Duan Mufeng stood in front of the window, lit a cigarette, and took a long drag, his face serious.
He had carefully inspected the body and found no external injuries, including scratches and bites, except for the eyes filled with fear and pain.
What can be concluded is that he was not attacked by mutants and mutant beasts. The only explanation seems to be the geothermal energy space station!
Moreover, he remembered what Xu Qing said just now!
It is possible that the team member came to his room with a gun and wanted to kill him while being mentally controlled, but Xu Qing accidentally ran into him.
Neither Tang Jun nor Wu Jun, who were standing behind Duan Mufeng, spoke first, and their faces were a little solemn. After all, another person died, which made them stretched with fewer and fewer manpower.
"Feng Shuai, what happened?"
After a long time, Wu Jun finally couldn't help but ask.
Duan Mufeng was silent for a while, turned around and glanced at the two people in front of him, slowly sat on the sofa, and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.
"Do you still remember the bones of the geothermal energy space station?"
Duanmu Feng paused and asked lightly.
After hearing Duan Mufeng's words, Tang Jun and Wu Jun were stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at each other.
"That's right! The person who said he saw a white skeleton flashing away from behind was none other than Xiao Zhang!"
Tang Jun said in surprise, his heart tightening.
Xiao Zhang was the member of the Tianlong Guard who was shot dead by Duan Mufeng just now when he returned to the safe house in despair!
"I also remembered it, but we didn't see anything at the time. Could it be related to the bones?!"
Wu Jun frowned and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"If it is true, as Xu Qing said just now, that Xiao Zhang was standing at my door with a loaded gun in the middle of the night, then he must have come to kill me."
"But why did he do this? Doesn't he know that he can't be my opponent at all? If he knows, why does he dare to come to the door with a gun blatantly?"
"I checked his body, and there was nothing abnormal except for those frightened and struggling eyes!"
"If my guess is correct, his mind has been controlled!"
Duanmu Feng said lightly while thinking deeply.
"By the way, I remembered that after we came back from the space station, he became a little distracted and very abnormal. I thought he was frightened, so I didn't think much about it!"
Tang Jun also suddenly realized it and said with some self-blame.
Maybe if he told Feng Shuai about this earlier, there would still be room for change.
"You mean, this matter has something to do with the space station?!"
"The one who controls Xiao Zhang's mind is the white skeleton that Xiao Zhang saw?!"
Wu Jun frowned and asked in disbelief.
"That's the only explanation."
Duanmu Feng said slowly with a calm face.
After hearing Duan Mufeng's conclusion, both Tang Jun and Wu Jun fell into silence, frowning.
"You two should go back and investigate right away. Ask everyone who has been to the Energy Bureau during the day to see who else saw bones on the road!"
"If you find anyone else has seen you, isolate yourself immediately!"
Duanmu Feng thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Tang Jun and Wu Jun immediately agreed and quickly left the room.
Duan Mufeng sat on the sofa, leaned on the backrest tiredly, and slowly closed his eyes.
What happened tonight was something he had never expected, and it was also something he had never encountered in his life in the apocalypse.
Not long after, news came from Tang Jun and Wu Jun. After confirmation, no one else except Xiao Zhang had seen the white bones.
This sudden and strange incident cast a layer of doubt on the minds of all three of them.
…
after one day.
Outside the safe house.
Five Tianlong Guards with live ammunition are inspecting the defenses. This is the Tianlong Guard's daily task, in order to ensure that no zombies will take the opportunity to enter.
"Look!"
At this moment, one of them suddenly pointed at the street outside the fortification and shouted in horror.
Following the words, the other four people couldn't help but look in the direction, and then their eyes widened.
I saw that the streets outside the fortifications were filled with mutant corpses, and all of them had no heads!
Immediately afterwards, they discovered more and more headless mutant corpses scattered around the perimeter of the fortifications, totaling hundreds of them!
Obviously, there must have been a fierce battle here last night, but they found nothing, and the staff on duty didn't find anything!
This is unreasonable!
"Go and notify Team Tang immediately!"
At this time, one of the patrol members said something solemnly and swallowed nervously.
He is one of the team members who followed the Tang team to the geothermal energy space station!
He thought of the corpses in the space station whose heads had also been removed!
Fifteen minutes later.
Duanmu style office on the top floor.
"Shuai Feng, a large number of mutant corpses were just discovered outside the fortifications. I personally confirmed that their corpses were all torn into pieces, and all of them had no heads!"
"It's almost identical to the headless corpse we saw on the space station that day!"
Tang Jun looked at Duan Mufeng who had gotten up early for morning exercises and said with a solemn expression.
After listening to Tang Jun's report, Duanmu Feng frowned and stopped what he was doing.
"Feng Shuai, what on earth is going on?"
Tang Jun asked hesitantly.
"Don't ask so many questions now. You can notify us immediately and ask everyone to be more alert! If you find any abnormalities, report them immediately!"
"It looks like something dirty is following us back."
Duanmu Feng frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Dirty stuff?! What dirty stuff?!"
Tang Jun was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"We're not sure yet. Stop asking and execute the order immediately!"
Duan Mufeng glared at Tang Jun and said in a deep voice.
Tang Jun had no choice but to agree, and turned around and left the room with full of questions.
After Tang Jun left, Duan Mufeng slowly came to the window, took a deep breath, looked at the gray sky outside, and frowned.
In the dark, he suddenly felt that this apocalypse was somewhat different from the last apocalypse he experienced. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
There are only two days left before the eternal night falls!
But something like this happened again, which undoubtedly imposed an unpredictable variable on everyone in the safe house.
…
Another midnight update.
The guard on the first floor of the safe house was suddenly attacked!
"Shoot! Shoot quickly!"
"Report to Team Tang!"
"Report to Captain Wu!"
"The safe house is under attack, please support!"
"Request support!"
A series of exclamations came from the walkie-talkie, followed by intensive gunshots!
When Tang Jun and Wu Jun heard the call for help, they immediately organized all the Tianlong Guards on the second floor to rush to the first floor!
The deafening gunfire woke everyone in the safe house from their sleep!
Outside the door on the first floor, a member of the Tianlong Guard screamed and fell down, with deep scratches all over his body. Then, under the witness of all the guards at the door, his head was violently torn off!
It was literally torn off the body!
The murderer was a white skeleton without a trace of flesh and blood!
Since they are white bones, they should be the bones left by the dead, but the white bones in front of me seem to be still alive. Not only do they move incredibly fast, they can also kill people!
Like a ghost!
"shot!"
As a sharp shout came, the guards at the door pulled the triggers at the same time, and dense bullets whizzed towards the white skeleton in the air. However, the bullets could not hit it at all, and they were all easily moved around by it. Dodge!
Some bullets even passed through the gaps between its bones!
This strange scene happened to be seen by Tang Jun and Wu Jun who were rushing down from the second floor!
It was only then that they finally believed what Feng Shuai said!
Immediately afterwards, the white bones that had been baptized by the rain of bullets seemed to be irritated, and actually let out a shrill scream! He took quick steps, jumped up, and then swooped down, rushing directly towards the crowd at the door!
"shot!"
Tang Jun shouted, and at the same time, he quickly raised the micro punch in his hand and pulled the trigger at the swooping bones!
The intensive gunshots rang out again, finally hitting the bones!
But then everyone saw that the bullets that hit the bones bounced away like they were hitting the steel plate, unable to hurt the bones at all!
In the blink of an eye, the white skeleton had rushed into the crowd, stretched out his hands to grab one of the team members, and quickly backed away!
"Stop shooting! Stop shooting!"
Seeing that the team members were arrested, Wu Jun hurriedly issued an order in panic, asking everyone to stop shooting!
After retreating ten meters away, Bai Gu grabbed the team member's neck with one of his skinny hands, tilted his head and shook it left and right, as if he was observing the group of frightened guards at the door!
At the same time, a burst of harsh and triumphant laughter broke out!
Its eyes were pitch black, and it seemed that only its eyes had not dried up in its entire body...
