When he looked in front of him, he saw pieces of clothing being tied onto the tree branches at regular intervals.
Elated, Kenneth moved forward, following the markers left behind. The extra was following close behind, and it was obvious that someone had left those markers deliberately.
That was the first glimmer of hope they had stumbled upon after such a long search. As a result, even the extra felt energized again. He couldn't help but say, “Normally, one could never find their own way out of here.
Regardless of whether she had left the markers behind for herself or someone else, it was the smartest thing she could've done!”
Kenneth heard it, but he didn't bother responding. At that point, all he
wanted was to find Denise.
“Denise!” Kenneth shouted as he searched.
However, he could only hear silence.
Kenneth didn't give up, and he kept walking along the markers left behind. I know Denise is waiting for me!
Meanwhile, Natasha, Anthony, and Benjamin had arrived at the spot indicated by the GPS. However, they searched the area and saw no sign of Denise.
“Denise!”
“Denise!”
Anthony and Benjamin were calling out to Denise as they searched for her.
Natasha was also looking around the area. Since the GPS locator says Denise is here, she must be somewhere nearby, right? Where is she?
As she was scanning the surroundings, she was getting incredibly worried.
Right then, Benjamin looked upward and saw something. “Tony, there are two caves up there! I'm going to check them out!”
Anthony looked up as well. “I'll check one of them!”
“Okay!” Benjamin nodded. When he was about to move forward, Anthony shouted, “Be careful, Benjamin!”
“I will!” Benjamin answered and climbed upward.
Upon seeing that Benjamin had gotten up safely, Anthony followed behind.
The two of them checked the caves and saw nothing. When they came out, they shook their heads at each other in disappointment.
“Let's head down first,” Anthony suggested.
Benjamin nodded in response.
With that, the two of them headed downward carefully.
Suddenly, Benjamin slipped and rolled all the way down.
“Benjamin!” Anthony yelled.
Natasha heard Anthony yelling, so she immediately turned toward the voice. When she saw Benjamin rolling downward, she ran toward him.
“Benjamin!” Natasha lunged toward him and scanned his body for injuries. “Benjamin, are you all right? Are you hurt?”
Benjamin suffered some scratches and minor injuries on his face and arms. Hence, he frowned and shook his head nonchalantly. “Nat, I'm all right. Don't worry about me. Sadly, Denise is not up there!”
“It's okay. Since Denise isn't here, she must be waiting for us somewhere else!” Natasha answered.
Benjamin nodded when he heard that.
Right after that, Anthony ran toward Benjamin and asked, “Benjamin, are you all right?”
“I'm fine. I slipped, that's all. No biggie!” Benjamin answered.
“Let me have a look!” Anthony leaned toward him and looked at the injury on his face. With a frown, Anthony said, “You're hurt!”
“It's just a minor injury. It won’t kill me!” “No! Why don't you go back first? Nat and I will continue searching!” Anthony suggested.
“It's such a waste of time and energy to go back now! I would rather just stay with you guys. After all, it's just a minor injury. It's nothing!” Benjamin answered.
“But—”
Just as Anthony was talking, Benjamin, who was sitting on the ground, touched something and held it up.
