Chapter 245: Captured by a Monster!
There are five rooms in the two-story building, but for the sake of safety, everyone did not choose to be too dispersed, but prepared to squeeze together for a night.
As girls, Song Qing and Ji Yumo lived in one room, Song Chen and Li Haichuan lived in another room, and the rest of the White Tiger team lived with Chen Minghao.
In this way, even if there is an unexpected situation at night, it will be safer than being alone.
The location of the two-story building is at the edge of the building complex. Song Chen saw that it is far away from the forest farm. If there is any emergency, they have more options to deal with it.
However, despite this, people still have to take turns to guard at night.
Because there are so many people, Song Qing and Ji Yumo, as girls, do not need to guard at night, and the rest of the people take turns to guard in pairs.
Song Chen and Chang Minghao are on duty in the first half of the night, followed by Li Haichuan and Zhou Yufeng, and then the people of the White Tiger team and Chen Minghao.
Continue to eat the self-heating rice in Song Chen's space at night.
After eating and drinking, everyone discussed the arsenal operation they were going to tomorrow, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
To ensure safety, everyone rested upstairs.
Song Chen and Chang Minghao also sat on the ground on the second floor, keeping watch on the surroundings while looking up at the moon.
"It seems like I haven't stared at the moon in a daze like this for a long time." Chang Minghao suddenly said.
Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, he rarely paid attention to the moon at night. Until the outbreak of the apocalypse, they were trapped in the dormitory building of the school, and at night they sat in the empty corridors or halls to keep watch, guarding against zombies that might pop out of the corner at any time.
Later, he met Song Chen and returned to the Dawn Base with Song Chen.
Go out to patrol and kill zombies during the day, go home to sleep peacefully at night, and gradually stop looking up at the moon.
Spending the night outside tonight, looking at the bright moon above his head, he suddenly thought of the difficult and desperate days he had once had.
Seeing the slightly dazed expression on Chang Minghao's face, Song Chen patted his shoulder.
"It's all over, and things will get better and better in the future."
"Yes." Chang Minghao smiled and nodded, "I just think that looking back on those days, I feel that my current life is really hard-earned."
He had never thought that he could live the life he has now when he was trapped in the school dormitory building and had to stare at the moon in a daze.
Although it is definitely not as peaceful and happy as before the outbreak of the apocalypse, it is already a very happy thing to be able to eat and drink in the apocalypse, and the people you care about are still alive.
Time passed quickly as the two chatted.
After Li Haichuan and Zhou Yufeng came out to take over, Song Chen and Chang Minghao returned to the room to rest.
After a whole day's journey, Song Chen also had some backaches and fell asleep not long after lying on the newly laid floor.
The first half of the night was peaceful.
I don't know how long it took, when Song Chen was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard a roar from outside.
"Chengji!!"
The moment he heard the shout, Song Chen suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the ground, pushed open the door and rushed out.
As a result, he did not see anyone on the second floor.
Song Chen turned around and rushed downstairs, and then saw Lu Peng lying on the ground in a very embarrassed manner.
"Lu Peng!"
Song Chen hurriedly went forward to help Lu Peng up, and after checking up and down, he found that he had no wounds on his body. He was slightly relieved. He turned around and looked around, but did not find He Chengji, who was supposed to be on duty with Lu Peng.
Following the open door, Song Chen quickly rushed out to check He Chengji's whereabouts.
But there was nothing around except the empty house.
Even except for his own heartbeat and breathing, Song Chen could not hear any other sound.
At this time, other people also heard the sound and rushed over, and also found that He Chengji was missing.
Before everyone asked, Lu Peng, who came to his senses, had already climbed up from the ground.
"Captain, Cheng Ji was captured by a monster!"
"What?"
Yang Lin imagined many possibilities in an instant, but he never expected that Lu Peng would actually tell him that He Cheng Ji was captured by a monster.
Aren't there zombies in the apocalypse?
Are there other monsters?
Could it be that the zombies have mutated again that they have never encountered?
Compared to the others who were confused, Song Chen was extremely calm.
With almost no time to think, he seemed to have guessed something and asked directly: "What kind of monster is it? What happened just now?"
Lu Peng replied: "At that time, Cheng Ji wanted to go out to relieve himself. I thought it should be nothing, so I let him go by himself, but as soon as I opened the door, something like a tentacle suddenly stretched out, rolled up Cheng Ji and ran away. I rushed up to chase him, but was severely whipped by the tentacle. I lay on the ground and didn't know what happened at all."
When he came to his senses again, it was Song Chen who rushed down to help him up.
But by then, He Cheng Ji had been swept away and disappeared.
After hearing Lu Peng's words, everyone present had a solemn expression.
In the dark night and in the strange and dangerous forest, being captured by an unknown monster in such a place, He Chengji's fate can be imagined.
Yang Lin was the first to get impatient and was about to rush out of the building to find someone.
Fortunately, Song Chen was quick to catch him.
"Don't be impulsive."
Song Chen remained calm.
People must be saved, but we can't just rush out without considering anything. That would be no different from committing suicide.
Yang Lin calmed down a little after being stopped by Song Chen, but he was still extremely anxious and wanted to rush out to save He Chengji right now.
At this moment, Li Haichuan's voice suddenly came from the door.
"Come and see!"
"What did you find?"
Song Chen walked over quickly and looked in the direction of Li Haichuan's finger.
In an inconspicuous corner on the ground, there was an obvious trace of dragging, which looked like the shape left when He Chengji was dragged away.
"This trace should be what Lu Peng said, that was left when He Chengji was dragged away. Following this trace, we should be able to find He Chengji and the monster that took him away." Li Haichuan analyzed seriously.
But he couldn't figure out what the monster that dragged He Chengji away was.
Obviously, since he joined the Dawn Base, he has been a lone wolf searching for supplies and doing missions. He has seen many types of zombies and mutant animals, but he really doesn't know what kind of creature can leave such a strange trace.
When Song Chen saw this trace, he had a vague guess in his mind.
"There is no time to lose, let's hurry up and chase it!"
The source can be discussed later, the most urgent thing is to catch up and rescue He Chengji.
Others did not object, and immediately took their equipment and chased after the dragging trace.
