Chapter 73 Investigation
Cheng Xia shook his head: "I don't know." Then he looked at Yuchuan and ordered: "Go find the manager of the shelter and ask them to come over."
When Yuchuan heard Cheng Xia's words, he immediately left towards the shelter.
"I think the shelter's administrators are aware of what's going on here." Cheng Xia turned to look at Ah Sha who was standing there blankly: "Why are there so many people here?"
Yun Yang also looked at Ah Sha: "Yeah! We didn't see any uneaten food. Could it be that the drinking water in the shelter comes from here?"
Ah Sha's expression speaks for itself.
Yun Yang jumped up immediately upon seeing this and said, "They're crazy! The water is already poisonous, and there are so many corpses in it. They—they—"
Yun Yang didn't continue for a long time. He felt like vomiting just thinking about it.
Shuangshuang said to Cheng Xia, "Brother Cheng Xia, since this is a place that the shelter often comes to, then everyone in the shelter should know the situation here. Otherwise, the people here are not the ones who disappeared from the shelter; or is there a problem with the shelter?"
Listening to Shuangshuang's analysis, Cheng Xia looked at Ah Sha beside him and asked, "Do you know these people?"
Ah Sha shook his head, indicating that he had never seen it.
Shuangshuang didn't expect that the missing people were not found, and so many more people appeared.
Several people gathered around the ditch, searching for clues and waiting for people.
From time to time, people from the shelter came here to fetch water. Knowing the origins of Cheng Xia and his companions, they were not too panicked.
"Will drinking the water here really not kill people?" Shuangshuang murmured as she looked at a person who had just fetched water and left.
After hearing this, Ah Sha looked at Shuang Shuang and explained, "They won't drink too much. They control their water intake every day and avoid drinking if they can. If they're really thirsty, they'll boil water before drinking. They'll be fine in the short term."
Cheng Xia walked over to the corpse and looked at the clothes on it. "These clothes don't look like what people in the shelter wear. Most of the people in the shelter here wear clothes that barely cover their bodies, while the clothes here are relatively better."
Yun Yang walked over and said, "Really? They're much better than the clothes they wear in the shelter. But why are these people here?"
They waited for nearly two hours before Yuchuan came back, accompanied by the shelter manager.
"Second in command, are you looking for me?" the shelter manager said to Cheng Xia.
Cheng Xia pointed in the direction of the ditch and said, "What's going on here? Tell me!"
Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, Yun Yang jumped out and said, "Don't you want to say you know nothing?"
The shelter manager nodded, "I know—I know." After a while, he explained, "I knew about the situation here a year ago, but I don't know why these people appeared here."
"Didn't you send anyone to investigate?" Shuangshuang frowned and looked at the other person.
The manager broke out in a cold sweat: "We checked, not only checked, but also sent people to check twice, but in the end not only did we not find anything, but we also lost money."
Several people sat down and listened to each other's explanation.
"Last year, when the bodies were first discovered near the ditch, I sent people from the shelter to investigate. They found a possible connection to the nearby shelter, but when they dug deeper, they lost contact with the shelter along the way."
"Then I sent out more people. This time, not only were the first group of people not found, but this group of people were also killed along the way before the investigation could be carried out. The other party also sent the bodies back to the outside of the shelter. I know this is a warning from the other party. If the investigation continues, I'm afraid more people will die in the shelter." The shelter manager tremblingly explained the whole story.
Cheng Xia stood up and looked up at the ditch: "What is it connected to in front?"
"The manager said repeatedly: "It is a shelter under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Sanctuary."
Cheng Xia looked ahead after hearing this. Shuang Shuang stepped forward and asked, "Brother Cheng Xia, is there something wrong?"
Cheng Xia shook his head: "We'll go check it out tomorrow. We can't make it back today, so let's go back to the shelter first."
Several people nodded.
The next day, Cheng Xia asked Shuangshuang to pack up the tent and split up. Yuchuan and Yunyang continued their investigation around the shelter. He took Shuangshuang and Yanshu and drove along the ditch to the other side to take a look. Before leaving, he left some biscuits for Yunyang and the others.
Cheng Xia drove the car and the three of them drove along the ditch.
Along the way, Shuangshuang and Yanshu hunted light octopuses while driving forward with Chengxia. It took them two hours to see a shelter.
This shelter is a bit bigger, and it looks more lively with people coming and going around. There are people standing guard around the shelter.
After parking the car at the entrance of the shelter, Cheng Xia jumped out and walked over to the guard: "Hello! We want to enter the shelter. What preparations do we need?"
Wei Jing glanced at Cheng Xia, then at the car behind him, with a smile on his face: "To enter the shelter, each person needs to pay 10 superpower coins or use food as a substitute. If you are superpowered, you don't need to pay anything and can enter for free. Not only do you not need to pay anything, the shelter will also give you food, but the condition is that you join the shelter."
Cheng Xia smiled and thanked him, then walked back to the car, closed the door, and said to Shuang Shuang, "We need to pay 30 supernatural coins to enter the shelter."
Shuangshuang glanced at the guard outside, took out 30 supernatural coins from the mall space and handed them to Cheng Xia.
Yan Shu looked at the psychic coins in Cheng Xia's hand and said, "I've heard that in other shelters, you have to pay a certain amount of food or psychic coins to enter. Only our Tenth Shelter doesn't have this."
"If the same thing happens in the tenth refuge area, more people will die." After Cheng Xia finished speaking, he drove the car to the side of the guard, reached out from the window, and handed over 30 supernatural coins.
The car was quickly released.
After entering the shelter, the car drove along the main road, and Shuangshuang leaned on the window and looked outside.
There were people coming and going in the shelter, and stalls were set up on both sides of the road, selling many things. Although the clothes they wore were dirty and even torn in many places, they still looked much better than the shelters on their side.
Cheng Xia drove the car to a hotel, rented two rooms, paid one night's rent, and then the three of them walked around the shelter.
There were people constantly coming into the shelter, and stalls were set up on both sides of the main road. From time to time, people would squat in front of the stalls and look through the items. There were tents set up all around, and some people were sleeping in the open air. The ground was only covered with some leaves, and because there were toxins, they also used rags found from somewhere to cover the ground.
Shuangshuang squatted in front of a stall, looking through things.
"Your fruits are good and quite fresh." Cheng Xia took a pile of fruits on the stall in his hand and smelled them.
Cheng Xia walked up to Shuang Shuang, looked at the fruit in Shuang Shuang's hand and said, "Beauty Fruit."
"Oh! Brother, you know a lot. This kind of fruit is most loved by girls. My brother and I risked our lives to bring these two fruits out from the Demon Ridge. My two brothers even died for this." The man's expression darkened when he talked about his sad words.
Yan Shu took a look and said with disdain: "Useless thing."
Cheng Xia looked at Shuang Shuang who was playing with the fruit in her hands and leaned over to say, "If you like it, buy it."
Shuangshuang looked at the boss and said, "Boss, how much are these two fruits?"
"One is 100 power coins, and I'll give you a discount if you buy two for 180 power coins. What do you think?" The boss looked at Shuangshuang and asked.
He knew that this kind of fruit might be easier to sell in the refugee area, but it would still be difficult to sell it in the shelter.
Shuangshuang shook her head: "Just 200 Ability Coins. So, Boss, I want to ask you something."
The boss was delighted when he heard Shuangshuang was going to give him 200 Ability Coins. But when he heard Shuangshuang's next words, he became wary: "What do you want to ask?"
"Don't be nervous, I just want to know if anyone has disappeared or gone missing in the shelter recently."
After hearing this, the boss looked around and whispered to Shuangshuang, "You've definitely asked the right person. The daughter of the family next door to me suddenly disappeared two days ago. I spent the entire night searching for her, but we couldn't find her. Isn't that strange? How could someone just disappear like that?"
