Chapter 129: A full-scale search
Grand Leader Abel has done a brilliant feat of heroic salvation. He ran over and lifted Mary from the floor, who was almost paralyzed with fright. She was still wearing the white gauze dress she wore on the day of the wedding, except for the fact that the gauze skirt was torn by Archie and there were a few minor scratches on her back, but Mary was unharmed.
These men of Abel stood in a daze at the door of the old hobbit's office, not yet recovering from the great reversal. What a gap between the horror and panic of entering the elder's office without permission at the beginning, to the discovery that Archie fled in fear even more than them!
What's more, no one thought that this sneaky action turned out to be just!
The Grand Leader of Abel turned his head and yelled at them, "What are you doing in a daze? According to your sacred duty, the murderer will be hunted down on the moon at once! Search every corner! ”
The short film of Mary's rescue, which was quickly broadcast on the Moon News, completely revealed the true face of Archie. Archie is a big bird, not a big elder. Although these two words sound similar to each other, and those behind the ears sound like twin brothers, they have very different meanings. One is a god and the other is a fowl. Obediently, it is still two words with similar pronunciation, and people with big tongues almost pronounce it into one.
Abel speaks eloquently on the talk show, plunging the residents sitting in front of the big screen into a dangerous and exciting imagination.
The old metal door lock, the tattered wedding dress, the tear-stained Mary, and the memories of a staff member of the Armed Forces Department who participated in the rescue operation all appeared on the show, and although no one saw Archie again, they all believed it.
In the news, Abel asked all the residents of the moon to pay close attention to Archie's movements, and to report to the Lunar Weapons Department in a timely manner if they find out.
It is a mutated and dangerous creature with sharp claws, leaps several meters, is hot-tempered, bloodthirsty, and feeds on people...... In a news episode that first aired, the description of Archie escalated with each passing day, and the residents' fears escalated with each passing day.
Archie stood on the elevated frame of the 130-meter-high lunar peripheral control line located in the Moon Flower District, looking at the central square of the Flower District, where almost no people walked at his feet, and thinking about his next step.
It was clear that Archie was still too immature in dealing with unexpected situations, and in an instant he put himself at a great disadvantage.
If Abel had led someone in, he would have asked sternly, "What are you going to do?" "Maybe it's the other way around. Between two people who are also empty in their hearts, lust and inwardness sometimes work.
And his act of escaping has already made himself self-defeating.
Archie didn't know where he was hiding now, where Yelu Zhousheng and Hejing had come up to check the route during Operation Ice Capture. The lights of the seven cells that used to shine in different colors are now out, and they are covered with a layer of dust.
He lay in the aisle leaning on the railing of the platform, and the platform only made a slight shaking, and a wisp of dust drifted down and disappeared into the gray space. Most of the lunar rovers are out of motion, and the wind sweep hasn't been visited for a long time.
Now, this is where he lives. At a distance of 130 meters, it looks lifeless from the bottom, and most people would not think that he is here.
After the moon rose again, all the external facilities of the moon were paralyzed due to the loss of power, and this place has long been abandoned. At the same time, in order to save energy, Archie has ordered most of the lighting above the flower district square to be turned off during his tenure as Grand Chief. Under the huge vault, it looks unnoticeable here.
The streets below were constantly being driven by patrol cars from the Lunar Weapons Department, and Archie knew it was all coming for him. He thought of the big desk, the big monitor, the big bed, the big mock window...... Can Abel be lenient with himself?
If possible, Archie would rather go back to the old days when there was nothing to do, no earth, no mining vehicles, and no ice capture. He lay there, thinking of Elder Hobbit for the first time, and everyone in this world would abandon him, but Hobbit wouldn't.
When it's time to eat, there will be no more automatic whale jerky, and there will be no more of him. He endured the hollowness in his abdomen, waiting for the moon's night to come, when most of the moon's lights would be extinguished, and he could sneak into the homes of the residents of the flower district to see if anyone had indigestion and left him half a piece of jerky.
The part above his waist is still normal, but he is already a chicken below his waist, and he can think like an angel and act like a chicken in the future.
When it was quiet, Archie quietly climbed down the elevated highway, following the shadows of hidden buildings, street signs, deactivated energy supply stations, garbage cans, to the residential areas of the moon, but all the doors were shut.
The joy in Abel's heart was not only about Mary's rescue, but also about it. What's more, there is nothing too old on the moon anymore. When his men offered him to sit in the only old chair on the moon, Able flatly refused.
From then on, there was no big elder on the moon, only a big leader. His main energy is not to enjoy status, but to hunt down Archie.
The day had passed, and he had not yet gained anything, and the operation was almost the same as the search for Mary, and he had searched everywhere and found nothing. But now that Abel has the supreme right to mobilize all the resources on the moon, I don't believe that he can hide anywhere, and it is only a matter of time before he is brought to justice.
At 23:00, the Grand Leader suddenly received a report that the patrol had found Archie's trace under an abandoned facility in the Moon Flower District! Able was already lying down, and he jumped to his feet and rushed to the scene with his men hugging him and hugging him.
At the entrance to the tall steel frame, Able saw a large cloud of falling dust clearly marked with the paw prints of several birds. The area has been kept under control and no residents are allowed to approach, though there will be no residents at any time.
Abel ordered, "Go up and take a look, and if you find it, you will be killed!" ”
The two men crept up cautiously and searched every cell on the steel frame, where an even more diffuse cloud of dust descended from the top and enveloped the group below. Able stood in the dust, looking up at the two men crawling backwards down, he didn't have to ask to know that Archie wasn't there.
Abel, "Watch from afar, sweep up the traces of our visit." ”
One of his men asked, "What if he comes back?" ”
Grand Chief, "Prepare the big metal lock on the hobbit door, and you will lock the exit when he goes up" The Great Leader went back, and it would be nice to imprison him on it.
