376: Abnormal magnetic field phenomena

“What exactly is… going on?”

Realizing her own backpack had also suddenly vanished, Song Qiuyun’s face immediately filled with terror.

If only Qingshan or Team member Mengmeng had just searched a soldier’s equipment, packed it, and then not put their backpack on, there would still be some possibility. If both of them were like that, then it would start to get a bit strange.

But the current situation was, not only had both of their backpacks disappeared, even her own backpack had suddenly vanished without a trace!

Song Qiuyun could immediately confirm that their three backpacks hadn't been left behind at the spawn point due to carelessness or sloppiness, but rather something had happened just now that caused all of their backpacks to disappear!

“Song Team, what should we do! Is this Crocodile Nest haunted?!”

Team member Mengmeng was extremely scared at this moment, her voice trembling as she spoke. In this area surrounded by crocodiles, she didn't dare to speak too loudly. Her heart was flustered and afraid, and her stress was exploding!

And Qingshan, who usually appeared the most composed, now had shaky legs and looked at Song Qiuyun with a helpless expression.

At this moment, the night was dark and windy.

Coupled with the constant eerie cries of small crocodiles from all around, and the flickering lights on the bridge not far away due to poor contact, it made the three of them feel even more uneasy.

“It’s highly unlikely for ghosts to appear in the restricted area, right!”

“Then where did our bags go? Am I having a nightmare?”

Qingshan and Team member Mengmeng were completely panicked at this moment, especially Team member Mengmeng, who couldn’t even believe this was reality!

Among the entire team, only Song Qiuyun was thinking calmly.

From the very beginning of entering this Crocodile Nest, she had felt that this investigation mission was very suspicious.

After all, as the three of them had walked along, all they had seen around this Crocodile Nest were truly just crocodiles.

The only somewhat special thing was that everyone heard the cries of newly hatched small crocodiles, but Song Qiuyun didn't pay it any mind.

And given the current situation, it was hard for Song Qiuyun not to connect the disappearance of the backpacks with the investigation mission sent by headquarters.

“If it’s not ghosts, then it must be man-made!”

Saying this, Song Qiuyun frowned and directly pulled out her Signal Decrypter from her chest rig.

“If someone was deliberately ambushing us here, we should have discovered them long ago, or they would have discovered us. But looking at the current situation, the other party seems to only want to hide in the dark and is unwilling to come out and meet us openly. They might have used some method to conceal themselves, perhaps optical camouflage, perhaps some kind of strange trick, or perhaps something else; however, no matter what method they used, it cannot escape my specially modified Decrypter.”

As Song Qiuyun spoke, she aimed the Decrypter towards the entrance and swept it.

Bo—!

A special sound wave immediately spread into the distance, and several pieces of information were displayed on Song Qiuyun’s Decrypter device.

[Operators Found: 0 Soldiers Found: 0 Organisms Found: Crocodile, Crocodile, Crocodile]

Although the Decrypter she was using looked identical to an ordinary Hacker Claw on the outside, it could even display scanned soldiers and organisms!

This ability was simply too powerful, especially in this world where everyone runs knives, it was completely overpowered in a restricted area.

However, upon seeing the information displayed on the panel, Song Qiuyun immediately frowned.

How could there only be crocodiles around her?

The doubt in her heart did not interrupt her actions. The next second, she quickly adjusted the scanning direction and swept behind her again.

However, immediately after, the display interface of the Signal Decrypter showed that there were not even crocodiles behind her!

“Song Team, it seems there’s really no one around here! We’ve definitely encountered a supernatural event!”

“Yeah, it can’t be these crocodiles, can it?”

Without needing Song Qiuyun to report, Team member Mengmeng and Qingshan simultaneously received the results of these two scans, which was also a special modification effect of the Decrypter.

However, the difficult situation they faced made them even more flustered.

However, at this moment, Song Qiuyun’s expression was calm, with a slight smile on her lips.

She glanced sideways at the water nearby, then turned her head back in just a second, looking directly at Qingshan and Team member Mengmeng.

“Originally, I suspected that there might be some special phenomenon here, like a magnetic field disruption, similar to the legendary Bermuda Triangle, where everything that enters it is swallowed, even planes and ships. Eventually, all items and humans who enter it disappear without a trace, and it’s highly likely that headquarters sent us to investigate this very matter…”

“That makes sense!”

Listening to Song Qiuyun’s analysis, Qingshan’s legs immediately stopped shaking, and his speech became articulate.

“That’s why they say you’re TOP1; you can remain so calm even when encountering something like this! The Bermuda Triangle! I’ve heard of it before, but the impression wasn’t that deep. As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered.”

“So, it means there’s an abnormal magnetic field nearby, which caused our backpacks to disappear? And if we stay here any longer, we ourselves might even disappear?”

Although Team member Mengmeng was no longer afraid at this moment, she still felt shocked.

She couldn’t even imagine something like this happening in her wildest dreams!

“Song Team… you can even think of something like this, you’re so smart.”

Team member Mengmeng looked up at Song Qiuyun, seeing her slightly furrowed brow and calm expression, as if this series of events wasn't happening to her, but she was merely an observer.

Song Qiuyun’s usual cold face now made Team member Mengmeng feel incredibly reliable.

However.

Immediately after, Song Qiuyun changed her previous statement, a rare smile appearing on her lips.

“However, just a moment ago, I completely overturned my previous idea.”

“What!?”
