Listening to Lin Cheng's cold tone, Ayase Kawakana felt a chill in her heart. She didn't dare to say anything and looked down at the floor again.
This time she looked very carefully. She squatted on the ground and looked at a small piece of floor for a long time. Finally she said "Hey" and pointed to the piece of floor near the door and said to Lin Cheng: "Here... it seems
Is it a footprint?"
"That's right, it's just a footprint."
Seeing that she finally found out, Lin Cheng put away his cold tone and nodded.
Seeing Lin Cheng nod, Ayase Kawauna frowned slightly and asked: "But... my parents and I have always lived here. It should be normal to have one or two footprints, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng nodded first, then shook his head and said: "It is indeed normal, but this footprint is not normal."
As she said that, she saw him squatting down, pointing to the footprints that were almost invisible to the naked eye and said to her: "I have searched this secret room carefully just now, and there is not a trace left by anyone. If I
If you guessed correctly, it should belong to your father, but compared with the other footprints he left in this secret room before, this footprint should be less than a month old. If you extrapolate based on the time you arrived at Sukhalin Island,
, this footprint should appear after you left here."
"ah?!"
Although she had no idea how Lin Cheng could see so many details from a single footprint, Ayase Kawauna was still extremely surprised, because if what Lin Cheng said was true, wouldn't it mean that her parents had been there since she left here?
Still alive?!
"Don't be so surprised. I told you before that the probability of your parents' survival is not low, and this footprint can only prove that they were alive in the period shortly after you left. As for what will happen now, we can't say for sure.
"
Seeing the look of surprise and surprise on Ayase Kawana's face, Lin Cheng, although he didn't want to, could not help but pour cold water on her. After so long, he had already understood a truth, when many things can be explained clearly
It's better to make it clear as soon as possible, otherwise there will be big problems when you face the results.
What he didn't expect was that Ayase Kawauna didn't show too much disappointment after hearing his words. She nodded slightly and said: "Thank you Lin Sang, I understand what you mean, but this
The news is already a huge surprise to me. I believe that my parents are still alive and we will meet again one day!"
"That's the best thing you can think of."
The optimism shown by Ayase Kawauna made Lin Cheng couldn't help but look at her with admiration. He originally thought that this woman would be shocked when she learned that her parents had survived the corpse wave but now their lives were unknown, but now she
Lin Cheng's performance made Lin Cheng realize that this woman's mentality was actually very good and he didn't need to worry about her at all.
"Have you noticed that this footprint is actually only half a footprint?"
Since Ayase Kawauna was in a normal state of mind, Lin Cheng didn't say anything else, but continued to ask her around the footprints at the door.
Hearing this, Ayase Kawauna nodded slightly and said: "Indeed, I just wanted to ask Lin Sang, since they later survived the corpse wave, why did they not stay here and leave half a footprint?
Then disappeared?"
"You should ask yourself this question, right?"
Seeing her look of asking for advice, Lin Cheng couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Based on your understanding of your parents, why do you think they would do this?"
"this……"
Only when Lin Cheng threw the question back to herself did Ayase Kawana realize how stupid her question was, she couldn't help but smile, and said very embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry Lin Sang, I just... I just...
…”
After a long time, he couldn't explain clearly. Lin Cheng could only wave his hands and said: "I understand what you mean, but I don't know your parents at all. If I want to deduce the logic of their behavior, I can only start from the mentality of ordinary people.
, but if you can try to calculate it from the perspective of a child, the result should be more accurate than mine."
"I understand Lin Sang."
Nodding solemnly, Ayase Kawauna put away her shy expression, frowned slightly and began to think carefully.
A moment later, while Lin Cheng was smoking a cigarette and continuing to search for possible clues left in the secret room, Ayase Kawauna suddenly shouted to him: "Lin Sang, I may know why my parents are not here anymore!"
"oh?"
Hearing his words, Lin Cheng and Bai Ling stopped what they were doing, looked up at her, and saw her hurried up to them and said excitedly: "I just remembered that as early as that tide of corpses,
Before showing up, my parents secretly discussed the possibility of leaving here more than once. In fact, although our family lives in Shinai City, our hometown is in Zahuang. Many relatives and friends, including grandparents, are there. My father
He has a deep relationship with his grandparents. He has been suffering almost every day since the end of the world. If it weren't for the fact that we knew that we couldn't leave Shinai City at all, he might have set off for Zahuang very early.
journey!”
"Zhahuang?"
Hearing this place name, Lin Cheng frowned slightly and felt that it sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he seemed to have heard of this place before when he and Daisy were learning Ying dialect.
Seeing Lin Cheng's puzzled look, Ayase Kawana quickly introduced him: "Zhahuang is the capital of Kaikai Road. It is surrounded by mountains and is a very beautiful place. Especially when it snows in winter, the snow scene of Zhahuang is world-famous.
, it has always been a very famous tourist attraction before the end of the world.”
"So that's it."
After hearing Ayase Kawauna's introduction, Lin Cheng finally understood a little bit about this Zahuang, and asked her: "You mean, the reason why your parents did not stay here anymore is probably because they went to Zahuang."
Shaken?"
"That's right."
Nodding, Ayase Kawauna said: "I have two guesses about where my parents will go. One guess is that they went to Suhalin City on the other side to look for me after surviving, but they didn't see me until we left there.
Passing them, this means that they did not look for me, so there is only one possibility left. After they safely sent me out of the completely occupied Shichini City, they also chose to leave!"
"Well……"
Listening to Ayase Kawauna's inference, Lin Cheng held his chin and thought seriously for a moment, then said: "Your guess is quite likely. I just carefully observed the half of the footprints at the door. Since the footprints are only half,
That means that after they survived the zombie wave, they originally planned to go back here to hide, but then they retracted their steps for some unknown reason, and then completely lost their trace..."
