Chapter 1032: The Missing Guide
Uncle Li just wanted to refute me, but he seemed to hear the meaning of my words, and scolded with a smile, "Stinky boy, that's more salt I've eaten than you've ever eaten, okay?!"
Just when Uncle Li and I were "hurting each other", I saw a lightning bolt "click" outside the tent, and the night sky illuminated instantly brightened. But in the brightness of that moment, I seemed to see a figure in the rain outside......
Confused, I went to the door of the tent and looked out, but there was nothing but darkness outside. When Yuan Muye saw it, he came over and asked me what was wrong? I couldn't say for sure, "I seem to have seen a figure outside just now......
"No, who can stand outside in such a heavy rain!" Uncle Li interjected.
Ding Yi, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Could it be Captain Zheng's people patrolling?"
Yuan Muye echoed when he heard this, "There is this possibility, after all, their main responsibility is our safety." ”
But when I heard this, I shook my head, and then said to them with a nervous face, "It won't be from Team Zheng, because that person is dressed differently than us......
The faces of several people changed when they heard this, if the people in the rain are not from our search team, then on this deserted island, who else will suddenly appear in the rain?"
At this time, Yuan Muye came to the small window of the tent and sat down, observing the situation outside, in the dark night, there seemed to be something about to move...... Out of professional sensitivity, Yuan Muye used the walkie-talkie to call Captain Zheng in the tent outside the area, asking him if he had sent his subordinates to patrol the night tonight, and if so, whether he was wearing the uniform clothing of the group.
Captain Zheng quickly replied, he said that he had indeed sent people to patrol the camp at night, but their people were all wearing the same raincoats of the group, and no one wore other clothes.
"You weren't dazzled just now, were you?" Yuan Muye asked me in a deep voice.
What can I say, the light of lightning just now is a flash, and the time it can be seen clearly is almost a second or two, although I can't be sure if that person is from our team, but someone standing in the rain is a sure thing......
Then Yuan Muye told Captain Zheng what I saw, and after listening to it, the other party told us on the walkie-talkie that we should not leave the tent again if there was nothing to do at night. As for who the figure was outside, he and his team would check again near the camp.
Later, Captain Zheng shouted to the people in the tents on the walkie-talkie, asking them if anyone had just braved the rain to get out of their tents, but the answer they got was all negative, who was sick!
This incident made the atmosphere in the camp strange for a while, and although no one mentioned it that night, there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness in everyone's hearts......
The next morning, the rain had turned from heavy to small, and it seemed that it would not be long before it stopped. But just as we all came out of our tents and were about to gather for breakfast, we saw Ulan running out of the nearby jungle with a nervous expression, saying that one of their local guides, Pupt, was missing.
The big guys were all taken aback when they heard this, especially Captain Zheng, and he immediately asked ulan, was the local guide who didn't see last night?
But what happened to us was even more surprised by Ulan's words, he actually said that he and his companions didn't hear what Captain Zheng said on the walkie-talkie last night...... However, at that time, Pupt should still be in the tent, because ulan woke up and found that Pupt was missing. The rain was already light, so he went out of the tent to look for it, but he never found it.
At this time, Captain Zheng came to my side and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you carefully recall whether the figure you saw in the rain yesterday is the missing Pupt?"
I shook my head apologetically and said, "The lightning was only a momentary thing, it was so fast that I could only see that it must be a human figure." But I didn't see what the man was wearing, but I was sure that it wasn't the jungle outfit we were wearing. ”
For a while, everyone's faces were covered with a layer of gloom, and there was an accident before the search for the wreckage of the plane began, which was really bad at the beginning!!
So Ulan took us to the tent where he lived, and found that Pupt's bed was a mess, apparently someone slept on it at night, which also echoed Ulan's statement that the pupt people were still in the tent before going to bed.
So the question is? What does Pupt do when his companions are asleep? If he just goes out to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he won't go home overnight, right?
At this time, Yuan Muye turned around and asked ulan, "Are you familiar with this Pupt, could he have left on his own for some reason?"
ulan shook his head and said, "Although this is the first time I've worked with Pupt, he's a big name in our industry and he's definitely a professional, I can't think of a reason why he would suddenly leave his clients behind." Besides, the fishing boat that sent us here has already left, and if we don't call by satellite phone, we won't come back, so how can Pupt leave the island without a boat?
I could hear that Ulan's tone was very unhappy, and it seemed that he was very upset with Yuan Muye's questioning whether Popt had left on his own. But this time I'm quite a little Yuan, because after all, this is just a guess, if Popt didn't leave on his own, then there may be some danger......
At this moment, one of Ah Guang's companions ran over and said that when he was sorting out the climbing equipment he was going to use today, he found that a set was missing. When everyone heard this, their expressions sank...... With a missing guide and a set of climbing gear disappearing, it's hard not to think about the relationship between the two.
Although none of us said anything, Ulan's face was already ugly at this moment, and finally he was silent for a moment before he said faintly, "If it is true that Popt took that rock climbing equipment with him, then the only place he can go is the cliff we encountered yesterday......"
But why did Pupt go there with his climbing gear in the first place? I don't think it was because he wanted to save people, but none of us could guess the answer for a while......
