Ren Jiao's team has been resting at the beach for a few days, and everyone is in a high-energy state.

Ning Zhe rejected Ren Jiao's proposal to let him rest. After preparations, accompanied by Ren Jiao, he led thirty fully armed soldiers and began to search to the north.

The sun was shining brightly, the waves were noisy, and apart from some crabs, shellfish and waterbirds, no other creatures could be seen on the beach. It was hard to imagine what dangers there might be under this picture-scroll-like scenery.

The disappearance of more than thirty people happened not long ago, but the inexplicable weirdness of this place still makes people wary.

At noon, the temperature rises, the crabs on the beach have already disappeared, and even the sea breeze carries a touch of heat.

Washed by the waves, there is no trace left on this beach.

Perhaps it was the unknown fear of the sea, or perhaps the legend of sea monsters made people uneasy. During the march, Ning Zhe kept a distance from the sea and stood under the shade of a tree and asked Ren Jiao: "

How far have we come?"

Ren Jiao glanced at her watch: "We were marching on foot at a speed of about three kilometers per hour. We set off at seven o'clock and walked for five hours. We were about fifteen kilometers away from the camp. That day we were searching for the missing soldiers.

By that time, we had roughly reached this distance.”

Ning Zhe looked around and found that there were no suspicious signs around him, and there was nothing visible on the beach. He turned around and walked into the woods.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding soldiers all opened their firearm safety guards and followed him in defensive formation.

Ren Jiao alertly followed Ning Zhe with her gun raised, scanning the trees in front of her. When she saw Ning Zhe checking the surrounding trees and standing silently in front of a tree, she asked in a deep voice: "

Is there something wrong here?"

"It's really wrong. There are no traces of wild beasts here. Some cats will use this rough bark to sharpen their claws. Animals such as bears and wild boars will also use tree trunks to rub their bodies to relieve itching.

Use resin to shield against mosquitoes.”

Ning Zhe checked the traces on the ground and stepped back: "But there are no traces of wild beasts in the area we are in, so the missing soldiers can basically rule out the possibility of wild beast attacks."

Ren Jiao echoed: "We have lived in Jinqinhuan for so long, and we have a certain understanding of the beasts that exist in this area. The radiation level in Jinqinhuan is very low, and there are no monsters. It's just that the beasts are relatively large.

, even if it can pose a threat to our soldiers, it is impossible to take down three fully armed squads in a row without making a sound."

"Did the missing team really get attacked by creatures in the water?"

Ning Zhe stepped on the soft beach and looked at the waves that kept coming up. It was difficult to make a judgment for a while. After all, he had never seen the ocean before today and had no understanding of this field at all.

"I don't have any clues. I can't find the cause of the disappearance. That's why I gave up the search at that time." Ren Jiao stood next to Ning Zhe and said helplessly: "This is our furthest search distance. If we continue to move forward, the team will

There is no way to guarantee that we will return to the camp before sunset, and the risk is too great to spend the night in such a place with unknown dangers."

…

Everyone searched all morning but found no useful clues.

As the sun set, smoke curled up in the temporary camp on the beach. Hu Yihan handed a grilled crab to Ning Zhe: "Try it."

"Forget it, this thing looks too weird." Ning Zhe looked at the grilled black crab in Hu Yihan's hand, and finally picked up a grilled fish: "Is there any news from the transportation team?"

"I got a call in the afternoon. They will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, and the workers going to the beach for fishing have also been organized." Hu Yihan opened the crab in his hand and cleaned the crab gills inside unskillfully: "

Our previous plan was to let Gao Jun be responsible for the fishing work, but Gao Jun’s whereabouts are now unknown, so we can only let Gang Dan take over the job, but we don’t know if he has the ability.”

"Even if Gang Dan is not qualified for this job, we have no way to turn back. If we don't have experience, then we can slowly explore by ourselves." Ning Zhe spat out a fish bone and said with some worry: "We are facing the biggest problem now.

It’s not just the fishing difficulties. The disappearance of Gao Jun and others also makes me feel uneasy.

According to the military government's plan, the coastline will serve as our long-term supply base, but we know nothing about this place. Once we start comprehensive work here, if another incident of missing persons occurs, it will inevitably trigger a full-scale panic.

It is quite detrimental to our work.

You also know that in the legend of the Federation, Jinqinhuan itself is a mysterious area. In the past two years, although the education level of the refugees has improved, they have only been exposed to simple words and basic mathematics.

Knowledge, they cannot understand some strange natural phenomena.

If the refugees are made to think that there are strange and chaotic things along the coastline, it will definitely affect our plans and production progress. Jinqinhuan is a people-oriented area. If we cannot ensure the safety of the people, there is no reason to force them to work.

, this will put the development of the coastline into an endless cycle."

"Since we can't find a solution in the short term, I suggest that we use the simplest and crudest method to mobilize troops! Deploy bases on the coastline. In order to avoid causing panic, we can use the excuse that the military is involved in fishing work. Once we encounter problems,

We can directly send troops to solve it."

Hu Yihan bit the crab claws in his hand and explained: "I know this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but at least it can temporarily ensure the steady progress of the fishing work. After we take advantage of the personnel to occupy the coastline, it will be more convenient to find the missing persons.

whereabouts."

"For now, this is all we can do. You can arrange the affairs of the army." Ning Zhe nodded helplessly: "What I'm worried about now is still the group of missing soldiers. There has been no news for three days in a row. There is a high probability that these people are

The situation is much worse. Although Gao Jun is a wanted criminal of the high-ranking officials, he still has the high-ranking blood flowing in his bones. If one day the high-ranking officials find out the whereabouts of Gao Jun and learn that he is missing in Jinqinhuan, then

I'm afraid it will cause disaster."

"This matter is not only your worry, but also mine." Hu Yihan said solemnly: "Should we nip it in the bud and contact another group of people from the high family to reduce the pressure from the high family?"

Ning Zhe threw the fish bone in his hand into the fire: "Gao Jun has helped us a lot. If we are not sure about his life or death, we should find someone first."
