What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Although their investigation team seems to have only six people, in fact there are still many resources behind them that can be called upon, and many people are providing support for them.

The news about the big bird was obtained by Ye Chong, who was in charge of logistics and information support, from his colleagues.

This news was actually obtained from the Internet. A tourist took a photo of a "big bird" in a forest not far from Wushu Mountain Scenic Area this morning, and uploaded it to a social platform.

The relevant information collection mechanism of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", after analyzing the location, time, and content of the photo, sent it to Ye Chong and the others.

The photo was actually very blurry, and it was just a vague picture of a big bird about to turn around the mountain. However, there are more detailed language descriptions on social platforms, which can help to understand. If you just look at the photos, you can't see anything shocking or unusual. After all, it was far away, and the visual impact of the big bird's size could not be displayed.

But after seeing this picture, Fang Pingfang, Ye Chong and others quickly judged that the "big bird" in the photo should have a wingspan of more than 3 meters through the comparison reference object next to it, which is really huge.

With a wingspan of more than 3 meters, many people may think it is nothing at first glance. After all, Anseriformes and Falconiformes have many birds with a wingspan of nearly two meters, while Fleurformes and Albatross have many large birds with a wingspan of more than 3 meters at every turn, such as the Wandering Albatross , with an average wingspan of more than three meters, and the largest reaches 3.7 meters.

But this is not the seaside. Normally speaking, the birds that inhabit and reproduce in the Wushu Mountain area will not have such a large size. Since "Mr. Liang" temporarily formed their team to investigate this matter, the big bird is naturally the most "conspicuous" target that needs to be investigated.

On the way to where the tourists took pictures of the big bird, Mi Qiao praised Zhou Rui: "It's really amazing that you can notice the situation of the ants!" At least she didn't think about it at all.

Zhou Rui said with some embarrassment: "I usually raise ants myself, so no matter where I go, I will pay special attention to the ants in that place."

In fact, normally speaking, he would not notice the situation of Wushushan ants, after all, it is winter now, and ants hardly move outside. It was also because he saw the big worker ant of the ant species that he had been raising all the time that he felt a little strange, so he searched for the root cause. But thinking about it now, he has a big question, where did the ant he saw go? He even had a doubt whether he saw the ant or not. Otherwise, according to the location of the ant at that time, he couldn't find it.

Because of this, he didn't tell Fang Pingfang, Mi Qiao and others about seeing the big worker ant.

"It is estimated that there have been some changes in the ecology of Wushu Mountain, which has caused the migration of the ant population. However, we have only inspected a small part of the area just now, so we can't make a judgment hastily. We need to come back later and do a more comprehensive investigation. The ants The appearance of the big bird should also be due to the changes in the environment of Wushu Mountain, and it is likely that some mutations have been triggered because of this, so it has such a large size." Fang Pingfang said while thinking.

Mi Qiao pondered for a while, and suggested: "I think if we find that 'big bird' first, and have a living sample, it should be more beneficial to our subsequent investigation."

In fact, after she entered the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", she soon discovered that most of the people in the secret department did not know the existence of "blood-eating creatures". A few people, such as Fang Pingfang, Zhou Rui, etc., They only know that what they are investigating and studying are some obviously abnormal events or creatures.

So even though Fang Pingfang, Zhou Rui, Li Shiqi and others were not on the field investigation mission for the first time, their way of thinking was still relatively conservative, considering more angles, directions and possibilities. Unlike her, when she heard Ye Chong talking about "big birds" and "little birds" last night, she immediately assumed her position and regarded the creatures that appeared as "blood-eating creatures".

She felt that if the creature that caused the tourists to fall off the cliff was not a "blood-eating creature", "Mr. Liang" would not temporarily transfer her who was studying in Qicheng City, nor would she let Dr. Fang who was in Antie Town Come and lead the team.

Hearing her words, Fang Pingfang looked over and asked thoughtfully, "Did 'Mr. Liang' explain anything when you came?"

This short-haired girl is a close friend of "Mr. Liang", which is already well known. Fang Pingfang also deduced from the previous conversation that this girl should know a lot of information that she does not know, at least for the things they are investigating. , has a deeper or comprehensive understanding, which may have been told by "Mr. Liang".

"That's not true. I just put forward a little idea of ​​my own, and finally decided to ask you to come." Mi Qiao said.

She didn't know why "Mr. Liang" didn't let core researchers and investigators like Fang Pingfang know about the "blood-eating creatures" and what they were investigating and chasing, but she knew that "Liang Mr. Fang must have his intentions in doing this. Maybe Dr. Fang and Researcher Zhou can find more information from different angles, such as the reason for the mutation of "blood-eating creatures", so she is not good. Say what you think too bluntly.

Fang Pingfang pondered for a while, and said: "Then let's see where the 'giant bird of prey' appeared first, and then make plans."

Whether it was on the way to Jianzhou City before, in the villa last night, or today in the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area, when discussing giant raptors, weird birds, and ants, Fang Pingfang's mind would pop up from time to time with that rabbit. Wood carvings, caves in the uninhabited Qinling Mountains, and pictures related to the anomalies that occurred in the "No. 9 Laboratory".

Just like Mi Qiao thought that "Mr. Liang" would let her join the investigation team to Wushu Mountain, there must be the possibility of "blood-eating creatures", Fang Pingfang also believed that "Mr. Liang" would let her lead this investigation team, It should be that what happened here has something to do with the rabbit wood carving and the creatures in the Qinling no-man's land.

"Dr. Fang, if you want to find that 'big bird', do you want to apply for the drone team?" Li Shiqi asked.

"Let's talk later." Fang Pingfang said.

Under normal circumstances, the personnel and equipment they entered the Qinling no-man's land last time are the regular equipment, which is the configuration of the official investigation team.

As for the six of them, it is said that they are the investigators who collected and confirmed the information in the early stage, their identities are a little too heavy. Call it a formal investigation team, but the overall configuration and technical support are a little too casual. It feels like their team was formed by "Mr. Liang" suddenly slapping his head.

...

Throughout the day today, Xiang Kun and a group of friends have been playing in the scenic spot and visited various famous scenic spots. Under the leadership of You Meng, they drove for an extra 30 minutes to eat in a nearby village.

They didn't return to Tongshi Town until after five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Old Ji, how much does Brother Chu give you a month now? Later, I will come to Tongshi Town to develop, how about you come and help me drive?" Before saying goodbye to Ji Hang and Xu Kai, Xiang Kun asked jokingly said a word.

Although these two people obviously have other duties as drivers, I have to say that these two people are still quite competent as drivers. At least they drive very steadily. The anticipation is good and makes them sit comfortably. And when dealing with some things, whether it is speech or behavior, they are all comprehensive and decent.

"I'm sorry Mr. Xiang, Mr. Chu is very kind to me, and I'm cooperating with Mr. Chu now. If you return to the province to develop in the future, maybe we can have other opportunities to cooperate." Before parting, Ji Hang also In a more tactful and cryptic way, he directly told his true situation, so as to avoid meeting again in the future, and let Xiang Kun know that he was not the driver hired by Chu Xiuwen and cause doubt or displeasure.

Today was the last day they stayed in Tongshi Town, and the meal in the evening was still the same as the first day, it was cooked by Xiang Kun and You Meng, and it was still in the "Youlong Restaurant".

The ingredients needed have been prepared by someone in the morning, and they can be taken directly at this time.

Because of some inspiration he got from chatting with Lao Xia this morning, Xiang Kun made some temporary adjustments to the meal tonight. He didn't make it according to the proportion to suit most people's tastes, but all the dishes only revolved around Xia Libing. human taste.

Basically, no one will notice this kind of adjustment. Even You Meng, who is also a chef and is busy in the kitchen under Xiang Kun's instructions, just thinks that Xiang Kun's dishes tonight are a little different in taste and flavor. Try different production methods and types. After all, most of the ingredients tonight are different from those when we first arrived in Tongshi Town on the night of the 17th. There is not even a single piece of rabbit meat.

Even Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona, who were familiar with Xia Libing, only thought that the crispy pork knuckle was specially made for Lao Xia when they saw the dishes being served one after another.

Although all the dishes are adjusted for Lao Xia’s taste, it doesn’t mean that they are not good for others. Overall, they are still very delicious, and even for some people, they may be better than the first night’s meal. It's also much more delicious.

Perhaps the only person who could notice it was Xia Libing.

During the meal, Xiang Kun's attention was all on Xia Libing. Although the graffiti in the black circle and the calligraphy of the lyrics were all in her backpack and placed in the hotel room, she couldn't use the two "emotional injection" items to monitor in real time. induction. But at this distance, he can also judge Xia Libing's emotional changes through direct various sensory information.

Xia Libing's eyes narrowed slightly as she took bites of food into her mouth. Xiang Kun was quite sure that she did have obvious emotional changes. She couldn't tell whether it was happiness, satisfaction, or other emotions.

In fact, when eating with Xia Libing many times before, he had already noticed this slight emotional change in Lao Xia, but he didn't think it was strange at those times, because Yang Zhen'er, Tang Baona and others who ate together , the range of emotional changes is much greater, and Lao Xia is still as calm as she feels.

But later he realized that those emotional changes during the meal were actually not normal for Xia Libing.

You know, whether Xia Libing played Texas Hold'em with a straight flush, Doudi Zhu got a hand bomb, or encountered a human trafficker in a physical conflict, his physical reactions and emotions did not change that much.

Xia Libing told him this morning that he only had dreams related to eating, which made it even more clear-eating, for Lao Xia, is an emotional "switch" that can be touched.

And at the dinner table, while eating the dishes that were specially adjusted and cooked for her taste and preferences, Xia Libing did show the emotional changes that Xiang Kun could clearly distinguish.

After Xiang Kun was going to go back, before the blood drinking period, he made a pair of chopsticks and sent them to Xia Libing.

As for the type of emotional injection of chopsticks, he will choose the emotion of anticipation and enjoyment when eating, which is "transformed" from the chubby girl, and then use this to try to mobilize and trigger Xia Libing's dreams.

Once it can successfully trigger the dream, enter her dream, see what she sees, and feel what she feels, it should be able to help Xiang Kun understand the extremely rational and indifferent feeling he felt through Lao Xia before.

After dinner, Tang Baona originally suggested playing Werewolf, and Zhang Qian wanted to continue the 5V5 King of Glory, but Xiang Kun said that Liu Caifu needed to find him for something and needed to go out. Glory of Kings is naturally impossible to play. Although Liang Yulong can make up for Xiang Kun's lack, without Xiang Kun, You Meng is not at all sure that he will bring four novices to fight with Zhang Qian and the others, so ten of them will keep playing Werewolf kill.

Xiang Kun said that Liu Caifu was looking for him, which was naturally just an excuse. His main purpose was to explore the place where the "big bird" appeared before leaving Tongshi Town.

However, before going to Wushu Mountain, he met Liu Caifu at a tea shop in the town. Director Liu really wanted to meet him and talk about the specific cooperation plan they had talked about in Chongyun Village before.

Xiang Kun just briefly explained the situation to him, and asked him to wait and see the effect. Don't worry about the rest. As for the development of Chongyun Village, he has a follow-up investment plan.

After ten o'clock, Xiang Kun said goodbye to Liu Caifu, drove out of Tongshi Township, and headed for Wushu Mountain.

When Mi Qiao and Fang Pingfang learned from Ye Chong where "Big Bird" was photographed, Xiang Kun, who had been spying on their conversation, naturally knew the location.

According to Xiang Kun's speculation, the "mutated bird" should be the "mutated ant" that wanted to hunt Wu Shushan. If it had already hunted successfully, according to normal understanding, it should leave after a short sleep and mutation. This is an area with a lot of human activity.

But it did not leave, and it reappeared in the sight of humans two days later, and was photographed. According to Xiang Kun's judgment, it probably didn't succeed. The "mutated ant" escaped successfully, but it didn't give up and was still searching everywhere.

Just like the night before, Xiang Kun didn't drive directly to Wushu Mountain Scenic Area, it was still far away, so he found a place to park and walked in.

The area where the tourists who came across the big bird and took photos today is still some distance away from the main peak of Wushu Mountain where the accident occurred on the 18th.

After traveling quickly through the forest for a while, Xiang Kun discovered something unusual before he arrived.

In the infrared thermal imaging visual mode, in the distant mountains and forests, an object composed of blue dots is standing quietly among the big trees.

There is no doubt that it is a mutant creature.

Xiang Kun didn't approach the past immediately because he found other things.
