Chapter 844: Xiao Bai in the Grass
At the edge of the wilderness, a dozen people stood quietly behind a man and a woman. One person lay on the ground listening for a while, then suddenly got up, looking uncertain as he said, “It seems they’re inside, but it’s too far for me to be sure…”
“No, they definitely went inside,” the Youth said with certainty.
His gaze was dark as he looked into the wilderness, and he murmured, “We’ve wasted so much time, and haven’t found any trace of them, not even a corpse. As for them… they stalled for time to escape here, didn’t they? Otherwise, running along the main road wouldn’t leave them any chance of success, and they might even encounter a new Support Team… Now they’ve successfully delayed us, so they’re certainly inside.”
The reasoning was frustrating, and as the Youth analyzed, he couldn’t help but get angry. He clenched his fist, producing a “click” that everyone around could hear clearly.
At this moment, the only person daring to speak was Kaili. The woman let out a light laugh and said with interest, “We’ve seen plenty of corpses, but they’re all long-dead skeletons… The thought that he could still be alive, even in such a condition, makes me…” She licked her lips and lowered her voice, “It makes me a little excited…”
She raised her hand and slowly ran it down from her chin, her fingertips lightly touching her neck, before stopping at her chest. Judging by her heaving chest, even her breathing seemed a bit labored, and along with her half-closed eyes, her whole demeanor was somewhat unsettling.
Several people in the crowd averted their gaze, and those closest to her even took a few steps back.
“I’ll keep a close eye on him…” Kaili said, looking excited.
The Youth didn’t look at her and instead turned his head to say, “Groups of three, the whole Squad will search forward in a fan shape. They’re carrying burdens, so they can’t match us in stamina. However, even if you discover them, do not act rashly! Immediately send a signal! In addition, all Teams must maintain a distance where they can support each other, understood?”
