Chapter 1057

The two of them observed for a while. There were many fir trees and unknown trees around.

“We have no choice but to search every single tree.”

“Let’s split up and search. You go that way, and I’ll go this way. We’ll meet here at noon regardless of whether or not we find it.”

“Okay, Mr. Everett.”

One of them headed east while the other headed west as they began to search separately.

However, the forest was too big and was filled with countless trees. It would not be easy to find it with just two people.

Bruce followed the map and used a pen to circle out areas of focus to narrow down the search area. An hour later.

Bruce had already finished searching and had to move on to the next area to continue searching.

His entire body was drenched in sweat, and his messy hair was stuck to his forehead. His outdoor camouflage uniform was now extremely muddy, and his face was scratched by vines and dried branches. “This should be the place that Eprarian was talking about.”

“Where the hell is it?”

Bruce looked around again. There were many small puddles on the ground, arranged in a way that made them look like human footprints that had been filled with rainwater. It seemed the heavy rain two days. ago had washed away many traces.

Another cracking sound could be heard.

He seemed to have stepped on a hard tree branch and tripped.

When Bruce looked down, he saw that he had stepped on a human skeleton instead.

His waterproof leather boots had stepped through the sternum cavity of the corpse. When he raised his foot, he carried half the skeleton with him.

“Holy shit.”

Although Bruce was brave, he was still shocked. He hurriedly took a few steps back, but his boot was stuck in the human skeleton. It was almost as if the bones were hugging his boot, making it hard to shake it off.

“Please excuse me.”
