. 5... If this experiment is successful, we can do 'why not eat minced meat'! Now that it's all gone, can I not feel anxious... Everything has to be done again It’s starting... The laboratory is also a mess... Sigh..."
"It's not like they are all gone. Xiao Zeng said that a few of them escaped and went out of the mountain. As long as we catch those alive, it will be fine." Zhao Kai comforted.
"Thank you very much. I will report it to the superiors and thank the shelter for its strong support for our research this time. I will definitely give you a credit when the time comes!" Dr. Ma Lin held Zhao Kai's hand and burst into tears of gratitude. Speaking of.
This time it was Zhao Kai's turn to look confused. He was just trying to smooth things over. Why did the blame fall on him? This Dr. Marin is really an old fox! It’s only used to trick honest people!
Feng shook his head helplessly, "I'll ask for instructions from the shelter first." After saying that, he went to contact the man in sunglasses.
"Is my communication equipment broken? Can you try to connect to the dispatch channel?" Feng debugged for a long time, but there was no response at the shelter. He tried our equipment again, but there was no response. "They may We’re in a meeting right now, and what I’m optimistic about about the equipment is that there’s no one on the dispatch side right now,” Yu said.
The researchers in the laboratory, the guards at the outpost, Xiao Zeng, Dr. Marin... everyone looked at us, eagerly waiting for us to set out to find the escaped experimental animals.
"Let's go..."
The sun was shining brightly at the moment, and the endless mountains let the sunshine shine down without any scruples, blessing every inch of land. And it was not easy for us to trek under the scorching sun.
The temperature difference between day and night is huge here, and our protective clothing is so thick and heavy that it’s like being in a sauna. There is no shade for us to rest. Those experimental animals that escaped should not be able to escape in this environment. If we catch them in time, we should be able to prevent them from invading the surrounding environment.
The sun turned west, and we finally walked out of this mountainous area. We saw no trace of those animals along the way, which made people wonder if we were looking in the wrong direction.
"It shouldn't be. Xiao Zeng said that there is desert on both sides of the mountainous area. If those things want to survive, they have to run this way." Zhao Kai said.
"Look at the huge land here, how can you find it... Sigh... Don't drag us along to take over the mess in the future, okay, big brother?" Xiwu took off her hood, and her bangs were soaked with sweat. , sticky on the forehead.
Zhao Kai knew he was in the wrong and continued to find his way without saying a word.
"This seems to be a grotto." Yu said.
I looked up and saw a "no entry" sign standing next to it. There were not many weeds and trees growing here, and they had withered.
Next to the sign, there is a small road, and at the end of this road is a yellow-brown mountain. Different from other mountains around it, this mountain has many holes, large and small, dug out on the mountain. , the structure of this mountain looks very soft, and it has not collapsed even after so many holes were dug.
Ignoring the no-entry signs, we slowly approached the mountain.
Feng checked the signal detector on his arm and said to everyone, "There is biological information here, everyone is on alert."
After hiking for a day, I felt blisters on the soles of my feet, and it hurt every step I took. The situation of others should not be any better than mine.
"Let's go over and have a look."
"It looks like this is where we will spend the night tonight." Chaoyang muttered.
It's obviously too late to leave here and find another place to spend the night. I can only pray silently that the environment above will not be too bad...
"There! There is light!" Zhao Kai lowered his voice. Sure enough, under the illumination of the searchlight, there was a grotto on the mountainside that reflected soft light. As the searchlight swung, the beam of light also jumped up and down.
"There! There is one too!" Chaoyang also discovered a luminous grotto, this one was closer to us.
"What is this?" Zhao Kai asked, "Let's climb up and have a look. Maybe we can find a treasure!"
The soil on this mountain is very soft due to the dry climate. Every time you take a step or climb an inch, there will be a lot of floating soil rolling around. With such a soil structure, how can so many holes be dug on this mountain and still be preserved? So long?
You know, on the way we came, there were many hard mountains, all washed away by mudslides, exposing the hard cores inside.
This mountain, from the structure to the soil here, is very special. It gives me the feeling that the entire mountain is like a kind of pottery, as if it was carved out of clay and then fired and preserved!
"This is a Buddha statue." Chaoyang has climbed to the place where he saw the light before. The point reflected by the light source turned out to be the gold foil on the face of the Buddha statue.
As we got closer to these grottoes, we discovered that many of the grottoes contained Buddha statues. These Buddha statues were not only sculpted with gold foil, but the middle of the eyebrows, including the eyes, were inlaid with various colored gemstones.
These dazzling gems are in sharp contrast with the withered Xiao Su around them.
"Hey? Why isn't this a Buddha statue? Come and see what kind of god this is?" Zhao Kai was in a cave near the foot of the mountain.
I climbed down and looked over, and I saw that the person in the statue was wearing something very similar to a modern windbreaker, with the collar standing up, and a wide-brimmed hat on his head, which was also inlaid with gems.
"This may be the donor." Yu said, "They are the people who funded the construction of this grotto. They are all donors and donors who contributed money and effort to open the cave and create statues. They also erected their own statues here when the grotto was built."
“These benefactors and donors who opened caves to create statues, in order to devoutly worship the Buddha and make offerings from time to time, and have endless merits. At the same time, in order to leave a name for future generations and show their and their family’s reputation, when they opened caves to create statues, they would draw pictures of themselves and themselves in the caves. Portraits of family members, subordinates, and servants." Yu was indeed knowledgeable, and when he encountered something he was interested in, he began to talk about it with everyone.
"With such a utilitarian purpose, is it really pious?" Wen Na shook her head in disbelief.
"Their clothes look very strange. They don't look like the clothes of ancient people in my impression!" The statue is wearing a windbreaker with a stand-up collar, which is full of complicated patterns. The shoulders of the windbreaker are extremely broad. I don't know. Are there shoulder pads added, or maybe these people really look like this. The statue's feet are wearing boots, and the expression on its face is very solemn.
This donor cave is very big. Everyone squeezes into this cave, and it can actually accommodate it. It is not very crowded.
"Look!" Chaoyang pointed out to us the location of the donor's feet like a child discovering a new world...
