Chapter 168 The Closest Truth
Huangfu Miaomiao and Li Qing had long been accustomed to Feng Ling's rhythm, and jumped out of the wooden house immediately after him.
Then Wen Xiuyan, Wu Wei, and Liang Jiaqin also jumped down.
"Great, the snow has stopped!" Wen Xiuyan said happily, "It would be great if it doesn't snow forever."
Without the wind and snow, the vision becomes extremely clear.
"The weather in the maze is usually very regular. If it snows continuously, the wooden house will be buried sooner or later, so I guess it will rain for a while and then stop for a while."
Feng Ling looked towards Walking down, he said: "Let's go to the place where they picked up the mobile phone first and see if we can find any clues."
The distance of a few dozen meters is not far, and we arrived in a short walk.
Heavy snow covered everything, and the snowman on the hillside became the only road sign.
"What kind of clues are we looking for?" Liang Jiaqin asked Feng Ling.
Feng Ling glanced around, patted the snow off the head of a nearby snowman, and said, "Look for any traces of a fight."
After hearing this, everyone dispersed to look for clues.
——If there was really a fierce battle here, something should be left behind, such as bullet casings after shooting, blood from injuries, and dents from swords and axes.
Feng Ling thought to herself that the inspectors in the expedition team are all top-notch experts, and there must be a lot of noise when using card abilities. In a desperate fight, it stands to reason that half of the hillside should be torn down. Just one layer of ground.
But here, the snowmen are all standing intact, which looks too uncoordinated.
Could it be that part of the snowman was actually destroyed? Melted into the snow so you can't see it?
She squatted down, reached into the snow, and turned over a piece of snow at random to see if there was anything underneath.
The snow cubes were turned up one after another like white ice cream, so white that there was no trace of dust.
Feng Ling was a little disappointed.
This is illogical.
The back of the phone was almost completely shattered, and there were obvious scratches from sharp objects. This was definitely a monster attack. How come there were no traces at the scene of the fight? Not even a drop of blood could be seen.
The snow is so annoying. If there is no snow on the ground, she can follow the traces to guess which direction the attacker left, instead of being helpless like now.
Feng Ling stood up and kicked the snow twice in annoyance.
A touch of inconspicuous blue leaps into view.
She was stunned for a moment, her eyes focused on the inconspicuous blue dot. After a while, she slowly walked over and picked it up cautiously.
A little blue pill.
There is one such pill in the back of every hunter cell phone.
Su Yuqing once told her that if the pollution level cannot be controlled, she can be relieved by taking it before she completely loses her mind.
Feng Ling looked at the blue pills in her hand and fell into deep thought.
She suspected that the direction she had speculated was completely wrong...
The phone was damaged, not necessarily because of an attack, maybe... Ye Zheng broke it himself.
Feng Ling raised her head and looked at the hills and woodlands in the distance.
Ye Zheng... she must have met Squirrel in Area D. In order not to hurt her teammates, she had to leave the team.
The words "squirrel" sent to Su Yuqing were actually her last words.
Just like in suspense movies, the deceased will always try to leave the name of the murderer at the scene before dying.
Ye Zheng's mind was in chaos at the time and he couldn't piece together complicated sentences, so he only said "squirrel". Feng Ling guessed that she had not completely lost her mind at that time, because she later sent Su Yuqing two more messages. Although the meaning was unclear, it could be seen that she did not give up on herself and was still trying to convey the message to the outside world.
What was she doing during that time?
Feng Ling tried to put herself in Ye Zheng's situation - knowing that she was ambushed by a different species, knowing that her pollution value exceeded the safety threshold, how should she save herself?
...Idol?
right! Ye Zheng is looking for the idol!
She found Area B from Area D. During this period, her teammates were also looking for her, and followed her all the way to Area B, firing flares.
As for why the mobile phone was left so close to the wooden house, it is easy to explain.
Hunger and cold exacerbated Ye Zheng's loss of control. She developed a bloodthirsty appetite for living people, so she wandered near the wooden house. At a certain moment, she suddenly woke up and realized that she had become a monster. In desperation, she decided to She killed herself, but her mutated hands...or claws couldn't smoothly open the mechanism on the back of the phone, so she destroyed the phone in a fit of madness and collapse.
The pill fell into the snow. The impetuous monster looked everywhere but could not find it. He was worried that he would lose his mind and attack the humans in the wooden house, so he ran away, far away.
This is the closest truth.
Feng Ling stared at the vast snow in the distance.
If this is the case, where should she go to find Ye Zheng?
Maybe just like what Li Qing said, even if she found Ye Zheng, she wouldn't be able to recognize her.
"Sister Ling, we have turned over the snow here and found nothing." Wu Wei ran over panting and said to Feng Ling.
Feng Ling came back to her senses and stuffed the pills in her hand into the pocket of her cold-weather clothes. "I know, let's go. I'll take you out first while it's not snowing."
"We're still looking for Ye Sister?" Wen Xiuyan asked, she is a loyal fan of Ye Zheng.
"Look." Feng Ling nodded, "Send those four people out first, and then look for them slowly. If you want to see them alive, you want to see their bodies."
Her hand Put it in the pocket of your cold-weather suit and gently rub the blue pill.
If Ye Zheng had really become a pollutant, she would personally feed this pill into Ye Zheng's mouth.
…………
After dawn, the temperature keeps rising and the snow is melting.
Snow water flows down the rugged slopes, converges into streams in the ravines, and washes away the wet peak rocks.
The road under Feng Ling's feet gradually changed from clean snow to mud mixed with ice and snow.
Those familiar ice picks also appeared in the field of vision again.
As soon as they saw the ice pick, everyone's nerves immediately tightened and they looked around cautiously.
Feng Ling took out her phone and looked at the map on it.
The area where ice picks are distributed is very large, but the most dense area is the intersection of Area D and Area B in front of you.
Feng Ling guessed that this was the regular hunting ground for the Snow Maidens, and their nest might be nearby.
"There is something ahead." Liang Jiaqin reminded everyone.
Feng Ling also saw it. It was a corpse, lying bloody on the ground.
She walked closer and saw more clearly, it was the body of a contaminated body——
About 160cm in length, anthropomorphic shape, pale complexion, slender limbs, and very long hair The fluffy long white hair, if you only look at the back, looks like a thin woman with a head full of white hair.
However, when the corpse was turned over, it had an oval belly like a bug's belly, and its face had curved siphonic mouthparts like a butterfly.
Very disgusting.
"There's one over there too!" Wu Wei found another body.
