Gu Wenyu got the answer he wanted. They ate something more and rested for a night. Ye Qing put all the commonly used medicines into the space in case of emergencies, but there were not many medicines left in this place.
, all the commonly used medicines were looted, and Zhang Yeqing could only get a few of them.
At dawn the next day, Qin An's leg injury had completely healed, and the group of people got ready and set off. At this time, the four of them were in the best condition.
The heavy iron door of the laboratory slowly opened, the sun shone down, and the breeze blew, but outside the door it was not a quiet time. What they faced were mutants with ulcers all over their bodies and pustules. The air was filled with...
It's an indescribable smell of corruption.
Lin Qi was holding a spear, and Gu Wenyu also drew out the sword from his waist. The two looked at each other, then nodded, and rushed out to the left and right to clear the way in front.
After Gu Wenyu regained his mobility, Lin Qi's pressure was no longer so great. Although it was the first time for the two to cooperate, they had a rare tacit understanding, and almost no mutant could get close.
Zhang Yeqing walked in the middle of the team. Gu Wenyu strengthened his eyesight. Zhang Yeqing carefully observed every corner to see if there were any marks left by Brother Qiang.
Qin An was responsible for breaking up the rear, and the four of them moved forward quickly. According to the plan, they went to the warehouse first and packed all the edible food into Zhang Yeqing's space.
But when the four of them arrived at the warehouse, they discovered that the door of the place was open and the food inside had long been emptied.
"Let's go." Lin Qi waved calmly and asked everyone to leave. Since the equipment of the institute can be transported away, there is no reason why the food would be left behind. It is estimated that the other party also has people with spatial abilities, otherwise it would not be possible.
It is difficult to complete such a large-scale move.
When they came out of the warehouse, the expressions on their faces were not very good. According to their plan, if no other clues were found in the base, they would have to withdraw first.
Although the people here have mutated, they are all people who once lived in the same base. From time to time, they will see familiar faces. This is not comfortable for anyone. Lin Qi and the others neither want to kill them all, nor do they want to stay anymore.
.
"Captain, there seems to be something over there, at nine o'clock." Zhang Yeqing suddenly called out to Lin Qi and Gu Wenyu to stop.
"Xiaoyu." Lin Qi called Gu Wenyu in a low voice, and then turned towards the direction pointed by Zhang Yeqing. Gu Wenyu immediately understood and followed.
"Behind that container, it seems to be the boss's ring." Zhang Yeqing pointed out the more detailed location.
Behind the container, where the sun cannot be seen, there is a small thing lying quietly on the ground. If Gu Wenyu had not strengthened Zhang Yeqing's vision, it would be impossible to find such a small thing at this distance.
Several people ran to the location of the container. There was only a small gap behind the container. Zhang Yeqing squatted down and reached out, but the ring was thrown a little far, and the gap left behind the container was too small. Zhang Yeqing's hand could not reach it.
arrive.
"Are you ready?" Lynch urged, because they couldn't stay in the same place for too long, for fear that they would be surrounded by mutants, and it would be more troublesome to leave then.
"It's out of reach." Zhang Yeqing's face turned red, but it was still just a little bit close.
Gu Wenyu glanced back, and then glanced at Lin Qi. Although Lin Qi didn't look at Gu Wenyu, he received the signal, and he said directly: "Go."
After Gu Wenyu received Lin Qi's reply, he took a few steps back and said, "Let me do it."
When Zhang Yeqing saw Gu Wenyu approaching, he quickly withdrew his hand and gave up his position.
Gu Wenyu put the long sword in his hand into the gap behind the container, and then pulled out the ring.
Zhang Yeqing took the ring in his hand, checked it, and said with certainty: "It's the boss's ring."
"Why did the boss throw the ring here? Is there anything else behind it?" Qin An expressed confusion. After all, there was no writing on the ring. What could this mean?
Zhang Yeqing glanced at the back of the container. In fact, there was another thing inside. He said uncertainly: "If that lighter counts, there is another lighter inside, but it is too far away and we can't reach it. There should be no need to pick it out."
Bar."
"Lighter?" Qin An raised his voice. Zhang Yeqing thought he had discovered something, but Qin An continued: "The boss actually hid the cigarette, and he lied to me and said there was no more. How stingy!"
"...Is there something wrong with your focus?" Zhang Yeqing complained feebly.
"Since there is nothing else, let's go to the nearby area to see if there are any clues." Lynch interrupted the two of them at the right time.
"good."
Naturally, the others had no objections. The four of them started a new round of search along the scope of the container, but this time they did not find any useful information, let alone any marks left.
The four of them pulled out of the factory area and re-entered the wild jungle. It wasn't until no mutants could be seen around that the four of them finally stopped to rest.
Zhang Yeqing gasped and sat down. He took out Brother Qiang's ring and said, "Since the boss can throw away the ring, it at least proves that the other person is still alive. A dead person cannot throw away things."
"How do you know he lost the ring himself?" Qin An didn't know what was wrong, so he made such an embarrassing statement.
Gu Wenyu immediately said: "If it were someone else, it doesn't seem necessary. If the person is dead, his body has to be taken away and the ring is thrown here. That would be a lot of time."
"Yes, yes, the boss is definitely still alive." Qin An also realized how idiotic his words were. He nodded repeatedly, and then asked: "Then what did the boss want to tell us when he left the ring in the container?
?”
Gu Wenyu didn't answer the question, she stared into Qin An's eyes and asked: "You just said that you asked Brother Qiang for a cigarette before, but he didn't give it to you, right?"
"Yes." Qin An didn't know why, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Brother Qiang is addicted to cigarettes?" Gu Wenyu continued to ask.
Qin An thought for a while and replied: "There must have been before the end of the world. Nowadays, it is not easy to get a pack of cigarettes. Even if you are addicted, you have to quit."
"Assuming that Brother Qiang carries a lighter with him, then it is very likely that he dropped the lighter and the ring at the same time. Excluding the fact that Brother Qiang accidentally dropped the lighter, what do you think Brother Qiang wants to tell us?
Could it have something to do with the lighter?" Gu Wenyu held his head and analyzed it seriously.
"What does it have to do with lighters? Tell me, did he hide cigarettes?" Qin An's focus was still strange, and he thought he was quite humorous.
"...It's definitely not a cigarette hidden." Gu Wenyu didn't want to accept Qin An's point. She looked at Lin Qi and Zhang Yeqing again, and then said with some hesitation: "Lighter...fire...you guys, do you mean...
