What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Riverside.

In a commercial vehicle parked on the roadside of Jiangbin, Fang Pingfang, Ye Chong, and Li Shijue looked at the sudden heavy rain outside, all speechless.

The sun was scorching just now, but in the blink of an eye there was a violent storm. God turned his back too quickly.

Moreover, the rain was ridiculously heavy, as if it had put a thick filter on the world.

"Dr. Fang, what should we do next? The investigation seems to have reached a bottleneck. Just the three of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out the results in a short time..." Li Shijue, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly turned around and said to the two of them. .

The three of them came to Star City to verify information about "water monsters rescuing people."

During this period of time, they learned from many sources and verified from multiple angles, and basically confirmed that what the previous poster on social media said was true. At the time of the incident, a brief strange mist suddenly appeared on the river, and It is true that the person involved cannot swim. Without external help, it would be difficult for him to get out of the river and reach the shore.

But other than that, they found no other substantial evidence.

Tests on the clothes worn by the client that night, investigation of the traces where he landed, sampling of the river water in the area where he fell into the water, and underwater exploration also found no abnormalities.

They also searched for a lot of past news, accidents and stories related to this river, conducted analysis and excavation, and conducted on-site verification investigations.

But this kind of thing is often like this. If you think everything is normal, then any story or legend will feel like nonsense and full of flaws. But if you make assumptions in advance and imagine a variety of possibilities, you will feel that every story and every legend may be related to what you are investigating.

A lot of information needs to be verified, and it is obvious that the three of them cannot do it. Although the information collection and processing department of "Shenxing Technology" assists them, and there are also local staff who provide various assistance to them, but The actual investigation is still up to them.

Especially for their "threesome", the only one who is truly technically capable is Fang Pingfang. Li Shijue is mainly responsible for security and some dangerous practical operations, and Ye Chong is more responsible for fulfilling " Shenxing Technology's secret department has the function of resource calling and information transmission.

"Just before it rained, I received a call from Xiao Zhou. Their investigation in the Chongyun Mountains today was very fruitful. They may have found traces of the 'invisible insects' that were taken away by the 'giant raptors' before, or maybe they were a kind of New special creatures, and he also has a set of theoretical conjectures about the birth of new creatures,

And the briefing has been given to ‘Mr. Liang’. I estimate that if 'Mr. Liang' approves his briefing, then our investigation in Star City will come to an end and we will return to Haixi Province. "Fang Pingfang, who was sitting in the back seat, revealed some news that surprised the other two people.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Shijue, who was still in the driver's seat, broke the silence in the car: "I don't understand why. What is the purpose of 'Mr. Liang'? Is it to capture creatures like 'giant birds of prey' and 'invisible insects'?" , or do you want to study the reasons for their appearance? Or do you have other purposes? Ever since we formed a six-person investigation team, the various orders given by 'Mr. Liang' have always made me feel that they change every day... and are not very professional. "

In the past, Li Shijue would never have said these complaints about "Mr. Liang", even if the other person was his colleague. But during this period of time, the six-person team spent time together and built a deeper relationship and trust than colleagues. There are some things that everyone thinks so, so it doesn't hurt to talk about them. Even if these words are passed to the ears of "Mr. Liang", don't worry too much. After all, his starting point is still the mission and work.

Fang Pingfang actually had a similar feeling. Just like the last time she found traces of the "giant raptor" in Wushu Mountain, she always felt that "Mr. Liang" did not give them enough equipment and personnel support at the first time, and it seemed that he did not capture the bird. "Giant Raptor" plan.

Although there was not much communication with "Mr. Liang" in the past, the overall impression was that he was decisive, efficient, and direct, and the deployment of resources was also very fast and sufficient, just like the time he went to Qinling no-man's land to investigate. Staffing and equipment composition are the norm for secret department field investigations.

After she, Mi Qiao, Captain Li and other six people formed an investigation team and arrived in Haixi Province, the orders and tasks given to them by "Mr. Liang" were very "erratic" and often even asked her to "make her own decisions", which was very unfair. It is in line with the behavior style of "Mr. Liang" in the past.

Fang Pingfang recently felt more and more like the investigation behavior of herself and the entire team was part of "Mr. Liang's" experiment.

But no matter what, they are just employees, receiving high salaries and bonuses. The "Mr. Liang" who provides the money or the boss of "Shenxing Technology" is the one who gives orders. They can ask questions, but they have no way to refuse the task. , unless you don’t want to do it anymore.

Fang Pingfang said: "'Mr. Liang' keeps us running around to investigate the visions everywhere. There should be some deep meaning that we don't know. Either he thinks there is a connection between these visions, or he wants us to See these creatures from multiple perspectives and gain more information."

Ye Chong, who had been looking down at the tablet, also raised his head and asked: "Dr. Fang, if we are transferred back, what will happen to the investigation here in Star City? Will other people come to continue the investigation, or will we just put it on hold for now? Have you done useless work?"

"Just follow the arrangements." Fang Pingfang didn't say much about this.

After the rain subsided a little, they drove away from the river and returned to their hotel.

As a result, as soon as the three people returned to their respective rooms, the hotel had a power outage. However, a waiter was immediately in the corridor to ask the guests who came out to inquire to be calm. The backup power supply would be activated within ten minutes and the power supply would be restored.

Ye Chong didn't care much at first, because the batteries of the devices he was using now were still full, and the network was not even the hotel's WIFI, and whether the hotel had electricity or not did not affect his operations.

But what he didn't expect was that his mobile phone and other devices lost signal, and even the special equipment assigned to him by "Shenxing Technology" could not be connected.

This surprised him. The impact of this blackout was so wide?

But no matter how large the scope of influence is, it is impossible for the equipment of "Shenxing Technology" to lose its signal?

Ye Chong walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the curtains, frowned and looked at Star City in the rain outside, and found that the area where the power outage was not large, there was still a large area with electricity visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the mid-air. He suddenly discovered that there was a vaguely huge shadow that looked like a cactus or a wooden man in the sky above a certain building not far away, but in the blink of an eye, After a while, it disappeared, making him wonder if he had seen it wrong.

Rubbing his eyes, he stared in that direction carefully for a while. When the hotel's power supply was restored and the equipment's signal was restored, he didn't see anything anymore. Ye Chong shook his head and murmured to himself:

"This city is really a bit evil..."

…

No matter Zhou Rui, Mi Qiao and others in Chongyun Mountain, or Fang Pingfang, Li Shijue and others in Star City, they would never have thought that at this moment, "Mr. Liang" would be in Haixi Province, personally chasing the bird. "Giant Raptor".

In the endless mountainous area at the junction of the two provinces in the northern part of Wushu Mountain, a figure with metallic skin all over his body slowly emerged from "nothing" and appeared on the mountainside.

His pupils without eyelids were looking into the distance. Dozens of drones of different sizes were hovering around him, and dozens more were patrolling the mountains further away.

Five days ago, Mr. Liang started tracking the "giant raptor". After analyzing the massive data through AI, he narrowed down the possible range of the "giant raptor" to a few areas. Mr. Liang then personally tracked one of the areas. conducted a search and then used his special powers to find traces of the "giant raptor".

In fact, Mr. Liang himself did not expect to find a "giant raptor" so quickly, but what he didn't expect even more was that the "giant raptor" had obviously had many "predatory blood-drinking" experiences and had a very high degree of mutation and evolution. , after encountering him, he didn't have any desire to attack or fight, he just flapped his wings and ran away with all his strength.

So during these seven days, Mr. Liang has actually been in the process of "chasing".

First, they chased them from the mountainous area in northern Haixi Province to Jiangyou Province, then from Jiangyou Province to Zhijiang Province, and finally returned to Haixi Province and entered the mountainous area in the northern part of Wushu Mountain.

This "giant raptor" basically just runs away, with no thought of counterattack at all. However, it really has various ways of escaping. Not only can it be visually invisible, but it can also interfere with other birds by affecting it. Drone judgment.

It's just that it has thick skin and a strong ability to resist being hit. It is also incredibly able to withstand electric shocks. The anesthesia gun is naturally ineffective, but with such a powerful body, it still just flies and runs away without wanting to be hit at all.

This behavior pattern is neither consistent with Mr. Liang’s big data statistics on “blood-eating creatures” nor previous incomplete recorded observations of this “giant raptor.”

When this big bird was hunting "invisible insects" in Wushu Mountain before, it was completely overbearing and powerful! Even though he knew that a third party was watching, he still forcibly dug the ground and dug out the "invisible insects" and took them away.

Therefore, the behavior pattern of the "Giant Raptor" this time left Mr. Liang a little confused. Did some of his performances reveal his strength? Or does this "giant raptor" have some kind of instinctive talent that can detect real danger?

Although "Shenxing Technology" has official endorsement in some research, the attack equipment that it directly controls in China is still limited in the lethality of the attack equipment. Therefore, when the "giant raptor" is not afraid of the tranquilizer gun or the In the case of electric shock, Mr. Liang could only find a way to embroider it first, and then find an opportunity to get closer and capture it himself.

In fact, Mr. Liang can report it to "Old He" and then take down this "giant raptor" in a faster way. After all, this guy has caused real casualties before and is a high threat and hidden danger to mankind. .

But on the one hand, Mr. Liang wanted to see what other abilities and methods this "giant raptor" had - he was certain that after this "giant raptor" had predatoryly drank blood from "invisible insects", this period Over time, predatory blood-drinking has occurred at least once more, and because the living environment has changed greatly, an extremely large number of mutations have occurred.

On the other hand, Mr. Liang did not want to kill the "giant raptor" directly. He hoped to "capture it alive".
