Thanks to Luke's efforts, the SUV finally avoided a head-on collision with the red vintage car.
The two cars passed each other, but the left front wheel of the SUV hit a dirt slope on the side of the road and suddenly flew up at an angle.
Luke moved quickly, turned around, pulled Selina from the back seat over, and held her in his arms.
The SUV also turned more than 270 degrees in the air during this process, and its left tire hit the ground more than ten meters away, bounced a few times, and collapsed in the wasteland on the side of the road.
Two seconds later, Luke pushed open the deformed rear door with all his strength, coughed twice in the dust, and climbed out carrying the dizzy Selina.
After putting her aside and making her stand, he leaned into the car again and said, "Everyone, don't move in a hurry. If anyone feels uncomfortable, it's best to get checked first."
Nick touched his body up and down for a while and shook his head: "I'm fine, no fractures." Then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Luke: "... Man, you're vomiting blood!"
Nick: "It's oral bleeding, probably from being hit by a tooth."
Luke nodded. Nick is a level 3 CSI and has a wealth of medical knowledge. He is also well versed in the structure of the human body, so he should be right.
Looking at Haggis again, the old man with a high hairline said with a serious expression: "Well, I think I don't need rescue yet." Then he pushed the door open and went down.
Xiao G also checked himself for a moment: "I'm fine too."
Henry: "Uh, I think I sprained my ankle."
Everyone: ... As expected, isn’t this the first time that I’ve had bad luck on my birthday
Everyone got off the car, and Nick and the other three had minor abrasions on their faces, but fortunately they were not serious.
Luke and Selina were fine, but received strange looks from the other four.
When the car flew up just now, Luke hugged Selina in his arms to protect her. This cannot be explained by a simple partnership, this is simply risking his life!
Luke certainly couldn't explain it either, because he had primary self-healing skills and this minor injury wasn't a big deal.
After standing for a few minutes, several painful areas on his body felt numb and itchy at first, but now the pain has completely disappeared. It is obvious that the primary self-healing has recovered from the injuries.
Everyone checked their phones and found there was no signal.
Xiao G tried the car again and found that it wouldn't start.
Luke's modified cell phone actually has a signal, and it's not difficult for Tony Stark to repair the car, but he vaguely feels that if he gets together with these four CSIs, he will encounter something interesting.
So he didn't say anything. If it was really urgent, he could call later!
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and Nick asked, "What should we do?"
Little G: "It's less than a mile from here to where Henry hides the pigs."
Nick suddenly laughed. Everyone looked at each other and finally laughed too: "Then let's continue on?"
Henry: “…but my foot is injured.”
Luke smiled and helped him up: "Come on, I'll give you a hand."
Twenty minutes later, the six people saw a country restaurant in the valley.
On the sign, a pink pig is standing there waving, and on both sides of the pig is the name of the restaurant, Henry's-hog-hideout.
This is definitely the place!
Everyone showed a look of joy, as if travelers in the desert saw an oasis, and even Henry quickened his pace.
After a while, everyone arrived in front of the restaurant, but their steps became heavier and heavier. Selina even felt like crying.
Because the restaurant’s door was locked and there was a prominent “notice-closed” notice posted next to the door!
This store has closed down.
Walking closer, Nick took down the closure notice and read, "Due to the outbreak of Hepatitis B, the Health Bureau notified this store to close on September 7, 2003."
Everyone: …
Haggis: "So this place has been closed for five months?"
Nick: "Greg, what disease did the friend I introduced you to here have?"
Little G: “… Hepatitis B.”
Everyone: …
Henry had a complicated expression on his face, and he put his arm around Little G's shoulder and patted him: "Thank you for giving me Hepatitis B as a birthday gift."
Little G: "You're welcome. Happy birthday."
When everyone was chatting awkwardly, there was suddenly a gunshot, followed by a loud bang, and then the sound of glass shattering.
Luke immediately pulled out his gun and gestured to Selina with his other hand.
Selina also quickly took out her gun, and the two of them began to gesture to the CSI people nearby.
Little G and Haggis helped Henry up and hid behind a nearby building. Nick also took out his gun and followed Luke and the others to the back of the house where the gunshots came from.
Luke was not moving fast, as his keen sense of smell was working.
After a moment, he frowned and more carefully expanded the range of his sensitive sense of smell.
However, there was no one behind the house.
Five minutes later, Nick came back and called Haggis and the other two: "This is a bit... strange. Let's go check it out."
When everyone got to the back of the house, they found a big hole in the glass. Obviously, this was where the noise came from.
Luke and the other man stood in front of the hole but did not go in.
Seeing everyone coming over, he said, "Well, we found a dead person."
Everyone followed his gaze into the hole and saw a black figure leaning against a counter inside the room, slumped on the ground.
Haggis: "Do I smell barbecue?"
Henry: "You're right, they look like they're cooked on the skin."
Everyone: … Barbie Q was supposed to be closed down a long time ago, but suddenly someone showed up and roasted a living person. What the hell is this
Luke's expression was completely calm. His premonition was right. When these four guys got together, something was bound to happen.
People came in one after another and checked the strange corpse.
What's weird is that the male corpse isn't just himself. A raccoon, which has also been burnt black, is lying on his face. The two are connected as one, like conjoined twins.
Luke and Selina didn't come forward. Nick squatted down and looked at the bodies of the man and the beast. "The deceased had a .38 revolver in his hand. There were no obvious injection wounds on the front of his body, and there were no obvious bloodstains around. Oh, did he have a grudge against this raccoon?"
Only when looking from the side could one see that the raccoon's tough snout had pierced into the man's right eye socket.
If nothing unexpected happened, this would be a fatal injury.
Nick: "Haggis, help him up, I need to check his back."
Haggis: "I'm not a medical examiner..."
Little G was the most decisive. He immediately stepped forward to help turn the man's body to its side. He looked at his back for a moment and said, "There are no obvious signs of trauma on his back. His upper body seems to be burnt. Is this raccoon also burnt?"
Haggis: "Raccoon, also known as the North American raccoon. It looks like a specimen. Well, I bet it weighed at least thirty pounds when it was alive."
Henry: "Maybe this raccoon will suddenly jump out and bite his face with its sharp teeth, just like a ninja in a cartoon, and kill him like that, you know?"
Everyone: “…”
