Chapter 9 Polarizing Sextant(1/2)
Under the guidance of the security brother, the three of them quickly arrived at the outer road of Fangfeng settlement.
In the cold and humid air, the inexplicable sweet smell became stronger and stronger, which made Xue Ming feel a little uneasy.
Although this security guy has repeatedly said before that the air components here have been tested and have no special impact on the human body.
However, Xue Ming was still very worried that the previous mental disorder of the personnel in the engineering team must be related to the residents or the natural environment of this settlement.
They got off the bus next to the highway near the settlement and had to walk more than 300 meters of woodland to reach the supply station.
Stepping on the moist gray mud, the three of them maintained a tacit silence. There seemed to be only the sound of rain in the world, and the movement of shoes stepping on the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
In the rain curtain, the low stone tower in the distance gradually became clear.
The first thing that caught Xue Ming's eye was the stone building with the landmark sign of Jiujie Station. Not far away, there were layered stone pile fences.
When they came to the rain-wearing porch of the stone building, Xueming took a few more glances in the direction of the settlement.
He touched the navy blue phone that was facing the inner bag - although Xue Ming was unwilling to owe Meteor's favor, he still accepted the phone.
But a few dozen meters away, the buildings in the fragrant settlements were clearly visible - it was a strange structure house that he had never seen before.
The residents of these settlements seem to be still in the Stone Age, and the materials of the houses were like marsh and mortar made up bit by bit.
The whole house is like an upside-down drop of water, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. The top of the house is filled with dark green unknown plants, which look like algae, used to escape from the rain.
The houses of these residents are built on the bare rocks of the low mounds. Judging from the rainproof sheds and site selection on the roof, the waterproof performance of these houses is very poor.
Once water accumulates on one side of the house, the walls built with mud and grass will collapse.
In addition, Mr. Xue Ming also saw some "people" wandering in the village.
He was not sure whether the creatures that were wandering in the rain were really humans.
These people walked aimlessly on the muddy path of the settlement, with their hands hanging weakly, and they had no intention of rushing to a certain place.
The rain wet their bodies and covered them with coarse cloth materials that were difficult to identify in specific eras.
There were a few people who simply sat and lie beside the naked rock, and they couldn't even be considered clothes. They simply used two pieces of cloth and a few tough knitted vines to penetrate them together, which was considered "clothing".
The security brother is right—
——The residents here have no trace of civilization except that they look very similar to humans.
Perhaps they were just afraid of the cold and covered the fabric.
Xue Ming thought about it carefully, but felt that it was not right because these residents did not show any fear of the cold.
He and Bu Leixing have been shaking all over since they arrived at Fangfeng's settlement, and their bodies felt trembling, and their bodies probably would not be more than ten degrees.
The security brother is fine. The tights, MOLLE hanging boards, and bulletproof vests should be quite warm to wear.
If you have to carefully consider the inference, I am afraid that the only reason why these residents wear clothes is that they dislike the dirt of rain and are unwilling to let their skin get dusty. When eating, they have a piece of fabric on their bodies that can wipe their hands.
Xue Ming recorded all these things in his notebook, then took out his cell phone and took photos in the direction of the settlement.
He seemed to think it was not enough, so he took out a pen and drip-shaped houses in the settlement. The pillars of the stone grille were also depicted and recorded, and he refused to let go of any clues.
When A Xing saw Brother Xueming standing on the porch for a long time, he felt curious.
He approached Xue Ming and immediately asked when he saw Brother Ming's painting.
"Brother Ming? You can still draw?"
Xue Ming: "I understand a little bit."
A Xing: "Then you must be a great painter, right? Look at your sketch, how good is it? Did you lie to me before? Actually, you are not a slutty girl. You are not a serious ill sister?"
Jiang Xueming didn't say anything, but just looked at A Xing with a cold look.
"Hehe..." Ah Xing immediately became much more honest, but he became frowning again, looking like he was wronged.
Jiang Xueming put away his diary and pen and followed the security brother into the house.
When he entered the door, he saw Ah Xing's strange look in front of the porch.
He was also curious about how this tall man of 1.9 meters tall was like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.
So he asked, "Axing, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Ming, you are so angry, you must have not lie to me." Ah Xing frowned and pursed his lips: "That means, there is really an eighteen-year-old little sister who is still lying on the hospital bed, tortured by the crazy butterfly and Vita's imprint."
These words made Xue Mingduo take care of himself.
He asked tentatively: "Did you not believe what I said before?"
"How could I believe all strangers' words all at once?" Ah Xing's expression was very serious: "I am not the victim of the trafficking incident, Brother Ming."
"..." When Jiang Xueming heard this, he felt inexplicably in his heart. He continued, "Then why do you believe it again now?"
"Because I saw that expression when you were drawing..." Ah Xing threw his backpack on the sofa in the room, and seriously described it with Jiang Xueming, explaining: "You pinch your pen, like a doctor holding a scalpel-
——I have had several crashes, the worst parachuting accident, and I survived thanks to a tree.
But my spleen and half of my liver plunged into the tree. When the operation was about to end, I woke up. What I saw at that time was my surgeon. The doctor was wearing a mask, and I could only see his eyes."
Jiang Xueming helped the security brother to set fire to the fireplace, but he didn't care much about Axing's words.
"The doctor cleaned up the wood slags and stitched the wounds, and looked at him when he stitched the wounds." Ah Xing chose to lean on the old man's chair, "It's very similar to the look you looked when you were painting just now, as if there was a life in your hand."
Jiang Xueming didn't say anything, he was a little at a loss.
Originally, Xue Ming thought Ah Xing was just a simple and innocent guy, but he didn't expect that this guy's mind was the same as his pink shirt. It was not only ostentatious, but also very meticulous.
This step meteor is completely different from the step meteor on the train before.
The security brother pushed the dining cart out and took care of the two passengers a full meal.
He heard him greeting with a smile: "Come on, two passengers, there is nothing to eat in this place, they are all canned."
"Brother Security..." Jiang Xueming's attitude eased a little, "Or, you introduce yourself? We can't keep calling you security, right?"
Along the way, because she was worried about her sister, Xue Ming kept her nerves tight and unknowingly, she seemed to be hostile to anyone.
Finally there was a place to settle down, and his fatigue along the way was alleviated, and his anxiety gradually dissipated.
This made him feel a little more at ease, at least his teammates look very reliable now.
"Introduce yourself? Me?" The security brother scratched his head, and he really didn't know how to start for a while. He seemed to have never done such a thing before.
A Xing asked: "Brother Security, have you never introduced yourself to other passengers before?"
"To be honest, no." The security guard took out the employee ID card from his pocket and handed it to Bu Leixing: "Often we just show the ID, so why do we have so many words to the passengers?"
Bu Leixing glanced at the ID and handed it to Jiang Xueming.
Security continued: "You have also learned some things from the information I have provided. The station maintenance work started in a few years to more than ten years. I have stayed at this station for four years just because of Fangfeng Village. I have been in another place for six years before. This is quite short-
——The environment in the underground world is very special. A place may not have new abnormalities occur every few months. Therefore, security personnel must be on duty for a long time.
The longer we stay in the same block, the more familiar we are with the local situation. Simply put, I am now going back to Fangfeng settlement and it is the same as going home. There are several roads inside and which road leads to where I know.
Something new suddenly pops up, or some passengers are coming to visit and investigate. Our security patrol work has been doing well for several years to minimize the risk factor."
Jiang Xueming lowered his head and checked the ID information.
[Device name: Davie Boume (Davie Bourne)]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: thirty-six years old]
[Book brief name: Jiujie Station employee and armed personnel]
[Staff specific information: Mr. David is a Scotsman. He is not good at speaking, but he is an understanding guy.
He is willing to communicate imitate the way passengers communicate, and it is perfect to describe this person as having no personality.]
There are dense small characters on the back of the document for notes.
[When Mr. David was sixteen, he found clues about the station through illegal websites and also found the location of the station. This ordinary man did not have extraordinary inspiration like other passengers, but after systematic training, he had excellent mixed martial arts ability and shooting skills, and was a light weapon expert.]
[He successfully became an employee of the station, entered the attacking group, and overcome difficulties for the pioneering team of Jiujie Station. As a reward, the station agreed to treat his mother with advanced cancer.]
[At twenty-six, we arranged a security job for David Bourne to retreat to the second line, and he had plenty of vacation to accompany his family.]
[To this day, he still works as a safety officer at SW station.]
[Hello, passenger, if you see this document, please treat your safety officer well. Mr. David is not a person who likes to chat.]
David Byrne said dryly: "Many passengers and I only meet one person, because after a place is investigated, they will go to the next place and never come back. After all, they can't get any useful clues and can't exchange panacea for repeated investigations. Are you right... Haha... Hehe... So, I never have the habit of introducing myself."
Jiang Xueming stretched out his hand: "My name is Jiang Xueming."
Bu Leixing also stretched out his hand and followed suit: "My name is Bu Leixing."
Mr. David was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the two brothers with one hand, one left and one right, and didn't know what to say, so he just held it up like this.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of opening the can, the friction between the iron spoon and the tin foil and the aluminum leather, and the movement of the mouth when chewing.
Jiang Xueming was not idle either. He cared about the security officer very much and read the identity card over and over again. There are probably many places to ask this brother for the next investigation.
In addition to basic information and notes, there are other things on the identity card, which makes him very concerned.
