Chapter 1054 Why is the person missing? (Two chapters in one)
“Welcome.” When the waiter saw the customer coming into the store, he immediately greeted him warmly.
"Hello, are there any vacancies in the store?" Su Yue asked while looking around.
The first floor of the store was full of customers, and there was not even an empty table.
"Isn't there really no place left?" Su Yue thought in her heart.
Fortunately, the waiter's answer did not disappoint. The other person said with a smile, "There are no seats on the first floor. There are some seats on the second floor. Are you alone?"
"There are two of us, please." Help us make arrangements." Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
At this time, Lin Li walked into the store from outside. He came to Su Yue's side, "How about it?"
"There is still room on the second floor." Su Yue said with a smile.
"That's good." Lin Li thought that he didn't have to eat chocolate bars in an emergency.
Although the chocolate bar tastes good, it can still be a bit greasy if eaten regularly.
Now if Lin Li had other food to fill his stomach, he would not choose to eat high-energy emergency food like chocolate bars.
"You two, please follow me." The waiter walked to the second floor.
Lin Li and Su Yue followed each other and walked between the tables.
The eyes of the guests on the first floor suddenly lit up when they saw Su Yue with beautiful face and hot body.
When they saw Lin Li talking and laughing with Su Yue and having a very close relationship, they couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"How is this location?" The waiter asked Lin Li and Su Yue to a table by the window.
Sit down and dine at this table and you can see the outside scenery through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
“This is it.”
Lin Li and Su Yue were quite satisfied with this position, so they pulled out their chairs and sat down.
The waiter left to get the menu and came back shortly.
This was not the first time for Lin Li and Su Yue to eat at this restaurant, and they ordered several dishes very skillfully.
"You two have some tea first. The dishes you ordered will be brought to you soon..." The waiter wrote down the dishes ordered by the guests and was about to leave when Lin Li suddenly called out.
“Wait a moment.”
“Is there anything else you need?”
"The dishes will be served later. Give me a little more rice."
"Okay."
"First, let me have enough rice for five people." Lin Li emphasized in particular. One sentence.
"Um..." The waiter heard this and looked at Lin Li in surprise, "Isn't this a bit much?"
"Just do as I say. I can't finish my meal. I'll pack it up and pay more." Lin Li knew that the waiter was worried that he wouldn't be able to finish his meal, so he said something to reassure him.
"Okay." The waiter nodded, then turned and left.
Su Yue picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea into the cup.
"Drink some tea first!"
"Yes." Lin Li took the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"After dinner, let's find a place to hang out..." Su Yue suggested with a smile.
"Where do you want to go?" Lin Li put down the teacup in his hand and asked.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“Then think about it slowly.”
“Is there a place you want to go?”
“ No. ”
As the two of them chatted, more and more guests came to the restaurant to eat. Before long, all the empty tables on the second floor were filled.
Although this dining place is quite far from the city, there are still many people coming here to dine. Even though it is a working day, not long after arriving at the meal time, there are no more empty seats in the store.
The reason why so many people come all the way to dine here is because of the affordable price of the buffet.
More importantly, the chefs here are very skilled and the dishes they produce are far more delicious than those in ordinary restaurants.
…………
The moon hanging in the sky sprinkles silver-white moonlight on the earth.
After night falls, the number of strange beasts wandering in the wilderness increases rapidly.
“Roar…”
“Woo…”
“Gah…”
Various beast roars sounded from all directions, intertwined after meeting, and echoed in the air.
The wilderness at night is more dangerous than during the day. Under normal circumstances, once it gets dark, the alien hunters who stay in the wilderness will quickly find a place to hide and wait until dawn before taking action.
A faint light lit up in the distance.
In a cave that was not spacious, several people were sitting around a campfire eating.
Wang Jing finished her meal quickly, got up and went to the entrance of the cave, looking into the distance.
An investigator swallowed the food in his mouth, turned his head to look at Wang Jing standing at the entrance of the cave, thought for a moment, and spoke.
“Captain, the magnetic field in this place is chaotic. We can only judge the direction of progress through some obvious reference objects.
At the current speed, there is a high probability that we will not be able to reach our destination as scheduled. "
Wang Jing was looking into the distance, observing the situation outside. When she heard what her colleague said, she turned to look at him and said slowly.
“We didn’t expect to encounter such a chaotic magnetic field on the road before we set off, and there is nothing we can do about the delay now.
In order to ensure safety, we can only act at the current pace now. "
Everyone discussed for a while and felt that what Wang Jing said was very reasonable.
Then everyone did not mention the matter of completing the task on time and changed the topic.
"I I always feel like this place is dangerous. ”
“I feel the same way. ”
"Let's set off early tomorrow and leave this magnetically chaotic area."
The investigators were discussing tomorrow's itinerary. The researcher who had just finished dinner did not participate in the discussion.
He took out the data collected today from his backpack, looking at it and calculating at the same time.
After all, he is not a dedicated combatant. He just has to follow the investigator's instructions on how to act. He just needs to do his job well.
"Roar..."
A beast's roar suddenly appeared in the distance, and everyone in the cave heard it clearly.
Wang Jing unfolded her mental perception and quickly explored the direction where the beast's roar appeared.
“Put out the bonfire.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the investigator sitting in front of the bonfire immediately put out the blazing bonfire.
Wang Jing stared into the distance with a serious face.
Although it is night time and everything is dark, the moon is brighter tonight.
If you have good eyesight, you can see clearly not too far away.
After the bonfire was extinguished, the cave became pitch black, with only the entrance of the cave illuminated by moonlight.
No one spoke, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"Roar..."
The beast roared in the distance again, this time the sound was heard more clearly.
"That strange beast is getting closer and closer to us." An investigator whispered.
"Is it possible that it has already targeted us and is now looking for an opportunity to attack." Another investigator whispered.
Wang Jing raised her hand and made a silent gesture, and the investigator who spoke immediately shut his mouth.
After half a minute, the roar of the alien beast did not disappear, but became increasingly clear.
The faces of everyone present became serious, and Wang Jing spoke at this time.
"You stay in the cave, and I will get rid of that strange beast."
"I will accompany you!" An investigator grabbed the weapon beside him and wanted to accompany him Wang Jing went together to deal with the approaching beast.
"That alien beast is of average strength. I can handle it by myself." Wang Jing did not change her mind and asked her colleagues to protect the researcher, and then she jumped out of the cave.
"Crack." There were some dry branches on the ground. After Wang Jing came out of the cave, she stepped on the dry branches and made some noise.
The alien beast in the distance felt very happy when it saw its prey coming out of the cave on its own initiative.
It kept roaring just now in order to drive the prey out of the cave.
The reason for this is because the alien beast itself is huge and cannot exert its full power when entering the cave.
As long as the prey is driven out of the cave, the alien beast, which is very confident in its hunting ability, feels that it can kill the prey in a few clicks.
Wang Jing didn't plan to fight around the cave where she would spend the night tonight. She chose a direction and ran forward quickly.
"Roar..."
The alien beast expected that the prey would run away with all its strength, and calmly jumped out of the grass, kicked its limbs violently on the ground, and chased the prey as fast as flying. .
Wang Jing ran quickly in front, and the strange beasts were chasing after her.
The two sides fled and chased each other, and it didn’t take long for them to run several kilometers away.
Wang Jing stopped and took some rapid breaths.
"Roar...?"
The alien beast did not expect the prey to stop so quickly, and looked at the prey in confusion.
“It’s nice here.”
“The wind blows far away and will not bring the smell of blood to the location of the cave.”
Wang Jing chose to stop at this place because the terrain here affects the wind direction.
She didn't waste a lot of time confronting the alien beast, mobilized the spiritual energy in her dantian, and quickly rushed towards the hungry alien beast.
The battle breaks out.
As soon as the alien beast exchanged a move with Wang Jing, he realized that he was terribly wrong.
"Roar..."
Wang Jing received a punch on his paw and it hurt like hell.
If you really risk your life, you may be killed in just two or three minutes.
The alien beast was so frightened that it turned around and ran away, losing its previous arrogance in catching its prey.
“Now that you are here, don’t leave.”
Wang Jing cannot ensure that the alien beast escapes and will attack again in the middle of the night, so she will not let the alien beast escape. escape.
A pale golden aura bloomed in her hand, and Wang Jing disappeared.
When she appeared again, she was already at the side of the alien beast that was desperately trying to escape.
"Roar..."
I didn't expect that the enemy would be so fast, and the strange beast was so frightened that it lost its mind.
It is already impossible to avoid the attack at this time.
"Bang."
Clenched his fingers into a fist, and hit the alien beast on the head with his psychic fist.
"Crack."
The sound of something breaking was heard, and the huge force knocked the alien beast upside down and hit the big tree in the distance.
"Roar..."
The alien beast that smashed the tree in half fell to the ground, its body twitching, and blood continued to flow from its nose and mouth.
Wang Jing took advantage of the victory to pursue and came to the alien beast. She waved her arms and punched with her left and right hands.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
With a few powerful and heavy fists, the head of the alien beast was blown open, and the twitching body quickly calmed down.
Wang Jing looked at the blood stained on her fists and turned her head to look at the creek not far away.
After taking care of the strange beast, wash your hands and go back to meet your colleagues.
The moon hanging in the sky is reflected on the water, the stream flows slowly, and the moon on the water is undulating.
The sound of rushing water sounded. Wang Jing knelt down and put her blood-stained white hands into the stream to wash them.
The stream water is already cold. After nightfall, the temperature drops, and the water temperature of the cold stream drops further.
“It’s so cold.”
"Fortunately, it's not winter at this time."
Wang Jing quickly washed the blood off her hands. After washing her hands, she also washed her face.
The cold stream water splashing on the face makes people feel cold and invigorating at the same time.
Wang Jing straightened her hair that was wet by the stream, looked at the place where the beast's roar echoed in the distance, and thought that she might not be able to have a good rest in the second half of the night.
Half a minute later.
Wang Jing retracted her gaze from the distance and was about to go back when she found several small trees with fruit more than ten meters away.
I quickly approached and took a closer look. They were all edible wild fruits.
Wang Jing picked a wild fruit from the tree, wiped it casually, and then put it in his mouth.
"Slightly sweet and quite delicious."
"Pick some back and give them a taste."
Wang Jing quickly picked wild fruits, her pockets were full, she grabbed some more in her hands, and then began to quickly return to the cave.
…………
The dark cave is very quiet.
When Wang Jing came back, she greeted her colleagues.
“I’m back.”
"..." There was no response in the darkness. If Wang Jing hadn't been sure that all her colleagues were there, she might have thought that she had found the wrong cave.
"Why don't you speak?" Wang Jing asked doubtfully.
"..." Several people still did not respond.
"Huh?" Wang Jing noticed something was wrong. She put the wild fruit in her hand on the ground and walked into the cave.
As her eyes adapted to the dark environment, she could vaguely see someone lying on the ground. Several people.
Wang Jing had bad thoughts in her heart, and she immediately took out a small lamp from her backpack.
Press the light switch and a bright light appears, suddenly dispelling the darkness in the cave.
“Not good.”
Wang Jing took a glance and found that there were only four investigators in the cave.
“Wake up quickly.”
Shouting and shaking, the four investigators lying on the ground woke up one after another.
Their faces were full of sleep. After waking up, they looked at Wang Jing, very confused.
"Captain, are you back?"
Wang Jing said with a serious face, "I asked you to protect him, why did you fall asleep?"
"Huh? "When several investigators heard this, the sleepiness on their faces disappeared instantly.
They looked at where the researcher was, their eyes widened, and they said in disbelief.
“Where are the others?”
“Why are they missing?”
“Why did we fall asleep just now?”
Although the researcher is also a practitioner, But his strength is not strong.
And because he usually focuses on experiments, he has very little combat experience.
Once you encounter danger, you will definitely be in a hurry, and the probability of something happening is very high.
The four investigators responsible for protecting the researchers got up from the ground, spinning around anxiously.
"What's the use of being anxious now? Please calm down and recall what happened before falling asleep?" Wang Jing took a deep breath, regained her composure, and said to her colleagues.
The investigators participating in the operation this time were all veterans. After hearing Wang Jing’s reminder, their mentality quickly adjusted.
They quickly recalled their memories before the incident and found nothing strange.
Everything is normal, but the researcher is missing. This will happen, and the enemy who takes action is very powerful.
