The person who spoke didn't take it seriously, but the people who heard it frowned, and the two team leaders had completely dark faces.

So, when the man who drank from the stream came back, what he was waiting for was the leader's scolding.

The man lowered his head and seemed to listen to the criticism seriously, but in fact he still didn't take it seriously.

While everyone was sitting and eating the king's food, Wen Zheng heard him muttering quietly, all of which were dissatisfaction with the team leader.

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, as long as it is not vented, the team can maintain harmony.

After the lunch break, the team continued to search along the direction of the stream. At first, there were gains, but then there was no new discovery for a long time, and everyone was a little irritated.

One team member held a long branch in his hand and rummaged feebly through the surrounding grass. He slowly walked to the front of the team and inadvertently raised his head.

There seems to be something in the grass ahead.

The team member walked forward a few steps excitedly and gradually felt something was wrong.

Why does this person lying in the grass look so like a person? He trembled all over, hurriedly retreated to the back, opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "Leader, there seems to be someone here.

" "people? Where is that? "Didn't you hear anyone say anything?" "Did you faint?" "After hearing this, several team members who were exploring the surrounding area quickly dropped their work and approached, curiously looking in the direction of the grass. The team leader also heard the sound and came over.

The person who discovered it first became bolder as soon as the others approached. He carefully opened the grass with a wooden stick in his hand, revealing a pale face.

"Ah ah ah!" The sudden scream made Wen Zheng, who was walking at the back, think something had happened, so he immediately accelerated and ran forward.

"Ugh..." Several teammates turned their heads to the side and vomited out everything they had eaten for lunch.

Chapter 172 The grass was pulled apart, revealing the whole person.

With a pale face, half of this person's body was buried in the stream. The sportswear he was wearing was in tatters. The exposed skin showed traces of being beaten, as well as scratches from various branches and blisters. There must be some swelling.

The team leader noticed something was wrong and held his breath to move the man slightly. The scar on his chest that had been cut by the knife was revealed to everyone. Everyone could see the deep white bones and a small amount of blood that had not drained out from the wound.

With such wounds on his body, he obviously couldn't survive.

The few people who were vomiting raised their heads and glanced at their bodies, then turned around and vomited even more. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

The body was immersed in the stream water they had just touched and even drank from.

The faces of the two team leaders were particularly ugly. As ordinary police officers, they had learned relevant knowledge before the disaster, and now it was time to find out in their minds.

Wen Zheng stood silently at the end and observed, analyzing the information about the corpse faster than them.

Judging from the exposed skin, there are no traces of animal bites. Except for accidental friction and bruises, serious wounds are caused by sharp blades.

There were many small wounds on his body, the fatal one being the knife in his chest.

It's like a hunter toying with the prey, chasing after it, attacking with small wounds, and watching the prey run away desperately, making the prey think it can escape, but it appears at the moment when the prey is full of hope, bringing deep despair.

It may also be that the hunters noticed their movement up the mountain and ended the game. After all, judging from the corpse, the time of death of the deceased was not far from now.

The two team leaders also analyzed this. One of them looked around cautiously, while the other wore a mask and wrapped his hands with cloth strips to examine the body.

Wen Zheng and the Huang brothers who came over helped, using branches to turn over the surrounding grass.

In the end, only a few footprints were found, which did not even prove the person's identity.

"Team leader, what should we do next?" someone on the team asked fearfully.

The team leader said: "After placing the bodies, we will return the same way.

"Bringing these team members back is his main task. After returning, he will report to his superiors and then send people to investigate the murderer.

"Okay, okay, let's go back first.

"Several team members were ecstatic.

The body was dragged out of the stream and moved to a place far away from the water source before the team embarked on the return journey.

On the way down the mountain, several team members were distracted and almost fell down.

Finally returning to the place where they entered the mountain, their team was the first to come back. As soon as they arrived, the leader walked to the nearby hut, apparently to report what happened on the mountain.

Wen Zheng was too bored to stay at the foot of the mountain, so Wang Jian walked around the forest for a few times, picking some common medicinal plants, which he could use himself or give to the base to exchange for contribution points.

"Xiao Wen, aren't you worried?" Brother Huang moved to Wen Zheng's side.

"What are you worried about?" "That murderer?" Brother Huang felt cold when he thought of the corpse in the stream. The impact of a corpse that died in a disaster and a corpse that was killed was completely different.

"Isn't there still a base?" Wen Zheng's tone was calm, but it strangely soothed Brother Huang's anxiety.

Brother Huang sighed: "If I don't catch him sooner, I won't dare to go up the mountain again.

"This mountain is not close to the base, but it is not too far. There are villages not far away. Thinking that there are such dangerous people hiding in the mountains, the patrolmen who are originally police officers and are responsible for surrounding people cannot let it go.

When all the teams went down the mountain and rushed back to the base, Wen Zheng noticed that there were several fewer armed guards. It seemed that they were returning to the mountain to look for traces of the murderer.

After returning to the base, the team rushed to the logistics office to hand in all captured prey and tally the contribution points.

After running in the mountains for a day, everyone was sweating a lot and smelled of sweat.

"Xiao Wen, let's take a shower.

"Brother Huang greeted.

A collective bathhouse is built in the base, next to the canteen.

We have to feed so many people every day, and the fire in the canteen is almost never extinguished. The groundwater is simply purified through pipes and then passes through the canteen, which can ensure the supply of hot water.

However, on a hot day, hot water is of course not as popular as cold water. Especially today, the people who went up the mountain were all young and strong adult men. They just like to take a refreshing cold bath. Zheng Zheng even laughed a few times when he saw the hot water.

Wen Zheng had no interest in paying attention to them. These people quickly changed the subject because they were bored.

After taking a shower and having dinner in the cafeteria, Wen Zheng returned to the dormitory comfortably.

Tuantuan squatted in front of a basket filled with leaf mold, holding a small shovel to loosen the soil. There were vegetable seeds next to it.

These baskets were made by Wen Zheng in his free time not long after he arrived at the base. They were filled with soil seeds for serving and placed in the dormitory. They could also be used as potted plants to green the environment.

The vegetables inside have been planted for a round, and Wen Zheng mentioned that they were ready to be harvested when he left.

There are leeks with only the roots left in the two baskets next to them. The green vegetables in the other boxes have been pulled out and sent to the purchasing department.

Wen Zheng found a few unused small baskets, placed the medicinal plants picked today in them, and cleaned up the branches and leaves.

This common, unprocessed herb was not worth a few contribution points, so Wen Zheng and Wang Jian chose to concoct it themselves, which was considered a boring way to pass the time.

"Dad, how about going up the mountain today?" Tuantuan was busy nearby, chatting quietly with Wen Zheng.

Wen Zheng knew that Tuantuan was no ordinary child, so he whispered the matter.

"There were only two people's footprints around the accident site. There should be only one murderer. It would be no problem if the guards had guns in their hands.

" That being said, the guards did not return to the base the next day. Instead, they waited for Lao Jin and the nearby fellow villagers.
