Chapter Twenty-Three: The Vanishing Man
Originally, this possibility was the greatest, but after a while, Lou Lan denied this possibility.
Because this possibility is really the least possible in theory.
It can be seen from the degree of decay of the female zombie's body that she has not mutated for long, and the bones and muscles of the limbs of the newborn zombie have not been successfully mutated, and they are not as agile as the mature body at all.
At their speed, they can staggering a few steps at most, let alone climb from the first and second floors to the fifth floor in less than an hour.
So where exactly do zombies come from? And when she went upstairs before, she obviously heard the faint cries for help behind those security doors, where did these humans and zombies go?
Constantly recalling her behavior in her mind, as well as a few events she had experienced before, Lou Lan always felt that there were clues swimming around in front of her eyes, but she just couldn't catch them.
What is it?
The time when the zombies mutated, the time it took for Lou Lan to go upstairs, the time she went downstairs, and the time she consumed in 301 now......
Time......
That's right, it's time!
A flash of inspiration flashed in Lou Lan's mind, it was the relationship of time, from the time she went upstairs to 601, and then to 501, during this period, because of Fang Hui and that old man zombie, there was a time difference of about half an hour!
Then there was the more than half an hour when she left from the fifth floor to the fourth floor and stayed at home, which was another time difference.
So for 501, the only room she hasn't entered, the people inside have an hour's time difference to perform a series of actions.
But there are still a few things that are wrong......
Lou Lan pulled a long hair and slowly wrapped it around her index finger.
The strands of hair go around the first knuckle.
Doubt 1: What is the identity of that uncle, is it just to lead her to the 4th floor, so that the people on the 5th floor have a time difference to prepare? But how could he be sure that Lou Lan would definitely follow him downstairs, and would not continue to stay on the 5th floor, or even go to 501 to have a look?
The hair strands detoured through the second knuckle.
Doubt 2: Assuming that her above arguments are true, then people in 501 must need to dispose of those "things", how do they deal with them? And those humans, how could they make these people go with them willingly and without resistance?
There is still one last bit of tail left in the hair wrapped around the index finger, and one last important question.
Question 3: If the purpose of 501's people is those "things", then why do they bring humans from every household? Wouldn't it be nice to just kill people or dispose of those "things" on the spot, why bother creating such a series of things? Confusing?
The more she thought about it, the more Lou Lan felt that she had gone around in a circle and couldn't find an exit.
Who the hell is Uncle? What exactly is the purpose of a 501? And where have the disappeared humans gone?
These problems are like steel surrounding each other, and finally form an intractable nine links.
"Sister, sister, what is this?" Lu Jing's voice sounded in his ears.
Lou Lan's mind was very confused, and she wanted to turn her head and perfunctory him, but the moment she saw Lu Jing, all the thoughts in her heart suddenly stopped.
401!
That's right, there is no need to go to 601, and she can't go to 501 and she doesn't want to startle the snake for the time being, but there is still 401 from Lu Jing's family to go to collect evidence.
I was in a hurry and didn't take a closer look at the environment, so maybe there would be some clues in 401.
"I'll go to 401, you wait here." Thinking of it, he acted immediately, Lou Lan cleanly packed up the instant noodle box, and regardless of the blood stains on his face and clothes, he picked up the rainbow and was about to go out.
Lu Jing's "little friend" looked at her with a blank face holding a nine-link ring, as if he didn't react to what was happening at all.
"Sister, why are you going?"
Lou Lan had already walked to the door at this time, and when she heard his words, she finally slowed down.
If she goes to 401 to check, there shouldn't be any danger, but if she finds something in 401, maybe she will go to 501. And 501 doesn't know what the situation is, if he goes rashly, it is very likely to startle the snake and cause a counterattack by the people inside.
Let's take Lu Realm with you, one more person is more than one helper, and his ability should be quite helpful.
"Forget it, you can go with me." Lou Lan greeted.
"Uh-oh." Lu Jing's "little friend" was very obedient, and he didn't ask her why, he stood up very happily and planned to go with her.
Lou Lan's face was complicated, and it was actually dangerous to go upstairs to investigate this time. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have a way, she wouldn't want to take such a "little child" to do such a thing.
But on second thought, this kind of behavior is actually unavoidable. If she really accidentally hung up on it, with Lu Jing's IQ, Lou Lan was very skeptical that he would be able to survive this last day for two weeks.
Thinking of this, Lou Lan's heart softened and comforted: "If you are still hungry when you come back, I will find you to see if there is anything delicious." ”
"Uh-huh!" Hearing the words "delicious", Lu Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and the joy on his face really couldn't stop.
So Lou Lan felt even more guilty.
"Ahem, let's talk about it later, come with me upstairs first." Lou Lan took the lead, holding a candle and walking to the fourth floor with a flowing rainbow.
Lu Jing hurriedly followed, but he was still fiddling with the Nine Links in his hand, and he didn't know what he could see in such a dim light.
After walking a few steps to the rest platform, Lou Lan turned his head and saw that he was still playing, and said with rare concern: "Don't play that yet, the light is so dark, look at the road, don't fall." ”
"The realm knows, and the realm is obedient." Lu Jing was really obedient and stopped playing the Nine Rings, but that's all, he didn't put the Nine Rings up, he still held it in his hand, like some kind of treasure.
After saying it once, Lou Lan didn't bother to care anymore and continued to go up.
There is no light in the corridor, only the footsteps of the two of them, and a little candle flame blown by the wind, which is really very weird.
The door to 401 was open, and it hadn't been closed when they left.
Lou Lan asked Lu Jing to follow her with a candle, carefully observing the details that he hadn't noticed before.
But no......
After wandering around the house for a long time, Lou Lan found nothing, at most only found some furnishings that seemed to have been moved, but there were no traces of blood and struggle as she imagined.
Her previous guesses were all wrong?
No.
Lou Lan shook her head, even if her previous guess was not 100% correct, it shouldn't be completely wrong, there must be something she didn't find.
Where is it?
