Within the range, nothing escaped her vision and hearing, no matter how subtle or tiny it was.
That was enough, Jiang Yao thought. She could drive on and push the two-kilometer envelope further, as long as she could hear the soldier's cries for help or see his silhouette, that was all she needed.
Definitely a faster way to search for the missing soldier.
It was late at night as the storm ravished the highway, not a car to be seen. The various tributaries of the West River flowed into the river next to the highway. The river flow was rapid and the current was strong as it flooded the farm patches on the banks of the river, covering everything, including the vegetation.
Jiang Yao focused her entire attention on listening and seeing. She saw, from her vision, that there were many objects floating in the river, such as clothes, shoes, furniture, trash, and even animals, who were struggling, being brought away by the strong current.
From her hearing, she could hear very clearly unknown yelps and howls coming from the mountains. It was so clear that she could identify where exactly they came from.
There was not a human nor any houses to be found along the entire journey. Even the most daring person would have a difficult time trying to navigate a place like this on a stormy night.
Jiang Yao was not the most courageous person but her focus was currently directed at searching for the survivor. Anything not related to her mission was ignored.
The storm paused only for half an hour throughout the entire night, as heavy rain poured on the rest of the time.
Jiang Yao drove on, passing villages and towns on the way. However, she still had no luck finding the survivor.
