Chapter 99 The Missing Person
When Zhu Jue woke up again, it was already the next morning.
The scene I saw last night was still lingering in my mind. I suppressed the discomfort in my mind. Zhu Jue frowned and looked at Wu Tong and others who were eating breakfast in his room.
"Why are you all in my room?"
He remembered that he must have locked the door.
"We bought you a midnight snack last night. When we came back, we sent you a message but no one replied. The door of the room was locked. Because we were worried that something would happen to you, the hotel asked for a room card. As a result, we saw you lying on the floor when we entered the door. If the medical machine on the hotel said you were fine, you should be on the bed of Takma Municipal Hospital...How do you feel now?"
Wu Tong and Li Qinglian knew about Zhu Jue’s situation. There was an accident during the blizzard before. Although neither of them followed him at that time, they saw Zhu Jue’s fatigue and ragged clothes after he came back.
This time, Zhu Jue suddenly fainted in the hotel room. On the premise of confirming that there was no disease, Wu Tong and Li Qinglian were afraid that he would suddenly "transform" in the middle of the night. The hospital would definitely not dare to send him off, so they could only prepare a mental protective instrument to watch it in turn.
But the mental protection instrument cannot be seen by Olivi and Chu Yun, otherwise it will arouse their suspicion. So in the end, only Wu Tong and Li Qinglian guarded Zhu Jue, and the other two came over while having breakfast.
"I'm fine, thank you for your hard work...whether is the thing in my hand?"
Zhu Jue, who had just woken up, got out of bed and was about to wash up. As soon as his feet were touched by the ground, he immediately felt something was wrong. He quickly raised his right hand but found that the fossil "flower" that should have been pinched in his hand disappeared.
"When I lifted you to bed, I didn't notice you holding something in your hand. Have you seen it?"
Wu Tong recalled the situation at that time. In his impression, he did not notice that Zhu Jue had something in his hand, so he could only turn around and ask the few people next to him.
Zhu Jue shook his head when he saw them, and was a little stunned for a moment. He patted his forehead and subconsciously looked back at the corner of the wall. The fossils originally placed in the corner had disappeared. This means that the scene he saw yesterday was not a dream, but something that had happened. However, only he could see that special scene.
Maybe it was crushed by a cleaning robot and cleaned it up?
With the surprised eyes of the people next to him, they stood up and walked staggeringly to the cleaning robot.
The mental confusion caused by yesterday's experience, coupled with the confusion when I just woke up, eventually caused Zhu Jue to squat in front of the cleaning robot like a child, drooping his eyes, pursing his lips unhappily, and poking the buttons on the outside of the robot one by one with a bit slow movement.
"Cleaning function starts...Cleaning function closes...Air purification function starts..."
The constant mechanical prompt sound made Zhu Jue a little irritated. He couldn't help but arched his waist and lowered his head, pressed his chin against his knees, and sat on the ground. The prehistoric scene began to appear in his mind again, which made him soon fall into deep thought.
"What's wrong with him?"
Li Qinglian looked at Zhu Jue, who was staring at a cleaning robot inexplicably, and said.
"It's not because of my coma last night that I had mental problems? I've learned some knowledge about this by myself while in the Special Operations Team, so I'll take a look."
It was the first time Olivi saw Zhu Jue in this state and was about to go over and ask, but as soon as he stood up, Chu Yun grabbed his wrist.
"What's the hurry? When have you ever seen him like this? I have to take a picture, it's enough to laugh at him for several months."
Chu Yun, who took out her cell phone, would not miss this opportunity. She was about to open the camera to start shooting, but when she aimed at the position, Zhu Jue's figure was next to the cleaning robot whose lid had been opened.
Only the sound of water in the bathroom was hinting at them that Zhu Jue is currently at.
......
"Is this the car you rented? It looks good."
Zhu Jue said as he looked at the roof of the car with a dark green sunshade cloth and the extra large off-road vehicle.
"Well, we have five people, ordinary off-road vehicles will be crowded, and we have to put a lot of items, so I rented the best car in their store."
"To be precise, it is the best off-road vehicle, because I found a white RV in that store, which even had a kitchen... But someone had booked it before. I heard that it was a rich man. He came here to find the magical creatures on the video. Even the RV was prepared in advance. I guess he would not give up until he found those magical creatures."
The deserts and Gobi Deserts outside Takma City are vast in size. If there is no exact location, it is not easy to find the magical creatures that have appeared in the video before. On the contrary, if you are not lucky, even if you wander around for a few weeks, you will end up with nothing.
So before leaving, Zhu Jue set a time for this search.
For two days, they only searched in the desert for two days, set off from today's noon and returned to Takma before tomorrow's night came.
This time is undoubtedly a bit compact, but for Zhu Jue, it is undoubtedly a stupid thing to not find two days and waste more time here. After all, they are not scientific expedition teams, and they are the rich man who booked a RV in advance and lived in the desert without finding the target. It is impossible for the affairs of the weird studio to be kept.
Fortunately, Zhu Jue and his group are lucky.
Just as he got in the car and was checking his mobile phone, Chu Yun said that he had obtained a clear roadmap through the Takma City government.
"Yesterday, while we were wandering around the Takma market, we unexpectedly met a woman who was looking for someone. Her husband left Takma City two days ago to work in another nearby city, but he still has no response."
Chu Yun found out the photos he took and handed them to Zhu Jue, and then said,
"There is a chat record of the missing man and his wife. It was about the evening before yesterday. Please pay attention to these words, 'The hill in front is shining behind', 'We seem to have seen the aurora', 'Mark wants to go over and take a look. We were originally a path, and now it's farther away', although there is no photo, I have reason to believe that they have seen something special, so I promised to find her husband, on the condition that she must provide us with information."
With a try-making attitude, Chu Yun contacted the Takma Municipal Government in the name of the Yecheng inspection team that she came with, and asked them if there were relatively remote paths in the traffic routes outside the city.
Sure enough, in addition to the highways that currently connect various cities in this area, there is also a deserted highway outside Takma City, which is a shortcut and there are no toll stations along the way. However, the road environment is a bit harsh, and only those who are in a hurry and greedy for small gains will choose to take this road.
"Are you ready? We're going to set out."
Olivi was sitting in the driving position. She was a person who had even obtained the federal combat armored driving license. Naturally, there was no problem with this kind of car. The route that Chu Yun obtained had been introduced into the on-board system. All she had to do was follow that route to find the two missing people.
"Takma City Public Security Department reminds all drivers and passengers that if it is not necessary, please do not deviate from the main road. The desert is dangerous. Please be cautious when traveling..."
