Chapter 31 The Disappearance of the Night Patrol Team

After so long in the apocalypse, everyone has become accustomed to death. Even in the rescue station, people die every now and then. Only those who are close to them will be sad, while others mostly watch with cold eyes.

After all, no one knows how long they can live, so how can they have the time to care about others?

However, the people who died in the resettlement areas were usually ordinary people:

Due to physical reasons and certain underlying diseases, the long period of extreme cold may cause other complications and lead to sudden death.

Or it is normal for someone to collapse under great pressure and go out to commit suicide.

On the contrary, since the psychics' physical and mental conditions are transformed and strengthened when their powers are awakened, they will not die for no reason.

Therefore, when the team of psychics who were patrolling on duty in the resettlement community at night disappeared overnight, it instantly caused panic in the entire West District.

The accident happened in the community next to Cheng Jing and his family, called Jiaheyuan.

The night patrol team consists of 14 people in total, including 7 official superpower rescue team members and 7 hired superpower users, working in groups of two.

The incident happened at around 2 a.m., and the night patrol members reported that there was nothing unusual, but did not show up when they were due to take over at 8 a.m. the next day.

According to satellite cell phone location tracking, all of them went to the basement after sending the report.

You should know that all entrances to the basements in the community have been sealed and welded shut, and the only way to enter is from outside the community.

After the zoning control, all the communities designated as resettlement sites were re-encircled with spare iron nets, the zombies in the basements were cleared out by the psychics, and those that were left behind hid in the darkness due to weather conditions and were very well behaved.

The night patrol team is accompanied by official members and it is impossible for them to enter the basement casually.

However, the last signals from the satellite phones carried by the 14-member team appeared in the basement.

The situation was extremely serious. Zhou Li called Cheng Jing and his friends and invited them to the scene, and Jiang Nian also went with them.

Later, they found 14 crushed and damaged satellite phones next to a load-bearing pillar not far from the basement entrance.

There were large bloody drag marks on the ground, and the blood disappeared into the darkness deep in the basement.

For safety reasons, Zhou Li did not allow anyone to go deeper rashly.

The situation is unclear, so it is better to be cautious in a place that can make 14 people with special abilities disappear. Now that things have come to this, the chance of any survivors in the night patrol team is zero.

So, after surveying the perimeter of the basement, Zhou Li personally picked up the broken satellite phone in a box and left.

After coming out of the basement, everyone was confused as to why the team of 14 people went down there.

But what is even more terrifying is that none of the 14 psychics in the team escaped or sent out a message for help!

Everyone returned to the command center with solemn expressions. Zhou Li asked Cheng Jing to stay alone, and the others dispersed one by one.

Because he participated in many decision-making processes, Zhou Li had a not-so-obvious dependence and trust on Cheng Jing.

Huang Qian and others who left were speculating about various situations, only Jiang Nian remained silent.

No one except Cheng Jing knew that he had superpowers, and they were quite special ones, so even if he discovered something, he would not show it.

Although the basement was filled with a strong stench of decay, he still sensed an unusual aura of supernatural power.

The fluctuations of superpowers of each superpower user are different even between individuals with the same attributes. Such subtle differences are difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, and they require help from the natural talents that come with superpowers like his.

After separating from Huang Qian and the others and returning to their respective safe houses, Jiang Nian took out his phone and sent a message to Cheng Jing:

[Brother Jing, I know what’s going on]

Instead of discussing and guessing with Zhou Li, it would be better to let Brother Jing come back early and ask him.

After sending the message, I turned on the heater and took out some snacks to enjoy a meal.

About half an hour later, Cheng Jing came back and sat next to him.

Jiang Nian stuffed him a bite and asked:

"How are Zhou Li and the command room going to deal with this?"

"Strengthen the protection of Jiaheyuan, gather more people with special abilities to investigate together, and start to slowly check the community and the surrounding area, and then check all residents."

Cheng Jing was eating something, his voice was a little unclear, and after he finished, he asked him:

"what have you found?"

Jiang Nian knew that he was sensitive to fluctuations in his awakened supernatural powers because of his special powers:

For example, he and other people with superpowers can feel when someone uses superpowers, but Jiang Nian can know how many people are using superpowers, and can tell the number of people with superpowers through the residual fluctuations of the superpowers.

Even because it has been so long and the fluctuations of his supernatural powers have become weak and others cannot detect it, Jiang Nian can still do it.

Jiang Nian wiped his mouth and said slowly:

"Although there were 14 members of the superpower team who died, there was only one superpower scent in the basement. In other words, only one person used superpowers in the basement. This situation is most likely left by the murderer who killed the night patrol team."

"There are only two possibilities for this situation. Either all 14 psychics were killed in one blow and none of them had time to react, or they were already dead before we reached the basement. In either case, the murderer is not a simple person."

"One person killed 14 people without giving them any chance to ask for help. Even I can't do it."

Cheng Jing's face became even uglier. As one of the first people to awaken his superpowers, he had rare dual attributes and had sufficient practical experience and advanced quickly, so he thought he was doing pretty well.

But it is impossible to make 14 psychics with combat experience fall down without any resistance in one move.

Jiang Nian shook his index finger:

"Perhaps we should defeat them one by one. The night patrol team patrols in groups of two, right? We should deal with two first, and then use the cell phone to lure the other group over to harvest. After that, we should destroy the cell phone. It is impossible to recover the cell phone data under the current conditions."

He had heard of this kind of situation in his previous life. It was just a dirty and unpretentious way of fighting between groups of superpowers in the base.

As for the password lock on the mobile phone, if this guess is correct, we can just ask the murderer.

"Too……"

Cheng Jing understood, and then asked:

"Can you tell whether the murderer is a human or a zombie by the remaining supernatural powers?"

Jiang Nian shook his head:

"No, the properties of superpowers are very stable. After the user turns into a zombie, their superpowers will not be contaminated, so it is impossible to distinguish. At least in my previous life, I have never heard of people's superpowers mutating after turning into zombies."

Then he continued:

"But this time it was definitely man-made. The zombies at this stage have not yet reached the level of conscious logic to kill people. Even in the late apocalypse, there are very few zombies that can maintain human consciousness. If they appear, they are all at the level of zombie kings. Given our current conditions, if a zombie king really appears, there is no doubt that we will be wiped out."

"What do you think we should do?"

Cheng Jing asked, breathing a sigh of relief. Just now he and Zhou Li guessed that it was the work of zombies with special powers, which would be very terrifying. Now that Jiang Nian said it was impossible, he felt relieved, otherwise he would have sent Jiang Nian away from the West District overnight.
