"Are you sure he won't leave somewhere else when you're not paying attention?"

When a group of veteran drivers became nervous, Lu Xin also frowned slightly and stepped forward to ask.

"Absolutely not!"

The old driver swore confidently and explained in an extremely anxious manner, "I was hoping to borrow his money. I was just thinking about how to speak, but I was embarrassed to be heard by others. Of course I had to wait for him here. I really didn't see him coming out... If you want to go from other places, you can climb out of the wall over there, but Old Li Why... don't you have to climb over the wall to escape when you want to go to the toilet?"

"Maybe it's because he doesn't want to lend you money, but he's too embarrassed to refuse?"

Lu Xin was thinking about this problem in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he silently thought about other possibilities.

At this time, Little Zhou also walked around the toilet and came out, whispering, "Little Lu Brother, I am very sure that Old Li did not climb out of the wall over there. There is a thick layer of plaster on the wall. No matter who climbs over the wall, they will definitely get all over themselves..."

Lu Xin nodded slightly, he also believed that it was unlikely to leave over the wall.

At this time, there was a roar from the crowd behind, and Sister Gao at the head of the car had already heard the news and came over.

After asking about Old Li's disappearance, her face suddenly became wary and she immediately turned to look at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin met her gaze and nodded slightly.

Gao Ting turned pale, bit his lip, and shouted, "Don't make any noise, don't disperse to find someone, first..."

"...Count the heads!"

She made a decision. "Right away, see if anyone else is missing anything."

All the veteran drivers were stunned for a moment. You look at me, and I look at you. They are all here, how could they be missing?

But they had to listen to what the driver said. Sun Gouzi and others immediately blew the whistle, and in this compound, they called everyone over and counted them one by one on the list. Because we lost a lot of people when we were at White Tower Town, it would be a little troublesome to count them now. It is necessary to compare the survivors one by one with the drivers gathered at the scene through roll call.

"Liu Daqiang..."

"Arrived!"

"Meng Tuzi..."

"Arrived!"

"Zhang Sankuang?"

"Leave it here..."

"..."

As Sun Gouzi called the roll call, Gao Ting and Lu Xin were also silently observing the number of people present. When the count was about to come to the end, Gao Ting's face suddenly faded. Although Lu Xin didn't know the survivors in the convoy as well as she did, he was aware of the problem. He remembered that when the convoy left White Tower Town, there were thirty-seven people who survived, but now, only thirty-one were counted.

The only ones who were not named were Gao Ting at the front of the car and Sun Gouzi himself.

After adding them all up, there were only thirty-three. So, where did the remaining four go?

"The car... the front of the car..."

When a driver saw this, he raised his hand tremblingly. "Tian Niu Zi took advantage of you to go back to your room to rest, and ran to wash your hair..."

When Gao Ting heard this, his eyes stood up and he cursed fiercely, "Didn't I tell you all to stay here?"

"I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen..."

The driver said with a sad face, "He, he said he was fast and would be back in half an hour."

"Fuck."

The driver at the front of the car, Gao Ting, spat fiercely on the ground and cursed fiercely, "Don't panic yet. We will follow my arrangements later and we will find the people together. Now, let's take a look at the missing people and when they disappeared. Remember when was the last time you saw them."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, and took two steps closer to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin saw what she wanted to ask, shook her head slightly, and said, "I have never seen such a thing, but I know that some people can do some seemingly unbelievable things, so what can be done now is not to panic."

As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is what I deal with in Qinggang, so..."

He smiled at Gao Ting and said, "I will try my best to help you find them!"

"..."

Although Lu Xin didn't give her any guarantee, the driver's heart still felt slightly relieved.

She nodded to Lu Xin and whispered, "I'm not very good at saying nice things, but this is what I owe you."

"Just don't pay with your flesh..."

Lu Xin muttered in his heart, but did not dare to say it out.

The atmosphere is not suitable. If you try to be skinny at this time, it may be offensive...

"At the front of the car, they remembered..."

Sun Gouzi soon led three people over and said, "They were almost the last ones to see those two people."

After asking carefully, I found out that someone had met the person named Bai Zhua during lunch, and had a discussion with others about the coquettish motel proprietress. After finishing the meal, she said she wanted to go back to the room to relax for a while, and no one saw her again after that.

There were also a few people who came together to play cards. One person named Chen Laodong lost ten dollars and said he would wash his hands and come back to play.

He also disappeared without a trace, and these people suspected that he was deliberately hiding and defaulting on his debts.

These people who disappeared were almost like this. They were talking and laughing at first, but as soon as they turned around, they were gone.

"How could it be so evil?"

The driver Gao Ting at the front of the car had obviously seen strong winds and waves, but at this time he was a little at a loss.

Lu Xin At this time, he couldn't answer her question.

Did these people leave voluntarily through some unknown method, or did they really just disappear out of thin air?

If they disappeared out of thin air, then what kind of ability user was it and what method was used to make them disappear?

Seeing Lu Xin deep in thought, Gao Ting at the front of the car also gritted his teeth slightly.

Lu Xin can slowly think about the problems here, but she can't as the driver, and the people around her are already a little panicked.

Gritting her teeth, she shouted, "Go to the front desk of the hotel to check the surveillance first, and then find someone to call Tian Niu Zi back..."

"Two of you go together so we can take care of you!"

"..."

Although the veteran drivers in the team were still a little panicked, they finally had something to do and agreed loudly.

Sun Gouzi immediately arranged for people to do it separately. For insurance, three people worked in groups.

Others also gathered together and went back to their rooms to see if anyone was sleeping in the room.

They quickly dispersed to do some busy work, and then hurried back to report, "I checked the front desk surveillance, but these surveillance cameras were worried about someone stealing the car and unloading the wheels, so they only took pictures of the parking area, and no one could be seen. I looked at the gate location, but I only saw Tian Niu Zi sneaking out, and Old Li and the others didn't even see a shadow, which means they didn't leave the hotel at all..."

"I went to the place where I had my hair washed and asked. They said Tian Niu Zi left within ten minutes, but he never came back."

"I've searched every room, but there's no one there..."

"..."

While the car driver and Lu Xin were thinking seriously, suddenly there was a scream from the crowd.

Everyone turned to look, and saw that the person speaking was a thin driver, who seemed to be named Meng Tuzi. He turned to look around him as if he had seen a ghost, but there was clearly no one there. The people around him were frightened by his expression, and no one spoke for a while.

"Liang Dawai...Liang Dawai is missing..."

Meng Tuzi stammered and pointed to the open space next to him, "He, he was obviously still here just now..."

When Gao Ting heard this, his expression changed drastically. "When did you disappear?"

"Just... just now..."

Meng Tuzi almost cried out of fear, "I was talking to him just now, but as soon as I turned around, he was gone."

As he spoke, he subconsciously pushed his way into the crowd, but everyone around him backed away in fear.

"How is it possible..."

There was already some vibrato in the voice of Gao Ting at the front of the car.

Lu Xin did not speak in a hurry, but raised his head and looked at that location. To an outsider, one could only see a faint flash of blue light on the lens of his left eye. From his perspective, a bunch of data and a flashing red frame had popped up on the lens. However, he quickly checked the location Meng Tuzi just pointed at, and found that there was nothing abnormal there, neither spiritual radiation nor any monsters.

Lu Xin frowned and looked at the wall next to him.

My sister was hanging upside down and crawling on the wall. Her little head was full of question marks. It was obvious that she didn't notice anything.

This is interesting...

"At least we can be sure now that we did encounter something strange..."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Xin looked around calmly and said to Gao Ting, "Gather the people together first!"

"I think what I need to consider now is not how to find those missing people, but to ensure that others will not disappear under my nose."

The third update should be in the evening. I will update 10,000 words today. I originally wanted to update more, but I couldn't resist it. I had an inexplicable severe cold. I kept sneezing yesterday. I don't know if someone was thinking about me or scolding me. Today, I have a severe nasal congestion and my head is feeling dizzy. In the afternoon, I considered taking some cold medicine. I don't usually take this because taking cold medicine will make me sleepy and I can't write. However, this time it was a bit heavy and I didn't dare to put it off.
