After a month of surveillance and investigation, James found nothing useful. He did not give up. As an excellent agent, you need to have enough patience.
While monitoring and investigating the institute, he also paid attention to collecting some news in the area. He also investigated the legend of the giant python that once made a lot of noise. Unfortunately, the so-called giant python has disappeared. And those who leaked
No crocodiles were found, not even one.
Although he felt that there should be a secret of life hidden in it, no matter how hard he investigated, he couldn't find any results. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and turn to patiently investigate the institute.
Finally, after a month, he saw a large truck driving into the research institute. This was the first time he saw a truck driving into the research institute in this month. He swore on his own blood that this big truck was driving into the research institute.
There was definitely something wrong with the truck. He decisively turned his attention from the research institute to the big truck.
"Where did it come from? What is it used for?"
He quickly packed his things, prepared his things before the big truck left, and then drove a car to follow the big truck. He changed cars, overtook, and changed roads. He used a lot of tricks to follow carefully to avoid being discovered by the big truck.
The performance of the big truck surprised him, because the big truck stopped in many places, parked for a short time, and then drove away again, and the route it took seemed to have no purpose at all.
"There is a door!!" James secretly exclaimed. After quickly writing down all the locations, he continued to "drive" everywhere with the big truck. Finally, when changing vehicles and changing roads to follow, he accidentally lost the vehicle.
.
Although he did not see where the big truck went in the end, and although he did not place a special signal transmitter on the truck, James was still very happy because things had opened up. He believed that with his own skills, he would soon be able to
Make this gap wider and wider.
Later, while using a remote camera to monitor the opposite institute, he also began to investigate the recorded locations, and easily found out that these places were places where animals and plants were collected and sold. Finally one day, he found a clue, which was
These places all have a common source of flora and fauna - around the town of Amtu.
"Isn't this where the giant python happened?"
After getting this precious clue, James dressed up non-stop, signed up for a tour group, and came to the town of Amto. Under the guidance of the tour guide, he visited many scenic spots, including botanical gardens, botanical gardens, botanical gardens, and botanical gardens.
There is no zoo at all.
"Why is this happening?"
Just when James wanted to ask this question, a tourist already asked this question: "Tour guide, why didn't I see a zoo here?"
"Well, it was because many animals were poisoned and died. I heard it was related to food. Later, the zoo was simply converted into a botanical garden."
"..." No matter whether others believe this reason or not, James doesn't believe it anyway. Thinking of the strange behavior of the institute, James is even more certain that there is a problem here.
Unfortunately, James only focused on the animals and did not notice the changes in the plants in the botanical garden. Because James did not know much about plants, he did not find that the images of the plants here had changed slightly from their original images.
It was different. It was also the first time for the tour guide to come here. Many of the introductions were based on the internal information of the travel agency, so she herself did not know that the plants here had changed.
After the trip, James returned to his hidden surveillance location and checked the situation of the institute, but found nothing of value. There was no progress here, so James decisively decided to go to the mountains to search for clues himself.
He dressed up as a wild traveler, took a video camera, and entered the forest of Amtuo Town.
However, he soon discovered something was wrong: with his rich professional experience, he quickly discovered that there were many hidden cameras installed in the jungle, and the installation techniques were very sophisticated.
He was so happy and surprised that he didn't dare to stay any longer. He pretended to be in a hurry after receiving a call and left in a hurry.
The monitoring center located on the edge of Amra Village discovered this situation, but it did not attract the attention of the staff at the monitoring center because James acted too much like him. And after all, they were not experienced enough and had never interacted with the United States.
I have dealt with elite agents.
Due to various reasons, James successfully escaped from surveillance. Being cautious, he stopped staying and went directly back to his hiding place. After packing up his things, he left China directly from Xishuangbanna and entered Laos.
According to the location on the map, most of the jungle attached to Amtuo Town borders Laos, so James chose to escape to Laos.
After arriving in Laos, James planned to hire a local guide to cross the Laos border to avoid surveillance and continue his investigation.
Because the public security here is relatively chaotic, the tourism industry is not as developed as in Xishuangbanna, so the guides here are basically people who often go into the mountains to hunt for a living. If someone hires them, they can easily transform themselves into a tourist guide.
James followed the hotel waiter's instructions and went to the "Guide" gathering place, Mambata Bar.
Dirty and messy, this was the first impression this bar left on James.
"A friend of mine is missing and I want to find a guide to search and rescue him. Does anyone want to go there?"
I heard that this gringo wanted to hire a guide, and many people were eager to try it, because gringos are generally rich and can kill him severely.
"Where to go?"
“Aina!” (Aina is a place in Laos that intersects with the town of Amto)
"Eina??! That's a dangerous place. I advise you not to go there."
"Your friend must have died a long time ago. Maybe he was in the belly of the tiger, or he was bitten to death by a poisonous snake."
After hearing that they were going to that scary place in Aina, everyone chickened out.
James was very curious, and after asking around, he learned that more than a dozen people had disappeared there last month. Later, several people were sent to look for them, but they never returned. So now many guides don't want to go there.
However, a big reward must be brave. After James offered three times the mercenary fee, two guides finally agreed. The task of a guide is always easier than the task of hunting and capturing wild animals, not to mention the money is quite a lot.
The next morning after negotiating the price, the two guides took James on a 6-person boat, entered a stream from the Nanwu River, and headed upstream.
It was still the rainy season, the stream was very deep, and there was no rain, so the water flow was relatively stable. The boat drove steadily and fast, and in less than 3 hours, the three of them almost reached Aina.
"Stop!!" James caught something special under the stream in front of him. Several large pieces of light white were lying at the bottom of the stream. Generally speaking, there would be mud or something at the bottom of the stream, and white things were relatively rare. Suspicious, he hurriedly
Call to the man driving the boat.
The boat soon stopped at the shore. The three people went up to the shore, walked closer, and looked at the bottom of the stream. They saw several hazy white pieces spread on the bottom of the stream.
"There's nothing?" one of the guides said.
James glanced at him and replied: "Those big white things, I suspect are fragments of the ship. Didn't you say that someone was missing here? Maybe this is the ship they were on."
The two guides looked at each other, it seemed reasonable, and finally decided to go down and take a look. If they could find clues, they could sell some money back.
One of them took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear, naked. He quickly jumped into the water, and then swam flexibly in the water like a fish. His swimming skills can be said to be extremely superb.
Soon, he came out of the water and climbed onto the shore. He looked unhappy and said, "It's the wreckage of the ship, and it's broken. Part of it is buried in the mud and can't be pulled out."
James pondered for a moment and said: "According to the current speed of the water, this sunken ship should have been destroyed about 200 meters upstream, then floated all the way, sank all the way, and then finally reached this place after a month of water impact.
.Let’s go upstream now and take a look.”
Although it was only 200 meters away, the road in the jungle was not easy to walk, so the three of them got back on the boat and drove the boat carefully, slowly heading upstream.
However, when they drove less than 100 meters, they saw another small boat leaning on the shore ahead. It looked like it had been damaged.
The ship slowly approaches.
30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters...
The three of them finally got a clear view, and saw that the 6-passenger boat had been completely damaged, and only the frame of the boat was intact. The most frightening thing was that the boat was not smashed, but
Destroyed by unknown animals.
There were huge five-finger claw marks all over the ship. From the claw marks, it was obvious that the claws were almost as big as a washbasin. What was even more exaggerated was that the claw marks were filled with shocking cracks, and these cracks were 2 centimeters wide.
You must know that these ships are made of polymer materials. Even if you use a big ax to hit this material vigorously, you may not be able to make ax marks. You can imagine how sharp these claws are, and the owner of the claws
What a terrifying power it has.
A shadow of death hung over the hearts of the three.
James was not afraid, but was very excited. He felt that the truth was right in front of him, and a wave of passion surged in his chest.
The two guides were just the opposite. They had begun to regret being hired here.
"We have to leave this hellish place." The two tour guides didn't want to stay here for a moment.
However, now that we are here, we cannot just leave if we want to.
At this time, Aoki had noticed them.
"The opportunity has not yet appeared, and it is not yet time to expose yourself. Therefore, you can only die."
