Chapter 226 Investigating the scene
The sense of security arising from leaving Lu Island is only relative.
It’s not that Chen Xiao can be completely relieved now, but that the sense of crisis that Ludao gave him is not that heavy now.
There is still a sense of crisis. In this environment, unless you are heartless, no one can really have no sense of crisis at all.
Ludao seems to be a safer place in the province now, because many mutated creatures and zombies were cleaned up by the army.
In addition to the various creatures that suddenly disappeared on Ludao Island, before the emergence of marine life, Ludao can be said to be the quietest city in the world.
After passing several counties under Quancheng along the way, Chen Xiao also felt like he was returning to the beginning of the end of the world.
Zombies and mutant creatures can be seen everywhere in cities and suburbs. When they get closer, they are attracted by the noise from the convoy.
There is almost no life in the villages along the way, and many villages cannot even see zombies.
The convoy arrived at the section of the highway where the accident happened yesterday without any danger. According to the plan, the convoy stopped one kilometer away from the accident site.
After stopping the convoy, Wang Wenbing walked out of the armored vehicle and came to the truck that Chen Xiao was riding, and shouted to Chen Xiao: "General, the guard platoon has been prepared, and you can accompany the general to check at any time."
"You stay and protect the truck, order everyone to keep your mind alert." Chen Xiao shook his head and replied.
"But General, the first job of the guard platoon is to protect you." Wang Wenbing continued to speak.
"Now your mission is to protect the convoy and to threaten me. It's not something you can deal with."
Chen Xiao didn't want to bring the burden forward, and could silently kill a kilometer-long convoy in just a few minutes. Such a guy is not a good guy.
To put it nicely, the soldiers in the guard platoon are to protect Chen Xiao's safety. If such protection is placed before the disaster, it can indeed bring Chen Xiao a great sense of security.
But now, once you encounter powerful mutant creatures, Chen Xiao has to take care of them in turn.
The guard platoon is simply an optional thing, and perhaps its only function is to start.
The reason why Wang Tianfang arranged a platoon of guards for Chen Xiao was to deal with some simple things for Chen Xiao’s subordinates.
Even Chen Xiao cannot handle the dangers he encounters. Unless he uses super weapons, he cannot change anything by relying on conventional troops.
Wang Wenbing did not continue speaking, but could only watch Chen Xiao and the other four jump out of the truck and walk forward.
He walked to yesterday's convoy vigilantly. Chen Xiao didn't dare to be careless at all.
The formation in front of me was generally still neat, but the trucks behind me collided with each other.
Chen Xiao, who was walking on the highway, had most of his sight blocked by the truck, and the several tanks following on both sides of the truck were intact.
There were no blood or traces seen at the scene, and the guardrails on both sides of the expressway were even intact. The drainage ditches and isolation nets below did not seem to be damaged.
"Wanting. Go to the mountain and observe the situation. I'll take a look around." Chen Xiao pointed to the hillside on the side of the expressway and said to Liang Wanting.
Liang Wanting nodded, held Luo Xingbow tightly on her left hand, and pulled out eight feathered arrows from the quiver on her back with her right hand, and sandwiched them between five fingers.
The Lingshuang short sword that Chen Xiao gave her was always hung on her waist as a defensive weapon for melee combat.
"Be careful, let me know if there is any situation."
When Liang Wanting left, Chen Xiao did not forget to give a message, and the latter nodded without looking back, indicating that he knew.
The section of the highway where the accident happened is located in a mountainous area, and the road passes through a mountainside with an altitude of about 200 meters.
The expressway is directly dug from the mountainside, and the commanding heights are on the mountain beside the expressway. In order to prevent landslides, the dug mountain is reinforced by rocks, leaving a small steep staircase.
Watching Liang Wanting walk to the top of the mountain, Chen Xiao then walked into the convoy with two little loli.
Entering the convoy, what Chen Xiao wants to know most now is what happened here yesterday.
All the truck doors were closed, and the machine guns on the roof of the cab were intact, but the driver of the cab and the two soldiers on the roof all disappeared.
The windows are intact, the doors are intact, and there is no trace of even the asphalt on the ground, and there is no bullet casing here. In other words, the 200 machine guns on these two hundred trucks have not been fired at all when they are attacked.
The tanks and armored vehicles following on both sides of the convoy are even more strange.
Whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle, the doors are not locked, and the hatch doors above the tank cab are all open.
If the tank cab door is open, it can be explained that the driver exposed his head and drove the tank.
But even the infantry hatch door of the rear door of the armored vehicle was not locked and could be opened directly from the outside, which was very strange.
I checked every armored vehicle and every tank. There was no one inside, and no shell was found, but the person was gone.
Nearly a thousand people disappeared completely like this.
If this matter was done by the mutant creature, everything Chen Xiao saw now would be doubtful.
It cannot be explained at all, unless the mutant creature can not only make all soldiers lose resistance in an instant, but will also open the car door to eat or take away all the soldiers and drivers.
But even if there are such a wise mutant creatures, there is no need to do so.
But if it is artificial, then things are not simple. If hundreds of awakened people act together and take some measures, they can also be done within a few minutes.
And take the people inside to the range of searching for fighter infrared equipment in just a few minutes.
But what's the point of doing this?
After checking every corner of the entire convoy, Chen Xiao had no evidence yet, he was very sure that this was definitely not done by some mutant creature.
It was a premeditated attack, which was man-made.
"Wang Wenbing, bring the guards to rank."
Wang Wenbing was very fast, and the soldiers from the guard platoon immediately drove six armored vehicles to the rear of the convoy.
"Are there anyone in the convoy who understands criminal investigation, or are there any relevant criminal investigation equipment?" Chen Xiao immediately spoke as soon as he saw Wang Wenbing.
"Yes." Wang Wenbing nodded.
"I suspect that the convoy was attacked by the awakened ones, and gathered all the people and equipment who knew criminal investigation, conducted a comprehensive inspection of the convoy, and at the same time, let the backup drivers in our convoy..."
