Yin trace

Chen Ziyun frowned.He had never heard of these things.Driven by curiosity, Chen Ziyun picked up this volume of ancient books and looked through them carefully.

"In the spring of the 11th year of Chongzhen, when I traveled to Yunnan, I heard that in the far west, north of Kunlun, there is a mountain without Zhou..."

This is a memoir of travel.Chen Ziyun was no stranger to the name Xu Hongzu.This person is Xu Xiake, a famous traveler in the late Ming Dynasty.

The memoir was opened on the first day of February in the 14th year of Chongzhen, and finally on February 27th.It took nearly a month.

From the content point of view, the style of writing is indeed Xu Xiake's writing style. From the point of view of writing, it is also believed, because the handwriting of the writing content is getting weaker and weaker, which means that when the author wrote this article, his body was already exhausted. Weakened very badly.

The content of the entire book seems incomplete.Xu Hongzu didn't elaborate on the key part, as if he was trying to hide something.

In addition to written records, there are many illustrations. On the last page, Chen Ziyun also saw a hand-drawn map.Although the map is not accurate, Chen Ziyun can recognize the approximate route that Xu Hongzu walked back then at a glance.The respect for this great traveler of the Ming Dynasty grew a little more in my heart.

But after reading the entire book, Chen Ziyun was in a fog.

If the book hadn't been written by Xu Xiake, he would have believed it to be a weird novel with notebooks.Because the contents of the scrolls may only be imagined by the novelist's unconstrained thoughts that day.

"Shouldn't this be written under the guise of a name?" Chen Ziyun still had doubts.

"No." Wen Qing waited patiently for Chen Ziyun to finish reading the entire book, and then replied: "Actually, a long time ago, we walked along the route recorded in the book once, but we finally arrived at At the destination, some accidents happened, which eventually led to the failure of the mission. But everything found along the way has verified the accuracy of the contents recorded in this book." Wen Qing added: "The left arm of Chief Shen Sha, It was lost during that expedition."

Chen Ziyun remembered what Shen Sha mentioned just now, that he lost an arm on the plateau.

"Oh?" Chen Ziyun wanted to know what happened back then.And why did Wen Qing show him the scroll.

Wen Qing looked a little serious, and said: "That happened decades ago. If you are interested, you can find Director Shen when you have time to find out what happened to him."

Chen Ziyun nodded slightly.If you want to hear a story, you can naturally get more truth from the mouth of the person who experienced it.

"The reason why I'm looking for you this time is actually because the bureau decided to start the plan again. And you are my recommended consultant." Wen Qing explained the doubts in Chen Ziyun's mind.

"Consultant?" Chen Ziyun asked in confusion.

"That's right. The reason why the last mission failed was because we lacked the corresponding talents and artifacts. But now, with the unearthed statue of the mysterious bird and the joining of a group of elites, I believe that this time, we will definitely go much smoother."

Wen Qing's tone seemed so calm and confident.Under her explanation, Chen Ziyun quickly understood the truth of the matter.It's just that Chen Ziyun didn't imagine that this matter would involve him so deeply.

This matter has to start with the establishment of the 042 agency.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 042 agency already existed.At that time, the seniors of 042 called themselves Dragon Guardians.Most of the Dragon Guardians are knowledgeable and talented, or they are strange people. Although there are not many in number, their potential influence is huge.They take it as their duty to protect the volume written by Xu Hongzu.Of course, he also actively explored the places described in the scrolls.But apart from them, try to prevent others from approaching.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Dragon Guardian Organization was incorporated and named the 042 Organization.From then on, Xu Hongzu's notes fell into the hands of the organization.The organization is also very interested in the records in the handbook, so it has organized several expeditions.But without exception, every expedition is at the cost of annihilating the entire army.Only in that time represented by Chen Sha, one person survived by luck, and that was Chen Sha himself.But he also paid the price of an arm.

Also because of Shensha's survival, the senior management of the 042 organization knew how dangerous the destination was and how inadequate their preparations were, so the exploration of the area was forced to be delayed, and this delay was more than half an hour. century.

The reason for the sudden restart of this expedition plan has to be related to the recent tomb robbery incidents in Zhouyuan.

Judging from the mysterious bird statue unearthed later, the tomb robbers obviously knew that there was a mysterious bird statue hidden in one of the tombs.According to relevant records, the Xuanniao statue is a must to enter the ultimate place in Xu Hongzu's records.

It is conceivable that behind these tomb robbers, there must be someone who knows this secret, and knows more information than 042 has.Their purpose is naturally similar to that conspired by the 042 organization.

But after the accidental death of these tomb robbers, the 042 agency discovered that the strength of the other party may have surpassed 042 by a lot.The other party has at least mastered a relatively comprehensive gene cloning technology in order to create a human modeled on four people.

This kind of technology can no longer be described by a certain force.This is already a technical standard that can only be achieved by the strength of the country.Even the countries with the most developed gene technology have never released it, and they have mastered the biological cloning technology to such a point.

Thinking from a deeper level, since this mysterious force is not afraid of leaking even the most cutting-edge gene cloning technology, and used such a genetic person, it can only be explained that for them, this mysterious bird statue is determined to win.It's a price they can afford.

It's just that the decision-making class of the 042 agency is puzzled.If this mysterious force is really determined to win the Xuanniao statue, they don't need to use the gene man.There are quite a few tomb robbers active in the Zhouyuan area, and countless experienced native masters are willing to serve them as long as they pay a corresponding price.It is not very strenuous to quietly steal the funerary objects in several ancient tombs.

But for this unsolvable puzzle, the decision makers couldn't discuss a result, so they had no choice but to let it go.But hastily put the plan that had been dusty for more than 60 years back on the agenda.The purpose is to completely take out what 042 is determined to obtain before this force gets involved in the ultimate place.

But it's not easy to build a team that can do it, it requires a variety of talents.Chen Ziyun is also one of the candidates.

This is not because of Chen Ziyun's profound knowledge, but because he is younger than those more experienced experts and scholars, and is more able to adapt to the desperate situation that this trip will reach.

In addition, there is another important reason, that is, Chen Ziyun's grandfather was a member of the Dragon Guardian, the predecessor of the 042 organization.Chen Ziyun's grandfather once told him that once this task is started in the future, only his direct descendants can participate in it.
