The moment the ear-piercing alarm sounded, the search team members shuddered in unison.
On the row of screens in front of them, a red triangular prompt lit up.
Ye Qing also stood up.
"What mountain is that?"
Wang Chailong's eyes were like a radar, constantly scanning the small screen and the large electronic map screen beside it.
Five seconds later, he clenched his fists and shouted, "That's Hunchback Mountain. It's about thirty kilometers away from the core scenic area."
Ye Qing immediately gave the order to set off toward the mountain. At the same time, Ye Qing pulled up the detailed data of the drone that was searching Hunchback Mountain.
The drone was number 33. It had just detected a 1.71 volt electric field signal at the foot of the mountain.
1.71 volts. What did this number mean?
With such a strong electric field, even if workers built ten signal base stations on Hunchback Mountain, they wouldn't be able to connect the equipment that sent out the signal.
Even if a phone was turned off, the electric field generated would be stronger than this.
The Banshee aircraft only took five minutes to travel thirty kilometers.
The Banshee aircraft descended from the sky, breaking through the curtain of rain and hovering at the peak of the mountain.
Looking down through the porthole, the mountain looked like half a steamed bun. The entire mountain was covered with pine trees. The huge Banshee aircraft didn't even have a place to land.
The two pilots circled around the mountain peak, looking for a landing spot while also looking for the signal source.
There was no doubt that the owner of the signal source must be one of the nine university students.
However, the aircraft circled around, and there wasn't a single person below.
They also couldn't find a landing spot.
In the end, the brave pilot simply found a cliff and aimed the aircraft at the edge of the cliff. The front half of the aircraft was still floating outside the empty cliff.
The two thrusters provided strong support for the front half of the aircraft. As soon as the rear hatch opened, Wang Chailong, who was the first to rush out, suddenly stopped.
He covered his mouth with his right hand and forcibly suppressed the scream he was about to let out.
Scared the hell out of me!
There were two hollowed-out telescopic decks at the edge of the cliff. There was strong wind and heavy rain outside. When he looked down, there was a cliff hundreds of meters below …
While admiring the pilot of this aircraft, Wang Chailong bent his waist as low as possible and walked across the hollow deck like a stone crossing a river.
The rest of the team followed suit with their equipment. Ye Qing was the last to arrive.
However, Ye Qing was treated differently from them. Less than half a minute after the gigantic Banshee aircraft left, a Nighthawk aircraft landed.
Its small size allowed it to land on the edge of the cliff. The pilot even jumped down to open the door for Ye Qing.
The Nighthawk flew behind the search team members and followed them for more than ten minutes before finally stopping beside a huge rock.
In front of them, a black drone was hovering five meters above the boulder.
The few members of the search team kept rubbing their eyes. When they got closer, they realized that the drone did not have a propeller. Like an eagle, it kept flapping its wings in the rain.
If it wasn't for the fact that it didn't have a single feather on its body, and that there was a round electronic device that seemed to be plated with gold hanging under its abdomen, it would have been a complete mess.
Otherwise, the search team members would definitely think that they had found a new breed of eagle.
Ye Qing waved at that "eagle", the other party flapped its wings and quickly disappeared in front of the few people.
Ye Qing, who was wearing a raincoat, took out a silver-gray bag from behind him. "Put all your electronic devices into this bag."
"Wh … Why?"
"This is an electromagnetic shielding bag. I want to block out the noise from all your electronic devices. This way, I can use the device to accurately locate the source of the signal just now. "
The search team members quickly took out their bags. When the aircraft circled the mountain earlier, they all stuck their eyes to the porthole, but they did not find anything.
This was not a surprise.
If those university students could be seen from the sky by staying on the mountain, why didn't they walk out of this no man's land?
No matter which direction they walked, they would see people after walking for dozens of kilometers.
After isolating all the interference signals, Ye Qing took out an electromagnetic radiation detector that was the same model as the one hanging on the belly of the drone.
The instrument came with a Dabra radar map for positioning. The green dot was the position of the instrument, and the red dot was the signal source.
The instrument was turned on, and the red dot suddenly became active.
Three o 'clock.
Wang Chailong volunteered and pulled out a machete to open the way.
Ye Qing and the search team walked forward about 100 meters. The position of the red dot was shortened by one-third, and the strength of the signal source also increased by 0.5 volts.
The search team members yelled. They turned into "apes" and rampaged through this primitive mountain forest with machetes in their hands.
Fifteen minutes later.
The position of the green instrument coincided with the red signal source.
However ~
Several search team members who were wantonly squandering their physical strength looked at Ye Qing with confused eyes.
They stood in front of a relatively flat hillside. In front of them, there were a few tall pine and cypress trees and weeds that were half a person's height. Now that the weeds had been cleared out by them, it did not look like it could hide people.
Ye Qing turned off the instrument and pointed at his feet.
The instrument could not be wrong, and the signal source was very regular. It was not the electromagnetic clutter of nature.
Then there was only one possibility left!
These university students were in the rock.
This answer was very scary. Ye Qing could not guarantee whether they were dead or alive.
The search team members reacted quickly. After thinking of that possibility, they immediately threw away the machetes and took out climbing hammers and chisels from behind their waists. They squatted on the ground and smashed the rock under their feet.
Ye Qing shouted strangely, "What are you doing?"
"Digging the ground!"
Wang Chailong waved the climbing hammer. "If these students are really in the rock, then there are two possibilities."
"One is that they are buried, and the other is that they mistakenly entered a cave or karst cave and got trapped."
"I personally lean towards the second possibility because I did not find any signs of a landslide around here."
"Then you plan to smash it with your hands?"
"Let's smash it first." Wang Chailong gave a look that said, "What else?"
"Stop." Ye Qing waved his hand and took out the communicator from the electromagnetic shielding bag. He called the aircraft that was on standby in the air.
A few minutes later, the Nighthawk aircraft flew over. There was a large black box hanging from the belly of the aircraft.
The pilot asked two search team members to carry the box to Ye Qing's feet. The box opened, and there was a heavy metal device that was shaped like a jack inside.
Bang, bang, bang!
The pilot used a nail gun to nail the pin, which was as thick as a finger, into the rock together with the base of the device.
Ye Qing gestured for everyone to stand further away.
Boom!
There was a deafening explosion. The device seemed to have exploded, and even the rock under it was blown to pieces.
Of course, it did not explode. It only used a disposable launcher to slam a hammer into the rock.
Beep!
A wave-like pattern appeared on the tablet in Ye Qing's hand.
After the green pattern rippled on the screen, it was replaced by a structural diagram of the mountain under everyone's feet.
Different objects had different vibration frequencies.
By using the vibration waves to penetrate the mountain, the collected data could be processed into a structural diagram.
