184: Chapter 184 The Corpse Has Disappeared
Thinking of this, the Brigade Commander's expression immediately became serious.
"Arrange for people to go in and search immediately. Remember! Keep in groups of five and do not separate, because once you lose your way, it's a very dangerous situation!"
"Yes!"
Instructor Hu nodded and went down to make arrangements immediately.
The people from the Beautiful Country on the side didn't mention the competition at all; they were also busy and flustered.
Because Tom and his group had also been out of contact for two full days.
...
The next day.
Since it was Qin Mo's turn for the last shift, he stood guard until dawn.
After waking the other two, Qin Mo went into the jungle again to catch a few wild chickens, then roasted them over the fire.
But strangely, this time, no matter how much they roasted the chickens on the ground, there was not a single sound from inside the cave.
Refusing to believe it, he shouted a few times at the cave entrance, but naturally, no one responded.
"Qin Mo, what's going on? Could this person have starved to death?"
Platoon Leader Ji, who was to the side, asked with confusion upon seeing this.
Qin Mo shook his head.
"Impossible! Humans can survive for three days without water and a week without food."
"Assuming there is no water source inside, even if he hasn't eaten or drunk anything, it's impossible for him to have died of thirst or hunger in just two days."
"How about... we go in and take a look?"
Ye, who was standing nearby, asked.
Qin Mo nodded upon hearing this.
"Going in to check is fine! There's only one person inside, and they pose no threat to the three of us. Besides, after two days without food or water, the person inside should be very weak."
"But just to be safe, let me cast a divination first!"
As he spoke, Qin Mo sat on the ground and closed his eyes.
After the last time, Platoon Leader Ji didn't bring up any materialist ideas again; after all, it was indeed useful...
A moment later, Qin Mo opened his eyes.
Seeing this, the two immediately gathered around.
"Qin Mo, how is it? Can we go in?"
Qin Mo frowned: "Logically, after starving for two days, that person inside should have no ability to resist."
"But why is it still a Minor Misfortune?"
"Minor Misfortune? Can we go in?"
Platoon Leader Ji asked with confusion.
"We can go in, but there's still danger."
Platoon Leader Ji frowned and said: "Forget it, today is already the last day, and the competition is about to end. As long as we can go in, we'll go in and take out the last person!"
Both of them nodded upon hearing this; although Minor Misfortune implies some danger, it's still possible to enter.
Subsequently, the three got everything ready, loaded their bullets, extinguished the fire, and cautiously ventured toward the cave.
The three were extremely vigilant along the way, lingered at the entrance for a long time, and finally walked in.
A gust of chilly air inside the cave washed over their bodies.
The three walked a circle inside the cave, but strangely, it was completely empty.
"Where is the person?"
Platoon Leader Ji frowned tightly and said.
Ye, who was on the side, said: "Could it be that he ran away in the middle of the night while we weren't paying attention?"
"Impossible!"
Qin Mo said decisively: "Last night, we took turns keeping watch until dawn, and no one came out of the cave in the meantime."
"Then how could he just disappear into thin air?"
Qin Mo frowned, looked around the cave, and then pointed to the bloodstains on the ground.
"I don't know if you noticed, but the bodies in the cave have disappeared."
The two were stunned upon hearing this.
"That's right! Logically, there should be three bodies! But where are the bodies?"
A chill rushed straight to the three's heads; this was truly too bizarre. It would be one thing if the person disappeared, but even the bodies had vanished.
"Wait, that's not right!"
Just then, Qin Mo suddenly spoke.
"The divination clearly showed a Minor Misfortune, but now that the people are gone, how could it still be a Minor Misfortune?"
"This..."
Ye asked with confusion upon hearing this: "Could it be that you calculated it wrong?"
Qin Mo shook his head.
"My divination will not be wrong, but I cannot explain where they went or how they could disappear into thin air."
"Damn, Streamer, did you encounter a ghost?"
"To the one above, where are there any ghosts in this world? Has science failed you?"
"To the one above, if it's not a ghost, then tell me, where did these people go? Even if the person ran away, what about the bodies? I watched all night last night, and no one came out of this cave."
"Then I want to ask you, where are the people? Where are the bodies?"
"Exactly, I think these foreigners have done too many bad things, and their God couldn't stand it anymore and came down to take them away."
"Sorry! I am an expert in this field from Southeast University. I don't believe in any ghost or god theories, nor do I believe in fortune-telling. I suspect this Streamer is just bluffing."
"Oh? An expert? Hello, expert. Then may I ask where the bodies and the people went? Explain it."
"This... the bodies must have been destroyed with hydrofluoric acid!"
"Hydrofluoric acid? Expert above, is your brain filled with feces?"
"First point, hydrofluoric acid cannot destroy bodies quickly, and it would produce a large amount of irritating odor. Do you see any sign of an odor here, Streamer?"
"And damn it, where would they get hydrofluoric acid? Also, did the bodies get up and apply the hydrofluoric acid on themselves? And what about the only living person?"
"Did he apply it on himself too? How is this person so awesome? Does he have no pain nerves?"
"This... this..."
"I don't think you're an expert at all; just a clown who likes to show off in front of people!"
"Not bad, buddy, you're the real expert!"
"I just want to know, where did the bodies and the living person inside go? Could they really have encountered a ghost?"
"I'm starting to worry about the Streamer now. After all, the divination was a Minor Misfortune! Now that the people aren't even there, where is the misfortune coming from? Invisible enemies are the most terrifying!"
"Wait... why is this making me feel cold all over? This isn't a horror movie livestream, is it..."
"To the one above, the reason you feel cold all over, could it be that you peed your pants?"
"Damn? It really is! Going to change pants!"
"Awesome!"
"There's a hole here!"
Just as Qin Mo was lost in thought, Platoon Leader Ji suddenly shouted.
Qin Mo and the other person quickly walked over upon hearing this.
They discovered that at the deepest part of the cave, there was indeed a bottomless hole in the ground. The entrance was extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass through at a time.
Inside, there were naturally formed steps, and below was pitch black; no one knew where it led.
Qin Mo examined the hole for a moment, then sighed: "No wonder the people are gone; they probably crawled inside."
"Yeah!"
Platoon Leader Ji also nodded helplessly.
I really didn't expect there to be such a small hole here; if you didn't observe carefully, you really wouldn't have noticed it...
Qin Mo looked at the hole with an expressionless face.
"I don't know where this hole leads. The Minor Misfortune probably refers to this place, but I don't know why he would take the bodies down there."
