Chapter 170 Corpse
In the eyes of the three of them, the black-armored guard with a huge body walked past them and left the No. 1 land engineering ship.
When Li Meng stepped on the messy snow, behind him, there was the sound of mechanical operation, and the tail hatch of the No. 1 land engineering ship slowly closed.
Walking slowly on the snowy road, behind Li Meng, the huge No. 1 land engineering ship made a "buzzing" engine roar. Then the tracks turned, and the huge No. 1 land engineering ship started to move and gradually moved away.
While walking, Li Meng said: "208328, immediately locate the target "bank" and give me the direction. Also, search for the outgoing transport team to see if they can be found in the ruins. Maybe they are heading back." Hurry.”
208328: "Positioned, go straight ahead..."
He raised his head and looked at the end of the snow road ahead. The black armored guard who was walking slowly on the snow road suddenly flashed, jumped up, rushed out, jumped on the snow road, and quickly went away.
At the end of the snowy road behind, there was no trace of the No. 1 land engineering ship.
Under the guidance of 208328, Li Meng ran wildly through the ruins, with snowflakes billowing wherever he passed.
Half an hour later, on the snowy road outside the gate of Hua Xia Bank.
The cold wind is howling, the snowflakes are dancing, and the floating snowflakes hide some unknown traces.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the alley and stood on the snowy road.
Stepping on the thick snow, Li Meng looked around.
This place is close to the traces of the nuclear explosion zone, the buildings are in dilapidated condition, and the exposed buildings are scorched black.
Finally, Li Meng fixed his gaze on a building on the roadside in front of him.
This dilapidated building is Hua Xia Bank.
The glass has long been broken, and the messy hall on the first floor can be seen from the road outside.
The goal of the moving team was this bank. When they arrived, Li Meng did not go in a straight line, but followed the nearest road. Li Meng did not encounter the moving team on the road, which showed a big problem.
And this problem has arisen...
Taking a step forward, Li Meng entered the lobby on the first floor through the broken glass wall.
Everything in the hall is dark and messy, and everything is visible.
Rotten counters, a messy waiting area, and bodies on the floor.
"What happened?"
Li Meng discovered the body in the hall as early as outside. Only after entering the hall did he confirm his suspicion.
Stopping next to a corpse, Li Meng looked down at the corpse lying on the ground and muttered in his heart.
Squatting down, Li Meng turned the body over.
This time, in the helmet, Li Meng frowned slightly.
It was so tragic. The whole chest of the corpse was torn, and the wound was from the left shoulder to the waist. The thick clothes were burned with blood. If the clothes hadn't wrapped the upper body, Li Meng even doubted whether the corpse would have been split into two. .
The body next to it was even worse. The whole head was smashed, the flesh and blood were bloody, and it was very hideous.
Although there was no smell of blood, the color of blood on the ground told Li Meng what happened here.
Li Meng roughly counted more than twenty corpses in the hall. There was no doubt that they were the transport team that set off from the shelter two days ago.
After standing up, Li Meng continued to move forward, went deep into the bank, and explored around.
It took more than ten minutes for Li Meng to return to the hall.
Stopping in front of the broken glass wall, looking at the bloody hall, Li Meng's face looked uncertain in his helmet, and he fell into deep thought.
The door to the basement vault was opened, the banknotes were still there, but the gold was swept away.
All the bodies were killed with sharp weapons, and none had gunshot wounds.
Who killed these people?
One thing is undoubted, the enemy is not alone, and they are all very powerful.
Those hideous wounds on the corpse were not something that weak people could inflict.
Also, why do they want gold?
Gold was useful before the end of the world, but is it still valuable in this day and age?
Regarding the identity of the enemy, Li Meng made some guesses in his mind.
Is the murderer someone from the Grand View Sanctuary or a new human being?
After thinking about it, Li Meng felt that it was neither.
If new humans came, they wouldn't be so sneaky, and the people from Grand View Sanctuary would be even less likely.
Gold is useless to underground people, this is the most basic common sense.
If it’s not New Humanity, and it’s not Grand View Sanctuary, who could it be?
"208328, in addition to the nuclear explosion area, immediately conduct a comprehensive search of the ruins to find suspicious targets."
The corpse would not have been dead for more than twenty-four hours. If the other party was an outsider, they would most likely still be in Qing'an City. Although the chance was slim, Li Meng was willing to give it a try.
These dead people were all his people, and Li Meng would not give up even if he had the slightest chance of finding the murderer.
Looking down at the corpses in the hall, Li Meng sighed in his heart.
Human beings are really fragile, and life will come to an end if we are not careful.
No resources were wasted, Li Meng thought.
In the dim hall, a white light emerged from the void and enveloped each body.
In just one second, the corpse shrouded in white light turned into white beams of light and poured into the void.
The resource points have increased a little, and the biological resources have also increased a little...
"A suspicious target was found. A large sleigh is driving on the canal, heading northeast. It is expected that the area will be detectable in ten minutes."
The report from 208328 shocked Li Meng, and he rushed out of the bank in a flash.
On the snowy road outside, Li Meng ran wildly, sometimes jumping up and landing heavily on the ground, raising bursts of snowflakes. He was so fast that he disappeared at the end of the snowy road in the blink of an eye.
After running all the way, in just a few minutes, Li Meng saw the Jianghuai Canal in front of him.
"Bang..."
Li Meng, who was approaching the river bank, jumped up and crossed a distance of dozens of meters, like a cannonball that fell heavily on the river surface, splashing bursts of snowflakes.
Before the snowflakes fell, the huge steel body of the black armored guard shot out and leaped on the river surface.
Looking from the sky to the river surface, only a black shadow could be seen passing over the river surface, moving quickly.
Who could they be?
Looking at the end of the river ahead, Li Meng opened the map while running wildly on the snowy road.
The canal was easy to find. There was only one main river channel. On the map, Li Meng found the sled mentioned by 208328.
Not far away, on the river surface more than ten kilometers away, they were approaching the edge of the detectable area. In a few minutes, they would disappear from the map.
Looking at the vehicles driving on the river surface on the map, Li Meng's expression fell into thought.
There was only one vehicle on the other side, and the direction of departure was north, which meant that they were outsiders and there would not be many people.
As 208328 said, the sled was very large and bloated, similar to a bus. The maximum number of people would not exceed fifty.
As for whether they were the murderers of the transport team members, no conclusion could be drawn at the moment, but Li Meng would catch up with them. As long as he caught up, he would know whether they were the murderers or not.
