Chapter 59 Relics
Chen Qinghe did not move.
In this way, Hu Mingyao knelt down in front of him without helping him.
Nowadays, it is no longer the peaceful and orderly world. Etiquette and morality have become worse than shit. If Hu Mingyao doesn't even express this gratitude, it proves that this person is just a bad old man who only knows how to suck blood and ask for it.
What is the dark area?
This is a dangerous place where you may die as long as you are not careful. Perhaps the channel connecting the alien space may not be fully established at present, but what if it has been established, or if there are other terrible existences?
There are too many variables in this, and even Chen Qinghe is not fully sure.
"Grandpa--"
Mingle picked up Hu Mingyao and looked at Chen Qinghe with pitiful eyes.
He is sensible and knows the reason why grandpa did this.
However, in addition to the pain of my grandpa, he suffers from the fact that he is too young. His small arms and calves can't do anything, which can only become a burden for anyone and increase the burden.
"You are waiting here..."
These eyes reminded him of the same poor Shuishan. Chen Qinghe sighed sadly and said, "If I don't come back within an hour, you don't have to wait."
Mingle, Hu Mingyao's expression changed.
Even the young A Le felt the hidden meaning in Chen Qinghe's words, and suddenly realized that the commercial square that caused them to lose their loved ones seemed to be far more dangerous than they imagined.
"Stranger brother, you should be careful."
Mingle bit his thin lips and said worriedly.
"Hmm."
Chen Qinghe nodded slightly. It could be seen that A Le was worried that there was no falsehood, and he thought that he was a sensible child. Then he stood up from the chair, and his back was elongated under the shadow of the candle, reflected in the narrow warehouse.
squeaky-
The door of the warehouse opened, and Chen Qinghe walked out.
Mingle waved goodbye to the crack in the door where he could faintly see Chen Qinghe's back.
Hu Mingyao put his hands together.
In the bottom of his heart, he prayed devoutly to the Bodhisattva for the younger brother Chen, who had known him for less than an hour. Before the end of the world, he had always been a devout believer, and his family worshipped the Bodhisattva all year round.
......
Ten minutes later.
The clouds recede, revealing a bright moon.
Wow - Suddenly, a shadow passed through a sushi restaurant on the pedestrian street outside Haifeng Commercial Square. He was very fast and went straight to the entrance of the underground parking lot not far away.
Chen Qinghe rushed through the security booth, and his perception explored the environment in all directions. In the face of the darkness, he did not slow down. He entered the downhill lane like a strong wind and headed for the second underground floor of the parking lot.
After a while, there was a faint light in the dark environment. This is a green safety exit indicator light. The underground second-floor parking lot is unusually quiet, and only the sneaking sound of Chen Qinghe echoes.
Zhe - Chen Qinghe stopped with his right foot and suddenly stopped.
His eyes are shining in the dark. There are large and small unnatural holes in the whole underground parking lot, ranging from a few meters in diameter to more than ten meters.
This is an unformed sinkhole!
Although it looks like an ordinary wall with a cracked hole, it completely erodes the magnetic field around the sea breeze square from an alien energy position, which will form a bottomless sinkhole channel like a bottomless hole.
"Look up--"
Chen Qinghe's eyes flashed and ran sideways towards the safety entrance.
He began to explore the 166.4 million square meters of Haifeng Commercial Square, from the underground to the ground, and then from the periphery to the inside, so as to roughly determine the number of sinkholes and the progress of formation.
......
Twenty minutes later.
Carrefour, computer brand store, brand clothing store, Chinese fast food restaurant, flower shop, home appliance city, cinema, famous watch store——
Chen Qinghe's figure shuttles through all corners of Haifeng Commercial Square.
After some exploration, he has a general idea of the number of sinkholes. The number of small sinkholes is more than 100, which is still a small part, and the number of large sinkholes is more!
At this time, Chen Qinghe stopped in front of a 'Hao Laiheng' steak shop on the pedestrian street of the square. He was holding a flashlight found in the supermarket. The light was illuminated by a floor tile in front of a cracked glass door. The dust here was very shallow, and there were many traces of artificial fights around.
The steak shop is covered with a transparent glass wall with dust. There are scratches left by knives on the wall, human handprints with different palm prints, and different types of shoe prints.
Judging from the depth of the imprint, it is not long, maybe two days or so.
Chen Qinghe silently wrote down these messages and almost explored the square. He did not find any traces of survivors. It was incredible for such a commercial square with a large amount of materials. After all, not everyone knew the existence of the dark area as much as he did.
There must be a survivor who mistakenly thought that this was an excellent shelter to sneak in, but the strange thing was that he did not find it. This kind of survivor seemed to evaporate.
creaked and pushed the deformed glass door in.
"Is there blood?"
Chen Qinghe frowned, and there was a strong smell of blood around him, not the smell of dust as he imagined. At this time, he found a trace of strangeness, which disturbed his heart.
Before he took a few steps, his feet stopped.
Broken hand?
Chen Qinghe's eyes condensed, and the flashlight shone. Unexpectedly, he turned over to the soft chair and found a small middle finger exposed. He moved away the soft chair and saw a broken hand with ulcerated skin and dry blood.
He squatted down, picked up his broken hand and looked at it carefully.
This hand is not big, but the nails are very long. Judging from the shape of the hand, it seems to be a woman's broken hand, but the wrist is cut off by a sharp weapon. The bone section is relatively neat, the blood splashing around the soft chair, and the messy footprints that can't distinguish the number of people are indirect evidence.
"It's not easy here..."
Chen Qinghe put down the woman's broken hand and became more and more interested in the struggle that the steak shop had ever had.
Continue to walk to the depths of the steak shop, just to the back kitchen area.
He did not make a detour to the second floor on the left hand side, because the tables and chairs near the stairs were neat, and there was no trace of being moved.
All the way...
Chen Qinghe found traces of fighting, large or small, heavy or light, and it was not traces of double fighting, but traces of fierce fighting left by at least five survivors.
After a while, Chen Qinghe came to the kitchen area.
The flashlight is fixed on this blood-stained iron pot——
There is dry black and brown blood around the iron pot, all around the kitchen stove. There are actually human bones with stinky meat residue on the chopping board, from ribs to finger bones, to arm bones and shoulder bones.
Chen Qinghe's face was pale and he didn't say a word.
The whole air is the smell of dead human flesh, which is mixed with the smell of human blood. Ordinary people smell a certain creepy, and they are so scared that they scream and turn around and run away.
Hu~
He exhaled turbid breath for a long time.
Under the exploration of perception, he had a general understanding of the back kitchen area, but Chen Qinghe's face was more pale, and he walked to the cold storage of frozen animal meat in the steak shop.
He walked on a piece of blood-dried floor tile.
The touch under his feet is like stepping on the moss that has lost moisture, and the occasional softness while walking makes him realize that it is a dirty-splinter in the human body sprinkled on the ground.
"Beast!!"
Chen Qinghe can imagine what happened here.
He pulled the handle of the cold storage, and there was a gust of cold wind coming. Although there was no power supply, the special fully enclosed design of the cold storage still kept it cold to the maximum extent.
The flashlight shines deep--
Sure enough, two headless corpses lying on the ground like abandoned garbage in the flashlight. What is shocking is that their chests are completely hollowed out. From this bone section, Chen Qinghe can judge that this is the same sharp weapon, the same person's work, and the lower body of the two corpses is still wearing trousers. They are women's denim and black suit trousers, and some of the exposed skin is purple and black.
"No hands..."
Chen Qinghe's eyes fell on the left hand of the female corpse, which was empty. Looking carefully at the pair of abandoned corpses, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
An idea flashed!
Is it...
"Lao Hu, once told me that her daughter wore a diamond necklace at the end of the world. I heard that this was A Le's father, who gave it to Hu Yue'an on the fifth wedding anniversary--" Chen Qinghe recalled that Lao Hu once described the daughter he mentioned.
Hu Yue'an is the name of Lao Hu's daughter!
The next moment, Chen Qinghe suddenly let out a low sigh.
"It's Hu Yue'an."
The neck of the female corpse illuminated by the flashlight reflected a faint crystal to Chen Qinghe's eyes.
Although the diamond was dusted by dry blood and did not have the dazzling diamond brilliance for a long time, it still could not hide the brilliance of the necklace. Chen Qinghe immediately concluded that it was Lao Hu who mentioned the diamond necklace.
"The other one is bright..."
"Ale's father."
Chen Qinghe from the edge of the female corpse, this tall skeleton confirms the identity of the male corpse.
It's all dead!
But it's not in the hands of monsters!
But man-made...
"Why did you kill them so cruelly?"
Chen Qinghe thought about this question, quickly walked to the female corpse, half squatted down, reached out and grabbed it, and took the diamond necklace off Hu Yue'an's neck.
Take the diamond necklace in your hand and watch it repeatedly.
However, Chen Qinghe quickly gave up this problem. No matter what the murderer's purpose was, he could be sure that the group had left, otherwise he would not avoid his previous exploration.
He is not a saint, and it is impossible for him to continue to help his grandfather and grandchildren for free.
"How should I tell A Le when I go back?"
Chen Qinghe put away the diamond necklace and put it in his pocket.
At the thought of the sensible boy, he can imagine the reaction of the grandfather and grandson after hearing such news from his parents, but since the deceased has passed away, it should not let the living suffer.
Especially in the hellish world, it is more difficult to find the murderer!
"Sometimes, a well-intentioned lie is necessary..."
Chen Qinghe's murmur sounded in the cold storage.
