In an instant, everyone headed towards the direction of the screams.
Even while they walked, they tried to be as quiet as possible to accurately judge where the sound was coming from.
They didn't know if that sound was related to their rescue mission, but they harbored immense hope in their hearts.
They hoped that it was the people they were looking for.
But they also had a great worry. The screaming was so heart-wrenching, so dreadful, had something inhuman happened?
There was more than one person plagued with these questions.
The source of the sound seemed to get closer, but the mountain road was challenging. Even the fastest among them took a full twenty minutes to reach it.
Three men stood next to the source of the sound, shouting, "Who's there? Where are you?"
The sound seemed to be coming from underground. Looking around, they couldn't see anyone, yet some noticed traces of broken tree branches.
