Chapter 715 Nighttime Changes
"Here's the thing, a group of my companions went missing in this area..."
Su Chen briefly explained the situation.
Have you noticed anything unusual in the area?
The survivors looked at each other in bewilderment.
The older man pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"Young man, you should know that this is just an ordinary county town."
"Resources are scarce, and there aren't even many zombies or monsters."
"We can't even guarantee the livelihood of a few of us, how could we possibly have outsiders?"
Su Chen understood that what the other party said was true.
He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
It seems I need to continue to the next county town to continue the search.
Just then, a young man in his early twenties, as if remembering something, quickly spoke up.
"Uncle Long, I suddenly remembered that I found a few cars on the outskirts of the city the day before yesterday!"
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"Take me there, and all these things are yours!"
"okay!"
The young man responded excitedly and led the way.
Su Chen followed behind them and soon saw the two cars the young man had mentioned.
These two cars were parked on the outskirts of the county town. Unlike other scrapped cars, although they were old, it was obvious that they were regularly maintained.
Su Chen stepped forward and, after a careful inspection, was certain that the two vehicles must have been driven by Zhao Jun's men.
But the car is here, where is the person?
Su Chen questioned the young men again and finally confirmed that they had no idea that any outside survivors had arrived in the county in the past few days.
He kept his word and gave the group of people compressed biscuits and beer!
"Thank you so much, young man!"
Holding the compressed biscuits, Uncle Long couldn't stop smiling.
"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now?"
"Alright, you can go now."
Su Chen waved his hand.
Uncle Long and the others immediately took their things and left.
"Uncle Long, this kid can bring out good stuff like compressed biscuits and beer, who knows what other treasures he might have."
"He's all alone, with only a cat. Why don't we make a move?"
"Yeah, if we kill him, all the stuff will be ours, right?"
The other companions asked in hushed tones.
"What do you know?"
Uncle Long glared at them, then lowered his voice.
"The fact that he can wander around the apocalypse alone means that his level of evolution must be quite high!"
"Not to mention there's that big cat next to him!"
"Fighting him is suicide!"
Uncle Long was older and more experienced, and he could tell at a glance that Su Chen was extraordinary.
Putting everything else aside, the glint in his eyes alone is enough to inspire awe!
Although Uncle Long and the others were speaking in low voices, Su Chen still managed to hear them.
You guys know what's good for you!
Su Chen smiled faintly, showing no intention of leaving.
Now that Zhao Jun's men's car has been found, it proves that Zhao Jun's men must have gone missing here.
The problem is, this county is quite large, so where should I begin my investigation?
Just as he was pondering, a sudden inspiration struck him.
I could easily observe Uncle Long and the others from the shadows!
With so many people missing, it's impossible for Uncle Long and his companions to remain unharmed forever.
They'll probably be targeted by the mastermind sooner or later!
If I just keep an eye on Uncle Long, I should be able to find some clues!
Without further hesitation, Su Chen followed after Uncle Long and the others before they had gone far.
Uncle Long and his companions were completely unaware that a tail had appeared behind them.
They searched the city for a while longer before arriving at a private house.
This is where Uncle Long and his group are temporarily staying.
"Uncle Long, quickly bring out those compressed biscuits, let us have a taste!"
"Yeah, I've completely forgotten what cookies taste like!"
As soon as they got back to the room, everyone couldn't help but urge them on.
Uncle Long chuckled and carefully opened a package of the compressed biscuits that Su Chen had given him.
Everyone picked up a piece, put it in their mouths, and immediately showed a satisfied expression.
"Ah, these cookies... are so delicious!"
"Who says otherwise? It tastes much better than rat meat!"
After everyone had eaten, Uncle Long opened a can of beer and took turns taking a sip!
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the sky began to darken.
In order not to attract the attention of the monsters, Uncle Long and the others did not light a fire for illumination, but instead chose to go to sleep.
Su Chen hid in a building a few hundred meters away, observing Uncle Long and the others through binoculars.
Judging from their actions, they should have nothing to do with the disappearance of Zhao Jun's men.
Su Chen took out a folding bed from his storage space and lay down on it.
"Mengqi, keep an eye on that area for me. If anything seems amiss, wake me up immediately."
"Meow meow meow!"
Su Chen patted Meng Qi's head, then turned over and went to sleep.
……
I don't know how long I slept.
While sleeping, Su Chen suddenly felt a heat on his face.
He opened his eyes and realized that Mengqi was licking him.
Mengqi suddenly woke herself up by licking herself; something must have happened.
Su Chen quickly sat up and looked out the window.
Suddenly, several beams of light appeared at Uncle Long's and his companions' dwelling in the pitch-black night!
Su Chen could still clearly hear the screams, shouts, and cries for help coming from the other side!
Without hesitation, he told Mengqi to stay put.
He then crept over under the cover of darkness.
After getting close to the houses, Su Chen cautiously poked his head out.
When he saw what was inside, he was taken aback!
The group of people, including Uncle Long, whom they had met during the day, were now all pinned to the ground.
Their hands and feet were bound by special steel cables, making it impossible for them to move.
Besides Uncle Long and his group, there were about a dozen uninvited guests in the room!
These people are physically robust and have a fierce temperament. You can tell they are powerful at a glance, at least E-level combat strength!
"Boss, we've checked the whole place, there are no other survivors!"
A burly man said respectfully.
"Since there's no one here, let's leave!"
The burly man at the head of the group said calmly.
"Yes!"
The other burly men lifted Uncle Long and the others up and walked outside.
"Brothers, we're not strong enough to be of much use to you. Why don't you..."
Uncle Long wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could finish speaking, he was slapped hard across the face several times.
"If you dare to utter another word, I'll rip your tongue out!"
The burly man in the lead said coldly.
Uncle Long was startled. Although he was scared, he could only keep his mouth shut.
The group of burly men led Uncle Long and the others, moving swiftly through the night.
They stopped every now and then to observe what was happening behind them!
Fortunately, Su Chen had a strong sense of counter-surveillance, and his strength far surpassed that of these big men, so he stayed behind them without being discovered.
And so, Su Chen followed the other party all the way to the outskirts of the city.
