......

On the afternoon of that day, the military plane landed at a military airfield in southern Tibet and Yunnan closest to the border and completed the flight mission.

Further south are the vast uninhabited mountains, and the safest way to cross the high snow-capped mountains is to rely on a car or mule or horse to travel through the valley along the steep winding mountain paths.

Leng Ranbing sent Li Xiaodong to the military jeep that came to pick up the plane, explained a few words to the officer who picked up the plane, and then turned around and boarded the plane and returned to the capital immediately.

This time Li Xiaodong came to southern Tibet, Leng Ranbing would not accompany him throughout the whole process, and the order that General Liu gave her was only to ask her to find a way to pull Li Xiaodong, a "key person", over to help, as for what Leng Ranbing was going to do next, General Liu had other tasks to arrange.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Leng Ranbing's practice of "bringing people over and leaving", Li Xiaodong didn't say anything, after all, the true character of a soldier should be like this, everything must be based on obeying orders, not to mention that he also knew very well in his heart that in fact, Leng Ranbing was not willing to leave, in fact, she also wanted to be by his side.

"Let's go. ”

"Okay, Colonel Lee. ”

Seeing Leng Ran get on the plane, Li Xiaodong retracted his eyes and ordered the officer who picked up the plane to start the car and drive the jeep away.

The officer who received him was a 27-8-year-old major officer wearing a camouflage training uniform, his name was Chu An, and he was the highest-ranking officer in the forward station.

This time, he came to pick up the airport, and he was deeply surprised.

In his consciousness, since he was a colonel commissioner from the Ministry of National Defense, he should theoretically be about forty years old, but he didn't expect that this Colonel Li Xiaodong would be so young, you must know that he became a major staff officer at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, and he was already a very excellent existence among his peers, but the Colonel Li Xiaodong next to him was even younger than him.

Although he didn't talk much, he sighed in his heart: Sure enough, there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains.

The jeep drove for more than half an hour, and Li Xiaodong sat in the bumpy car, slowly getting acquainted with the staff officer Chu who was driving.

His mission to southern Tibet was essentially an expedition to investigate the savages.

According to Staff Officer Chu, as early as two months ago, an expedition team affiliated with the United Nations Organization of Biological Sciences was in the southern Tibetan border area to investigate the traces of wild men in the no-man's land, but that team suffered heavy casualties, they were attacked by a male wild man, killing two on the spot, wounding three others, and one person being taken away by wild men. Finally, back in the resident hospital, the three researchers who were bitten and injured by the wild man all had strange viral infections, their bodies began to mutate, and finally they all died in a high-fever coma.

From the hair and blood stains left by the savages, the researchers extracted the body genes of the savages, and through research and analysis, the researchers came to the conclusion that the savages who lived in this area should have undergone some kind of strange genetic mutations, and in the strict sense, the savages here can no longer be called savages, but should be called "mutated savages carrying high-risk viruses".

It was precisely because of the attack of the savages, and it was precisely because of the rare mutant savage genes that Leng Ranbing's intelligence organization became sensitive to this area, and they determined by comparing the genetic maps of the mutated savages: The first-generation genetic viruses developed by the Ghost Seeing Sorrow Organization contained genetic components that were highly similar to the genetic maps of the mutated savages.

Similar genes, mutated savages, high-risk viruses that cause human infections and mutations, and the Ghost Sorrow organization that used to be stationed here for scientific research many years ago...... Connecting these keywords, Leng Ranbing's intelligence organization can easily judge that perhaps many years ago, the southern Tibetan border was an important place for ghosts to develop the first generation of genetic viruses, and they must have used the wild people here to do some kind of biological experiment.

Li Xiaodong thought deeply about this speculation, but there was one thing Li Xiaodong never understood, why in the eyes of General Liu and Leng Ranbing, only he was the "key person" who came here to carry out the mission?

Did they feel that they had an innate ability to be immune to the virus, and that they decided that he was the right person for this mission?

The reason for this Leng Ranbing didn't say, and Li Xiaodong couldn't think of a reason, but these things didn't matter anymore, because he had come all the time, and there was no point in thinking about them anymore.

After five or six hours of bumpy rides around snow-capped mountains and through several densely vegetated valleys, the jeep finally arrived at a tent camp with barbed wire fences and bonfires lit everywhere in the dark.

The armed sentry with the gun on his back saluted, then pulled the barbed wire barrier that blocked the way, and the jeep drove all the way to the very center of the camp, a tent with two armed sentries standing guard.

"Colonel Li, the conditions here are not good, this tent that is usually used for military meetings is the largest one, I will arrange for people to clean it up immediately, and you will sleep here tonight." ”

Staff Officer Chu said, took the hot tea from the hand of a lieutenant company commander, and personally handed it to Li Xiaodong.

Li Xiaodong looked at the furnishings inside the tent, there were several computers, a military map with a radius of 100 miles, and even some weapons and ammunition and other military supplies were piled up, and he felt that the personnel here did not look like they were conducting scientific research, but like they were deploying some kind of military operation.

Staff Officer Chu saw his puzzled eyes and explained to him: "The savages here are not easy to deal with, although they are scarce in number, they are very dangerous, and their IQ is extremely high, they seem to be constantly evolving, usually elusive, it is difficult to see their traces, and when they meet them by chance, they can always escape by various methods, such as setting traps, circling in circles, luring us into the swamp, and they can even use homemade weapons, such as shooting us with bows and arrows, and then cooperate with each other to escape from the other direction." ”

"I have a strong feeling that the wildlings must be organized, as if there is a command structure behind the wildlings, commanding them, manipulating them, and confronting us in a tactical way that constantly consumes us. ”

"In addition to the difficult savages, the terrain conditions here are also very terrible, all kinds of poisonous insects and rats in the primeval jungle are endless, and the miasma in the forest is extremely deadly, I can't figure out when a thin miasma fog tent will be raised, and the general antidote is almost ineffective against miasma poisoning, we have five people died here because of miasma poisoning. ”

Staff Officer Chu pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva, and then put down the teacup in his hand and said: "You can't wear this major dress, it's inconvenient to wear a dress in the jungle, I'll ask Company Commander Duan to look for it and find a training uniform similar to your figure......"
