Chapter 533 Volcanic Ash
Two hours later, Junsha left the scene with several police officers, and the two bodies in the car were taken to the Union Building.
Alei and Guangzhi's conditions have improved. They tried their best to calm down and now at least they can move normally.
"Otherwise, you guys should go back to Honglian Island first, and let Yinchuan and I handle this."
Lu Yi looked at them worriedly, but A Lei was determined and refused to leave no matter what.
"Brother, I'm sorry to have made you worry. This is the first time for both of us to encounter such a large scene, but it is also a rare opportunity to gain experience, so let us stay and participate!"
Hearing this, Yinchuan came close to A Lei and said to Lu Yi with a smile: "I agree! Didn't we get here this way in the beginning? A Lei and Guang Zhi will definitely be fine!"
Seeing that Yinchuan also had the same attitude, Lu Yi didn't know what to say and nodded in agreement.
He knew that during the time he was in the Galar region, Yinchuan and the other two had completed a lot of commissions together, and he must have recognized the abilities of Lei and Guangzhi.
"Then let's split up into two groups and plan a search route to see if there are any villages or residents nearby. You take them south, and I'll go west. Then we'll talk to the police and ask them to send some people to the east and north."
"Okay." Yinchuan nodded, "But are you sure you want to go alone? This is not a simple visit, the screening involved is too wide! Otherwise, let Alei go with you, so that you can take care of each other if anything happens!"
"No need." Lu Yi declined Yinchuan's kindness.
“The area to the south that you are in charge of is a desert area with very low visibility and a very harsh environment. If you are not careful, you will get lost. You should have more manpower.
The west side I am responsible for is far from the desert, and most of the area is wide dirt roads. At that time, there will be Tropical Dragons assisting in reconnaissance at high altitudes, and Lucario, Electric Spider, and Aledo also have various special talents, so reconnaissance will be much more convenient than you."
After listening to Lu Yi's explanation, Yinchuan felt that it made sense and didn't say anything more.
So the four of them took action separately.
Lu Yi was relatively familiar with the surroundings. If he compared it with the Emerald version of the game map, the location of the two bodies was probably on a dirt road halfway up one of the peaks in the mountains north of the desert.
These mountains are connected to the desert in the south, and are mostly forests and mountains in the northeast. Only in the west, where Lu Yi is responsible for reconnaissance, is there some human presence.
Going along this dirt road, the surrounding infrastructure can only be described as "backward". To the west of the desert is Akiha Town, which is basically the poorest town in the Hoenn region, and most of the villagers make a living from agriculture.
Between Qiuye Town and the desert, there is a vast natural jungle. It is very close to Chimney Mountain and volcanic ash often floats over, making the vegetation here extremely lush.
Although the terrain and routes in the real world are far from comparable to the scene connections in the game, fortunately, Lu Yi has a tropical dragon by his side, so a road of dozens of kilometers is not difficult to check.
The reason he chose this route was because the black car was most likely driven up the mountain from this dirt road.
Perhaps the deceased wanted to go up the mountain to investigate, or perhaps they planned to bypass the desert. In any case, the residents on both sides of the road might have some impression of the car.
……
"Eh? A black car that passed by recently? I didn't notice it..."
The peasant lady, dressed simply, looked at Lu Yi in confusion, not knowing what he was asking. This was the third household that the Tropical Dragon had found after flying along the dirt road for more than 20 minutes. There was no one in the first two households.
In order to dispel the other party's concerns, Lu Yi provided the elder sister with a lot of materials to prove his identity.
"Sister, are you usually alone at home? Is there anyone else at home who can provide clues?"
"There's no one else. My husband works in Qiuye Town and doesn't come back many times a year. My child studies at the Pokémon School in Kanaz City and usually lives on campus."
As the elder sister was talking, a wobbly spotted goat came out of the house, holding a bamboo basket and staggering into the yard. It seemed that it wanted to put the bamboo basket against the wall, but after its efforts, the bamboo basket finally lay on the ground and rolled several meters away.
This Pokémon is very common in the area, but it is not a good partner for humans at work. The reason is that the wobbly steps are very unstable, and it is difficult for them to even walk in a straight line! If they are allowed to walk continuously for a long time, they will become very poor, not to mention expecting them to do physical labor!
Lu Yi took a closer look at the bamboo basket as it rolled down. The inside of the bamboo basket was covered with a thick black plastic bag, so it must have an important purpose.
"Sister, what is Huang Huang Ban doing? Is that bamboo basket used to collect volcanic ash?"
Hearing this, the eldest sister was a little surprised and said: "Huh? You actually know about volcanic ash?"
She had never expected that Lu Yi, who looked like someone from a big city by his dress, would actually know about rural life.
In fact, Lu Yi is very familiar with this dirt road (also known as Route 113)! He has collected a lot of volcanic ash in the game, because this dust can not only be used to make furniture, but also to make exquisite whistles with different functions!
The blue glass whistle has a clear sound that strikes the soul and can wake up the spirit in the "sleeping" state;
The sound of the yellow glass whistle is very healing, it can calm the mind and help Pokémon get rid of the "confused" state;
The red glass whistle can keep the elves awake and no longer be affected by the "fascinated" state;
The sound of the black glass whistle is similar to the roar of a dragon, which can increase the vigilance of wild Pokémon around it and make those powerful Pokémon think that someone is coming to take over their territory, and eventually move closer to the source of the sound;
The white glass whistle is just the opposite. The sound it simulates is childish and is more likely to attract weak Pokémon to look for playmates, while powerful wild Pokémon don't want to pay any attention to it.
These whistles are very practical props, and there is no cost to obtain them. You just need to collect some volcanic ash. Lu Yi was deeply impressed!
At this moment, the elder sister walked to Huanghuangban, bent down and picked up the bamboo basket, and sighed: "We ordinary people, with no education and no skills, can only live at the foot of the Chimney Mountain and be grateful for the gift of nature.
Young man, don’t underestimate this bamboo basket. The livelihood of our family of three depends on it!
Although the bamboo basket is limited in size and your sister and I don't have much physical strength, no matter how much, as long as I carry it and go out for a walk every day, I can gain something!
There are many companies in Qiuye Town that specialize in purchasing volcanic ash, and the price they offer is not low! It’s enough for me to eat for a while!"
