Doomsday female supporting role

Chapter 273 The Twelfth Person

It was clearly the shadow of the two of them shoulder to shoulder, but they suddenly stood against three heads. The head in the middle was larger than the head on the left and right sides, and there was no sign of men, women, old and young, and even the neck was invisible.

It was like a naughty partner suddenly appeared behind the two of them, putting their heads on their shoulders, scaring them, like a prank.

However, the owner of the shadow still seemed to be unaware of anything.

Xia Qing remained silent, her eyes swept across the faces of the rest of the team one by one, and no one noticed the abnormality here.

But in a moment, just as her eyes turned and looked at the black shadow on the other end of the fire again, a strange phenomenon reappeared.

The black shadow that looked like a human head slightly tilted to the left and right, as if he was looking at something, and then the head turned to one side.

The silhouette of the head looks extremely strange, with the position of the forehead being abnormally protruding, and the undulation of the bridge of the nose is relatively gentle, and it is hook-shaped to the tip of the nose.

At this moment, the silhouette of the head suddenly began to tilt back, and the upper and lower jaws opened to an extremely exaggerated angle. The corners of the mouth were almost to the back of the ears, and the next moment it bite...

All this happened too quickly, and before she could come up with a solution, she couldn't help but pause again.

It was still a shadow that was shoulder to shoulder, but only a head was missing. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, everything would have looked normal at this time.

The twelfth "person" disappeared, or the shadow of the eleventh person was replaced by the twelfth "person"...

Xia Qing looked at the two people under the flames again, one of whom lowered his head as if he was sleeping, and the other stared at the bonfire with his eyes without focal length as if he was dazed. The two people seemed to have no change, but the change was happening quietly.

The two of them were obviously not moving, but one of the black shadows behind them was shaking their heads, as if they were savoring, and as if they were adapting.

She withdrew her gaze expressionlessly. She could speak to remind the others in the team, but most likely they would not believe it at all. Instead, they would suspect that she had ulterior motives and might even alert the enemy.

Wei Sheng has a deep grudge against her, so he deliberately targets her, so he will not believe her one-sided words.

At this time, Xia Qing suddenly stopped the movements in her hand, quietly changed her posture of holding the knife, and looked sharply at the side.

Wang Ruiting, who was a few steps away from her, suddenly stopped and stood a little awkwardly with a water bag in her hand.

Seeing that it was her, Xia Qing nodded slightly at her and continued the movements in her hands.

Wang Ruiting moved her feet again, and sat on the ground about one meter away from Xia Qing. She placed the water bag in her hand half a arm away from Xia Qing: "I see you are reluctant to drink water, you can hold this water bag."

He clearly had good intentions, but his tone of speaking was a little cold and hard.

Xia Qing looked at Wang Ruiting with a little confusion.

With insufficient light, Wang Ruiting actually couldn't see the expression on Xia Qing's face clearly, but seemed to guess what Xia Qing meant, so she explained again: "I am a water-based supernatural psychic."

"Thank you." Xia Qing thanked in a low voice.

Wang Ruiting showed a look of wanting to speak but stopping. She couldn't see Xia Qing's expression clearly, but Xia Qing could see clearly. From her hesitation, Xia Qing seemed to understand something.

As expected, the next moment, Wang Ruiting spoke: "Whether you believe it or not, I did not deliberately make you late."

She seemed not good at speaking and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Qing: "I know."

Wang Ruiting turned her head to look at Xia Qing in surprise. She seemed to see the girl smiling at her, very shallow and fleeting. She was a little suspicious of whether she was dazzled. She looked away from her eyes and looked in the direction of the fire, and reminded her in a vague way: "No matter how good the gun is now, it may not be worth a reliable knife."

Xia Qing nodded, she could feel Wang Ruiting's kindness.

Repaying the favor, she said, "I am not familiar with the people in the team. Can you tell me?"

Listening to Wang Ruiting's introduction, Xia Qing finally learned that the man sitting next to Wei Sheng was named Wang Luo, who was once a hacker on the dark web. The two men near the fire, one was Zhang Jiankong, a space psychic, and the other was Qian Can, a fire psychic.

After Wang Ruiting introduced the people one by one, the branches in Xia Qing's hand had also taken shape. She looked at Wang Ruiting and said, "It's better to keep important things by your side."

The twelfth "person" devoured Zhang Jiankong's shadow. Although she didn't know what this meant, Qian Can next to him might not be safe and sound. As for what the black shadow was, how it avoided the investigation of the mentally powerful psychic psychics in the team, she knew nothing.

But she vaguely felt that the shadow might be related to the warm and strange death. If this was the case, then their trip would not be to cut off the weeds, but to become the turtle that caught the turtle in the jar.

It is implied that Wang Ruiting is not only to repay her. If one person is more vigilant, he will always find more clues. At least Wang Ruiting is more familiar with Zhang Jiankong and Qian Can than her. Wang Ruiting made a reminder, he will naturally win the trust of Wei Sheng and others more than her.

Wang Ruiting was not stupid, but was a little agile. Although Xia Qing's words were abrupt, they reminded something obscurely. She subconsciously looked at Zhang Jiankong, the only space psychic in the team.

At this moment, Zhang Jiankong, who had originally lowered his head, suddenly raised his head and his eyes shot straight to the location where Wang Ruiting was.

Inexplicably, Wang Ruiting's heart rate suddenly became out of order. She was not familiar with Zhang Jiankong. She only knew that this person was usually taciturn and always had a stern face, but at this time, Zhang Jiankong brought a stiff smile to her.

She barely maintained her surface calmness and looked away as if nothing had happened.

If something goes wrong, she will be a demon. She seems to realize something, but she has not chosen to make a statement.

She glanced at what was in Xia Qing's hand and asked casually: "What are you doing?"

"slingshot."

After saying that, Xia Qing raised her hand to expose her wrist, untied a yellow rubber band two fingers wide from her white and slender wrist, wrapped it several times at both ends of the slingshot stand, and a slingshot was completed.

She tried the feel, and the first time she made a slingshot, it was actually pretty good.

The best materials for making slingshots are huanghuali, rosewood, sandalwood, followed by boxwood and mulberry. However, this mulberry tree is a mutant plant, and its material should not be inferior to high-quality wood such as huanghuali and rosewood.

In addition, thanks to the mutant bison tendon in her hand. After the Colosseum incident, the mutant bison's corpse was severely damaged, and the bones, internal organs, and crystal cores that could be used after dismantling were replaced with items and points.

She left behind the tanned beef tendon, and she began to make a slingshot at that time, but she still lacked good wood.

The mutant bison's tendons are as soft as cotton, but they are extremely tough and have excellent elasticity. The rubber bands and leather pockets used as slingshots are the best.

And the reason why she knew how to make a slingshot was because of a senior in the police.

This senior worked as a policeman for his whole life. After retirement, he was unwilling to be idle at home. He was specially appointed to be a manager of the logistics equipment library.

When the old senior was young, he was a security police officer in the jurisdiction. He was a police station in a remote area. He could not even have a handcuff in his hands, let alone a gun. In addition, the state's gun control was strict, even if the police officers fired, many police officers could not even touch the gun.

You can't use a gun, but there are no restrictions on slingshots. The hunters in the countryside are confiscated and will use a slingshot to hunt.

The slingshot is good, not inferior to the pistol. If you hit the rabbit's left eye thirty or forty meters away, you will never hurt its right eye.

So, the old senior learned the skills of making slingshots and shooting slingshots from the countryside.

The logistics equipment warehouse is not far from the forensic anatomy room. She often works until late at night, while the old senior often takes care of young people and often works night shifts. After a while, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.

She saw the old senior making slingshots more than once. Although she had never made slingshots by herself, she always remembered the old man's hands, which were like dead trees, and used a knife to cut branches, carefully polished the handle with sand skin, and then tied rubber bands and slingshot bags to the slingshot stand.

Although the old man was already dizzy, his posture when playing a slingshot could vaguely see how he looked when he was young. Sometimes when she was intrigued, she would learn from the old man, which could relieve her boredom in her work.

She didn't expect that the excitement at that time would come in handy now.

Among the police, "transmitting and helping" has always been advocated, which is a habit and inheritance, and it is also a continuation of the excellent genes of the public security. It is undeniable that the skills of many police predecessors may have fallen behind in terms of changing technology and technology, or may be replaced by advanced technological means.

However, when facing the desperate situation of the end of the world, advanced technology can no longer become a reliance for mankind. It is condensed from human wisdom and experience to form skills, but it bursts out with tenacious vitality.

Seeing Xia Qing rubbing the slingshot in her hand, Wang Ruiting seemed to be trapped in memories, she stopped talking but observed Zhang Jiankong and Qian Can quietly.

The two of them could not see anything unusual at this time, but the anxiety she was aroused did not disappear.

The fire was "crackling", and some people added some dry branches from time to time to prevent the fire from extinguishing.

At this moment, Lin Jie, who was in charge of alert, suddenly spoke out: "Someone is here!"

Everyone sitting around immediately became alert, their hands were already on the weapons. Even though they knew that it might be someone who had met with them, the team members did not dare to relax their vigilance.

Soon, the group followed the fire and appeared in everyone's sight through the woods. It was Luo Bowen and his party.
