Chapter 614: White Pickup

At the end of the afternoon patrol, the people who were looking for the Golden Tooth Wu Chengming finally found me, but they only asked me if I knew where Wu Chengming went.

Listening to the tone, they seemed to think that Wu Chengming and they went somewhere else after making an appointment with me, and I wasn't sure if it was Tumu disturbing their vision, so I decided to play stupid, shook my head and said I didn't know.

The visitor didn't ask much, it seemed that he just asked casually, and didn't treat me as a suspect.

When the others left, Xu Silin let out a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said that he was almost so nervous that he had a myocardial infarction.

It wasn't until three days after this incident that no one came to the door, and Xu Silin and Yu Liangxuan completely believed that I was safe.

Wu Chengming's cousin-in-law's investigation direction was obviously misled, and I became an insignificant little person in this incident.

According to my guess, that cousin-in-law must have complicated things, Wu Chengming had so many secrets on his back, and all the members of the team were missing, and he took it for granted that there would be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

And I just came to Safe Harbor City, I have no roots, no background, and nothing to do with their interests, so my appearance is just a small episode before Wu Chengming's disappearance.

Wu Chengming and they often do shady things in the suburban warehouses, and my cousin-in-law's people will definitely go over to check on them, so I speculate that someone disposed of the body before they rushed there.

Even the clothes and weapons I sold to the bazaar are untraceable, there are only a few of us in the know, the owner of the snack bar definitely didn't betray me, and these boys around me are even more ready to be killed and don't say anything, the only one who doesn't mind telling the truth is myself.

But I also chose to play dumb, so the matter gradually faded away, and the other team members never mentioned them again.

More than a month passed before I knew it, and I went out of the city and drove more than 100 kilometers to hunt a few mutant pigs.

The car I drove wasn't suitable for hunting, so I borrowed the snack bar owner's old pickup truck.

Although the truck is dilapidated, the boss takes great care of it, and it drives better than I thought, and only once the fire was turned off on the road, and the tire burst once.

When he returned, he left a pig for the boss, and all the rest were transported to the market to be sold, which caused quite a stir in the market.

It's been a long time since the survivors of Safe Harbor City have seen anyone come back with their prey alone, and in the early days of the disaster, some people liked to go out alone, when the animals had not yet evolved, and even if the large animals could not be hunted, they would always bring back some small animals.

Now don't talk about solo hunting, even a group of people go out and often return empty-handed.

I had no idea that I would be famous in Safe Harbor because of hunting.

Now people come to me every day and say they want to go out of the city with me, at first I refused, but after hearing that there is a hunting party in the city, I agreed again.

The city's exclusive hunting team is directly under Xie Xin's management, if you can blend into this team, you will have more opportunities to contact Xie Xin, which is undoubtedly an excellent pedal to enter the upper echelons of the camp.

If I insisted on going it alone, it might come across as unsociable and uncooperative, so I accepted the other survivors' requests and agreed to take a few people with me next time I went out of town.

Shangguan Li was also promoted two levels in a row in this month, and it is said that the situation in Xindu has stabilized, and it is Shangguan Qing who has returned to power.

I was really a little surprised to hear this news, but after thinking about it, I felt that there was nothing to make a fuss about, Shangguan Qing was not a simple person.

As soon as Shangguan Qing took office, Xie Xin's olive branch was thrown over, and the two had a cordial and friendly exchange, hoping that the two sides would have further cooperation in the future.

Now that Safe Harbor and Xindu have formed an alliance, Shangguan Li's status in Safe Harbor has also risen, and Xie Xin also invited him to dinner, and within a week, he invited three meals.

In the second week, Shangguan Li began to find excuses to push it away, but Xie Xin had more reasons, and the identity of the mayor was there, and the number of times the two met increased day by day.

No matter how dull a person is, he should understand Xie Xin's intentions at this time, either eating or watching movies or concerts, every time he comes back from a 'date' with Xie Xin, Shangguan Li's face is clouded.

In this kind of torment, Shangguan Li learned to stare at me, he never glared at me, but since I asked him if he was taken advantage of by female hooligans, he lit up his new skills, and when he came to me for a routine check-up every day, as long as I asked him if he had suffered any losses today, he would stare at me.

The conscience of heaven and earth, I asked every day, completely out of concern for his personal safety, and did not mean to make fun of him.

Well, I'll admit, sometimes I want to laugh when I see him being molested to the point of annoyance, but I'm kind enough to hold back.

Xie Xin's pursuit is obviously compulsive and utilitarian, and it is unbearable for anyone to change it, so I can understand Shangguan Li's mood.

Zuo Bal's survivors are still in safe harbor, and Shangguan Li is jealous of Xie Xin because of this, otherwise he would not have dumped her a long time ago.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen, and it would not be for Shangguan to leave, nor would he stay, racking his brains every day to think about what reason to refuse to meet Xie Xin.

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the day came when I promised to take people out of the city to hunt, and the few people I selected were all good at marksmanship.

This will ensure their survival rate, and if anyone wants to go out of the city with me in the future, they must first see if they have these skills.

After I went out of the city, I took them to find the spot I had stepped on last time, and drove more than 100 kilometers west of the city, there was a small mountain village, the village was sparsely populated by more than a dozen families, and the houses were in a state of semi-collapse for some reason, and in this village lived a mother bear and two cubs.

This bear is not the same species as the bear I hunted last time, it is dark all over, only 1.6 meters long, but the claws are sharper and sharper.

With an animal of this size, the nine of us should be able to subdue it together, after all, I want to leave a good impression on the hunting team directly under the city, and I can't bring people out for the first time and wipe them out.

But when we got to the outside of the village, we saw a car parked at the entrance of the village, which I didn't have last time I came, indicating that someone else had come to the village after I left.

We stopped the car, I told the others to stay in the car, and I got out of the car alone to check.

There was no one in the car, so I used an antenna to look around and saw that there were living people in the village, and there was only one person.

Walking around the car, I saw a bear corpse lying in the snow, very close to the car, full of bullet holes, and two human corpses lying next to the corpse.

The human corpse had many claw marks, one with its chest cut open and one with its neck cut off, and it looked as sharp as I had imagined it to be.

The blood of the man and the bear had dried up, so the battle had not just taken place, and I found a set of footprints on the way into the village, which got out of the car, stopped by the corpses of the man and the bear, and then walked towards the village.

Just looking at the size of the footprints, I estimate that it should be a woman, of course, men also have relatively small feet, but a man with such small feet may not be too tall.

I turned around and waved at the people in the car, signaling that they could come down.

They were very happy, the bear was dead, although it was not just dead, but judging by the bloodstains, it would not be very long, and now that the weather was cold, picking up the bear carcass would not affect sales.

"Wait here, shoot if any other animal shows up." With that, I walked towards the village.

I walked briskly into the village, looking for the information I had searched for on the antenna, and found a woman on the small second floor of a house.

The door of the house was open, and there was the body of a cub bear in the yard, and there was another one on the first floor.

The cubs' heads were almost blown to pieces, and the man who killed them must have had a powerful weapon in his hand, and I was very careful as I walked upstairs, keeping an eye out for the man's movements.

When I found the woman in the master bedroom on the second floor, she was in a semi-comatose state, and even though she was delirious, she was clutching a strangely shaped pistol in her hand.

The handle is small, just enough for a woman to hold in her hand, but the main gun body is as thick as a Coke bottle.

I didn't know how the weapon was constructed and how the gun fired bullets, but the carcasses of two cubs had proven to be powerful.

The woman's beautiful long hair was a little disheveled, her face was beautiful, her cheeks were flushed with abnormal red tides, her forehead was full of sweat, her lips were chapped and peeled, and she was obviously suffering from a high fever.

She looked about my age, petite and curled up in a quilt.

I walked over to the bed, probed her forehead, it was indeed a fever, I gently pulled the strange gun from her hand, she struggled a little, but maybe it was burned to the point of delirium, and her body was extremely weak, so she couldn't exert much strength at all.

I lifted the quilt and examined her body, but found no external injuries, so her high fever should have nothing to do with the injury.

"Huh? Wake up. I tried to wake her up, but she didn't open her eyes after several pushes.

If she continued to burn like this, she would die with a whimper, so I picked her up and prepared to take her back to safety.

Several people outside the village were surprised to see me come out with a living person, one of whom had studied forensic medicine before the disaster, and this person told me that judging from the blood stains on the bear corpse and the human corpse, they had been dead for at least 72 hours.

That is, they died for three whole days, and I did not find any food or water with this woman, and there was no food in that household.

Judging from the traces in the house, the woman went directly to the second floor after killing the bear cub, and never came out after entering the bedroom.

Of course I knew what they were worried about, and they thought there was something wrong with this woman, but I knew that this woman was human, neither a zombie nor a shapeshifter.

There may be some suspicion in her, and suspicious groups are not the same as danger, at least I have to save her before I can determine if she is a threat.
