Chapter 1912

Although the uninhabited village is scary, the rescue team has 9 people, which is more powerful.

In addition, everyone has guys in their hands. The most important thing is that, in addition to the civilian strong flashlights equipped on tactical helmets, all 8 police officers are equipped with police strong flashlights on their bodies.

You must know that this kind of strong light flashlight for police use is quite different from the civilian version of strong light flashlight.

Moreover, the police glare flashlight is one of the important single police equipment, with an aggressive spine on the front end, which can play the role of attacking pain-causing uniforms.

In case of danger, you can quickly turn the police flashlight into a fighting tool.

The strobe function can also make criminals temporarily blind and dizzy in a short period of time, which plays a certain role in self-defense.

In addition, the shell is made of aviation aluminum, which is anodized and has functions such as waterproof, explosion-proof, shock-proof, and pressure-resistant.

So this is where the confidence of Gu Chen's team lies.

You have to have the right tools in your hand, so that you don't panic when you encounter danger.

Moreover, police flashlights are generally made of the highest quality materials in the world and are precisely processed.

Enhanced waterproof and shockproof design, the flashlight can still be used normally after being immersed in one meter of water for an hour, even after being dropped from a height of 3 meters.

Moreover, in the design of the switch, it also adopts the most advanced front-mounted light-touch digital control technology, which can make the flashlight cycle in low light, strong light, and flash, which is more than enough to deal with gangsters.

But the reason is the same, if the ferocious wild boar is rushing up from the opposite side, then everyone can also use the strong light flashlight as a weapon to counterattack the wild boar defensively.

The flashing modes of various strong lights can also temporarily blind and stun all creatures on the opposite side, so there is no reason for everyone to be afraid.

"Crack! Crack!"

Under the illumination of the light, Gu Chen used his mobile phone to take pictures of all the bloodstains here.

At this moment, Gu Chen continued to urge everyone to check the other houses.

However, after a circle, only the utility room where the blood stains appeared just now can accommodate everyone. As for the other houses, they are all sealed by door locks.

Although it is an old house, although it has long been unoccupied.

But it can be seen that the people who went up the mountain did not pick the lock to get in, which is commendable.

After all, these old houses have owners, so the folks in the village will also take care of them. If there is nothing wrong, they will never pry into other people's doors.

Even though there are wild animals infesting here, the inside of the house is intact, thanks to the locked doors.

"Report, no abnormalities were found." After inspecting all the houses, Officer Li came to Gu Chen's side and reported the specific situation to Gu Chen.

"Everyone, stop standing outside and come in to hide from the rain." Seeing that the heavy rain was still continuing, Gu Chen urged Yuan Shasha's team to enter the utility room to hide from the rain.

Lu Weiwei also yawned, and then said a little tiredly: "It seems that the people in Xujia Village are a bit wise. They know that people who go up the mountain will need a place to hide from the rain once they encounter heavy rain."

"And they closed the doors of all the old houses, but opened the utility room, which seems to be convenient for others."

"Maybe." Police officer Wang was not very clear, glanced at Zhao Meng beside him, and asked, "Zhao Meng, what do you think?"

"It should be. I used to spend a lot of rain here with my friends. The utility room here was opened a long time ago. It is said that the people of Xujia Village opened it deliberately. They were afraid that others would destroy the old house, so they would open it." Make a utility room for those who come here to shelter from the rain and wind."

"but……"

Halfway through speaking, Zhao Meng suddenly hesitated.

Seeing this, Gu Chen asked her curiously, "But what?"

"But my dad never let me come to the mountains, saying that the mountains are dangerous, but this used to be my favorite place to play with my friends when I was young."

"My dad didn't say anything before? But in the past six months, it seems that his attitude towards my going up the mountain has become stronger and stronger."

"Then what do you think is the reason?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"Well, maybe he thinks that Wangxian Valley is being developed, and outsiders may often come to the mountain for investigation."

"Moreover, many trails on the mountain are now overgrown with weeds, and there may be some more creatures like wild boars inside."

"After all, the natural environment here is quite well protected, so..."

"Understood." Hearing Zhao Meng's words, Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, feeling that Zhao Meng's intuition was reasonable.

Objectively speaking, Wangxian Valley is about to be developed, and there are only a few more complicated situations.

In this case, it is understandable that Zhao Meng's father asked Zhao Meng not to go up the mountain.

At this moment, Police Officer Wang came in from the outside, approached the crowd and said:

"Now we have searched the last village, and there will be no more villages after this. You said that Zhao Meng's father, her second uncle, He Xu and Zhang Fan, and... Fu Xin from Fujia Village , where did all these people go?"

"Where did the danger happen?" Gu Chen was also uncertain.

Lu Weiwei immediately glanced at Zhao Meng and asked, "Zhao Meng, do you know where the dangers in this mountain mainly occur?"

"I don't know." Zhao Meng also shook his head, and said helplessly:

"Because I have been studying in the city for a long time, I am very vague about the situation in my hometown."

"Combined with the recent developments, it seems that a lot of ecology has been destroyed. Even some roads up the mountain have been temporarily diverted due to construction needs."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Meng said again: "However, as far as I know, if you go up the mountain here, there is a cliff with a big drop, and there is a cave made of rocks nearby, and there is some mountain spring water in it. "

"Usually, this should be put in the past, which is what travel experts often call a camping place."

"And I heard from my dad that it will be developed into a tourist attraction in the future, but just a few months ago, I heard that there was a collapse on the mountain, that is, a landslide, and many trees were washed down the mountain together. , It’s scary, but where exactly? I don’t know, and I haven’t been there.”

"Could it be that those who lost contact have gone?" Officer Wang said.

Zhao Meng's head was still shaking like a rattle, and she said helplessly, "I really don't know, but if it's dangerous, that's the only place, right?"

"Because it is at the highest peak of the entire Wangxian Valley, a slight collapse of the mountain may cause a large area of ​​soil dislocation, and then the collapsed soil, sand, stones and trees on the mountain will slide all the way."

"If you're lucky, the village may be preserved, but if you're unlucky, the whole village may be covered by landslides. That's what my dad said before."

"Could it be that the blockage caused by the mudslide and the formation of the barrier lake are all due to the landslide above?" Lu Weiwei looked at the looming position of the mountain, and couldn't help feeling:

"We yelled a few times here, I don't know if someone will respond over there?"

"I think it's okay, you can use a whistle." Gu Chen also reminded.

Before going up the mountain, everyone wears a whistle.

This kind of whistle is also an important tool for communication between players.

Once someone got lost and couldn't determine the final location, the shouts from both sides didn't seem to have much effect.

But the sound of the whistle has a strong penetrating power, which is very suitable for various communication between team members.

Especially in this thunderstorm, the role of the whistle is indispensable.

"Try it." Officer Wang first took out his whistle and walked to the door.

At this moment, because the sky was still raining heavily, the entire mountain was shrouded in fog, and it was impossible to see the specific situation outside.

Even with a bright flashlight, it is difficult to penetrate these mist.

Officer Wang stood up straight, and suddenly took a deep breath, trying to adjust his breathing rhythm.

Then he took out his whistle and blew hard in the direction of the mountain.

As the whistle sounded suddenly, it seemed that everyone around Xujia Village could clearly hear it.

Officer Wang didn't stop, and continued to try to make the whistle sound longer.

When you get tired of blowing, just change to another person.

Back and forth, the five police officers cooperated with each other, and the whistle sounded continuously for 5 minutes.

"Okay." Seeing that everyone was exhausted and panting, Police Officer Wang hurriedly stopped and said, "Listen to what's happening on the other side of the mountain? Listen carefully, you guys, and report immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes." Several auxiliary policemen responded in unison.

Afterwards, Police Officer Wang came to the house again and sat on one side to rest.

The blowing of the whistle just now seemed to make him exhausted.

But I originally thought that there would be some responses from the top of the mountain.

After all, there are only 5 missing persons, so they should be nearby.

When the whistle sounded, it was tantamount to exposing the coordinates of his end. As long as the other party came towards this side, everyone would naturally meet up.

But now it doesn't.

Officer Wang said angrily: "You say these people are really strange. We have already sent out the signal on our own initiative and whistled for 5 minutes, but they didn't respond at all? What are they doing? Are they not going to respond?"

"Old Wang, please calm down first." Seeing Officer Wang complaining all the time, Lu Weiwei reminded Comrade Wang with her eyes that Zhao Meng was still here.

Officer Wang immediately glanced at Zhao Meng again. Seeing that Zhao Meng was in a low mood, Officer Wang grinned again, and quickly comforted him:

"Zhao Meng, it's fine. It's probably because the noise is too loud. Maybe your father and the others are really on the other side of the mountain? It's just that you didn't bring a spoon, and the shouting was covered by the thunderstorm and thunder, so..."

"I know." Zhao Meng nodded slightly, and said with a sob: "I know that the current situation is a bit complicated."

"But I always have an ominous premonition in my heart. I have a premonition that my dad and second uncle must have encountered some danger."

"They are all people who have lived in the mountains for many years. The survival ability of the mountains and forests is naturally stronger than that of ordinary donkey friends."

"But now, they left the town before the rain and have not heard from them until now. They must be in some danger."

Having said this, Zhao Meng sniffed again.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also hugged Zhao Meng by her side.

Words speak louder than words at this moment, and what Zhao Meng needs most is comfort.

Officer Wang was the most stupid, and didn't know what to say, so he could only ask outside the door: "Did you hear any movement from the top of the mountain?"

"Not yet, we will let you know as soon as there is any movement." Officer Li said.

"Okay, listen carefully." Officer Wang said a few words before lying down against the wall again.

At this time, everyone is already exhausted, and everyone is wet, but there is no clean environment for everyone to rest.

Sitting on the floor of the utility room, leaning against the wall, Officer Wang felt uncomfortable all over, and only wanted to squint for a short time to relieve the fatigue of climbing up.

Not to mention anything else, even ordinary people, climbing here under normal circumstances, are also exhausted.

What's more, everyone is still carrying all kinds of equipment, and at the risk of being washed away by the water, all the way here, the degree of exhaustion can be imagined.

Officer Wang gasped heavily, and slowly closed his eyes, wanting to take a short rest.

But at this moment, Gu Chen's ears trembled slightly, as if there was a movement in the distance.

Without thinking too much, Gu Chen stood up from a bundle of straw mats and quickly walked to the door.

"Did you hear that?" Gu Chen asked several police officers at the door.

"No? Is there?"

"I didn't hear it, did you hear it?"

"I didn't hear anything, nothing happened?"

...

Under Gu Chen's inquiry, everyone shook their heads, as if they didn't hear any response at all.

Of course, Gu Chen has master-level observation and perception abilities, which are stronger than ordinary people.

Just now Gu Chen was resting on the straw mat in the utility room, when he heard a strange movement coming from outside.

Therefore, Gu Chen didn't think too much, and continued to look straight ahead.

However, in the dark night at this time, I still couldn't see anything clearly, but Gu Chen didn't give up, but continued to listen quietly.

A burst of thunder sounded, disrupting the surrounding movement again.

Accompanied by the rolling thunder, Gu Chen adjusted his breathing rhythm and continued to look ahead, but this time, Gu Chen heard a sound similar to a whistle.

Ears trembled slightly, Gu Chen continued to listen, and murmured involuntarily: "Three shorts, three longs, three shorts? That's right, someone is responding to us, it's a call for help."

Standing up, Gu Chen immediately reminded Officer Li, "Xiao Li, continue to blow the whistle to respond."

"Yes." Although he didn't hear anything at all, but when Gu Chen said this, Officer Li didn't dare to neglect, and immediately blew his whistle to respond.

At this time, Gu Chen came to the interior of the utility room and reminded everyone: "I heard it, three short whistles, three long whistles, and three short whistles responded from the top of the mountain."

"Are you sure?" Officer Wang asked.

"It can't be wrong, I can hear it very clearly." Gu Chen was also firm.

On the other hand, Zhao Meng scratched the back of his head and asked in confusion, "Three shorts, three longs, and three shorts, what do you mean?"

"SOS." Gu Chen heard Zhao Meng's words, and immediately explained to her: "It means SOS, which is an international emergency signal."

"Actually, the signal for 'emergency distress' in radio communication is three shorts, three longs and three shorts. In Morse code, three shorts represent S and three longs represent O, so three shorts, three longs, and three shorts are Emergency signal SOS."
