Fengkou County is famous because it is located in a depression and has two mountains like "Tianmen" on the north side. The strong wind blows from the cracks in the valley all year round.
You can hear the ghostly sound of "woo woo" every night here. It is the first time for an outsider to come here, and they will always feel sad at night.
But people who have lived here all year round have become accustomed to it. Listening to the ghost wind of "woo woo", they feel friendly. They have been familiar with it since they were young.
Early this morning, two armored vehicles, followed by two personnel carriers, appeared in the county town.
"Professor Gao, I still think it's better to leave this matter to others." Lu Xinyang said, looking at the mountains in the north of the county.
The mountain looked like it had been split open with a huge sword. Adding in the sinkholes and earth beasts, it made people feel strangely uneasy.
"How about we just go and have a look without going in-depth?" Gao Shan said in a consultative tone.
Lu Xinyang knew that he could not be persuaded, but he was very satisfied with being able to get such a promise. He nodded and said, "No problem, but you must obey my command when you go up."
"Okay." Gao Shan smiled and nodded, it's better to agree first.
"Go forward in single file, put away all weapons, and consciously enter the alert zone at the foot of the mountain." Lu Xinyang ordered the soldiers beside him.
"What's going on?" The appearance of military vehicles and military uniforms has aroused the curiosity of the people, but they can only talk quietly, and no one has the courage to stop and ask.
"I heard that there are wild beasts on the mountain that hurt people. Maybe I went up the mountain to kill the wild beasts!" someone said uncertainly.
"Beast? You need so many soldiers and machine guns?" the military enthusiast said with disdain.
"Who knows, maybe it's a monster?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense, you're a weirdo."
The discussion was gradually left behind, and the motorcade drove towards the foot of the mountain at a constant speed.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the whispers of discussion had disappeared, and the only sounds left were footsteps and breathing.
"Professor, stay in the middle, we will take you there, but you must be responsible for your own safety and protect yourself."
Lu Xinyang's expression was serious, because he was not joking. Even if necessary, he would sacrifice everyone to ensure the safety of the mountain.
This is their duty, they will be stationed next to the hospital, and they will follow him here.
The road up the mountain is not easy, the winding and rugged hillside has no road at all.
No, it should be said that all the roads previously taken have disappeared. The wildly growing grass and the increasingly ferocious beasts have made people no longer choose to enter dangerous areas such as mountains and forests.
"Okay, Monkey, Eagle Head, you two go to the front to explore the way, and the others will follow." Lu Xinyang led the team forward.
The mountain road is a bit difficult to walk, but for these soldiers and the mountain, this difficulty is nothing.
The quality of the Chinese army is famous all over the world. Although they have not experienced a real war, the army has never relaxed.
The training standards of the Chinese army are such that foreign armies call them ‘Gah.’
If the equipment is not good enough, we use our own strength to make up for it. If others train for 12 miles, we will do 30 miles or 50 miles.
If others carry 35 kilograms, we will carry 50 kilograms, 60 kilograms, or even more.
Others train for 6 hours a day, but we train for 10 or 12 hours.
It is this hard-working style that makes the Chinese Army a taboo in the eyes of soldiers from other countries.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, whenever the army is mentioned, Chinese soldiers must be the focus of the topic and the focus of debate.
"Sergeant, is it too quiet here?" Someone asked while walking in the forest, and the soldiers around him became nervous.
Lu Xinyang also looked around with vigilance. It was too quiet here.
There were no birds chirping and insects chirping, only the sound of wind rustling leaves and shrubs, like a dead place without any life.
"How far is it from the destination?" Lu Xinyang asked.
"According to what the other party said, the destination should be here, 1.2 kilometers." The scout said, pointing to the hand-drawn map.
This is the map they drew based on the description of the surviving patient.
"Stay vigilant and have the right to fire freely." Lu Xinyang ordered that he could fire at his own discretion.
Roar~~
The roar sounded, making the mood in the team even more tense. This was not like the sound made by ordinary beasts.
"Professor, I think the situation here is very complicated. We should wait for someone to handle it." Lu Xinyang understood some of the situation, but he did not agree with this adventure from beginning to end.
"Let's go and have a look. What if those monsters rush down the mountain?" Gao Shan used this reason to impress Lu Xinyang.
The team continued to move forward, but soon they stopped.
Because in the bushes not far ahead, two earth beasts were facing each other like a gladiatorial fight.
"What are they doing?" someone whispered.
"I don't know, maybe they are fighting for territory?" Many animals have the concept of territory, and maybe earth beasts are the same way.
"No, I think they are fighting to the death." Gao Shan said with an affirmative tone.
"Why?" Lu Xinyang looked at it doubtfully.
"Look at their eyes." Gao Shan pointed forward and said. In those eyes that were bigger than nectarines, Gao Shan could see only cruel killing intent.
They want to kill each other. Although they don't know why, this is good news and it can explain a lot of problems.
For example, they will kill each other, or they may not have the ability to think at all and only follow animal instincts. Killing is untargeted and there is no hierarchy, etc.
"Are you going to shoot?" The soldiers were already aiming at the target.
"No, wait." Gao Shan wanted to study their purpose of doing this, and the battle soon began.
They were like ferocious beasts, stretching out their limbs, roaring and rushing toward each other, opening their big mouths and biting each other's forelimbs, leaving scars on each other's bodies with their sharp claws.
Blood splattered, but the two earth beasts did not stop, but acted even more enthusiastically.
Until an earth beast was bitten on the neck by its own kind, half of its long lizard-like neck was torn off, and it fell to the ground twitching all over.
But even so, it was still struggling, its forelimbs kept extending forward, without any fear of death.
Then, the earth beast began to enjoy its spoils in front of them.
It devoured its own kind in bite-sized chunks, leaving not even a scrap of bone behind. It devoured its flesh, flesh and bones without even chewing them.
"Lao Lu, can you capture it alive?" Gao Shan's eyes lit up as he looked at the earth beast's injuries that were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Professor, this is very dangerous." Lu Xinyang said with some embarrassment.
To capture a monster alive, they did not have the tools to imprison the earth beast. To capture it alive might cost the lives of several soldiers.
