If they could not retreat, they could only move forward.
Ren Xiaosu, Xu Xianchu, and Yang Xiaojin seemed to be the most interested in the secret of the Jing Mountains. However, Luo Xinyu, Liu Bu, and Wang Lei were different. They only hoped to meet up with the people from the Kyung Clan as soon as possible!
Regardless of the secret, there was hope where there were people!
They had seen the Kyung Clan Consortium's combat brigade in Stronghold 113 before, and they were definitely not something the private troops could compare to. Therefore, Liu Bu and the others felt that they would be safe as long as they found the Kyung Clan Consortium.
Moreover, be it Luo Xinyu or Liu Bu, they were both related to the Kyung Clan Consortium. Although they were not particularly familiar with each other, they had met Boss Luo from Stronghold 113 a few times before.
So if they reported Boss Luo's name and their identities, wouldn't they be able to return to the world of "human civilization" immediately?
To them, this wilderness was a world of wild beasts.
Furthermore, they had almost encountered the mysterious monster in the forest last night, so they wanted to take advantage of the daylight to leave this place as soon as possible.
Out of concern for the monster, Ren Xiaosu tried his best to choose the bare ridges and valleys instead of the forest when choosing their path.
Who the hell knew if that thing was active during the day? It wasn't like it told them that it didn't go out during the day! What if it just liked to stay up late in the past and was not afraid of the day? What if its daily routine was reversed today?
Who could say for sure?!
The cave they were in was about a few dozen kilometers away from where the explosion had sounded in the Jing Mountains. If they hurried, they could definitely reach there by the evening.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu was also afraid of any accidents. He discussed with Xu Xianchu and Yang Xiaojin, "We can't just consider the straight distance in the mountains. The mountain paths are winding, so it's very likely that we'll have to walk for several days to reach the dozens of kilometers that we estimated."
"What do you mean?" Xu Xianchu asked curiously.
"If we can't reach there by today, then don't take the risk of traveling through the night." Ren Xiaosu said firmly, "Even if y 'all want to travel through the night, I'll find a place by myself and wait until dawn."
Xu Xianchu thought about it and said, "I agree, we won't travel overnight."
Xu Xianchu and Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiaojin. Yang Xiaojin said, "I agree."
"I hope it won't be so hard," Ren Xiaosu said.
It was unknown where Luo Xinyu and Liu Bu found the strength to advance today. They had just popped the blisters on their feet last night, so the soles of their feet were probably going to rot if they continued walking at this intensity today.
Seeing this, Ren Xiaosu teased them and told them to take a rest today. However, Liu Buyi said that he was fine.
It could be seen that due to their desire to survive, Liu Bu and the other two normal people had already unleashed their greatest potential.
Suddenly, Xu Xianchu said, "There's a human corpse up ahead."
Ren Xiaosu looked up and was surprised to see a human corpse lying quietly at the bottom of the valley. But to his surprise, there were torn clothes scattered around the human skeleton, and the blood had dried into a dark purple color on the rocky ground.
Ren Xiaosu said in surprise, "There's flesh and blood, and it hasn't decayed yet. This is a corpse that hasn't been dead for long!"
Wait a minute, why would a recently dead human corpse suddenly appear here? "Could it be someone from the Kyung Clan Consortium?"
"No." Xu Xianchu shook his head. "Look at his clothes. That's the private army's combat uniform. The private army's uniform is dark blue, while the Kyung Clan Consortium's uniform is black."
"The private army? Which private army? Do the private troops of Stronghold 112 also wear uniforms like that? "Ren Xiaosu wondered.
They cautiously approached the corpse, and an ominous feeling arose in their hearts. At this moment, Xu Xianchu saw a small nameplate that was supposed to be hung around a corpse's neck. This way, everyone would know who the corpse belonged to after it was killed.
But when he picked up the nameplate, he was stunned. "Xu Xia? How could this be Xu Xia? "
Ren Xiaosu's heart turned cold. "Are you sure it's Xu Xia?"
"Look, there's no mistaking this nameplate," Xu Xianchu said. As he spoke, he kept his assault rifle raised in fear that something terrifying would rush out from the side.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the nameplate. "It really is Xu Xia. Why is his corpse here?"
Xu Xia's corpse had already been lost before they entered the canyon. They had traveled at least a hundred kilometers in the past two days, so how could Xu Xia's corpse have gotten here by itself?
What could have brought Xu Xia's corpse here?!
When Yang Xiaojin and Xu Xianchu started raising their guns to guard the area, Ren Xiaosu squatted down to examine the corpse. Luo Xinyu and Liu Bu had already vomited. After vomiting for a long time, Luo Xinyu asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Ren Xiaosu's expression did not change at all. "I've seen uglier things than this …. No, there's something wrong with the wounds on this corpse. That monster ate his internal organs, but look at the wound at the edge of his abdomen. What kind of wild beast can bite out such a neat wound? I've never seen a wild beast with teeth like this before. "
When they heard Ren Xiaosu say that, even Yang Xiaojin and Xu Xianchu could not help but look over. They knew very well how much Ren Xiaosu knew about the wilderness. If Ren Xiaosu said he had never seen it before, then it really was not an ordinary wild beast.
But when Xu Xianchu took a closer look, he immediately frowned. "Fuck, these are fucking teeth marks from a human!"
It seemed that Xu Xianchu was even swearing because of some deep fear. It wasn't only Xu Xianchu, but even Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin felt a chill run down their spines. Ren Xiaosu looked up and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure." Xu Xianchu said, "My first love bit me on the arm when I broke up with her when I was still in school."
Ren Xiaosu snapped, "I was fucking scared to death. Why are you telling us this?"
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu was really scared right now!
Xu Xianchu was also feeling a little scared. "Why are there human teeth marks on the corpse?"
"Do you guys think …" Ren Xiaosu asked, "that the thing dragging the chains last night … could have been a human?"
"Let's hurry up and get out of here." Yang Xiaojin said, "Let's form a three-man tactical formation in case something ambushes us! If that thing can silently carry the corpses away, it can also approach us without us noticing! "
Ren Xiaosu said nervously, "… What's a tactical formation?"
He was not trying to be funny. He really did not know!
"You'll walk on my left!" Yang Xiaojin did not explain too much. "Everyone will manage their own fan-shaped field of vision. If any strange creatures approach, just shoot them."
Suddenly, Yang Xiaojin took over command as if it was only natural, while Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu did not say anything.
At this moment, everyone understood that they were walking on a tightrope. If they were not careful, they could be doomed eternally.
Everyone wanted to survive, and Ren Xiaosu especially wanted to.
