Song Zhixian frowned, "Judging from the heartbeat, it's indeed a human."
Xiao Yao asked, "Is it the team stationed at the base? Is it possible that they lost their car?"
Song Zhixian felt that this possibility was very low, but it was not impossible.
This place is only a few hours away from the base. If the infected creatures destroy the vehicle, it is not impossible to walk back.
"If so, I should know him." Song Zhixian stood up and said, "I'll go down and take a look at the situation."
"I'll go with you." Xiao Yao also stood up. "If the three of them get infected, you might not be able to handle it alone."
Song Zhixian did not refuse Xiao Yao's kindness. The two of them got out of the car. In the dark night, three people who came out of the forest also looked at them.
When Xie Xuan came out of the bathroom, she found that Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian were missing.
Because Song Zhixian now has her shadow on him, she can feel Song Zhixian's position and condition.
Song Zhixian was just outside the car and was not in danger of death, so Xie Xuan didn't rush out.
But it was a bit strange that Xiao Yao was not in the car either. Could it be that the two of them went to have a friendly exchange of post-operative experiences?
Xiao Yao is also a powerful psychic, and he probably also has the trouble of being infected by the bacteria. He rejected her so bluntly just now, and maybe he wants to change his mind now.
Xie Xuan walked to Chongming with all sorts of thoughts in her mind. Just as she was about to ask where Xiao Yao had gone, she saw five dark figures standing outside the car.
Five? Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, then carefully sensed the aura outside the car. They were all the auras of psychics, the only difference being the intensity.
Two of them are very strong, and the other three are slightly weaker. It is easy to distinguish Xiao Yao, Song Zhixian and the other three.
"What's going on?" Xie Xuan asked.
"As you can see," Chongming said calmly, "we encountered three people."
Xie Xuan nodded, "I see. Besides that, what else? Where are these three people stationed?"
Chongming turned to look at Xie Xuan and smiled slightly. "This is what makes this matter interesting. This is a garrison team that disappeared last year. But they said they had just come out of the domain and had no idea that a year had passed."
Xie Xuan was stunned, then frowned again, "This situation is a bit like the eye I saw at the garrison before."
Chongming nodded, "It's a bit similar."
Xie Xuan looked at the three dark shadows outside the window and didn't know what to do with them.
Firstly, these people are Song Zhixian's subordinates. Secondly, these people are most likely no longer healthy and complete. Even if they are people with special abilities, it is impossible for them to stay in the field for a whole year and remain unharmed.
Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian didn't know what they said to them, and then Xie Xuan saw Song Zhixian taking them into the car.
After seeing Xie Xuan come out, Song Zhixian looked at Chongming, who nodded slightly to him.
Xie Xuan understood the eye contact between them, "Zhongming briefly explained the situation to me. What are you going to do?"
Song Zhixian said, "My idea is to take them in for one night. I'll contact the people at the base and ask them to come pick them up tomorrow morning."
He paused after saying this, "But how to do it depends on your ideas. You are my captain now."
Not only the captain, but even Song Zhixian's life is in Xie Xuan's hands.
Xie Xuan looked at the three people behind Song Zhixian. They all looked like ordinary psychics, with a bit of confusion and bewilderment in their expressions.
"Let's do it this way," Xie Xuan said. "Zhongming and I will keep watch all night, and you guys can rest. Tomorrow morning, after the people at the base pick up the people, we'll continue our journey."
Song Zhixian nodded, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Xie Xuan said. "There's extra food and water here if they need it."
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Yao waved at her, motioning her to come over and talk.
Xie Xuan followed Xiao Yao out of the car, and Xiao Yao said, "According to them, they entered the domain while on a mission to the small town ahead. However, they didn't even realize they had entered the domain at the time. They just felt very sleepy suddenly and fell asleep in the car."
Xie Xuan frowned and thought as he listened.
"After waking up, they found that the RV had run out of power. Because they carried out this mission last year at about the same time, they didn't notice any changes in the surrounding environment. After the RV became immobile, they tried to walk back to the base, and then they met us."
It sounds like a very ordinary yet bizarre story, just like the story of the man in ancient times who watched someone else play a game of chess and then turned around to find that his axe was rotten.
It’s just that the time span of this story is not that long, just one year.
"Are these three people on the same mission as the one we saw at the base yesterday?" Xie Xuan asked.
"Song Zhixian asked the people at the garrison, and they said yes," Xiao Yao said, "but there's no basis for this, because the team at C7 garrison was almost wiped out last year."
Xiao Yao seemed to be worried that Xie Xuan didn't have a clear understanding of the word "annihilation," so he elaborated, "A total of eight teams, twenty-four people, no one survived. Only six are confirmed dead, and the other eighteen are missing. And it happened between the end of the rainy season and the beginning of the snowy season."
"Then why do you say almost?" Xie Xuan asked.
"Because Song Zhixian is still alive." Xiao Yao's expression was dim in the night. "He was the person in charge of the C7 outpost, but he also participated in the exploration missions of other teams. Last year, he and the logistics staff were the only ones in the entire C7 outpost who returned alive."
Xie Xuan nodded after hearing this. "That's good. He's very lucky and a good fit for our team."
When Xiao Yao heard this, he didn't know what to say.
"So what are your plans? Will we continue into the town tomorrow as planned?" Xiao Yao asked, "or take a longer detour to the second sample collection point?"
Xie Xuan thought for a moment, patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder, and leaned over to him to speak frankly: "Do you think that with our unlucky constitutions, trouble has already come to us, and we can still wait until tomorrow morning to decide whether to go in or not?"
Xiao Yao frowned, "Please stop being such a pessimist."
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "If we can safely see the sun tomorrow morning, it won't be too late to consider this issue."
Xiao Yao sighed, "Okay."
When the two returned to the car, Song Zhixian had already arranged for them to go to bed and rest. Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao's beds were still empty.
Song Zhixian was standing next to Xie Xuan's bed, "I can..."
"Sure." Xie Xuan said.
"No." Xiao Yao and Chongming said in unison.
Song Zhixian was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "I can keep watch, Xie Xuan, you just rest."
