Chapter 237 Several corpses killed themselves
“The Special Affairs Bureau went to Death Valley in Xiqiang. They thought it was the Valley of the Immortals and entered two teams. Now they are all inside.”
"They must have made a mistake. That place is a forbidden area, and no one who goes in can come out alive. Who is leading the team?"
“Now it’s a person named Xu Qi.”
“He is a talented person, but wasn’t he under special scrutiny before? Why send him on such a mission and let him die?”
“His old boss was reactivated.”
“I see, these people are still in the same habit as before. They like to use power and checks and balances. People who are capable should suppress them first and then use them.”
“For stability?” one person said with a smile.
“It is not enough to pursue stability blindly. It is always those who lead or change the times who stand out from the crowd. The chapter of the new era will be opened by us.”
“Als just called me. It’s still a matter of cooperation.”
“It seems like they have not stopped doing related research! They are doing vampire things under the banner of the Royal Knights.”
“He said he wanted to contact Wang An and ask for our opinions.”
"He wants to die, right? Ask us for our opinion. I'm afraid he has already sent someone when he said this."
“Will our information be disclosed?”
“Probably not, but we need to nip it in the bud and send someone to keep an eye on it.”
"good."
In the mountain village, a wave of people came today. It was said that it was a free clinic event, and free physical examinations were provided for the elderly in the village over the age of 60. They would take the initiative to check at the homes of elderly people with limited mobility.
A young girl and a middle-aged man with glasses knocked on the door and entered the old house to conduct free physical examinations for Wang An's grandfather and grandmother.
They listened to the heartbeat, took the blood pressure... and asked questions from time to time. They were checking here when Wang An opened the door and came in. He was still on the top of the mountain just now, and he came down directly from the mountain when he saw someone entering the house.
He knew about the free physical examination provided by the doctor in the village yesterday, and wanted to hear what the doctor said today.
The doctor examined the two old men very carefully and also took some blood to prepare for testing.
“The two old men are in good health.” The doctor said with a smile.
He called Wang An aside.
“Both old people have some physical problems, and your grandma’s physical problems are more serious. Her lungs may be diseased, so you’d better take her to a big hospital for a checkup.” The doctor kindly reminded her.
“There is indeed something wrong.” Wang And said. He did not tell the doctor in front of him that the old man had a tumor in his lungs.
In his opinion, most of the doctors who provide free clinics are not famous doctors, and even if they showed him the examination reports of the elderly, he would not be able to get any effective advice.
Unexpectedly, the nurse on the side introduced the man named Song Pingshu in front of him as a famous medical expert who specializes in treating cardiopulmonary diseases.
Wang An took out his mobile phone and searched, and it turned out to be true. There were a series of titles in the introduction information, including subject leaders, experts, and so-and-so scholars.
It's really surprising that such a person is willing to go to this remote mountain village to provide free medical consultation. In Wang An's impression, such medical experts are usually hard to find, and they just sit in the hospital for consultation. Too busy.
"If you have time, you can take the old man to the hospital where I work for a check-up." Dr. Song seems to be very approachable and has no airs.
Wang An hesitated for a moment, then entered the room and took out the old man's test report and showed it to Dr. Song.
Song Pingshu read the report very carefully. After reading the report, he frowned slightly and looked a little solemn. He then asked Wang An a few questions, including the old man's usual diet and whether he felt chest pain or other physical problems. Is there any pain in the place, sudden fainting or difficulty in moving?
“Based on the current situation, the old man’s condition is under good control and there is no sign of further deterioration or spread.” Song Pingshu concluded.
"But it's hard to say in the future. My suggestion is to review it regularly. In addition, taking a drug for a long time may cause drug resistance. It is recommended to change the drug after a period of time. Now there are new targeted drugs that have been developed specifically for this disease. The effect is pretty good.”
"OK, thanks."
Wang An chatted with Dr. Song Pingshu for a while and felt good about him.
After they left, Wang An stopped by to find out what this free clinic was about. It turned out that it was a free clinic event held in the countryside recently across the state, which had just started in less than a week.
Thousands of miles away in Xiqiang, outside the valley, Xu Qi put on the latest anti-interference personal protective equipment and entered the valley.
“Remember, once this alarm goes off, stop moving forward immediately and return the same way.” Before entering the valley, the personnel who came with the equipment repeatedly emphasized.
"knew."
“Captain, should I do it?”
“I’ll go.” Xu Qi insisted on going in by herself.
After putting on the equipment, he entered the valley alone. Entering the valley, there were rocks on both sides and few trees. He walked very slowly. He didn't know whether it was because of psychological pressure or other reasons. , he always felt that the atmosphere in the valley was a bit dull.
After walking for a while, he stopped, looked back at his colleagues at the entrance of the valley, then made a gesture to indicate that he was okay, and then continued to move forward.
According to their previous plan, he stopped after walking fifty meters. Not far ahead was a bend in the valley. After turning in, people at the entrance of the valley would not be able to see him. .
He turned back and waved his hand, indicating that he was about to go in. His colleague glanced at the mechanical watch in his hand. Hiss, huff, Xu Qi took a deep breath, then continued to walk forward, turned into the valley, and completely disappeared from the sight of the few people outside.
“Captain, will everything be okay?”
“Taji people have their own destiny, nothing will happen to them, just watch the time.”
According to their previously discussed plan, after turning that corner, no matter how far Xu Qi can walk in, he must return the same way after five minutes to ensure that there are no problems before continuing in. The next stay will be extended to ten minutes, and so on. Go in and explore little by little.
Entering the valley alone, Xu Qi was not moving very fast. He walked forward slowly, looking at the towering rock walls on both sides of the valley. Most of the rock walls were bare, but some trees could be seen on the top of the rock walls. , precisely because of the obstruction of these trees, it is difficult to see the situation inside the valley from a high place.
Dong dong, dong dong, his heart was beating extremely hard. If he said he wasn't nervous, he would be lying. There were two teams in front of him and they both disappeared inside. Who knows what's abnormal here? He was risking his life.
As soon as the five minutes were up, he retreated immediately. Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked out of the valley, appearing in the sight of several people waiting outside.
“Come out.” The people waiting outside were very happy to see that he came out safely.
After Xu Qi came out, he first took off his equipment, and then described what he saw. Based on his description, a person next to him quickly drew a topographic map of the valley he passed, including what he saw in front of him before exiting. Valley terrain.
“Do you think it looks like this?” After finishing the painting, the man handed the painting to Xu Qi.
“That’s right, that’s it.” Xu Qi said after taking a look.
So far he hasn't found anything out of the ordinary. After a short rest, he entered the valley again, this time setting the time for ten minutes.
He went a few hundred meters deeper and made two turns. When the time was up, he immediately retreated back and then repeated the previous mistake.
Repeating this constantly, when Xu Qi entered the valley and advanced for nearly an hour, he saw a man lying on the ground in the valley in front. He hurried over to take a look and saw that the equipment on this man was special. Bureau's special equipment.
It was just that he had lost his breath, and there was a large pool of dried blood under his body. The cause of death was that he had been shot. Xu Qi checked carefully and found that the man had been shot in the back. His expression was very frightened, as if he had seen something very scary. matter.
He raised his head and glanced deep into the valley. He knew that he seemed to be one step closer to the truth. He did not continue to move forward but left the valley with this man on his back. When people outside saw him coming out with someone on his back, they immediately stepped forward to help him.
"This is Captain Lu?" The people waiting outside recognized this man's identity at a glance, and he was officially the leader of the second team entering the valley.
"He was shot to death. Is there anyone else inside besides us?"
“Probably not, we didn’t find any sign of anyone else coming nearby.”
“Notify the headquarters and take the body back for inspection.” Xu Qi looked at the body on the ground, then looked up at the depths of the valley, and then at the sky.
“Let’s stop here today and continue tomorrow.”
After resting for a night, Xu Qi got up early the next morning and continued deep into the valley. An hour and a half after entering, he found the bodies of two other people. Their faces were also full of horror. Each of them had at least seven or eight bullets on their bodies. Holes, clothes stained red with blood.
He took the bodies of the two people out again, and after giving an explanation, he entered the valley again.
As he continued to walk forward, the road ahead changed. It sunk downwards, and the light in the valley also became very dark. After going downwards, the air became turbid. Xu Qi felt that it was difficult to breathe, and there was a faint feeling of deficiency. The feeling of oxygen.
His, hoo, he walked very slowly, while constantly observing the rock walls on both sides. On the rock wall, he saw some strange plants, some of which looked like thuja.
Not far forward, Xu Qi saw the fourth corpse. The expression on this man's face was distorted by fear. He was holding a dagger in his hand. The dagger was covered with blood. There was a streak on his abdomen. The long opening, with all the internal organs flowing out.
Seeing this scene, Xu Qi couldn't help but tremble, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
"Did he cut open his stomach by himself?"
He took the man out, and then did not move forward. Instead, he stayed outside the valley, waiting for the autopsy results of these men.
That night he had a nightmare, dreaming about the thing he was least willing to face and feared deep down in his heart.
When he got up the next day, his face was still a little pale.
It started to rain outside, with the sound of crackling raindrops.
“Captain, are you still going in today?”
"No more going in!" Xu Qi shook his head. He would not go in again until the cause of death of the four people was determined. He was sure that there must be something weird in the valley, a big weird thing.
Another day later, the time results came out. The bullets in the bodies of the three people who were shot were shot from the firearms they carried, with the special marks of the Special Bureau. In other words, they died from their own guns. Down.
The fourth person had his stomach opened by himself, and no abnormalities were found in his stomach other than the normal intestines and organs.
The four people were extremely frightened before they died, and their bodies even suffered from convulsions.
“Extremely frightened, what’s in there?” Xu Qi looked at the valley in the rain.
The rain hadn’t stopped yet, so he received unexpected support. A professional team, two of whom were former subordinates of Xu Qi, were ordered to come to support and investigate the truth of the valley.
“Let’s rest first and then go into the mountains after the rain stops.”
It rained for a whole day and did not stop until the next morning. They entered the valley. Because of the rain, they entered according to the previous steps, but this time many people entered in batches.
After making sure it was safe, they finally came to the place where Xu Qi found the body last time.
Continuing to move forward for a distance of 150 meters, a stone tablet as tall as two people appeared in front of them. On the front of the stone tablet were three ancient characters, and on the back were two lines of small characters that they did not recognize.
“Take a photo.” One person took out his camera and took a photo.
“Copy it.” Xu Qi thought for a while and then said, and someone immediately took out a pen and paper to copy.
“Pathfinding.”
One person continued to move forward, stopped after about fifty meters, and then gestured to everyone to indicate that there was something going on ahead.
No one came forward and looked at the machine on their wrists. After five minutes passed and the man responded that there was nothing abnormal, they continued to move forward.
Fifty meters away was a corner. Not far ahead, they saw two more people falling to the ground. They were still the same as the previous ones, with faces full of panic. Judging from the direction they fell, they must have been crazy before they died. They ran outside, as if something terrible was chasing them behind them.
One man's neck was cut open, and another man had a dagger on his forehead.
“Retreat!”
Xu Qi decisively issued the order to retreat. They retreated outside with the two bodies.
"Captain, I just saw a figure flashing past inside." The team member in charge of the rear suddenly said. After hearing this, everyone looked back and saw the man holding a gun and aiming deep into the valley.
“Retreat, speed up the retreat, immediately!” Xu Qi gave the order decisively.
