The people from the Order Department drove the reporter out of the gate and rushed towards the addresses of several missing people. Before setting off, the people from the Order Department asked: "Where do those missing people live?" That area? Did they share a house?"
"No, there are hundreds of workers in our garment factory, and they live everywhere. These workers also have houses in the barrier. We’re not sharing a house or living together,” the garment factory owner explained.
"That's a bit strange," said Wang Zhongrui, a staff member of the Order Department, puzzled: "We don't live together, but we disappeared together. Don't you find it strange? They are usually in the factory. How is your performance? Have you lost anything valuable in your factory recently?”
Wang Zhongrui thought of the possibility that the workers in the factory had stolen something valuable and escaped?
Such a thing has happened before, but the criminal was very miserable that time and was found by artificial intelligence before he could escape the barrier.
"The most valuable things in our factory are machinery and equipment, as well as raw materials, but they can't steal these things. If they steal them, there's no place to sell them," the boss denied this speculation.
"Then we can only go to the scene and see," Wang Zhongrui said.
The scope of the wall-crawling tiger is now very large. The location mentioned by the garment factory owner is the birthplace that was first mentioned in the Hope Media newspaper.
Many residents of the fortress who have precious items such as cameras go there to take photos with the winter wall-creepers.
However, there are now more than just a small area of wall-crawlers. When Wang Zhongrui drove into the area of wall-creepers, he asked the co-pilot's garment factory owner: "There are crawlers everywhere here." Wall-creeping tigers, where do they live?"
The owner of the garment factory said: "Turn left, then turn right and you're there. It's strange. Why are there more and more wall-crawling tigers? Sir? I don’t see the residential building on the left. I remember that it didn’t spread to this place yesterday. Why is the entire residential building covered today? If I hadn’t been very familiar with this place, I might have gotten lost. ”
The lush wall-creepers are so dense that they even cover the street signs above the residential buildings.
At first, the residents thought it looked pretty, but now the wall-creepers have affected everyone’s lives. Pedestrians coming and going on the street are somewhat dissatisfied with this wall-crawler.
Wang Zhongrui looked at the wall-climbing tiger and always felt that something was wrong, but he could not figure out what the problem was.
“We’re here,” the owner of the garment factory said, “This is the residential building next to it. There is a worker’s family living on the first floor.”
Wang Zhongrui parked the car and walked into the corridor. He asked strangely: "Hey, do wall-creepers usually grow in the corridors? Don't they all grow in places where the sun can shine?"
At this time, Wang Zhongrui saw that the corridors in front of him were all crawled. The wall was covered with tigers, and the original white wall had disappeared. However, Wang Zhongrui didn’t think the wall-climbing tigers looked good. Instead, he felt a little uncomfortable behind his back.cold.
But the people in the Department of Order would not be scared by the wall-crawler, so he bravely walked in.
It's just strange that the door of this resident's house is open. Wang Zhongrui asked: "Did you open this door?"
"No," the garment factory The director said: "It was open when I came yesterday. I wonder if they didn't even close the door when they left?"
Wang Zhongrui walked into the house. There were no traces of fighting as expected. There are no clues.
It’s just that Wang Zhongrui is much more experienced than the director of the garment factory. Although their Order Department no longer investigates cases on its own and relies entirely on artificial intelligence, the people in the Order Department have experienced professional training.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Zhongrui noticed something was wrong. There was a sweaty fingerprint on the door frame. It was not particularly obvious, but it was strange.
The mark left by the handprint was like someone just opened the door with a key and came in, and then was suddenly pulled out of the house by something. Then the person tried to grab the door frame, but failed. catch.
Wang Zhongrui looked behind him in horror when he thought of this, but there was nothing behind him!
Wang Zhongrui looked at the room and didn't want to stay any longer. He said to the director of the garment factory: "Let's go out first and ask other residents upstairs."
As he said these two words When people went upstairs, Wang Zhongrui discovered that the wall-creeper had climbed all over the building, both inside and outside.
When he arrived at the second floor, Wang Zhongrui was shocked to find that the doors of the two houses upstairs were open. He asked, "Did you go upstairs yesterday?"
"No. "Ah," the director of the garment factory said, "Why do I go upstairs if I have nothing to do?"
What Wang Zhongrui wants to ask is whether the door on the second floor was open when you came yesterday! Are the residents here still there?
Suddenly, Wang Zhongrui shouted at the top of his lungs: "Is there anyone in the house?!"
He didn't even dare to enter the house now. The huge sense of crisis was threatening him. Wang Zhongrui's back was covered in sweat at this time!
The next moment, Wang Zhongrui saw a trace of blood on the ground. It was very little, mixed with dust. Others might not recognize it as a blood stain, but how could someone in his profession not recognize it!
"Run!" Wang Zhongrui shouted.
After saying that, he took the director's arm and ran downstairs, but by this time it was already too late. Wang Zhongrui saw that the wall-creeper on the corridor wall seemed to be "alive" and moved toward the two sides. People pulled over.
Wang Zhongrui no longer hesitated, and now he rushed into the house. In his impression, there were no wall-crawlers in the house on the first floor, right?
He and the field director managed to rush into the house before the wall-crawler caught them. The field director was shocked: "What's going on? What kind of monster is this? Why can the wall-crawler move?" !"
But Wang Zhongrui had no time to explain. After entering the house, he took a run and rushed towards the window as fast as he could.
With a crash, Wang Zhongrui used his shoulder toHe broke the window and was knocked out from the second floor. Due to the strong inertia of the run-up, the wall-creeper outside tried to pull him, but Wang Zhongrui tore off many vines instead.
Wang Zhongrui landed on the street with a thud. Pedestrians on the street looked at him in surprise, but he ignored it and shouted to the second floor: "Jump out! Hurry up, or it will be too late. !”
But...
The second floor was quiet, and no one responded to him, as if nothing happened.
People on the street looked at Wang Zhongrui like a fool, and no one knew who he was talking to.
Wang Zhongrui’s scalp suddenly became numb. He took out his ID and shouted at passers-by: “I’m from the Department of Order, stay away from those wall-crawlers and run to a place where there are no wall-crawlers. !"
Everyone became nervous when they saw his ID card from the Department of Order. Someone asked: "Sir, what's wrong with this wall-crawler? Is there a problem?"
Wang Zhongrui? He said in a deep voice: "This wall-creeper can eat people!"
He stood in the middle of the street, looking at the densely packed wall-creepers around him, as well as the residential buildings that were already covered by wall-creepers. I don’t know how many people have been “eaten” by wall-crawlers.
But escaping was not absolutely safe, because Wang Zhongrui knew that the wall-crawler would take the initiative to arrest people, but for some reason, as soon as he landed on the street, the wall-crawler immediately stopped moving.
