One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 322: Going separate ways?
At this moment, several fishing boats were slowly sailing towards the back mountain, which was the area that Huang Miao had taken Zhang Lingyu and others to overlook from the top of the mountain.
The water is like a trapped dragon and the mountain is like a cage.
"Remind the ships behind to be cautious and follow the team closely. It is hard to predict what will happen after entering the Dragon House..."
Huang Miao's tone became serious, and his warning made Zhuge Qing and Xia He dare not slack off at all.
The two men quickly went to remind their respective teammates. At this moment, everyone was surprised to find that white mist had risen on the river again without them knowing when.
The white fog was not thick and did not block the view like before.
Being in this white mist, the surroundings seem to be gently covered by a layer of gauze, which looks even more dreamy under the moonlight.
Zhuge Qing looked back and saw that the three fishing boats behind him had become blurred, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"Director Huang, will we get lost in this white fog and separate from each other?"
Huang Miao seemed to have already known Zhuge Qing's concerns:
"Have one person on each of the ships behind knock on the board. When the ship in front knocks, the ship behind will knock back immediately."
Zhuge Qing's eyes lit up, he nodded in agreement, and quickly passed the order on.
Feng Baobao first picked up a wooden stick beside him and knocked hard on the board.
"Boom..."
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Soon, after a dull knock, three identical responses came from behind.
This method really works, ensuring that the four ships always stay in contact and do not deviate from their route in the white fog.
At the same time, Xia He observed the surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the white fog was not getting thicker.
In this way, the white fog will at least not block the view, allowing the four fishing boats to stay on the correct route.
However, as time went by, Huang Miao's brows became more and more furrowed.
Not only Huang Miao, but Zhang Lingyu, who had been rowing, also noticed something strange.
He was exhausted and sweaty from the continuous rowing, but until now, he had not found any place where the missing person might be hiding.
On the empty river surface, only the mountain not far away is hidden in the white fog, becoming a vaguely discernible black shadow.
"I remember that we have been paddling for half an hour after crossing the back mountain. Why haven't we arrived yet?"
Zhang Lingyu frowned in confusion and looked around.
Then, he looked towards the mountain not far away, with more doubt in his eyes:
"Something's wrong. Haven't we already passed through the back mountain? Why is the back mountain still in front of us?"
Feng Baobao looked in the direction Zhang Lingyu was looking at suspiciously, and then guessed:
"The visibility is not good now, so it should be another mountain, right?"
Zhang Lingyu was not familiar with the surrounding terrain, so he did not say much, but the doubt in his eyes did not diminish.
Feng Baobao looked back and could no longer see the boat behind her, so she quickly picked up the wooden stick again and hit the board hard.
"Boom..."
After this dull knocking sound, there was a response from behind. Feng Baobao counted the sounds carefully.
"1...2..."
Soon, Feng Baobao realized that there should have been three sounds, but only two were heard.
At the same time, Zhuge Qing and Xia He also noticed this and looked back.
"Is there a ship missing?"
Just as Zhuge Qing finished speaking, the third knocking sound finally came.
"Boom..."
However, this sound made everyone's faces look a little strange.
Wang Ye even stood up and looked in the direction of the voice.
The sound did not come from the stern, but from the bow.
This means that the fourth ship, which should have been at the back, actually appeared in front of the first ship where Huang Miao and others were.
"Director Huang, what's going on?"
Zhuge Qing hurried to Huang Miao and asked in confusion.
He himself did not realize that since when, Huang Miao's existence had become the pillar of his heart.
Huang Miao looked around and sighed softly:
"This Shenlong Shed is indeed worthy of its reputation. Even I didn't realize that we have been circling in the same place since I didn't know when."
Hearing this, Xia He and Zhuge Qing looked at each other, and then said the words they had heard before but never believed at the same time:
"Ghost hits the wall?"
Huang Miao nodded gently:
"That's understandable. Now we are trapped in the Dragon House, circling the same place over and over again.
That explains why the knocking sound that should have been at the back was happening in front of us.”
The police officers on the fourth ship also noticed something unusual.
In the white fog, Sun Xuchen and others on the fourth boat could no longer see the boat in front.
When they were worried about whether something might happen, they heard a knocking sound behind them.
This made Sun Xuchen very confused. Logically, the knocking sound should have reached them after the third knock.
But why did the first knock come from behind his own ship?
Before Sun Xuchen could figure out what was going on, three knocks were heard from behind.
At this moment, Sun Xuchen felt something was wrong. The fourth ship he was on had run to the front without him knowing when.
However, Sun Xuchen now did not dare to order the ship to stop at will, and what he did not know was that this was also the most correct decision he had ever made.
At the same time, Zhuge Qing looked at Huang Miao with some concern and said:
"Director Huang, it's not a good idea to go around like this. Why don't we stop the boat first? We have to find a solution!"
Zhuge Qing's tone was a little hurried, he was indeed very anxious at the moment.
He didn't want any more accidents to happen and just hoped that the matter could be resolved peacefully as soon as possible.
But I didn't expect that troubles would come one after another.
However, Huang Miao shook his head seriously at Zhuge Qing's suggestion:
"Absolutely not! In this Shenlong House, if you keep moving, at most you will just go around in circles. It's like being trapped in a maze. We are not afraid of you keeping moving, but we are afraid of you stopping suddenly. If these ships stop, we will never be able to get out again."
Huang Miao's words shocked Zhuge Qing. He never thought that his suggestion would lead to such serious consequences. At this time, Huang Miao looked around and said thoughtfully:
"If you want to break into this Shenlong Shelter, it is impossible to do so while you are stuck in the situation. But if you want to get out of the situation, it is not that difficult."
Huang Miao looked at Zhang Lingyu and said, "Tian Zhen, from now on, don't turn around, row the boat backwards."
Huang Miao then looked at Zhuge Qing and Xia He and said:
"You two, you must also immediately inform your team members to do the same."
The solution proposed by Huang Miao made the two of them very puzzled, but in this situation they had to choose to believe Huang Miao.
Zhuge Qing immediately took out his cell phone and called an investigator from the National Security Office.
However, a mechanical voice soon came from the phone, reminding Zhuge Qing that the number he dialed was invalid.
Zhuge Qing widened his eyes and tried the phone numbers of several other investigators, and the results were the same.
When he looked at Xia He next to him, he found that Xia He's face also looked very ugly.
Both of them realized one thing: they couldn't even make a phone call in the Shenlong House. It was obviously interfered by the magnetic field.
At the same time, in the office of Lianyun City National Security Office, Lei Shan paced anxiously in the room with a serious expression.
News reports about the municipal government were being broadcast on the TV screen. Outside the camera, a large number of media reporters had gathered in front of the gate of the municipal government for several days in a row. They were waiting day and night, hoping that Deputy Mayor Chu Yi would show up as soon as possible.
Public opinion on the Internet is like a runaway horse, becoming increasingly difficult to control.
At this moment, the only hope seems to lie with Zhuge Qing, the person in charge of the case.
However, Xiang Tian, who was sitting next to him, held the phone with a surprised expression on his face: "Director Lei, I still can't get through to Zhuge Qing's phone. It says the number is invalid."
Upon hearing this, Lei Shan slammed the table and said angrily: "What the hell is this kid doing? Empty number? Did he change his number?" Xiang Tian was also confused and at a loss.
"Lao Qi, quickly contact other investigators. We must figure out what happened as soon as possible. Zhuge Qing is our only hope now." Lei Shan said anxiously.
Xiang Tian nodded quickly and began to look through the investigators' information on the table and make calls one by one.
But the results were puzzling: the phone calls of all investigators involved in the case could not be reached.
The case was urgent, but the investigators from the National Security Office disappeared collectively, and Lei Shan's heart instantly rose to his throat.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the National Security Bureau investigators all had positioning chips installed in their cell phones to prevent any unexpected events.
So he immediately summoned the head of the technical department and asked him to locate the mobile phones of Zhuge Qing and others.
However, ten minutes later, the head of the technical department brought bad news: the positioning chip failed and no positioning information could be found on the device.
This is undoubtedly a further blow to the National Security Office.
Lei Shan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but he couldn't find a clue for a while.
At this moment, the phone in the office suddenly rang, as if urging someone to die.
Lei Shan glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an internal number. He immediately looked at Xiang Tian and said solemnly, "It should be the city government calling."
When I picked up the phone, I heard the urgent voice of Deputy Mayor Chu Yi: "Director Lei, what's the situation now? Is there any progress in the case?"
Chu Yi's tone revealed extreme anxiety. He hoped more than anyone else that the case could be solved as soon as possible.
However, Lei Shan could only sigh deeply and said helplessly: "Deputy Mayor, we have lost contact with the investigation team. We are now investigating the cause of the loss of contact, so we don't know the status of the case."
"What?" Chu Yi was shocked when he heard that. He jumped up from his chair, and beads of sweat soon covered his forehead. "Director Lei, you can't joke at this time! The city government is now surrounded by reporters, and cameras are set up! This has seriously affected the normal operation of the city government. We were counting on your National Security Bureau to solve the case, but now you say you have lost contact with your own investigation team. Aren't you trying to put our city government on the spot?"
Chu Yi's voice was hurried and anxious, reaching Lei Shan's ears.
Lei Shan was naturally very anxious, but the sudden loss of contact with Zhuge Qing and others was also an unexpected surprise for the National Security Office.
Therefore, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Although the municipal government and the National Security Office belong to different systems, this case is indeed handled by the National Security Office.
Now that the investigation team has lost contact, no one can accept this.
At this time, Zhuge Qing had no idea that the outside world had already been in an uproar because of his disappearance.
He only wanted to get out of the Dragon House as soon as possible and find those missing people...
For Zhuge Qing, the most difficult problem at present is undoubtedly the communication barrier.
His mobile phone was unusable and it was difficult to accurately convey information using voice alone, which made him fall into deep thought.
Just as he was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, the five-minute knocking time set by Huang Miao happened to be up.
Feng Baobao skillfully picked up the wooden stick and struck it forcefully on the board, making a dull "dong" sound.
Soon after, the sound of the fourth ship was heard, indicating that during the voyage, the four ships had unknowingly made another big circle.
This gave Zhuge Qing an inspiration. His eyes lit up and he took the stick from Feng Baobao.
As investigators of the National Security Bureau, one of their required courses is to master two or more cryptographic communication skills.
In this case, Morse code is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Zhuge Qing began to knock the wooden stick rhythmically, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes heavy, sometimes light.
After knocking, he pricked up his ears and waited patiently for the response.
Soon, responses came from the following ships.
Through Morse code, Zhuge Qing conveyed the order to the boat behind: everyone must not turn around and row backwards to get out of trouble. Although the investigators were puzzled by this, they obeyed the order without hesitation.
As the sound of the ship behind him came, Zhuge Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ye and Huang Miao smiled at each other, recalling the knocking language they had used during the six months in the tomb, which was similar to Morse code.
The four ships began to move according to Zhuge Qing's orders. All the people faced east, but the ships slid backwards toward the west.
In the white fog, the ships could no longer see each other, but since they were all carrying out the same mission, they did not collide.
However, for Zhuge Qing and Xia He, their hearts were still full of doubts.
At this moment, a strange scene happened.
The white fog around suddenly began to flow like water. The fishing boat rowed towards the west, but the white fog moved towards the east.
This made the surrounding fog thicker and thicker, but everyone's vision gradually returned to normal.
When Zhuge Qing turned around, he was surprised to find that the back mountain that was originally in front of him had appeared behind him at some distance, and was already some distance away from them.
The fishing boat they were on was only 500 meters away from the cave in front.
It feels like playing a large game, and everything around seems to be refreshed only after the protagonist arrives.
Investigators on several other boats also looked around in confusion and realized that although they were gliding backwards, the fishing boat was still moving normally.
When they set out before, they were heading towards the back mountain, which is the east.
But with the appearance of white fog, they received Zhuge Qing's order and began to row backwards.
That is to say, they were facing east at that time, but the ship was actually returning along the same route.
However, now that the white fog has dissipated, they discovered that the mountain is already behind them, but the ship is still heading east. (End of this chapter)
