Chapter 515: The Disappearance of Zeng Peng



People with special abilities have very sharp hearing, so Zeng Peng naturally heard what Yin Chengtian said.

He changed his attitude towards Xie Hengrui and said respectfully to Lu Hao and the others, "Please rest assured, I will find someone to watch him. That kid is extremely timid, I don't think he would dare to do anything."

"Captain Zeng, it's better to be careful."

Lu Hao simply replied that they were naturally not afraid of Xie Hengrui, but he felt that Xie Hengrui would not give up so easily.

“Thanks for the reminder.”

Zeng Peng nodded and led the team members behind him to their temporary lounge.

"Gone?"

Su Jin asked as he looked at the three people who walked in.

"Well, let's go, everyone, let's eat."

When Lu Hao came in, he closed the door of this office as well. Because Lu Guanhai wanted to eat the fruit in the space, he went to the front to close the door, but he didn't expect to hear the conversation at the door.

Su Jin immediately took out a few sweet and sour tomatoes and distributed them to everyone.

Liao Yifan didn't expect that she could eat tomatoes in the snowy winter, and these tomatoes were all plump and red, so she couldn't help but take a bite.

"It's delicious, the best thing I've ever eaten!"

She omitted the word "tomato" at the end, as it would be bad if someone outside heard it.

"Sister Yifan, there's no one outside, don't worry"

Mao Qiqi also took a bite of tomato and said, with her following, there is no need to worry about ears on the other side of the wall.

Before the end of the world, what Xue Wanyi hated most was eating tomatoes. But as soon as he took a bite of the tomato Su Jin gave him, his previous understanding of tomatoes was overturned. Isn’t it too delicious?

Lu Guanhai was very proud, but he couldn't say that all these were grown by him, so he could only eat the tomatoes in his hand silently.

Li Haochu always felt that the teams selected by the base to participate in the mission and the escort team were very harmonious, and there was no conflict between the military and civilians. He also heard that during the lunch break, a psychic from the Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers team wanted to switch to the Xinyu team, but he only regarded this matter as a small episode.

But he didn't expect that this little episode would cause so much trouble.

Zeng Peng had people keep an eye on Xie Hengrui, and he only went out for a short while, saying he was going to the bathroom, and then came back.

Zeng Peng had imagined that he might use his speed ability to attract zombies to take revenge, but it was freezing outside, so let alone attracting zombies, it was possible that he would accidentally fall into a zombie den.

Besides, he can only attract a few hundred zombies at a time. There are so many people with special abilities here that they won’t be afraid at all.

But when everyone was getting ready to leave, Zeng Peng disappeared.

The members of the Sun Moon Mountain River Team thought Zeng Peng had gone to the toilet, so they kept waiting in the abandoned office building. However, they waited and waited, and even Captain Li sent people to urge him, but there was still no sign of Zeng Peng.

They then had a bad feeling and searched the small building thoroughly, even in the surrounding snow, but they did not see any trace of Zeng Peng.

"There is indeed one person missing. This person is not within the range of my map."

In the room with closed doors and windows, Mao Qiqi said to Li Haochu and Ye Rongxin who came.

She counted the number of people in the building twice on the small map, but it was still one less than the number Li Haochu said.

"That's weird. Could it be that he was accidentally eaten by a zombie when he went to the bathroom?"

Li Haochu frowned.

"This possibility is very low. Besides, Captain Zeng is a level 5 psychic. However, I think it is very likely that Captain Zeng was murdered."

Lu Hao said that without Mao Qiqi's confirmation, it would be difficult for him to analyze the situation. However, there had been no zombies or high-level zombies around here just now. Even if Zeng Peng went out, he would not be able to get out of Mao Qiqi's map range in such a short time.

But that person disappeared for no reason and was not shown on Kiki's map, which means he was dead.

“No body was found”

Ye Rongxin said that the building was not big, and he and others had just searched every room separately, but there was no body.

"Could there be another accomplice? Did they hide the body in space?"

Li Haochu suddenly felt that the scene had become suspenseful.

"I'll go find the person who just had a conflict with him."

Like Li Haochu, Ye Rongxin suspected that it was Xie Hengrui who had a conflict with Zeng Peng who did it.

However, Xie Hengrui flatly denied it and even burst into tears on the spot.

"Captain Zeng has been incredibly kind to me. Even though I'm young and ignorant, I wouldn't do anything bad to him. I'm hoping he'll forgive me and let me stay in the team."

Xie Hengrui's crying made the family present believe it a little.

Ye Rongxin found a palm-sized iron box on him.

"What's this?"

Ye Rongxin asked.

When Xie Hengrui saw the iron box, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, which did not escape Lu Hao's eyes.

"This is a souvenir a friend gave me. I always carry it with me."

After calming down, Xie Ruiheng wiped his tears with his sleeve and said.

Ye Rongxin also expressed doubts about Xie Hengrui's words and immediately opened the iron box.

There was a small bunch of moss inside.

Micro landscape plants?

"moss?"

Ye Rongxin just felt strange, and the next second the iron box in his hand was knocked to the ground by a sudden vine.

The moss did not fall out of the iron box, and no strange phenomenon appeared. Ye Rongxin looked at Su Jin in surprise. Why did she react so strongly?

And everyone in the Xinyu team became alert instantly.

For a moment, Li Haochu felt that Su Jin and the others were overreacting. There was nothing in the small iron box.

"Is it mutant moss?"

Lin Xiuyuan also jumped up nervously.

They had encountered this thing once before, and it was very difficult to deal with.

"Mutated moss?"

It was the first time Li Haochu heard of such a thing.

A figure quickly flashed towards the door. Just as Xie Hengrui was about to open the door, a vine dragged him over and tied him up tightly.

"It seems that you know about this mutant moss? You used it to kill Zeng Peng."

The second half of Su Jin's sentence was affirmative.

Lu Hao had already picked up the iron box, but the moss did not make any extra movements. It just stayed quietly in the iron box without moving. Lu Hao even doubted whether it was ordinary moss.

But he also knew that it was definitely not.

Otherwise, Xie Hengrui would not have been able to escape.

Xie Hengrui had not expected that the people from Xinyu Team would actually recognize the moss. In addition, he had always felt guilty, so he thought of using his speed ability to escape, but he was still caught.
