Gecko turned the car around and shone the lights in the direction of the bloody smell.
Then he got out of the car with Lu Xin with a solemn look and looked in the direction of the headlights.
The weather was a little gloomy, and the red moon was looming behind the clouds.
It had just rained, and the air was a little humid, so the fresh smell of blood seemed even stronger.
It was dark all around, and the light of the headlights hit the wilderness beside the road, which seemed hazy. It can be seen that when the dazzling light of the car hit it, the wild grass kept shaking, and it seemed that there were many living things in it that turned their heads fiercely.
"Maybe it's a wild dog or something..."
Gecko raised his hand and fired a shot at the wild grass.
The wild grass in the distance shook for a while, as if there were some wild beasts running around in it.
After a while, the movement inside disappeared, and there was a strange silence.
But behind the wild grass, they could feel that there were many eyes staring at them vigilantly and fiercely.
"Be careful, there are all kinds of things in the wilderness..."
The gecko muttered, and then he and Lu Xin slowly pushed aside the weeds and walked inside.
The closer they got, the stronger the smell of blood became, and the gecko subconsciously frowned.
He glanced at Lu Xin and found that Lu Xin's face was still as calm as ever.
There was no curiosity about the strange blood on his face, nor was there any fear of the weeds that were almost one person tall...
It was very calm.
...
...
"Who is the novice..."
The gecko muttered in his heart.
The two pushed aside the weeds and came to the place where the blood smell came from in the sight of the wild dogs staring at them in the depths of the weeds around them.
At a glance, there were red clumps of flesh and internal organs, scattered in the weeds.
It looked like a mess, with tooth marks on it, which should have been bitten by a wild beast and eaten half.
…
…
"It's the internal organs..."
After taking a look, the gecko's scalp tightened slightly and he whispered.
Lu Xin nodded, then carefully distinguished it and said, "It should be human, more than one."
"Why did you tell it was human at a glance?"
A question arose in the gecko's mind, but he held it back and didn't ask it.
He just observed the surroundings and confirmed that there were no other creatures except wild dogs and cats, so he wondered, "Why would human internal organs be abandoned here? It seems that there are no other remains around, which means that there are only internal organs here."
It is difficult to connect such a scene with his own tracking mission when he saw it suddenly.
But Lu Xin believed that when his mother said "found it", she meant that these internal organs must be related to the person they were tracking.
So he frowned slightly and said, "Isn't there a puppet-type ability user in that knight group?"
"You mean..."
After hearing this, the gecko reacted immediately. He didn't know how Lu Xin connected the two, but he still thought about it and said, "The trademark of puppet-type ability users is to control mental cyborgs, so they are making... cyborgs?"
Lu Xin nodded, carefully recalling the information he had seen along the way, and said, "The information given to us by the research institute includes the dissection of the mental cyborgs who attacked Satellite City No. 2. It was found that those mental cyborgs had been stripped of unnecessary internal organs, leaving only the most basic brain and heart. This seems to be a standard production method."
The gecko looked at Lu Xin in surprise: "So..."
Lu Xin whispered: "He lost a lot of mental cyborgs in Satellite City No. 2 and needs to be replaced."
"In addition..."
He paused and said, "I think we can report to the main city that our two missing agents have been found."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of cloth from the ground.
It was a special cloth mixed with glass fiber, and it was obviously a product of the high-walled city.
Many agents in the city wore clothes made of similar cloth.
Gecko fell silent for a moment, and took a serious look at the patches of bright red on the ground.
The two agents suddenly disappeared while tracking the Knights, and their life and death are unknown until now.
It is reasonable to guess that they are most likely in the hands of the Knights.
The puppet-type ability users in the Knights need to fill the number of their own mental transformations. In the wilderness, it is not easy to find living people, so the fate of these two agents who fell into their hands is naturally imaginable.
Gecko was in a slightly depressed mood, took a look at the bright red on the ground, and sighed slightly.
He muttered, "How did you think of this so quickly?"
Lu Xin said naturally, "It's all written in the information given to us..."
Gecko: "..."
He also scanned the information, but suddenly, he didn't think of it with the scene in front of him.
Of course, this may also be because he was busy driving.
Lu Xin was sitting in the co-pilot seat, studying the information very seriously.
Feeling a little depressed, he sighed slightly and hesitated, "Then what about us now..."
"They are all our own people..."
Lu Xin was silent for a while and said, "Take them back!"
"What?"
Gecko was a little confused and looked at Lu Xin with a strange look in his eyes: "Isn't it better to bury them on the spot...?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly reacted.
Looking at the deep grass around him, the gloomy eyes of each one, he sighed helplessly.
With so many wild beasts around, even if they are buried, they will be dug out.
If it is burned, gasoline will be needed, which is an extremely luxurious behavior in the wilderness.
So, he could only stare at Lu Xin in a daze, with a helpless look on his face.
Then Lu Xin turned his head and looked at him.
You look at me, I look at you...
The gecko couldn't help it and trembled: "What's the matter?"
Lu Xin said: "In our special operations team, it seems that I am the captain and you are the deputy captain?"
The gecko nodded blankly: "Yes, what's the matter?"
Lu Xin pointed to the internal organs on the ground and said: "Deputy captain, please collect our agents."
The gecko finally understood and looked at Lu Xin stupidly.
Lu Xin nodded to him.
I have to say that the feeling of being a captain is actually quite good.
When he dealt with the super-large mental monster under the south wall, he knew that he would definitely be promoted faster than the gecko.
However, I didn't expect it to rise so quickly at that time...
...
...
Under the order of the team leader Lu Xin, the deputy captain Bihu finally executed the order.
He returned to the car helplessly, took out two special body bags from it, and then put on three masks, endured the discomfort, and put the two "colleagues" into the bags one by one. Since the captain of his special operations team, Lu Xin, was watching next to him, he didn't even dare to be lazy, and even collected the few pieces of meat around him, and stood up in the angry barking of wild dogs.
"Ugh..."
After putting the two bags in the trunk, he finally couldn't help vomiting.
Lu Xin kindly poured him a glass of water, and then looked up at the distance while waiting for him to finish vomiting.
In the car, my mother also looked at that direction quietly.
"It should be there, right?"
Lu Xin talked to himself, and my mother in the car couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said.
…
…
"I say, how did you find these two colleagues..."
After vomiting, the gecko washed his hands several times, then got back into the car and collapsed in the driver's seat. It took him a while to recover. Looking at Lu Xin, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat and looking at the west thoughtfully, he asked weakly.
"Not only did I find my colleagues, but those people should not be far away."
Lu Xin said, looking at the southwest direction, using a guessing sentence, but his tone was very certain.
"Is there any gathering point in that direction?"
He said slowly: "They may be there now..."
"..."
"There..."
The gecko took a look and hurriedly took out the map. After a slight comparison, his expression was a little confused.
"I am now, really..."
"Brother, are you a spider or a fortune teller..."
"..."
Following the direction Lu Xin was looking at, the gecko did find a gathering point.
On the map, this is an area painted red, with several routes to enter this place clearly marked around it, and a small submachine gun logo on it, which is very eye-catching.
Its name is Blackwater Town.
"In the middle of the night in this wilderness, you said it accurately in one sentence, which is a bit too..."
The gecko said confusedly: "... God, right?"
Lu Xin looked at him with a strange look and said: "Didn't you notice that the sky there is slightly red?"
"That should be caused by the reflection of the light. Isn't the place with light a gathering point?"
"..."
"Uh..."
The gecko looked at Lu Xin's eyes that looked like a fool, and his face almost blushed.
He hurriedly changed the subject as if nothing had happened, and said seriously: "But if those people are really hiding here, it would be a bit troublesome."
"You see, this place is a relatively large gathering point for wanderers around Qinggang, and it is also one of the largest black markets around."
As he spoke, he slowly recalled, "At the beginning of the disaster, there used to be a small town with a lot of oil reserves here, so it attracted a lot of people to come here and named it Blackwater Town. Now, the oil reserves here should have been sold out long ago, but because of its fame, it has become a place where many people exchange supplies."
"If those people are hiding here, we have to be prepared to deal with the leader of the Knights here."
"Be careful, the armed forces of this broken place are probably comparable to our patrol army."
"..."
Lu Xin took a look at the map and asked curiously: "This place is only a day's journey from Qinggang, how dare they be so brave?"
It only takes less than a day's journey from Qinggang to the gathering point, and it is so fierce?
When the gecko heard this, he laughed subconsciously: "See, you don't understand either..."
