Fang Xiaocao followed the crowd leisurely.
From time to time, I squat down, dig through the weeds, and look for footprints.
After making sure that everyone was not pursuing the wrong direction, he stopped paying attention.
As long as the direction is correct and you keep chasing in this direction, you can always catch up.
“Your Royal Highness, we have found the fragments of Hou Qing’s battle clothes.”
"There are still blood stains on it. The Queen may be injured."
A blacklisted half-step super ran over with a sleeve.
Moreover, he was very sensible and followed Yinggou and called out to her, “Her Royal Highness.”
Obviously, he has corrected his position and identity.
Ready to join Fengchao or Honghu and serve Fang Xiaocao.
Fang Xiaocao cast an approving look at the man, nodded with a smile and said, "Well done, where did you find it."
"On the tree over there."
Seeing that Fang Xiaocao acquiesced to his title, the man also breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that he was recognized by Fang Xiaocao.
You can safely follow Fang Xiaocao from now on.
As the first person to voluntarily surrender, he might be able to get a small official position in the future.
“On the tree?”
Fang Xiaocao was stunned and looked in the direction he pointed.
There is indeed a big tree over there, and there are clear scratch marks on the trunk.
It should be left by the old Zongzi.
Hearing the sound, Ying Gou also came over.
Looking at the half-stained sleeve in the man's hand, Ying Gou showed a worried expression.
“Your Royal Highness, will the empress mutate?”
Ying Gou’s worries are not completely unfounded.
After all, the doctor said before he died that anyone scratched and bitten by the old rice dumpling will become a carrier.
In a short period of time, it mutated into an experimental subject, a living dead that was neither human nor ghost, with only physical instincts and no thoughts.
So after Hou Qing was scratched, he would probably mutate.
Then what they have to deal with is not just a super powerful old rice dumpling.
There may be a mutated Queen.
Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Theoretically yes!"
Immediately, Fang Xiaocao continued, "But Hou Qing is a super strong person after all, and his physical fitness is not comparable to ordinary people."
"It is impossible to use super strong people to conduct experiments on blacklists. ”
“Maybe this virus will What about being immune to the body of a super strong person?"
"Even if a super strong person is not immune to this virus, with the physical fitness of a super strong person, it is probably better than that of ordinary people. Carry on it for a while.”
"So the current Queen is not necessarily mutated."
Fang Xiaocao expressed his thoughts, and Yinggou nodded repeatedly.
“It makes sense!”
“As expected of your Royal Highness, you think about problems comprehensively.”
Ying Gou Xiaoxiao flattered Fang Xiaocao.
Fang Xiaocao ignored Ying Gou and looked at the person who found Hou Qing's sleeve: "What is your name?"
"Go back to your highness, my code name is Chongming."
Chongming Fang He replied with a low profile and respectfully.
“Chongming?”
Fang Xiaocao repeated.
Chongming, also called Chongming bird, is also a mythical beast.
It is in line with the blacklist's habit of giving code names.
They are all picked from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, or ancient myths.
“Well done, careful enough.”
“Keep up the good work.”
Fang Xiaocao praised Chongming casually.
“It seems that Hou Qing caught up with Lao Zongzi here and even fought.”
“However, it seems that Hou Qing was no match for Lao Zongzi and was even injured.”< br>
“We must speed up our pace to catch up.”
“If the queen fails to hold on and mutates, my enemies will be two super strong men.”
< br>
Fang Xiaocao said in a deep voice. Although in Fang Xiaocao's opinion, even if Hou Qing is infected, it is unlikely that he will mutate in a while.
But Fang Xiaocao is used to thinking about the worst in everything.
This will ensure that the probability of accidents is minimized.
That’s why Fang Xiaocao said this.
"Understood, I will take them to chase them immediately."
Ying Gou said in a deep voice.
Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Go ahead. If you find Hou Qing first, you must be careful."
"Make sure she has not mutated before letting anyone get close to her."
Fang Xiaocao patiently gave a few instructions.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do it."
Yinggou responded and shouted to the people gathered together: "Follow me!"
As he said that, Yinggou took the lead. rushed out.
Those members of the blacklist, as well as Chongming immediately followed Ying Gou.
Only Fang Xiaocao was left on the spot, still studying the half sleeve in his hand.
"Strange, these sleeves don't look like they were torn off by an old rice dumpling, but they looked like they were cut with a knife."
Fang Xiaocao muttered, threw away the half sleeve in his hand, and moved towards Win Go in the direction they left.
There is always an indescribable feeling in Fang Xiaocao's heart.
There seems to be something they don’t understand.
For example, the appearance of Hou Qing’s half sleeve is very unusual.
Even if the arm is injured, why do you have to cut off the sleeve?
It's not like it's to stop bleeding or anything.
On the contrary, it seems to be leaving a mark on someone.
The more Fang Xiaocao thought about it, the more he felt that there seemed to be something else going on here.
But she couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Fang Xiaocao shook his head and put this question aside for the time being.
Perhaps when we find Hou Qing, everything will be revealed.
Ying Gou led a group of blacklisted prisoners and ran all the way.
Finally, three thousand meters away, I found another place with traces of a struggle.
And in a conspicuous place, I found the other half of Hou Qing's sleeve.
There were also blood stains on this half sleeve.
The blood stain is even fresher than the half found last time.
It seems that it has just flowed out not long ago and has not completely solidified yet.
Seeing this half sleeve, Fang Xiaocao's doubts deepened.
There are no signs of damage on this half sleeve.
It was completely cut with a knife.
So what’s going on with the blood stains?
Why did Hou Qing leave half of his sleeve here and stain it with blood?
Fang Xiaocao did not say anything, but kept his doubts in his heart.
This is not the time to question the existence and unreasonableness of sleeves.
Since the blood stains on the sleeves have not yet dried, it means that the person left just recently.
And Hou Qing has not mutated yet.
“The direction is correct, keep chasing.”
Fang Xiaocao gave the order, and Yinggou and others immediately continued the pursuit.
After walking another two thousand meters, traces of the battle were discovered again.
The traces of the battle this time looked particularly fierce.
Even the big tree on the side was broken by someone who didn't know whether it was Hou Qing or Lao Zongzi.
Similarly, there are half sleeves here.
It still belongs to Hou Qing, it's just on the other arm.
There are also blood stains on this half sleeve.
It's very fresh, like it just came out.
Fang Xiaocao observed carefully and found that there was no damage on the half sleeve.
It was completely cut with a knife.
Fang Xiaocao can basically confirm that these sleeves are the marks left by the Queen to someone.
But for whom exactly it was left, Fang Xiaocao had no idea for a while. (End of chapter)
