Chapter 1634 - Abnormal (2/2)

In front of them was a deserted village, completely abandoned, with no trace of the original huts but scattered mud walls and barely visible foundations of houses.

These were the remains of the Inuit village, which had long since disappeared, replaced by shrubs and weeds.

Steve and the others were here, and that was where they disappeared, and when the men Elson had sent got here, they couldnʼt find any trace of Steveʼs group.

Brother Wolf entered the village carefully and walked around, shaking his head as he said, “There is no trace of any people being here recently.”

Nature was almost becoming pristine again, with lush vegetation. Because it was spring when Steve and his party arrived, even if they had left some tracks, they would be obscured by vegetation now.

With a wave of Li Duʼs hand, Ah Fei rose from the roof of the car. A camera was strapped to its claws, which could help the party observe the area from high above.

The most conspicuous was the lake not far away, a vast expanse of water that looked like crystal. With water ripples and mist around it, an island was looming ahead.

Li Du then released the space-time bugs, trying to reverse the time of some of the vegetation here, to see if he could find anything.

Then, something shocking happened!

After the space-time bugs appeared, they did not listen to his command, and just stayed in his palm. They did not fly out as he wished as they always did.

Li Du had a horrified expression on his face, and Brother Wolf was immediately aware of this. He quickly pulled out a dagger from his belt and asked, “Boss, whatʼs wrong?”

Pulling himself together, Li Du waved his hand and said, “Nothing. I just thought of something. You take some men and survey the surroundings.”

Brother Wolf beckoned. Firecracker, Big Ivan and other men divided into two groups and disappeared into the ruins of the dilapidated village.

Young Markelov spat out his gum and said, “Boss, you donʼt look well.”

The weird performance of the space-time bugs made Li Du puzzled, and his facial expression would, of course, be odd. These two fellas were the reason why he could make so much money up to now.

Li Du nodded and returned to the car. The space-time bugs remained silent in his palms. Both of the tiny creatures stood motionless.

Neither he nor Brother Wolf and the others got any results even after carefully searching the surroundings.

Li Du pondered for a while then said, “Letʼs drive away from this place first. Where is the nearest living area? Letʼs take a break and make a plan.”

Driver studied the map and said, “There is the nearest town about forty kilometers away from here. It is far and the road conditions are not good.”

Li Du said, “Letʼs go and have a look.”

When the car left the village, he frowned to think about the abnormal change of the space-time bugs. After about half an hour, he once again tried to control the space-time bugs and suddenly found that the little bugs could obey his command again!

Then he knew that there was something wrong in the surroundings of the village and that the anomaly of the space-time bugs was caused by being there!

Moving on to the town, this speculation was proved more and more strongly. As they moved away from the village ruins, the space-time bugs went back to acting totally normal again!
