Although he was as short as a child, Otto was in awe of Einstein.
There was no special reason. Maybe it was because he felt that his genetic brother was really smart, although Otto did not know how smart Einstein was or how smart he was.
Otto wanted to see how Einstein was going to change the future, but Einstein just sat in his wheelchair and did not move for a long time.
However, Otto's strength was that he could keep calm.
Finally, after twenty minutes, Einstein raised his head and said, "I carefully observed the whole scene and the images and found a few clues."
Bernhard sighed softly and said, "Go on."
"The location I saw this time was in our underground shelter. The shelter is sixty meters underground and is protected by two meters of reinforced concrete. Above it is a metamorphic rock layer that is as thick as fifty-eight meters, and the soil layer is less than one meter. In other words, Gao Qi accurately found your location, forcibly broke through the protective rock layer, and finally killed you with a very crude short shotgun."
Bernhard had repeated the cause of his death many times, so this time he did not say much and did not interrupt Einstein.
Einstein smiled and said, "Then here is the problem. Gao Qi can break through the rock layer in a very short time, which means that his personal strength has reached an extremely high level. Whether it is magic or superpower, he can use any method to kill you, but why did he have to use a gun?"
Bernhard said in a deep voice, "Maybe he has a special interest in hunting guns."
"No, he must have known that you can see the scene of his death, so he chose a way to kill you without being able to confirm his type of power."
Gently tapping the armrest of the wheelchair twice, Einstein continued, "He wanted to hide the source of his power, which means that he used a new type of power."
Otto could not help but say, "Wait a minute, you just said that he broke through the rock layer of the underground shelter? How did he break through? "
"He burned through it. The scene of Gao Qi falling with magma was really visually shocking."
Otto thought for a while, then he said in shock, "Impossible … No, if this is destined to happen in the future, then how did he do it?"
Einstein shook his head and said, "There's no need to know how he did it. The main point is not how strong he is, nor is it the type of power he possesses. As someone who has transmigrated between two worlds and touched the realm of the gods to a certain extent, it's normal for Gao Qi to be strong. The main point is that he's not that strong yet."
Otto was still thinking, Bernhard said in a deep voice, "Go on."
Einstein said calmly, "He broke through the rock layer and entered the underground shelter, but I noticed that there were blades of grass in his hair. The temperature of the magma was very high, but the blades of grass were not burned by the high temperature, nor were they burned."
Otto couldn't help but say again, "You're talking nonsense. If he can't protect himself, won't he be burned to death?"
Bernhard didn't say anything, nor did he blame Otto. He only said thoughtfully, "Is that so? I didn't notice. "
Einstein continued, "His clothes were very old, his shoes were worn out, and his beard was very long. This shows that he did not have the time. Of course, it could also be that he did not have the mood to tidy up his appearance. The biggest possibility is that he has been wandering and has not entered any city. He has not had any contact with anyone. Our intelligence is mainly concentrated in the various cities, so it is normal that we have not been able to find him."
Bernhard nodded.
Einstein continued, "Then under what circumstances would there be leaves of grass or seeds in a person's hair?"
Otto said without hesitation, "Of course … when he is lying on the ground. What's the point?"
Einstein smiled and said, "If you observe carefully, you will find that when a person is lying on the ground, it is not easy to get grass in his hair because the grass is not so easy to break and stay on the head. But if a person is sleeping in a pile of grass, you will find that after waking up, there will definitely be leaves of grass in his hair."
Otto was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Bernhard sighed softly and said, "That makes sense."
"Then the point is, when he killed you 16 times, was he dressed the same every time? Did he change his clothes? "
Bernhard thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No, sometimes he looked cleaner, sometimes he was dirty, but his hair and beard were very long, and his clothes were very old. And he was wearing the same clothes every time. I am very sure of this."
Einstein gently clapped his hands, then he nodded and said, "That's right. He completely cut off all contact with the outside world and wandered alone in the wilderness. After confirming that he was invincible, he appeared to kill you. Now, we don't care how he found you, we only need to find him."
Bernhard said with a serious face, "Then how did you find where he was?"
"No one can be completely cut off from the world, unless he really went to another world. I saw the type of plant in his hair, so I can find his range."
Bernhard frowned and said, "I only saw him, but I did not see what was in his hair. That is impossible."
"I did not see it clearly either, but I have image memory. I stored the scene when he appeared in my mind, so I can use the image to study it carefully."
After saying that, Einstein said softly, "This time, when he killed you, it was June 16th, but there were two caltrops in his hair. They were very intact and belonged to the mature seeds. The caltrops' fruit ripened between August and September. In addition, I am sure that there were leaves of the grass family Setaria in his hair. Setaria is a plant … it is millet, a common crop in the dry lands of northern China. After the Cataclysm, it is a low-yield crop, but it has low requirements for irrigation."
Otto opened his mouth and said, "Crop … then, what is the meaning of this?"
Einstein continued, "The caltrops' fruit ripened between August and September, and the millet's ripened in autumn. Moreover, the millet leaves in Gao Qi's hair were very fragmented, which means that when he came into contact with the grass, the grass was in a completely dry state. So … the answer is that he slept in a haystack, but since the millet had not ripened yet when he slept in the haystack, it means that he slept in the haystack accumulated in previous years."
Otto glanced at Bernhard. Bernhard said, "But there are too many areas in northern China that grow millet."
Einstein smiled and said, "Not many. No one grows millet on a large scale now. The Desolate Man can do it, but there are very few Desolate Man with seeds. In other words, even if there are many Desolate Man, there are very few who can grow millet. Besides, since we can confirm that Gao Qi slept in the haystack, it must be the Desolate Man who piled up the harvested haystack. Well, Gao Qi went missing at the edge of the Taihang Mountains, and millet is a common crop in that area. So … we used the reconnaissance satellite to look for the haystack, focusing on the Taihang Mountains."
Otto said with a serious face, "Isn't the range too big?"
"Not really."
Einstein waved his hand and said, "It's spring now, and the haystack is the fuel of the Desolate Man. Although there are enough trees to burn now, the haystack is the most easily obtained fuel. Of course, it will be used up early. So there won't be many haystacks left for the next year."
After that, Einstein said with a calm face, "Now we need to find the farmland of the Desolate Man first, and then confirm the varieties of crops in the farmland. Then we need to distinguish the areas where the millet is planted. Then we need to find the haystack nearby. Once we find it, we need to focus on monitoring it. Believe me, once we find the haystack, we will also find Gao Qi's whereabouts. At least he won't be too far away."
Bernhard nodded and said, "If your deduction is correct, then the future has changed. I just need to go to the future and take a look now to confirm it. Now, I'll order the satellites to find all the grains and pile them up. After they find them, the future should be able to change."
After saying that, Bernhard looked at Otto and said in a deep voice, "I have decided not to give Gao Qi any chance this time. After we find him, we will use all means to kill him at all costs. Go and prepare. It's time for you to act."
