MTL - My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!-Chapter 608 Clues, a timeline that doesn't match!

"This taste..."

Sensing that something was wrong, Soma immediately frowned and greeted the team to stop.

The snowflakes falling in the sky have not completely stopped now.

Floatingly, the smell of most creatures and the rancid smell of things will be covered.

It can break through this barrier, and can clearly transmit the taste of hundreds of meters.

It's hard to imagine that if it weren't for the snow cover, I'm afraid the foot of the mountain could be smelled in the distance.

"Call the second team over, don't act rashly yet."

With Soma's order.

The second team, who had been detouring, also discovered the problem in the cave. After receiving the signal from the home team, they completely removed their disguise and started to move forward at full speed.

In less than five minutes, the two teams successfully converged at 100 meters from the cave.

And here, even some people with a dull sense of smell can clearly smell the stench of blood coming from the cave.

"Director, I'm afraid it's not..."

The smell is savory, and most people's subconscious reaction is to take a half step back and start to take the mask strap from their waist.

But only Feng Tianmin and a few people looked at the dark cave entrance with serious faces, carefully discerning the information conveyed by the smell with their noses.

Shaking his head, he indicated that he didn't know.

Soma took the binoculars from the small leather pocket around his waist and began to look at the dark entrance of the cave.

Like the cliff territory, crooked characters and symbols are also engraved on the outside of the cave in this murderous territory, representing the identity of the people living inside.

It's just that most of the fonts are covered with snowflakes these days. Obviously, no one has come to clean up here for a long time, and it's accumulated.

Observing the wall close to the outside, there are basically no traces of burning, which means that there is no accident such as a fire inside, which caused the current appearance.

"Tell Liu Jai and Liu Zhen to come over!"

After continuing to observe for a while, after getting some key information, Soma gave an order without raising his head.

Soon, the two Liu brothers who were at the back of the line stepped forward.

"Are there more Westerners who lived in this territory before?"

Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "It seems to be the territory of foreigners. We really haven't seen us Chinese people in the crowd that confronted us when we passed by last time."

"When they were entrenched in this area, did they provoke any powerful gathering places?"

Liu Xian thought about this question for a while, and then said unsurely: "It should not be. Although there are many human gathering places in this ten thousand li mountain, only the origin camp in the center of the mountain can be called relatively powerful. , and further out there are basically few more than a thousand people, and there are suitable gathering places for armed forces.”

"In addition, Dawangshan has already reached the periphery. If someone really comes to seek revenge, we are so close that we won't receive any news!"

They are all neighbors. It is not easy to clean up the camp of two or three hundred people quietly.

Either it is like the mysterious group of people who came out of the ruins, and they have technological weapons of unknown power, which can produce the effect of reducing the dimension.

Either there are too many people, and they can use their strength to crush the opponent head-on without causing any waves.

Others, such as division tactics, poisoning food, and air-drug operations, have many constraints.

It belongs to the operation that is very simple to think of, and if it is implemented carelessly, it will have the opposite effect.

"Go, go in and have a look!"

Thinking left and right, Soma held his mind and no longer hesitated.

Whoops!

The order fell, and the team of hundreds of people began to divide into ten pairs in an orderly manner, sprinting towards the last hundred meters in the shape of an arrow.

Because of the mask, the smell has been cut off nine times out of ten.

Even if there are other toxic ingredients remaining in the taste, it will not pose a big threat in a short time.

"Teams 1, 2, 3, and 4 will come in with me. Teams 5, 6, 7 and 7 will be on guard outside. Teams 8 and 90 will use the cave as the coordinate origin to search for suspicious traces within 500 meters of the surrounding area."

At the entrance of the cave, everyone could clearly see the blood that had condensed into solid on the ground.

Like a blood-colored centipede.

The traces were crooked, and accompanied by a few terrifying **** handprints, it turned into a horror movie scene.

Fortunately, it was still daytime, and there were many people present, so that the atmosphere would not spread.

Take out the flashlight.

Raise the torch.

Turning the rifle on his back to the ready-to-fire mode, four teams of forty people, including the two Liu brothers, began to cautiously probe in under the leadership of Soma.

"There should have been a battle here, and the opponent should still have a gun!"

He didn't take four or five steps into the cave, and when he saw the traces on the cave wall, Soma took a step forward, took off his gloves and rubbed lightly on the traces.

Anyone who has used a gun is familiar with this trace, which is the scorch mark left by the bullet rubbing against the wall.

When I got to the tip of my nose and smelled it, the slightly irritating smell could match.

"A gun shoots a bow and arrow?"

"I said that this group of people robs passers-by every day, and sooner or later something will happen. It seems that this is a bad retribution!"

I don't know the seriousness of the matter. Liu Jiao laughed and laughed, and didn't take this discovery seriously.

In his opinion, what's happening in the murderer's territory is a simple act of seeking revenge, and it's a big trouble caused by the leader's lord bringing people around to provoke him.

It's not worth being so cautious!

However, Liu Jiao's confidence and courage were not destined to last long.

It was only less than five seconds before and after.

Just as he took a few steps forward carelessly, turned a corner, and was about to perform, he suddenly screamed, making everyone's heart tremble.

"What's wrong?"

For the first time, Somo subconsciously grabbed the gun **** in his hand and cautiously looked in the direction of the sound.

"Here, there is... someone here!"

"Someone?"

With a wink at the rear, Soma directly put his finger in the direction of the trigger, ready to shoot with a gun at any time.

In the cave, under such circumstances, if there are still people who can live in it.

Either a ruthless person who is used to life and death, or the murderer who created all these tragedies.

Both, no matter which one is, there is a very high threat.

For fear of being ambushed, the warriors with torches and flashlights were also very cautious, forming a three-person cover formation and slowly advancing.

"Director, there is a... mummified corpse!"

When he came to the corner where Liu Jiao was sitting down, under the light of the fire, the "people" in Liu Jiao's mouth naturally had nowhere to hide.

Following two steps forward, Su Mo Bian saw clearly the appearance of this mummified corpse.

"Is this all flesh and blood being drained?"

Look up.

The pale skin, completely losing its elasticity, clings tightly to the skeleton, revealing two black eye sockets.

The sunken chest and abdomen seemed to have been hit hard by a hammer, and crooked dry lines could be seen all over it.

Look down.

The dry thighs are like two branches, their dimensions are no longer than the thickness of an adult's arm, and the raised knee joints are like two javelins, poking directly on the ground.

Even the big feet that looked like a large size before became only the size of a child after losing their activity and filling their muscles.

"He has a wound on his neck!"

Feng Tianmin, who followed forward, had no fear in his heart, and while everyone was still looking at it, he picked up a branch and gently poked it at the neck of the mummified corpse.

A flip.

From here, everyone can see an obvious wound with their own eyes.

Beside him, Liu Jiao also looked at it for the first time, but just looking at it like this, he exclaimed directly:

Gu Zhen "Gears!"

The standard hexagonal gear is a symbol of modern industrial precision, full of a different kind of beauty.

If this thing is put in a toolbox or parts box, any adult from modern society will not look at it much.

But putting it on the neck of the mummified corpse caught everyone's attention for the first time.

"Is this the sign on the head of those mysterious people?"

Without hesitation, Soma asked directly.

Although Liu Jiao was shocked, he quickly replied: "Yes, it is the logo on their heads. Except for the number of protrusions on the gears, the appearance and size are all the same!"

I just heard about the center of the mountain yesterday, what happened.

Early this morning, I saw with my own eyes the traces left by the other party.

Knowing that it was an enemy who might collide directly in the future, Soma didn't suspect him, so he stepped forward and leaned down to investigate.

The owner of the mummified corpse should be a white man who was still in his prime.

In terms of physique, such a strong man is extremely capable of fighting. If they meet head-on, even if their fighting skills are mediocre, they will be able to fight against trained warriors for a period of time.

But the problem also lies here.

In addition to the gear wound on his neck, it was difficult to find a second wound after rummaging through his body.

"Keep looking, and see if there are any others like this in the cave!"

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Soma held his hands for a while, and the team dispersed into three directions, and began to explore along the cave.

Half an hour.

When all the mummified corpses were found and moved to the location of the cave exit.

Even Soma was rarely silent.

There are a total of 148 mummified corpses in the cave.

Although this does not match the number of people in the murderer's territory before, it is still more than half of the people.

Relying on the identification of the two brothers Liu Jie and Liu Zhen, it was easy to find the lord of this territory.

No difference from the first mummified corpse found, the white lord also had an obvious gear wound on his neck.

Obviously, the murderer is the same person, or the same group of people!

"That group of mysterious people chased here?"

The younger brother Liu Zhen first proposed a conjecture, then immediately shook his head and denied it.

the reason is simple.

In the wasteland, there are several possibilities for murder.

First, seek money.

Wealth and silk move people's hearts. No matter whether the perpetrators are rich or poor, or whether their supplies are in short supply, they all fight for this reason.

But for the first time, after searching the entire cave, seeking money was the first to be ruled out.

Without him, although the materials in the entire territory were scattered and piled on the ground, they could be counted according to the quantity, but they were not taken away.

Second, revenge.

It is also difficult to match this point. According to the descriptions of Liu Jiao and Liu Can, the establishment of the murderer's territory was established before the mysterious person broke through the restrictions of the ruins.

Despite being so far apart, and knowing the opponent's record, giving these bow-and-arrow people the courage to do anything, they wouldn't dare to make any mistakes.

Thirdly, homicide.

Again, this is a hard reason to convince.

After all, when the mysterious man came out, he didn't kill everyone, and there was no possibility of going crazy in the future.

Even if the mysterious man is really crazy, he will chase down this Dawang Mountain and clean up everyone in the murderer's territory with no effort.

Then there is absolutely no escape from the poisonous hands in the cliff territory.

"Director, come and see!"

While thinking, when he heard the warriors shouting inside, Soma put away his thoughts and walked towards the source of the sound.

It didn't go very far.

Halfway through the third tunnel, Somo saw Feng Long, the vice-captain who led the fourth team.

At this time, he was not observing the materials and facilities in the cave.

Instead, he was lying on the ground, staring at a blood-stained ground with light.

"Is there something wrong with the ground?"

He came closer and watched for a while. Although Soma felt familiar, he didn't remember where the familiar feeling came from.

"Director, it's not the ground that's the problem, it's the shoe print that's the problem!"

After three strokes and five divisions, Feng Long sat up straight and took off the special climbing boots on his feet.

This kind of boots is the first batch of finished shoes produced after the depression has recovered a little productivity.

It is specially supplied for the entire team to travel in snow, with considerable anti-skid, warm and wear-resistant properties.

The output of boots is not much, there are only a hundred pairs of boots in total, and there are not many boots distributed to each person, so all the soldiers pick them up as treasures, and they are usually very cherished.

At this time, Feng Long was taken off and compared with the other, Somo immediately discovered the problem.

"This sole pattern?"

Feng Long nodded, and by the way, he pressed the sole of his shoe beside him.

Immediately, except for a slight difference in size, two patterns with identical patterns appeared on the ground.

"Director, look!"

"Here, Marshal Wang and the others should have brought people here, and when they came, there should be no such tragic incident here."

"The blood on the shoe print is obviously from the back!"

The school that specializes in cultivating catching fast has a very professional course called traces.

The knowledge of this discipline is widely used in the detection of crime scenes, or in the pursuit of murderers, and can achieve extremely impressive results.

Li Hu and Feng Tianmin were both soldiers from the wild, and all they learned was battle-related knowledge.

However, Feng Long was born in a professional class. Although his combat power was a little weaker, he was a few blocks behind the first two in these respects.

"Yes, even if someone can imitate our shoe prints~www.novelbuddy.com~ it is impossible to make them exactly the same."

"If Marshal Wang and the others arrived here first, then the time of the murderer's crime can be inferred!"

Only in the details can we deduce the truth of the matter through clues.

According to the time of Marshal Wang's trip, the time of arrival here is judged according to the degree of blood coagulation.

A vague time interval emerges.

"The first three days, the first two days, the day before, the three days before the heavy snowfall disaster, did you hear any noises!"

The two Liu brothers were called, and Soma began to ask for evidence.

The two thought about it for a while, and then made a good memory in front of everyone, and shook their heads.

The two sides say it's not far, but the straight-line distance is as much as three or four kilometers.

In addition to the way up and down the mountain, unless there is a violent noise and obvious fire, it is difficult to detect the movement here.

Judging from the current strange situation in the cave, it is normal to not find any noise.

However, failing to provide information in this regard, his younger brother Liu Canth made a breakthrough in another aspect.

"About four or five days ago, a group of people passed by our territory at night."

"At that time, they proposed to come in and sit and see if they could exchange some items."

"But we turned them down when we saw they had guns."

"In the end, this group of people didn't get annoyed, and asked us about the direction to go down the mountain, and went to Dawang Mountain. Could it be them..."
