Roger felt that his thought process and Tang Shu’s were completely out of sync. Just because he couldn’t see a figure, could he really be sure there wasn’t a problem? Wasn’t that a bit too presumptuous?
Tang Shu raised her hand and pointed to a mound ahead with a gentler slope, where there was a string of footprints, as if someone had recently stepped there.
"There are footprints over there."
The footprints led forward, not down the slope, which meant the person they were looking for had only lost a hat, rather than falling down the mountain. As for why they didn’t go pick up the hat... that was unknown.
Upon seeing this, Roger pursed his lips and suddenly didn’t feel like speaking anymore.
Alright, this woman was clearly intelligent. No wonder Wei didn’t like her, huh! This kind of intelligence was infuriatingly overwhelming.
With that thought, Roger completely forgot that he had just been proclaiming the other person to be foolish.
"Then let’s hurry, we’ll catch up with her soon if we speed up."
The two of them sprinted again along the rugged mountain slope, and soon they witnessed a very perilous scene. Not far away, a woman was hanging from a big tree growing out of a rock fissure—below her was a steep valley so deep that the bottom couldn’t be seen!
The woman’s face was panicked, her hands desperately gripping a tree branch as thick as an arm. Unknown when, her exposed face had been scratched by two bloody marks, with blood slowly seeping out. Besides that, her clothes were torn in several places, looking extremely bedraggled.
Roger shouted excitedly, instantly drawing Lin Yucheng’s attention. Her face, filled with panic, lit up with surprise the next second.
Tang Shu glanced at the big tree growing in a twisted and irregular shape, and her heart sank.
"Don’t move around! Keep holding your position."
That branch was showing signs of breaking due to the force of gravity!
The moment Tang Shu finished speaking, she sped up her pace while using her walkie-talkie to call for help.
"Calling Captain Cheng, calling Captain Cheng, the missing individual has been found near area A, sector 4. There is a potential fall risk, prepare rescue measures!"
Roger, following behind, saw that she had already made contact with the others and chose not to open his mouth, focusing on running toward Lin Yucheng’s location.
He only saw a blur, and Tang Shu, who had just been in front of him, sprinted off, using nearby rocks as levers to jump, even performing a 180-degree turn in mid-air, and in the next instant, she was five meters away from him.
Roger was dumbfounded!
Yet the person in front didn’t slow down at all; she continued to use the various protrusions on the slope, whether they were rocks or trees, never missing a step. Despite the slope’s steep 60-degree incline, she traversed it as if it were flat ground, running with such intensity that it seemed like she was sprinting.
Roger didn’t even have time to react as she put dozens of meters between them, watching as Tang Shu and the target tree drew closer and closer.
"Not even parkour is this impressive, right?! Does she think this is a flat surface? She’s reckless!"
He was sweating on her behalf!
And her precise judgment, what was that about? Even a climbing expert would need to observe the positions in advance, right?! Roger swore that Tang Shu hadn’t had time to plan ahead, but just went for it, hands-on!
How sharp could her reflexes be? Was she some kind of human computer?
