Sim Moxue's cold voice, mixed with the cold wind of the Tartarus Wasteland, passed through the crowd and fell into everyone's ears:

"Is there one person missing from the team?"

Just now, everyone's attention was attracted by Newton in the wolf cave and the white bones in the cave, and the chatter was noisy.

Si Moxue was on the periphery of the crowd, she had always been very careful, and when she looked around by chance, she found that the team members gathered at the entrance of the cave...... There seems to be one missing.

The team members at the entrance of the cave immediately looked at each other to see who was missing.

Originally, there were thirteen people in the team, two of them were missing in the camp, and there should have been eleven more people, but the people who were present were counted...... There are only ten of them.

"Huh? Danny? Danny? What about people, people......"

At this time, the wind calmed down, and the sand and dust carried by the wind in mid-air slowly fell down. The sand beneath his feet stretches out into the distance, making a "rustling" sound when he steps on it.

On the edge of the wolf's cave, the crowd of people surrounded by loose yellow sand stepped on a messy footprint; But in the outermost circle of the footprints, a piece of sand was strangely empty, leaving only a pair of footprints on it.

"He's standing here just now......" muttered the team member standing next to the footprints.

His missing teammate, Danny, had been only a few centimeters away from him, but in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared for no apparent reason, and he didn't hear a sound at all.

He turned his head, revealing a face pale with fear, staring blankly at where Danny had disappeared, his pupils dilated and his lips trembling slightly.

"Ahhhh

The team member actually left everyone behind, screaming in fear, while running wildly in the direction of the oasis:

"What the hell is the mission, I—I'm not doing it...... We're all going to die here...... It came out of hell, all of us...... will be like those who are missing, and they will ...... to the ground."

The voice stopped abruptly, and the screams of the team members were still echoing in everyone's ears, but his body seemed to suddenly have an autonomous consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Then, he was in everyone's sight...... Gone.

"Everyone, get together."

Stanley snapped. I have to say that this usually proud and arrogant man does have the temperament of a leader, and at the moment of crisis, he first thought of bringing everyone together to avoid anyone from disappearing alone.

The crowd stood hand in hand on the edge of the boulder, their eyes fixed on the place where the team members had disappeared.

After a while, Si Moxue said softly: "...... Can anyone see how he disappeared? ”

"No...... He just disappeared suddenly, and he ...... disappeared out of thin air," Liang Wenruo rarely had a serious face, and said word by word.

"Did you notice anything after he fell?" Tank asked in a hoarse voice.

Opus's long, deep, narrow eyes narrowed as he looked at the place where the team had vanished into thin air—there was a shallow pit in the sand that he had left behind when he fell.

His usual idler's face disappeared, revealing a little confusion: "...... I seemed to see the fabric on his leg being ripped when he fell to the ground...... It was as if something was pulling him under the sand. ”

Other than that, Opus didn't see anything else.

But most of the team members had an idea in their hearts - there was something, under the sand, to capture them.

But what it is, what it looks like, how many there are, they don't know. All they knew was that it was a living creature, not even if it was a plant or an animal.

The wind blew again, smoothing out little by little the traces left by the vanished team members on the sand.

It's like they never existed.

"Get out of here and go to the ruins of the city as fast as you can."

It was Si Moxue who spoke, and the girl's voice was cold, reminiscent of the turbulence under the ice of the river in winter.

Since the thing came out from under the sand, the rest of the people took refuge in a place where there was no sand—the cities were mostly collapsed, but the concrete foundations were still there. It's better to stay there than to just step on the sand without shelter.

"No, the sound of such a rash rush may draw things underground." Liang Wenruo spoke out to stop it.

I don't know how fast the thing is moving underground, and the team can't run past it.

"But you can't waste it here." Si Moxue's face was solemn, so many people were standing in a group here, that thing was about to emerge from the ground, and it would be a team as soon as it was caught.

Liang Wenruo's brows tightened, what Si Moxue could think of, he couldn't have imagined, whether he ran or not, danger existed.

Between two fires.

He turned his eyes to Stank, who was the captain and it was up to him to make the decision.

Tank pondered for a moment and turned to Opus: "What do you think?" ”

Optus had repeatedly shown his wits in the ranks, and Stein wanted to hear his opinion.

"Run." Opus did not hesitate to give the answer.

"What if that thing catches up?"

"Can't catch up with me."

"But you don't know how fast it's going." The players on the side heard their conversation and interjected.

Opus turned, and a smile flashed in his long narrow eyes: "I mean, you can't catch up with me." I just need to run faster than you. ”

Team Member: "......"

As long as you run faster than us, that thing won't catch you.

Because we were arrested!

Although Opus seems to be joking on the surface, he has his own judgment in his heart-

The thing didn't move after capturing two people in a row, and there are two possibilities at this time:

1. That thing has caught enough prey and left.

2. That thing is lurking, waiting for the right moment to strike.

The first possibility is good, but the second cannot be ignored. Besides, who knows if that thing will come back even if it leaves.

Therefore, with Opus's idea, instead of waiting in place, it is better to give it a go.

Thinking of this, Ops cursed in his heart, the feeling of being treated as a prey was really TM.

Now everyone is panicking, and no one knows who will be dragged away next.

Opus didn't want to waste his tongue explaining the stakes to them, so it was better to use this joking way to let them run a little faster, a little faster, and maybe they could break through to a chance of survival.

Hearing Opus's answer, Si Tank pondered for a while, and decisively ordered: "Everyone, immediately discard the unnecessary burden, the genetic liberation that can be genetically liberated, and run to the ruins of the city as fast as possible after receiving the order." ”

He is not stupid, he can naturally guess the stakes.

Hearing this, the team members unloaded their equipment, leaving only the necessary weapons and water.

"Run!"

At the sound of the order, except for Opus and Sim Xue, all of them were genetically liberated, and nine people ran wildly on the sand.

The sand is loose, and every step you take seems to sink into the sand.

But no one dared to slow down, everyone took out twelve points of strength, raised their legs, stepped forward, raised their legs again, and rushed towards the ruins step by step, for fear of being left behind.

Nine people were divided into three echelons in the run.

The first echelon is the Si tank and the Si Moxue.

The second echelon is Ops, Liang Wenruo and other genetically hybrids who are good at running.

The third echelon is those who have a low degree of genetic fusion or those who are not genetically good at running.

Si Tan took the time to glance at Si Moxue in the wild running, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although Si Moxue was panting badly, the speed on her feet was not slow at all, and even faintly surpassed him.

Si Tan is mixed with antelope genes, after the gene is liberated, he is agile, he is the best at running, and when he sees this, he exerts more force under his feet, and his speed is a few points faster, surpassing Si Moxue.

But Si Moxue quickly caught up again.
