"Huh?"
Lu Xin looked at Gecko with some confusion, not quite understanding what this meant.
Gecko, on the other hand, lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, and whispered, "Brother, we Qinggang City are quite powerful now. We have almost explored all the major forces and abandoned cities around us. Even if we have not completed the exploration, we still have some understanding."
"But apart from these places, there are also some very mysterious places that we still know nothing about."
He looked at Lu Xin and said, "A place like this is called Mysterious Forbidden Zone!"
"Restricted area?"
Lu Xin frowned slightly and said, "Has no one explored it?"
"Explored, and explored many times!"
Gecko frowned and whispered, "But whether it is Pioneer Team or the researchers and armed personnel sent out by the city, once they enter the restricted area, they either go crazy or disappear. Countless people have sacrificed, but they have not brought back any useful information..."
"If the only useful information they bring back from their exploration is this: this place cannot be explored!"
"Because we don't know anything about it, these places are called Mysterious Forbidden Zone!"
"..."
Having said this, Gecko tapped the map lightly and emphasized his tone.
"This place you are talking about is one of them, and it is also the most dangerous one."
"I heard from people that this place once swallowed up a fully armed group of hundreds of Pioneer Team. There were generous investors behind those people, who equipped them with the most advanced instruments and the most powerful firepower. There was also an information team that relayed news to the outside world in a timely manner. However, after they entered, they also suddenly lost all contact. Since then, no one has seen them again..."
"..."
Lu Xin listened quietly to Gecko's words and looked in the rearview mirror.
Mom also listened to Gecko's words with great interest and noticed the look Lu Xin cast towards her, and she smiled.
"What a great place to travel..."
While talking, he touched his sister's little head. "Are you right?"
"Yeah!"
The younger sister nodded vigorously, her eyes a little excited.
Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and then said to Gecko, "Then let's go!"
Gecko looked at Lu Xin with wide eyes, thinking that he heard wrongly.
Lu Xin explained seriously, "Whether it's a restricted area or not, people still have to be captured."
"Reporting the latest course of action. After investigation, it was learned that Qin Ran, the main culprit of the Qinggang Satellite City No. 2 8.18 incident, is most likely hiding in Happy Town. A member of the Qinggang special operation team proposed that Action Team enter Happy Town to continue the investigation..."
"... Yes, as Deputy Captain, I have expressed different opinions and even severely criticized him!"
"It's useless, he is the captain, and he insists..."
"Hey, what do you mean, be careful? Shouldn't you continue to persuade us?"
"Oh, oh, okay."
"..."
Seeing Lu Xin calmly said that he was going to Happy Town and brought Qin Ran back, Gecko was all hairy.
He didn't dare to refuse, or even show that he wanted to refuse.
But when he finally arrived at an open area, he set up a signal receiver with full expectation on the pretext of reporting the work progress to the headquarters, and then dialed the satellite phone at the headquarters. Lu Xin didn't pay much attention to the specific conversation. He just heard a few intermittent words in which his voice suddenly became louder, and then he saw Gecko tinkering with some electronic instruments.
In the wilderness, even communication was very troublesome. Lu Xin couldn't help but miss the life in the city.
After a while, Gecko finally came back with lowered eyebrows and droopy eyes, and his steps were a little weak.
"What did they say?"
Lu Xin also asked Gecko with some concern.
Gecko feebly handed over a tablet with an iron frame and said in a desperate voice:
"They sent the information directly..."
"He also said that it would be good to explore these mysterious areas by the way. Bringing the records back could also be a mission..."
"..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin Hearing this, I was a little surprised.
Then he took the tablet with a smile and said to Gecko, "Then hurry up and hurry up. I'll watch it in the car."
Gecko really didn't want to drive because he didn't want to go to that unknown and scary place.
But he didn't dare not to drive, because he felt that he still had little say in this crowded car...
While sitting in the car, Lu Xin also slowly looked through the information on the tablet.
There is very little information, and I don't know whether it's because we are in the wilderness and it's difficult to transmit information, or because there is very little information.
The first document is just a simple photo of a page with some information written on it:
S-class Mysterious Forbidden Zone——Happy Town
Location: End of Highway 85
Introduction: This area is an extremely dangerous area, covering an area of approximately 50 square kilometers. Close to this area, a strong spiritual force field can be detected. Close to the edge of the mental force field, various reactions such as dizziness, irritability, coma, auditory hallucinations, and spasms of hands and feet will occur. If you penetrate 50 meters into the mental force field, you will be unable to return and disappear from the sight of all witnesses.
If electronic instruments are close to the spiritual force field, circuit system failures and signal disturbances will occur.
Cause: unknown
Pollution level: unknown
Valid exploration records: None
"There is such information, it looks so unprofessional..."
Lu Xin couldn't help but shook his head, scrolled to the second page, and found a photo on it.
The photo was taken from an abandoned road, in what appears to be an extremely empty area.
The weather was gloomy, like fog, and everything didn't look clear.
But as if to prove that this was not a problem with the lens, a small fish tank was specially placed in the lower left corner of the photo. There was an electronic time display on the fish tank, which was taken two years ago. The photo of the fish tank is very clear, and the algae and small red goldfish inside can be clearly seen, but if you go deeper, you can only see ripples like air distortion.
There is no specific content at all.
After scrolling to the third page, I saw a photo of a person. The person was wearing a light blue one-piece overalls. He looked like a worker in a chemical plant. He was about twenty years old, with a happy smile on his face and dull eyes looking at the camera.
There is a text caption under the photo: Happy Town resident.
Turning another page, there are handwritten notes taken, which seem to record some legends about Happy Town.
The exact time when the town appeared is unknown. The anomaly was first discovered ten years ago.
The town is isolated from the world and has few interactions with people.
But occasionally, small town residents would go out and exchange food for salt, cloth, hoes and other supplies with outsiders.
Because the residents of Happy Town always have an unchanging smile on their faces, they are called "Happy Town"!
Finally, there is a paragraph highlighted in red:
For the research of Happy Town, every time it will bring immeasurable losses.
All researchers who entered the spiritual energy field of Happy Town survived.
Electronic exploration devices such as drones and mechanical dogs all lose all signals immediately after entering the spiritual energy field.
Someone once detained Happy Town residents when they went out to exchange for salt and interrogated them.
Interrogation result: Happy Town residents are unable to answer complex questions.
That night, Happy Town residents, interrogators, and research reports disappeared at the same time, leaving no trace...
