Chapter 165: Mummy
In just one minute, Ji Wanwan teleported several times and arrived at Xia Li's location.
At that time, Xia Li and several other members of the guard team were blocking off the area and conducting a carpet search.
Seeing Ji Wanwan appear, the guards stopped what they were doing and greeted her: "Hello, Lord."
Ji Wanwan waved her hand, signaling them to continue with their own business, and she quickly walked towards Xia Li: "What's going on?"
At this moment, Xia Li punched the hollow ground that he had just found.
Seeing that there was only a bunch of abandoned wires inside, Xia Li frowned in disappointment and looked up at Ji Wanwan: "We received a call from the sirens, and when we arrived, there was no one here.
We initially thought someone had pressed the wrong button, or that the person in question had left on their own. In line with our principle of not letting anyone off the hook, those of us still in the center building immediately checked the surveillance footage."
Xia Li paused and looked up at the streetlight above his head: "According to the surveillance, this person is here. He disappeared out of thin air after pressing the alarm. This is not very common, so I asked you to come and see for yourself."
"Disappeared out of thin air?" Ji Wanwan twirled her fingertips and followed Xia Li's gaze to look up at the street light.
In addition to the street lights, she also looked around.
This is a dead end, surrounded by buildings waiting to be developed. Theoretically, ordinary survivors would not come to such a place for no reason.
She paused for a moment and said, "I understand. Ah Li, you take the escort team and continue searching. I'll go to the central building to check the surveillance. If anything happens, call me on the intercom immediately."
Xia Li nodded: "Go ahead, I'm here, nothing will happen."
Soon, Ji Wanwan arrived at the central building.
At this time, some members of the security team had already sorted out the surveillance data.
According to surveillance footage, the missing person went to work and purchased supplies as usual this morning, which was no different from his usual life trajectory. No unusual people were seen. The only difference was that after get off work today, this person took a detour to the dead end.
Ji Wanwan pointed at the surveillance camera and looked at the people around her: "Bring everyone who had contact with him today to the central building, and then pull up all the surveillance footage from the past two weeks. Hurry."
The best rescue time for missing persons is 24 hours. Time is running out, so we must hurry.
While waiting, other core members who learned the news also rushed over, and Xia Li, who had found nothing in the dead end, also came to the central building.
Everyone was present, and Ji Wanwan simply assigned some tasks.
The border guards led by Xia Li and the Lion Squad, as well as the urban patrol team, are responsible for searching for people throughout the base.
Zhou Kai, Xu Siming, Ji Xing and Ming Jing are responsible for questioning the relevant personnel.
Qi Hao, Wang Youde and Wen Yuheng were responsible for checking the surveillance footage, while Ji's father and mother were responsible for comforting the family members.
Ji Wanwan herself once again came to the dead end where the man disappeared.
When I came back, it was already dark.
The street lights flickered on and off, and the wind that came into the alley hit the wall at the end, then turned back and made a creepy humming sound in the alley.
Ji Wanwan walked to the end of the alley and reached out to touch the wall.
The other side of the wall used to be a residential area, but it is now under construction and is not open to the public on weekdays.
Ji Wanwan teleported over.
The residential area still retains the chaos after the outbreak of the apocalypse. Although there are no corpses everywhere, the tragedy of the time can still be seen from the remaining bloodstains.
Ji Wanwan used the water energy borrowed from Xu Siming to sense the area on a large scale.
There were no living creatures or corpses in the entire area.
People really disappeared...
How is this possible?
unless……
Ji Wanwan's pupils trembled.
Space power!!
Bai Ze!!
Could it be that Bai Ze is not dead and has even sneaked into her base?!
Thinking of this, Ji Wanwan felt a chill down her spine: [System, can you sense if there are any residual energy fluctuations here?]
The system sensed for a moment: [Sorry, host, except for the water energy you just used, we did not sense the existence of other energies.]
Nothing was found here. Coincidentally, the people who were checking the surveillance and questioning relevant personnel in the central building also sent news, and they also found nothing. Now the only news left was about Xia Li and the Lion Team.
In the second half of the night, the group who had conducted a carpet search returned to the central building, but still found nothing.
At this point, the clues are completely cut off.
Ji Wanwan had no choice but to treat the matter as an unsolved case and compensate the families of the missing persons in accordance with the compensation clauses for the victims.
Not many people knew about this matter, and it did not cause much stir within the base.
I thought the matter ended here, but no one expected that this was just the beginning.
A few days after the man disappeared, the missing person suddenly appeared in a hidden flower bed in a leisure square in the city in the form of a mummy.
The person who discovered the body was an old lady who got up early to exercise.
The old lady saw something in the flower bed from a distance and thought it was garbage thrown there by someone, so she walked over out of curiosity. As a result, she was scared half to death and ran back home crying.
Because she was running and shouting all the way, she alarmed a lot of people. By the time Ji Wanwan and others received the news and rushed over, the place was already surrounded by people.
Although Wang Youde, who arrived first, tried his best to maintain order, he could not control the excited discussions of the onlookers.
The guards immediately dispersed the crowd and moved the body out of the flower bed.
The corpse had been sucked into a skeleton shape, its eyes wide open, still retaining the last expression of fear it had before its death.
The moment the body was carried out, the crowd screamed in panic and backed away.
Ji Wanwan looked solemn when she saw this scene.
What could suck a person into this state?
Zombies eat human flesh and blood, but this person's body is intact, so it doesn't look like the work of a zombie.
Ji Wanwan squatted down and gently moved the man's head with her hand. Sure enough, she found two black teeth marks on his neck.
The absurd idea that had flashed through my mind before was now completely concrete.
Zombies!
How is that possible?
As she moved, many people noticed the teeth marks on the corpse's neck, and whispers came from the crowd.
In order to avoid the situation from escalating and causing more panic.
Ji Wanwan stood up and gave Wu Xun a look. The latter understood and immediately stepped forward to wrap the body with white cloth, lifted the body and put it into the body transport vehicle.
Father Ji spoke to comfort everyone and promised that the murderer would be found in the base, asking everyone not to panic. Xia Li, with a cold face, dispersed the crowd and let them do their own thing.
One of them played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, and the crowd dispersed as quickly as possible. Soon, there was no one left in the square.
Although everyone had left, the rumors had already spread uncontrollably within the base.
Everyone in the base was in a state of panic, but one crisis after another arose...
