A few minutes later, the helicopter flew to an unusually empty snowfield, with a road looming under the cover of the snow, like a dozen winding giant snakes.
At the end of the road, a group of old buildings stood abruptly on the snowy field. In the darkness, it was difficult to see what was going on around the building. Only a few bright halogen lights could be seen near the building, illuminating a straight runway.
, in the dim night shadow outside the lights, there was another helicopter parked.
Xiao Yuan was a little stupid, staring straight at the ground: "Isn't it? There are only a few people down there, how did they clear the runway?
From the time we rescued people from the cave to now, it didn't take much time. How did just a few people do it in such a short time, such a long runway?
As he spoke, a figure rushed through the snow into the light, waving the baton in his hand. The helicopter slowly landed within the light according to the instructions on the ground.
Ye Han was the first to jump out of the helicopter. When he saw the layers of snow on the edge of the runway, he immediately turned around and said, "The runway was blown out by the helicopter."
"Blow?" Xiao Yuan was stunned. Ye Han immediately made a flying gesture. Xiao Yuan's eyes immediately fell on the helicopter beside him, and he suddenly realized.
A lieutenant officer quickly ran up to Ye Han and saluted: "Captain Bian?"
Ye Han immediately returned the favor and pulled the violinist in front of him: "I'm not, he is."
The lieutenant saluted again: "Captain Bian, the plane will arrive in two minutes. Please be ready to board!"
"Got it, thank you!"
"No, it should be." the lieutenant said politely.
At this time, there was a flash of fire at the end of the runway, and a pile of bonfires was lit on the left and right sides of the runway, followed by a second pile and a third pile.
Xiao Yuan's curiosity emerged again: "I went, the reception desk is so fast!"
The lieutenant explained: "Time was too tight, so we just moved a few boxes over."
The people speaking out were all professional soldiers, and I immediately understood the reason.
Nowadays, it is all about safety. Detonators or other means of detonation must be used, otherwise they may not explode even if they are piled together and burned for several hours.
The American army used lit fires to keep warm on the battlefield.
For ordinary people, burning is simply seeking death, and they wish to hide as far away as possible. But for familiar professional soldiers, holding a fire is nothing.
There was a low buzz from the sky, two rows of bonfires were lit on both sides of the runway, and the outline of a transport plane appeared in the dark sky.
Although there was no ground control, the pilot of the transport plane was experienced and accurately lowered the nose of the plane to align with the runway, and landed successfully in one attempt.
The plane stopped, the tail hatch slowly opened, and the armored vehicle jumped out quickly and drove into the belly of the plane in one go.
Ye Han and others jumped out of the car and quickly secured the armored vehicle. Immediately, the luthier gave the take-off signal. The propellers that kept spinning were spinning faster and faster. The transport plane rushed onto the runway again and took off into the sky against the cold wind.
The plane took off, and the luthier sat on a simple seat in the cabin. He took a deep breath and said, "Take off the armor and put it on the car. Take the time to rest."
Although the plane was a military transport plane and not as comfortable as a passenger plane, some staff were deliberately prepared on board, including four or five military doctors. They moved the children off the armored vehicle and used various convenient equipment to conduct preliminary inspections.
.
In addition, several officers took photos of several children. The photos were immediately sent to Beidu through the military network, and the police investigated the identities of the children.
A nurse carefully inserted the needle into the child's arm and inserted the other end into the vacuum tube. A drop of viscous blood slowly flowed out. The flow rate was much slower than normal blood, and it looked like fat that was about to solidify.
The nurse raised her head in surprise, and the military doctor on the side immediately said: "Don't ask me, if I knew, I wouldn't need to check."
The drop of blood in the vacuum tube failed to drip in the end, and the nurse widened her big dark eyes: "It's solidified!"
The military doctor said without hesitation: "Change the syringe and pump by hand."
This time, a small tube of blood was finally drawn out, but before the nurse could put the blood sample into a special container, the blood solidified in the syringe.
The military doctor said helplessly: "Try heating it, if it doesn't work, forget it."
Heating didn't work at all. The nurse could only pull the syringe away and pour out the coagulated blood. She had no idea how to test the coagulated blood sample.
The examinations by several military doctors failed to detect any abnormalities other than superficial symptoms, and the examinations had to be stopped midway because they could not continue.
The busy medical staff died down and the cabin returned to peace, but the military doctors were unwilling to leave and stayed with the children for more than an hour, and did not leave until the plane landed.
At about two o'clock in the morning, the transport plane landed at a military airport on the outskirts of Beidu. The ambulances that had already arrived at the airport picked up all the children. The boxer ants were handed over to the laboratory by special personnel. Ye Han and others were also taken to the laboratory by a military vehicle.
After being picked up, the expensive power armor and armored vehicles were left at the airport.
The military vehicle headed straight for Beidu. Ye Han and others, who had never entered Beidu, looked around curiously. They thought they would see some different scenery, but it seemed that in the past year, they found nothing different in the end.
Modern cities are nothing more than concrete forests. Even if it is the capital of a country, its political status is more important. Apart from landmark buildings, most of the buildings in the city cannot find anything special.
The military vehicle passed through the city, and half an hour later, five people led by the violinist sat in front of Qiu Tianning.
Qiu Tianning led several expressionless officers and inquired in detail about the entire process of the mission, not even missing the conversation between several people. It was not until two hours later that the few were sent to the dormitory to rest.
While Ye Han and others were being questioned, eight children were delivered immediately.
The hospital that was notified in advance had already organized elite troops. After the children were admitted to the hospital, the medical staff who were ready immediately conducted detailed body examinations for them, even the most inconspicuous abnormalities were not missed.
However, the results of the preliminary examination were beyond everyone's expectations. The children were all alive, but their metabolism was only 400% of that of ordinary people, and their hearts only beat once every four to five minutes, which was appallingly slow.
In other words, the lives of these children have been extended by boxer ants more than 400 times, and one day is equivalent to more than 400 days. Calculated at this ratio, the two months hidden in the ant holes are only equivalent to normal life.
Three and a half hours.
In addition to slow metabolism, the examination also found that the motor nerves of these children were anesthetized by unknown neurotoxins, making them unable to control their bodies. At the same time, brain waves showed that the children's brains were always active.
