long night fire

Unlike the ruins of Swamp No. 1, the streets here are obviously not cleaned regularly by "unintentional persons". The sides are covered with rotten and blackened mud, and the road is full of cars parked here and there. Some of them collide with each other, and they remain in that state. It has not changed for many years, as if frozen in the moment when the old world was destroyed.

Among the similar things are countless human bones, which can be seen here and there, either covered by a few rags or completely "naked".

It was the first time for Long Yuehong to see so many corpses, and she felt like entering a mass grave.

At this time, the summer sun was scorching hot, and he actually felt a little cold.

Wang Fugui and the others were obviously shocked by this scene, and they didn't take a step for a long time.

Shang Jian Yao sighed and said:

"The amount of work to bury them all is so large that it is almost impossible to complete."

Jiang Baimian then said:

"The ruins of cities that have not been discovered by humans should have similar situations in many areas."

Judging from the lack of explosion traces here, those corpses either died in gun battles or were killed by "unintentional persons" and became their food, leaving only bones.

"The 'unintentional' didn't drag these corpses to their own dens, store them up, leave them on the street, and eat them on the spot every day? They like open-air parties?" Shang Jianyao said he couldn't understand.

His focus is always so wrong.

"When human beings were first infected with 'Wuxin Disease', they had not yet adapted to animalistic instincts, and would always act in similar contradictory behaviors." Jiang Baimian replied with his own research results, "This area should be the outbreak of 'Wuxin Disease' In the core area of ​​the city, there are too many of them, and they quickly eat up the remaining humans, which may not be the case in other streets."

Listening to Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing discussing this matter, Wang Fugui and the others felt inexplicably absurd.

How does the "mindless one" of the past have anything to do with us now?

"Two people, search here for a while to see if there are any clues." Jiang Baimian ordered Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.

This time, she brought Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao paired with Bai Chen, so that neither side had any shortcomings in strength.

Seeing this, Waite and the others also began to look for valuable supplies in this area.

Because they couldn't drive in and out, and they had to preserve enough physical strength, they didn't choose big items, but picked things that were convenient to carry and relatively valuable, such as the gold ornaments on the bones.

After an hour of simple search, the "Old Tune Team" failed to find any useful clues, and could only initially restore the scene at that time - more than two-thirds of the people on the street suddenly went berserk, attacking normal humans, biting them, gnaw on them.

During the search, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen did not forget to pick up gold ornaments, technical books and other things.

They have never forgotten that they and others are still in huge debts.

After leaving this street, Jiang Baimian's eyes suddenly brightened.

Ahead was a city square, and on the other side of the square were dozens of stories of black buildings.

The curtain wall of the building has been broken, and many places are covered with green plants.

As Jiang Baimian expected, compared with the previous area, the number of bones here is quite rare.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao pointed to the ground in front of the black building and said:

"Their styles of painting seem to be different."

Bai Chen, Wang Fugui and the others followed his fingers and found four or five corpses there.

Unlike the others, they are highly decayed, but not yet boneless.

"It's not long since you died?" Jiang Baimian said in deliberation.

The "not long" in her context is relative to those bones.

"Go and have a look." This time, Wang Fugui actually proposed.

Because the space here is open and the surroundings are unobstructed, it seems that there is no danger. Gray, Waite and Fars all agreed with him.

The "Old Tune Group" is more concerned about this kind of thing, and it will not let it go.

Just approaching the four or five corpses, Wang Fugui's eyelids twitched suddenly, pointed to one of the dead and said:

"Then the shirt he's wearing is the kind of cheap shirt produced in the factory area of ​​the original city."

It’s not dated yet, and it’s styled for the current era—with more internal pockets for easy storage.

Long Yuehong followed and saw the appearance of the corpse clearly.

Seeing this, he almost pouted.

Only then did he realize that the highly decomposed, miserable corpse was many times more disgusting than the white skeleton.

An indescribable stench penetrated his nostrils, making him almost vomit on the spot.

"There are no traces of mending on this shirt. It should have been bought in the last year or two." Jiang Baimian raised his hand to his nose, took a few steps forward, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

As for the current rupture of the shirt, it should have been caused by his death.

She immediately made a judgment and said in a deep voice:

"Are these the ruin hunters who disappeared completely, those who were brought into the depths of the cave by the white wolf?"

"It should be." Bai Chen held her breath and agreed.

Wang Fugui and others were stunned when they heard this:

"Isn't the missing relic hunter either eaten or saved?"

The rest were killed by the "Old Tune Group", of course, this cannot be said.

Long Yuehong took the opportunity to look away, explained to the lone hunters that the number was wrong, and told the information that a large number of missing people were brought into the depths of the cave by the white wolf.

Waite hissed:

"They went in here, and then, died, didn't they get eaten?"

How does this sound a bit weird.

"What is the cause of death?" Wang Fugui asked anxiously.

Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, before Jiang Baimian, looked up at the black building to the side:

"Judging from the signs of damage to the bodies, they should have jumped to their deaths from a certain floor of that building."

Suicide by jumping off a building?Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others were all shocked.

Those relic hunters were led into the depths of the cave by the white wolf and entered the No. 13 relic, but some of them committed suicide by jumping off the building one after another here?

"My judgment is also the same." Jiang Baimian echoed Shang Jianyao's words, with doubts that could not be concealed on his face.

What happened to these four or five relic hunters, and what did the white wolf want to do?

Jiang Baimian paused and said again:

"It is not ruled out that they were pushed down, and further inspections are required to investigate the scene of the jump."

This one might be even scarier, okay... Who pushed them, why did they push them?Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to take a breath, but was so suffocated by the smell of the scene that she closed her mouth.

"Do you want to go in?" Shang Jianyao pointed to the tall and majestic black building.

Jiang Baimian was silent for several seconds and said:

"Not this time, remember our pre-established guidelines.

"Well, just search around a bit."

The rule is not to go too deep in hastily, and to lay the foundation for the second exploration.

Chapter 111 Different Ways

Hearing Jiang Baimian's answer, Shang Jianyao looked away regretfully.

Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't go his own way this time... Seeing this, Long Yuehong was quietly relieved.

In fact, he also knew that most of the time, Shang Jianyao still listened to people's words and obeyed the arrangements.

At this time, Wang Fugui saw that Jiang Baimian was still staring at the blurred or fragmented rotting corpses, so he couldn't help but raised his hand to his nose and said:

"Will there be clues on them?"

"Not sure." Jiang Baimian replied casually, "The main reason is that I don't have a camera right now, so I can't take pictures. I have to write down various details and do further analysis later."

At this moment, there is no time and conditions for her to do an in-depth autopsy.

Jiang Baimian immediately put on his gloves, and together with Bai Chen, he quickly checked the condition of the corpse and the items they carried with them, to see if they could find any valuable information.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong stared at Wang Fugui and the others while guarding their surroundings in case they were attacked.

During this process, Long Yuehong sniffed the disgusting stench of corpses, inexplicably feeling like she had entered a ghost story:

Those relic hunters were "charmed" by the white wolf and brought into the ruins of the city at the other end of the cave, and jumped off the building one by one to die!

It's weird, mysterious, and terrifying.

And this is just some of the people brought here by the white wolf... what about the others?How are they doing now?Long Yuehong looked around vigilantly, feeling that something unknown was brewing in the desolate and quiet city square full of green plants.

The unknown often represents terror.

Jiang Baimian did not waste too much time, and quickly completed the preliminary autopsy.

As she took off the gloves and put them in a special plastic bag, she said:

"At present, it is true that they fell to their deaths, but before they jumped off the building, it is unknown what happened to their spirit or body. Hey, we can't do a detailed dissection here."

She actually knows how to perform an autopsy... Wang Fugui was stunned for a while.

For him, even the word "autopsy" was learned from certain Old World books he found while exploring other ruins.

Of course, as relic hunters, they will also touch corpses, examine traces, and determine the cause of death in their daily adventures, but these are very superficial, and there is no systematic science. They are supported purely by experience, so they can only confirm that the target died in the Guns, sharp weapons, or beasts, died after a fierce battle, or were attacked from behind by someone.

As for the items found from the corpse, Jiang Baimian collected them and prepared to study them carefully after returning home.

Waite and the others didn't stop them, and they didn't try to get a piece of the action. After all, most of the missing relic hunters and wilderness wanderers had a miserable life. Apart from weapons, the most valuable things on their bodies were organs.

"Their guns are gone." Wang Fugui said the obvious fact.

"Before entering the ruins of the city, were you disarmed by the white wolf, or did you leave your weapon somewhere before jumping off the building to commit suicide?" Jiang Baimian looked up at the towering and majestic black building.

She exhaled slowly and said:

"Let's not go in, just look around and see if there are any clues."

"Okay." Waite was the first to respond.

Just wanting to take the opportunity to make a fortune, he agrees with Jiang Baimian faster than Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen, the three members of the "Old Tune Group".

This made Long Yuehong feel sympathetic.

Gray and Fars didn't necessarily have the idea of ​​looking for the secrets of the old world, and expressed their support after a little pondering.

For them, the purpose of finding the secrets of the old world is to make money and exchange for needed materials. Now that there are other ways and other ways to harvest valuable items, there is no need to take risks by force.

Except for a very small number of people, the vast majority of human beings choose what is easy or safe. Of course, the premise is that the wealth captured by those options is not much different in current cognition.

"Okay." Wang Fugui looked away from the black building.

The two teams immediately bypassed this place and walked to the side.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

A crow flew by in mid-air, causing many birdsongs to sing.

"It doesn't look like there are no creatures here." Shang saw Yao's disappointment.

But in this environment, the crow's cry was more terrifying than nothing at all... Long Yuehong retorted in her heart.

As he was walking, Jiang Baimian suddenly stopped.

Following her gaze, Bai Chen saw a rough leather shoe with poor workmanship.

There is a lot of mud on its upper, and the surface is traces of rain after drying.

Compared with the shoes on the feet of some nearby corpses, it looked very "new".

Long Yuehong raised her eyes slowly, and looked at the mid-air corresponding to the leather shoes.

Then, he saw a highly decomposed corpse with its tongue sticking out swaying slightly with the breeze on the street tree.

One foot of the corpse was bare, and the other was covered with leather shoes.

The leather shoes are the same style as the ones on the ground.

Wang Fugui's expression was slightly condensed, and he said in a deep voice:

"The leather used for these shoes is from a deformed creature. It definitely didn't exist before the destruction of the old world."

What he meant was that the corpse hanging from the street tree belonged to a relic hunter or wilderness wanderer who had disappeared before.
