“When was this reservoir built?”
The leader asked a pair of twin brothers with thick glasses in the team.
"Hold on."
One of them opened his backpack and began to take out computers, power supplies and other things, while the other took out sophisticated satellite antennas, receiving amplifiers and other connecting equipment from his backpack.
After finding a relatively flat terrain, the two brothers acted as one, performing a dazzling array of maneuvers.
A simple information platform was established.
One of them moved a stone to use as a stool and sat down.
He swung the fingers of both hands, and the next second he began to operate at a speed that was difficult for others to see.
Sometimes the lines of text flashed on the screen like a slide show.
In just less than two minutes, as the screen flashed, the option of data on reservoirs in Lyon and its surrounding areas had been reached.
I clicked in and typed a few commands, inserted a USB drive and read some software information. The original authorization item turned into green, which was acceptable.
"It's out. It's a tributary reservoir of the Rhone River. It was built in the late 1960s and was designed mainly to provide electricity to the surrounding residents. In the early 21st century, its main function was changed to water storage and flood discharge. There are only two generators left that can work normally, but they have not been turned on."
The younger twin brother read out the information slowly.
“Why isn’t it working?”
A female member of the team asked subconsciously.
"The local government believes that the cost of maintaining the generator set is higher than the cost of buying electricity from other places, so the hydroelectric power plant was 'temporarily' closed."
“Can you find out what’s under the reservoir?”
"Yes, but it's not specific. It says that a small group of Kudi residents were relocated last century, so there may still be some old houses left. Apart from that, there is not much information."
The people in the team discussed this and nodded to each other.
"Very good, thank you Silk, knowing that there are buildings under the reservoir is a great help."
"By the way, can you help us contact the fastest place to rent diving equipment?"
The older twin brother immediately took out his cell phone, scrolled through the address book, and found a few numbers.
Two consecutive calls were made, and after five minutes of description and bargaining, he gave an OK gesture to everyone in the team.
After hanging up the phone, he gave a brief explanation.
"The people from the Leixing Diving Hobby Association are willing to rent us a few sets of diving equipment, but we have to go to Lyon to pick them up ourselves. The price is five times the depreciation. If we need diving guidance, it will be charged separately. If you need it, we can go now."
This group of people has obviously been together for a long time and they are very efficient.
Immediately, four or five people, including the twin brother, went out to drive to Lyon.
And the others didn't waste time either.
For long-term considerations, they took off their equipment and tools and began to look for flat terrain around them.
It is close to water sources and near exploration points, which is perfect for camping.
With solid outdoor knowledge and clear division of labor, a group of people set up a proper campsite in less than half an hour.
Some people were responsible for making a fire, while others took out rations and started preparing today's late lunch.
In front of the fire, the old map was spread out again.
The team members who were free around also gathered together.
Although the captain, whose muscles are no less than Schwarzenegger's, looks burly, he is actually just a 24-year-old young man.
The oldest member of the group was, in fact, a girl of twenty-eight.
"My friends, I don't know what the future holds, but what those big guys have done without telling us ordinary people is enough to show us that we can't just sit there and wait for death."
"We must thank the Oriels brothers for this. Without their outstanding skills, we would not have known this secret by chance."
The twin brother raised his mineral water bottle and saluted everyone with a smile.
"I hope we find the right place this time! If we still find nothing this time, there will only be one pre-selected spot left."
The blond leader is named Philil, and he has been on this expedition with his companions for a month and a half.
The cause of this series of actions was originally just a seemingly ordinary fire.
It happened in a family in the suburbs of Paris.
It’s just that everyone lives closer together, so they pay more attention and see more than the outside world.
It was not arson as reported in the outside news, and the murderer was not found.
They don't know how the so-called "murderer" who appeared in the news came about, but they know much more than the outside world.
It has to be said that some people are born geniuses and have talents that ordinary people envy.
And the twin brothers are obviously one of them.
Their talents and achievements in the field of information technology have won praise from many teachers who have guided them.
But these two are also some of the best.
Due to their outstanding abilities, after they came to prominence, people from the school often asked them to participate in various competitions, which the two of them never tired of.
So the two of them learned to hide their shortcomings afterwards, but their interest in information technology did not diminish.
On the day of the "arson", the Oriel brothers happened to hack into Fili's home camera, intending to see if Fili would come out after taking a shower. They remembered that last time this hateful woman posted Daisy's private photos on the school network.
They plan to help Daisy get her revenge.
Although it was against the law, the two brothers had used their abilities to uphold justice more than once, and they were confident that it would not leave any traces.
But no one could have imagined that instead of seeing what they wanted to see that day, they saw a more shocking, or even terrifying scene.
When Kolia came out of the bathroom, she was covered not with water droplets but flames.
At that time, Kolia seemed to be unaware of it at all, and the two brothers once thought that Kolia had super powers.
But soon, the two brothers watched the scene that was concealed by the police with goose bumps all over their bodies in horror.
Kolia doesn't have any superpowers, she just can't feel pain or the flames on her body, but that doesn't mean she is not afraid of burning.
While doing the usual actions, such as making coffee and eating biscuits, the human body is slowly charring and carbonizing until it falls to the ground and cannot move.
It's not just Kolia, the whole family is like this, but they don't seem to notice it.
Then the house was ignited by flames, causing the fire in the so-called "arson case".
The fire was not actually very severe and it took a long time to burn the human body. The house was only partially burned.
Less than twenty minutes after the incident, the fire truck arrived. Since the police had taken over surveillance, the two brothers withdrew from their hidden backstage for fear of being discovered.
But according to Kolia's neighbors, military vehicles arrived later.
This incident caused a lot of buzz in the neighborhood, and finally, out of nowhere, an arson case popped up and the "murderer" was found.
The Oriels brothers felt that there might be some hidden story behind this matter, and they seemed to have heard of similar things in their memories.
After careful recollection, I remembered that it was a story I heard from my good friend Philier's grandfather when I was a child at his house.
A story about a powerful wizard who eradicates a soul-burning demon.
At that time, Philier's grandfather said after telling the story that it was actually a fabricated lie, so they didn't take it too seriously.
Although many points don't match at this moment, the burning characteristics alone always remind the two of that story.
What happened next was unexpected.
The twin brothers used their own skills to hack into the network of the government agency above, wanting to see what happened to the "arson case", but they unexpectedly discovered the real "shocking secret".
Many strange and terrifying things have happened quietly, and the people are kept in the dark.
Even the most talented people can only dance with the Internet and data, but they cannot cope with this situation.
public?
I'm afraid this is not a good choice. Not only will it expose yourself, but ordinary people may not believe it either.
Even if you believe it, the result may be worse. Unless the world is ending right now, the result of causing chaos will be that no one can survive.
For a moment, the brothers in dilemma thought of their childhood stories again and thought of their good friend Philier.
Philier's treasure map and scroll, which had once been laughed at by the two, also began to seem mysterious.
