The ten people from Su Mi kept a relatively close distance from each other and inspected the traces left on the scene in the areas of shelves and cashiers.
"Su Mi, look there."
When several people were about to walk into the supermarket, Qin Hao pointed to something pressed under a collapsed shelf.
Rather than saying it is the same thing, Su Mi thinks it is the same living thing. When I got closer, I saw that the thing had five horns. After being pressed under the shelf, one of the horns was broken, but the broken corner was also squirming in place.
Zhang Dingding lifted the shelf to pick it up, but his finger was bitten unexpectedly. He immediately threw it to the ground in pain.
Su Mi stepped on the palm-sized living creature that was trying to escape, carefully pinched its back, picked it up, washed and inspected it.
"Isn't this a starfish?" Su Mi pinched the starfish. The skin on the starfish's back was smooth and had beautiful blue-purple patterns, and there was a trace of fluorescence on the patterns.
Starfish are very beautiful marine creatures. As far as Su Mi knows, bottom-dwelling creatures rarely climb to the shore on their own initiative. It has no legs and relies on many tentacle-like tissues on its abdomen to crawl.
But why are there starfish in the supermarket?
Although this supermarket is close to the Blue Star Sea on the edge, it would probably take several days to climb from the sea below the cross-sea bridge to the supermarket, right?
"Zhang Dingding, are there any seafood sellers or laboratories that research marine life in the park?"
"No, starfish are beautiful in color and have commercial value. In recent years, they have been often overfished by traders. This has led to an extreme reduction in the number of starfish within and outside my country, and has also increased the overproduction of shellfish.
Therefore, it is now prohibited to catch benthic creatures such as starfish, let alone sell them in the park. "
Su Mi held up the starfish pretending to be dead in her hand, "Then where did this thing come from?"
Su Mi thought repeatedly about what Chen Jin said before he disappeared last night, "It's so colorful, as if someone is waving?"
Su Mi actually thought from the beginning that it might be some kind of marine life. After seeing the starfish, the bright colors on its back also fit this description.
However, this starfish moves slowly and has no attack power. It shouldn't have anything to do with Chen Jin's disappearance, right?
Su Mi and her team searched carefully from the beginning to the end of searching all the places in the living area, but there was no trace of anyone at all.
There are no other clues except the salt stains on the ground and the occasional broken leg of a starfish.
"Qin Hao, do you remember the office area we passed by at that time? The door there was locked and the heater was on inside?"
Qin Hao nodded, "Remember, although it was dark and there was no movement around, there should be someone there."
At that time, Chen Jin and Ma Dexiang did not have winter clothes and wanted to find them as soon as possible. Several people who did not know the situation in the building did not choose to break in.
But this time they are here to save people, and they will not let go of any possible clues.
However, when they came to the office area again, they were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they didn't know how to react.
There are only ruins left in the entire office area, and dozens of modern industrial buildings are gone.
"How could this happen?" Su Mi was also confused. So many buildings disappeared so suddenly in just a few days? If it was damaged by external forces, there would have to be some residue, right?
But except for a few broken white walls and steel bars protruding from the ground, the ground in front of me was clean and there was not a single extra brick.
Qin Hao came closer and squatted down to take a look, then stretched out his hand and scraped on the ground.
"Salty smell, salty..."
In an instant, many bad premonitions flooded into everyone's minds.
Su Mi originally wanted to find a commanding point in the park for another sniper to go to the top floor to observe the surroundings of the park. However, now, the highest building is gone, and the office area is like an empty space.
"Look for any place besides the living area that is intact. If not..." Qin Hao said and glanced at the seven soldiers following them, "I'm afraid Chen Jin is in danger."
Su Mi and her group began to move to other areas. The supermarket in the living area was a little messy, but the food and supplies were almost intact.
The houses in the residential area were searched carefully by Su Mi and others, but no one was there. And the tops of several houses, like the buildings in the office area, disappeared, leaving no residue except salt stains. Not even a grain of wall powder.
It was getting dark, and the salty smell from the seaside blew in with a few gusts of sea breeze, making the smell even stronger.
Su Mi and others came to the agricultural and animal husbandry area. This was a place they had never been to last time on their way.
In front of a door at the front, there is a very high-wattage fill light, which makes people feel panicked in the gradually dimming evening.
"This seems to be an agricultural research site. It was used to study the cultivation of fruits and vegetables before the end of the world. At this time, there was still electricity. It seems to have high-power solar energy storage equipment." Zhang Dingding said and looked at Su Mi, "Team leader , let’s go inside and make some repairs. After searching in the industrial area for a whole day, if we don’t even find it here, I’m afraid..."
Su Mi nodded, "Let's go in."
Then, just as Su Mi and the others approached the door, a familiar voice came from inside.
"who!"
Su Mi was stunned for a moment. Qin Hao, Zhang Dingding and others' faces were full of depression from the beginning, but suddenly their eyes became bright.
It was actually Chen Jin’s voice!
"Old Chen, it's me, Zhang Dingding! Also, Team Leader Su and Brother Hao are here to rescue you! Open the door quickly."
Zhang Dingding's voice was very loud, and when Chen Jin heard it, he immediately took action.
The moment he opened the door, he first looked around, then frowned nervously, looking very anxious.
"Come in, come on!"
Su Mi and others didn't know what caused Chen Jin's nervous and serious reaction, but they just quickly entered and closed the door.
Su Mi was about to say something, but suddenly she frowned. There is a sound outside...
Facing his teammates who were all excited to see him, Chen Jin immediately made a gesture of silence, "Don't make a sound."
"Bah, bah, bah..."
"Bah, bah, bah..."
"Bah, bah, bah..."
"Da la da la da la da la..."
Outside the farm, many strange but heart-numbing sounds suddenly appeared from far to near.
Su Mi walked to the door softly and looked out from the window above.
A crab?
No, there are crabs behind this crab, and as the sound gets closer, more and more sea creatures appear outside the farm.
Starfish of all sizes are like a colorful carpet, crawling very fast.
Is this the colorful scene Chen Jin was talking about? So what's up with someone waving?
As crabs, starfish, and even clams crawled towards their position with their tongues sticking out, finally, there was a sea anemone-like creature.
They looked like humans, standing on the back of the largest red starfish. Their two tentacle-like feet were attached to the back of the starfish, standing firmly above the group of marine creatures.
From a distance, one of the sea anemones opened its mouth full of tentacles and spit out a sponge that looked like a human skeleton. The corpus cavernosum is really like a human being with hands and feet waving its arms to you.
Su Mi had long guessed that marine creatures were causing trouble, but she didn't expect there to be so many.
Seafood is coming
You can start the frying pan soon
