Adventure Code

Chapter 547 Throttle (2)

I searched along the past, but found no clues. As far as I could see, there was a mess of flying insects in front of my eyes, and the muddy ground outside the extension of the platform. In the past, this place was near the water. If people stand on the edge of the platform, look at the cliffs. , Ancient pine cloud and mist plus a pool of clear water, I think it is a kind of enjoyment, now the clear water has turned into mud, and the ancient pines on the cliffs cannot be seen in the dark, when the lights are turned off, there are only unknown black flying insects densely packed in the mud.

Most of them are 'sleeping', and flying around in our light is only a very small part, even so, it is dizzying for the eyes.

After more than ten minutes, there was nothing. Just when Jin Le and I were going to go back along the way, we caught a glimpse of the flashlight on the right waving up and down three times out of the corner of our eyes.

Can't make too much noise here, so it's signaling, obviously finding something.

Everyone immediately headed towards that direction, which is located at the connection between the platform and the plank road. If we ignore this stone gate and continue to move forward, we will pass there.

It is Wang Mang who is signaling to us at this moment.

Everyone leaned over, Xiao Qi looked around quickly, and found no problem, so he lowered his voice and asked Wang Mang what was going on.

Wang Mang's voice was extremely low, and his expression was a little unsightly. He pointed to the muddy ground at the corner of the platform and said, "There is something."

That place was filled with piles of black flying insects, no different from other places, but since Wang Mang pointed it out, there must be something wrong.Everyone held their weapons and looked at the area. The dense flying insects were constantly moving, like changing black sand, getting higher for a while, flattening for a while, and surging to both sides for a while, revealing the hidden things below.

We stared at it for about ten seconds, and saw that with the movement of the flying insects, other colors gradually appeared in that position. The color was not pure black like flying insects, but a kind of brownish black, which was actually unremarkable. If you don't pay attention, you will be ignored.

The flying insects piled up and changed, and the thing appeared and disappeared, but it could be seen that the material was cloth.

The old pervert said in a low voice: "Take it out and have a look." We used our climbing claws to hook the thing carefully. In order not to disturb the little flying insects, we moved very slowly, and the thing that was half buried in the mud was caught. We slowly pulled it out.

Judging from the weight, it's not just the fabric, we suspect it may be a person.

Facts quickly proved that we were right. Following the actions of our subordinates, we slowly dragged out that thing. The first thing that was pulled out was the upper body, a human figure, but most of it was covered with mud. There are many tiny flying mosquito larvae wriggling in the mud.

The corpse was pulled to the platform by us, exuding the stench of mud. Judging from the exposed parts, there was no sign of decay, so it should have died not long ago.

My heart skipped a beat, and I exchanged a glance with Jin Le.

Another dead man came.

It should be the people in that group.

How did he die?I couldn't help but continue to look into the mud at the edge, hoping that there was only one corpse, and that there would be no second one. It would not be a good thing for me if all those people died.

After observing for a while, I didn't see any other corpses. It should be only this one.

The team doctor, the boss, had already been sacrificed, and the task of examining the cause of death of the corpse naturally fell on Jin Le.The corpse was full of flying insect larvae, very small worms, wriggling in the mud hidden on the corpse, which looked disgusting.

Fortunately, we were wearing protective clothing, so we didn't have to touch it directly. Jin Le cleaned most of the mud from the corpse through the gloves of the protective clothing, and began to check the cause of death.

After a while, he said: "The cause of death is the same as that of the corpse on the cliff, it was sucked dry of blood."

The old pervert lowered his voice and said, "No other injuries?"

Jin Le shook his head.

In this way, things are a bit strange. If the death is due to trauma, it is possible that the corpse was sucked dry by flying insects in the later stage; but if there is no trauma, it means that the person was directly attacked by flying insects. Drain the blood and die.

It stands to reason that with the previous experience, a teammate had already died on the cliff, and those people should be as careful as us. Why was someone attacked by flying insects when they got here?
"There is something." When Jin Le inspected the corpse, he found a lot of things in the outdoor jacket pocket outside the corpse. The two corpses he found before were all taken away by their teammates. The contents of the corpse's pockets were all kept, and there was no sign of being searched.

The pockets were bulging outdoors, and Jin Le couldn't hide them even if he wanted to, so he could only take them out slowly.

The old pervert and Xiao Qi went to check immediately.

Most of the things we took out of our pockets were common outdoor carry-on items, such as lighters, fishhooks, folding sabers, and emergency medicines. We also carry these things ourselves.

"Look at this..." Xiao Qi turned over a folded piece of paper, which was originally placed in the inner pocket of the corpse's jacket, so it was kept clean, except for some sewage.

After Xiao Qi carefully opened the glued papers, he obviously found something, and his expression became strange, mixed with happiness and sadness.Curious about what was on the paper, I leaned over to take a look, and was shocked: "Is this a map of the settlement?"

This is a piece of A4 paper, because it has been soaked in water for too long, so the paper has become relatively fragile and easy to be damaged. At this moment, this paper is carefully spread beside the corpse. On it is a hand-painted road map. The road map looks like C-shaped, with some names marked on it, such as 'Exchange', 'Cave No. 2', 'Cave No. 3' and the like.

The old pervert also has a map in his hand, but the map he showed us only has a rough route, and as for the route map inside the settlement, it is even more blank.

However, at this moment, there is a road map of the settlement on the corpse.

This is incredible.

Who are these people?The news is better than the old pervert?As one of the supporters of the J organization, the old pervert has a strong background and can grasp information that many people cannot grasp. Abnormal one.

I thought that the old pervert would be very depressed when he saw this map and found that his opponent was much stronger than himself, but this old pervert was just the opposite. Although he was wearing a mask and covered the lower half of his face, he showed The look in his eyes clearly revealed excitement, and he murmured: "...I have nowhere to go, I really want to thank them." When he said this, his fingers moved on the A4 paper, and then I stopped at one of the positions, and I looked down, only to see that it was in the middle of the C-shaped route, with two words on it: cemetery.
