Chapter 25: Serial Killer.
Wild Dog shrugged. "No, Captain, I'm afraid of death. I won't go. Let her stay and cook for us. She said she's fine with us anyway."
It was rare for He Sheng to let his team get so angry: "Even you are joining them in making trouble?"
Wild Dog said, "Hey, Captain, don't you realize that you're the only one who's stubborn? The girl herself may not want to go to the base. If you don't believe me, ask her."
He Sheng was stunned and looked at Shu Lan. Shu Lan avoided his gaze and did not answer.
But it has already been answered.
His ex-fiancée often said that He Sheng was the straightest man in the universe, and that he was able to find a partner only because of his good looks.
Only then did He Sheng realize that when it came to guessing women's thoughts, he was indeed like a blockhead.
The air seemed to be filled with awkwardness. He Sheng's face was a little hot, and he finally said stiffly: "Chu Yi, if you are willing to stay, the third floor is an attic. Move out the sundries in it and use it as a place for you and the children to sleep. If you still feel it is inconvenient, when the weather is good, we will find some materials to build you a house and you can live in it yourself."
Shu Lan was flattered and said, "No, don't bother. The third floor is fine."
Wild Dog sneered in his heart. Some people said they would send people to the base, but in fact they had even thought about where they would sleep at night.
He threw the cigarette butt onto the ground and crushed it, then walked into the house: "You're not going out, right? Then I'll go back and go back to sleep."
As soon as Shu Lan returned, Monkey's rheumatism healed immediately. He diligently took a bucket of mountain spring water and said he would use his supernatural power to make hot water for her to take a bath.
Shu Lan said awkwardly, "But I don't have any change of clothes."
"There's one in the city. Let's go down the mountain with you to find it. Wild dog! Wild dog! Don't sleep anymore, let's go out!"
As soon as the wild dog lay down, he was pulled up by his teammates. He repeatedly protested that he didn't want to go, but was dragged into the car by his arms.
"Who just said I couldn't drive because of rheumatism? Who said I couldn't even straighten my legs because of diarrhea? Why is no one paying attention to me now that I can't go out? Captain, now that everyone is in the car, let's go to the survivor base in Area 15!"
Patrick covered his mouth and said: "This dog is talking in his sleep. Let's go into the city and collect some crystal cores to make a contribution to the future of mankind."
Shu Lan smiled, lowered her head and whispered to Shu Maomao, "Baby, these uncles are very nice."
It's a pity that she is a bad person who approaches with a purpose.
…
In the base of District 15, Jing Hongyu placed the four bodies that he had spent two days to find on the ground, his expression more serious than ever.
"Knife wounds, burial alive, beheading, and one death by suffocation. They didn't die at the hands of zombies."
Ji Lan couldn't figure it out: "If it was another superpowered person, why didn't they come with us to District 15, but instead killed the person and stole the car?"
Jing Hongyu shook his head: "Ci'an is at the intersection of several districts. Everyone knows that Ci'an is poor, so there is no need to go there specifically to rob things. Otherwise, our own people will follow them and seek revenge..."
At this point, Jing Hongyu recalled some old memories and looked up at Ji Lan in surprise. Ji Lan glared at him coldly, "What are you looking at? Do you think I did it? I admit that I hate them, but there's no need to kill four people with special abilities just because of some trivial matter at this time."
Jing Hongyu looked away awkwardly: "No, no, eh? I remember there's a person with special abilities who can read other people's memories. Call him over and see if he can read the memories of the dead."
Ji Lan also remembered that there was such a person. Because the ability to read memories was useless in clearing zombies, he was arranged to work with survivors without superpowers.
After knowing this person's special ability, no one wants to get close to him. Memory is a person's private area, and no one likes to have their privacy invaded.
When the man was summoned by the commander-in-chief, he looked confused, thinking that someone around him had complained about him for prying into privacy.
But the young commander came forward to greet him personally with a bright and enthusiastic smile, shaking his hand: "Here you are, my friend. It's time for you to brush up your record."
Four people with different causes of death suddenly came into view, causing a huge impact on people's senses and psychology. The man rushed out and vomited violently as soon as he came in.
Ji Lan shook his head: "Fortunately, it's a non-combat ability. With this kind of mental quality, he can't even kill zombies."
Jing Hongyu shook his head: "I vomited at first, too, but I got used to it after a while. My friend, don't run away after you vomit. We're waiting for you to solve the case!"
The man went in and out three times, and finally asked others to block his eyes before he had the courage to put his hand on the forehead of the corpse and concentrate on using his supernatural powers.
"I saw it... I saw it. It's not a coherent memory, just fragmented. There was a very young woman holding the hand of a little girl in a skirt. This person seemed to be chasing her."
Jing Hongyu's eyes lit up: "You're really good, a woman and a little girl, and then what? Is there anyone else?"
"No, there was only this mother and daughter. She was talking to this person, and a lot of dirt fell down!"
Ji Lan looked down at the person he was touching. Yes, it was Wang Dachuan who was dug out of the ground.
"I don't remember anything after that."
"Okay, next one."
The man was guided to the next dead person's location, squatted down, and placed his hand on the dead person's forehead.
"It was the same woman. She was getting into the car, in the passenger seat. Why did her expression suddenly change? There was a knife hidden in her hand. She wanted to kill this person. That was it."
Jing Hongyu's brows gradually furrowed: "The same woman?"
"Yes, the same woman."
"Look at the next one."
Ji Lan gave a wink and had the bodies quietly moved to another place, replacing the third person with the fourth, to prevent the person with special abilities from making up a story based on the circumstances of the death.
"It's that same woman again. She's hiding in the house, holding the little girl and the same knife she used to kill someone. Hey, the door is closed. Could this deceased person have clairvoyance?"
Ji Lan put aside her doubts. It was indeed Sun Yue, the clairvoyant who had peeped at her taking a bath before.
"Then there was no more. I don't know how this one died."
"Next."
"There was an opening in the sky, and something was falling. A little girl emerged from the dirt, and she had a knife in her hand. Then there was the woman, standing over the dead man, holding an axe in her hand, as if she was going to—Shit! I'm done watching!"
The person who read the memory withdrew his hand and covered his eyes.
Facing the serial killer from a first-person perspective is even scarier than the scariest horror movie.
Seeing him trembling with fear, Ji Lan said, "The body is covered. Open your eyes. We need to ask you some details."
The man opened his eyes cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw four pieces of white cloth.
Ji Lan held a piece of paper and a pen in her hand. "First, describe that woman. Besides her youth, what other characteristics does she have?"
"Very pretty..."
"Give me some details, like long hair, short hair, double eyelids, single eyelids, and roughly what age you are."
The man recalled, "Long hair, double eyelids, nothing special about his appearance, fair skin, about twenty years old, tall and thin, about the same build as the deputy commander."
Ji Lan nodded: "Can you guess from your memory what caused them to start chasing and fighting?"
"I've told you everything I saw. It's like a comic strip, just a few snippets. I can't even hear a complete sentence. I can't figure it out."
Jing Hongyu asked, "She killed people with a knife and an axe, so where did she get the soil to bury Wang Dachuan alive?"
"I just saw from the memory of a deceased person that there was an opening in the sky, and dirt was falling from that space. There seemed to be a lot of supplies inside, falling down with the dirt."
