Chapter 104: Eating melons, situation!
After returning to the shelter and getting the coal he deserved, his life returned to normal.
Suning not only replaced the dormitory with a practical stove, but also tried to use the stove to cook food in the dormitory.
Of course, not all of Suning’s food is prepared by No. 4. Occasionally, she will try to cook it herself.
At this moment, Suning is skillfully using the stove and clay pot to carefully prepare a delicious soup.
This soup uses tender meat and eggs, and some delicious dried shrimps from District 13 as ingredients. After a period of stewing, the fragrant broth is finally ready.
Maybe the soup was too delicious, making Suning suddenly want to eat fish.
"I don't know if I'll get beaten if this kind of life gets out." Suning shook his head with amusement.
Due to the extremely cold weather, all people living in the shelter tried to stay in the dormitory to avoid going out and catching cold.
Of course, the same goes for Suning.
However, on this day, a sudden burst of noise broke the tranquility.
Suning's attention was immediately attracted.
Listening carefully, the quarrel seemed to originate not far away.
So, Suning put on a thick cotton jacket, gently pushed open the door and walked out.
When she arrived at the door, she was surprised to find that many people had gathered there. Everyone was talking about something, and the scene seemed a bit chaotic.
Suning also heard the words "Give me back my daughter's life!"
The extreme cold keeps most people in their dormitories, and with few entertainment activities, they can only check the communication channels to see how other people are doing.
Suddenly there was a lively atmosphere. People in Daxia love to watch melons, and since it happened right at the doorstep, of course everyone wanted to join in the fun.
Suning also saw Zhang Li and Zhao Fuqing next door, both of whom were also dressed warmly.
"What happened?" Suning asked Zhang Li directly.
It's true that Suning has had zero contact with people around him since he moved into this dormitory. Except for Jiang Nana before, Suning really hasn't had much contact with people around him.
So when it comes to the relationship between neighbors, I'm afraid even Zhang Li, who just moved here not long ago, is not as good as her.
Zhang Li had a strange look on her face at this moment, and she slowly said, "It all started with Uncle Zhang's son, who lived not far away."
His son's name is Zhang He, and he can live here because he is a planting researcher in the shelter.
"Uncle Zhang's eldest son, Zhang He, has a girlfriend. For unknown reasons, two days ago, the girl followed Zhang He out of the shelter to search for burning materials, but in the end, only Zhang He returned. The people causing trouble now are Zhang He's girlfriend's family."
At this point, Zhang Li was also filled with suspicion: "Has the environment outside this shelter become so dangerous now?"
Although Zhang Li knew in her heart that the extreme cold outside was much lower than the temperature inside the shelter, no one would be stupid enough to freeze to death outside, right?
After hearing this, Suning thought of the [Man-Eating Monster] he had encountered before.
Meanwhile, an extremely agitated Zhang He loudly protested, "Auntie, I swear to God, it wasn't me who killed Xiaoxia. A monster suddenly appeared in the snowstorm, and it dragged Xiaoxia away."
"Who are you kidding! Isn't it because you coveted the beauty and power of a certain high-ranking lady in the shelter and wanted to abandon Xiaoxia that you didn't hesitate to kill her? You are absolutely insane!"
After hearing this, there were waves of condemnation from the crowd.
In a blink of an eye, the fierce quarrel quickly escalated into a fight.
Suning and Zhang Li stood aside like two cold sculptures, watching the situation escalate with cold eyes, as if they did not want to get involved and cause more trouble.
However, someone soon tried to stop the conflict.
The leader was Zhang Xing. He looked solemn and stern as he shouted, "Gathering and causing trouble is strictly prohibited in the shelter. Do you want to be expelled from the shelter?"
Faced with Captain Zhang Xing's reprimand, the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down.
Xiaoxia's parents, filled with grief and indignation, tearfully complained to Zhang Xing, "Commander, please seek justice for us. This ruthless man murdered my child and even fabricated lies to deceive us, claiming there was a monster in the blizzard and that it had kidnapped my daughter."
Seeing this, Zhang He quickly looked at Zhang Xing for help.
He frantically defended himself, "Captain Zhang, everything I said is true. There is absolutely no lie. There are monsters outside the shelter."
Zhang Xing reached out to stop the two from speaking any further.
He looked at Xiaoxia's parents.
Zhang Xing: "I'm sorry to tell you that Zhang He didn't lie. There are indeed unknown monsters roaming outside the Sixth Shelter."
After Suning and his team finished collecting coal and returned to the shelter, they reported the news to the top management.
But I didn’t expect that there was not just one [man-eating monster], and many people were attacked outside the shelter.
When people around heard the news, they also started talking about it.
"Monsters? Why are there monsters outside the shelter? What are they going to do by kidnapping Zhang He's girlfriend?"
"You think all the women who have disappeared recently were kidnapped by these monsters?"
"Don't tell me, is it really possible?"
Zhang Li listened and said, "This extreme cold already makes it hard to breathe, and now there are monsters appearing. Are they going to drive people crazy?"
The Zhang He family’s problems are resolved, and everything is settled.
Zhang Xing came to Suning and conveyed the latest situation to Suning
"Thanks to the crucial clues you provided, we were able to successfully proceed to the Book City to investigate and verify. However, when we arrived at our destination, the monster corpse you mentioned had vanished. Apart from bloodstains and countless monster footprints, nothing else was left."
Su Ning frowned upon hearing this and asked, "So, so far, we still haven't found the whereabouts of any of the missing persons?"
Zhang Xing shook his head with a gloomy face. "There really is no gain at all."
Then, he said thoughtfully, "In my opinion, the recent series of mysterious disappearances of women in our shelter are probably related to this incident. It must be the work of a mastermind controlling the monsters."
Su Ning standing by was also puzzled. He had no idea what ulterior motive Yan Liuxing had that required so many women to achieve it.
Back in the dormitory, Suning began to practice his [Medusa] skills.
Improve the proficiency of the skill. If you don't want to switch to the snake method state first, you can petrify the enemy after looking at you.
