In the dark night, the strong headlights of the military truck were very bright. In the front, everyone saw that the light could barely illuminate the middle of the road at the front. There was a bus lying across the road, as if it was deliberately placed there to block their way.
"That car smells of blood," said Major Pei.
The bus was about a hundred meters away from them, and even at such a distance, they could still smell the blood.
No one was surprised because if the car had not had an accident, it would not have been lying in the middle of the road.
"The car was parked in the middle of the road, and we could smell blood from such a distance. The accident must have happened not long ago," said Adjutant Meng.
Everyone immediately became alert because danger was likely nearby.
However, everyone looked around and found that there was no danger in the wilderness around them. Everyone just felt that under the dim light of the military truck lights and the black windows of the big bus, there seemed to be an ominous atmosphere.
"I'll go over and take a look. All of you go back to your cars and close the doors. If you find anything wrong, drive away immediately." Major Pei said.
"I'll go with you." Wen Yubai said.
Wen Yubai has used her mental power to "look" at the bus and felt very bad, so she wanted to see if there were any clues.
These two people had the highest cultivation among them, and everyone had a mysterious confidence in them, so after Major Pei gave the order, everyone else obediently returned to the car.
Even Wen Weize had no objection. He just said, "Second sister, you have to be careful," and followed Adjutant Meng and the others into the car.
After making sure that everyone was on the bus and the doors were closed so that they could withstand any sudden danger for a while, Major Pei, holding a pistol, took Wen Yubai to the bus.
The two men walked at a moderate pace. The closer they got to the bus, the stronger the smell of blood became.
"That large dark stain on the ground next to the car door is actually blood." Wen Yubai couldn't help but say, how much blood must have been shed.
"Yeah!" Major Pei responded softly. He did not relax his vigilance just because he did not feel any danger.
When they walked closer carefully, they could see clearly that the road surface within two or three meters around the bus door was soaked with blood. The blood flowed across the road and formed a small pool of blood in a small pit on the side of the road.
Although Wen Yubai already knew what tragedy had occurred, he still felt very heavy when faced with the scene of a river of blood. The blood of everyone in the bus had to have been drained dry to leave that much blood.
The door of the bus was tightly closed. Major Pei and Wen Yubai were both people with keen senses. They could feel that there were no living people or other living creatures in the bus. However, they did not dare to be careless and rushed forward to open the door.
Major Pei carefully used wind power to open the car door. When the door was half opened, a white object fell out of the car and landed on the ground in front of the door.
The two were standing about seven or eight meters away from the car door. When the white thing fell out, both of them were very calm and did not show any signs of being frightened.
However, after they saw clearly what the white thing was, they looked at each other and could see that the other's expression was very bad.
It was a human skeleton. Since only the skeleton was left, the two of them felt it was a white object when they couldn't see clearly under the dim car lights.
But this bus was parked across the middle of the road, blocking the way. If there were any vehicles passing on the road, the bus would have to be moved away.
Even if this is the end of the world, and this is the sparsely populated Rick Plateau, it is unlikely that the bus accident happened too long ago.
Even though the blood on the ground had already solidified, even someone like Wen Yubai, who didn't have much experience, could see that it was still fresh and had at least not been there for more than a day.
The bus had an accident, most likely in the past two days. What fell out of the bus was not a body but skeletons...
Even if it is the end of the world, it is still a terrifying event.
Major Pei didn't rush over, but took out a flashlight from the storage space.
Although the two had night vision, they could see the situation inside the car clearly under the dim light of the car headlights, but the details were not so clear. If they wanted to see the details clearly, they needed brighter light.
Under the strong light of the flashlight, the two men could clearly see that there were dark red bloodstains on the skeleton.
"Based on the color of the blood, this man has been dead for no more than four hours." Major Pei whispered to Wen Yubai.
Wen Yubai nodded slightly. She already had an idea in her mind, so his words did not surprise her.
"Let's take a look at something else." Wen Yubai said.
When the skeleton fell from the door, she used her mental power to "scan" the situation inside the bus again.
It is still unclear what the reason is that can turn a person into a skeleton in just a few hours.
Major Pei changed the angle and shone the flashlight into the bus. Under the strong light of the flashlight, the two men could see the situation at the front of the bus clearly.
There was a skeleton sitting in the driver's seat of the bus, and the skeleton was restrained by a seat belt.
Wen Yubai noticed that the skeleton's hands were still tightly grasping the steering wheel, which made it clear that the driver was still driving the car at the moment of his death.
This means that the bus driver wanted to drive the bus away from the area before he died, which means that the disaster must have occurred suddenly and was not a danger that broke out inside the bus. Otherwise, the bus driver and the people inside the bus would have stopped the car and run away, and even if they couldn't run away, they would have died outside the car.
Major Pei turned the flashlight in his hand towards the front seat of the bus, where there was also a skeleton on the floor. The skeleton was lying on the floor with its head facing the door and its hand bones extending towards the door.
The skeleton of this body was smaller than the one that fell from the car door. Even though the broken clothes next to the body had been soaked in blood and then frozen, Wen Yubai could still tell that they were women's clothes.
There was a thick layer of blood ice on the floor of the bus. The temperature on the Rick Plateau was more than ten degrees below zero even at noon. It began to drop again at three o'clock in the afternoon, and by this time it was more than twenty degrees below zero.
The blood in the car accumulated on the floor was not easy to dry, but it was not like flowing onto the road. It was just a thin layer, and it was normal for it to freeze in a temperature of more than ten degrees.
After the two men made sure that there was no danger inside the bus and they could not find anything else by looking at it, they approached the bus carefully.
Because there was a skeleton near the car door and there was blood and ice on the door pedal, Major Pei shone the flashlight in through a broken window.
The situation inside the car was just as the two had expected. Skeletons were lying in the car. They couldn't see the whole picture through the car window, but just by looking at the postures of the skeletons before they died, they could feel the painful struggles these people had gone through before they died.
"I'll go in and see if I can find any clues. You should be careful when you're outside alone. If there's any danger, retreat immediately." Major Pei said worriedly.
