The two returned to the mayor's office building and stayed there all night until the bus returned to town the next morning.
"What happened last night?" Shen Yi found traces of a fight on the street.
Lin Pei briefly explained why the doll attracted the alien species, and then said: "The risk is very high."
"If this is the case, then I would rather go hungry than face the alien species." Shen Xin shook his head.
"Starving is not the answer. Sooner or later, we have to deal with the alien species. The sooner we do it, the better." Xu Huo said.
"Do we really have to try every puzzle?" Shen Yi looked around.
"I think what he said makes sense." Gu Yu said: "The longer the time goes on, the weaker our physical strength will be, and the risk will be higher by then."
"Do you have any good ideas?" Wu Qiuyi asked.
"One person will answer the question, and the others will ambush nearby. If any alien species comes out, kill it." Gu Yu was the first to say.
"But it is inevitable to make louder noises during the fight," Shen Yi said: "What if we attract other alien species?"
"The alien species may be distributed in various areas of this town," Lin Pei thought after thinking: "The game says that the town only employs a few security guards. Let's count them as nine. It would be great if we could find their hiding places one by one."
"It's just that there is a rule in the game that does not allow three people to appear in any public place at the same time. It is difficult to distinguish between them, but if you want to lure the alien species out and then follow them to find the ground cage, it will be difficult to use if there are not enough people."
"In addition, what to use to seal the entrance and exit is also a problem."
Shen Yi twisted his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible to be strong enough to block alien species, but also to be silent?"
"Why don't we start searching the whole town side by side today?" Wu Qiuyi said: "The two of us take turns getting out of the car and searching."
"How many days will it take to search for such a big town?" Gu Yu objected: "If we can't find it in the end, won't we waste time in vain? According to my method, we should first lure the alien species out and kill them in a place where it is not easy to make noise. , I think the woods outside the town are quite nice."
"Your method won't work." Lin Pei said: "You can avoid making more noise, but the alien species cannot be controlled. Passing through the town is likely to attract other alien species. If there is more than one alien species that appeared in the east gate, , no matter how many of us we have, it will be useless.”
Guyu was silent, and after a few seconds he said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"First of all, we need to find something that can seal the cage." Xu Huo said at this time, "There may be some leftover metal used in the town to build walls. Maybe all the infrastructure in the town also uses this kind of metal. For metal, leave two people to drive, and the others will go look for it separately."
As he spoke, he took out the picture book and crayons he brought from the mayor's office and roughly drew a layout of the town.
"Seven people, go in seven directions respectively."
"Any store, gas station, mayor's office building, clinic, street, these are all public places, but if the public places the game refers to can overlap, it means that all of us can enter different stores at the same time."
"Every place and every shop in the town has traces of people. If the neighborhood is considered a public place, so many people are not enough. I prefer that the streets are also divided into areas, but there are no obvious landmarks."
"The best way to avoid these risks is for us to act in different time periods."
"Limit the time, limit the places of activity, and avoid three people appearing in public places at the same time."
Wu Qiuyi looked at the scattered houses he drew scattered throughout the town and said: "You can calculate it according to the bus travel time."
"Residences are not considered public areas, so this method is feasible." Lin Pei said: "Whether it is possible or not, just search it first and then talk about it."
Several people set the time to go and get off the bus, as well as the time limit for walking around in public areas.
"The bus needs to be refueled every day, and at least two people must stay on the bus." Wu Qiuyi looked at Nian Hongan and Wang Chaoqing, feeling uneasy whether they were asked to get off or stay on the bus.
"Nian Hong'an stayed in the car." Xu Huo's eyes scanned their faces.
Nian Hongan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Chaoqing said with a smile: "Brother, how about I stay in the car? You see, my characteristics are useless at all. What if I cause you trouble?"
"You will be the first to die if you get into trouble." Xu Huo said calmly: "For the sake of your own life, work hard."
Fifteen minutes later, Wang Chaoqing was the first to get out of the car with a sad face.
Then came Wu Qiuyi, Guyu, followed closely by brother and sister Shen Yi, and finally Lin Pei and Xu Huo.
Most of the houses in the town are single small buildings, and a few houses are side by side, so the activity time in each house is twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, starting from the first person who gets off the car,
Each time the two of them have five minutes to enter the public area, search for a residence and then a shop.
After Xu Huo searched the first small building, he waited for fifteen minutes before entering the next one.
After looking for three or four places to stay in a row, his feelings became increasingly strange.
Although there are traces of people living in these places, probably because they were in a hurry to move, most of the clothes, beds and other daily necessities in the houses have been retained, but all the houses have one thing in common, that is, the living atmosphere is not strong.
A simple kitchen and a simple bathroom. Apart from the basic necessities of daily life, there are almost no other items such as bookshelves and utility rooms, and there are no traces of children.
Every room is extremely clean.
He didn't understand the reason for this, but there was obviously no usable place in the home that was clearly visible at a glance. He was about to go to the next place when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small building outside the window with a reflective spot on the top. If he looked carefully, he saw that it was a clock.
There is a reflective crystal on the second hand, which is the same as the clock in the mayor's office building.
His thoughts moved slightly and he went directly to that building.
Crossing the street, he pushed open the heavy door and walked in. First he saw clocks all over the wall, but these clocks were broken and the hands stopped at different positions.
There is also a photo in the middle of the wall, which shows an old man and a tightly wrapped little girl. The old man holds the child with half-closed eyes with a serious expression. His eyes are not looking in the direction of the photo, but to the side.
Everyone seems to be out of sorts.
The old man in the photo is the old man in the photo he saw in the clock shop yesterday.
Stepping on the thick carpet, Xu Huo walked up to the second floor without making any sound, and pushed open the first room. This should be Master Nisei's bedroom. Similar things had been moved away, except for the stickers on the wall.
Some photos and children's graffiti drawings.
Different from the photos downstairs, the protagonists in these photos are smiling brightly. In addition to Nisei and the little girl, there is also a young couple. The man looks very similar to Nisei.
"Death certificate: It has been confirmed by the stellar authoritative Five-Star Medical Research Group that Logan Nisei and Jasmine Ye died in a car accident. This is hereby certified."
