Chapter 183: Away from home with friends

After some narration by the bar owner, the two got two important pieces of information.

For one, Vice Captain Eric had been investigating a man with a cross-shaped scar on the back of his neck before his disappearance, which, according to the bar owner, was the leader of the Marauders who attacked Seng. The second is that after drinking too much that day, Eric did not stop in the town of Senklong for more, but drove directly to the desert area.

The last location left by the hovercar was in the town of Senglong, that is, before heading to the desert area, Eric artificially turned off the hover's positioning system.

These two points are both suspicious and explain the reason for Eric's disappearance.

The bar owner really thought of them as if they were Eric's colleagues, and told him everything he could think of, and at the moment, he was just an old man who was anxious about the disappearance of his adopted son.

Lu Xiang sighed lightly, she could understand the boss's mood at the moment, he was just a simple townsman who had lived in Jianlong Town for most of his life.

But......

"Have you ever thought about one thing?"

She spoke, "If we were that man's subordinate who was sent to deal with the aftermath, and you're dead now, I'm afraid not only you, but everyone in Senk Long Town would be implicated." ”

This time, they were lucky enough.

If the other party is one step ahead of them, they will be greeted by a pile of corpses at this moment, and all the clues about Eric will stop here.

"Walking on the Stars"

The bar owner froze, looking at the two of them with some trepidation.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just trying to tell you one thing, and whoever comes here and what they say to you, don't mention it to them."

Most of the story of the bar owner is enough to kill him.

"That Eric ......"

"We'll help you find him as much as we can."

"Thank you, thank you!"

………………………………

After coming out of the bar, Lu Xiang was in a heavy mood.

Not only because of Eric's experience and ending, but also because she made a promise to the bar owner that was almost impossible to keep.

Seeing the boss tearfully watching them go away at the door, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Captain Eric's fate is already doomed, and even if he finally finds the location of the accident, he may not be able to bring people back to Sengago Town alive.

He took the initiative to cut off the location of the hovercar before leaving Senglong Town, and disappeared in the desert area for nearly a week, even if he left a clue at that time, it had already been completely buried by the sand, which was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The only way Lu Xiang could think of was to go the other way, find the target of Vice-Captain Eric before his disappearance through the characteristics of the cross-shaped scar, and then ask the other party about Erik's whereabouts.

"The rewritten surveillance video is very likely related to the person with a cross-shaped scar on the back of his neck, Eric should have found something in the video, in the extermination, but if the person in the video is so important to him, then he will definitely try to keep a backup."

As long as you find the footage that Eric has backed up privately, you can know what happened on the day the leader of the Twelfth Nation disappeared.

"It's all here, let's find Eric first, such an important thing, he may take it directly with him."

Song Lan put forward a different opinion.

"Find Eric?"

Lu Xiang blinked, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"If it is a convoy, I am afraid it will be more difficult to find, but fortunately, the hovering car he is riding in is very rare in the desert area, and if you ask the locals a little, you may be able to find the location of the incident."

Asking the locals is indeed a common method of investigation.

But the locals in the desert area ......

Lu Xiang suddenly thought of something, looking at Song Lan's eyes full of shock, she really couldn't imagine how the other party's thinking was so broad.

A quarter of an hour later, the Grim Reaper crab poking its head out of the sand confirmed her suspicions.

She had to admit that Song Lan's utilization rate of mutant creatures had reached an unbelievable level, not only calling on them to fight together, but now even investigating the missing people came to find them.

After Lu Xiang saw that Song Lan had an incomprehensible exchange with the Death Crab, the Death Crab came out of the sand and half of its body.

"Great, it said that it had seen Captain Eric's hovercar and could take us there, and the mutated critters in the desert area are really hospitable."

As she spoke, Song Lan had already climbed up first, followed by Lu Xiang, who sat on the carapace of the Death Crab with her knees crossed.

She had heard many descriptions of the Grim Reaper Crabs, and had never thought that the word "hospitality" could be applied to them.

It feels like sitting on a hard bed, and it's probably a little hot to sit on now because it was just out of the sand.

However, the Reaper Crab had already taken the initiative to serve as a free means of transportation, and she was too embarrassed to suggest improving the temperature of the carapace.

It's free and often can't be too demanding.

"How did you come up with the idea of asking them to help?"

"Haven't you heard the old saying? When you go out and rely on friends, everyone is buddies, and you should help each other when you encounter difficulties. ”

"But how are you going to help them?"

"I told them my home address and contact information, so that if they encounter problems in the future, they can come to me, I can definitely help."

"You ......"

Lu Xiang was completely speechless.

With the size of the Death Crab, if you really come to District 17 to play with Song Lan, it will be tantamount to a mutant monster invasion, and I don't know how many citizens can be stunned along the way.

Song Lan seemed to see Lu Xiang's worry, "Don't worry, we have a special way of communication, which is similar to the radio communication password, they can contact me directly in front of them when they are almost there, and I will go out to find them directly when the time comes." ”

He felt that not many people had studied the Death Crab before him, and it turned out that these mutated creatures also had different levels of psionic power.

Psionic energy can be used not only to fight and kill, but also to use it as a telephone.

During the conversation, the Grim Reaper Crab had already carried them to the scene of the incident, and looking around, there was an endless desert, and after deviating from the lane, they no longer knew where they were, and it was almost impossible to find Eric and his hovercar without the help of the local "enthusiastic residents".

People and cars were flooded by the wind and sand.

Song Lan communicated with the Death Crab for a moment in a way that Lu Xiang couldn't understand, then it leaned over and put them down, and then burrowed into the ground.

About a minute later, the wreckage of a burned-out hovercar and a highly dried corpse were dragged out of the ground by the Grim Reaper Crab.

The clothes on the corpse's body were only torn strips of cloth, and many bones on his body were broken, and his original appearance could not be seen at all.

"It's a minigun."

After Lu Xiang bent down to examine the corpse, he quickly came to a conclusion.

The most severely injured part was in the chest, and from the point of view of the break, the bullet was struck diagonally above Eric's head.

She seemed to have an idea of what was going on.

That night, Eric for some reason landed the hovercar here, and he got out of the car and stood not far from the hovercar.

A short time later, a helicopter gunship equipped with a minigun appeared, and before Eric could make any evasions, the minigun directly knocked him into a sieve.

Before leaving, the other side also destroyed the hovercar with anti-materiel weapons.

"The question is, who called Eric here?"
