Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 84: Another Massacre
The next morning, Su Ding and the other two packed up their things and left the market.

They went to the shelter first and took out the stored runes and crossbows.

If they have the chance this time, they plan to hunt some monsters.

After all, compared to black crystal, monster materials are more valuable.

Then the three of them walked in the morning light, being careful along the way.

However, because Su Ding used the Wind-Listening Axe to enhance his five senses along the way, their speed was much faster than the first time they came.

It used to take me an hour and a half to walk with Zhang Kun, but now it only takes me an hour.

When they arrived, the area was still quiet and deserted.

They should be the first scavengers to arrive here.

Then, Su Ding took Li Jingan and Monkey to search for the special talisman stone in the pile of black crystals here.

There aren't many black crystal piles here, only about a hundred scattered around.

The three of them walked around but didn't find any special minerals.

Instead, he found the black crystal that he and the monkey had hidden last time.

There are a total of fourteen kilograms of black crystal, eight kilograms of his black crystal, and six kilograms of the monkey's black crystal.

This is not a small number in the wilderness.

Su Ding put the black crystal away, then looked at his watch. More than half an hour had passed.

Judging from the speed of the scavenging team, they should be here.

Then, he took Li Jingan and Monkey to find a place to hide.

But half an hour later, some small scavenging groups appeared.

"Something's wrong," the monkey couldn't help but say, "They should have been here within half an hour. Could it be that they've moved to another place?"

If that's the case, then they are really unlucky.

"Not necessarily." Su Ding pondered for a moment and said, "It's also possible that they knew our plan, so they didn't come here."

Hearing his words, Monkey was stunned. "That's impossible. This plan was decided yesterday, and only the three of us knew about it."

At this point, he quickly said: "Brother Su, I didn't leak the news to anyone else!"

"Neither you nor I have ever doubted it." Su Ding waved his hand and said, "I think they might have sent someone to monitor us at dawn, but this is just my guess. Let's wait another ten minutes. If no one shows up, we'll leave here first."

"Okay, Brother Su." Monkey breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

The three of them then waited for another ten minutes.

During this time, a small group of scavengers arrived.

As for the weed scavengers, there was not even a trace of them.

Su Ding was also certain that the weed scavenging group would definitely not come.

Then, the three of them left here and went back to the market.

All three of them were a little depressed.

Originally, they thought they could eliminate the hidden danger of tension in a short period of time.

But unexpectedly, an accident happened.

Moreover, it is possible that the group of scavengers are ambushing them on this road.

"Let's take another route back." Su Ding said.

If the Waste Grass Scavenging Group really gave up coming to Mining Area No. 5 because they left.

The probability that the other party is ambushing them on the road is very high.

Monkey and Li Jingan also understood what he meant and nodded.

Then, they changed the road at an intersection.

However, not long after they left, Su Ding immediately stretched out his hand to make a gesture of silence.

Monkey and Li Jingan stopped immediately and took out their weapons at the same time.

"Squeak..." A faint sound came from a distance. Hearing this sound, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This cry was made by a monster that moved very slowly.

The monster is called Human Ganoderma.

Its whole body looks a bit like the wind-listener, but it doesn't have ears, but plants like Ganoderma lucidum all over its body.

The most disgusting thing about this monster is that the Ganoderma lucidum on its body is very hard and sharp.

At the same time, if the Ganoderma lucidum on its body cuts a person, something similar to Ganoderma lucidum will grow in the person's flesh and bones.

However, this monster has a characteristic: because of its heavy weight, it is very slow.

Even ordinary scavengers can escape easily when encountering such monsters.

Su Ding and the other two found a relatively high place and looked towards the place where the monster was making the sound.

Then they discovered a scene that made their scalps tingle.

There were more than ten human Ganoderma lucidums present.

Near this person's Ganoderma lucidum, there lay a pile of bloody corpses.

They are gnawing on the flesh and blood of these corpses.

As they gnawed, things like Ganoderma lucidum grew from the corpses at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Ding took a quick glance and made a rough estimate.

There are at least forty or fifty corpses here.

"How could so many people die?" The monkey swallowed and felt a chill in his heart.

Logically speaking, the speed of these people's Ganoderma is very slow, so it is impossible for them to kill so many people!
"They're from the weed scavenging group." Li Jing'an pointed at one person with a serious expression and said, "I saw a circle of weeds tied around their arms."

Su Ding also looked over and used the five senses given by the Wind-Listener's axe to see that there was indeed a circle of grass ring tied around the arm of one of the corpses.

This is the logo of the Weed Picking Team.

"Have they encountered a monster?" the monkey couldn't help but say.

After saying that, he immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible. If they were monsters, then their corpses would definitely not be eaten by human Lingzhi."

Then he paused again, looked at the white steam coming out of the corpse, and smelled a hot and fishy smell in the air.

The white mist is the water vapor in the flesh and blood of the corpse, which condenses into water droplets when it encounters cold air.

This also means that these people have not been dead for long.

"Since it wasn't a monster that killed him, then who did it?" Guesses kept popping up in the monkey's mind.

First, it's impossible for a wanderer to do so.

Because population is a very valuable resource for wanderers.

Even if they cannot be used to reproduce the population, they are good choices for detecting black crystal piles or as slaves.

As for the company's army, it cannot be ruled out.

Before, he had seen people in the company taking pleasure in torturing and killing scavengers.

Then the monkey expressed his guess.

"It's impossible for the company either." Su Ding shook his head and said.

In fact, except for some psychopaths, no one kills for fun.

Many scavengers were captured by the company's army and died while mining.

"Who is that?" The monkey was a little confused for a moment.

Su Ding looked at the pile of corpses being eaten by Ganoderma lucidum in the distance, his expression silent, and an idea came to his mind.

The murderer is most likely Xiong Qian.

Because the scene before him gave him a very familiar feeling.

That Xiong Qian who had her core changed had done this kind of massacre before!!!
