Chapter 358 - 63_7
Run Sheng asked, "Could there be wild animals around here?"
Xue Liangliang shook his head, "Team Leader Ma specifically inquired locals beforehand, and there are no signs of wild animals in the vicinity. Besides, even if it were wild beasts, they couldn’t just carry off three grown men at once. Even if the animal decided to eat them on the spot, it would leave behind a lot of traces."
At that moment, lights flickered in Morse code from afar.
Xue Liangliang waved his hand, "Let’s go over there and check it out."
Nearby squads gathered towards the source of the light signals.
Upon arriving, beneath a large boulder, everyone found a hat and a climbing stick broken into two pieces, confirmed to belong to the missing team members.
Holding a flashlight, Xue Liangliang carefully examined the ground, then he lay on his side into the boulder, placing his climbing stick horizontally, wedging it between the ground and the edge of the rock.
He immediately shouted, "Look over there for any traces, search carefully."
"Here! Found something, there’s a white scratch."
After Xue Liangliang had confirmed the finding, he squatted down again, directing the flashlight onto a small stone on the ground and even picked up several, smelling both sides of them.
"Keep looking forward to see if there are flipped stones on the ground, pay attention to the change in color depth and the intensity of the stench."
