16 years

Finding people has completely different meanings than finding zombies.

The discovery of fresh corpses on Wrangel Island almost proved that Fu Yan and the others had found the right place.There must be Joe Eden's research institute hidden here, but it's not clear where.

Fu Yan squatted down and examined the corpse carefully.

The head of this corpse has disappeared, but judging from the skeleton, it is the skeleton of an adult woman.Her chest was cut open, and there was no organ left inside. It is not known whether it was dug out artificially or eaten by a polar bear.

The hard muscles such as the hands and feet were not damaged too much for the time being. Fu Yan randomly scratched twice with the knife and found that most of the blood in the opponent's body had been frozen, and only a small part leaked out due to the bumps.

The temperature on Wrangel Island was too low, and it was difficult to determine the time of death just by looking at the state of the corpse. Fu Yan thought about it, got up and gave up his seat to professional medical staff.

On this trip, Zhao Jincheng was like a parent who stuffed snacks in his children's schoolbags on the eve of a spring outing. He wished he could find one or two for Fu Yan, for fear that they would have nowhere to turn in this icy world.

Several military doctors consciously took over and carried the corpse into the house for a simple autopsy. Fu Yan looked around and asked, "Where's the bear?"

"The bear has fainted, and it's left outside in the field." The guard said.

"When a polar bear is hunting, it travels about a hundred kilometers a day." Liu Ruosong said: "According to this clue, maybe we can draw a range."

Fu Yan never expected that he, an air force colonel who was born in the Zhengmiao Red Military Academy, would now have to study the migration trajectory of polar bears.

It can be seen that there is no limit to learning, and one can use everything in one's life.

The military doctor acted quickly, and presented the detailed autopsy results that night.According to their investigation, the corpse was about 25 to 30 years old. There were traces of multiple drug experiments on the body, and there were still dense pinholes in the arms, which was a bit scary at first glance.

Her organs showed traces of being removed and stitched up. According to the autopsy report, this cutting and stitching was repeated at least three times, and most importantly, she had signs of pregnancy before her death, and the uterus on the corpse had been removed gone.

"That's how it happened." The military doctor who reported said: "According to our inspection, her death time should be about seven to fifteen days. There are traces of external freezing on her body. We guess that she may have entered sea water. I just don’t know if she floated along the water or was taken diving by the polar bear.”

"The former." Liu Ruosong said: "Polar bears have no natural enemies on Wrangel Island, so there is no need to dive with such a large carcass for so long before finding a place to eat."

After all, Liu Ruosong knew more about these natural knowledge, so the military doctor nodded and followed his train of thought.

"If this is the case, we can follow this clue to investigate." The military doctor said, "I remember that there is a river with seawater pouring out of it on this island?"

Indeed, and the river was not far from their scheduled investigation point, and even overlapped by dozens of meters with the edge of the ice area that Fu Yan and the others had drawn in advance.

"So the research institute should be in this area?" Feng Lei said, "In this case, I will arrange more people for tomorrow's investigation."

As he spoke, he looked at Fu Yan, as if he wanted to hear Fu Yan's statement.

After all, Fu Yan more or less represents the air force. Although there are only two helicopters, they are still the main force. If we can get the help of the Air Force Airway, the work on the ground will be carried out better.

But Fu Yanwu looked at the map by himself, frowning tightly.

Liu Ruosong saw that he didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help poking his thigh under the table, and reminded him in a low voice, "Brother?"

"I still suggest that the troops be divided into two groups." Fu Yan said, "This is safer."

"But the investigation of Mount Hara can be discussed later." Feng Lei said: "In the case of higher priority suspicions, maybe it is more important to guarantee the accurate results of one of the locations?"

He said it very politely, but it is obviously the safest solution now.

Before that, they had a consensus with each other - such an important research institute, the headquarters might have hot armed forces, if it is not necessary, they had better not divide their troops.

But Fu Yan was very tough on this matter.

"Tomorrow the temperature will rise a bit, and the weather is very suitable for high-altitude operations." Fu Yan said: "But there is a 40.00% probability of snow the day after tomorrow. Once it snows, even if the helicopter can barely take off, the detection equipment is also prone to errors. So if Miss tomorrow, and maybe we will miss the opportunity."

Moreover, the closer Fu Yan is connected with Wrangel Island, the stronger the vague premonition in his heart will be.

When Feng Lei mentioned the new plan just now, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

It is true that frontline officers are exceptionally sensitive to danger, but Fu Yan has never been a person who relies too much on intuition. In the past days, the subconscious first reaction can only be used as evidence for his judgment, but recently, he The trust in intuition is getting heavier.

Fu Yan didn't tell Liu Ruosong about this change, because he didn't know what to say. If Liu Ruosong asked him why, Fu Yan thought he couldn't answer.

Fortunately, so far, his intuition is accurate.

Feng Lei's understanding of Konglu is not as good as Fu Yan's. Hearing what he said, he hesitated.

Fortunately, there were still several hours before dawn, they stayed up day and night, and finally finally finalized a plan of action.

The general direction is still carried out according to the previous setting. Fu Yanhui and Feng Leibing will divide into two groups to scan the entire line of Mount Hara.On the other hand, Feng Lei will change the route of travel, shrink and check the formation, and conduct infiltrating investigations of suspected areas from another perspective of no man's land.

When dawn was approaching, the special operations team went to take a short rest for an hour to recharge their batteries for the next aerial work.

Liu Ruosong hadn't developed their wartime skills of being able to fall asleep by closing their eyes, so he couldn't fall asleep while rolling on the camp bed, so he just got up and tiptoed out of the tent.

The temperature on Wrangel Island in the middle of the night was more than ten degrees lower than that in the daytime, and the cold wind was howling outside. Liu Ruosong wrapped his collar tightly, and he couldn't keep his eyes open due to the wind.

The starry sky was crumpled into a long river of stars hanging in the sky, and the camp was quiet, except for the night watchman standing by the heater, counting the heartbeat and breathing in the deep and long night.

Liu Ruosong walked far away, but suddenly found a figure standing quietly in the night not far from the camp.

"Shao Qiu?" Liu Ruosong was a little surprised: "You didn't go to rest?"

"I've slept." Shao Qiu turned to look at him when he heard the sound, "I've had enough sleep."

He dreamed of Fang Sining again just now.

The sea of ​​fire in Shao Qiu's dream is always so bright in color, as if it won't fade no matter how long it takes.

The dream this time is not quite the same as usual, before he could only see Fang Sining mixed in those blurred and abstract color blocks twisted into a ball of mixed paint, but this time, he could see Fang Sining's face clearly.

In his sleep, his eyes meticulously and greedily described every detail of Fang Sining, even the burn scars on his skin were clearly visible.

Fang Sining stood close to him, opened and closed his lips slightly, and seemed to say something, but Shao Qiu didn't hear it clearly.

He stubbornly wanted to stretch out his hand to reach Fang Sining, but the two of them were so close yet so far apart, Shao Qiu tried desperately to reach forward, but there was always a slight difference.

The hem of Fang Sining's clothes gently floated back from his fingertips, his eyebrows were warm and soft, with a little bit of unnoticeable sadness.

Then Shao Qiu watched him being engulfed by the sea of ​​flames again and again.

I should have woken up earlier, Shao Qiu thought.

At dawn, the field team was ready to go. Feng Lei and Fu Yan led their respective teams and gave each other a military salute outside the station.

"Everything went well." Feng Lei said.

"Everything went well." Fu Yan said.

The two captains each took a step back and entered their respective battlefields.

When the sky was bright, the helicopter took off from the ice field and headed to Mount Hara according to the predetermined coordinates. Liu Ruosong sat in the cabin, this time he didn't stare at Fu Yan, but couldn't help looking at Shao Qiu.

In the early hours of the morning, what Shao Qiu had said to him was still ringing in his ears, which made Liu Ruosong unstoppably concerned.

"Actually, some things are preordained." Shao Qiu said: "If a thing happens to the same person over and over again, in various forms and reasons, it means that it is the arrangement of God, and it is a fate that cannot be escaped. "

When Shao Qiu said this, there were many emotions in his eyes that Liu Ruosong could not understand.The wind on the ice field made the hem of his clothes rattle. Looking at him, Liu Ruosong always felt that he would be blown to pieces by the wind in the next second.

But I have to say that Shao Qiu's unintentional words also put a little pressure on Liu Ruosong. He kept repeating the four characters "cycle and cycle" in his mind, and couldn't help but glance at Fu Yan's back.

Fu Yan was unaware of the turbulent waves in his heart. When the flight approached the predetermined coordinate point, Fu Yan began to lower the altitude and turned on the scanning equipment.

He Feng's plane circled to the other end and started working at the same frequency as Fu Yan. At the same time, Feng Lei's land communication was also connected to the orbit, ready to exchange information with them at any time.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the instrument’s results, Fu Yan’s height was kept so low that he could even see the details of Mount Hara with the naked eye. Liu Ruosong and Shao Qiu leaned against the doors on both sides of the helicopter while holding the armrests, subconsciously looking through the portholes look out.

Halfway through the scan, Fu Yan steered the helicopter across a mountain depression, Shao Qiu glanced out, and then froze suddenly.

Liu Ruosong saw that the little blood on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Fang Sining." Shao Qiu muttered to himself.

His voice was too low, almost like a mosquito, under the noise of the helicopter rotor, Liu Ruosong couldn't hear what he said clearly, so he asked at the top of his throat, "What?!"

"Fang Sining!" Shao Qiu suddenly raised his voice, and even knelt down on one knee.Liu Ruosong subconsciously grabbed his shoulders, for fear that he would open the door and jump from the helicopter in agitation.
