Looking at the various expressions on everyone's faces,

Li Yuan slowly said, "This is why the employer asked me to come."

"Damn it!"

Dan cursed and then said emotionally:

"But nobody told me there would be monsters underground!"

Li Yuan looked at him calmly and said with a smile, "You just need to use your professional skills."

"As for monsters, listen to me and you'll be safe."

"Stop spreading alarmist rumors. How could there possibly be monsters?"

Sheriff Vince angrily rebuked Li Yuan, as he was very worried that what Li Yuan said was true.

He was afraid that something might happen to the congressman's niece.

That would eliminate his chance to make a contribution.

Li Yuan ignored Sheriff Vince and addressed the crowd:

"So I repeat, don't shout, try to move forward in silence."

Don't run away recklessly, or don't blame me for abandoning you.

Given the threat of monsters

The others clearly took Li Yuan's reminder more seriously.

On the rest of the journey, no one spoke unless absolutely necessary.

At this moment, a fork in the road appeared in front of them.

Dan instinctively ordered, "Cathy, come here..."

But when he looked at Cathy, who was holding the DV camera,

He could only frown and glare at Li Yuan.

He then personally took the acoustic detector and began to investigate the two cave entrances.

After carefully examining it for a moment, Dan nodded in confirmation:

"Let's go to the right; there seems to be some movement here."

Upon hearing this, everyone followed Dan into the cave.

The dripping sound of water echoed in the empty cave.

In the dimly lit environment, only the light from the headlamp could provide a meager illumination.

If people want to see the road ahead clearly, they have to strain their eyes to see it clearly.

But the next second, a mangled woman's corpse appeared.

Yet it appeared before everyone, covered in blood!

"My God..."

Dan, who was walking at the front, couldn't help but exclaim.

Behind him, the experienced and knowledgeable senior sheriff Vince instinctively covered his mouth, his eyes filled with shock.

Cathy, who was holding the DV camera, vomited with a "whoosh," and Sarah, who was already nervous, also started to gag.

Rios quickly helped Sarah up, while Craig patted Cathy on the back.

They comforted the two who were emotionally distraught.

Squad Leader Vince fought back his nausea and examined the woman's mangled body.

"She was tortured to death."

Sheriff Vince stared at Sarah, his eyes fierce as he questioned her:

"Six girls, but you're the only one who came out covered in your companions' blood. Tell me, what happened!"

"You don't think she did it, do you?"

Li Yuan suddenly interrupted coldly from the side:

"Ordinary people wouldn't be able to eat their ribs and internal organs so cleanly."

"Monster...there's a monster down there..."

Sarah, who had been frightened, finally came to her senses and spoke.

Li Yuan looked at Sarah curiously and asked, "You finally remembered?"

Sarah nodded at Li Yuan, her body trembling slightly involuntarily, as if recalling some terrifying scene.

"We shouldn't have come here... There are man-eating monsters here... We were attacked by monsters..."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, and Sarah's words completely confirmed Li Yuan's warning.

There really are monsters here!

Li Yuan patted Sarah's slightly nervous face and said seriously:

"Hey Sarah, listen to me, please help me find Juno, she might still be alive."

"Juno..."

Sarah clutched her head in anguish as she called out her friend's name.

"No! She's dead!"

Upon hearing Sarah's words, everyone's expressions were as if they had been struck by lightning.

The ultimate goal of this rescue mission is Juneau; everyone else is unimportant.

If Juno really dies, then there's no point in continuing.

"What did you say! You're lying!"

Sheriff Vince loudly questioned Sarah, and he was the one in the worst mood.

With tears streaming down her face and her shoulders trembling, Sarah uttered the last thing anyone wanted to hear.

"It's true... Waaaaah... I watched with my own eyes as she was eaten by a monster..."

"In that case, let's get out of this awful place."

Dan sighed and said that he was the least concerned.

Because he would receive money regardless of whether the rescue was successful or not.

"No!"

Li Yuan and Sheriff Vince unanimously rejected Dan's suggestion.

Li Yuan frowned, his tone firm, while Sheriff Vince's face flushed red, his expression stubborn with a hint of despair.

"I need to be seen alive."

Sheriff Vince glanced at the body on the ground and muttered, "I need to see the body."

"That's right."

Li Yuan nodded in affirmation, and staring intently into Sarah's eyes, he said seriously:

"Maybe she's still alive."

Seeing that the two insisted, Dan glanced at the cave behind the corpse and said helplessly:

"It looks like she came from here. Let's go this way."

No one objected, and they all climbed into the narrow tunnel one by one.

Perhaps because she had been comforted by Li Yuan, Sarah did not struggle to escape this time, but instead gave a low, thoughtful reminder:

"Mr. Li is right. It's best if everyone keeps quiet. Those monsters have very sensitive hearing."

Sometimes, when faced with danger, even if well-meaning people warn them, some people simply don't care.

Just like Li Yuan had told us before, don't speak loudly.

Kodan and Vince continued to do things their own way.

But after encountering the corpse and hearing Sarah's words, the two finally shut up.

The two of them are now quieter than anyone else, afraid of making the slightest noise.

However, when they passed a section of road where the rock was loose, Dan still spoke up to remind them:

"Please try to move as quietly as possible when you pass through here."

He looked up at the cave ceiling, which was constantly seeping sand and gravel, and said:

"The structure here is loose and very unsafe."

Upon hearing this, everyone slowed their movements and carefully climbed over the path one by one.

Sheriff Vince was the last to crawl, and because of his large size, he had to be extra careful as he crawled.

But when he was halfway up, he heard a 'thump' from the wall.

A shower of sand and gravel then slid down, soaking Sheriff Vince.

This sudden situation,

Sergeant Vince was so frightened that he froze on the spot, unable to move.

"Fuck!" Sheriff Vince cursed under his breath.

Looking up and seeing that the rock face had not collapsed, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But when he reached out to climb forward again,

My right hand suddenly felt a cool, slippery sensation, as if I had touched something sticky.

Sheriff Vince froze in shock and quickly shone his headlamp forward!

Under the light of the headlamp, a strange man with grayish-white skin was crawling in front of him, sniffing the air.

From its slightly open, blood-red maw, some disgusting mucus was slowly flowing out.

And his own hand was pressed right onto the monster's slime!

Upon seeing this terrifying monster, Sheriff Vince could no longer suppress his fear.

He screamed in terror, "A monster—!"

But just as he uttered the cry,

The already fragile rock face could no longer withstand the impact of the sound.

With a loud "boom," a severe landslide occurred!

Those who had already crossed the landslide section fell to the ground.

To avoid being injured by flying stones.

Smoke and dust quickly spread, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

Moments later, the brief landslide finally ended.

Meanwhile, Inspector Rios, Vince's partner, cried out in anguish:

"Good heavens, Vince!"

Li Yuan quickly covered Rios's mouth and whispered in her ear:

"Stop shouting, take care of yourself first!"

Following Li Yuan's light, Rios saw a group of gray-white monsters slowly crawling towards them!
