Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

Chapter 273 273 Missing
"What! Our search team is missing?" Zhao Hui put down the cup of water in his hand and asked in surprise.

"Yes, Commander Zhao, the team that was patrolling near the railway as usual disappeared today." Li Qian, who came to report, was also very frightened. Many things were beyond his expectations.

"Send people to search for him, then immediately disperse the tourists nearby and double the size of the martial law area." Zhao Hui made the decision immediately.

"Yes! Three teams have been sent out to search."

"Well, remember to keep in touch with them at all times." Zhao Hui clenched his fists. It was a troubled time. "Have you found those people whose whereabouts are unknown?"

"Not yet. This area is mountainous, remote and sparsely populated. Those people never came back after they left. In addition, there are few surveillance cameras in the town. Although we have drawn a portrait based on the villagers' description, it will take some time to find the person." Li Qian reported the progress.

"But we have already sent the message to all public security bureaus, and have also activated the province's Sky Eye system. If there is any trace, it will be reported immediately."

Zhao Hui nodded, and couldn't help but sigh again. He then drove the people away and began to organize the information and prepare to report this emergency.

On the other side, the five members of the team that disappeared stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths wide open.

"This...this, this, is this the missing train?" Liu Hua was struggling to speak as he looked at the ruined train in front of him.

"It seems so." Xu Zhou on the side nodded heavily.

"What's going on? Where is this? How come we didn't find the train during so many patrols?"

"What happened to the car? Was it bombed? Was it a terrorist attack?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Contact Captain Li, the person has been found!"

The five team members calmed down after a temporary panic and started to contact people, only to find that there was no signal.

"There's no cell phone signal."

"There's no signal on the intercom."

...

"Is this place different than before?" one of the team members said in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, everyone began to shift their attention to the surrounding environment.

It’s different now. The sight is still of continuous mountains, but the shape, size, and vegetation of the mountains are completely different. Even the familiar signal tower is gone.

After a few minutes, several people did their own analysis together, and then decided to check the train first before considering it.

After going around the train, it was found that it was badly damaged. In addition to traces of the explosion, there were countless holes of different sizes on the carriages, which were not very regular. At least they were not caused by ammunition.

The incident happened very suddenly. The car was in a mess and there was a lot of luggage that had not been taken away. There were dried dark bloodstains everywhere, and the occasional body parts were quite shocking.

After going through the entire carriage, I didn't see a complete body or any signs of living people.

"Boss, this...is not something a human would do." Liu Hua was sweating, but he felt cold all over.

After some inspection, we came to a conclusion.

1. This is not the original world, they may encounter the legendary time travel.

2. The previously missing train was found, but all passengers on board were killed and it is uncertain whether there are any survivors.

3. There seems to be something beyond common sense here, and it is not safe.

Finally, they decided to find some daily necessities on the train, and then walk around the area to see if there was any chance to go back.

Backpack, jacket, snacks, water, medicine, etc...

Collect as many as you can.

There were wild grass as tall as a person nearby, trees in the distance, and mountains all around, without any trace of human habitation. At night, the five of them rested in the relatively clean dining car, and the food they collected was enough to feed them for a week, if they ate sparingly.

"We'll take turns on duty tonight, so stay alert and check around again tomorrow morning."

As the team leader, Chen Jia made the final arrangements. The result of the discussion among the others was the same. If there was no discovery by tomorrow, they could not just sit here and wait for death.

Yin Ling rested for two days and her whole condition was completely restored. Although her cultivation was not as good as Yin Ling here, she was thirty years old after all. The current results were achieved by her using spiritual liquid, plant essence and the exotic beast meat she secretly ate.

This train incident gave her a sense of urgency. This was very wrong. Every time she died before, her soul or consciousness remained in different bodies.

But this time, she! Came to this world with the train and hundreds of people in it!

A completely different concept!

"Qiaoqiao, help me weed in the morning, and then we can go to the nearest mountain together in the afternoon, okay?" Yin Ling touched Qiaoqiao's furry little head and coaxed her softly.

Qiao Qiao now helps her with half of her work, especially weeding, which Qiao Qiao is more skillful than her, so she can now stay in the field and practice quietly, while the little black rabbit helps her weed.

In the afternoon, Yin Ling said hello to her grandmother working in the field next door and left quietly.

After walking a mile and sensing that there was no one else nearby, Yin Ling took out the electric car from the space and drove quietly towards the nearest hill.

They are all small roads, and electric vehicles are convenient.

She went into the mountain to explore further, to see if there were any mutant plants that had not been cleared, and to look for any rare treasures that could speed up her cultivation.

But after a round, I was a little disappointed.

The mountains were covered with dense vegetation, but no mutated plants were found. Even the older trees had been cleared away. There were quite a few animals, and it was quite lively. No wonder Li Qi said that he would often hunt nearby. With his skills at the third level of Qi training, he could roam freely in this primeval forest.

On the other side, Chen Jia's team spent a thrilling night in the train carriage. After looking around the area early the next morning and finding nothing, they decided to leave.

Carrying food and clothes, the five people headed towards the east where the sun rises.

Even when the compass failed, they were still able to identify the direction, but they had some differences on which direction to go.

But with mountains all around, it was all a matter of luck as to where they went. In the end, it was the team leader Chen Jia who decided to head towards the direction where the sun was rising, which was the largest mountain range around.

Once the decision was made, the group began their journey.

Although Yin Ling didn't gain much, it didn't affect her mood. After all, she just came to explore the way and didn't have too high expectations.

But since he had come here, he couldn't return empty-handed, so Yin Ling took two pheasants with her when she returned. Each pheasant weighed about 2- jin, which was more than twice the weight before the spiritual energy appeared. It seemed that he was living a very good life under the nourishment of the spiritual energy.

When they returned to the field, the sun had not yet completely set, so Yin Ling called her grandmother to go home with her.

"This pheasant is so fat." Grandma Li Xiu'e couldn't help but touch the colorful pheasant in Yin Ling's hand again and again, and finally, she insisted on helping to carry one despite Yin Ling's objection.

"Of course not. They are not afraid of people. It's so leisurely to take a walk in the mountains." Yin Ling remembered that this pheasant was not only not afraid of people, but also rushed towards her majestically to compete with her when it saw her. Fortunately, it did not mutate.

Dinner was naturally stewed pheasant.

Now everyone is eating together. The food is provided by the local Li Qi. Yin Ling's two pheasants are a snack for everyone.

"That's great. Let's go to the mountains together tomorrow." Fu Gang said with great interest after drinking the chicken soup.

Although there is a lack of seasoning, adding some salt to the chicken soup, some fresh ginger, fennel for seasoning, a little bit of chili, and sprinkling some chopped green onions when serving will make it fragrant.

They are all natural and pure ingredients. Cook a big pot and it smells so good.

"I didn't expect the little girl had this skill. I haven't been to the mountains for a while. I'll call two more tomorrow and we'll go into the mountains together." Li Qi was in a very good mood and became more enthusiastic in teaching after dinner.
