Gecko turned the car around and turned the lights in the direction where the smell of blood came from.
Then he got out of the car with Lu Xin with a solemn expression, and looked in the direction illuminated by the car lights.
The weather was a bit gloomy, and Crimson Moon was looming behind the clouds.
It had just rained and the air was a little moist, so the fresh smell of blood seemed even stronger.
It was dark all around, and the light of the car lights hit the wilderness beside the road, making it look hazy. You could see that when the car's dazzling light passed by, the grass kept swaying, and it seemed that there were many living creatures inside turning their heads fiercely.
"Maybe it's a wild dog or something..."
Gecko raised his hand and fired a shot at the grass.
There was a crash, and the grass in the distance shook, as if some wild beast was running around inside.
After a while, the movement inside disappeared, and there was an eerie silence.
But behind the weeds, one could feel a lot of eyes staring at them vigilantly and fiercely.
"Be careful, there is anything in the wilderness..."
Gecko muttered, and then together with Lu Xin, they slowly pushed aside the weeds and walked inside.
The closer we got, the stronger the smell of blood became, and Gecko even frowned subconsciously.
I peeked at Lu Xin and found that Lu Xin's face still looked as calm as ever.
There was no curiosity about this strange and bloody thing on his face, nor was there any fear of the grass that was almost as tall as a man...
Just very bland.
"Who is the newbie..."
Gecko muttered in his heart.
The two pushed aside the grass, and in the sight of the wild dogs staring at them deep in the surrounding grass, they came to the place where the smell of blood came from.
At first glance, there were red lumps of flesh, blood and internal organs, piled randomly among the grass.
It looked like it was in a mess, with teeth marks on it. It must have been bitten by wild animals and half eaten.
"It's internal organs..."
Gecko After taking a look, his scalp tightened slightly and he whispered.
Lu Xin nodded, then carefully distinguished it, and said, "It should be human, there is more than one."
"Why can you tell it's human at a glance?"
Gecko had a question in his mind, but he held it back and did not ask.
He just observed the surroundings and made sure that there were no other creatures except wild dogs and wild cats. He then wondered, "Why are people's internal organs abandoned here? It seems that there are no other stumps around, which means that there are only internal organs here."
Leng Buding saw such a scene and found it difficult to connect it with his tracking mission.
But Lu Xin believed that when Mom said "found", it 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 order?"
"You mean..."
Gecko reacted immediately after hearing this. He didn't know how Lu Xin connected the two, but he still thought about it and said, "The signature of Puppet-type ability users is to control the mind to transform people, so they are making... transformers?"
Lu Xin nodded, carefully recalling the information he had seen along the way, and said, "The information Research Institute gave us included the dissection of the mentally modified people who attacked Satellite City No. 2. It was found that those mentally modified people had all had their unnecessary internal organs removed, leaving only the most basic brains and hearts. This seems to be a standard production method."
Gecko glanced at Lu Xin in surprise. "So..."
Lu Xin said softly, "He lost a lot of mentally transformed people in Satellite City No. 2 and needs to be replaced."
"In addition..."
He paused and said, "I think I can report to Main City that our two missing agents have been found."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of cloth from the ground.
It is a special fabric fused with glass fiber, and it looks like a product from High Wall City.
Many of the agents in the city wear cloth-like clothes.
Gecko fell silent for a moment and took a serious look at the bright red patches on the ground.
The two agents suddenly disappeared while tracking the knights. Until now, their lives and deaths are unknown.
It is a reasonable guess that they most likely fell into the hands of this knighthood.
The Puppet-type ability users in the Knights needed to supplement their number of spiritually transformed people. Living people were hard to find in the wilderness, so when these two agents fell into their hands, the end could be imagined.
Gecko felt slightly depressed, glanced 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 surprisingly, he didn't even think of it with the scene in front of him.
Of course, this may also be because I am busy driving.
Lu Xin was sitting in the passenger seat and had been studying the information very carefully.
Feeling a little depressed, he sighed slightly and said hesitantly, "Then let's..."
"We are all our own people..."
Lu Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Take them back!"
"What?"
Gecko was suddenly confused and looked at Lu Xin with strange eyes. "Wouldn't it be better to bury it on the spot...?"
Just when he finished saying this, he suddenly reacted.
Looking at the sinister eyes in the surrounding grass, he sighed helplessly.
With so many wild beasts around, even if it is buried, it will be dug out.
And if you burn it, you need to use gasoline. In the wilderness, this is an extremely luxurious behavior.
So, he could only look at Lu Xin with a look of helplessness on his face.
Then Lu Xin also turned to look at him at this time.
You look at me, I look at you...
Gecko couldn't bear it any longer and said in a trembling voice, "What's the matter?"
Lu Xin said, "In our special operations team, it seems that I am the captain, and you are Deputy Captain?"
Gecko nodded blankly. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Lu Xin pointed at the internal organs on the ground and said, "Deputy Captain, please restrain our agents."
Gecko finally understood and looked at Lu Xin stupidly.
Lu Xin nodded to him.
I have to say, the feeling of being the captain is actually quite good.
When he was dealing with the super large Mental Monster under the south wall, he knew that he would be promoted faster than Gecko.
However, I didn't expect it to rise so quickly...
Under the order of squad leader Lu Xin, Deputy Captain Gecko finally executed the order.
He reluctantly returned to the car, took out two special body bags, and then put on three masks. He 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, he didn't even dare to be lazy. He even put away the few pieces of meat around him and stood up amidst the sad and angry screams of the wild dogs.
"Ugh..."
After putting the two bags into the trunk, he finally couldn't help but vomited.
Lu Xin kindly poured him a glass of water, and then looked up into the distance while waiting for him to finish vomiting.
In the car, Mom also looked in that direction quietly.
"That should be right there?"
Lu Xin was talking to himself, and Mom in the car couldn't help but laugh after listening to his words.
"I said, how on earth did you find these two colleagues..."
Gecko finished vomiting and washed his hands several times before getting into the car again and slumped down on the driver's seat. It took him a while to regain his composure. Looking at Lu Xin who was sitting in the passenger seat and looking thoughtfully at the west position, he asked feebly.
"Not only have I found my colleagues, but those people should not be far away either."
Lu Xin looked to the southwest and said, using a guessing sentence pattern, but his tone was very certain.
"Is there any gathering point in that direction?"
He said slowly, "They may be there now..."
"..."
"There..."
Gecko took a glance at it and hurriedly took out the map. After comparing it for a while, he looked a little confused.
"I am really..."
"Brother, are you Spider-type, or are you a fortune teller..."
"..."
Looking in the direction Lu Xin was looking, Gecko indeed found a gathering point.
On the map, this is an area painted in red. Several routes that can enter this place are clearly marked around it. There is also a small submachine gun logo on it, which looks very eye-catching.
Its name is Blackwater Town.
"It's so late in the middle of the night in this wilderness that you can say it accurately in one sentence. This is a bit too..."
Gecko said in confusion, "... Isn't it amazing?"
Lu Xin glanced at him with a strange expression and said, "Didn't you notice that the sky over there is slightly red?"
"That should be caused by light mapping, right? Isn't the place with lights a gathering point?"
"..."
"Um..."
Gecko looked at Lu Xin's eyes like a fool, and his face almost turned red.
He hurriedly changed the subject as if nothing had happened, and said seriously, "But if those people are really hiding here, they will be in some trouble."
"You see, this place is a relatively large homeless gathering place around Qinggang, and it is also one of the largest black markets in the surrounding area."
As he spoke, he slowly recalled, "During the disaster the Beginning, there used to be a small town here with a lot of oil stocks, so it attracted a lot of people and named it Blackwater Town. Now, the oil stocks here should have been sold out long ago, but because of its reputation, 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."
"But be careful. The armed forces of this poor place may soon be comparable to our City Patrol Army."
"..."
Lu Xin took a look at the map and asked strangely, "It's only one day's journey from Qinggang, how dare they be?"
It only takes less than a day to drive from Qinggang to a gathering point, so how powerful is it?
Gecko laughed subconsciously when he heard this, "Look, you don't understand either..."
