"What's the sound? Who is it? Report it quickly!" Captain Wu was also startled by the sound just now. At first, he thought it was someone's prank.
But after the team members all answered that it was not him, Captain Wu suddenly remembered Zhao Ye's instructions before they came in: be careful of unknown creatures.
The sound just now was too much like the sound of an animal. After staying in this cave for so many days, this was the first time they heard sounds other than wind.
"Everyone, gather in my direction and be on alert." Captain Wu had to consider the worst-case scenario. He would rather have a false alarm than let everyone have an accident because of his carelessness.
The team members were all well-trained and quickly gathered together. Through the searchlight, everyone opened their eyes and searched for moving targets around them.
"Communicator, report to the command center immediately that we may have encountered an unknown creature. No target has been found yet, but we heard sounds similar to those of animals."
"Captain, is this too hasty? We just heard a voice, what if it was a misjudgment?" The deputy captain has different opinions. Once such opinions reach the headquarters, it will definitely cause fluctuations. After all, in the
The creatures found here are really incredible.
"No, you must report it immediately." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a shadow that suddenly flashed across the beam of the searchlight.
"Flare, fire the flare quickly." Captain Wu shouted, his hands were not idle. He immediately took out the camera on his body, trying to take advantage of the light of the flare to take a photo of the shadow just now. He trusted his eyes.
, something definitely flew past just now.
"Bang" a flare lit up in the air.
"At five o'clock." A team member shouted, and then everyone looked in that direction.
I saw something about two meters long, standing on a raised stone. Its whole body gave off a strange reflection under the reflection of the flare. The head was big, but it looked a bit like a bird.
Captain Wu pressed the shutter continuously and took a picture of it.
When the light from the flare gradually dimmed, Captain Wu used his peripheral vision to see it suddenly spread its wings and pounce in his direction.
"Everyone, be careful, it's coming."
Before Captain Wu could finish his words, he heard the scream of a team member. It was obvious that one of them had been captured by this mysterious bird.
"Everyone, be careful, gather together, quickly, shoot the flares quickly." Captain Wu shouted. He had just lost a team member, which made his whole body tense.
The flare was shot high into the sky, and the whole world became brighter. But this time they couldn't see anything, including the missing team member.
"Old Wu, we must report to the headquarters immediately. We can no longer stay here and must move." The deputy captain reminded him, which reminded him of Zhao Ye's words again. Yes, the safety of the team members' lives is important and cannot be done.
Such a unnecessary sacrifice.
"Report it immediately, and then let's retreat. The idea is that the flare can make this thing quiet. Let's fire the flare while walking." Captain Wu said his guess. Anyway, no matter whether it is right or not, we will use it first.
With the flares in hand, the team members moved faster, simply packed up their belongings, and then quickly retreated.
When they were retreating, the headquarters was already in chaos. The biological experts here were very excited about the life form that had just appeared. This was a creature from millions of years ago, and it was still alive.
According to the previous analysis, the underground space has extremely high pressure. Under such pressure, there should not be animals. Even if there are, when people open the cave and release the internal pressure, no matter what animals and plants they are, they will
Instant death.
Just like fish in the deep sea, they can't even swim into the shallow sea, otherwise they will die.
But facts speak louder than words. The videos and photos sent back by the expedition team have proven that such animals do exist in reality. They can adapt to extremely strong environmental pressures and can also adapt to drastic changes in pressure.
This is simply the miracle of life.
To catch them alive, you must find a way to catch them alive.
This is a strong request from biologists.
But people in the military don’t think so. That thing has already caused casualties, so why are we still keeping it? Can’t the dead be studied just as well?
The headquarters was quarreling fiercely, but this was normal, after all, the two sides had different concerns.
Zhao Ye did not participate. He didn't care whether he was captured alive or not. What he was currently thinking about was how to quickly respond to the advance team members.
Therefore, at Zhao Ye's suggestion, more than a dozen tracked armored vehicles were quickly modified. In fact, the modification was also very simple. It was nothing more than adding searchlights, driving radars and other equipment to ensure that these equipment would not be exposed to any light.
can drive normally.
There were also several engineering vehicles accompanying him, such as bulldozers and excavators modified from the chassis of the 59 tank.
The rescue team was formed very quickly. Their mission was to move forward quickly along the path found by the expedition team and strive to join the members of the expedition team as soon as possible.
Thanks to the digital maps scanned by radar from subsequent expeditions, the mechanized rescue team advanced very quickly. Within a few hours, they joined the first expedition team.
Zhao Ye is also in this team, but he is not riding in an armored vehicle, but the most advanced tank currently. This armor is theoretically incapable of being threatened by any living thing.
His purpose was very clear, that is, to find a way to catch this thing. A trailer was towed behind the tank, and the trailer carried an iron cage that was urgently processed. This iron cage was used to drag out the caught thing.
.
Since the other person is a bird and lives in such a dark place, everyone speculates that this kind of thing is similar to a bat and uses ultrasonic waves to fly. In this way, traditional nets cannot be used.
In order to catch it, experts designed a special rocket. Taking advantage of the fact that this thing may be afraid of light, and taking advantage of its stop, they fired a special rocket at it. When the rocket flew near the target, it
A net will be opened to trap this thing.
As long as the net opens fast enough, they will have another chance.
Zhao Ye and the others waited here for a day. During this time, everyone stayed in the armored vehicle to prevent being attacked by this creature again.
Soon, the equipment designed for the rear was sent over, and enough flares were also brought.
Then, the convoy moved forward again and returned to the edge of the canyon again.
