"Dr. Yang, calm down. What happened? Please tell me slowly." Wang Nanming handed Dr. Yang a bottle of water. Dr. Yang slowly calmed down. While cleaning the wound on his arm with water, he began to talk about what he just said. Things that happened.
Just ten minutes ago, Dr. Zhang suddenly had a stomachache for some unknown reason, but in the wilderness here, he pulled Dr. Yang out of the camp and found a secluded place to start solving the problem.
"Old Zhang, what did you eat? Why is it so smelly?" Dr. Yang pinched his nose. The smell was really too strong and he couldn't bear it.
"Oh, didn't I have a vacation two days ago? My grandson said that he has learned good cooking and insisted on cooking it for me. Do you think I can refuse him?" Dr. Zhang sighed: "Who knows the outcome? The kid learned it from the cartoon and put in half a pack of chicken essence. After I finished it, I spent several days in the bathroom."
"Then you are still here to participate in this mission?" Dr. Yang was puzzled. You are already like this, why are you here to participate in this mission?
"Didn't I think I was fine? But who knows, just after eating a few bites of compressed biscuits, my stomach started to feel uncomfortable. I guess it was caused by the huge temperature difference in the desert." Dr. Zhang sighed repeatedly, but then he was horrified. The voice came from the other side: "Lao Yang, help me, something is grabbing my feet, and there are more than one!"
Dr. Yang heard the words and immediately walked over, but in the end he could only see the drag marks on the ground and Dr. Zhang’s fresh drop...
Then, Dr. Yang felt a pain in his arm, as if something was biting him. But when he lowered his head and looked, there were only two bloody holes on his arm, and the culprit who caused the wound was nowhere to be seen.
"Old Yang, save me!"
Dr. Zhang's voice sounded again, this time coming from all directions, as if several Dr. Zhangs appeared at the same time.
Finally, Dr. Yang couldn't stand the terrifying atmosphere, so he turned around and ran back, asking for help from everyone.
After hearing what Dr. Yang said, everyone was confused. They didn't even see what the other person looked like? The wound still appears inexplicably?
Lin Lin stepped forward to check the wound on Dr. Yang's arm, and at the same time asked in his mind: "System, can you feel the breath of Ziwei Universe?"
"This person's wound is not contaminated with the aura of Ziwei Universe."
There's none? Lin Lin frowned, then this would be a bit troublesome. He originally thought that it was the mysterious creature in the Ziwei universe that was causing trouble, and he could rely on the system to find it, but now, he had to find it himself.
Taking out the firearm from his backpack, Lin Lin said: "Everyone, take your weapons. Li Xi, Qin Fang, you are responsible for protecting the safety of the remaining two researchers. Wang Nanming, you and I will find the missing Dr. Zhang."
"What about me?" Dr. Yang was stunned. Lin Lin's order did not mention what he should do. Moreover, there were only four researchers and four guard soldiers in total. With such an allocation by Lin Lin, wouldn't he still have to do it? Do you have to go through it again?
Lin Lin glanced at Dr. Yang and said, "You will be responsible for leading the way with us. When we get there, Wang Nanming will protect you when you come back. I will track Dr. Zhang alone."
"Then...well, Mr. Wang, you have to protect me. It was really scary. Lao Zhang was caught without even seeing a shadow. I was bitten, leaving two tooth marks. "Dr. Yang approached Wang Nanming flatteringly.
"Dr. Yang, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you." Wang Nanming patted his chest confidently.
But Lin Lin didn't think so. It was really strange. What creature on earth could unknowingly leave something on someone else's body to go upstairs? What's more, the system also said that there is no aura of Ziwei Universe.
Then, there is only one answer, alien life forms.
Under the leadership of Dr. Yang, the three people quickly arrived at the location of the incident.
Lin Lin carefully checked the traces on the ground. Apart from the footprints made by the panicked Dr. Yang and Dr. Zhang who was here to solve the stomach problem, there was only a strange footprint left.
From a human perspective, the footprints are 3 meters apart, and each time they land on their front toes.
Calling Wang Nanming and Dr. Yang, Lin Lin pointed to the strange footprints and asked, "What does this look like to you?"
Wang Nanming stared at the footprints carefully for a long time and replied: "It looks like they moved by jumping, and there were two wounds like tooth marks on Dr. Yang's body."
"This!" Wang Nanming suddenly reacted and stammered: "Why does this look so like a zombie? It bites people to suck blood."
After that, Wang Nanming hurriedly walked to Dr. Yang, checked the wound again and again, and asked: "Dr. Yang, are you okay with your health? Do you feel anemic?"
"Ah? No, I feel very good now and am in great spirits." Dr. Yang smiled, and then did a backflip on the spot to prove that nothing happened to him.
"Stop guessing, Wang Nanming. You take Dr. Yang back first. I'll follow the traces and take a look. You guys will wait for me at the temporary camp. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" After Wang Nanming saluted Lin Lin, he took Dr. Yang and started to return. But with his trembling look, anyone could tell that he was nervous.
"Very good, then let's go see that side." After the two left, Lin Lin also began to follow the drag marks on the ground and began to walk deeper.
Following the traces, Lin Lin went deeper and deeper into the basin. At first, he could barely see the road ahead by relying on the moonlight, but in the end he had no choice but to turn on his portable flashlight.
"Wang Nanming, Wang Nanming, can you receive it? Please reply if you receive it."
I don't know when the electronic equipment started to lose its function. Even the most advanced walkie-talkies could only hear the sound of electric current and were completely unusable.
Lin Lin's mecha was naturally unusable, and now the only one who could talk to Lin Lin normally was the system.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Lin felt a little tired, so he stopped and wanted to talk to the system.
"System, do you think I will be in danger?"
"System, are there any treasures here? Some gold, jewelry, etc."
"system……"
Finally, the system couldn't stand Lin Lin's nagging and exploded: "Does the host regard this system as some kind of tree hole? Ask me any questions. I'm also very busy, do you know that?"
"Hey, you finally spoke. I thought you couldn't use it anymore." Lin Lin mocked.
"Host, please don't confuse me with those low-level electronic products. This is an insult to me. I have the right to temporarily withhold your mission rewards." The system ignored the sarcasm in Lin Lin's words, and instead treated Lin Lin with rewards. Make threats.
"What?" Lin Lin was shocked, could he still play like this? Aren't you supposed to be fair and impartial? Private matters and official matters should be separated.
"That won't work. The grudge between us belongs to both of us. The mission reward is the mission reward. That can't be beyond our authority." Lin Lin smiled and said: "Okay, don't bother me looking for someone. Even if I can't find anyone alive, we We have to take the body back as well.”
system:"???"
Didn't you come to make fun of me first? Are you blaming me now?
"In view of the host teasing the system, this system has decided to suspend the use rights of the host Lin Lin for one day, starting immediately."
After saying that, the system's voice disappeared from Lin Lin's mind and no longer appeared no matter how Lin Lin shouted.
"Are you really angry? What kind of program does this look like? Is there a programmer controlling it behind the scenes?"
After a friendly conversation with the system, Lin Lin felt that he was almost rested, so he got up and continued to follow the dragging traces until he reached an abandoned town.
The dragging traces stopped abruptly after entering the town, and the entire town also looked particularly eerie under the occasional moonlight.
Lin Lin stood outside the town and looked inside. The entire town was like a beast hiding in the darkness, its mouth wide open, waiting for Lin Lin to enter and devour it with its bones.
Although Lin Lin didn't want to go in, he had to muster up the courage to go in because of the missing Dr. Zhang.
"Lin Lin, you have to calm down. Isn't this a deserted and a bit eerie town? You are a master who has defeated so many aliens, and there is Jiang Chen waiting for you to find him. You can't be here. Give up." Lin Lin thought to himself as he went from house to house looking for Dr. Zhang.
After searching several buildings, Lin Lin failed to find Dr. Zhang until he came to the last building and heard a familiar voice.
[The host triggers a random mission-Rescue Dr. Zhang Feng]
[Task Tips: Dr. Zhang Feng, who went to the place where Jiang Chen disappeared with the host, was caught by someone unknown in an abandoned town and asked the host to rescue him. 】
[Task reward: none]
…
Zhang Feng should be Dr. Zhang’s full name, but that’s not the point.
The point is, the task was actually triggered.
Lin Lin was surprised. Could it be that the place where Dr. Zhang was captured had something to do with the Ziwei Universe? Otherwise, why would a random mission be suddenly triggered?
Looking at the building door in front of him, Lin Lin slowly pushed it open and walked in.
The inside still looks abandoned for a long time, not much different from the previous building, except that there is an extra secret door on the ground here, and the sand above the secret door is much less than that in other locations.
"It seems that this should be it."
Lin Lin turned over and hid in the corner. Lin Lin wanted to wait here. Maybe someone would come out, so he could catch one and interrogate him.
But Lin Lin waited for a long time, but there was no movement at the secret door. On the contrary, Lin Lin almost fell asleep.
After patting his face, Lin Lin cheered up and walked forward, reaching out to lift the secret door.
There was bottomless darkness below. Lin Lin did not hesitate, turned over and jumped down.
Behind him, further behind the corner where Lin Lin had just been, a voice came out: "The target has been hooked."
