The two found signs of other people's movements outside.
Return to combat mode, make gestures and search the building with Li Xiang.
When he returned to the building from the garage, Li Xiang, who was responsible for lighting the fire, immediately discovered that the number of Xiaoqiang was wrong, and he babbling in a low voice explained to Wang Qi.
Wang Qi frowned, ignored it, and continued to search the building.
As a result, there was no one, the food hidden in Li Xiang's safe house was fine, and the tools seemed to be intact.
Therefore, the garage still played its due role. Xiaoqiang's living area, as the first line of defense of the base, originally had the function of "let the monsters leave as soon as they are full", but this time the target is humans.
Leaving Li Xiang in the building to sort out the supplies he brought back, Wang Qi went downstairs to check for traces.
There were only traces of one person in the courtyard, but not far outside the courtyard there were two people. From the change in the depth of the footprints, it can be seen that there was an action to divide the spoils here.
Following the traces, I noticed something was wrong when I turned a corner.
The traces seemed to be leading him to where the old lady's team was, but could a person really be so stupid as to steal his neighbor's things and go home directly in the heavy snow? Not even dragging a branch to sweep it?
Or did this group of people discover that there were only two people in his house, and their true nature was exposed?
Don’t have random thoughts or preconceptions, just continue to follow the traces.
Then arrived at the hospital.
The hospital's footprints and various imprints are messy, and it's obviously already occupied.
Is it really them?
Wang Qi was not willing to believe it in his heart. After all, in such a bad world, moving with an old lady's team should be considered to have a certain degree of credibility. If they also use stealing as a regular way to obtain food, then The remaining people can basically be judged to be pure pure people.
Whether this family is worthy of continued contact and understanding must have an answer, today, now!
Wang Qi didn't want to wait for dawn, so he used steel bars to knock on the handrails next to the barrier-free passage.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Regular knocking sounds sounded in the early morning, quickly causing commotion in the building.
There is light-shielding treatment, and only a little firelight can occasionally shine through a certain gap in the building, and it disappears quickly.
Wang Qi refused to go in and continued knocking.
Maybe they were deploying defenses inside. We waited for five minutes before someone opened the front door with a torch. At the same time, someone upstairs dropped two burning cloth bags to increase the brightness of the scene. The cloth bags were in the form of torches and seemed to be specially designed with wooden handles. It went straight into the snow, and the fire of the cloth bag was still on the snow.
The person who came out had the most beard I had ever seen.
The bearded man was a little confused when he saw him, and immediately remembered that this evil ghost had killed the mantis monster alone without using a trap, and his muscles tensed up in preparation for the battle.
Seeing the beard in this state, it seems that he didn't expect him to come. Or maybe he didn't expect him to come so quickly?
No need to guess, Wang Qi said:
"Find me the woman with the weakest physical fitness in your team and follow the trail."
After speaking his native language, he made a simple inquiry in the local language: "Explain this."
As he spoke, he pointed at the traces of the pursuit with the steel bar in his hand.
The first one didn't understand, but the second one did. Luo Hu realized what kind of trail he was following. Why was it at night? what happens?
Remaining vigilant, the bearded man looked at the traces pointed by the other party.
When they went out to hunt and chop wood, they always came and went through this place. There really wasn't much to see. When Varya tried to follow the traces to get around Wang Qi, Wang Qi moved.
He grabbed the steel bar and made a motion to block the road: "It's not you."
If the thief was really from this family, he would have to leave all those with high combat effectiveness at the scene and select the ones with the weakest physical ability to ensure Li Xiang's safety.
Varya stared at him coldly, and Wang Qi looked at each other calmly.
Holding the end of the four kilogram steel bar and holding it flat, the tip of the steel bar did not shake at all. A knowledgeable hunter could already see the deterrent effect.
Without much hesitation, Varya gave in. Their team must not start a fight with the guy in front of them. No one can guarantee that they will not suffer attrition when dealing with this kind of humanoid monster, and they can no longer afford to attrition, even if only two people are seriously injured. They may not be able to make it through this winter.
"Ana, come out."
Although I didn't understand the meaning of Night Walker's first sentence, it can be seen from his subsequent actions that he needs a weaker person to check to avoid putting his base in danger.
It would be risky to let Anna go out alone, but there were only Lin and her mother in the base, and those two were not there at all. It was better for Anna to go alone than to let Lin go with her.
Anna soon appeared, also holding a torch in her hand, and Varya leaned over and whispered.
Wang Qi has increased his hearing and vision attributes in the past few days, and he can understand the parts without any problems. No abnormalities have been found yet when observing his expressions.
Anna spoke, first saying hello in Qin dialect, and then saying slowly in her native language: "'Hello', I don't know what happened, but please stay calm before I come back."
Anna was deeply impressed by the night ghost in front of her. She could understand Varya's tense state very well. Regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, it was always good to try to comfort him.
Wang Qi didn't reply, but tilted his head and asked her to move quickly.
Anna came closer and seemed unable to distinguish which trace it was, so Wang Qi pointed it out for her.
After she left, Wang Qi and Varya looked at each other.
Varya would never invite monsters into the room; Wang Qi had to prevent anyone inside from escaping through other passages.
The walking distance of four hundred meters is not far, but it is not close in the snow. Anna came back a full hour later. The torch had long been extinguished. What she was using seemed to be a hand-cranked flashlight with very low brightness. She walked The speed is much slower, and it seems that I really have night blindness.
Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief when Li Xiang didn't show up. He was afraid that Li Xiang would follow this woman. The exposure of her child's body would easily make people guess that they were the only ones in the base. He could relax only when he was stronger.
Anna looked ugly, gave Wang Qi an apologetic smile, walked around and said to Varya: "Their home was invaded, and the traces went directly from their garage to the door."
As he spoke, he pointed to the point where the traces disappeared, right in front of the stairs under the rainproof roof of the main entrance.
Without waiting for Varya to respond, Anna said to Wang Qizhi: "If someone wants to frame us, we will definitely find him. Please believe me."
Wang Qi understood "what to look for" and "believe", estimated the meaning of the whole sentence, and asked: "Time."
The other party didn't see any guilt in the whole process. Maybe it was because he acted well. Wang Qi didn't want to wrongly accuse someone and knew that if he couldn't fight today, he would have to go home and sleep, so he asked how long the investigation would take.
Anna stretched out a slap in the face: "Five days, within five days we will find out who it is, but I can't guarantee that we will be able to help you get your things back."
Anna felt ashamed after saying this, but this was the case in the wasteland. Without a desperate plan, it would be difficult to get back the supplies that others had already acquired.
Wang Qi knew the time, but he didn't understand it later, but he could guess that they would either accept the compensation themselves, or take him to find the thief. They would definitely not risk injury to help him get Xiaoqiang back.
Five days later, I guess I was already sick by that time, and even cutting my hands would not relieve my anger.
I was so annoyed that I came back.
"I'll wait for you." Wang Qi turned back after leaving a few words.
Just after turning a corner, I saw Li Xiang's little face in the darkness.
He smiled and walked over to touch Li Xiang's tender face: "Well done."
She knew it was good to follow rather than expose herself.
Li wanted to know that he was praising her. He raised the corners of his mouth and secretly felt the warmth of the madman's palm.
