Chapter 339 Searching for Chen Duo’s trace, and surprisingly found in Biyou Village!
Deep in the mine, darkness swallowed up all sounds.
The beam of Su Chen's flashlight flickered in front of him, illuminating a messy open space.
This used to be a lounge for the miners, but now only broken tables, chairs and scattered tools remain.
The air was filled with a rotten smell, mixed with a faint sweet fishy smell.
Su Chen's brows were twisted into a knot. He was very familiar with this sweet and fishy smell.
That was the smell of the poison in Chen Duo's body.
He squatted down and examined the ground carefully.
In the corner, he found a pile of ashes with some unburned pieces of paper in the ashes.
Su Chen carefully picked up the pieces of paper and put them together.
The handwriting on the paper is blurred, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a diary.
The lines of the diary reveal despair and pain.
Su Chen's heart tightened, he could feel Chen Duo's inner struggle.
"She stayed here, and..." Su Chen's voice was low, "She burned her diary here."
He stood up and looked around.
This abandoned mine, which once witnessed the life and death of countless miners, has now become Chen Duo's hiding place.
This place is filled with the atmosphere of death and despair, which is so similar to Chen Duo's inner world.
Su Chen took a deep breath and continued to move forward.
He must find Chen Duo before she completely loses control.
The passages in the mine are intricate and complex, like a huge spider web.
Su Chen groped in the darkness following the traces left by Chen Duo.
Suddenly, he stopped.
There was a slight sound ahead, like something crawling.
Su Chen held his breath, dimmed the beam of the flashlight, and slowly approached the source of the sound.
At the end of the beam, he saw a horrifying sight.
A mouse was lying on the ground, its body twitching continuously.
Its skin was ulcerated and oozing green pus.
Soon, the mouse stopped twitching and its body became stiff.
Su Chen's face turned pale.
This mouse was killed by Chen Duo's poison.
Moreover, judging from the condition of the mice, Chen Duo's poison is getting out of control.
Time is tight.
Su Chen quickened his pace and continued searching in the mine.
He must find Chen Duo as soon as possible to prevent this tragedy from happening.
On the other side of the city, the search team also found new clues.
In an abandoned factory area, the team members found some fresh food packaging.
"Chen Duo is still nearby." Xu Si looked at the plastic bag in his hand with a frown.
"Report, there is an abnormal death rate among wild animals in the factory area." A team member hurried over.
Liao Zhong's face was gloomy.
"Notify all team members to expand the search area and find Chen Duo."
Under the cover of night, the search team launched a dragnet search in the factory area.
The team members shuttled between the abandoned factories, searching every corner.
Suddenly, Xu Si found signs of human habitation in the basement of a factory.
"Here..." Xu Si looked around and saw some clothes and daily necessities scattered on the ground.
"Chen Duo once stayed here, but she has left."
In a corner of the basement, Xu Si found a notebook.
He opened the notebook, which contained Chen Duo's diary.
In her diary, Chen Duo wrote down the reasons why she left.
She didn't want to hurt anyone, she just wanted to find a place where there was no one and bear the pain alone.
"This silly girl..." Xu Si closed his notebook, feeling mixed emotions.
Su Chen walked out of the mine, and the night wind blew across his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness.
He looked up at the starry sky, his heart filled with anxiety.
Chen Duo, where are you?
He took out his cell phone and called Liao Zhong.
"Uncle Liao, I didn't find anything here, how about you?"
"We found some clues in the factory area. Chen Duo once stayed there, but has left." Liao Zhong's voice was low.
"She left a diary and said she didn't want to hurt anyone and she was going to go somewhere where there was no one."
Su Chen was silent for a moment.
"Uncle Liao, I have an idea."
"You said."
"Chen Duo's diary mentioned that she was looking for an alien who could help her control the poison."
"you mean…"
"We may be able to start from this aspect and find Chen Duo's whereabouts."
Liao Zhong was silent for a moment.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away."
After hanging up the phone, Su Chen looked up at the starry sky again.
The night is dark and the stars are shining.
He didn't know whether Chen Duo could also see the starry sky.
He just hopes that Chen Duo is safe and sound.
The search area was expanded to neighboring cities, and multiple teams took action simultaneously.
Su Chen came to a remote village alone.
He visited local residents, trying to find some clues about Chen Duo.
He met an old man under an old locust tree at the entrance of the village.
The old man sat under a tree, smoking a pipe with cloudy eyes.
Su Chen walked up to the old man, squatted down, took out a box of cigarettes and handed him one.
The old man raised his eyelids, glanced, waved his hand, and continued smoking his pipe.
Su Chen took the cigarette back, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath.
"Master, I want to ask you something."
"What's going on?"
The old man blew out a smoke ring and his voice was hoarse.
"Ever seen a, um, weird girl?"
Su Chen carefully chose his words.
"strangeness?"
The old man narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something.
"Yes, about this high."
Su Chen gestured with his hands.
"Wearing all black, looking, well, a little, a little abnormal."
The old man puffed on his pipe without saying a word.
Su Chen waited quietly, feeling a little anxious.
After a long time, the old man slowly spoke.
"There was one two days ago."
Su Chen cheered up.
"Where did she go?"
The old man raised his arm and pointed in a direction.
"Over there, the mountain behind the village."
Su Chen looked in the direction the old man pointed, and saw rolling hills in the distance.
"What is she doing there?"
"I don't know. He looked sneaky and was hiding from people."
The old man added.
"He doesn't look like a good person."
Su Chen frowned, thanked him, stood up and walked in the direction the old man pointed.
Walk out of the village and onto a winding mountain road.
The mountain road is rugged and there are dense woods on both sides.
The wind blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound.
Su Chen quickened his pace, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
Chen Duo, what on earth do you want to do?
He took out his cell phone and called Xu Si.
"Fourth brother, I have a clue here."
"Chen Duo may have gone to the back hill of a nearby village."
"Okay, send me the address and I'll notify the company immediately."
After hanging up the call, Su Chen put the phone back into his pocket and continued on his way.
The sky gradually darkened and a thin layer of mist filled the mountains and forests.
Su Chen turned on the flashlight and the beam of light shuttled through the darkness.
He didn't know Chen Duo's exact location, so he could only search along the mountain road.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the forest was eerily quiet.
Only Su Chen's footsteps echoed in the silent night.
Suddenly, Su Chen stopped.
There is a boundary marker ahead with three big words written on it.
"Biyou Village"!
