The Death List Novel - Chapter 724
Chapter 724 Partnership
“You’re the person Donald was talking about, that Chris?” Alan looked at Qin Lun in surprise. The others beside him also looked over, but their faces were a little ugly.
No matter how slow a person was, they could still feel that meeting Qin Lun here was not a good thing. This meant that the mysterious force was always controlling their destiny.
“Nice to meet you, Alan. I’m Chris. Let’s find a place to talk!” Qin Lun shook hands with them in a friendly manner.
“Follow me!” Alan nodded at him and brought everyone to a somewhat quiet place.
“Chris, how did you come to Arcadia?” Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Alan asked impatiently.
“I just want to go somewhere without so many artifacts and avoid the attack of that mysterious force. Arcadia is the closest I can think of to New York, the most primitive national forest park in the natural environment.” Qin Lun didn’t mind telling them the reason why he chose Arcadia.
“In other words, you also feel that mysterious power. Do you have the same hallucination as Alan?” Big John hurriedly asked, and the others showed expressions of interest.
Normally, ordinary people who did not have the ability to predict would normally wait to observe the situation from the spot after encountering a scene like the explosion of an airplane. But when Qin Lun was at the airport, he directly left. If he hadn’t anticipated this disaster, he would have seemed a little too calm. It would be more appropriate to call it cold-blooded.
“No, I didn’t have any hallucinations. However, when I was on the plane, I felt extremely depressed and uncomfortable, as if I was being pressed down by a large mountain.” Qin Lun lied without changing his expression. “I had this feeling since childhood, when danger was coming, so I got off the plane. It’s just that it doesn’t work when it comes to time. It’s very unreliable.”
When they heard that Qin Lun did not have the ability to predict, but was just a kind of biological instinct that could sense danger, Allen and the others were somewhat disappointed.
“By the way, where did you and Donald go just now? Why did everyone from the camp come here? Did something happen?” Alan asked doubtfully.
They had just been awakened from their sleep by the crowd, but they didn’t know what had happened.
In fact, many of the people who woke up from their sleep and fled in panic did not know the truth. Only after hearing someone shouting for help and the monster’s attack did they flee with the crowd. Most people thought it was a wolf or bear from the forest that ran out.
Of course, there were also gunmen who came to Arcadia for the purpose of hunting. However, it was still nighttime, and they did not want to face the hungry beasts that were foraging for food at this time.
“No!” Qin Lun and Donald exchanged glances and told Allen and the others in a low voice about the tragic scene they had just seen in the camp ahead.
“Was this also created by that mysterious force?” Alan’s girlfriend Natasha’s lips turned pale. The little girl was obviously frightened.
“It shouldn’t be. If that mysterious force could still drive a wild beast, then it would have already been on the NBC.” John pinched his finger fiercely. “I’m afraid it won’t be able to get out. If it turns into a bear or something, I’ll definitely kill him.”
Everyone selectively ignored the big guy’s heroic words. Qin Lun had seen Luke’s corpse. According to Susan, the black man was a substitute member of the Stanford football team, and his physique was no worse than John’s.
However, the big guy was right. Driving wild beasts would leave behind many traces. In the event of a horrible tragedy, humans might study the beasts that caused the tragedy and discover clues, causing mysterious forces to appear in the news media long before they were exposed to humans.
“Donald and I have seen the appearance of those two corpses. Before the other person died, he told us some information about that monster. We don’t think it was a wild beast. At the very least, it is stronger than a bear and more aggressive.”
Qin Lun observed the expressions of Allen and the others as he narrated the information he knew.
“Chris, according to what you said, those friends of yours were also kidnapped by that monster?” Alan quickly noticed another point in Qin Lun’s words.
“Yes, they are similar to you. They are three men, three women and six university students. Two of them have been killed, one girl has been abducted, and the whereabouts of two others are unknown.” Qin Lun nodded solemnly. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked in surprise, “I remember that when you were at the airport, there seemed to be five of you together, right? Where are the other two?”
When Allen and the others were at the airport, there were indeed five people, three men and two women. Apart from Allen, John and Natasha, there was also an eyeglasses man and a black girl.
Now that Qin Lun thought about it, the two student combinations were actually somewhat similar. There was a skinny glasses man, a black girl, sexy girls like Natasha and Karin, and muscular guys like Luke and John. As for Ellen and Wilson, they could be considered the leaders of their respective teams, and they were both blondes.
Was there some sort of internal connection? Qin Lun narrowed his eyes. The similarity between the two student teams made him involuntarily sink into thought.
“Carmen, Fanny …” Natasha, who had left the spot to look for her two companions, quickly ran back in panic. “Alan, John, no good, they’re gone.”
“What? How did they disappear? I saw them before Chris came.” Alan and the others were shocked. They circled around the tent camp that belonged to the few of them. Sure enough, they didn’t find the thin glasses man and the black girl.
“Maybe they’re just looking for a place to make out!” John forced a smile. “Doesn’t Carmen have a crush on Fanny?”
“Impossible. Fanny told me personally that she and Carmen are impossible!” Natasha lost her composure and cried out to the surroundings, “Fanny … don’t scare me, come out!”
“We’ll find them.” Alan hugged his girlfriend’s head and comforted her softly. After Natasha calmed down, she turned to Qin Lun and asked, “Mr. Chris, did you …”
“No, I didn’t sense anything. Furthermore, judging from the situation around the camp, they shouldn’t have been kidnapped by monsters. This place is too tidy. It doesn’t seem like something has intruded.” Qin Lun said calmly, “I think they left on their own.”
“You left by yourself? Are you kidding me? They’re not three-year-olds. Why are they still leaving everyone at this time? Aren’t you afraid of death?” John shouted somewhat impatiently.
However, the big guy’s words still made sense, causing everyone to be silent again.
“I think we should go find that monster!” A weak voice interrupted. Everyone looked up and discovered that the person who made this suggestion was actually the cautious Great Fatty Donald.
“Fatty, if you want to die so badly, you can go yourself!” John waved his hand angrily, sat down on a wooden stake, pulled out a Xiaodao, and unconsciously bent down to draw at his feet.
“No, Donald is right. Perhaps this is indeed a solution!” Surprisingly, Qin Lun suddenly interrupted and agreed to this suggestion.
‘”Chris, you mean …” Alan thought for a moment and asked with some uncertainty.
“It’s definitely not a coincidence that we can meet here. That mysterious force is best at using fate-like coincidental events to cover up the truth.” Qin Lun looked around and said slowly.
Allen and the others nodded in agreement. There were many coincidences in the world, but it was very rare for people to die when they encountered a coincidence. Since the explosion of the plane, it had already lost three lives, one small one, and four others. However, the survivors who got off the plane were gathered again. What kind of coincidence was there? That was really a pig.
“Since it has gathered us together, do you feel that you will come after us?” Qin Lun said calmly, “If the answer is yes, then we won’t be safe anywhere …”
Qin Lun said slowly, giving everyone a buffer to digest. Seeing that everyone was slowly coming to their senses, he continued, “We used to be ordinary people who believed in the power of science. But now that something like this has happened, I’m afraid no one can deny the existence of mysterious powers.”
And I was wondering, if there was a mysterious existence in this world that could exploit fate, or death, would there be other gods, ghosts, devils, and the like? ”
“Chris, are you saying that this kind of thing also exists in Arcadia? Those two temporary companions of yours were killed by this kind of thing?” After all, Allen and the others were students who hadn’t stepped into society yet. Hearing Qin Lun’s words, they couldn’t help but panic.
Isn’t that so? I just left the tiger’s mouth and entered the wolf nest. How could I be even more unlucky?
“I don’t know, but I think we can take a look!” Qin Lun said calmly, “All ferocious beasts in the natural world have the concept of territory, so can there be mysterious powers? Death wants our lives, and the monsters that slaughtered humans in the camp want them too. Don’t you want to know if these two will conflict?”
“But … can we defeat the monster in the forest?” Natasha asked carefully.
“It’s not safe to stay. It’s better to fight. If we succeed, not only will we be able to save our own lives, we’ll also be able to save the lives of a few of our missing companions.” Qin Lun said, puzzled.
‘”Now that the people in the camp are in a mess, we can go collect some weapons left behind by some hunters. No matter how powerful the monsters in the forest are, they can’t be compared to rifles. Otherwise, humans will not be the rulers of this world. If we can still use them to fight against the god of death who controls fate, that would be great …”
“Let’s do this!” John, who was squatting on the wooden stake, stood up and said with a ferocious expression, “If I have to die, I would rather die in battle.”
