Trickster Hunter

Chapter 306 Radio

"Team leader, don't you think you are setting a flag for yourself?" Yin Xiang said with a dark look on his face.

"If you believe it, you have it. If you don't believe it, you don't have it." Ding Chao said casually.

"Okay, okay..." Yin Xiang nodded, "Then what should we do now? Go in directly?"

"Check the periphery of the factory first." Ding Chao said, "Group of three, work separately, but you must ensure that you are always within the sight of the other two groups and the sight of the drone in the sky. Come back here in fifteen minutes gather."

Ding Chao picked two operators, and then said to Yin Xiang: "You come and take Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu, and you go check the cargo loading and unloading area over there."

"Understood." Yin Xiang nodded, waved to Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu, and trotted towards the loading and unloading area where two large semi-trailer trucks were parked.

Before Yin Xiang could reach the semi-trailer, a disgusting smell wafted into his nose - the closer to the loading and unloading area, the stronger the smell became.

"Tsk...what does this smell like?" Yin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He quickly buckled the gas mask hanging around his waist, and then glanced at the multi-function watch on his wrist.

In addition to the commonly used functions, the multifunctional watches issued to these field operators can also automatically detect the air quality in the environment. If the oxygen content is too low or the toxic components in the air exceed the dangerous threshold, the wearer will be alerted. Sound an alert.

Yin Xiang adjusted the power of the air filter valve to the maximum, but even so, the red warning light still did not light up.

The watch is broken? Or...the smell is just unpleasant and actually harmless to the human body?

"Team leader, there is a strange smell in the loading and unloading area. It smells very bad." Yin Xiang pressed the call button and said in the group communication channel, "It's hard to describe what kind of smell it is... It's like It's the smell of rancid rotten eggs that have been marinated in swill for several days, and then mixed with the smell of an old dry toilet that has been in disrepair and has not been flushed... I just took a small sip and felt like I had eaten overnight. I'm going to spit it out..."

"That's not a strange smell." Ding Chao's tone was very calm, "That's the smell caused by the deterioration and volatilization of FL09 reagent in a non-low temperature environment. It is harmless to the human body. The reagents stacked in the loading and unloading area should have deteriorated. , it’s normal for you to smell like this.”

"...Team leader, did you do this on purpose? Send me to the loading and unloading area for inspection?" Yin Xiang's face suddenly darkened, "I now... feel like my stomach is churning... I'm a little worried about whether I will vomit in the anti-virus Inside the mask.”

"I have only heard researchers describe the smell of FL09 reagent that deteriorates and evaporates, but I have never smelled it directly. I didn't know the irritation could be so strong. I'm sorry, please hold on a little longer." Ding Chao said.

"Forget it, seeing as you... ugh... your apology is still sincere... ugh... Damn, I can't... talk any more... otherwise I will... vomit... out... I... I First...slowly..."

Yin Xiang pressed his chest with one hand and patted Ling Xiao with the other hand, indicating that he would lead the team for the time being.

Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but walked to the front silently and took a look inside the open truck container.

"There is something inside." Ling Xiao said.

"What?!" Yin Xiang was suddenly startled. He instantly took off the assault rifle in his hand and pointed the muzzle at the container.

"Some foam insulated boxes and sturdy plastic brackets." Ling Xiao added.

"... Phew." Yin Xiang took a long breath and put down the gun with some dejection, "I thought... there was something abnormal. Little brother, please try another way next time... What you said can really make people... Scared to death..."

"Oh." Ling Xiao nodded, "I'll go to the cab and have a look."

Ling Xiao took three steps at a time, jumped up on the ladder frame, and opened the door on the side of the cab near the driver's seat.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Yin Xiang, who was standing next to the truck, raised his head and asked, "I mean - did you find anything abnormal? For example, blood stains, stumps, traces of a fight, etc... …If there is no abnormality, there is no need to report it.”

"There is a radio." Ling Xiao said.

"Isn't a radio a normal thing?" Yin Xiang muttered. "It's a common thing for drivers to listen to radio stations when they are bored while driving... Probably the radio that comes with this truck is broken, so the driver bought it himself. I put a radio in the cab."

"This radio is on." Ling Xiao said again.

"This car hasn't been locked yet...Everyone in the entire park disappeared very suddenly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have smelled this disgusting smell." Halfway through, Yin Xiang's expression suddenly changed. A change to, "Wait, the radio is on? What's playing on the radio right now?"

In order to achieve the purpose of information control, most of the radio stations in Shuzhou have stopped broadcasting. Only a few stations used by the government to issue various important notices and announcements are still in operation. In addition to the notifications being repeated thousands of times a day, there is no need to listen to any music, cross talk or emotional programs. Logically speaking, no matter how boring the driver is, he will not listen to the notifications that are repeated every day, right?

As drivers of "Tianfu Special Medicine", they have more accurate, detailed and faster channels to obtain these notifications. They don't need to listen to the radio at all - after all, the things on the radio are for ordinary people to listen to, and the content is naturally not There will be some degree of "modification".

"Is there something playing on the radio?" Yin Xiang asked cautiously.

"There's no sound." Ling Xiao immediately replied, "There's not even any noise from the current."

"There's not even any current noise... Then how do you know the radio is on?" Yin Xiang was a little confused.

"The power indicator light is on." Ling Xiao said.

"Maybe the volume has been turned down to the minimum... Take the radio down and let me take a look." Yin Xiang said.

"good."

Ling Xiao quickly jumped off the ladder, holding a palm-sized silver-white radio in his hand.

Yin Xiang took the radio. It was a "Diamond" brand radio. It was a very old brand. Yin Xiang remembered that at his grandma's house in the countryside, there was an old-fashioned Diamond radio on the table in the living room. radio.

That thing, which was about the size of a brick, was almost the same age as Yin Xiang's grandma... Yin Xiang thought that this brand had disappeared, but he didn't expect that it was still alive.

This is a portable radio with a built-in antenna, type-C charging port, and can even be connected to Bluetooth headsets... It is a new model produced in recent years.

"There's really no sound..." Yin Xiang fiddled with it. He noticed that the volume was normal, there was no Bluetooth headset connected, and the radio was in operation... It was just the "Listen" displayed on the fingernail-sized LCD screen. The frequency band keeps changing, and several numbers jump back and forth. At first glance, it looks like gibberish.

"Is this radio broken?" Yin Xiang subconsciously patted the back of the radio with his hand.

The randomly jumping frequency band suddenly stopped, and the number displayed on the screen changed to 555.5MHz - this stunned Yin Xiang. He remembered that the frequency modulation range of radio stations in most areas of the Xiazhou Federation was between 87-108MHz. This jump What's going on when a 555 comes out?

Can the new radio still escape the originally set frequency framework? So powerful?

So if this thing is slightly modified, can it also be used to eavesdrop on military radio stations?

Just when Yin Xiang was thinking wildly, a low cry suddenly came from the radio.

"Fuck you!"

Yin Xiang was shocked and the radio fell out of his hand. Thanks to Ling Xiao's quick eyes and quick hands, he caught the fallen radio and saved it from being shattered into pieces.

"Team leader! Team leader, come here quickly! I've discovered something here!" Yin Xiang ignored his pounding heart and quickly pressed the call button and shouted loudly.

Half a minute later, Ding Chao hurried to the loading and unloading area with several field operators.

"Is this the radio you were talking about?" Ding Chao took the radio and checked it again, "You mean, if you tap it, crying will come from it?"

"Yes!" Yin Xiang nodded vigorously, "That kind of crying is quite scary... The goosebumps on my neck and back haven't gone away yet."

"Can you tell whether it's a man's cry or a woman's cry, an adult's or a baby's?" Ding Chao asked again.

"Can't tell the difference."

At this time, the radio had returned to its original frequency band hopping state. Ding Chao glanced at Yin Xiang suspiciously, and then patted the back of the radio as usual.

The number on the screen was fixed again, but this time it was fixed at 222.2MHz.

"Hehehehehe...hahahahahahaha...hehehehehehe..." A burst of strange laughter came from the radio and floated into everyone's ears.

"Oh my god, this time the cry turned into laughter." Yin Xiang suddenly said a curse word, "This fucking laughter is scarier than crying."

"Bring the testing equipment." Ding Chao took out a specimen bag and carefully put the radio in. "Test to see if this radio is a weird thing."

The test process only took less than two minutes, and they got the answer - the radio itself was not a strange thing, but the magnetic field in the factory park seemed to be distorted by some unknown force, which caused the FM function of the radio to appear. "Questions" to get those weird laughs and cries.

"This must have something to do with the strange thing." Yin Xiang said categorically, "Even if the magnetic field is abnormal, it is impossible to transform the current noise into crying and laughter! You all heard it just now! That is definitely laughter! And there were several different kinds of laughter!”

Several field operators who followed over couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines, and nodded subconsciously.

"Report to the command center immediately!" Ding Chao nodded. After speaking, he seemed to have remembered something. He picked up another communicator and said: "Battle Commander Geng, I am Ding Chao. You should have brought a big communicator with you." Powerful military radio?"

"Okay, then please adjust the frequency of the radio station to 222.2MHz and 555.5MHz." Ding Chao said again.

Immediately afterwards, there was a silence that lasted for several minutes.

"Team Leader Ding, what's going on with that weird laughter and crying? I need your explanation." Battalion Commander Geng's voice came from the communicator. Yin Xiang, who was standing next to Ding Chao, could tell that Camp Commander Geng's breathing was a little messy and he spoke very quickly, as if to hide some emotion - obviously he, like himself, was also disturbed by those weird sounds. Scared.

"We don't know the source and meaning of these sounds." Ding Chao replied, "My people found a malfunctioning radio in the truck in the loading and unloading area. When we slap the radio, the radio will automatically lock a The frequency bands...you guessed it correctly, are 222.2MHz and 555.5MHz...According to our judgment, the strange thing that attacked Factory 105 probably changed the magnetic field in this area, which caused the radio to appear abnormal."

"Team leader, I have an idea." Yin Xiang said suddenly.

"You said it." Ding Chao nodded to him.

"Look, these two frequency bands, one is 222.2 and the other is 555.5... Have you found any similarities between the two?"

"Are they all made up of the same number?"

"Yes... in that case, let them use military radios to try frequency bands such as 111.1 and 333.3 to see if they can hear something different." Yin Xiang said.

"Okay, I'll let them try it now, because I have to ask them to record all these audio files and send them back to the command center to see if the command center can analyze them..."

However, a few minutes later, bad news came back from Battalion Commander Geng.

They tried several other special frequency bands using military radios, and they could indeed hear some unusual sounds - for example, 111.1 could hear a murmur whose specific content was difficult to identify; 333.3 was an intermittent gasping sound; 444.4 was something strange. The friction sound... But when the soldiers recorded these sounds and sent them back to the command center, they found that the audio files, without exception, were all damaged during the transmission.

"All damaged... Is it not just the magnetic field that is affected here?" Ding Chao looked thoughtful, "Battle Commander Geng, why don't you try to directly play the strange sound heard on the military radio when communicating with the command center? Let’s see if the command center can record it.”

"Do you think I didn't think of this?" Battalion Commander Geng said angrily, "I tried this method when the recording file failed to be transferred for the second time. It didn't work. It was all fucking noise... Command The center could barely hear my voice, but they couldn’t hear any of the crying, laughing and murmuring sounds coming from the radio!”

"...Speaking of which, if the audio files you recorded are played back directly using the recording equipment, is everything normal?" Ding Chao asked.

"It's normal."

"Then don't use network transmission, just take the recorded equipment back with a drone." Ding Chao said, "Although it will waste some time, at least it can ensure that there will be no interference during the transmission process."
