Chapter 318: Half a Footprint

readx;

In Tang Ji's mind, some completely dark memories flickered, there was no light, but there was a sound, and a slight jolt could be felt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Don Guy and Robbie were taken to Hillary's hideout, they were hit by a tranquilizer bullet and were completely unconscious, but on the way back, he and Robbie were only blindfolded, and Don Guy could clearly feel the big and small bumps encountered by the predators in the drive, steering, slowing down, and accelerating.

When people are blindfolded, they will subconsciously improve the use of hearing, smell and even sensation, at that time, Tang Ji could not use the eyes of the main organ of the human eye to collect information, and the people in the car have not spoken, so he can be said to be particularly focused on consciousness.

At that time, he did not actively collect all kinds of information from the outside world, but this information still passively entered his mind.

After recalling for a while with his eyes closed, Don Guy slowly opened his eyes and looked at the map, pressing his finger on the road in front of Mount Olive Mall on the map, saying that it was a road, but in fact, on the map, it was just a line.

Tang Ji pressed his hand on the line and began to move slowly, but it didn't take long for his brows to furrow deeply, he ignored one thing, he couldn't estimate the speed of Paramount's Marauders, this was very difficult to feel, Paramount's stability was too good, as long as he turned a wrong corner, it would be wrong in the back, and he couldn't find Hillary's hiding place according to this method.

In fact, the best way now is for Robbie to drive out with the blindfolded Tanji, using Mount Olivie's mall as a guide, and Tanji will guide the way through his senses, which will feel the most intuitive, and it will definitely be easier than looking at the map to find the location.

But...... No one can guarantee success at the first time, there are too many roads, and if they do, they will all be wrong, and if they do, the two may not know how long it will take to find Hillary's hiding place, and they may be disturbed by zombies at any time.

Night, silent again.

Tang Ji was lying in the northwest corner of the living room, next to Monica, who had been unconscious after the operation, he was huddled alone in the blanket, completely covering his body, and the flashlight was lit in the blanket, he was still looking at the map, and his mind was full of horizontal and vertical lines.

Maniela was lying on the other side of Tanji, with one hand on the baby**, already asleep.

The hazy moonlight shone through the dirty window into the living room of the villa, and the living room was dim, Robbie stood by the window and looked out silently, and the living room was silent.

After a long time, Don Ji turned off the flashlight, climbed out of the blanket, and walked towards Robbie.

"Haven't found it yet?" Robbie asked in a low voice looking at Don Quixy's haggard face.

Tang Ji raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, shaking his head.

"Go and rest! I'm watching! Don Ji looked up and patted Robbie on the shoulder, leaned over the dirty window and looked out, and said.

"It's still early, let's talk!" Robbie glanced at his watch and shook his head at Don Guy.

"What are you talking about?" Tang Ji asked.

"What do you think about that incident in the morning? Why did Apache find us directly? Why do you start attacking without asking? Robbie asked, these questions he knew Donji must have thought about, but none of them were brought up that day.

"You suspect Hillary?" Tang Ji glanced at Robbie, looked out the window and whispered.

"I have to doubt her." Robbie responded.

"Actually, no matter how you look at it, this matter has something to do with Hillary, and I am also responsible, I shouldn't have brought her back, she was there with us, and the other party had a reason to attack us directly, as for ...... There are too many possibilities for how the other party found out. ”

"For example, their ground forces didn't all go into the underground parking lot, they hid after the Apache left, and they kept watching us, or the traces of the car, they might have experts in this area, we don't have any secret locations here, the wall we built is the best indicator, it's easy to spot us."

"One thing is for sure, they are sure that Hillary is not in the villa, she has left, so they will attack directly, perhaps, they treat us here as a safe house belonging to Hillary, and treat us as part of Hillary's remnants."

Tang Ji suddenly fell silent, looked at the dirty glass, and said in a low voice after a while: "Hillary will not let me die!" ”

Tang Ji was explaining to Robbie that it couldn't be Hillary ** him, and the attitude of Apache when he arrived was clearly to destroy the place, and directly fired a rocket to destroy the villa, killing as many people as possible.

Don Guy has that confidence, and Hillary can't hurt him.

As the night deepened, Robbie didn't speak again, accompanied Don Ji to look at the night outside, and soon raised his hand to pat Don Ji on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Don Quixy kept vigil until two o'clock in the second half of the night before he woke up Jason and went back to sleep in the corner.

Eight o'clock in the morning the next day.

Don Guy sat on the sofa and still looked at the map, the heavy dark circles under his eyes showed that he didn't sleep well last night, his mind was full of routes, he wanted to find Hillary's hiding place, but he was not a god, nor was he an amnesiac person who could remember any detail very clearly, that evening car drove for a long time, walked too much, he tried to push out Hillary's hiding place through the map backwards, but so far, he has not succeeded.

"How's that dear?" Maniela walked over to Don Guy and walked down, hugged Don Guy's neck and kissed him on the face, turned her head to look at the map and asked.

"No, there are too many roads!" Tang Ji shook his head and said in a low voice.

"How long are we going to stay here?" Jon, who was sitting on the sofa opposite Tang Ji, suddenly looked up and asked, his expression very serious.

"One day, I'll go out in the afternoon to look for the car, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning, whether or not we can find out where Hillary is located." Tang Ji looked up at Qiang En Dao, he knew that Qiang En was very worried, zombies are the biggest enemy, there is no protection ability here, although Tang Ji has the ability to lure away zombies, but if there is no strong house to temporarily block the zombies, there is no buffer time, Tang Ji is simply impossible to lure away the zombies before the zombies cause harm to everyone.

"You'd better hurry, it's not safe here!" Jon said in a deep voice, then stood up and walked to Kellyti, who was sitting on the steps at the top of the stairs with Jason, hanging her head and listening to Jason talk to her.

Don Ji kept his eyes on Qiang, he knew that Qiang'en had resentment in his heart, in fact, it was not only Qiang, most of the people here had it in their hearts, if it wasn't for Don Guy who brought Hillary to the lake villa, there would not have been the disaster the day before, this is an indelible fact, and Don Guy's responsibility is unshirkable.

Don Guy doesn't know how to comfort these people, if it's just an apology, it's too pale, people can't be resurrected after death, and apologies can't resurrect the dead, so Don Guy must find Hillary, find out the truth as much as possible, and ...... Revenge!

Jon didn't stop until he walked to Kellyti's side, sat down next to Kellyti, and reached out to stop Kellyti's shoulder, and Don Guy kept watching, until this moment he withdrew his gaze and looked down at the map.

Suddenly!

Tang Ji raised his head again and looked at John, no, to be precise, he looked at the ground at John's feet, because Jason and Kelly were sitting at the top of the stairs, and if the tall and strong Johnn wanted to sit next to Callity, he had to go around to the side.

Only part of the living room of this villa has been cleaned, and the rest of the room is gray and dusty, and when Qiang En just made a detour, half of his foot stepped on the uncleaned ground, leaving half a footprint in the dust.

It was this half of the footprints that deeply attracted Tang Ji, Tang Ji's logical thinking ability has always been very strong, and his thinking seemed to be opened all at once because of this half of the footprints.

"Aven! Evan come here! Tang Ji turned his head abruptly and shouted in a voice that was neither high nor low.

Aven, who was talking to Hanni, who was depressed, raised his head, looked at Tang Ji, bowed his head and said something to Hanny, and then got up and walked towards Tang Ji.

"What's wrong?" Ai Wen said with a look in his eyes, his left shoulder still wrapped in gauze, and his arm drooped slightly.

"Did you bring your computer?" Tang Ji looked at Ai Wen who was walking towards him and asked eagerly.

"There are only two laptops left, and some hard drives, all in that bag, do you want to use them?" Evan replied by pointing to his backpack that had been dropped on the couch.

Aven came to have more than a dozen laptops, each of which had a different purpose, but under an attack, only two were left that could be used, and after coming to this temporary hiding villa, Aven had never used a computer, because of the limited electricity, he could not use it casually.

"What about computers other than computers? What else did you bring, did you bring the scanner? Tang Ji asked again.

Evan nodded, paused, and said, "Portable scanners, portable printers, pinhole cameras...... I brought a lot of stuff with me. "The things that Evan said are not very large, and they take up a small space in his bag, so he can carry them.

In the lake villa, Ai Wen's personal belongings are the most, and if he really takes them all, it may fill a car, and he can't take them all, so he can only take some small things with him.

"Bring them all, come and help me!" Tang Ji beckoned to Aven, then turned his head to look at Maniela beside him and said, "Find me paper and pen!" ”

Soon, Evan took the computer and sat down next to Don Kei, and turned it on, and Maniela handed him the paper and pen he had found, and Don Kee took the pen, closed his eyes, and began to draw on the white paper, drawing a road map of his hiding place from Hillary back to Mount Olive.

Straight lines, curves, turns, U-turns...... The road map drawn by Tang Ji on the paper was very messy, like a child's random graffiti, and it took two minutes for Tang Ji to stop his pen and open his eyes, look at the line he drew on the paper, frowned dissatisfied, he turned the white paper to the back again, closed his eyes again and spent it together.

This time, he drew very slowly, slowly, and it took about five minutes before he stopped his pen, shook his sore fingers, and opened his eyes.

"That's it, scan it to the computer!" Tang Ji handed the paper of his finger to Aven.

Evan didn't speak, squared the piece of paper on the coffee table in front of him, and then pressed the scanner to the top of the paper, slowly pulling it down and swiping across it.

The scanner was a long strip the size of a magnified melodica, and as the scanner slid down on the white paper, the roadmap that Tang Ji still had on paper gradually appeared on Aven's computer.

"And then?" After storing the scanned pattern, Evan turned to look at Tang Ji and asked.

"Do you have a detailed map of New Jersey here?" Tang Ji asked.

"On the hard drive!" Evan responded, turned around and picked up his backpack again, rummaged through it, took out the hard drive, and connected it to the laptop.

Just as Evan was importing the map from the hard drive into his laptop, Tang Ji spoke again.

"I don't know, can you extract all the roads from the map? Is it okay to remove the background of buildings, forests, etc., as long as roads, including streets, roads, paths, roads, tunnels, etc.? Tang Ji asked.

Evan nodded, looked at Tang Ji and asked, "And then?" ”

"Then make a comparison, just like in the movie, Jing Cha can compare fingerprints and footprints when collecting evidence, and we can also take the route composed of those roads as a messy pattern composed of countless footprints, and what I draw is also a 'footprint', you use the computer to scan it and find out the route that matches it, you understand what I mean, right?" Tang Ji looked at Aven and said while gesturing with his hand.

"Of course, just like comparing fingerprints, if you draw the right picture, there will always be a route that is the same as what you draw." Ai Wen lifted his glasses and said, what Tang Ji said is not advanced technology, many smartphones carry fingerprint comparison recognition software, not to mention Ai Wen's computer.

"That's it!" Evan glanced at the computer, turned his head as he spoke, and began to work on the computer.

The map has been transmitted, and Evan intercepts the map with Mount Oliver as the center, within a radius of 100 kilometers, and clicks the mouse in the software, the map is completely turned white by the background, and only the route remains.

Evan brought up the map drawn by Tang Ji again, and laid it on the computer screen opposite to the left and right of the map, Evan clicked the mouse a few more times, and then raised his hand and hit the enter key.

A red line swept over the map drawn by Tang Ji on the screen, and a green line swept over the map with no background and only routes, five times in a row, Ai Wen stopped the scanning, turned his head to look at Tang Ji and shook his head, and said: "No, you didn't draw accurately, and they didn't necessarily go to the road, there may be grassland, there may be forest." ”

"I'll think again!" Tang Ji leaned back on the sofa, covered his forehead with one hand, and looked at the ceiling and said.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Evan glanced at Tang Ji and turned his head to lean over again, his fingers flicking quickly across the keyboard.

"There it is!" Ai Wen stopped his impressed fingers, and after about two or three seconds, he was still looking at the computer, and suddenly said: "I made a fuzzy comparison, and there are a total of seventeen routes that match the routes you draw, with the lowest fuzzy agreement being 57 percent and the highest being 81 percent. ”

After speaking, Evan sat up straight and raised his hand to move the computer, so that the computer screen was facing Tang Ji.

Tang Ji looked at the screen, and there were seventeen different routes on the map on the screen, all of which were in Mount Olivie's city, but the end point was in all directions of Mount Olivie, the farthest straight line distance might be forty kilometers, and the closest one was twenty kilometers, Tang Ji looked at it for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Ai Wen and said, "Can you be more accurate?" Seventeen is too many. ”

If it's two or three, it's okay to say, even if Tang Ji tries one by one, it's no problem, seventeen different routes are indeed too many, adding up to hundreds of kilometers of roads, not to mention other problems, just the problem of fuel, so that Tang Ji can't drive one by one to try.

"No, if Jing is more accurate, your map will not match the route above at all, you can see that they drove you back a lot of detours, and you didn't draw the length of these roads accurately, if Jing is more accurate, the length of your road is wrong, and the whole area is wrong, so ...... That's all there is to it! Ai Wen spread his hands and said, indicating that there was no way.

"God!" Tang Ji muttered, raised his hand to cover his forehead, leaned back on the couch again, and looked up at the cobwebbed ceiling.

"Actually, it's already certain that there is a road here that leads to Hillary's place, but we don't know which road is the right one now, have you ever seen any landscapes or buildings that can be used as coordinates?" Evan asked.

"The windows are all dirty, you can see trees and fences outside, they won't let me out, I can't see any useful ...... at all" Don Ji said in a calm tone as he looked at the ceiling, suddenly stopped, and then sat up straight.

"Smack!"

"Lighthouse!" Tang Ji looked at Evan and snapped his fingers.

Don Guy still remembers that just as she went to visit Hillary and left Hillary's room for the first time, after a confrontation with Ban in the hallway, the two sat in their chairs without saying a word, but Ben's walkie-talkie suddenly rang, and his subordinates reported that there seemed to be something going on at the lighthouse.

Lighthouse, although Don Ji has never seen it, he can completely feel from the conversation between Ban and his subordinates that there is a lighthouse near Hillary's hideout!

The lighthouse was used to guide the way for the ships returning to port a few decades ago, but with the passage of several decades, the technology has become more and more developed, and the lighthouse has gradually lost its original role, but it is not without value, many famous lighthouses are tourist attractions, and they are witnesses of history.

There are many large and small lakes in the northwest of New Jersey, and there are many rivers, and it is very unrealistic to simply try to find Hillary Clinton through the lighthouse, but if you put it together with the seventeen routes that have been compared, the two conditions seem to be easy to find Hillary's hideout.

"Okay...... Lighthouse ......" Evan replied, moved the computer back, and after tapping on it, pressed the enter key with a snap.

On the map on the screen, the background of the original map quickly emerged, and then more than a dozen yellow arrow markers lit up all over the map, and the locations pointed by those arrows were all locations with lighthouses.

"Here, the light blue SE route, which ends in the town of Montago in the northwest, where the Rathua River flows a kilometer north of the town of Montago, where there is a lighthouse!" Ai Wen moved the computer again, pointing to the computer screen and said to Tang Ji. (To be continued.) )
