There's still time before we head into the mountains this afternoon. The people outside the mountainous area might know something. I want to give it another shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, have lunch at the temporary gathering point up ahead. We'll go pack our things first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parting ways with the group, Luo Fei arrived at the nearby survivor's base, where other rescued hikers were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, these ten people were supposed to be sent home immediately after rescue, but since none were seriously injured and they could identify teammates, they were temporarily kept here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a spur-of-the-moment decision; as long as they didn't cause trouble, they were allowed to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten people, a mix of men and women, mostly sat to the side in a daze, staring at their phones, eyes vacant and speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been in shock these past days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of a group of over thirty, they were the only ones rescued. There was no survivor's joy, just deep anxiety for their remaining friends, fearing they might encounter mishaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In group outings, mutual protection is a responsibility, an unspoken understanding among hikers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the separation and dispersion, they were rescued but still worried, their faces marked with anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, officer, I can help, take me with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A frantic voice came from nearby, followed by a young man who rushed over to stand beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy looks even younger than Luo Fei by a year or two, indeed very young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, I'm the one who warned you earlier. I've done the research; it's definitely credible. You must trust me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My surname is Qu, Qu Ruobo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My colleague mentioned you're also a police officer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm an apprentice officer, but not from Jiangzhou City. I'm taking advantage of the holiday to join fellow hikers on an adventure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the young man's chatter, Luo Fei got a rough sense and judgment of Qu Ruobo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man indeed had a talent in criminal investigation with good knowledge reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, he was quite advantageous compared to Liao Xingyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a pity that with limited worldly experience and being an apprentice officer, he was destined not to deal with truly complex cases, hence lacking practical experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Xiaoqu. We might encounter unusual situations in the upcoming investigation, so I'd like your assistance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ruobo was full of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, he had expressed his situation to Zhou Fan and the others multiple times, saying he could be useful, only to be repeatedly rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Luo Fei decided to employ him upon arrival, showing no distance or sense of hierarchy despite being colleagues and his senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Thank you, officer. How should I address you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My surname is Luo, Luo Fei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer Luo, thank you so much. I'll do my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the other's politeness, Luo Fei thought for a moment and added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's change the title. Since I'm asking for your help, it implies trust, and we're colleagues. Let's not use formal titles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should be a year or two older; just call me Fei-ge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Fei-ge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ruobo was full of excitement, finally having a chance to be of use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other hikers nearby were also influenced by Luo Fei's attitude, crowding around him, some pleading for him to find their teammates, others blaming themselves for the lost incident...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone calm down; any intel can be shared directly with me. Let's use this chance to understand the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll go back into the mountains this afternoon. Any clues or information about the missing hikers can be shared, and I'll take note.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, everyone started talking over each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on their leads, Luo Fei summarized the situation: Among the remaining twenty people, there were more women than men—thirteen women and seven men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three hikers who had already lost their lives were not disclosed, so the attendees were unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the seven men, two had considerable wilderness survival experience, with substantial individual skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One came from a sports school background, the other had been a bodyguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two, not only young but enthusiasts of adventure, made the group's safety relatively assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if the twenty had dispersed or split into groups, things might be different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the thirteen women, most were around twenty years old, driven by sheer bravery and love for adventure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the mountains, there's no signal, rendering phones useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they have four satellite phones designated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially intended as a precaution, these now posed a dilemma for the attendees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satellite phones typically don't malfunction and can contact the outside world without signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, despite thorough preparations, the police picked up no signal from within, proving the satellite phones might be damaged or lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chances were high their trackers were also damaged or missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I have a rough understanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any photos? Pictures from the hiking group, info registration, etc.?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl raised her hand, seriously speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When our hiking group collectively bought gear and logged information, we prepared ID photos. We submitted them to the police two days ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Luo Fei said no more, instead comforting them before leaving with Qu Ruobo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By two in the afternoon, everyone was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Luo, why are you bringing him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan spotted Qu Ruobo alongside Luo Fei and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the young man was all talk, despite being a policeman, he couldn't accomplish anything significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were careless climbing the mountains and lost him, it would be unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Old Zhou, let him follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry; it'll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan and the others had no choice but to trust Luo Fei, assigning two officers to follow as an additional precaution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering from the mountain outskirts, they saw some dilapidated small houses along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These buildings were left by the area's original inhabitants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As some people moved away later, the place became deserted, and outsiders seldom visited except to shelter from rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoqu, have you heard of the corpse hunter tales?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did some research before coming. It seems like primitive savages, but I don't buy it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei looked at him curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fei-ge, it doesn't fit modern survival rules. If there really were this kind of humans isolated from the outside, they'd leave survival to fate, and within years they'd die out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As savages, their reproduction would be challenging, especially deep in the forest. They'd need a large population for a sustainable community. Scattered numbers can't have survived to today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei suddenly felt a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right! He had overlooked this point, as had everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ruobo really was something.\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-05T23:15:13.406Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b43dffa0eb3cbb4c21b3f9ef13e39488a72d852050d66af29c26de89dd8b9fd","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-805","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-804",986,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-cover.jpg"]
