Chapter 2969: Green Trees Shade the Long Summer Days (Part 14)

However, listening to the voice, Schiller also recognized who it was. He shouted, "Pamela? Why are you here?"

"Isn't it you who asked me to come over, Professor?" Pamela's tone revealed confusion. She said, "You said that the largest forest around Cat Getan has the risk of catching fire, so I hurried over..."

"Even the grain business with the Luthor Group was put aside," Pamela added in her heart.

At this time, Schiller remembered that the location of this boarding high school was indeed not far from that forest, but he didn't expect that this school was actually built next to the forest.

Soon Pamela rushed over. She was still wearing pajamas, looking like she had hurried over as soon as she received the news. She gathered her red hair and said, "The weather is really too hot recently. The northeast corner of this forest has actually caught fire. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the local residents put it out in time. If it really burned, several towns around would be in trouble."

"Let's talk about this later," Schiller said. "Can you help me see if there were any buildings on this hillside before?"

Pamela actually didn't know why Schiller would ask this, but she still felt it carefully and said, "It seems someone once laid a foundation here, and left some concrete structures under the ground... Wait a minute, there are some traces of demolition, it seems the original building was demolished."

"Demolished?"

"Yes, you can see the traces of the structure being destroyed."

"Can you tell when it was demolished?"

"The specific time is difficult, but it should have been some years ago, not recently." Pamela circled around the vicinity a few times, and then said, "Ah, there is a name here... Wait a minute, let me flip through it."

Schiller saw the mud on the surface flip, and soon the roots of unknown plants flipped out a piece of fabric fragment from underground.

Schiller walked over, picked up the cloth piece with the tip of his umbrella, turned it over, and found that a small part of it was made of luminous material. Combined with the color of this fabric, it should be part of a safety vest.

The names of the engineering teams would be written on such safety vests worn by engineering teams. Schiller found a line of small characters at the end of the fabric—"Wardraid Construction Engineering Team."

Pamela seemed to be still concentrating on flipping underground, when suddenly her face changed, and Schiller also felt it and looked up at her.

A vine slowly stretched out from the ground and stopped in front of Schiller. The tip of the vine opened, and Schiller saw a phalanx bone lying quietly on the green tender leaves.

"Really unlucky, the degree of annoyance of Earthlings has risen again in my heart," Rocket Raccoon sighed, wiping his half-dry fur with a towel. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with being disturbed by Williams' team and ruining his fun.

"Alright, they have also learned their lesson, there is no need to continue to haggle with such idiots," Star-Lord flipped the meat skewers and said, "Don't forget what we came here for."

"To be honest, I don't think there will be any changes in this universe. The degree of stupidity of other races should be about the same," Gamora put away her fishing rod and stomped her feet, saying.

Just as they were preparing to have a barbecue, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the road next to them. Star-Lord turned his head and saw a large truck driving with the momentum of a racing car.

Rocket Raccoon also covered his ears. His hearing was much more sensitive than humans. Watching this truck drive into the construction site next to it, Rocket Raccoon sighed and said, "I don't think Dr. Schiller can tolerate this. It's right that he didn't come back."

"This noise is definitely over the standard," Star-Lord said. "I'll go report them to the city government tomorrow. If no one cares, then only we can care."

"Wait," Nebula suddenly raised her head. She scanned the circle, and after attracting everyone's attention, she said, "There is a smell of blood."

The others stood up with a swoosh, making a defensive posture. Nebula sniffed her nose again and said, "That's right, the smell of human blood, I remember it very clearly."

Star-Lord looked at Rocket Raccoon. Rocket Raccoon narrowed his eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me? I'm a raccoon, not a dog!"

"You didn't admit you were a raccoon before."

"That's because I really didn't know that I looked exactly the same as the raccoons on Earth. I think this is definitely not a coincidence. It's best not to let me know which mad scientist came out of Earth..."

"Is now the time to discuss this?" Gamora took out her weapon and said, "To be smelled by Nebula, it definitely isn't small-scale bleeding. This isn't a battlefield. If someone bled so much, something must have happened."

"Over there," Nebula raised her chin and pointed in a direction. Everyone followed her movement and looked over. It was exactly Williams' construction site.

"Damn it, no one was really crushed by a tractor, right?" Rocket Raccoon cursed, but still ran toward that side quickly. The other few people followed behind him.

But when they arrived near the construction site, they didn't hear any movement. Logically speaking, if someone was injured, it should be very noisy inside. But even with Rocket Raccoon's hearing, he didn't hear any commotion.

"Something's wrong," Star-Lord took a deep breath and said. "This guy's secrets are probably much more than we imagined."

"How about this, rush in?"

"No," Star-Lord hadn't been that reckless guy for a long time. He said, "If we rush in, that's illegal trespassing. If we don't catch their handle, we're going to jail."

"Then rush out from the police station," Drax said.

"It's best if you can rush out," Rocket Raccoon said very impolitely to him. "Don't you know Batman?"

"That's right, the Guardians of the Galaxy were so cautious because they had suffered Batman's loss in the last Battleworld. Cat Getan and Batman are bound together. If you dare to make trouble here, that pointed ear will rush out at any time and throw them into the sun."

Drax had nothing to say. Although Batman was an ordinary person, he was outrageously strong. The brains of these few people in the Guardians of the Galaxy added up to less than one of his brain cells. Even if they could occupy the upper hand in the first few rounds by force, they would eventually be pinched to death.

But the advantage of the Guardians of the Galaxy was that they could bend and stretch, and were very good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder. Not making trouble on other people's territory was basic etiquette. On Batman's territory, they were civilized models.

"Someone is coming this way," Helen suddenly said. "The ordinary workers here shouldn't have seen me. I'll trick them to the other side, and you take the opportunity to slip in."

Star-Lord nodded, and everyone took out their weapons.

Helen rushed out and began to cry loudly. Sure enough, the workers guarding the gate didn't know where this little girl came from at all, and thought it was a child from a nearby resident who couldn't find her home, so they hurriedly walked over to ask her.

Because Drax was too big, he was left outside. Star-Lord, Gamora, and Nebula were all experts at sneaking in, and they slipped into the construction site quickly.

Several people moved quietly along the wall, but soon they were blocked. The wall Star-Lord had created now blocked them instead.

Williams was very smart. He dug a tunnel in a few hours. Although this wall was strong, it couldn't reach the center of the earth. It only extended one or two meters underground. So many engineering machines were not for nothing, and soon they bypassed this wall from underground.

But now there was only one opening dug out, and there were people everywhere. Star-Lord and the others couldn't get through, but if they climbed over the wall, it would be too conspicuous, and the infiltration plan would be considered a complete failure.

Nebula could pass through the wall, but Star-Lord and Gamora couldn't, so the two of them stayed at the foot of the wall, and Nebula went over alone.

Soon Gamora's communicator received Nebula's message. Nebula asked the two of them to make some noise outside. Star-Lord picked up a stone from the side and hit the buttocks of a person wearing a white hat with a swoosh.

Accompanied by a scream, the crowd began to disperse, and there was a commotion outside. Star-Lord and the others led the crowd, circled around the outside of the wall, and found another opportunity to run out.

After about ten minutes, Nebula came out. She brought a series of photos.

Several people gathered together to look at Nebula's communicator. On it were several workers wearing safety vests carrying several large boxes. In the background of the photo, they could see a large pit behind them.

"Are they burying some treasure?" Star-Lord didn't understand it a bit.

Nebula pointed to a place in the photo, and Star-Lord immediately widened his eyes, "That box is bleeding."

"Are you kidding?!" Rocket Raccoon's furry face leaned over and said, "They aren't dumping corpses, are they?!"

"Probably," Gamora looked at Nebula and said, "They might have hidden the corpses in the truck just now, secretly transported them to the center of the construction site and buried them."

"It doesn't make sense," Star-Lord shook his head and said. "They want to build a house here, but they bury corpses underground. Aren't they afraid of being discovered?"

"Maybe it won't be discovered this way," Gamora thought for a while and said, "Burying them in an ordinary forest might be dug up, but if they are buried here and covered with a foundation, then no one will ever dig them up."

Several people were silent for a while. Helen opened her mouth and said, "This might be a serial murder case. I think we'd better not get involved."

Star-Lord looked at her somewhat surprised. Helen had a close relationship with the Avengers, and was deeply influenced by superheroes. Before, when the Guardians of the Galaxy were active, she would suggest everyone save people. Why did she retreat this time?

Helen seemed to see his thoughts and said, "Cat Getan's affairs will never be that simple. One corpse might involve several shocking cases. It's not that I don't want to uphold justice, it's just that I think you don't have the brains to investigate."

"That's a bit too harsh," Rocket Raccoon said with some dissatisfaction, shaking his ears. "Although we can't compare to Batman, we aren't that stupid, right?"

"Far below Cat Getan's average intelligence level," Helen said truthfully.

"Impossible, we have improved a lot," Star-Lord said. "We haven't been that reckless team for a long time."

"Before the improvement, you belonged to Cat Getan's amoebas. After the improvement, you are Cat Getan's idiots," Helen still hit the nail on the head.

"I think we can't sit idly by," Gamora said. "This case happened around Schiller's house. If we don't do anything, they might become more and more outrageous, thereby endangering this Professor, which might cause a chain reaction."

"I think Helen is right," Nebula rarely spoke, but often made the final decision. "Their transportation process is designed very strictly, and no one is left alone. This matter is not simple."

Although Nebula rarely spoke, she often hit the nail on the head. At this time, Helen suddenly proposed another possibility.

"Let's go find the other few idlers," she looked at the direction of Schiller's house and said, "Dick and Jason aren't good detectives, but they are definitely better than you. More importantly, Aisha is Batman's daughter, she must be a good detective."

About an hour later, everyone gathered in Schiller's living room. Dick and Jason looked at the photos Nebula took together. Their ability to read pictures was clearly much higher than these people.

Dick keenly discovered that the safety vest worn by the porter dressed as a worker in the photo had the name of this construction team written under it—"Wardraid Construction Engineering Team." ===== CHAPTER 2970 =====
