Chapter 479 Beast Disaster. Emergency
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky in the forest had begun to grow gloomy.
Gu Ye and Wang Guan traveled for three hours and covered more than 70 kilometers. The tributary river was about to disappear, but they didn't see a single person.
The intercom had been unable to communicate for a long time, and the two of them calculated the date based on the information given by Chu An.
Mou Ci and others have been missing for eight days. There were ordinary people in their team, and they encountered dangers one after another. Their daily marching speed should be 20-30 kilometers.
They are now about 160 kilometers away from the last distress signal. According to the distance, they should be able to find the team, but so far they still have found nothing.
Did I take the wrong path? Is the correct path going the way of Xiao An?
"Captain Wang, why don't I get off the car and walk a distance to see if there are any marks." Gu Ye suggested.
"good."
They used this method all the way, so they didn't move very fast.
Wang Guan stopped the car and Gu Ye jumped out. He was becoming less and less confident in his search. But if Xiao An found it, he would send out a red flare and he would have to continue until he saw the flare. All he could do was search more carefully.
"Carry a gun." Wang Guan reminded.
Gu Ye slung his submachine gun in front of him and walked along the river, turning into the woods from time to time to take a look.
Suddenly, his peripheral vision was attracted by a touch of blue. Under a big tree diagonally in front of him, the thick and protruding roots blocked the rest of the object. It was hard to tell whether it was a backpack or a person, but the color definitely had an industrial feel.
He hurriedly told Wang Guan on the intercom, then carefully moved towards "blue" and stopped about two meters away from blue.
Not only were the roots of the tree high, they also leaned inwards. There were also a lot of weeds and dead leaves around it, so it was still impossible to tell what the thing was.
"Is there anyone?" Gu Ye asked tentatively, having already ruled out the idea that it was a person. It was impossible for the person to remain motionless so close, unless...
He asked again, "Hello, is anyone there?"
There was no answer except the sound of the wind.
At this time, Wang Guan also came to his side. The two exchanged glances. Wang Guan kept watch while Gu Ye went over to check.
He walked over cautiously. The blue one was a windbreaker of very good quality. Looking down, he saw shrunken pants and hiking boots. Next to them were a hiking bag and a walking stick. It was just a pile of clothes arranged into a human shape.
He looked up and saw that it was covered with weeds and dead leaves. He felt something was wrong. How could someone lay out clothes for fun in such a deep forest?
He squatted down and pushed aside the dead leaves and grass. His pupils suddenly contracted and he saw a face that looked like a mummy on top of his collar, but it was not a mummy.
This was a very thin man who had stopped breathing. His eyes and mouth were wide open when he died.
He had heard people joke before that someone was too thin and that you couldn't tell there was someone there even when covered with a quilt. He thought it was exaggerated at the time, but it was not until this moment that he had a direct feeling that a person could really be this thin.
If I hadn't seen the head of the corpse, I would have had no idea that there was a person under the clothes. It was like a deflated balloon lying under the loose jacket, with no movement at all.
He made a safe gesture to Wang Guan, who hurried over to check the condition of the body.
The dead man was a man, about 30 years old, with no obvious external injuries. Gu Ye looked through the backpack and found only a few clothes and nothing else.
"He should be a member of Professor He Jingze's team." Wang Guan said.
"Did he starve to death?" Gu Ye was a little unconvinced.
He remembered Chu An saying that when the natural disaster occurred, senior He Jingze and his team led students to do their research projects in the desert, and there was an experienced team leader who took care of their food and daily life.
It is impossible that these people have no survival experience at all. Moreover, they are agriculturists and top talents in the agricultural field. The minimum educational level must be a master's degree.
The most important thing is that they still have Mou Ci!
This is a forest rich in natural resources. Anyone with some experience in surviving in the wild will not starve to death here.
"It's a bit abnormal." Wang Guan dragged the body out. He couldn't care less now. Danger was everywhere. He had to find out the cause of death as soon as possible.
He opened the corpse's jacket and found that almost all of the man's ribs were broken, which was basically a fatal injury in this area.
Was he abandoned?
The two men looked at each other and put the idea behind them. Mou Ci would never do such a thing.
Just because he couldn't do it doesn't mean others couldn't do it. Wang Guan suddenly felt something moving under his feet, and rushed Gu Ye out. One of his feet was caught by the rope, and the whole person was instantly hung up.
Gu Ye got up from the ground and shot directly to break the rope. The crown fell down, rolled twice and picked up the gun.
"Over there." Gu Ye pointed diagonally ahead.
"I'll go over and take a look, you drive the car." Wang Guan stopped Gu Ye and chased after him alone.
Gu Ye understood that if they got lost in the woods, without the equipment in the car, the two of them could only protect themselves and would not be able to complete the search mission.
"Be careful." After Gu Ye shouted, he immediately went back to find the car.
As soon as we got out of the forest, we saw two people standing in front of the car, and a soldier sitting on the ground, dying.
What's going on?
The most obvious injury to the soldier was his leg. His right leg was broken in a strange direction, and the rise and fall of his chest was not very obvious.
The two people standing next to him looked very strange. One was thin, a little hunched, with wrinkles all over his face, and he should be over 50 years old. He held a gun and pointed it at the soldier's head, "Don't move, or I'll kill him."
The other one was a burly man, about the same height as Gu Ye, with a big beard, and he should be around 30 years old. He was holding a pair of large scissors and looked fierce.
"Who are you?" Gu Ye took a step back, trying to hide his body in the shadows of the woods.
"Don't care who we are, put down your weapons, or we will kill him." The bearded man shouted.
"Do you think I will be threatened?" Gu Ye didn't dare to answer rashly, so he had to remove his identity from the searcher first, "Now is the end of the world. Do you know what the end of the world is? In the end of the world, who will care about the life and death of others?"
