Chapter Twenty-Seven: Unearthing the Secret

In the vast snow, the smoke curls and the aroma is overflowing. Wei Yi and the others were busy for most of the day, and finally made a lunch.

Wei Yi smelled the fragrant food, and couldn't help but move his index finger, reached out and grabbed a freshly roasted chicken thigh, and gnawed it clean. Li Xiaohui saw him gobbling up his eating appearance on the side, and covered her mouth and chuckled.

She carefully tore off a piece of chicken with her hand, pinched it and put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly. Even when she was hungry, she still paid great attention to her manners. changed the appearance of eating with Wei Yi and others for the first time.

She secretly glanced at Wei Yu from time to time. The man's boldness was almost the same as before. She really wanted to eat like that. But the thoughts of the youngest daughter's family made her suppress the restlessness in her heart, maintaining the image of a lady on the outside, hoping to attract the man in front of her.

The hateful thing is that he is obviously in front of him, and he is unmoved, as if the food on the plate is the most beautiful thing in the world. Li Xiaohui glared at Wei Yi hatefully. Wei Yi happened to look up and was stared at.

He was stunned, looked at Li Xiaohui inexplicably, and blinked. Li Xiaohui "snorted" and teased: "Look at your eating appearance, it's really ugly, as if you've been hungry for a long time." Ugly to death. ”

Wei Yi rolled his eyes, chewing in his mouth and retorting vaguely: "What is ugly? The first time I saw you, I was shocked by your horrible appearance! This will talk about me again. Didn't you say you're hungry? Why do you still eat slowly? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all! ”

When Li Xiaohui heard this, where could she still care about maintaining the image of a lady. She snatched a plate of barbecue meat that Wei Yi had just grabbed, and stuffed her mouth three times by two, and in an instant, the ladylike image she had tried so hard to maintain was completely gone.

Wei Yi smiled lightly, didn't care, picked up another plate casually, and continued to eat with relish. The two of them ate happily for a while. Occasionally, they will grab each other, but they will also have fun.

Wei Yi had almost eaten in just a few moments. Many gnawed bones were casually thrown into the tray in front of him. "Goo-dong, goo-dong," he took a few sips and drank a large glass of freshly heated milk.

"Well, I can't eat now." He wiped his milk-stained mouth with his hand, patted his bulging belly again, and burped a few times in satisfaction.

Li Xiaohui finished nibbling on the last chicken leg in her hand, and carefully stacked the leftover bones neatly in the tray in front of her. She took a soft towel, covered her hands, carefully picked up the hot milk in front of her, took a sip, and tasted it carefully. In that way, it is very much like a noble lady drinking a glass of aged Lafite, dignified, elegant and with great taste. In an instant, the dignified lady returned.

Wei Yi saw that she began to pretend to be a lady again, and was surprised and felt very similar. But because of the situation, it was difficult to show it, so I had to look forward to it left and right.

Around them were more than a dozen feet of snow. Numerous plants are clearly lying under the snow fault that has been plowed out by the snow shovel racks of off-road vehicles. There was a clump of plants with a dark green color, which caught his attention.

He stepped out of his chair and walked there in a few steps, crouching down and carefully cutting through the wall-like snow with his hands, and examining it carefully. Li Xiaohui looked curious, hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of hot milk, and asked, "What did you find?" So careful. ”

"This thing is a little familiar, it's okay, you eat yours. I'm idle. Take a look around. Wei Yi stared at the dark green plants that were gradually revealed, and returned casually.

Li Xiaohui's curiosity was aroused, where can she continue to pretend to be a lady. She drank the remaining milk from the glass in a few sips, took the towel and hurriedly wiped her mouth, and quickly cleaned it up. After a while, she cleaned up everything outside the car. The garbage was also sorted into several pockets and thrown into the trunk.

She was all set, raised her legs and trotted towards the place where Wei Wei was. Curious, she asked, "Well, what are you looking at?" Let me see. ”

"Come and have a look." Wei Yi turned around and beckoned to her, and said a little anxiously, "Do you see if this thing looks familiar?" ”

Li Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, hurriedly ran over a few steps, looked in the direction pointed by Wei Yi, and was surprised: "This, how can this thing be here?" ”

I saw that in the snow, a set of broken search and rescue team uniforms and a few packages were messily entangled by a few vines. Wei Yi pulled out his dagger and flicked the motionless vines.

Perhaps because the weather was too cold, it took a few moments for the vines to react. Like hibernating snakes, they slowly writhed for a while, loosening the tangled wraps and pieces of clothing.

Wei Yi and Li Xiaohui glanced at each other, and cut the vines together with a tacit understanding, and took out the parcels and clothes fragments from the vines. The severed vines, like snakes with severed bodies, writhed incessantly on the ground, making a very slight hoarse sound.

"Let's go, let's go back to the car first." When Wei Yi heard the voice, a faint uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, and he pulled Li Xiaohui and ran to the side of the off-road vehicle without saying a word.

"Wait." Li Xiaohui broke away from Wei Yi's hand, hurriedly opened the package, and looked through it.

She pulled out a paper-thin laptop from her bag, opened it, and exclaimed, "No, this is someone who was sent out not long ago." ”

Wei Yi asked puzzledly, "A few days ago?" When? How do you know for sure? ”

Li Xiaohui pointed to a file displayed on the screen and said, "Look, there is the latest search record here. ”

Wei Yi frowned, looked around, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He picked up Li Xiaohui, carried the package, and hurriedly got into the car.

"Get out of here first, quickly, I have a bad premonition." He urged anxiously and started the car first.

Li Xiaohui glanced outside the car and didn't notice anything unusual. But Wei Yi couldn't stop urging her, and she had to drive away quickly.

Shortly after they left, the snow layer suddenly cracked, and many vines emerged from the snow and converged on the severed vines. The white snow suddenly turned into a sea of green, and it continued to expand.

At this time, Wei Yi sat in the passenger seat and looked at the latest search records recorded in his notebook seriously:

"November 27, 2106. We found traces of the activity of the bloodthirsty vine on the north bank of the Huai River. The team leader decided to bypass the area. It was very cold, and every day I walked in the thick snow, my clothes and shoes were wet. I really want to go back to the fire. ”

November 28, 2106. Two people died. Something seemed lurking in the snow. We took a detour to the old site of Huainan City. The atmosphere was a bit dreary.

The two men joked with me last night, 'When you go back, you have to ask for a daughter-in-law first, and then you die.' Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, the people were gone.

I think it's the team leader's fault. He shouldn't have let the team scatter the search. ”

"November 29, 2106. Today I arrived in Huainan City. It's hard to imagine a city with a population of tens of millions that could be in ruins overnight. Everywhere there are abandoned materials by people. I saw something in a collapsed house that made me feel sad. A mother held her child in her arms, and her whole body was deformed by the collapse of the roof, but she still protected the child very well. It's just that the child has starved to death. I hate why we couldn't have come sooner. ”

"November 30, 2106. Last night someone in the team offered to return to the camp to recuperate. The group leader refused. I heard that the man ran away that night. This morning, when the team leader gave a lecture, he once again emphasized our mission. We've got to get all the information we need to get rid of that damn monster before spring comes. ”

December 5, 2106. Something terrible happened. I saw something that made me unbelievable. There is a problem with this group leader. I had to report what I saw to my superiors before he killed us. Damn, he destroyed all the communication equipment. Hopefully what I've written down will be seen.

A few days ago, I woke up at night with urine, and when I got up to go to the bathroom, I heard strange noises. Out of curiosity, I followed the sound and touched it. Oh my God, the team leader, he's talking to that monster. I'm going crazy. Isn't this man who has repeatedly emphasized that we have an important mission, who has been fighting on the front line, the most loyal?

I think they must have found me. I heard the group leader promise something to that thing, but I was too panicked to write anything down.

I was terrified, I was going to say it to other people. But the team leader started the next day and let everyone disperse, saying that it was for safety and that they could flee for their lives in case of something. Hell with him. He must have wanted to get rid of me quietly. I have to get out of here. I thought of the man who had escaped, and he must have found something.

I had to leave. If I didn't write any more records after that, it must be because I'm dead. ”

When the record was here, it stopped abruptly and there was no follow-up. Wei Yu closed the notebook and fell into deep thought.

Li Xiaohui drove cautiously, but since she found those few packages and pieces of clothes, she was a little absent-minded. Wei Yi suddenly turned to her and asked abruptly, "Is this team that your cousin was looking for before?" ”

Li Xiaohui didn't react for a while, and subconsciously asked, "What?" What happened to my cousin? ”

Wei Yi said again: "I mean, your cousin and you, did you come out before looking for this team?" ”

Li Xiaohui realized at this time, shook her head and denied: "Why do you think so? We all have our own tasks. We did, however, receive an ad hoc order to search for a missing team. But I don't know if it's the one you said. ”

"Let's go to the place where I used to live."

"Which? The one where Brother Shen and Xiaoman lived before? ”

"Yes, go there first, get there, you look at these things first."

Li Xiaohui nodded, turned around, and drove towards the place where the Shen family's father and daughter originally lived.
