Chapter 1141: Doubts on the Ground
âThis car⊠just arrived a few days agoâŠâ Ling Mo said.
The amount of dust was about the same, which meant this car hadnât been parked for long. Otherwise, the underside should be cleaner than the outside.
This was a bit different from Ling Moâs initial deduction⊠If this group of Survivors had really just appeared a few days ago, then the likelihood of them being local residents dropped sharplyâŠ
Ling Mo pondered as he quickly walked over, squatting down beside the car to examine it closely.
âAnd hereâŠâ Yuwen Xuan had basically crawled under the car, and now he made a new discovery.
âDamn fat Xiao BaiâŠâ Ling Mo couldnât help but complain about Xiao Baiâs size. It couldnât even lower its head, let alone crawl underâŠ
Following the direction of Yuwen Xuanâs finger, Ling Mo quickly spotted the suspicious area.
A small puddleâŠ
Such depressions often appeared on long-used roads, but seeing one here now made Ling Moâs ominous feeling deepen even further.
âHas it rained in the past few days?â Ling Mo asked.
Skinny Monkey immediately stepped forward to answer, âYes, I heard rain at midnight, but it wasnât heavy. As for whether it rained here, I canât say. But even if it did, with this blazing sun, the ground wouldâve dried up long ago.â
âThatâs right, the sun canât reach the center under the car, but even so, this puddle shouldnât be here.â Yuwen Xuan said, producing a bullet in his hand. He placed it at the edge of the puddle, and under his and Ling Moâs watchful eyes, the bullet slowly rolled toward Ling Mo.
After testing the other directions, it was the same.
In other wordsâŠ
âEven if it rained here, the water wouldnât flow into this puddleâŠâ Ling Mo frowned.
âThatâs just one aspect.â Yuwen Xuan ran his hand around, then continued, âWith this weather, even under the car itâs quite hot. If this puddle had accumulated here some time ago, it shouldâve evaporated by now.â
âSo, based on this, this puddle⊠really only appeared in the last few daysâŠâ Ling Mo muttered.
Yuwen Xuan nodded, âThatâs right!â
âThis isnât good newsâŠâ Mu Chen murmured.
Although they couldnât pinpoint the exact timeframe, the concept of âthe past few daysâ already meant a lot to themâŠ
âWhat do you think⊠besides us and Niepanâs Big Boss, how likely is it that other non-local Survivors know about this granary?â Ling Mo stood up and asked. ÉœáŒÎá»BĐđź
Everyone fell silentâŠ
Two seconds later, it was Xia Na who broke the silence: âSo⊠maybe Niepanâs people have been here?â
She used the word âbeen here,â and Black Silk keenly picked up on it.
Although Ling Mo hadnât told it about Xiao Baiâs actions, after Black Silk sniffed hard twice, it immediately showed a knowing look.
Clearly⊠there hadnât been any Niepan people nearby⊠and Xiao Bai mightâve run into ZombiesâŠ
âAm I right?â Black Silk asked in Ling Moâs mind.
âIf youâre going to use the psychic link to talk to me, then stop analyzing and narrating in my head!â Ling Mo snapped, then frowned and replied, âThatâs exactly what I canât figure out. Whether it was Niepanâs people or not, why are there still Zombies around here?â
âCouldnât beat them? That doesnât make sense⊠These people arenât locals. They drove here from somewhere else. No matter where they started⊠if they could swagger all the way here by car, how could they not deal with the Zombies here? Thatâs just not reasonable.â Ling Mo continued.
Black Silk and Xia Na exchanged a glance, then Black Silk crossed its arms maturely and said, âMaybe⊠by some fluke, there was an Advanced Zombie in the group? Itâs not impossible. Who knows if thereâs any genetically modified rice hidden in the granary?â
âWould there be?! Fine⊠even if there is⊠Zombies donât eat rice!â With Black Silkâs interruption, Ling Mo actually calmed down a bit. âNo, the Zombie situation should be fine⊠Xiao Bai already ran into them, and theyâre all just common zombies. That also rules out the possibility of mutation beasts nearby⊠If there were, these Zombies wouldâve been eaten cleanâŠâ
âSo the problem comes back againâŠâ Ling Mo looked at the car window, staring at the reflection inside, rubbing his brow as he thought, âThe people who sat in this car, where did they come from⊠and where are they nowâŠâ
After finding clues under the car, Ling Mo couldnât help but think⊠This must be the thorn stuck in his heart, right?
But thinking carefully, he fell silent againâŠ
No⊠not this⊠itâs something even more dangerousâŠ
Yet, he just couldnât rememberâŠ
âHooâŠâ
Ling Mo took a deep breath and finally calmed down.
When he turned around, he realized everyone was staring at him.
Yuwen Xuan had crawled out from under the car, pressing a water-soaked finger to his nose and sniffing hard, muttering, âSeems like itâs just ordinary rainwaterâŠâ
Ling Mo glanced over him, then looked at the others, giving a wry smile, âLooks like our luck isnât so great.â
âSo what, weâre already racing Niepan for time. Weâve taken the biggest one, so by any measure, weâve won.â Ye Kai chuckled.
âWe canât be sure itâs Niepan yetâŠâ Ling Mo organized his thoughts, then voiced his doubts. Of course, he âtouched upâ the part about Zombies a bit. Originally, it was Xiao Bai who did it, but he said it was the Tentacle.
At this moment, the super âTentacleâ was lurking outside the granary. Given its massive size, even though Ling Mo wanted it to search inside, he had to give up on the idea. After all, the granary couldnât be damaged easily-if it got crushed, all that food would be wasted.
After hearing all this, everyone looked at each other in shock and suspicion.
âWhat kind of people would ignore Zombies?â
âBut even if they ignore them, the Zombies wouldnât let them go, right?â
âYeah, even if theyâve already hidden in the granary, the Zombies would try every way to break in.â
âBut according to the captain, when he found the Zombies, they were all wandering in the wildâŠâ
âThatâs not right, thereâs something wrong hereâŠâ
Listening to the discussion, Ling Mo slowly turned to look at the quiet granary not far away.
âWeâll just have to go in and see for ourselvesâŠâ
