Sinan said: “Indeed, only this one sample exists. Perhaps there are paper documents at the White Eagle base, but they were likely destroyed when the virus broke out.”
Tang Hao’s heartbeat skipped a beat, and his face turned ugly: “What if it gets lost accidentally? I mean, you just said someone deliberately led you here, which means there might be another group in this canyon. What if they get the antibody first…”
“That would be troublesome,” Sinan said flatly. “So we need to hurry.”
Tang Hao coughed after a long while: “Right, I thought so too.”
Sinan studied him for a few seconds, saying nothing. Tang Hao stood up: “I want to go down and check. If those people came through the waterway, they might have left clues.”
“No need to look.”
“Hm?”
“There,” Sinan pointed.
Amid the bushes below the cliff, something black was hanging obscurely.
Tang Hao froze, then immediately ran. They almost rolled down the steep, smooth cliff. The riverbank was full of smooth pebbles, with wild grass and bushes growing madly on the steep slope. Tang Hao crawled up first and saw a long black cloth tied to the end of a dead branch!
“It’s our T-shirt!” Tang Hao yanked down the cloth strip and handed it to Sinan, quickly removing his camouflage jacket and pulling out the black T-shirt collar: “Look! This is it! They must have torn it off and tied it here as a marker. There must be more nearby…”
Sinan immediately refused: “No, talk properly and don’t take off your clothes.”
Tang Hao hastily buttoned his jacket, scrambling down the slope and rushing forward, easily finding more traces: “Come quick! There’s blood here!”
Sinan followed, and about twenty steps away, there were obvious dried blood marks on the rock base and ground. Following the splattered direction, they found new blood drops approximately every few steps, suggesting Spring Grass and the others were already seriously injured during their escape.
They fired shots,” Sinan crouched down, feeling out a metal shell casing from under the grass roots, and looked up: “They encountered zombies here.”
Tang Hao’s expression changed: “Look, what’s that?”
Here is the edited article:
The riverbank suddenly rose upward, with a cave opening on the cliff face not far away, about three to four meters high, barely accessible by climbing the protruding rocks.
