Chapter 599 Three Holes in the Ground
Three more people are missing, casting a shadow over everyone's heart.
Everyone was discussing this in private.
"Why did he disappear? Was he killed by Boss Yao again?"
"I don't think so. Those two only said that Boss Yao killed one of their people."
"Where did the three of them go later?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Is there any man-eating beast on the island?"
"It's hard to say. There are all kinds of man-eating beasts in the apocalypse. But they all have guns in their hands. They won't just let them eat them without firing a shot."
"How strange..."
The team became restless and people were not at peace.
Liu Chong knew he couldn't wait any longer.
He gave each group a walkie-talkie.
This thing can receive signals within a range of three to five kilometers, and you can talk smoothly as long as you are within the signal range.
However, the specific call range also needs to take into account the island's terrain and vegetation coverage.
"Okay, each group should set off. If you encounter danger, you can use the walkie-talkie to call for help, or assist each other in the action." Liu Chong announced the departure.
Each group took action.
One hundred armed men were left at the dock to protect the three ships and load the metal materials they found onto the ships.
They would stay on the island for a few days, and the fleet would return to the ark after being fully loaded with supplies.
Yao Tao was not in a hurry to go to the island. She came to Liu Chong and said, "I want to go to the place where those three people disappeared. Is that okay?"
Liu Chong nodded and said, "I'll go too."
He is the captain in charge of this operation, and this matter must be investigated thoroughly.
So Yao Tao and Bai Lin followed Liu Chong's men to the place where the three people disappeared.
The two people who had previously falsely accused Yao Tao of murder looked at each other and followed behind.
When they arrived near the station, the armed officer pointed to a bush and said, "The guns and backpacks of the three missing people were found here."
Liu Chong walked over to check.
Yao Tao stood there without moving. She first looked at Bai Lin's reaction.
Bai Lin didn't react at all.
Only then did Yao Tao follow Liu Chong.
The grass on the ground was dead, and Liu Chong trampled it down with his feet so that he could see more clearly.
There was no trace of blood on the exposed soil, and no signs of a fight around.
Yao Tao suddenly discovered something and squatted down.
"What did you find?" Liu Chong came over.
There are three holes in the ground.
Each hole is the size of an egg.
Liu Chong touched the hole in surprise and said, "It doesn't look like a snake hole."
"Hmm." Yao Tao leaned over and sniffed, "There's no smell of wild animals."
"Is there anything special about these three holes?" Liu Chong asked.
"I'm not sure yet." Yao Tao suddenly stood up. "I want to go and see the scene of the first missing person."
So Liu Chong and others went to the place where people first shouted for help.
Yao Tao searched in the nearby grass for a long time and found three holes.
Liu Chong was confused. "You mean the missing people were killed by the things in these three holes?"
"I don't know either, but I always feel that this is too coincidental." Yao Tao remembered the rustling sound behind her when she was in the bushes before.
When she went to check, she found nothing unusual, only three holes on the ground.
She looked around again and still found nothing.
"Forget it, let's go find supplies." Yao Tao gave up on further exploration. She and Bai Lin left Liu Chong and the armed men and went down the road to the east leading to the seaside.
Liu Chong and several armed men stayed where they were and continued searching.
Yao Tao and Bai Lin walked for a while, and Bai Lin said, "There's someone behind us."
"I know." Yao Tao didn't even turn his head.
Following behind them were the two people who had previously falsely accused Yao Tao of murder.
They followed Yao Tao and Bai Lin all the way to the seaside resort.
Yao Tao took out a bow and arrow, ready to deal with the trouble behind him before starting to search for supplies.
She hid behind a tree, ready for an ambush.
"Rustle, rustle..." A slight sound came from the bushes.
Yao Tao was stunned.
It's that sound again.
She looked up at the bushes where the sound came from.
What's hiding in the dead trees of winter?
She drew her bow and aimed at the bushes...
Suddenly, a man's scream was heard in the distance.
"Ahhh, help!"
Yao Tao, holding a bow and arrow, followed the sound and saw two guns and two backpacks lying on the ground...
The two people who had been following them were gone.
