On the highway, the convoy started moving again, like a long black dragon speeding by.
The tires ran over and water splashed.
Inside the armored vehicle, Zhang Tie shook his head and hummed an unknown tune.
Wen Ya monitored the entire team as always.
Mo Ling was still sleeping on his side.
On the truck behind the armored vehicle, the students were talking and laughing.
Lin An was soaked to the skin and sat dejectedly in the car.
It's like nothing happened.
Since returning to the car, everyone has returned to normal.
He tried many times, and as long as it didn't involve the issue of missing persons, everyone was normal and could answer his questions smoothly.
They remember everything except the missing people.
Lin An leaned his head against the cold car wall and thought hard.
Of the entire team, he is the only one who still retains the ability to think about the missing people.
This cannot go on.
We must find a way to break the situation...
However, when he thought about people discussing supernatural events in the chat channel of his past life, he felt deeply powerless.
No logic, no clues, no cause and effect, irresistible.
Can you really find a solution yourself?
Although he retained his knowledge of the disappearance due to the inexplicable stimulation, in Lin An's memory he could not remember who disappeared.
Every second, reason is fighting against the weird sense of rationality in my mind.
Take a deep breath.
Lin An tried to piece together the problem in his mind.
He held the handwritten report tightly with both hands and his eyes were firm.
There must be a solution! In other words, there must be a way to avoid disappearance.
Otherwise, there is no reason why the station should not be far away from the town.
According to the report, they discovered the missing person on the fourth day.
Put the discovered problems first.
First of all, the first question is, can this supernatural incident be prevented?
Lin An closed his eyes and thought, and quickly came to a conclusion.
Just because the garrison just chose to evacuate to a nearby place after realizing there was a problem in the town, it means that this supernatural event must have been blocked.
First of all, the garrison must have been destroyed by the mutant attack, and the subsequent survivors escaped to the granary.
The number of reported missing persons is doubling every day. If we go back in time...
As long as the disappearance is not blocked, there will not be so many zombies at the station.
Because by the time Lin An met the corpse in the granary for the first time, the number of missing people should have reached 7,168!
Therefore, the supernatural events must have been blocked.
So the second question.
How did those soldiers discover the missing persons?
The body was found in the stomach...
That means the missing person will die and appear in the form of body parts.
If it is discovered once, it means that the survivors did not eat the corpse and then vomited it out unintentionally.
Otherwise, the description should be: the body of the missing person will be eaten by the survivors, and it will be discovered by us during the eating process, not the stomach.
So...the corpse must have appeared directly in the stomach without logic, and then vomited or exploded and leaked out.
Lin An subconsciously touched his stomach, but there was nothing abnormal.
Under the shroud of his spiritual power, no one's stomach bulged.
Eyes thinking.
Corpse? Not a living person.
Combined with the fact that the missing person was found on the fourth day after arriving at the garrison point, does that explain it?
The missing person will appear in the stomach after death. Before that, they did not die and become corpses, they just disappeared...
In other words, the time from disappearance to death is 4 days.
Suppose...
wrong!
Lin An quickly rejected his idea.
The missing persons were found on the fourth day. Assuming that the number of missing persons is calculated from the bodies pieced together from body parts, then it means that the disappearance on the fourth day means death.
The killing speed of supernatural events is gradually increasing.
【Four days? 】Does it have any special meaning?
After deducing a clue, Lin An continued to piece together the truth.
The third question.
Suppose that the soldiers at the garrison discovered that the disappearance was due to the appearance of the body.
So how do they escape cognitive confusion?
Members of his team have confirmed that they will ignore any information about the disappearance.
So does it mean that the appearance of the corpse will break the cognitive confusion and no longer feel reasonable?
In other words, as long as the body of the missing person is seen, the fact of the disappearance cannot be covered up?
Then [seeing the corpse] should also be a key point, which can break the confusion of thinking.
But the problem is that if this is the case, he does not have the body of the missing person on hand.
It is assumed that the corpse appears on the fourth day, and there is no need to restore thinking and cognition by that time.
Because by the fourth day, the whole team was dead...
Therefore, this method is ineffective, and it is not a way to prevent disappearances.
His fingertips habitually tapped the alloy seat beneath him, and Lin An couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
Reason has been fighting against the weird sense of rationality, which consumes a lot of energy.
Next is the fourth question.
How did he and others trigger the supernatural event?
The army was stationed in the town at first, and then problems arose.
However, Lin An has never entered the town even half a step, and there is no abnormality outside the town, nor in the granary.
So what are the triggering conditions?
Rain?
Lin An murmured to himself, thinking of everyone in the team instinctively avoiding the rain.
"(Why are you standing in the rain? We don't want to stand in the rain anymore...)"
wrong...
It shouldn't be this.
His brows were furrowed.
If it is triggered by rain, or if it is triggered by rain in this area, then the station will not choose to set up a tent nearby.
The rainproof effect of tents is far inferior to that of office building service area buildings.
So, the rain could be a coincidence.
Because when you stand outside, you subconsciously see empty trucks? So others just instinctively avoid standing outside?
Combined with the boy's head being blown off, Lin An chose to cross out this possibility.
Maybe [Rain] is just a clue...
Are there any others?
Lin An sighed tiredly and looked inside the car.
"Lin An?"
"Why do I think you looked so tired after getting in the car?"
Wen Ya slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of concern.
"Would you like to change your clothes and take a nap?"
Lin An smiled bitterly and shook his head, only to catch a glimpse of Mo Ling who was still sleeping from the corner of his eye.
The girl took off her denim jacket and used it as a pillow, sleeping soundly.
He can't discuss ideas with other people now and can only rely on himself.
Otherwise, Lin An was afraid that as he spoke, Wen Ya's head would explode like that boy's due to the mental struggle.
Although I don’t know why I was able to wake up, it must have something to do with will.
Wen Ya also showed signs of struggle, but she failed to dispel the gray mist.
Are there any other suspected triggering conditions?
Stations, towns, zombies, mutants, reports, rain...
Headless baby corpse?
Lin An suddenly remembered the baby body that Mo Ling brought.
After some detection, there were no special traces, so he subconsciously ignored this.
wrong!
Feeling cold all over.
When Mo Ling brought it, he made it clear that the baby's body was dug out of the belly of a zombie. How could he continue to ignore it?
There's definitely something wrong with the headless baby corpse!
It interfered with my thinking and even made me throw myself out of the car subconsciously!
Was the triggering condition because Mo Ling brought back the headless baby?
It seemed like he thought of something.
Lin An's mind was running rapidly, trying to connect the clues together.
Headless baby, conflict between thinking and cognition, fourth day, disappearing and then appearing in the stomach, belly zombie, regaining cognition after seeing the corpse...
Six clues fit together like a spider web.
Lin An thought hard, but always felt that he was only one step away from the truth.
He took a deep breath and stood up suddenly:
"Zhang Tie! Stop the car and return to the town!"
Now that it has been entangled in supernatural events, the only solution is to imitate the garrison point.
Since the soldiers there have found a way to block it, there is no reason why they can't find it themselves!
Go to Danhua Primary School, this key clue must be hidden there!
However, no one answered for a long time.
Lin An seemed to realize something and hurriedly turned to look at the cab.
There was no one in the cab.
"open..."
Stunned in place.
Lin An opened his mouth, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Who am I going to call?
"Lin An? Who are you calling?"
"Who is..."
"Zhang...Tie?"
Wen Ya looked at him doubtfully.
Thunder exploded outside the car, deafening.
Dazzling lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the three people in the car in a flash.
