Chapter 112 Command for “Search”

Deep in the forest “ghost signal”, initially I listened to the communication class comrades in the company said, originally said just want to scare Shirley Yang, unexpectedly suddenly found under the wreckage of the U.S. Army C-type transport aircraft, surprisingly clear and unusual signaling a section of the code for the code of death, but call it the legendary “ghost signal”, a little less appropriate, “ghost signal” refers to the weak mysterious radio waves received from the radio frequency, and now the command is “search”. “Ghost signals”, a bit inappropriate, “ghost signals” refers to the radio frequency received from the weak mysterious waves, and now this sound is obviously not a signal of the radio waves, but from the tree issued by the conventional material signals.

Pre-dawn primitive forest, like a shrouded in the dark shadow of the wings of death, without a trace of the wind and leaves rubbing sound, so quiet that even a pin drop on the ground, can be heard, I sat in the treetops to listen to a number of times, there is absolutely no mistake, over and over again, again and again.

Even the fat man under the tree also heard this group of “tick tock” strange signals, tilted his neck and kept looking up the tree, because I was in the middle of the canopy, so I heard that the source of the sound, not the canopy of the cabin at the top of the tree, but the two husband and wife of the old tree body and the transporter aluminum casing pieces of the place where they meet.

Because we do not understand the “ghost signal” this mysterious phenomenon, plus after all, the living for the things from another world, more or less there will be some fear of psychology, a moment did not dare to act rashly, just open the “wolf’s eye” flashlight, to irradiate the noise The place of the sound, but the “Wolf Eyes” flashlight column of light by the dense plants, blocking the shadows, the more you see the more oozing, and even some of the strange shape of the old tree bark, in the dark looks like a hideous corpse monster.

I asked Shirley Yang quietly: “Is it possible that some American pilots fell into the hole in the tree? The distress call sent by the dying man is still echoing around the tree.”

Shirley Yang shook her head and said, “No, just now when I entered the cabin wreckage and searched, I carefully looked at every place, not only were there no bones of the crew members, there was also no parachute bag, that’s why I judged that they all jumped out of the plane before the crash, and the nose of the plane crashed into the mountain, it was already completely destroyed, and then this section of the cabin fell down into the tree canopy, and how could the sound of the signal come out from the tree trunk? How could it come out from the tree trunk?”

I said to Shirley Yang, “Just now, before you shot that great eagle owl, that string of signals meant SOS, and just now it stopped for a break, and suddenly became DEAD, is there any connection between them? In addition to the U.S. Air Force who drove this C-type transport plane, who knows Morse communication code in this deep mountainous area?”

Shirley Yang did not have the experience of encountering ghosts, but she was not completely materialistic, she had more than once told me that people would go to heaven after death, and that was the end of the journey of life, so from this point of view, Shirley Yang believed in the existence of souls. SOS distress code, may be I heard wrong, it should be that the eagle owl in the cabin pecking and biting tree lizards issued, so it seems to be messy and incoherent, and now this signal sound you also heard, completely different from that, the length of the length of the very regular, and repeated so many times, there is no error ……”

I heard it with my own ears, from the middle of the tree trunk not far away, and listened to it so truly, I also have to believe that the “ghost signal” legend of the authenticity, I said to Shirley Yang: “This signal sound is very regular, but not like the kind of mechanical sound that can transmit signals, some of which is like the sound of water droplets. , but it is much duller than that, maybe it is really guessed by us, there are dead people inside the trunk ……”

Shirley Yang said: “Some scientists have done experiments, the human soul should produce less than 7% of the electric wave V, even such a weak energy, it is possible to be in a specific environment or magnetic field for a long time to save, but now the most important thing is that, this code of death in the end is to convey what kind of intention, is it to give us a warning? Or is it a threat?”

To my experience judgment, encounter such a situation, if you only want to choose to escape, never a good choice, and ultimately suspicious, will cause the situation of the grass and trees, so that their own mentality are disturbed, that in turn the most prone to accidents, this time only to find out the root cause of it boldly, make it a water fall out of the water, to make their own peace of mind, and in addition, this day is about to brighten up, the darkness of the night will soon be over! In addition, the day is about to dawn, the night is about to pass, once the sky is bright, there will be nothing to be afraid of.

So I support the branch of the tree stood up, to Shirley Yang said: “We guess is useless, may as well go over to explore, in the end is not what the dead souls do, see to understand and then pay attention to.”

Shirley Yang nodded her head in agreement, and handed me a new magazine for her Chicago Typewriter, which was too heavy for her to use, and we both adjusted the focus of the spotlight on the mountaineering helmet, and checked the safety cord to see if it was secure.

I pulled down the magazine of the sub-machine gun, look at the bullets inside the pressure full, then the clip in the helmet “Dang” knocked twice, this kind of gun malfunction rate is notoriously high, it is necessary to put the bullets in the clip in the compaction, so as not to avoid the critical moment bullet jamming, and then inserted into the body of the gun, pulling the bolt to the bullets loaded on Shirley Yang a wave of the hand. Yang waved his hand, two people divided into left and right directions, climbed the branches of the old tree, looking for the source of the “ghost signal” sound, came to the place where the wreckage of the transporter meets the tree canopy.

Due to the surrounding too quiet, the closer the distance, the “ticking” sound is more clear, the more you listen to the more you think it is not like an electronic sound, in the cabin next to the wreckage, after a careful search, and finally climbing helmet on the spotlight column, gathered in a tree trunk.

In order to prevent unexpected changes, Shirley Yang in a slightly forward place, I was half a meter behind her in charge of cover, Shirley Yang borrowed the light of the spotlight, carefully surveyed the section of the tree trunks that emitted the sound of the signal, and turned back to me with a gesture, it can be determined, the sound is from here, the drip drip drip drip drip drip is unusual.

I aimed the Thompson at the target, so as not to be hurt by any more eagle owls or the like, and if anything went wrong, I would not hesitate to pull the trigger, the Chicago Typewriter’s 11.4mm caliber was not for the faint of heart, and with its torrential fire, it would smash any jungle beast to pieces.

Shirley Yang saw me ready, so took out the Russian-made Kintetsu “paratrooper knife” in the hand, aimed at the section of the trunk covered with plants, slowly cut down the thick mossy vines layer by layer with the “paratrooper knife” cut off, did not cut! A few times, but found that there is a natural tree hole, this tree hole is only two fists together so big, over the years, so that the hole has been completely sealed by the parasitic plants in the tree, if not pierce the layer of natural camouflage, it looks with the rest of the trunk is not different, are full of pimple bumps uneven green moss.

Those parasitic plants are very dense and thick, and layers of superposition, some have rotted very seriously, with a knife peeled into a rotten as green slime in general, a time is also difficult to completely clear clean, Shirley Yang carefully “paratrooper knife” tip into the deepest part of the green moss, from the tip of the touch, like touching a piece of hard objects. From the tip of the knife, it felt as if it had touched a hard object.

Shirley Yang and I looked at each other, are full of questions, did not think beforehand here will be such a small hole in the tree, even if there is a hole in the tree, can let people or animals and so on inside the sound, should not be only so small, this kind of small holes in this old married banyan tree, I do not know how many, this kind of hole in the tree is enough to get in and out of the small squirrels, but this kind of forest is not possible to have squirrels, so can be completely ruled out is squirrels in the inside. Completely ruled out is a squirrel in the inside of the toss, than the pine tree and then slightly smaller than the tree lizard is a very quiet animal, also by no means can be a tree lizard.

And just look at the tree green moss and other parasitic plant thickness, as well as the degree of decay to judge, are not within a short period of time can be formed, want to wait for another detailed look, behind the trunk of the tree a shake, it turned out that the fat man for the second time climbed up, this time he no longer use my reminder, directly first to the safety pin hanging on the body.

I just want to ask how he is not under the tree for us to guard, but climbed up to do what, but see his face panic, the world can let the fat man afraid of things are not many, only to hear the fat man trembling fearfully said to me: “Old Hu, I fucking …… this forest eighty percent is haunted ah, I have to with you guys, just fucking scared me. Just now fucking scared me to death.”

I saw his appearance is not like a joke, in the case of no money involved, unless it is a direct threat to the life of things will make him nervous, I busy asked the fat man exactly what is wrong, is not to see something?

The fat man fixed his mind and said: “Just now I was under the tree, raised his head to see you two in the tree climbing around, just this day is too dark, see half a day, only see the spotlight on your helmet, hazy also see not clear, I look tired, I intend to smoke a cigarette to relieve the tedium, and then suddenly listen to the surrounding a woman crying, crying that miserable, can damn scared to death of this old master, cigarettes are holding the opposite, almost put his tongue hot, and the woman is crying, and the woman is crying, and she is not happy, but she is not happy. I almost burned my tongue, there is definitely a female ghost, you listen to you listen to …… again.”

Shirley Yang is using the “paratrooper knife” a piece to pick off the rotting plants in the tree hole, just get almost, have not yet had time to see what that hard thing is, and at this moment heard the fat man said that there is a female ghost crying in the vicinity, but also put the hands of the work stopped, and I together with the ears to listen to the surrounding movements.

We have been only noticed that “ghost signal”, this time quiet down a listen, around there really is a burst of whimpering sound, “Shading Dragon Mountain” behind the wind, so it can not be the sound of the wind, the sound of the miserable abnormal, and fluctuating, darkness In the dark environment, it is even more hairy.

I and fat man, Shirley Yang immediately in the canopy lined up in a zigzag pattern, I carry a Thompson submachine gun, fat man with a “Jianwei” steam rifle, Shirley Yang is holding a six-four pistol, so that the angle of defense of each person shortened to one hundred and twenty degrees, each other to form a defense dependence.

That miserable cry around us in two circles, suddenly divided into three, from mid-air towards us quickly cover to, I heard this time clearly, not female ghosts, is the night owls in the crowing howl, the original is the damned eagle owls of the same kind, but this time is not one or two, listen to this screaming individual is not small, it must be looking for us to take revenge, although we have a gun in our hands with ammunition, but darkness to deal with the ghosts of the night sky, is really a bit of a disadvantage. It’s really a bit of a disadvantage.

At this moment Shirley Yang can not care about saving flare, from the portable bag out of the flare gun, “tom-tom” a sound, flare from the top of the tree rose up, miserable white light hanging in the forest, a long time does not dissipate, all around the light as snow in general.

We were also shaken by the intense white light of the flare headache, is enduring the blinding white light ready to search for a target to shoot, but heard the forest suddenly became dead silent, in addition to our heartbeat and breathing, all the sounds have disappeared.

Suddenly attacked a few eagle owls, was shocked by the light of the flare, disappeared into the distant darkness, disappeared without a trace, and that group of scalp numbing “ghost signals”, also disappeared, and no longer hear half a bit of movement, and even in the morning there should be a variety of birds chirping are not, all the animals as if they were all dead.

I have not yet had time to be surprised, almost at the same time these sounds disappeared, the sky cloud peaks looming, a line of sunrise broke through the clouds, the first ray of morning light into this strange jungle.

It seemed that at the moment of dawn, all the spirits and demons in the jungle between the valleys also fled to their lairs to hide from the sunlight.

We remembered the hole in the tree, we all turned back to look, only to see that the C-type transporter under the trunk, there is a green hole, deep in the depths of a piece of crimson smooth stone, the outside of the mossy plants have been Shirley Yang with a knife to scrape open, is in the morning sunshine emitting a faint light.

I have not yet waited to see what is going on, suddenly under the feet of the tree slightly “click, click, click, click,” broke down, the original of this horizontal thick banyan branches, bear most of the weight of the C-type transporter cabin, due to our earlier in order to prepare to meet the incoming eagle owls, emergency in the together, the weight is too centralized, which is in the tree activities of the big taboo! At this time, coupled with the weight of the three of us, especially the fat man’s, the old banyan tree has been extremely nutrient-poor, the tree body can not eat the strength, can no longer support the top of the tree, more than half of the trunk, split in half, the old body of the tree completely broken open.

Fortunately our safety rope are fixed in the trunk of the old banyan tree, although ate in the tree body a collision, Suo fortunately did not fall directly to the ground, today this insurance rope has been so saved us no less than three times, the head of the C-type transport aircraft, due to the loss of the main branches of the load-bearing, then directly slid down to more than 20 meters high under the tree, issued a huge and tragic sound.

We raised our heads and could see the inside of the old tree’s cracked body, this look all couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, after a long time the fat man said: “What is this thing? Seems quite valuable …… I think this time …… we can really …… really fucking hair.”

At this time that familiar and unfamiliar signal sound, suddenly once again from the split tree body came out ……
