Chapter 165: Funeral Home
Max recalled, "The man who came to see me had a bad smell, a bit like garlic but not garlic. ”
"It smells of arsenic." Calder said, "Is there anything else?" ”
Max tilted his head sideways and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "There's a rotten sand fruit smell." ”
Calder nodded, put his hand on Max's shoulder, and said, "Thank you, Max." With that, Calder walked out.
"Be careful." Max said.
Calder didn't look back and said, "I'm not used to it." ”
"I didn't say you, I said him." Max's gaze fell on Dolan.
Dolan glanced at Max, then followed Calder out. Weiyang and his party followed, but when they passed by Max, Max shrugged his nose, as if he was sniffing something. Immediately after, he frowned, and took a step back, his cyan eyes meeting the gaze of Weiyang.
"Sorry......"
When Weiyang and Calder had all left, Max breathed a sigh of relief, but his brow furrowed even tighter.
"Who are these guys? The one who hit the head smelled of blood......"
It didn't matter what Max thought, and they stopped on the side of the road as they left the cake shop. Calder took out a piece of change from his pocket and handed it to Dolan, saying, "Take a taxi back, the following work is not something you can do in Chapter 165." ”
Dolan looked at Calder, then at the four of them, and finally his eyes fell on the change, nodded and said, "Okay...... I'll go back and give you a small receipt. ”
They watched as Dolan called a taxi and left quickly, before he withdrew his gaze and looked at Calder.
"What Max just said...... What is the meaning? ”
Calder said, "Arsenic was used to embalm corpses during the Civil War, and the people we were looking for seemed to live in what used to be a funeral home, and it would be enough to find the kind of place where sand fruit was grown." ”
"Okay." Weiyang nodded.
New York is growing fast, but in the middle of the city's high-rise buildings, there are many old buildings that have not been demolished. Weiyang and his party followed Calder's car all the way to the west, looking for the place that used to be the funeral home.
"In this direction...... Newton, with a map that only he could see, said, "I think I already know where Calder is going." ”
If you go in this direction, there is only one funeral home within the range, and it is still abandoned, which is very much in line with what Calder described before. This is where Newton was determined after comparing a map of New York from a long time ago.
"So is there going to be a battle next......" Zhang Heng asked.
"Not necessarily." Weiyang said: "But be prepared to fight." ”
The word battle was very unfamiliar to the three newcomers, and after Weiyang's words fell, the breathing of the three people stagnated slightly, and then the violent heartbeat and short breathing fully exposed their nervousness.
Among them, Zhang Heng was better, and after taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down his state of mind, as if he had been prepared for the battle scene a long time ago.
"Don't be that nervous." Newton said, "The system I gave you is enough for a normal combat situation, as long as you don't fall into the wizard's sorcery, of course. ”
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "Do you have any extra weapons?" If anything...... Can you give me a handful? ”
Newton glanced at Weiyang, who nodded slightly, indicating that he could. It's just a few weapons, and they're not so stingy.
Newton took out three small pistols and gave one to each of the three newcomers, and each of them was divided into two magazines of normal bullets and one magazine of spirit bullets. He thought that these should be enough, after all, with him and Weiyang in front, the chance of them using weapons should not be too great.
"Here we are."
Weiyang stopped the car, and all five people got out of the car.
Calder slammed the door shut, then looked out into the alley on one side of the street. The alley is dark and has a run-down feel to it.
"Let's go." Weiyang was the first to walk in with Calder.
Newton's combat assistance system detection function was fully activated, and streams of data passed through his eyes.
The distance between the rooms on the left and right sides of the building is not very large, so it seems narrow, but once you pass through it, the view suddenly widens. The eye is open to the eye, with a tree in the center, no green is visible from the twisted trunk, and the rotten sand fruit falls to the ground, giving off a strange smell. The surrounding walls are painted in white or red and black colors.
"This is it." Calder said.
A few red streaks flashed in Newton's eyes, and the thermal image quickly swept across the building.
Two heat sources came into his sight.
"There were two people in the house, one on the ground floor and one on the third floor." Newton looked up at the farthest window on the third floor, where the heat source showed to be behind it. However, in the dark room, you can't see anything inside with the naked eye.
However, the people in the room seemed to sense Newton's probing gaze, took a step back, and then for some reason, the entire heat source suddenly disappeared from Newton's combat assistance system!
"The one on the third floor is gone!" Newton hurriedly spoke.
Calder stared and said, "Looks like they already know we're coming." Let's go, go in and have a look. ”
Since the person on the third floor was gone, but the heat source in the basement was still there, they pushed open the iron door and walked in.
The basement was very dark, and the sunlight outside could only shine in through the open iron door, and under the constant refraction, the dim yellow light spread all over the basement, and the atmosphere was rendered a little terrifying.
However, except for Su Lerou and Chun Zhimei, the two women were a little scared, and the others did not show any performance. Because the heat source in their eyes clearly told them where the enemy was. Weiyang didn't wear the glasses, but his mental power detection had imprinted the trace of the person and the entire structure of the basement in his mind without any mistakes.
Bite...... Bite...... Bite......
A sound came as if someone was hitting the iron basin with a small wooden stick, and the sudden sound startled Su Lerou and Chun Zhimei, and the two of them let out an exclamation.
Weiyang and the others were not frightened by the dinging sound, but they were a little embarrassed by the voices of the two women.
Calder looked back at the two of them, and then turned his gaze to Weiyang. Although he didn't say anything, Weiyang felt that there were some hidden words in Calder's eyes.
But now is clearly not the time to think about that
