Great Power Technology.

Chapter 483
That night, Xu Lei, together with the same group of technical assistance teams who arrived, had a good welcome banquet under the arrangement of the outpost security personnel.

Considering that they just came from China, the team specially arranged a local special dinner for them, such as charcoal grilled fish, grilled whole lamb, hand pilaf, masala, aloe vera juice, even if all the dishes are made by domestic chefs according to the recipes Made by herself, Xu Lei still tasted a clean and hygienic taste unique to the streets of Yindu.

However, her ability to adapt to the environment is not weak. The more she ate the meal, the more she let go, and in the end she was [-]% to [-]% full.
-
This is already considered a good result. You know, when she saw a lot of paste on the table, she thought she was going back to eat the instant noodles brought from China.

After the wind feast was over, Xu Lei still went for a walk in the field according to domestic habits. The security personnel in the camp had already explained the relevant safety rules to them. In the core area of ​​the camp, or the garrison area, safety is absolutely guaranteed. It is guaranteed, but if you leave the garrison area and go to a place where local people live outside the camp, the safety cannot be guaranteed [-]%.

Therefore, she carefully chose a wheat field closest to the core area in the garrison area, and sat down on the ridge.

At this time, it was past 10 o'clock in the evening. Except for a few lights in the garrison area, the surrounding farmland and villages were completely dark. Even in the valley basin of Hailan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Xu Lei had never seen it before. Such pure darkness.

She felt as if she had returned to the countryside when she was 3 years old.

This gave her a sense of intimacy that she hadn't seen for a long time, but under this intimacy, there was a trace of uneasiness buried in it.

Just as she was staring at the stars in the sky in a daze, and her body was about to fall backwards, footsteps suddenly came from behind her.

Xu Lei sat up in a jerk and looked back. The person who came was her senior brother Bo He, followed by a young girl - also a member of the first batch of technical assistance team, named Xie Ranjie.

"What are you doing here? I think you're going to lie down soon. This field ridge is no cleaner than the domestic ones. Don't accidentally lie down."

Bo He didn't continue talking, Xu Lei shivered, stood up quickly and turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone to check, and after confirming that there was no dirt in the place where she was sitting, she sat down again.

"I look at the stars, what else can I do. There is nothing to do in the first few days. Senior brother, how are you doing?"

Xu Lei's main direction is field management, and breeding is just an auxiliary. Now all kinds of equipment are still in the process of transportation and customs clearance, and it will take some time before she can really start working.

Bo He's main direction is water conservancy and field planning, which belong to the pre-steps of everyone else. Logically speaking, from the moment he arrives, he already has the conditions to start work.

"Ham, I plan to go shopping around tomorrow. There is always a gap between the information seen on the map and the information seen with the naked eye. I have to see it with my own eyes to know how to layout and plan."

"By the way, you will come with me tomorrow. Anyway, the equipment laying of our system also depends on the terrain. Let's cooperate in advance to avoid repeated rework later."

"Oh, I see."

Xu Lei simply replied, and Bo He and the two sat down beside her together. Xie Ranjie followed Xu Lei's example and looked up at the sky. After a while, he sighed and said:
"It's been a long time since I've seen so many stars, and I don't know whether to say that this place is pure or backward."

Bo He smiled slightly and replied:
"Theoretically speaking, the two are bound together. Modern agriculture has long been inseparable from purity. If you look at the large-scale wheat fields in Northeast China, which one is not dominated by large machinery, only backward Only in this place can we maintain purity.”

"That's true. To be honest, I still can't adapt to this kind of place anyway. It's quiet and dark. If I didn't know that there is a camp behind us, it would be as if I was abandoned to a planet without human habitation. "

In the dark, Xu Lei couldn't see Xie Ranjie's expression clearly, but she could imagine that the other's expression was probably the same as when she lost her way outside the village when she was a child—it had to be in winter, because in summer, there were everywhere It's frogs singing and birds chirping, it's very lively, and it doesn't make people feel scary at all.

Only absolute silence is scary, because you don't know what is hidden in that silence.

Bo He didn't answer Xie Ranjie's words, the three of them fell silent together, as if to verify what she just said, they quietly listened to the voices around them.

After a while, they noticed something strange in the silence.

It was indeed very quiet, but in this quietness, there was a vague and inexplicable voice.

Bo He frowned, and asked tentatively:
"Did you hear that?"

"I heard—was it the wind?"

Xu Lei asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't look like a cat, but it looks like a cat. Spring is here, and it seems normal to have a cat meow, right?"

Xu Lei nodded subconsciously, but in an instant, she felt something was wrong again.

The faint voice coming from a distance is really a bit too miserable, even if it is a cat meowing, it can't be so shrill, right?
It's not like she hasn't heard the sound of a cat meowing before. That kind of voice fluctuates up and down, and even has some cadences. But now, the meow faintly coming from the air has a feeling of hoarseness.

"Do you want to go over and have a look? It doesn't sound too far away."

Xie Ranjie grabbed Bo He's sleeve and asked, the latter hesitated for a moment and replied:
"We can go forward for a while until we get to the sentry box. It will definitely not work any further. We must not leave the garrison area at night."

"I know, I know, I'm just a little curious, and I'm not desperate. Lei Lei, are you going?"

"Then let's go together."

Xu Lei stood up, and the three of them walked along the ridge towards the direction of the sound. They are still in the core area, and the security is almost as tight as ten steps, so there is no need to worry about safety. question.

However, as they walked closer and closer, the weird voice began to become more and more sharp. At this time, everyone was sure that it was definitely not a meowing sound, because in that voice, there was still a vague Interspersed with a few words that are clearly of some language.

After walking to the sentry box on the outskirts of the garrison area, the three of them stopped. They turned to the sentinel standing guard and asked:

"Comrade, do you hear a voice over there?"

The sentinel nodded and replied:

"I heard it, it has been reported, and someone went to check it."

"What is that sound? Where did it come from?"

The sentinel raised his finger in one direction, and then replied:
"Over there, I don't know what the sound is. Our captain said that it might be a resident outside who is beating his wife. You should go back first. If there is anything unusual, the base will notify you."

Xu Lei looked in the direction of his finger, her heart tightened suddenly.

That direction happened to be the "haunted courtyard" they passed by during the day.

There was also a small courtyard where two corpses were buried in the cellar.

It made her shiver for no reason.

Logically speaking, if there is a legend about a place being haunted, then it proves that there must be something abnormal about this place. Even if it is not really haunted, there will often be frightening factors.

And now.
The mother and daughter who died unjustly because of the famine, the corpses that were not buried, and the souls who could not rest in peace are simply the classic beginning of horror movies.

Although Xu Lei herself is a materialist, it is undeniable that she is still a little apprehensive about this situation.

The sentinel obviously noticed her expression, so he smiled and comforted:
"Don't be afraid. The haunted yard is based on rumors. I went in when I was cleaning up the perimeter. It's not a big deal—there are potatoes growing in the field."

"No gods and ghosts can do 105. If you really feel that you are in a panic, we can blow it up another day, and we will definitely give priority to ensuring the working environment of scientists."

Hearing what he said, the three of them couldn't help laughing, but just as they were about to turn around and leave, two figures suddenly ran out from the distant darkness.

It was the sentinel who went out to investigate the situation and came back.

Xu Lei keenly noticed that the expressions on the faces of the two seemed a little dignified.

"Old Liu, what's the matter?"

The sentinel on the side asked.

The soldier named Lao Liu glanced at the sentinel, then at Xu Lei and the three of them, and then replied:

"The situation is a bit complicated. Report to the higher authorities first, be smart, load the gun, there is something wrong there. Comrade, you return to the residential area immediately, there may be danger here."

"What's the matter? Comrade, can you tell me?"

Old Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"You do have the right to know. There was a murder case earlier, and two farmers died."

Hearing this, the three of them were taken aback.

It turned out that the sound they heard before was the scream when the murder happened.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei suddenly felt a little sick—what she just heard were the groans of two lives struggling.

However, before her emotions spread, Old Liu continued:
"Someone's up to it, damn it, they killed someone and dragged the body into that little yard."

"That haunted courtyard??"

Bo He asked in shock.

"Yes. These Yindu guys are probably trying to make trouble with us and create panic with us here. Don't be afraid, you go back first. If they dare to attack the camp, we have plenty of ways to greet them."

While talking, Lao Liu assigned a soldier to escort the three of them back, while he stood still and notified all the guard posts by radio.

Walking on the road, Xu Lei looked back worriedly, some fragmented imaginary images flashed in her mind, and the fear in her heart became more and more intense.

Is the murderer really a human?

She would rather be a ghost.

Because if it was a human being, the situation here would be a bit too scary.

After killing two innocent people with his own hands, he then used them to create panic. Can this be considered a modern society?
