Chapter 1217: Xiyuan Accident
The convoy shuttled through the old forest, bumping along for who knows how long. Just when I was half asleep and half awake, Mr. Wu suddenly woke me up and said, "Qian Yu, the video conference has been moved up. It seems that the higher-ups are a little anxious. I have contacted the action team and the helicopter to pick you up will be here soon."
"What meeting is so urgent?" I asked with a frown.
"I don't know, but if the higher-ups are so urgent, it must be a very important meeting. As the director of the Intelligence Bureau, you need to provide all kinds of intelligence data in the meeting, so this meeting really can't be held without you."
While talking, I heard a huge roar suddenly. I rolled down the window, looked out, and then saw that under the night sky, a helicopter had already hovered above the convoy.
"Stop the car." Mr. Wu said to the driver, then took out his walkie-talkie and whispered, "All drivers, slow down, the first car is about to stop."
As Mr. Wu finished speaking, the convoy slowly stopped. I opened the door and got out of the car. I looked up at the helicopter above and asked, "How far is it from the Intelligence Bureau?"
"The straight line distance is not far, but if you continue to take the car, it will probably take at least three hours to get there."
At this time, a rope ladder was thrown down from the helicopter. Mr. Wu looked at me, then grabbed the rope ladder and slowly climbed up.
"Qian Yu, what's going on?" At this time, Mao Buhui and Fu Chunya also got out of the car and looked at me suspiciously.
"Something has happened, I need to hurry back, you two can come with me."
After I finished speaking, I thought, and in an instant, a pair of dark golden wings spread out from behind me. With a sound of "whoosh", the wings fluttered, and I was like a flying bird, instantly taking off from the ground and heading straight for the helicopter.
Although the members of the action team were already used to seeing people like us who practice cultivation, they were also shocked when they saw the dark golden wings behind me, which were still surrounded by a layer of blood mist, and they all looked at me with a look of surprise.
Wu Sheng, Mao Buhui, Fu Chunya and I entered the cabin one after another. Wu Sheng gave the pilot an OK sign, and then the helicopter quickly flew towards the Intelligence Bureau under the cover of night.
Half an hour later, the helicopter hovered over a cliff. I looked down and saw that the cliff, which seemed to be covered with bushes, was shaking and slowly opening to the sides.
After seeing this scene, not only I, but even Mao Buhui was amazed: "This intelligence agency is really generous. It's ok to hollow out the mountain, but they even transformed the top of the mountain into a passage for helicopters to enter and exit. If this place is discovered by the evil organization, the intelligence agency will be forced to move again. Wouldn't the people on top be in great pain?"
"This is not something we should consider. Besides, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to support it. When the time comes, let Qian Yu support it in front." Wu Sheng said with a smile.
I twitched my mouth when I heard it, and then I pointed to the top of my head and said, "Let Mr. Huang support it. I can't do it."
As I spoke, the helicopter had slowly landed on the helipad, and a group of people jumped off the helicopter and walked straight into the lobby of the intelligence agency.
After entering the lobby, I found that the members of the Intelligence Department were busy and nervous. The satellite phone was very busy. He Feng, the acting director of the Intelligence Department, was holding a notebook and constantly recording something. The
people in the Intelligence Screening Department were also constantly screening out useful information, then classifying it and sending it to the safe house.
It can be said that at this moment, the atmosphere in the Intelligence Bureau was both busy and tense.
"What happened?" I asked in a low voice with a frown.
"Director Zhang." He Feng, acting director of the Intelligence Department, and Qu Yi of the Intelligence Screening Department greeted me, and then I heard He Feng continue, "Something happened in Xiyuan. It seems that a group of ancient tombs suddenly became abnormal. Many deceased people suddenly crawled out of the tombs and turned into zombies wandering on the grassland. The herders there suffered heavy losses. After the report was filed, the case was taken over by our colleagues stationed in Xihuang. At present, our intelligence personnel stationed in Xihuang have rushed to the scene of the incident and are sending back the data item by item."
"Something happened in Xiyuan? And it was a group of ancient tombs that happened?"
I was shocked when I heard the news. Indeed, I am now too sensitive to the word "ancient tomb".
Moreover, the Central Highlands is sparsely populated and full of grasslands. It is a paradise for herders. Most importantly, burials do not seem to be popular in the Central Highlands. They have their own funeral customs. For example, religious believers have their own unique funeral methods.
The most famous of these is sky burial.
The so-called sky burial is to let the birds in the sky eat the corpse clean. This is a sky burial.
But sky burial sounds good, but it is actually extremely horrible and bloody. The relatives of the deceased generally cannot bear to watch it. After putting the corpse down, they will leave.
However, in such a region where sky burial is regarded as the highest funeral ceremony, ancient tombs have appeared, and they are even ancient tombs?
"Could it be... from the Qin Dynasty? But, the time for awakening has not come yet. Could it be that Zhao Gao is behind this? But... what about those zombies?" I frowned, with a solemn look in my eyes.
Zombies are different from zombies. Even the lowest level zombies may grow slowly by absorbing and exhaling murderous energy over the years, but zombies are just the lowest level of walking corpses. They have no thoughts and no strong attack power. They are just like wild beasts, and they will bite any living thing they see.
"What dynasty are the ancient tombs from?" I asked.
"It's not clear yet, and intelligence personnel are waiting for further investigation." He Feng glanced at the tablet in his hand and said, "However, from various signs, this ancient tomb group is at least more than a thousand years old."
"More than a thousand years ago? Could it really be from the Qin Dynasty?"
"Director Zhang, the video conference will start in five minutes." Chen Meng suddenly walked out, holding a tablet and said.
"Okay." I nodded, and then led a group of people and walked quickly into the office.
After entering the office, Chen Meng took out an all-metal tablet from a suitcase, turned it on, and placed it in front of me. After some debugging, the screen suddenly appeared.
It was no different from an ordinary video conference, with several faces appearing on the screen. However, when I saw the face in the center, my heart skipped a beat.
Because this person was none other than Zhang Wudi!
