Speaking of Lightning Dharmaraja, the primeval forest was a great way to get rid of his internet addiction. Without signal and internet, his phone was no different from a brick. Although he had saved some movies on his phone, after entering the forest, he was exhausted every day. At night, he would either be scared or fall asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. He had no time to watch movies. After all, it wasn't like they were short movies that could refresh him.
At first, when he walked in the forest, he would check if there was any signal, but after a long time, he was too lazy to look. Even if there was a road passing through the forest, there might not be a signal, let alone in the depths of the forest. Not looking would save him electricity.
Yesterday, he was busy with the slaughterhouse, so he didn't take out his phone. Last night, he ran around aimlessly. Today, he realized that he was getting closer and closer to the light.
"Famous, can you smell Megan's scent now?" he asked.
Famous shook its head. "I can't smell anything."
It was no wonder. After Megan's disappearance, it rained at least twice. If they had arrived at the slaughterhouse a day later, even Mike's scent would have been washed away.
"The slaughterhouse is just one of Peter Lee's workplaces, not their lair in the forest," he said. "I wanted to find their lair and stop them from deceiving the world. I wanted to at least record the location of their lair and report it to the police. But now the trail is broken. Does anyone have any opinions?"
Famous said, "That Fernando, wasn't he brought to the slaughterhouse from somewhere else? He should know something, right? "
Fernando was driven to the slaughterhouse by Peter Lee and the others. Inferring from this, Fernando must have found Peter Lee first and tricked him into getting into the car.
"I asked him, and he said that there were people in a nearby town who would pick up these homeless people. The people who picked them up were like a charity organization. They were dressed neatly and smiled, and then they were taken to a house near the forest, where they underwent some kind of test. Some people like him were personally received by Peter Lee, who praised them, then took them to the car and transported them to the slaughterhouse. The other people seemed to be the kind of … introverted, reserved, and unassertive people. They were taken to other places, but he didn't know the specific location," Zhang Zian explained.
From Fernando's description, even these homeless people who surrendered voluntarily had to go through screening. Those who were easy to control were taken to their lair and brainwashed, while people like Fernando, who were even despised by dogs, were sent to the slaughterhouse as cannon fodder.
However, it was reasonable to say that Megan wasn't someone without a mind of her own, so why had she been taken away? Was it because … she was a woman? That's true, there are almost no women among the vagrants … I only hope that her situation isn't too bad.
Fernando didn't know anything else. His mind was filled with ease and he hated work, so it was impossible for him to carefully observe his surroundings. Therefore, it was impossible to expect him to give any useful clues.
Vladimir said passionately, "What the f * ck! Why don't we go back to the slaughterhouse and catch them off guard? Then we can capture Peter Lee alive and solve everything! "
This was obviously impossible. They had a lot of people, and they had a lot of taser guns. They might even have more lethal weapons. Besides, Peter Lee might have already left the slaughterhouse. How could it be easy to catch him?
Old Time Tea said, "It's too risky to go back to the slaughterhouse, but we can follow that simple road. Maybe we can find some clues."
Zhang Zian nodded. "That's a good idea, but it's too time-consuming. We don't have a car, and there are no ordinary vehicles on that simple road. We don't know where it leads to, and we don't know how long it will take us to walk on foot."
The other elfins didn't have any better suggestions.
Zhang Zian looked at the light on the phone screen again and said his own thoughts. "I've been thinking, why did this elfin come all the way here from San Francisco? It wouldn't come here for no reason. As an elfin, it must have a wish that it wants to fulfill. "
His eyes fell on Old Time Tea. "Just like you, Grandpa Tea, maybe this elfin also can't stand what Peter Lee and the others are doing. It came to the forest with a similar goal as us — to stop Peter Lee and the others from bewitching people. Of course, this is just my guess. "
Although it was just a guess, there seemed to be no other reason to explain why this elfin ran into the primeval forest.
Famous understood what he meant and said, "So we have to go to the location of that elfin?"
"Well, there is definitely a certain amount of danger, but how can we catch a tiger cub if we don't go to the tiger's den?" Zhang Zian nodded. "And what happened last night made me think … sometimes it's not bad to fish in troubled waters. The more troubled the water, the better."
If it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the black bear last night, he wouldn't have been able to get away so easily. Although the black bear was actually coming for him, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe in the chaos. An enemy could also become a friend, and a friend … Zhang Zian had no friends in this forest.
Now there were at least three known forces in the forest — him, Peter Lee, and the new elfin. But if the black bear, deer, or other people and other animals were counted, the situation would become complicated and delicate.
It was still unknown who would win, and his plan was to make the water even more chaotic.
"For the rest of the road, everyone should be extra vigilant."
He carried a much lighter backpack on his back and looked up at the sky.
The sky was still cloudy after the rain, and there seemed to be no signs of rain continuing.
Famous was still running in front to explore the road, and the other elfins were on the left and right sides, expanding the search and alert range. Even Pi, whose palms no longer hurt, climbed to the top of the tree to look around.
Because he hadn't slept the night before, Zhang Zian was very sleepy. He forced himself to stay awake as he walked, looking at the position of the compass and the light from time to time.
He really wanted to catch up on sleep before the day ended, but that meant that he would have to delay the whole day. Whether it was Megan, who was trapped in the devil's den, or the remaining supplies, they were all urging him to hurry up. At worst, they could set up camp earlier tonight.
They walked like this for a day, and the sky was still dark. They happened to come across a small stream, and Zhang Zian decided not to go any further. He would use the stream to set up camp, have a good night's sleep, and continue early the next morning.
"Zian, there seems to be something wrong with the herd of deer. They seem to be restless, but I don't smell anything suspicious. Could it be that the black bear is following us again?"
Just as he finished setting up the tent and was about to cook, Famous ran over and reminded him worriedly.
"Oh?" Zhang Zian's sleepiness disappeared along with his yawn. "Take me to see it."
