Chapter 639: The Clues, the Timeline Does Not Match Up! Part 2

The rifles carried on their backs were also adjusted to ready-to-fire mode. The four teams consisting of forty people, including the Liu brothers, began cautiously entering the cave under Su Mo’s leadership.

“A battle must have broken out here, and the attackers likely have guns!”

Su Mo took four steps into the cave and observed the traces on the cave walls. He took a step forward, removed his gloves, and gently rubbed the traces with his hands.

The traces left on the wall would be familiar to anyone who had used a gun. It was the burn mark left by bullets rubbing against the wall.

Su Mo leaned closer to smell it, and the slightly irritating smell matched up with his prediction.

“Guns against bows and arrows?

“This group of people had constantly been robbing people that passed by every day! I knew sooner or later karma would get back to them!”

Not understanding the severity of the matter, Liu Jie mocked the discovery and did not take it seriously.

From his point of view, what had happened in the Murderer Territory was a simple case of revenge.

It was not worth being so cautious.

However, his confidence and courage did not last much longer.

It only took less than five seconds for him to carelessly take a few steps forward and turn a corner to act tough, but instead, he screamed suddenly and made everyone’s hearts tremble.

“What happened?”

Su Mo subconsciously grabbed his gun and cautiously looked toward the sound.

“Here! There’s…someone here!”

“Someone?”

Su Mo turned toward the team’s rear and motioned with his eyes. He immediately put his finger on the trigger and prepared to shoot at any moment.

It was suspicious that anyone could still live in the cave under such circumstances.

The person was either a ruthless man who was numb to life-and-death situations, or the murderer who had caused the tragedy.

No matter which one they were, the unknown person possessed a very high threat.

The warriors holding flame torches and flashlights were also very cautious and formed a three-person cover formation, moving forward slowly in fear of an ambush.

“Shelter leader, it’s a…mummified corpse!”

Su Mo approached where Liu Jie had sat down, and under the light of the flames, the “someone” that the latter had mentioned was now visible.

He took another two steps forward and could clearly see the mummified corpse’s appearance.

“It’s flesh and blood had been completely drained?”

Su Mo looked up toward the torso of the corpse.

It had pale skin that had completely lost its elasticity and tightly clung onto the skeleton, revealing two black eye sockets.

The sunken chest and abdomen showed obvious crooked cracks along them, which were signs that the corpse possibly suffered a blow from something like a hammer.

He glanced down to the bottom half of the corpse.

The dried-up thighs were like two branches, and their dimensions were not even comparable to the thickness of an adult’s arm. The corpse’s raised knee joints were like two sharp spears bulging from the ground.

The feet of the corpse that seemed to be a considerable size when alive were only the size of a child without the muscles after death.

“There’s a wound on his neck!”

Feng Tianmin, who followed forward, had no fear in his heart. While everyone was still blankly staring at it, he picked up a branch and gently poked at the neck of the mummified corpse.

He flipped it over, and everyone could see the wound on the corpse.

Liu Jie, beside him, also looked at it for the first time and immediately exclaimed.

“It’s a gear symbol!”
