The Ninth Secret Bureau

v6 Chapter 189: silence

In Zhou Tuan's next brief description, Chen Xian probably knew what kind of existence it was... The abnormal life that was suppressed. The number one felon in the deepest part of the prison came from the tidal flat of a fishing village in southern my country.

According to Zhou Tuan, that tidal flat is the dead tidal flat in the mouth of fishermen. Regardless of the size of the tide, when the blue-green water recedes, the tidal flat will not leave any shrimps, crabs or shellfish. It is as quiet and empty as usual, even those washed by the sea. No **** landed ashore will be left behind.

It seems that there is some power to keep this tidal flat intact, and it maintains this "cleanest" posture day after day.

Until that day.

On September 9, 1996, with a terrifying rainstorm, Typhoon "Sally" made landfall from Guangdong Province. It was the most terrifying typhoon that has appeared in our country since the founding of the People’s Republic of my country. Everywhere is a scene after the disaster.

Houses were torn apart by strong winds, and many fishing boats along the coast were directly overturned and sunk into the ocean. A lot of precipitation flooded the main roads of cities and towns, and the entire coastal area was devastated... and that piece of land. The dead tidal flats in the mouths of fishermen also exposed part of what was buried in the ground.

The first thing that was discovered was a huge, thin humanoid arm.

"That exposed arm on the tidal flat is nearly sixty meters long. Think about how terrifying it looks." Zhou Tuan said, shaking the soot slightly, and continued to talk to Chen Xian. "At first, the fishermen thought it was a rock buried under the tidal flat, but when we rushed past, we took a helicopter and looked in the sky...that's something similar to a human arm!"

"This anomalous life you are talking about...is in human form?" Chen Xian asked curiously.

"Yes, at least most of the physical characteristics are similar to those of humans, and the scientific research department also tested its whole body when it was asleep. The internal organs, bones, and muscles are basically similar to humans." Zhou Tuan nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he put his cigarette **** on the edge of the ashtray.

"We discovered the thing in the morning. The excavation started on the same day. We have been digging for three days before digging the thing out of the ground. When we tried our best to successfully transport the thing to Lop Nur, it was almost an hour later. moon."

The excavation work is more difficult than Zhou Tuan imagined, but compared with the subsequent long-distance transportation work, the former is much easier, because I want to transport such a huge piece of "goods" from the south of the motherland to Lop Nur in the northwest...

"It's too difficult!" Zhou Tuan still had a headache when he thought of the past. It seemed that that experience left him a lot of psychological shadow, "It is necessary to ensure that no one on the road will find out what we are transporting. I also need to make sure that the thing won’t wake up during this long-distance transportation. Do you know how difficult it is for us... I'm just like a bodyguard along the way. Following that thing, it makes me nervous for a long time to catch my breath. !"

"Why didn't you deal with it on the spot?" Chen Xian asked questioningly, "isn't it easier to execute that thing directly on the tidal flat?"

"I also thought about it at the time, but...it has neither harmed people nor performed other extreme actions. It is not compliant to kill it like this. After all, our country talks about human rights, and abnormal lives also have their right to live." Zhou Tuan said with a sigh, "As the saying goes, there is no rule to make a circle, so many eyes are watching..."

After that, Zhou Tuan frowned again.

"But that creature... it's better to kill it...it's a pity that we don't have this ability..."

"How do you say?" Chen Xian looked at him curiously.

"It was in a deep sleep state from the beginning. We tested its vital signs with equipment. It has heartbeat and breathing, and its pulse is steady... But in 1999, it suddenly woke up without warning. When Zhou Tuan said here, he seemed to have lingering fears, and his face became heavier. "The prison used to imprison these abnormal lives is divided into several layers. Because it is too large, it can only be sent to the lowest level. , There are six other anomalous beings living there with it, and each of them is an existence that we cannot kill."

"Those abnormal beings should be very strong, right?" Chen Xian asked.

"Strong?" Zhou Tuan nodded with a wry smile, "If they run out of one, any first-tier city in the country can be completely occupied. If they want to lose their combat effectiveness again and be forcibly imprisoned, no amount of support from the headquarters can do that. When it arrives, I have to do it myself."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Tuan lit a cigarette again, and then slowly started smoking.

"None of us expected it to wake up suddenly, so we were not prepared enough. It started killing frantically as soon as it woke up. In just five minutes, the level of prison where it was held...all creatures Extinct."

"Six anomalous lives that can be called natural disaster levels, sixteen foreigners with strength comparable to major ministers, and nearly a hundred fully armed combatants... Even so many people can't match that monster. It only took five minutes. Kill them all."

"But according to our investigation, we found that the monster didn't seem to eat people, nor did it eat the abnormal life. It just killed them by some cruel methods, and then... it went to the darkest corner of the prison and squatted. Cried."

"Cry?" Chen Xian looked surprised, "Why does that monster cry?"

"I don't know." Zhou Tuan shook his head, "Up to now, those are the unsolved mysteries of our secret bureau. The Ministry of Scientific Research has not come to a conclusion after so many years of research, but it is certain...that monster seems to be really sad. Although we don’t know what it has gone through, there is no way to disguise that kind of extreme sadness."

Having said this, Zhou Tuan paused, his expression also becoming puzzled.

"That kind of emotion can very well infect others, it seems that even abnormal life will be infected. The scientific research department has done experiments with its crying audio. Ninety-five percent of creatures will think of something after hearing its crying... think of something. Memories that made myself sad."

"Is this a special ability of it?" Chen Xian asked curiously.

"I don't know, it should be regarded as it." Zhou Tuan shook his head, "After it killed all the creatures in that level of prison, I also rushed there with reinforcements from the headquarters, and I managed to control it, but I There is no way to kill it."

"Afterwards, the Ministry of Scientific Research carried out a series of execution tests on it. Without exception, all the execution tests failed. Its skinny body like a mummy-like torso has no way to destroy or harm it physically. , We also tried other methods in turn, just two words, it's useless!"

"However, in those experiments, the Scientific Research Department has figured out some of its characteristics. In fact, its desire to attack is not strong. It will not actively attack those creatures that keep quiet. But once it hears a sound exceeding a decibel, its Emotions will become manic. Whether it is a machine or a creature, it will desperately destroy it until it stops making any sound. After about half a minute, its emotions will gradually calm down..."

"According to the conclusions given by the Ministry of Scientific Research, its sound pickup range is actually very large. Since our underground base has better sound insulation, it cannot hear the sound from upstairs, but once it is placed in the wild, it is natural. Under the environment, its pickup range will expand to about 50 kilometers...so the Ministry of Scientific Research gave it a name."

"silence."

Hearing this, Chen Xian couldn't sit still, because he had realized how terrifying this ancient creature was... Once it was exposed to the natural environment, any target that made a sound of more than a decibel in a radius of 50 kilometers would be affected by it. Kill or destroy, if there is a large city nearby, the consequences would be disastrous!

"It moves at around Mach ten, and can hardly evade attacks. Any obstacle blocking its advancement will be torn apart with its sharp claws... It is like a humanoid ultimate weapon, do you understand?" Zhou Tuan said Here I am a little excited, and my face is very ugly, "Only I can suppress it, but I can't guard it all the time. If one day it breaks through the cage of Base 32 and runs to the outside world... "

"I'll help you deal with it."

Chen Xian said without hesitation, he seemed to be ready to execute the abnormal life.

"Isn't it awake? I'll take a moment to go to Base 32 with you today, and wait until I deal with it..."

"unnecessary."

Zhou Tuan shook his head, as if his emotions calmed down a lot.

"In the past few years, it has not been awakened once or twice. After about forty-seven hours after it woke up in 1999, it fell asleep again, and then after three years, it woke up again. That time It stayed awake for a long time, probably more than a month, and then it fell asleep again..."

"Over and over again, the monster has woken up six times over the years, and it takes longer than one time to wake up, so we have already had experience dealing with it. As long as the base is not destroyed by external forces, it is impossible for it to cause damage to the outside world. The slightest impact."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Tuan raised his hand and patted Chen Xian's shoulder heavily.

"This is not what I'm talking to you about this time, I have a task to give you."
