Inside the cave, there were hundreds of people densely packed together.
Men and women, old and young, most of them were dark-skinned aborigines. They all looked at the rescue team members standing at the entrance of the cave in horror.
Among these tribal aborigines, several people with completely different clothes and skin color were particularly eye-catching.
Yue Heng stepped forward and said in English, "We're the Shenzhou rescue team. You're safe."
Before his voice died away, there was an uproar in the cave.
The tribal aborigines were so excited that they screamed, mixed with cheers and joy such as "Thank God".
Yue Heng asked the team members to make space for the people in the cave to come out.
The cave was not big. Because too many people crowded in, the air inside was extremely turbid.
The rescued aborigines swarmed out.
"Mom!"
The little girl who had brought Yue Heng and the others here rushed to a middle-aged aboriginal woman.
The latter hugged her tightly with tears streaming down her face and caressed her daughter incoherently.
There were two other children around them. They should be a family.
Yue Heng felt very gratified at this scene.
He originally thought that the little girl's parents were probably dead. He did not expect that her mother and siblings survived.
"Comrade."
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came to Yue Heng and said gratefully, "Thank you for risking your life to save us."
Yue Heng shook hands with him. "You're Dr. Yang Bin, right?"
There were a total of nine members in the international volunteer medical team, three of whom were from Shenzhou.
According to the previous information, Yue Heng guessed the other party's identity.
"Yes."
Yang Bin hurriedly explained, "This is my colleague Cheng Xiaoyun, and this is Dr. Gustav from Finland …"
He introduced seven members of the medical team to Yue Heng in one breath.
These rescued volunteers all gathered around and shook hands with Yue Heng to thank him.
Last night's experience was too exciting for them. Everyone thought that they were doomed, but they did not expect to be rescued.
They were naturally very grateful to Yue Heng and the others who came to rescue them.
Yue Heng realized that something was wrong. "Why is there one person missing?"
"I was just about to talk about that."
Yang Bin said, "We have another colleague named Chu Zhihao. He went to another village yesterday morning and then we lost contact with him."
Yue Heng asked, "Didn't he bring a satellite phone?"
The communication here was very backward. Apart from the city where mobile phones could be used normally, other places could only use satellite phones to contact the outside world.
"We only have one satellite phone."
Yang Bin smiled bitterly. "I lost it last night."
The middle-aged doctor gritted his teeth and pleaded, "Comrade, Dr. Chu Zhihao is only twenty-five years old this year. He is the only son in his family. Please help me find him!"
Yang Bin knew that his request was very difficult.
There was still no news of Chu Zhihao. Something must have happened to him.
The current situation was so chaotic and dangerous. It took all of his courage to ask Yue Heng and the others to risk their lives to search for another missing person.
"My name is Yue Heng."
Yue Heng said in a low voice, "How far is the village that Dr. Chu Zhihao went to from here?"
Yang Bin immediately perked up. "About forty to fifty kilometers."
"How about this?"
Yue Heng made a prompt decision. "I will go find him."
The rescue team member next to him was stunned. "Captain, you are going alone?"
"Yes."
Yue Heng replied. "You guys escort me to the Vanala mine. Take everyone with you. Whether we find Dr. Chu Zhihao or not, I will come back to meet you guys."
Yang Bin was stunned. "That, that is too dangerous."
He saw with his own eyes how fierce the beasts that broke into the tribal village were last night.
He also knew that the country was now in an unprecedented disaster.
Yue Heng actually wanted to leave the team and go find Chu Zhihao alone. He was simply courting death!
Yue Heng had no intention to explain. "It's decided."
Yue Heng was the captain of the rescue team, and he was the strongest. The team members naturally obeyed his orders.
Although Yang Bin and the others found it hard to believe, they had no right to say anything.
They could only follow Yue Heng's arrangements.
Yue Heng had the eight volunteer doctors board the IFVs first. Then, the three IFVs and the special forces would escort the survivors of the Sassang tribe to the Vanala mine.
Although the return journey would be very slow with a few hundred more people, leaving these people here was likely to be greeted with death.
But to their surprise, many of the survivors of the Sassang tribe were unwilling to leave.
Because this was their home, and also their roots.
Most of the people who didn't want to leave were the elderly.
Yue Heng didn't force them. He would take those who wanted to leave with him, and leave those who didn't want to leave to fend for themselves.
As long as he fulfilled his duty and didn't betray his conscience, that would be enough.
After making the arrangements, Yue Heng left the team and went to the village that Yang Bin mentioned by himself.
When he was out of sight, he took out the big G from his inventory.
Then, Yue Heng consumed a lot of mental power to activate his biological sub-brain to connect to the satellite network. He retrieved the satellite map of his area and locked onto the coordinates of the village.
Then, he turned on the satellite navigation system in the car and headed to his destination.
With the help of the off-road vehicle, it only took Yue Heng half an hour to reach the village called "Nitu".
This was a small village with only a hundred people. It was located next to a river and surrounded by rolling mountains. It maintained a very primitive natural scenery.
However, when Yue Heng arrived at Nitu, he found that the village had been razed to the ground!
The whole village seemed to have been hit by a hurricane. All the houses had collapsed, and mutilated corpses could be seen everywhere in the ruins. It looked even worse than the Sassang tribe.
Yue Heng put away the big G and searched the village.
He didn't find any survivors.
If it were anyone else, they would have to give up at this point.
But Yue Heng still used the Tracking skill and searched the periphery of the village again.
As a result, he found something!
Stopping, Yue Heng looked at the rolling mountains in front of him.
The clues he just found pointed to the mountains covered by the primitive forest!
Although it was still unknown whether Chu Zhihao was still alive, Yue Heng did not hesitate. He immediately followed the remaining traces and headed towards the mountain.
He continued to quicken his pace and his speed became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, he was running.
After only half an hour, Yue Heng climbed over a mountain.
At this time, he had sneaked into the dense primitive forest alone and was still far away from the suspected target.
