One person, Tang Clan, the thorn of being out of the crowd

Chapter 40 The Red Rope
"Here, do you want to eat?"

Liu Sanxie took out two apples from nowhere, gnawed them and handed one to Liao Zhong.

The apple was red, with water droplets on the surface, and looked particularly appetizing, but Liao Zhong still didn't dare to reach out and pick it up.

He touched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "Bought at the market? Uh... I just ate it, you can keep it for yourself."

He still remembers how Xiaowu evaluated Liu Sanxie when he reported to him.

"Tsk, tsk, it's best not to take anything this man has touched. He might have mixed something into it."

At that time, Liao Zhong didn't feel much about it, but by hunting down the Gu Master, he experienced Xiao Wu's feelings firsthand.

The Gu master tried so hard to escape, even losing one of his arms, but Liu Sanxie still left something on him.

Tsk, tsk, thinking like this, even Liao Zhong felt panicked for him.

Liu Sanxie raised his eyebrows and stared at Liao Zhong with suspicion. He felt inexplicably that his reputation seemed to be victimized again, but there was no evidence.

"Ahem, well, since you have a tracking method, let's stop being idle and finish things early and get off work early. Everyone has been working hard recently. After this time, we will take a long vacation! Lao Liao's words are here, and they are assigned to be used!"

The first sentence was said to Liu Sanxie, but the second sentence incited everyone's enthusiasm for work.

Boom!
Throwing the core into the trash can, Liu Sanxie followed the others, sniffing the familiar smell lingering in the air, and a smile spread across his lips.

This time... let's see where you go!

……

The sun was setting in the west, dyeing the clouds red and hanging leisurely on the horizon, forming various shapes. However, no one in the convoy appreciated the beautiful scenery, and everyone was driving in a hurry.

Normally, it was already time to get off work, but Director Zhao had already issued a death order, and the incident was so bad that no one in the company could rest.

Even the driver is working shifts as the driver and co-pilot, not to mention Liao Zhong who needs to grasp the overall situation.

This man hadn't slept for two days, and his eyes were bloodshot. At a glance, he looked like an ugly rabbit.

"No, don't hold on, just let me drive." He patted the shoulder of his brother in the driver's seat and expressed concern.

The brother who was driving was no better than him, with dark circles under his eyes as thick as a national treasure.

"I'm not in the way, I'm young and resistant."

Liao Zhong didn't know what to say. He sunk his body into the back seat, his whole body tense with fatigue.

He glanced at Liu Sanxie, who was silent and closed his eyes next to him, and said in a deep voice: "The road from the countryside to the city is full of twists and turns. This grandson is still able to run despite being so seriously injured!"

Liu Sanxie didn't respond immediately. He sniffed carefully for a while and then said: "We're almost there, the smell is getting stronger..."

Upon hearing this, Liao Zhong suddenly became energetic and hurriedly opened the voice channel, and the sound of a broken gong sounded directly.

"Everyone is awake! We'll be there soon! Get ready to work! TNND! We must not let him escape this time!"

5 minutes later……

squeak!
A series of brake sounds sounded, and the convoy stopped next to an unfinished building. Liao Zhong got out of the car first and ordered the place to be surrounded.

Everyone cheered up one by one and moved forward from the surroundings to the center in an orderly manner.

It was also an advantage due to the large number of people. In a short time, Nadutong turned the place upside down, and even the homeless man lying in the corner was picked up and interrogated.

"Report! No Gu Master was found, but... we probably found the place where he just settled. Judging from the situation, he didn't leave for long." Liao Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and led people to quickly walk to the place where the Gu Master settled.

A burned out fire, leaving only scattered bandages, mixed with a little bit of blood, looked shocking.

“This man was seriously injured, and he didn’t even think about recuperating, so he just bandaged it hastily.

What is it that is so important that it costs so many lives and refuses to stop even if it becomes disabled? "

Liao Zhong was still sighing when he saw Liu Sanxie squatting next to the pile of ashes and reaching out to pull something.

"Have you found anything?"

I saw Liu Sanxie slipping out half of the dusty red rope from the ashes, holding it in front of his eyes and looking at it.

"Liao Tou, why do you think this thing looks so familiar to me? I didn't notice it when I first started fighting him, but now I just brought it out..."

After hearing this, Liao Zhong took over and went through all the clues he had collected in his mind. He felt a vague sense of familiarity, but he couldn't put it into words.

While he was thinking hard, Liu Sanxie came to him and said pointedly: "That photo..."

Ok? !

Liao Zhong's eyes suddenly widened and he said anxiously: "You said it was the one hanging from the hand and neck of that shameless man!"

Hey ~ satisfied!Children can be taught.

Liu Sanxie nodded happily. He could never find a way to make these stubborn donkeys change their minds.

Okay, now, the owner of this red rope definitely has a close relationship with the zombies. If this can't bring you back, then you are not stubborn, but stupid!
But at the same time, a new question emerged from the bottom of his heart.

He originally thought that following the Taoist priest was a useless effort, but he didn't expect that he would actually get an unexpected reward.

Which force does this new Gu Master represent?Obviously the goal is the same as the company, they are all looking for zombie men?But... what is the connection between the two?

And...what did the dead ghost Gu master say at the beginning?
"Someone is stumbling upon us, deliberately leading us there..."

He didn't pay much attention to this sentence at the time, but now it seems that it was a signal intentionally left by the zombie man, or... was there a new force that was obstructing it?
If so, who are they?What is the purpose?
The information is mixed, all fragments, and there is no complete information. Liu Sanxie lacks a thread that can string them all together.

"Who's investigating the zombie line now?"

"There are not many people assigned to that line. There are only four or five people in total. You probably know Xiao Wu. I sent him to help a few days ago."

Seeing that Liu Sanxie wanted to call and ask about the situation, Liao Zhong stopped him.

"You want to ask Xiao Wu? Come on, it's useless to ask him. This bastard was injured just after going to work. His arm was broken and he is lying in the hospital. Hey, it's strange to say that you two go in and out of the hospital on the same foot."

Uh……

What else could Liu Sanxie say? He shrugged wordlessly and said, "Keep chasing him. The effect of my medicine will last for another day or so. The Gu Master shouldn't have gone very far. At least catch this guy first."

This made sense, and everyone did not hesitate, packed up their things and drove directly on the road.

The weather was not good. As a strong wind blew, the sky where stars could be seen just now was now covered with clouds.

Liu Sanxie looked up at the bad weather, feeling inexplicably heavy.

He had a hunch...the truth of the matter would soon surface.But...can the plan really go as smoothly as expected?
