Chapter 28: Strange Analysis Results
The Qi family is ranked third among all the families in Wangchang City, and it can be said that apart from the top two families, the Qi family is the strongest.
Any member of the Qi family is a respected figure outside, not to mention Qi Shao himself.
For this exploration mission, Qi Shao didn't need to participate, but he used his power to replace one person and joined the exploration team directly.
In fact, this kind of mission is not only easy, but also lucrative. Most importantly, it is a B-level mission.
In the base city, missions are divided into five levels from S to D, with CD-level missions being more common and numerous. Only B-level or higher missions are rare and not available to everyone.
The other three members were happy because they not only could easily complete the mission, but also could establish a good relationship with Qi Shao. They might even be able to join the Qi family all at once, which was a good thing that many people couldn't even dream of.
Along the way, the three of them kept flattering Qi Shao, showing off their flattery skills, and even gave some good things to Qi Shao.
Qi Shao was very satisfied with their attitude. As a young master of the Qi family, this was how he should be treated when he went out.
The helicopter quickly arrived at the destroyed Gathering Place. Seeing the tragic situation here, everyone's faces changed slightly.
This was the first time they had executed this kind of mission. When had they ever seen such a situation?
Blood stains all over the ground, incomplete corpses, it was shocking. The wooden board with the numbers 160 written on it, which was erected at the gate of the Gathering Place, was lucky enough to be preserved and not destroyed.
"This is the Number 160 Gathering Place. I didn't expect it to become like this." The person who spoke had a very flat tone.
Living in the Apocalypse, who hasn't seen death? They just saw an entire Gathering Place full of people dead for the first time.
After the initial shock, they quickly calmed down.
"Qi Shao, our mission this time is to find key evidence to prove that this Gathering Place was destroyed by Mutant Beasts, not by other circumstances. Please wait on the helicopter, we will soon complete the mission and return to the base city."
Qi Shao waved his hand and said, "I came out this time to see the situation outside. It's too boring on the helicopter. You guys go do the mission, I'll walk around."
Seeing Qi Shao's attitude, the others were helpless, but they dared not persuade him. Who knew what kind of temperament Qi Shao had? If he was unhappy and killed them, there would be nowhere to reason.
A young master of a family killing an ordinary Transcendent, no one dared to do anything to him.
The base city has its own rules, but these rules are still just decorations for the strong.
So the three of them dispersed to the Gathering Place to search for evidence, while the driver stayed on the helicopter. On the one hand, he could give an early warning, and on the other hand, only he could operate the helicopter. If something happened to him, no one could go back.
Qi Shao walked into the Gathering Place and when he saw the dirty and messy ground and the wooden houses, his eyes revealed deep disdain.
"My father once said that Gathering Places are where lower-class people live. These lower-class people are not qualified to live, and their existence is a shame to us upper-class people."
At this moment, a signal flare shot into the sky, indicating that someone had discovered something.
Even Qi Shao had to go and see what was going on.
When the four of them gathered together, they looked at the person who had fired the signal flare.
"What did you find?" Qi Shao asked.
"Qi Shao, look here," someone pointed to the ground where there were a large number of mutilated bodies, which was quite horrifying.
"According to my deduction, there should have been dozens of people here originally. It's possible that there was infighting, and these people ended up killing each other. The problem is that when the Mutant Beasts surrounded them, instead of trying to break out, these people started killing each other. That's very strange."
Qi Shao wasn't someone who knew nothing. He looked carefully and found that the situation was similar to what the person said.
The only strange thing was that he noticed that there were many bullet holes on the limbs of these people. These couldn't have been caused by ordinary firearms. How could Gathering Place, such a small place, have such good weapons?
"No, look here. The places where these people died are all together, and there are also deaths on the other side. If the deduction is that they killed each other, there's something wrong because their direction is wrong!"
This person stood between the two waves of dead people, and the three sides weren't connected in a straight line.
"Here, there's a third party. It was this third party that killed both sides, but there's no bloodstain from this third party. They seem to have escaped from Gathering Place. There's only one possibility: they have a means of flight!"
These people were all good at tracking, so they could naturally detect the problem.
But this analysis result made everyone a little strange. If there really was a third party that appeared and killed everyone and then escaped, how did they escape? Did they also have a helicopter?
But besides the base city, who else would have a helicopter? That's not scientific.
Without a helicopter, it's almost impossible to escape from the Mutant Beasts' riot, even for a fourth-order Transcendent.
"Based on preliminary deductions, the culprit that caused the destruction of Gathering Place was indeed the Mutant Beasts' riot, but something else seems to have happened in between. Qi Shao, do we need to report this truthfully?" someone looked at Qi Shao.
They all knew that only Qi Shao had the power to make decisions here. They didn't have any.
"Interesting. A suspected helicopter flying vehicle, even if it's not, if the other party is a Transcendent who controls flight, it's still a sure win if we can get our hands on it." Qi Shao's mouth lifted, looking at the three people. "Search the surrounding area for me as quickly as possible. Maybe the other party is nearby. Helicopter fuel isn't easy to come by, and even Transcendents with flight abilities can't fly long distances."
The three nodded and immediately went to search in three directions.
A hint of excitement flashed in Qi Shao's eyes. He originally thought it was just a routine task, but he unexpectedly made a surprising discovery.
Is it a helicopter or a Transcendent with flight abilities?
Qi Shao returned to the helicopter alone and instructed the pilot to fly in the air to search.
Several hours later, Su Chen, who was dozing off, suddenly heard the system's alarm: "Warning, there's an intruder. Should we eliminate the intruder?"
Opening the radar interface and zooming in, Su Chen saw a person sneaking towards the direction of the base.
"Give him a warning. If he doesn't listen, give him a ride."
