Chapter 90: Continuing the Search
very little path. This made him furious."Are the police this quick now Could they have found me Impossible!""I was very careful all the way. Yesterday I used illusions to get into the hotel. The polic...Three people put on protective suits for the corpse, then removed their diving suits. The leader took out his phone and began to report.
The remaining four people gathered together. Wang Lin took the lead and asked, "Meng Ge, how's your strength"
Zhang Meng rubbed his arms and cursed angrily, "This damn thing is a complete mess. It took the three of us to barely take it down."
"If this goddamn thing wakes up and uses its powers, I estimate that the three of us will be screwed this time!"
Another person who hadn't gone into the water stared in disbelief with wide eyes.
"So powerful Just becoming a carrier of the primordial Gu, and your strength is already so outrageous!"
"Damn, suddenly I realize cultivating is the only way to survive in this world! Going back to seriously cultivate."
Of the four present, Zhang Meng was the oldest, but his strength was only average. This time it seemed to have really hit him hard.
As Wang Lin was comforting Zhang Meng, he heard someone reporting to their superiors speak from behind.
"The reservoir mission is complete, and now we need to find another monster."
When everyone heard this, they all stood up. Wang Lin looked at him and reminded, "The next monster is a Awakener itself. After its transformation, who knows how strong it will become If you encounter it, be extremely careful!"
The man's expression grew serious, and he nodded slowly. "Thank you!"
"Since you don't have a car, transporting the body would be inconvenient. Let us escort it for you"
"Well, no problem, thanks for your hard work."
"That's right!"
The other three turned back to the man and said in unison, "Goodbye!"
After saying his piece, he hoisted the body onto the car and drove away quickly, without hesitation.
Looking at the car driving away, Wang Lin and Zhang Meng exchanged glances. "Should we ask them to take us back"
"No way! Damn it, we have to walk back ourselves!"
Zhang Meng was stunned when he heard Wang Lin's words, then slapped his head fiercely. "Damn it! What a disloyal jerk!"
"Let's go Talking won't change anything anymore."
Wang Lin took the lead, and Zhang Meng also stopped cursing. He followed closely behind. Fortunately, they didn't leave the reservoir for long before they came across a taxi. Otherwise, Zhang Meng's resentment towards the three people just now would have been even deeper.
The two arrived at Zhang Meng's parking spot, switched to his car, and he turned his head to look at Wang Lin, "Where are we going next"
Wang Lin lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Let's go straight to People's Hospital!"
"Where are you going Didn't we already check that"
"Because we checked, the other original G-host carrier is more likely to return there."
What does it mean
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, you should know about the dark under the light effect, right"
"Well, I know that!"
Wang Lin looked at Zhang Meng with some suspicion, feeling that his brain was still 90% new. Otherwise, why would he ask about everything
By the time the two arrived at the hospital, it was almost noon. They parked their car and first found a restaurant to have a big meal, then they started searching northward along the river.
On the way, I met many police officers and people from the association. When I saw the third group of association personnel, Wang Lin decisively turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Zhang Meng didn't ask any more questions. He followed the river, constantly sensing his surroundings. He was sure that the Association wouldn't send fewer than a few people with perceptive abilities this time. Being able to encounter them one after another proved that the area ahead had been thoroughly investigated.
By the afternoon, Zhang Meng and his companions had already reached the southern suburbs of Zhongzhou City, but they still hadn't found anything.
Wang Lin now regretted having Zhou Bureau prioritize the waterway search. There were too many repetitive areas, wasting manpower. Now, they hadn't found anything, and time had been wasted completely.
He was now out of ideas, completely unable to think where another original gu larva might be hiding. Without a search target, he sighed, his own brain still turning too slow.
His thoughts were always led by that carrier, which made him lose his confidence. He sat on the ground, looking utterly dejected.
"That...Wang Lin, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible."
Wang Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Meng in surprise, "Tell me the details."
"That's right, if I were the carrier, I would use a non-species fish as bait to lure you in and fix your thoughts on me, always believing I was in the river."
But I know the river is dangerous. Why would I be here I could have gone somewhere else. I'm just using the river to slow you down.
"If you were a carrier, and had to hide when being pursued, where would you choose to hide"
"I don't know, but I will definitely choose a place you wouldn't expect."
"Didn't expect that, did you"
Wang Lin pinched his chin and lowered his head in deep thought, racking his brains, but he still couldn't come up with any ideas.
"Well, let's go back first! With so many people in Zhongzhou City, he probably wouldn't want to leave the city center."
"Huh No! Why would I think he wouldn't want to leave the city That's what we didn't consider!"
Although the suburbs have a smaller population, the surveillance coverage is not as high. It's only in the suburbs that one can truly be like a dragon returning to the sea.
"Come on! Let's search for them in the villages outside the city!"
Listening to Wang Lin's analysis, Zhang Meng also felt that this possibility was the greatest. He responded and then set off again with Wang Lin.
Over the course of an afternoon, they surveyed four villages and encountered several teams of police officers and association personnel who came to provide support.
It seems I’m not the only one who thought of this. We need to speed things up. It's 7 pm now, and there are only seven hours left until the next 24-hour period.
Upon hearing Wang Lin's words, Zhang Meng instantly accelerated and sped toward the next destination.
He was somewhat relieved that he had been driving along the river when searching this time, otherwise it would have been impossible to search so many villages in such a short period of time.
Two people constantly shuttled between villages, and Zhang Meng didn't let go of the wilderness along the way. He always kept his senses on high alert.
If the carrier were hiding in the village, they would definitely not escape his perception. But if they were hiding in the wilderness, there would be no way to find them.
Two hours later, they met another team of association members. After talking, they found that they had already checked all the villages that Wang Lin hadn't checked.
They and Wang Lin each combined their search areas, and found that the two teams had just finished checking all the villages in the southern suburbs.
Both teams discussed again, each defining their search areas, and began to advance into the wilderness.
The most difficult moment had arrived. Zhang Meng's car couldn't drive into the wilderness; the ground was too low, and it broke down four times after just a short distance.
Unable to do anything about their predicament, the two could only give up on the vehicle and search for help on foot.
Another two hours passed, Wang Lin took out his phone to check the map and found that they had only searched one-tenth of the wilderness.
At this rate, we wouldn't finish searching even until dawn. But now, besides continuing the search, there's no other option.
Wang Lin sighed helplessly and found Zhang Meng staggering suddenly. He rushed forward to help him, preventing Zhang Meng from falling to the ground.
Zhang Meng's voice, somewhat weak, reached Wang Lin's ears.
"Damn, I'm so tired!"ld you please open the window I feel a bit stifled.""Great!"As the glass descended, a cold wind blew across Wang Lin's face, causing him to shiver. He took several deep breaths, trying hard to ease th...
