Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 588 The Missing Case of Jincheng
Many lights and shadows quickly passed before his eyes.

In the snow in front of the door, with long black and white hair fluttering, in the old abandoned house, the building of the clock tower, in the purple light film, he embraced a woman with long black and white hair.

Everything floated through his mind in the blink of an eye, but disappeared immediately.

In the end, there is only one unfulfilled promise left.

"... From tomorrow on, can you call me Feifei..."

"Fifi!"

Kong Zhe blurted out unconsciously.

"Oh? What, what?"

Xue Feifei froze for a moment, and looked at the person in front of her in surprise. The address just now made her heart skip a beat, and her cheeks immediately turned red.

Xue Feifei's voice finally brought Kong Zhe back to his senses. At this moment, there was no phantom in his mind, and everything just now was like a dream.

Looking down, the hands of the two have been separated at this moment.

"nothing……"

He shook his head, frowning slightly.

It seemed that only he saw the scene just now.

That woman with long black and white hair... Is that Xue Feifei from the original world?
……

With the arrival of cold winter, the temperature in Jincheng is getting colder and colder.The winter in the last days is much colder than previous winters.

Even the awakened ones cannot stay outside for a long time if their physique is not good.

Of course, this is also for ordinary awakened people. For a master like Su Meiqin, this temperature is almost negligible.

At the gate of Jincheng, Su Meiqin was holding her spear in her arms, touching the ground with one foot, waiting boredly.

so slow...so slow...

As time passed, the black line on her forehead grew more and more.

"too slow!"

At a certain moment, she finally couldn't help but yelled out, attracting the attention of the pedestrians around her.

"Hmph! That guy, what the hell is he doing? Why hasn't he come back?"

Su Meiqin snorted coldly, put her hands on her chest, and leaned against the wall behind her with her eyes closed.There was plain unhappiness written all over his face.

At a certain moment, her ears moved suddenly, and then her face beamed with joy, and she opened her eyes and looked ahead.

She could already hear a familiar voice from afar.

Sure enough, following her gaze, Kong Zhe was walking towards here from a distance.

"finally come……"

Su Meiqin's face brightened, and when she was about to go there, she saw a group of people following him.This immediately made her stop in her tracks, and her face collapsed.

After thinking about it, she not only didn't go, but also trotted back to the city gate.

……

"...Then ah, such a whiff, it's super powerful..."

Lily, who was holding a staff in her hand, had a happy smile on her face, gesturing to herself.

Everyone around looked at her with a smile.

Kong Zhe also reached out and touched her head.

It was dusk at this time, and the group of them ended today's leveling.

"Hey, you have a new email, please check it in time!"

At this moment, there was a sound of prompting, and Kong Zhe froze for a moment, reached out and clicked on the email in the air.

The email shows that the sender is Su Meiqin.But the content inside is only one sentence.

"Look up!"

Kong Zhe was stunned for a moment, then raised his head subconsciously.In front of him was still the city gate that he usually saw, but this time, Kong Zhe could easily see a corner of the city wall where Su Meiqin was showing half of his head.

Spotting his gaze, Su Meiqin hurriedly waved to him.

"Uh……"

Kong Zhe couldn't help being speechless.At such a short distance, it’s over if you call him directly, do you need to send an email?

"Your Highness? What's the matter?"

The dragon on the side noticed Kong Zhe's abnormality and asked.

"nothing……"

Kong Zhe shook his head.He saw that Su Meiqin should have something to tell him, and he didn't want others to know.

"Go back first, I have something to do, I will go back later."

The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, but Kong Zhe didn't explain what was going on.Fortunately, this place is already within the safe zone, so there is no danger.

It wasn't until Kong Zhe watched the group leave that he walked to the city gate, jumped up with one step, propped his arms on the protrusion, and jumped onto the city wall lightly.

As soon as he reached the city wall, Kong Zhe saw Su Meiqin standing there with his arms crossed.

Her ears and cheeks were a little red, and her hair was covered with frost. It seemed that she had been standing here for a long time.

He walked over helplessly and said.

"So, what happened, why are you so sneaky? If there's anything to do, just go to the house and wait. Why are you freezing here?"

"It's long-winded. Who wants to go to your house? It depends on other people's faces!"

Su Meiqin couldn't help complaining.

"Uh... are you still angry about what happened that day?"

Kong Zhe shook his head with a wry smile.From the looks of it, the conflict between her and Lan was quite serious.

"Well, tell me, what happened?"

Kong Zhe chose to change the subject.

Speaking of this, Su Meiqin finally became serious.She sighed and said, "Actually, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"Find someone!"

"Find someone?"

Kong Zhe was stunned for a moment, Tuan Tuan went to him to see a doctor a few days ago, and now Su Meiqin asked him to find someone else.When did I have so many functions?

"Ah."

Su Meiqin nodded, glanced at him, and said: "I remember, you said before that your star power is to control plants, and it can also be used for searching, right?"

"This is..."

Kong Zhe nodded, so he was looking for someone like this.He can indeed know what happened around the plants through contact with the plants.

"What, is anyone missing?"

Kong Zhe asked.

"Who else is missing... You guy, don't you usually watch the news?"

Su Meiqin gave him a contemptuous look, and pointed down: "Didn't you notice that there are more missing person notices under the city gate recently?"

"is it?"

Kong Zhe was taken aback for a moment, but he really didn't notice this.

Besides, the people around him are not missing, they usually come and go, who has time to read the notice.

Looking at him, Su Meiqin knew that he didn't care about these things at all, so she couldn't help sighing helplessly, and explained: "In short, in the past week, hundreds of people have disappeared in a row in the safe zone, and the most important thing is that some of them Half of them are awakened people. Their common feature is that they never came back after leaving the city, and even if there were any companions, they all disappeared together in the end, so no one knows where they ended up."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Kong Zhe couldn't help touching his chin.

In these apocalyptic times, it's not uncommon for people to go missing.There are monsters everywhere outside, who knows if they were swallowed by monsters outside.Even man-made murders are impossible to investigate.Because of committing crimes in the wild, the corpses would soon be swallowed by monsters, and in the end often no evidence could be collected.

Therefore, from time to time, there will be missing person notices posted by relatives on the notices in the safe zone, but very few of them can be found.

This was originally a normal situation, but it is indeed a bit strange to talk about the disappearance of hundreds of people.

What's more, there are dozens of awakened people among these hundreds of people.

Compared with ordinary people, awakened people are much more capable of surviving in the wild.

Especially now, the end of the world has been going on for three months, and most of the awakened people have already experienced it. Compared with the beginning, the death rate of the awakened people going out to practice leveling has been greatly reduced.

But now, with so many people missing all at once, it must be because something happened outside Jincheng.

"Has there been any results of the investigation?"

Kong Zhe pondered for a while and asked.

He had heard of this type of incident in his previous life, but the final result was nothing more than a trap created by a certain force, or some hidden high-level monster in the wild.It's just that the number of missing people in those incidents in the previous life was not as high as this time.

"not yet."

Su Meiqin shook her head, and then said worriedly: "Because I have to manage the city, I didn't have time to go out. I asked Anna to go out for me a few days ago. It's just that she hasn't come back since she left."

"What? Even she..."

Now Kong Zhe was really surprised.

Anna is Su Meiqin's junior sister. Kong Zhe has personally experienced the strength of that little girl. It can be said that she is one of the best in the entire Jincheng. What's more, she has a magical weapon by her side. Even if she encounters any powerful monsters, she can't beat her Should be able to run away too...

Now that even she is missing, it is very unusual.

"You are clear about her strength, so I guess it is unlikely to be a monster."

Su Meiqin shook her head, and took out a crystal ball from the inventory.

Kong Zhe looked over, and saw that the ball was crystal clear, with a fluorescent surface, obviously a magic item.A movable pointer similar to a compass is inlaid inside.

"This is Anna's life ball. Since it is still running, it means that Anna is not dead. I made it temporarily before she set off. The pointer inside can sense her magic power and point to her direction. But... look……"

Su Meiqin said, flattened the crystal ball in the palm of her hand, and handed it to Kong Zhe.

Kong Zhe looked down and saw that the pointer in the crystal ball was swaying non-stop at this moment, completely irregular.

"This is……"

"This situation shows that it cannot sense a specific orientation."

Su Meiqin put away the crystal ball and continued to explain: "This is an advanced item with a strong induction effect. Since it can't even be detected, it can only be said that Anna is trapped in an environment that is completely isolated from magic power. Down."

"Oh?"

Kong Zhe thought for a while, then asked again: "What about the mail?"

Su Meiqin shook her head: "All the sent emails have been returned. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation since the beginning of the end of the world."

"so……"

Kong Zhe nodded to express his understanding.Then he looked around, walked to the edge of the city wall, and reached out to a small grass growing in the corner.

In the ring on the finger, the power of the stars was activated.

Following his movements, all the plants within a radius of more than ten meters began to sway gently.

Kong Zhe closed his eyes.

At this time, scenes began to flash quickly before his eyes. The feet of countless pedestrians coming and going, and the chaotic and overlapping voices made him frown slightly.
