Chapter 455: Blood in the dark

Meng Chao's heart moved.
The purpose of these brawny men coming to the temporary settlement was to find Ninglang to force debts.
Since he was not found at home, he naturally had to go to other pioneers to find out about him.
Meng Chao didn't stay in Ning Xing's house for long.
If they didn't find Ning Lang's whereabouts, they should continue to ask about the past from Ning Lang's companions, and they would not leave so easily.
Seeing that they are hurrying and purposeful, there should be news.
Meng Chao pondered for a moment.
The combination of these clues, Chaocheng, Bloodstripe Flower, and Divine Transformation Capsule, was enough for him to waste some time and follow up to find out.
Thinking of this, Meng Chao did not rush, following behind the brawny.
After leaving the temporary settlement, these brawny men took out the folding three-dimensional mobile suits from their backpacks, opened them and put them on.
All of a sudden, the speed soared tenfold, and it smashed on the dedicated road on the facade of the high-rise building.
Although Meng Chao did not carry a three-dimensional mobile suit.
But relying on the powerful movement function of the heavenly realm, even if you walk in a leisurely court, you will not lose your target.
However, the evening rush has passed long ago, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, and these brawny men are gradually speeding toward the outskirts of the city.
Meng Chao had to take a deep breath. The psychic energy stimulated the olfactory cells, locked their breath, and then moved a distance away so that they would not be easy to find.
Half an hour later, a faint odor came from the front.
This is a garbage disposal center on the outskirts of the city.
The strong men disappeared behind the rolling mountains of garbage.
Meng Chao frowned slightly.
I forcibly endured the nasal mucosa being bombarded by the smell of various trash after fermentation.
Tears and nose have the urge to burst the bank.
There is no way, after ascending to the heavenly realm, the perception is too keen, and it may not be a good thing in any situation.
He could barely understand the feeling of Lusiya as a "sensitive person".
"I hate garbage dumps."
Meng Chao murmured to himself, and the cat rushed towards the depths of the dump.
While carefully avoiding the scavengers' eyes, he carefully sniffed the odor that came to his face. From thousands of different odors, he identified the breath of those strong men.
Went around the entire garbage dump, but never found these strong men.
"Strange, where can they go?"
Meng Chaozhuo stood at the highest point of a mountain of garbage, squinted, his eyes scanning the audience like an electric arc.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly, and he felt a faint fluctuation of psychic energy.
Like a black cheetah, Meng Chao swept down the garbage hill under the cover of night and came to a row of abandoned buildings that were almost submerged on the edge of the garbage dump.
Soon, a maintenance shaft was found here.
This garbage dump originally used incineration to process garbage and output electricity and heat.
Later, with the introduction of advanced technologies such as sandworm phagocytosis and microbial fermentation, there was a more efficient way to convert waste into energy, and the incineration workshop and generator set as auxiliary facilities of the garbage dump were gradually abandoned.
The maintenance shaft that leads directly to the underground incineration workshop is rusty on the outside of the manhole cover, as if it has withstood decades of erosion.
But a lot of rust has been rubbed off the edge, and it seems that it has been opened recently or even just recently.
Meng Chao knelt on one knee, his nose fluttering.
A faint smell of blood came from the depths of the maintenance shaft.
"not good!"
Meng Chao's pupils suddenly contracted, and without hesitation, he opened the manhole cover and jumped down.
He fell to the bottom of the shaft more than ten meters lightly like a feather.
While there is still a signal, call Ye Xiaoxing and Lu Siya respectively.
But their phones are always turned off.
It seems to be performing urgent tasks together or in an area with severe signal interference.
The smell of blood in the front is getting stronger and stronger.
Meng Chao could only close his phone, tighten his muscles, and carefully explore the past.
The maintenance access is as complicated as a maze.
They lead to several black garbage incinerators.
Every incinerator is as silent as death, like a crematorium magnified ten times.
Meng Chao blinked, and circles of pale gold soon appeared outside his pupils.
The golden ring kept zooming in and out, so that he could scan everything around him clearly with his psychic energy in the darkness where he could not see his fingers.
For the time being, those strong men were not found.
But they did smell their breath.
Especially the lingering smell of sweat.
They seemed to sweat a lot.
Only in two situations can people sweat so much.
One is strenuous exercise.
The second is extreme fear.
Suddenly, Meng Chao stopped, knelt on one knee, took out a pair of tweezers from the inner pocket of his clothes, and carefully picked up something from the ground.
This is a finger.
A piece of finger that is soft to the touch and warm, with blood flowing through it.
The fingers are thick and short, the fingerprints are almost polished, and the skin is quite rough. They should be the fingers of men who have been trained in professional combat or shooting for a long time.
The cross-section of the finger was messy, not like being cut off by a cold weapon or being bitten by someone, but abruptly snapped and torn off.
Searching all the way along the severed finger, Meng Chao found dots of blood.
The blood beads were radiating and splashed all over the underground incinerator.
Although in the dark, it almost blends with the surrounding cold metal, but in the eyes of Meng Chao, they are as distinct as fireflies.
Fireflies are flying wildly.
Sketch an extremely cruel scene.
"These brawny... should have found Ning Lang's hiding place.
"They came fiercely, rushed straight to the target, encountered Ninglang here, and handed over in the first time.
"It stands to reason that they are just forcing debts, and there is no need to put people to death.
"So, it was Ning Lang who did it first.
"From the distribution of bloodstains, the first two strong men were torn the carotid artery by Ning Lang or other people hiding here, and blood spilled all over the wall.
"The rest were caught off guard. There should be a guy here who was directly penetrated through his chest to leave blood in this form.
"The other strong men saw that Ning Lang was so cruel, they were all so scared that they wanted to turn their heads and run away, but they were overtaken by Ning Lang one by one, and they directly killed them with heavy methods-most likely it was a heavy hammer hitting the back of the head. The brain was shattered, so, except for a little blood spattered from the Qiqiao, there was not much blood flowing.
"These brawny men and I came here back and forth, and the time difference is no more than half an hour. Ning Lang is likely to solve these brawny men in just one minute, and then cleaned up the corpses within three minutes and left here quietly. .
"Since these brawny men can be sent to force debts, they are all brave and fierce. I have just collided with one of them. They can make me feel mosquito bites. Their physical fitness can reach At the peak of ordinary people, ordinary one-star spirit pattern realm, may not be able to silently kill so many people in just one minute.
"Is it... the reason for the divine transformation capsule?"
In Meng Chao's mind, he saw the extraordinary man who looked like a mutant adult ape in the wilderness during the day.
There is also the extraordinary person who was entangled in flames, burned, and turned into ashes.
As well as the corpses whose blood has evaporated and burned.
He stood in the dark, carefully speculating about Ninglang.
It stands to reason that even if you owe a debt, there is no need to kill someone directly when you see the creditor.
Debt is an economic dispute.
Murder is a vicious crime.
In troubled times, with heavy codes, Longcheng has the death penalty.
Although these fierce and strong men are not necessarily good people, they have several cases on their backs, and killing them will not necessarily be directly sentenced to death.
But it is very likely to be sent to the most dangerous mining farm in the depths of the wilderness to perform hard labor; even into a "death squad" to go to the depths of the monster mountain hundreds of kilometers away from Dragon City to explore the coordinates of satellite towns and doomsday beasts' dens. It is not much different from the immediate execution of the death penalty.
Scum is also a resource.
In a place such as Dragon City where resources are scarce, the greatest value must be squeezed from executed prisoners.
Ning Lang has been a gangster for several years.
The so-called promiscuity means that small mistakes continue and big mistakes are not committed. Perhaps the legal provisions on vicious crimes are more proficient than lawyers and judges?
Why did he kill these debt collectors as soon as he met?
Hatred?
It's not very similar. Although these guys went to his house today to make trouble, he is hiding here and has no contact with the family. He probably doesn't know about it.
That is... Ning Lang is hiding here, doing something that is absolutely invisible, and being accidentally broken by these debt collectors?
This explanation seems much more reasonable.
While thinking, Meng Chao searched around, and quickly found some empty cans, packaging of high-energy nutrients, and found a few 70% new sleeping bags.
It seems that these days, Ning Lang and some people who don't know their identities have been dormant here.
Meng Chao also found some solid steel bars twisted into twists and iron plates torn in half.
The thickness of the iron plate exceeds five centimeters.
The reason why I was sure was torn apart abruptly, because deep fingerprints were found on the iron plate.
In this way, those steel bars with a diameter of three to five centimeters were also directly twisted into a ball.
Ordinary people certainly don't have such strong power.
"Are Ning Lang and his companions practicing or testing their strength after taking the Shenbian Capsule?"
In Meng Chao's heart, the ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger.
Finally, he found a pile of burnt ashes in the ventilation duct of the incinerator.
I tried it with my finger, and the ashes still kept a weak temperature.
It seems that after the murder, Ning Lang prepared to evacuate urgently and temporarily burned a large amount of paper materials.
Because he was anxious to leave, he didn't have time to wait for all the materials to be burned.
The underground air was dull, the ducts were not well ventilated when the incinerator was closed, and the materials on it were all burned. In the ashes below, there was still a pile of scorched, browned and black shreds of paper.
"this is……"
Meng Chao carefully picked up all the unburned scraps of paper, and roughly put them together.
At first glance, it looks like a map.
