Chapter 641

The fire was not very obvious at the beginning, but it soon turned into a fierce flame, and black smoke rose. Although it was half a lake away, it was still clear. If it wasn't for the terrain you chose, you knew that the fire would not spread there. I was really worried that the fire would devour the whole mountain forest.

The frightened birds flew up one after another, as if a large number of hunters had broken into their territory, and as if they were passing the news of the fire.

"Why did they light the fire in advance?" situ asked, frowning at the distance.

Su Huilan thought it was nothing, and said, "maybe if we don't go back for so long and are worried about an accident, we should light the fire first. Anyway, if we want to burn it first, we can burn it first, and we can deal with Ronald Cohen's body after we find it."

Aoki thought something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. Think about it. Let Mrs. Larry and Alice guard hundreds of dead bodies, and no one should be angry if they haven't heard from them for so long. The body will burn anyway. It's nothing to burn it first.

But what's wrong?

Seeing situ's dignified face, he seemed to have doubts. He said, "first pick up the lady and Alice, and then slowly find out the whereabouts of petru and Ivan. We shouldn't separate now."

Situ nodded and said, "that's the only way."

They rowed ashore together, and Mrs. Larry and Alice were already waiting on the shore. Neither of them looked very good, but they were not exactly the same. Mrs. Larry looked tired and pale as if she were ill; Alice looked frightened, as if she had been frightened, and her face was still flushed with nervous and accelerated heartbeat.

"Are you all right?" situ asked.

"Madam is a little sick. Is she ill?" said Alice anxiously.

"Wasn't it all right just now?" Su Huilan went to help her hold Mrs. Larry. "Why did it happen all of a sudden?"

Alice said, "I don't know. Not long after you left, my wife said she was very dizzy. I gave her water, but she didn't get better. There were so many dead people in front of her. Although there was sun in the sky, there was no sunshine. Everything was gloomy. I was afraid!"

Dewar came and grabbed Mrs. Larry's wrist and said, "let me see."

Aoki knew that Dewar's medical skills were excellent. The medicine woman was just casually instructed by her, and she could be regarded as a life-saving Bodhisattva by the Mendian people. Unfortunately, she went astray.

"It's all right. I'm just a little dizzy," said Mrs. Larry weakly.

Dewar frowned and said, "maybe we haven't had enough rest recently. We can't distinguish between day and night. It's time to have a good rest."

She suddenly grabbed Alice's hand again and said, "come on, I'll show you too."

Alice was startled and instinctively retracted, but Dewar held on tight. She didn't break free, so she obediently let Dewar give her a pulse.

Dewar's brows grew tighter and tighter. She asked, "who lit the fire above?"

"It's me," said Alice. "I was scared just now. You weren't there and my wife was uncomfortable. I wanted to look at so many dead people. When I was afraid, I... Lit a fire..."

Dewar nodded: "you're right. It's time to burn. It should have been burned just now."

Alice asked, "isn't there someone else?"

"I didn't find it," Dewar said

She still held Alice's pulse, but her eyes stared at Alice's face without blinking. Alice was flustered and asked, "what's the matter with me? Am I okay?"

"You're all right." Dewar finally let go of his hand. "You're too tired and need a good rest."

Aoki always felt that Dewar didn't say anything.

The fire is still burning. Although it's all dry firewood and corpses, it's easy to burn, but it takes a long time to burn so many. Situ said, "green wood, let's go up and see how it's burning. If there's not enough wood, add some more."

Aoki said, "OK."

Dewar said, "I'll go too."

The three men went up the hillside and came to the crematorium inside. The flame is still burning fiercely, emitting red, yellow and blue interlaced light. There is a crackling sound in the roaring sound. The exploded sparks fly around in the air, and the black smoke and dust gather above the flame. The more they go up, the more they are, like volcanic clouds.

The fire was not extinguished for the time being. Aoki and situ no longer looked at the fire, but at dewar. The light of the fire flashed on her face.

"Mrs. Larry is fine physically, but she is traumatized mentally," Dewar said

Aoki was surprised and asked; "What kind of trauma?"

"I don't know." Dewar was silent for a moment. "She seemed to be hypnotized, but she resisted. You should understand the possible consequences."

"Alice?" Aoki and situ said at the same time.

Dewar shook his head: "I thought so at first, but Alice doesn't have such ability. If her spirit is strong enough to hide from me, Mrs. Larry should have no chance to resist."

That's strange.

The three men looked at the fire at the same time. The flame was still fierce, and the light stabbed people's eyes. They stood for a long time until Su Huilan came and called them:

"Don't always make people worry, will you?"

The three returned to the lake. After a discussion, we decided to go to the big ship. There are boats and rafts, none less. Ivan and petru should still be on the big ship. They must be found, as well as the body of Ronald Cohen.

Back on the swordfish, Dewar stayed on deck with Alice and Mrs. Larry. Aoki, situ and Su Huilan went down again, but they still got nothing.

Of course, the swordfish is very big. It only depends on torch lighting, but it can't last long. It can't find every corner. They returned to the deck, rested for a while, and then replaced the new torch and continued to descend. So repeated several times, but never found the trace of petru and Ivan.

For a long time, they slept and ate on the boat, took turns cutting firewood on the shore and fishing in the lake.

While cutting firewood, Aoki took a look at the crematorium. It has become scorched earth and a large number of embers are shocking. But this piece of charred black is very strange. It is reasonable to say that the bones of the human body are white after burning. How can calcium burn into carbon? Calcium oxide should be very conspicuous in the charcoal ash, but what about the more than 300 corpses?

He looked for a long time and found no trace of the bones. He remembered that when the fire had just started, the birds in the forest had been startled all the way, as if someone had driven them away in the jungle. The fire was not very big at that time.

Ronald Cohen is gone, and now the bodies of hundreds of soldiers who were mummified with him seem to have disappeared after cremation.

Of course, the matter of the dead is not the most important. The life of the living can't be ignored. They didn't give up looking for petru and Ivan. They looked in the cabin several times, sometimes in the nearby woods, but they still disappeared, as if they had disappeared with the dead.

During a break, Alice asked, "how long have we been like this?"

It was too long for Mrs. Larry to infer by her accurate biological clock, so everyone had to look at situ.

"Twenty one seconds."

Situ stood on the deck with his hands on his back and looked up at the sky as if looking for something in the starry sky.
