Chapter Twenty-Five: The Missing Woman
Under Cheng Ran's careful operation, he quickly set all the piles of wood on fire, and the raging flames soared into the sky, at least about five meters high, enough to illuminate the entire beach.
There was a stench of burning hair in the air, which was very pungent, but Cheng Ran and Li Yuxin were silent, both knowing where the smell came from.
"What about the woman?"
"Still lying on the beach."
Cheng Ran asked so casually, and Li Yuxin also said casually.
It was originally a very normal question and answer, and neither of them cared, but Cheng Ran inadvertently glanced at the beach, and saw that there were still any women on the empty beach, and they didn't even see a figure.
"The man is gone!"
Cheng Ran was shocked and let out an incomprehensible exclamation.
Li Yuxin looked back when she heard the words, and this look made her feel a chill spread all over her body, when he came to Cheng Ran's side just now, he obviously left the woman on the beach, but now the woman disappeared inexplicably.
"This ...... This...... What the hell is going on! ”
Li Yuxin had already made the picture in front of her tremble, and a big living person at the end of the day disappeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye, which was too weird.
This sudden change made Cheng Ran and Li Yuxin not react.
There was obviously a living person lying on the beach just now, but now there is no figure.
Li Yuxin's lips trembled slightly, and she said with a nervous expression: "I obviously put her on the beach just now, but I can't, he's still in a coma." ”
"Maybe she's woken up!"
If there were any supernatural incidents, Cheng Ran would naturally not believe it, and the education he received since he was a child made him a staunch atheist.
Cheng Ran said: "No matter what is going on, let's try to find her first." ”
The fire was still burning violently, and the flames that rose high enough to illuminate most of the beach were enough to illuminate most of the beach, and there was no time to care about the two corpses that were about to be burned to ashes.
"If she had come to her senses on her own, she would have been very weak, and she would definitely not have been able to walk far, so we would have searched the beach and the vicinity."
"Let's be together!"
Li Yuxin glanced at the two corpses that were still in the fire, Cheng Ran could not feel afraid, but it was a little unrealistic to make her not afraid, most women were a little more courageous than men, no matter how much they said that there were still burning corpses on the beach, coupled with the inexplicable disappearance of the woman, Li Yuxin couldn't help but feel a burst of coolness.
Cheng Ran looked at Li Yuxin's frightened eyes, and realized that he had ignored her feelings, and an apology suddenly rose in his heart, and then he agreed to take Li Yuxin to look for it.
Cheng Ran took out a relatively burning wood from the fire and used it as a torch, and when the two came to the place where the woman was lying just now, from the faint light of the fire, they could clearly see a row of footprints heading towards the south.
"If there are footprints, then you won't be a ghost." Seeing the footprints, Cheng Ran said in his heart
So the two followed the footprints all the way, but they only saw the footprints along the way, but they didn't see the woman's figure.
Finally the two of them reached the end of the beach, and the row of footprints disappeared, and the woman's whereabouts were nowhere to be found.
"Isn't she in a coma, even if she wakes up, she can't walk so fast!"
Li Yuxin's eyes were full of doubts and puzzles, how could a person who had just woken up from a coma walk faster than two normal people.
Cheng Ran squatted down and carefully observed those footprints, the footprints were very deep, and the surrounding sand grains were also very messy, seeing that this woman was running instead of walking, no wonder the two couldn't catch up all the way.
Cheng Ran shook his head and said, "Maybe she woke up a long time ago, but she just kept pretending to be unconscious, just waiting for the opportunity to escape." ”
A word to wake up the person in the dream, Cheng Ran's words made Li Yuxin suddenly clear in an instant, it makes sense to explain it like this, the woman has already been awake, but she has been pretending to be unconscious, in order to wait for an opportunity to escape.
But if that were the case, it would beg another question, which was why the woman would think of running away.
"Do we look like bad people?"
Cheng Ran felt incomprehensible about this, according to common sense, when a survivor was washed by the waves on an island, and saw a human on this island, it was normal for the survivor to be happy at this time.
But what is the situation now, this survivor seems to regard him and Li Yuxin as terrifying existences, first pretending to be unconscious, and then waiting for an opportunity to escape.
Li Yuxin tried to analyze it at this time and said, "Perhaps, it may have something to do with those two men in suits." ”
However, this time it was Cheng Ran's turn to wake up Li Yuxin, patted her thigh, and shouted, "What," this woman and the two men in suits are likely to know each other, and they may have some kind of special relationship between them.
Cheng Ran also tried to guess at this time and said, "Could it be that those two people are his bodyguards?" ”
Li Yuxin asked rhetorically and said, "Then have you ever seen a bodyguard with a gun at any time?" ”
Cheng Ran shook his head, usually bodyguards don't carry guns, and when Cheng Ran found the pistol, there was only one bullet left in it, which means that the gun was fired, but who would carry a gun with him and use it? Agent, Spy...... Or maybe it's a killer? For a while, the identities of those two people became a mystery again.
At this time, Li Yuxin said, "No matter what, let's find that woman first!" ”
"But now it's pitch black everywhere, where to look for it" The torch that Cheng Ran brought over was also extinguished at this time, and the eyes of the two of them were pitch black.
Li Yuxin closed her eyes and began to substitute herself into the woman's thinking, if she would be that woman, she would choose to flee in that direction, it is obvious that the jungle is the best place to go.
However, even if they knew that she had hid in the jungle, the jungle was so big that the two of them didn't even have a lighting tool, so it was too difficult to find her out like this.
Cheng Ran wanted to give up his plan to continue the search and began to retreat.
"Forget it, let her hide in the jungle first, and we'll look for it again during the day, anyway, this island is so big, and there is sea water all around, she can't go anywhere except stay on the island."
