Chapter 228 Investigation
King Sweet arranged an energy vehicle for them. This ordinary carriage has obvious differences. It is more like a modern car, but its appearance is still very different.
The energy vehicle is driven by Eugene, and it can be seen that he is very handy.
"This kind of energy vehicle is very common in District 17." Seeing Su Rui's curiosity, Eugene smiled and introduced to her, "Many of the power in District 17 are driven by energy, and the same is true for energy vehicles. Its top
There is a large energy tank that can store energy and absorb energy continuously."
Suri touched the car body curiously and asked: "What if the energy is gone?"
"There is an energy extraction station here. Of course, there are some differences in energy vehicles like ours. That is, with the king's permission, we do not need an energy extraction station and can extract energy at any time, as long as it is in the seventeenth district.
Within coverage.”
The energy vehicle is very large and spacious, with a lounge and even a dining area. Compared with a horse-drawn carriage, this energy vehicle is simply great.
As soon as Suri returned to her exclusive room from the cab, she saw Eugene walking in and asked in surprise: "Why are you back?"
Eugene snorted and said with a smile: "I just went to adjust the parameter values. The energy vehicle does not require human control as long as it determines the destination."
Suri nodded, District 17 seemed like another world.
Feeling tired from sitting, Suri couldn't hold on any longer, and slowly fell asleep. Harrison's shouts were heard vaguely.
Su Ruimeng woke up drowsily and yawned. Several "dong dong dong" sounds came from the window. He opened the window and saw that Harrison couldn't bear the sleepiness. He covered his mouth with his hand and yawned again. He saw that they were already in the car.
Wai Qiqi looked at her and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Harrison said: "Miss Suri, we are here."
"Wait me a moment."
Suri anxiously closed the window, tied up her long hair, put on a hat to hide her hair, and found a pair of trousers and strappy boots from her luggage that were more convenient for movement.
After briefly washing up, he met Harrison and the others.
Su Rui apologized: "Sorry, I overslept."
"It's okay, the investigation doesn't take much time." Eugene kindly helped her out.
Troy and the others didn't say much.
"Go here first."
With that said, Eugene folded the energy vehicle and put it into a suitcase under Su Rui's shocked eyes.
Obviously Suri couldn't understand why such a huge thing could be put into such a small thing, but no one gave her any more time to think about it.
They walked into a small town called Gaston.
The town looks lifeless. There is almost no pedestrian in the town. The doors and windows are all closed. The fallen leaves on the ground are very thick. They make a rustling sound when you step on them. It feels like you are stepping on a quilt.
.
"Let's go to the mayor's house first." Eugene suggested, and of course no one objected. Compared to Suri, who is the nominal captain, Eugene is more like a captain.
Of course, Suri wouldn't make sense either. After all, she was unfamiliar with the place and life here. With Eugene stepping forward, she felt much more relaxed.
Suri followed behind them, and Harrison followed Suri's side.
Seeing Eugene and the others stopped in front, Suri also stopped.
"Mayor Ted?" Eugene went up and knocked on the door.
No one responded inside, and several people looked at each other. Just when they were about to rush in, the door suddenly opened a small crack, revealing half of their faces.
"Mr. Eugene." Ted looked outside a few times, and when he saw so many people coming, he shrank his head in fear.
Eugene explained: "We are responsible for investigating the disappearances in the town. This is our captain, Miss Suri."
"Hello, Miss Suri." After confirming their identities, Ted opened the door and let them in.
Ted carefully closed the door, and then blocked the door with several large boxes. Then he turned around, clapped his hands and looked at the group of them.
Su Rui watched his move silently, and then glanced around the supplies. Was he the only one?
"Don't mind, people in the town are still disappearing, we can only use this method." Ted sighed sadly.
Eugene raised his hand: "It's okay. Please tell us about the specific situation of the town."
"Okay, Marcus, hurry up and pour tea for the guests."
Following Ted's gaze, Suri saw a skinny boy hiding in the door frame and watching them secretly. Hearing Ted's voice, the little boy ran quickly carrying a pot and poured it for Suri and the others.
The water was hidden again in a flash.
Ted explained: "I'm sorry everyone, my son has low self-esteem. He has been ill and unable to speak since he was a child."
"So that's what it is. What a pity." Eugene sat down carelessly.
Su Rui and the others also found a place to sit down casually.
"Where to start? About three months ago, Malcolm in town left town to buy goods, but he still hasn't come back for a month. We organized a manpower to search and found the place where he usually buys goods.
, but the boss said he came back on the same day and showed us the shipping records. There was nothing wrong with it. However, Malcolm did not come back and has been missing until now."
Mayor Ted sighed. The middle-aged man who was originally in his forties looked much older. "I thought this was an accident, but I didn't expect it to be the beginning of a nightmare."
"After that day, people began to disappear in the town one after another, and no matter what methods were tried, no trace of them could be found."
With this information? Eugene thought for a moment and asked: "Do you suspect they entered Walker Forest?"
"Yes, we can't think of any other possibility besides this." Ted frowned, and the muscles on his face trembled, "We suspect that the monsters in Walker Forest did it, because we have regulations.
You are not allowed to enter Walker Forest casually. Even if you want to go in, you need a permit, but I have not received any application. In fact, it is basically impossible for ordinary residents to venture into Walker Forest."
"Actually, apart from your town, there are several other towns where residents have gone missing."
"I have some understanding. At first, we all thought that the disappearance of the first man was just an accident. It was precisely because of our negligent attitude that we caused the current consequences. I am willing to go to the king to receive the punishment.
I sincerely repent from the Lord God and pray for the missing people.”
Ted clasped his hands together, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Don't worry anymore. Since we are here, we will definitely investigate clearly." Eugene patted his shoulder.
Ted said nervously: "But Walker Forest is very dangerous."
Troy smiled, "Our captain just came here through Walker Forest."
Ted was stunned and turned to look at Suri. Suri was sitting there, holding hot tea. She looked very well-behaved. From the outside, she was just a little girl.
She can actually walk through Walker Forest?
