When they woke up the next morning, the people in the camp were horrified to find—

Two people are missing!

Link, who spoke to Sim Xue yesterday, was also one of them.

"Impossible! Yesterday when I was fighting the mutant wolves, I saw Yuichi. One of the team members was shocked to hear that the two were missing, and said in disbelief.

"yes, he and Link slept next to me when we entered the tent yesterday." Another man who shared a tent with the two chimed in.

"Then why is it missing today?"

Before Si Moxue stepped out of the tent, she heard a commotion outside. She lifted the curtain, and Stanley was grimacing, inspecting the tent where they had slept before.

After listening to the team members' gossip discussions, Si Moxue roughly understood what happened.

This morning, just after dawn, one of the team members got up to release the water. He slept on the innermost level of the tent, and when he came out, he had to go past the others.

At first, he thought that Link and Yuichi Nagura had also gone out to pee, but he didn't see them outside the camp, and he still didn't see the two of them when he came back after solving the internal emergency.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, so he woke up the other teammates to ask, but he didn't expect that the two were really gone.

Yuichi Nagura is a trainee wasteland hunter in the team, and Si Moxue has a little impression of him - he is a skinny and small black-haired man, although he is only a trainee hunter, but he always fights with a ruthlessness that breaks the kettle.

But this is such a person, along with Link, who disappeared quietly last night, and even the teammates sleeping next to him didn't notice it.

At this time, there was a shallow indentation on the futon where the two had slept, and it seemed that there was still residual warmth to the touch, but the person was nowhere to be seen.

The crazy words of the eyewitnesses came to the minds of everyone:

"It's going to kill all the people in the agglomeration first! And then, you, you cowards hiding in the oasis, will be taken out of hell by him......"

"Could it be that the madman is telling the truth, there really are ghosts ......" someone in the team began to waver.

"Phew." Liang Wenruo was originally bending down to inspect the tent, but he happened to hear the words of the team members, and reprimanded, "Zi Bu is strange and confused." Don't talk nonsense here and disturb people's hearts. ”

The conclusion that the witness was pretending to be crazy was just his guess, and in the absence of actual evidence, Liang Wenruo did not tell the rest of the team.

"But...... The two of them are so big and gone. The reprimanded team member's voice was already crying.

Stankan scrutinized the tent where the two had disappeared, and the tent they were using was rudimentary, with a draped tarp serving as a curtain.

The tarpaulin tank had been inspected and nothing was out of the ordinary, so he entered the tent to try to find some clues on the ground where the two had disappeared.

The two disappeared strangely, but not without leaving any traces-

Stanks found several shallow pits on the ground that were clustered next to each other, which were not found in other tents.

He leaned in and sniffed it, but there was nothing special.

Not every genetic hybrid can get a significant improvement in smell, and the main thing that improves the speed and climbing ability on difficult terrain is the tank hybrid.

He went out and called Newton, a canine hybrid with a well-developed sense of smell.

Newton sniffed on the shallow pit for a long time, and only after a long time that Tank began to urge him impatiently, he hesitated and said, "It seems that there is a ...... What does nitric acid taste like? ”

"Nitric acid? How did nitric acid end up here? You smell wrong, right? Puzzled, Si Tan asked rhetorically.

Newton was also unsure of the results he smelled: "Probably, I'm not sure ...... either"

The early morning wind was light, the vast sky was covered with a thick layer of clouds, and the sun appeared a faint bright shadow behind the clouds. The earthy yellow wasteland spreads out in all directions, and in the distance are the ruins of decaying buildings.

Heaven and earth look like a cold-toned oil painting that has been easily smeared.

Vague and deserted.

At the downwind of the camp, the terrain slowly descended here, forming a shallow large pit, where the wolf corpses that everyone had killed yesterday were piled up.

There is no other place to hide.

Stann lifted the curtain and came out of the tent, and all eyes fell on him - he was the leader, and he would decide the next step of the team.

The investigation team suffered setbacks one after another, and the original domineering attitude of the tank was gone, and it looked like it was much older.

"Pack up the camp and get ready for ...... Continue the search for the 'Strange Beast'. Tank heard his own voice say.

The team of only thirteen people had already lost two people before they saw the 'alien beast', and the losses were not heavy.

But between finding the inexplicably missing teammate and continuing to search for the "Strange Beast", Tank chose to continue the search for the "Strange Beast".

The purpose of this trip was originally to kill the "strange beast", and since the two disappeared inexplicably in their sleep, I am afraid that their fate is like this. Continuing to search for the "alien beast" and not letting it attack more people is the top priority at this time.

Stanley comforted himself with this.

The team leader spoke, and the rest of the team members, even if they were reluctant to give up on their disappeared teammates, all started to collect tents, extinguish fires, and clean up the remaining garbage.

"Wait, this ......"

Si Moxue picked up the garbage on the east side of the camp and found that in the big pit with wolf corpses, there were two wolf corpses nearly three meters long.

"Which wolf did we kill yesterday?"

"How can there be two ends?" Liang Wenruo heard the sound and came over.

He frowned and compared the two wolf corpses for a while, then pointed to a wolf corpse with a pointed muzzle and said, "This one? I remember that the head wolf had a darker coat...... Right? ”

Tank also came over: "It's the lighter one." ”

"Isn't it......" Liang Wenruo disagreed, "Why don't we call Newton to smell it, after all, they are close relatives?" ”

"No matter how mixed they are, they can be humans." Si Moxue sneered.

Liang Wenruo scratched his head and muttered softly: "The evolved humans in the main city don't think that the hybrid people are considered humans. ”

"They all say that pure-blooded humans are smarter, so what do you think?" Si Tank asked Si Moxue in a rough voice.

Si Moxue stepped forward and flipped the corpse: "...... There should always be something special about it. ”

"Then tell me about it." Tank said.

Si Moxue said frankly: "I don't know. ”

"Oh, pure-blooded humans are nothing more than that." Hearing this, Si Tan sneered, "Although you can fight a little, you are not the same as us hybrids." ”

Si Moxue blinked and didn't speak.

"What are you doing?"

The voice of Opus came from the camp, and he had been packing his tent on the other side before he noticed the movement.

"Big tall man, you also come to see these two wolves, who know that they are the first wolves we killed last night." Liang Wenruo greeted.

Opus ran down the pit, looked between the two wolf corpses for a while, and said, "These two are wolves. ”
