Chapter 99: The Missing
By the time Zhu Jue woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.
The scene he saw last night was still lingering in his mind, and he endured the discomfort in his mind, Zhu Jue frowned and looked at Wu Tong and the others who were eating breakfast in his room.
"Why are you all in my room?"
He remembered that he must have locked the door.
"We bought you a supper last night, came back to send you a message but no one answered, the door of the room was locked, because I was worried that something would happen to you, so I asked for a room card from the hotel, but I saw you lying on the floor when I entered the door, if it wasn't for the medical machine on the side of the hotel saying that you were fine, now you should be in a bed at the Takma Municipal Hospital...... How are you feeling right now?"
Zhu Jue's situation Wu Tong and Li Qinglian knew a little bit, there was an accident during the previous snowstorm, although neither of them went out with them at that time, but Zhu Jue's exhaustion and ragged clothes after coming back were in their eyes.
This time Zhu Jue suddenly fainted in the hotel room, on the premise of confirming that there was no illness, Wu Tong and Li Qinglian were afraid that he would suddenly "transform" in the middle of the night, and the hospital would definitely not dare to send it, so they could only prepare a spiritual protector to watch it in turn.
However, the spiritual protection device could not be seen by Oliwei and Chu Yun, otherwise it would arouse their suspicions, so in the end, only Wu Tong and Li Qinglian guarded Zhu Jue, and the other two came over when they had breakfast.
"I'm fine, hard work...... Where's what I have?"
Zhu Jue, who had just woken up, got out of bed to wash, and as soon as the soles of his feet touched the ground, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised his right hand only to find that the fossil "flower" that should have been pinched in his hand was nowhere to be found.
"I didn't notice you were holding something in your hand when I carried you to bed, did you see that?"
Wu Tong recalled the situation at that time, and in his impression, he didn't notice that Zhu Jue had something in his hand, so he could only turn his head and ask a few people next to him.
Zhu Jue saw that they were all shaking their heads, a little stunned for a while, patted his forehead, and subconsciously looked back at the corner of the wall, the fossil that was originally placed in the corner of the wall has disappeared, which means that the scene he saw yesterday was not a dream, but it did happen, but that special scene should only be seen by himself.
Maybe it was crushed by yourself and cleaned up by a cleaning robot?
In the surprised eyes of several people next to him, he got up and staggered to the side of the cleaning robot.
The mental confusion caused by yesterday's experience and the confusion when he first got up finally caused Zhu Jue to squat in front of the cleaning robot like a child, drooping the corners of his eyes, pursing his lips a little unhappily, and poking at the buttons on the outside of the robot one by one with a somewhat sluggish movement
"Cleaning function activated...... Cleaning function turned off...... Air purification function start-up ......"
The constant mechanical prompt sound made Zhu Jue a little irritable, and he involuntarily arched his head and lowered his head, his chin rested on his knees, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, and the scenes of the prehistoric period began to appear in his mind again, which made him quickly fall into deep thought again.
"What's wrong with him?"
Li Qinglian looked at Zhu Jue, who was staring at a cleaning robot in a daze with a ridiculous face, and said.
"It can't be because of last night's coma that I have mental problems? I taught myself some things about this when I was in the Einsatzgruppen, I'm going to check it out. ”
Olivia also saw Zhu Jue in this state for the first time, and was about to go over to ask, but as soon as she stood up, she was grabbed by Chu Yun's wrist.
"What's the hurry, when have you ever seen him like this? I've got to take a picture of it, it's been enough to laugh at him for months. ”
Chu Yun, who took out her mobile phone, would not let go of this opportunity, and was about to turn on the camera to start shooting, but when she aimed at the position, there was still Zhu Jue next to the cleaning robot whose lid had been opened.
Only the sound of water in the bathroom hinted at Zhu Jue's current location.
......
"This is the car you rented? ”
Zhu Jue looked at the roof covered with a layer of dark green sunshade cloth, and said as an extraordinarily large off-road vehicle.
"Well, there were five of us, and the normal SUV would be cramped, and we had to put a lot of stuff, so I rented the best car in their shop. ”
"The best buggy, to be exact, because I found a white motorhome in that shop that even had a kitchen...... But someone has booked it before us, I heard that it is a rich man, and he came to find the magical creatures on the video, and even the RV was prepared in advance, and it is estimated that he will not stop if he does not find those magical creatures. ”
The desert and the Gobi Desert outside of Takma are vast, and if you don't have an exact location, it's not easy to find the magical creatures that have appeared in the video before, and on the contrary, if you're unlucky, even if you wander around them for a few weeks, you won't find anything.
So before leaving, Zhu Jue set a time for this search.
For two days, they searched in the desert for only two days, starting at noon today and returning to the city of Takama before the arrival of tomorrow night.
This time is undoubtedly a bit tight, but for Zhu Jue, it is undoubtedly a fool to waste more time here if he can't find it for two days, after all, they are not a scientific expedition team, but also the rich man who booked an RV in advance and lived in the desert if he didn't find his goal, and the affairs of the grotesque studio could not be put on hold all the time.
Fortunately, I wish Jue and his party good luck.
Chu Yun, who had just gotten into the car and was checking her phone, said she had gotten a clear road map through the Takma city government.
"Yesterday when we were wandering around the Takma market, we accidentally met a woman who was looking for someone, her husband had left Takma City two days ago to work in another nearby city, but there was no response so far. ”
Chu Yun flipped out a few photos she had taken and handed them to Zhu Jue, and then said,
"Here is a chat between the missing man and his wife, about the evening before yesterday, you pay attention to these words, 'There is a glow behind the hill ahead', 'We seem to see the aurora borealis', 'Mark is going to go over and see, we were originally on the path, this is further down', although there are no photos, but I have reason to believe that they have seen something special, so I promised to take her to her husband on the condition that she give us information. ”
With the mentality of trying, Chu Yun contacted the Takma Municipal Government in the name of the Yecheng inspection team that came with her, and asked them if there were any relatively remote paths in the transportation routes outside the city.
Sure enough, in addition to the current highway connecting various cities in this area, there is also an abandoned road outside Takma City, which is a shortcut and there are no toll booths along the way, but the road environment is a bit bad, and generally only people who are in a hurry and greedy will choose to take this road.
"Are you ready? We're leaving. ”
Olivia sat in the driver's seat, she was a person who had even taken the Federation's combat armor driver's license, there was naturally no problem with this kind of car, the route Chu Yun obtained had already been imported into the on-board system, all she had to do was to follow that route to find the two missing people.
"The Takma City Public Security Department reminds all drivers and passengers not to deviate from the main road if it is not necessary, the desert is dangerous, and please be cautious when traveling......"
Amid the roaring engine of the off-road vehicle, the message from the radio did not attract their attention.
