Chapter 19: The Covenant of Fate (II)

The surrounding scenery has changed, no longer a static desert, but more dotted with rocky shrubs and grasses.

Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see a group of mountains in the distance, although the vegetation is not luxuriant, but it is better than the bare barren mountains.

According to Laili, the Dome Fishing Ground is surrounded by mountains, and the entrance to the mountain is home to a large granite dome, hence the name.

The closer you get to the Dome Fishing Ground, the more human activity has been seen on both sides of the road.

There are many abandoned tents, buckets, and abandoned cars, some of which are rusty, and some of which look like they have just stopped, confirming the fact that the fishing trade is thriving.

"Boss..."Tang Garlic, who had changed to the back seat, suddenly spoke timidly, patted Zheng Nannan on the shoulder, and said, "That...... Is that Sister Hong's car? ”

Zheng Nannan followed Tang Garlic's point, not far from the side of the road on the left, under a collapsed shack, revealing half of the fiery red buttocks.

Laili stopped the car very intimately and asked Zheng Nannan: "Do you want to go and see?" ”

Zheng Nannan nodded, pushed the car door and walked down, Hu Qi and Shu Onion in the back car also came down, and there were several other small leaders in the hospital, it seemed that everyone recognized Hong Xiangcai's car.

By this time the sky was already dark, and the surroundings were no more desolate than before, and it was like a bazaar scene, with all kinds of abandoned garbage and waste.

The gunmen in the hospital raised their guns one after another, Zheng Nannan and Hu Qi each held guns and knives and leaned over to make sure that there was no danger near the shack, so they approached the red bird and beckoned someone to come and move the debris pressed on the car.

The roof of the Redbird was smashed by a log beam, the front windshield was shattered, the door on the driver's side was open, and there were dried blood stains on the seat, not much, but it was conspicuous.

"Sister Hong has an accident." Tang Garlic covered his mouth and exclaimed, as if he was a little incredulous.

Zheng Nannan felt a little weird, so he asked Shu Onion to turn on the flashlight, reached out and touched the blood stains on the seat, and said suspiciously: "It's less than ten minutes before she left us earlier, right?" ”

"Almost, we didn't catch up along the way." Tang Garlic nodded yes.

Zheng Nannan frowned and said, "This blood has been dry for a long time. ”

Hu forced around the car and snorted, "This is not Hong Xiangcai's car." ”

"Huh?"

Hu Qiang pointed to the front of the car and said, "We were beaten up in the dead city, and the red bird bore the brunt, and the stone javelin was not less...... Look at this car, there are not even scratches on the hood. After speaking, he yawned and said boredly: "I'm too nervous of you, it's not just Hong Xiangcai who has this car." ”

Tang Garlic and the others suddenly realized, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed that they were all soldiers, and they overreacted a little. So they lifted their guard and returned to the car. Halfway through the walk, he turned around and saw Zheng Nannan still squatting by the car door, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hey, let's go."

Zheng Nannan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately got up and walked over, and when he came to Hu Qi's side, Hu Qi found that his expression became more and more solemn.

"What's wrong?" Hu asked him.

Zheng Nannan didn't seem to know how to speak, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "This car is not only owned by Hong Xiangcai, but there is only one in the Deep Blue Hospital, right?" ”

Hu Qi squinted, guessed what Zheng Nanfang might have discovered, and asked, "You go on." ”

"There's a white coat in the back seat." Zheng Nannan smacked his lips and smiled bitterly: "Is it such a coincidence?" Another person with this car, also a doctor? ”

Hu Qiang was dumbfounded for a long time, and he was also a little confused about this situation, and muttered: "But, didn't you say that the blood has been dry for a long time? ”

"Yes." Zheng Nannan nodded and said, "The blood has been stained for a long time, and as you said, there is no damage to the body." ”

"That? What do you mean? "Hu Qi feels that his brain is a little insufficient.

Zheng Nannan shook his head: "I don't know, I have a very bad feeling." ”

……

"Hey! Let's go! It's getting dark! The first car, Riley, leaned out of the window and shouted at the two.

Zheng Nannan and Hu Qi glanced at each other, didn't say anything more, and walked towards their respective cars.

……

On the outskirts of the dead city, the Dumb Manor squad.

After the ambush in the afternoon, the remnants of the Hoarse Manor did not dare to borrow the dead city again, so they had to choose a more difficult road, and surrounded a large circle from outside the city, until the sun sank in the west, and then returned to the national highway from which they came.

Laili's convoy only gave them one car, and more than a dozen people marched in two groups, first going in one group, arriving somewhere to rest, and then picking up the other group.

I went back and forth all the way, and when I returned to the national highway, the car ran out of gas, and the remaining two hundred miles were unexpectedly only on my legs.

Xiao Zhengtai was surrounded by gunmen in the middle, and the depressed national highway at night, this group of people was a bit of a lonely ghost.

"When is this going?" Xiao Zhengtai's physical fitness was a little unable to keep up, and he staggered.

"Hold on, I saw a lot of abandoned vehicles on the way here, and I can take a look at it when I meet it for a while, maybe there is something that can be used." The spearman comforted.

Xiao Zhengtai sighed, knowing that the gunman was comforting him, but there was nothing he could do.

Nowadays, resources are scarce, and things like cars are easy to find, but accessories and oil are hard to find.

A group of people resisted for more than half an hour, and the scout at the front sent a signal and hurriedly ran back.

"There's a situation ahead." The scout ran sweating profusely and panting, and said to the spearman, "A lot of corpses. ”

The spearman who took the lead turned pale, hurriedly beckoned everyone to be on guard, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"I didn't look closely, it was all on the road. I'm afraid that something will go wrong, so I'll come back and report it first. ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look." The spearman in charge changed the magazine, handed over Xiao Zhengtai to the care of the other gunmen, and brought four or five advance team members to speed away in the direction the scout said.

The sky was completely dark, the moon hid in the clouds and did not dare to show its face, and the wind blew on the national road at night, carrying a strong smell of blood.

What the scout said was true, the distance in front of everyone was more than ten meters, and on the wide road, there were many people lying horizontally, and the flashlight swept away, all dressed in the lower city of the wasteland. Blood pooled into a murmuring stream towards the low-lying area, and the faint smell of gunfire was faintly visible, and it was clear that there had been a terrible battle here.

The spearman beckoned everyone to disperse to examine the corpses, and stepped into the corpses along the edge of the bloodstream, the dim light of the flashlight swept over the scene of the tragedy, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Boss!"

The scout from before let out a quick cry, and the spearman followed the sound, only to see the scout holding something in his hand and shaking it with him.

The distance was too far to see real, and he accidentally stepped into a pool of blood after taking a few steps, his feet were sticky and slippery, and he stumbled unsteadily, and hurriedly reached out to support his body.

This probe happened to be pressed on a corpse, and the tentacles were soft.

Steady up and look, so immortal is pressed on the chest of a female corpse.

The gunman cursed secretly, crying and laughing, and the moment he got up, the flashlight shone on the face of the female corpse.

Laili's face was like white paper, her eyes were wide open, and there was a bloody hole in her eyebrows, like a third eye, staring straight at him.

……

In the middle, the main building of an experimental area.

Meng Chang rushed into the conference room in a hurry, and before he could open his mouth to speak, he was electrocuted by the Mauser guns fired by the security guards on both sides.

When Meng Chang came to his senses, he found that he had been locked in a confinement room, and there was nothing in the whole room except for a bed and a toilet.

"What are you going to do? I'm a member of the Downtown Hive Research Group, so why should I be indiscriminately shut up? Meng Chang had no idea what his situation was, and after a brief loss of consciousness, he roared angrily at the corner monitor.

The surveillance camera signal light flashed, and then an electronically synthesized male voice was heard.

"You're not anymore."

Meng Chang was stunned and said angrily: "Who are you?" I'm going to talk to the head of the expert group! ”

"You've violated the rules of authority, read documents that don't match your own permissions, and you've tried to overstep your level to report to the rules of the lab process, plus trespassing on the executive meeting today...... The assessment team has determined that you are not suitable to continue working in the study group, and that further testing is required for your mental state. ”

The words of the electronic male voice without any emotional fluctuations knocked Meng Chang to the bottom.

Meng Chang sat down on the bed in a daze, his eyes were distracted, and he muttered to himself for a moment, "It's not me who violated the regulations, it's you." ”

"You'll be tested here for 30 days, after which you'll be notified of the results."

The electronic male voice didn't mean to talk to Meng Chang, and after finishing his words mechanically, the signal light flashed again, and there was no movement.

Meng Chang lay down on the bed, his brows furrowed, and repeatedly recalled the blurred photos in the document, as well as the words "rift" with unknown meaning, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

In fact, when he was reviewing the documents, he didn't have any extra thoughts, and only had a brief exchange with the high-clearance researchers out of curiosity.

I didn't think that the other party's reaction was too intense, but it made Meng Chang smell a trace of unusual breath.

The public doesn't know much about the hive, but the researchers know in their hearts that the hive is not a "gift from nature" as officially advertised, but a real "Pandora's box".

Since the appearance of the first hive, tens of thousands of people have died, not to mention the various unconventional upheavals caused by the uncertainty of various hives.

The honeycomb alone is so terrifying, not to mention the rift known as the "Hive Trench".

What Meng Chang didn't understand in particular was that the document was obviously handed over from below, but somehow it stayed in the high-authority research group and then disappeared.

Such a major matter was not reported to the head office?

You know, the company attaches so much importance to the hive, if there is one, if it can be destroyed, it will be destroyed, and if it can't be destroyed, it will be studied in depth and then blocked.

But the immeasurable "crack" has become a fish that slipped through the net.

Think of the reaction of those members of the study group, and what happened in the room today...... Meng Chang was not stupid, he knew that he should have touched Lei Chi.

Frankly speaking, although he was curious, Meng Chang was more desperate for his life, and he was more worried about his situation now. Once the assessment team determines that he has become some kind of hidden danger, the only thing that awaits him is to erase him.

Meng Chang hugged his head in pain, pressed his knees hard, and almost squeezed out his voice from his throat: "I don't want to die...... Help me......"
