Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 83 Corpse
The place where I dropped Chai Xin off was not far away, and it didn’t take much time to drive there and back.

However, when Lu Xian and Yao Wei drove back, it was already quite a while later.

Most of the time was wasted on exploring Chai Xin's nest.

Sending out drones to investigate, and then having people follow to check the nest, search, open, and observe things, being responsible for themselves and ensuring safety, will take up more time.

Therefore, Lu Xian did not expect to see Chai Xin at the same place after returning.

He guessed that Chai Xin either still had some hope for them, hoping that they would turn back after seeing the treasure, or that they were forced to survive and followed his guidance, heading east and returning to Tongzhou County to fight for territory.

So Lu Xian was not surprised when he turned around and didn't see Chai Xin waiting there.

But the other scenes before their eyes surprised Lu Xian and Yao Wei immensely——

The road ahead was still clean. A heavy snow had cleared everything, leaving no trace of even the wolf's body.

But the area outside the road should have been clean, but two bodies appeared there without anyone noticing.

Of the two corpses, one had blood coming out of its ears and the other had a hole in its chest. A closer look revealed that its necks were all messed up and bloody. It looked like after being knocked down, someone had stabbed their necks with some sharp weapon to prevent them from standing up again.

Fortunately, both bodies were male, not Chai Xin's.

But this must be related to Chai Xin.

"Dog."

Lu Xian gave the mechanical dog another command, and the mechanical dog immediately controlled the drone to fly out.

The robot dogs and drones did a lot of work that day.

Fortunately, Lu Xian has power shortage anxiety. Every time the drone flies, he always has to connect the machine to the mechanical dog to charge it for a while, so that he won’t be unable to fly it when he needs to use it urgently next time.

Otherwise, this time the drone would really have to charge before taking off, which would be a waste of time.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei had already picked up their weapons and were waiting in the car. They waited until the drone flew back and Gouzi confirmed that there was no one nearby before they both got out of the car.

Lu Xian quickly walked to one of the bodies, squatted down to observe, while Yao Wei was on guard with a pistol.

The body had a hole in its chest. The messy wound on its neck was too severe to be seen.

The hole on the chest, however, has some regularity.

"Does this look like an arrow wound to you?"

Lu Xian asked Yao Wei.

Yao Wei lowered her head, stared at the hole in the corpse's chest carefully, and said, "Hmm."

The chest wasn't completely pierced, but blood had already dyed the entire chest red. Lu Xian noticed that the clothes on the chest had been deliberately cut open, and the wound also had traces of a heavy cut towards the edge, with the flesh turned outward, revealing blood vessels and bones.

Lu Xian understood it immediately. Someone had shot the man with an arrow and then came over to retrieve it. Afraid of damaging the arrow, he carefully cut open the man's flesh before pulling it out.

Yao Wei had done the same thing when she pulled the arrow out of the wild boar. Lu Xian felt that Yao Wei had also restrained her strength when shooting the wild boar, ensuring that she could not only knock down the prey but also minimize the loss of the arrow.

The person who killed the man in front of him cherished the arrows as much as Yao Wei did.

"Did you say Chai Xin?"

Lu Xian asked.

Recalling Chai Xin's previous arrow attack on the wolf pack, and thinking about her ability to scare off the wolves with just a shout, Lu Xian was certain that the girl's archery skills were definitely not weak.

He went to examine another body, leaning over to look at the corpse's ear. The bloody hole was right in the ear hole. The edge of the ear had indeed been cut, and because the location was not as convenient as the chest, several more cuts were made.

Lu Xian thought to himself that if this was really Chai Xin, then Chai Xin was really confident in her archery skills. She couldn't bear to let go of the arrow and shot at the head. Shooting at the head would be fine, but instead of looking for places like the eyes, she went for the ear holes.

If the arrow accidentally hits the bone or goes astray, wouldn't Chai Xin be heartbroken?

"should be."

Yao Wei also made a judgment.

Lu Xian carefully examined the bodies and found nothing useful on them, including weapons, food, or identification documents.

Come to think of it, if there was such a thing, it should have been taken away by Chai Xin or someone else.

Who would kill someone these days and not touch the body? Leaving the body to feed the wolves was already considered a luxury.

"call……"

Lu Xian stood up and ignored the corpse on the ground. He looked around and said, "So, Chai Xin fought with these two people and left?
“Or maybe there are others besides these two, and the battlefield has moved to other places?

"Or was Chai Xin caught?"

He listed all the possible plot development directions he could think of, but when Yao Wei heard the third direction, she shook her head and said, "Impossible."

"how?"

Lu Xian asked.

Yao Wei asked, "Her strength is greater than that of ordinary people. She is too dangerous for others. It is impossible for ordinary people to think of capturing her instead of killing her."

Lu Xian guessed that Yao Wei had already compared Chai Xin to herself.

After all, although Chai Xin is not a new human, his current abilities should still far exceed those of ordinary people. For ordinary people, there is no problem in treating Chai Xin as a new human.

Think about it, if you encounter an ordinary person, an ordinary person who is struggling to survive in such a world, would they dare to think of ways to capture you instead of killing you if possible?
Ok……

In fact, if I were to choose, with such a huge gap in strength, I would probably not even dare to kill and would just run away as a sign of respect.

"Dog, go check if there are any other signs of fighting or people running away in other places nearby."

Lu Xian gave another order, and then he was not idle either, and started searching nearby.

Yao Wei was also on guard with a gun in hand while looking around.

But after searching for a while, they found nothing. Even the dogs and drones only found bloodstains near the two bodies, and no traces elsewhere.

It seems that the battle that broke out here was very short and ended in a very short time, and ultimately ended with Chai Xin's victory.

Lu Xian could only temporarily guess based on the traces at the scene that there were not many people who came here to fight with Chai Xin, perhaps only two, or perhaps more.

But after seeing Chai Xin's powerful fighting ability, the remaining people were frightened and turned around and ran away, and Chai Xin did not chase them.

——Of course, these are just speculations.

"Who are these people?"

Lu Xian asked.

After he and Yao Wei confirmed that they couldn't find anyone here, they both returned to the car.

After getting in the car, Yao Wei pondered for a moment and replied, "Mengxin City."
