The entire train disappeared, and all the people on board lost contact. The two hunting teams that were sent out also disappeared. Mo Qingxue did not hide this matter and made it public, which caused an uproar.

This has caused some people to start being afraid of taking the train.

Some people chose to refund their tickets, some chose to travel by other means, and some chose not to go to another city and just stay where they were.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer clues, and Mo Qingxue was always worried about this matter.

So many days have passed, and the train has not reappeared, and no one has found the missing people or bodies, not even the wreckage.

Mo Qingxue sent people to search the nearby area, and even sent people to dive to the farther seashore to check, but they still couldn't find the train.

At this time, the captain of the hunting team who went to the north to clear the train line and recapture the large oil field contacted Mo Qingxue: "Base commander, we plan to have a decisive battle with the zombies near the oil field in three days. Do you want to come?"

Mo Qingxue thought about it and realized that apart from the missing train, most of the things she had to report on were routine work. She could transfer part of the work to Gu Zisu to take over, which was not a big problem. Things on the front line were more important.

She said, "I'll come over and contact you then."

The captain said happily: "Okay, base commander, we'll wait for you at the front line."

Mo Qingxue kept his word and immediately mobilized troops to go there.

With so many large ships shuttling back and forth on the sea, although they have collected some oil at the port, they still need to have their own oil fields and mining capabilities in the future, otherwise the oil harvested previously will run out one day.

Ever since the weather turned extremely hot, everyone at the Anping base has collectively replaced a batch of vehicles with new energy electric vehicles.

After all, the sun is very strong now, and their fully automatic photovoltaic panels can convert a large amount of collected light energy into electrical energy.

After all, one tank less of gas means one tank less, so you can save a lot of gas after changing your car.

Because the Anping base has opened car charging services, a large number of survivors active in the Jiangzhou capital have also switched to various electric vehicles.

After all, buying oil requires contribution points, so it is better to just change the car and work together for sustainable development.

The next night, Mo Qingxue led his men to Qing City.

Before the apocalypse, the population of this northern city basically lived near the oil fields, so the density of zombies was very high.

In the early stage, the hunting team spent a lot of time to open up the entire railway line to the north, and the time spent killing zombies here was relatively short.

Mo Qingxue read the report and said, "The number of zombies you killed in the early stage is not too small. Have you used instruments to count how many zombies there are near the oil field?"

The hunting captain reported a number and said, "Base commander, we have calculated it repeatedly and it is the same number."

Mo Qingxue tapped her fingers on the table, thinking.

No, the total number of zombies that have been killed and the current number of zombies is wrong.

Shi Weiming had given her the data from the most recent census before the end of the world. Although the data might not be 100% accurate and there would be certain fluctuations, such a large deviation was not normal.

Mo Qingxue asked: "The zombies you killed and the zombies in the city now only account for a small half of the city's population before the apocalypse. Where did the other half go? Have you counted the number of survivors in the city?"

Speaking of this issue, the hunting team leader's face turned ugly. She said in a low voice: "We looked carefully when we came here, but we didn't find any human survivors' base."

Hearing this answer, Mo Qingxue frowned slightly: "Are you sure?"

The hunting team leader nodded affirmatively: "I'm sure."

She is a native of Qing City and took the initiative to apply to be in the first batch to retake Qing City, not only to earn contribution points and reputation points, but also to save her fellow villagers in her hometown.

The oil company employees live in houses allocated by the government. The walls are relatively thin and the residents live very closely together. Many of the houses are dormitories for employees.

It is difficult for people to survive in a situation where 90% of the population is zombies. At this stage, zombies can already break through metal doors. Even if you want to hide in the house all the time, it is useless. Some zombies have even evolved to the point where ordinary bullets cannot break through their skin.

No survivors were found in the staff housing, and the captain of the hunting team was mentally prepared.

But what she never expected was that there was not a single living person left in her hometown village, not even a zombie.

She said: "My hometown is a village in Qing City. I took some people back there. I wanted to see if there were any survivors in the village and persuade them to join our base."

Mo Qingxue nodded and said, "What did you see when you went there?"

The leader of the hunting team said: "The village is empty. There are no people or zombies."

Mo Qingxue proposed a possibility: "Could it be that the human survivors killed the zombies and hid somewhere else?"

The leader of the hunting team shook his head and said, "No, my parents and I all went south to find work and make a living, but my grandmother refused to leave and has always lived in the village. My grandmother loves to stockpile things. No matter what season it is, there is always food stored in the cellar."

Mo Qingxue nodded to show her understanding. Many old ladies who had come through difficult times had this habit. "Are those things still there?"

If it is gone, it means it has been taken away by the survivors.

Thinking of what she found in the cellar, the leader of the hunting team felt a little depressed. She said, "That's the problem. Everything in the cellar is still there. I went to my grandma's room and checked. The passbook and bank card she hid in the wall are still there. I gave her a gold bracelet, which she treasured the most. That gold bracelet is still there."

If her grandmother was still alive and had escaped from the village, she would have taken the food with her.

Furthermore, no zombies were found in the village. If there were other survivors who escaped, they would have taken away precious food and supplies.

But she checked several cellars in the village and found that the food in the cellars was still there, which was very unusual.

Even if you have to hide in the deep mountains and forests, you have to take rice and food with you, otherwise what will you eat?

Mo Qingxue also found it strange. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's go. I'll go with you to the village to take a look."

The hunting team leader said, "Okay."

Although she already felt that her grandmother was in great danger, she still held on to great hope, just in case.

I heard that the commander of our base is a super master, the person with the highest level of superpowers known to date. Perhaps the commander of the base will make different discoveries.

Mo Qingxue followed people to this ordinary small village in the Northeast and first went to the home of the captain of the hunting team.

There was a layer of dust inside the house, and a faint stench could be smelled.

The hunting captain said a little embarrassedly: "I threw away the rotten cabbages in the cellar after I came back. Maybe they were left here for too long, so the smell didn't dissipate quickly."

The cabbages could be preserved when it was extremely cold, but they could not be preserved when the weather got warmer and they all rotted in the cellar.

Mo Qingxue shook her head and said, “No, it’s not like a cabbage problem.”
