The crocodile in the lake has not been seen since it dived to the bottom of the lake. No matter what tricks everyone uses, it will ultimately be of no avail. But in the back mountain, where it never rained ten times a year, it has been raining continuously in recent days. Not only that, the tide also began to rise in the inner dormitory in the back mountain. When I woke up early in the morning, the surrounding walls were covered with sweat.
However, the weird phenomenon doesn't stop there. More and more logistics soldiers are missing inexplicably within the legion. As a result, there was an extreme shortage of logistics troops. Even elite soldiers who had never set foot in the back mountains began to be transferred to the back mountains in large numbers for reconnaissance and patrolling.
"It's strange. As soon as the rainy season comes, more and more people are missing. Could it be that the crocodile was injured by us and held a grudge, so he used some magic in the water to secretly capture all the people?" Fang Qing asked doubtfully.
"I looked with an eagle eye and found that this shower of rain only covered the entire back mountain. The area within a radius of twenty miles is still normal." Feiyu said.
"Twenty miles? This range is probably the entire horizontal range of the back mountain. If you guessed correctly, another mutant in the back mountain may have already been dispatched." Ye Xiu frowned and said: "The river we injured Weird, if you can use the method of rain to make so many logistics soldiers disappear, why bother pretending to be logistics soldiers and sneaking into their ranks to kill people?"
"That's right, raining, a skill that consumes a lot of physical strength, requires extremely strong spiritual and physical support. The strength of this mutant is at least level five," Ye Yin said.
"Let's go to the scene and take a look. Maybe we can find something."
Ye Xiu and the others quickly found the dormitory where three roommates had disappeared in a few days. They hoped to find something through conversations with the logistics soldiers and on-site surveys.
The dormitory was very tidy, and the water droplets in the walls continuously flowed out of the walls. They placed face plates under the wall and took no fewer than four plates.
"Where did your roommates go before they disappeared, and what were their daily habits? When did they disappear?" Ye Xiu asked.
"I don't have any other habits. I just can't hold it in at night, so I go to the toilet to smoke. Or, I go fishing in the lake in the back mountain." Logistics soldier A.
"At night! It's usually at night! I watched my brother on the upper bunk go to the toilet in the middle of the night and didn't come back after going for more than an hour! I thought something had happened to him, so I ran to see him, but I didn't expect that inside the toilet No one is there! Tell me, is there a ghost in this toilet?" Logistics Soldier B.
"I didn't go anywhere. The brothers were together every day, either playing cards when they were free, or going to the back mountain to relax and see the girls from the next company. We all went out together and came back together. Who knows, most of this Why is there one less person who came back at night! I'm also wondering..." Soldier C in the later stage.
After asking more than a dozen dormitories, everyone’s answers were almost the same. The places that logistics soldiers often go to are almost all back mountains, lakes, and toilets.
Ye Xiu carefully observed the toilets inside each dormitory. Apart from the sink, there were almost all bath trays and toilets. The missing people only disappeared after going to the toilet in the middle of the night. Could it be that something would appear in the toilet in the middle of the night?
However, after every work in the dormitory of the logistics soldiers, the dormitory leader would gather the personnel and then turn off the lights and lock the door. This door is also a processed mechanical combination lock. After everyone falls asleep, it is almost impossible for strangers to sneak into the dormitory.
If you climb through a window, it's even more impossible. Since the dormitories within the legion are all on higher floors, all dormitory windows are blocked by barbed wire. If someone artificially destroys the barbed wire fence, there will definitely be movement. Besides, on such a high floor, how could anyone climb so high to sneak in?
But these logistics soldiers who disappeared from the dormitory almost always disappeared after going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Since the opponent is an advanced mutant warrior with strength above level five, the best way is to devour the opponent through some kind of medium. What is this medium?
Could it be that they are water beads? There are so many water drops here. If the other party is a master of controlling water magic, it is indeed possible to take the person away quietly.
"Ye Xiu, have you noticed that the mirrors in these dormitories seem a bit strange?" Feiyu interrupted Ye Xiu's thoughts.
"Mirror?" Ye Xiu asked confused.
"Look, almost every mirror has water droplets left on it, but every mirror in the bedroom is very clean. Don't you think there is something wrong with this mirror?" Feiyu asked.
"The mirror is clean?" Ye Xiu was shocked.
yes? There are almost no drops of water on the mirrors in every bedroom. Judging from the current situation of each dormitory, this is completely impossible! Moreover, if the tide is high due to weather, the mirror will be foggy.
"Could it be that they saw heavy mist when they woke up in the morning, and they wiped it?" Fang Qing asked doubtfully.
"No. The mirrors in each dormitory are close to the wall. Those walls are dripping with water all day long. The logistics soldiers' shift is almost before 12 o'clock at night. How can they have so much time? Cleaning the mirror?" Feiyu frowned.
"Do you suspect that those mutants sneaked into the dormitories of each legion through the medium of mirrors, and then took advantage of their waking hours to kill them one by one?" Ye Yin frowned.
"Isn't it impossible?" Feiyu frowned.
"If the opponent can really use a medium like a mirror to sneak into the dormitory and take the logistics soldiers away, then obviously he is not the same mutant as the mutants who attacked in the back mountains and lakes. Then, why wait for the logistics soldiers to wake up at night? When? To take people away silently in the bathroom? Can't you come out of the bathroom and take away everyone in the dormitory silently?" Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment and continued: "Then Judging from the current data, there are far fewer late soldiers missing in the bathroom than those missing in the back mountains and near the lake. I can think that the other party's method of sneaking into the army bathroom to commit crimes will be far better than those in the back mountains and near the lake. The method is much more difficult. Or maybe the mutant who killed people in the bathroom did not join forces with the others!"
"No cooperation? Ever since the painting-skinned river monster disappeared, the rainy season has become very ordinary, and the place of disappearance has also begun to shift to the dormitory. If there is no connection here, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, right? I think the point is, It's still that lake, why don't we dive into the water and take a look. See if the water is low, what kind of ghosts are there?" Ye Yin said.
"agree!"
"No, the places where they disappeared were the back mountain, the lake, and the bathroom of the dormitory. The instructor also said that there was more than one mutant who sneaked into the back mountain. I suspect that there were several mutants, and they used different methods to simultaneously To commit murder. However, brother, if you propose to go to the lake to find out what is going on, I agree." Ye Xiu said.
"How about we group up? Can't we take care of everything at the same time?" Fang Qing said.
"No, the opponents are all mutant warriors with strength above level five. There are three places where the incident happened now. Even if we go together in twos, the distance between us is relatively far. We don't have the speed to teleport. If we encounter danger again, , it is very likely that there will be a situation where timely support cannot be provided. In this way, the possibility of us being trapped in pairs will be greater. I suggest that it is better for us to go together as four people and go from one place to another." Ye Xiu said.
"Agree!" Feiyu said.
"Okay! Let's start from the lake first!"
The night was extremely quiet and eerie. The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier. But the rain, as if it had deliberately suppressed its own voice, made no sound at all.
In order to prevent further accidents, each dormitory has started a plan to take turns to keep vigil.
At this time, a logistics soldier in a certain dormitory was opening the window and blowing smoke rings out the window. Even so, he would still glance behind him from time to time.
"Damn it! I don't believe it. Could there be a ghost in the middle of the night?"
After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he put it out. Turning around, he leaned against the window edge and looked around carefully at everything in the bathroom. Immediately, he took out a bell from his pocket and hung it around his neck. Whenever he made any big movement, the bell would make a sound. In this way, the roommates will wake up, and the brothers in the next dormitory will rush over soon.
"It should be okay...it's been a few hours!"
He thought he was very considerate, sat down against the wall, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, the water droplets on the bathroom wall suddenly began to twist very strangely. A large piece of water dropped on the wall, twisting into an extremely ferocious grimace. It opened its mouth and moved slightly to the head of the logistics soldier.
A pair of pale hands slowly dropped to his neck like water drops. In an instant, its hand passed through the logistics soldier's chest and reached into his internal organs.
And almost all the places touched by those hands rotted into black. In a burst of severe pain, the man opened his eyes and looked upward.
A monster with a bloodshot face, a mouth full of fangs, and a big eyeball was grinning and staring at him excitedly.
The monster made a quiet gesture towards him.
Afterwards, his body slowly decayed into strips of blood in fear. The blood dissolved in large water droplets and was sucked into the monster's body. As the blood all over the wall disappeared, everything returned to its original state. The whole process was completely silent!
Ye Xiu and the others prepared their equipment and arrived near the lake.
"If a water ghost pulls me later, you have to protect me!" Fang Qing said worriedly.
"Okay Qing'er, you are already an advanced Keeling warrior, why do you still believe in water ghosts?" Feiyu patted Fang Qing on the shoulder: "Besides, didn't we have a fight with that crocodile? I didn’t see you scared at that time?”
"Who knows, there will be some ghosts in here. I'm just afraid!" Fang Qing frowned.
"Don't be afraid. If an accident occurs, I can instantly transfer the space where the four of us are to the shore. This time I went into the water just to explore what is in the lake." Ye Yin said.
"Well! Then it's agreed, Ye Yin, you have to protect me!"
"Don't be afraid, we will protect you! Don't forget, we are a team! Let's go into the water!"
Ye Yin formed a seal with his hands, and saw the dark light shining in his palms, shifting slightly. The bodies of the four of them were surrounded by a transparent circular protective film.
"This oxygen barrier space can only help us maintain oxygen supply for an hour at most. Within an hour, we must leave! Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The four people jumped into the water in unison. At this moment, the lake surface that was originally full of bubbles began to pour out white smoke in the aftermath of the turmoil. Eventually, the turbulent lake surface solidified into ice.
