Chapter 1475: Chapter 1474-unnamed town
Gao ya’s estimation was right. At 10:00 pm, the special task force’s vehicles found man-made roads in the valley, as well as a lot of garbage.
It meant that they were very close to the town in the valley.
After they arrived, the Jeep drove even more cautiously. The special Agent team members in the Jeep were carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Of course, Zhao Yu not only turned on the invisible detector early in the morning, but also used his points to enhance it and expand the detection range.
“Eh? That’s not right?” Guan Ying’s confused voice came from the walkie-talkie.”We should’ve seen at least a few people here, right?” Where is he?”
“That’s right,” Wu diqiu, who was driving, said to PU Jiayou,”Captain, let’s use the drone to Scout the area?”
“En …” PU Jiayou pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.”Alright, prepare the drone!”
At PU Jiayou’s command, two cars stopped by the side of the road. The team members quickly got out of the cars and started to prepare the drones …
Zhao Yu also got out of the car. The temperature difference between day and night in the valley was huge. At this moment, the sun was shining, and the temperature rose sharply, making Zhao Yu feel a little stuffy.
He stopped to observe the environment, and his mood could not help but become more complicated.
All kinds of household garbage were scattered on the roadside, and there were very few trees around. Although there were many places with weeds, the color of the weeds was yellow, giving people a sense of desolation.
The ditch beside the road was filled with a foul smell. He took a few steps forward and looked down at the ditch, only to see that the ditch was full of rotten mud. There was an animal corpse lying by the ditch, but because it had been too long, only bones were left.
From the shape of the bones, it should be a yak …
Tsk tsk …
This place … Was too vile, wasn’t it? What kind of people could live here?
“I see it, I see it!” At this moment, not long after the drone was released, the Secret Service agent named Guan Ying sent back a message.”The village is about 100 meters ahead. There’s really no one here … Captain, look …”
PU Jiayou looked at the video sent back by the drone. Indeed, he saw a desolate and dilapidated scene. The entire village was deathly silent. Whether it was the roads or the houses, they were all covered in a thick layer of yellow dust …
“Tsk tsk …” PU Jiayou frowned slightly and said,”it seems that this small town has been abandoned for a long time! I don’t know if it’s because of the war or the deterioration of the environment …”
“If there’s no one, it won’t be easy to find!” Gao ya shook her head in disappointment.
“No matter what, I have to go in and take a look!” Seeing that the town was already in sight, PU Jiayou naturally couldn’t miss it. He immediately assigned tasks to his team members.”Guanying, expand the range of the drone’s detection. Gao ya, Kong Shuo, you two stay here with Guanying and wait for my orders!
“Everyone else, bring your equipment. We’re going in to take a look! “Mm …” After giving the order, he saw Zhao Yu and quickly asked,”detective Zhao, you mean …”
“What do you think?” Zhao Yu dusted his clothes and said,”of course I have to go in! Just because there’s no one doesn’t mean we can’t find any clues!”
“Alright!”
PU Jiayou gave one of his men a look, and the man immediately stood behind Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu understood that Captain PU was sending people to protect him. He had wanted to say a few more words and tell them that they didn’t need to take care of him, but on second thought, it was more important to find the whereabouts of the exploration team. There was no need to be pretentious.
So, after some slight adjustments, PU Jiayou led Zhao Yu and the others to the nameless town ahead.
As this was not a Special Forces mission, they did not carry any guns. They lined up in a specific formation like soldiers and entered the town while hiding their traces.
They were all merchants who came to do business, so it was more natural for them to walk.
However, no one knew what was going on in the town. Everyone quietly pressed their holsters and was ready at all times …
The unnamed town was located at the foot of the mountain to the South. Looking into the distance, one could see a Canyon between the mountains that led to the Inland.
It was obvious that through this town, the people could enter the hinterlands of Vakra from the Nelia Valley. On the whole, the town was more like a relay station in the valley!
Before long, the team entered the town. The buildings in the town were low and behind, and they were made of a variety of materials. There were brick houses, wooden houses, thatched houses, and even tents covered in mud, which could only be seen in primitive tribes.
Zhao Yu looked at everything in front of him and quickly made up his mind. From the thickness of the dust, he could tell that the town had been abandoned for at least a year.
Moreover, he observed the dried-up Wells and some vegetable fields overgrown with weeds. From this, he estimated that the town’s wasteland was likely related to the lack of resources and the deterioration of the environment.
In addition, he also noticed that although the town was deserted, every house was well-preserved, and every room was empty, which meant that the residents had a plan to evacuate.
If it had been a war, it shouldn’t have been like this.
“Tsk tsk …” The area of the town was not big. After checking more than half of the town, Captain PU Jiayou said to Zhao Yu,”detective Zhao, we’ve encountered a difficult problem!
“There …” He pointed in the direction of the inner part of vachery, and then pointed to the Shiya Valley on the other side, and said,”should we go to the inner part of vachery, or continue to look for clues along the valley?
“The vachery region. Although it’s very dangerous, at least we can find some living people to gather information!” Captain PU said,”however, if we continue to advance along the valley, I’m afraid that our supplies will run into problems!”
“No, don’t worry,” Zhao Yu said, as he carefully observed the ground of the town.”Did you see that there were fresh tire marks on the road we just came from?
“Here …” Zhao Yu bent down and squatted on the ground, then pointed to the traces on the ground and said,”these traces are fresh, which means … There were vehicles here in a short time!”
“Oh?” Hearing Zhao Yu’s words, the team members “eyes lit up, as if they had seen hope. One of the team members couldn’t help but ask,”could it be related to the exploration team and the hot air balloon?”
“I’m not sure,” Zhao Yu said.”I can only tell that the car was driven in from outside the town, and there are no signs of reverse …”
“Oh?” PU Jiayou immediately knelt on the ground, looked at the tire marks, and said,”looking at these marks, the car should have driven into the inner part of vachelia, right? So …”
“Wait …” Zhao Yu bent down and looked around. He found a row of unusual things on a pillar of a wooden house.
“What’s that? It’s a bullet, right?” One of the Secret Service agents noticed the problem and immediately pulled out a knife to pull the bullet out of the wooden pillar.
Next to the bullet, there were more identical bullets embedded.
“Is this … An AK?” Zhao Yu asked,”the terrorists used it?”
“No!” The experienced PU Jiayou recognized it at a glance.”These are bullets from an AM17 short rifle! This model … Should be the latest!
“This …” After seeing the bullet, PU Jiayou’s expression changed slightly, revealing an obvious look of worry.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the bullet?” Zhao Yu asked.
“It’s the regular army!” PU Jiayou said worriedly,”the AM17 just came out not long ago. It’s impossible for it to reach valkries so quickly!
“Oh my God!” Captain PU clenched his fist and said,”could it be that the disappearance of the exploration team was an international conspiracy?!”
