408: The murdered fishermen were discovered.

Not only were there canned goods, but also several bags of grain sealed in plastic bags, and some other supplies.

"Did you find a radio?"

Lu Jing asked.

"Report! Suspicious activity found."

Just as Lu Jing finished speaking, the Soldiers searching the cave discovered something.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing walked over and found a stone slab, and the detector was currently beeping frantically.

This indicated that there was metal under the slab. Whether it was a radio or something else would be known once it was opened.

"When you open it, check carefully..."

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian did not personally handle it. If they did everything themselves, when would these Soldiers be able to train and develop?

After confirming there were no traps inside, several Soldiers gently lifted the stone.

Inside was another stone slab. After lifting the slab beneath it, a radio appeared before everyone.

"It's a radio."

"There's actually a radio here."

Lu Jing stepped forward, adjusted the radio, and found that it was indeed operational.

Xiao Niannian looked at the radio. This was indeed a radio made in the USA, and it looked like it had been used for a long time.

What was certain was that this radio, and this place, had been continuously used by someone. To use this radio, one would have to sail here.

Through these findings, clues could be traced.

"Report! We found corpses in two locations..."

Hearing this, Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian immediately walked out of the cave.

About a hundred meters away from the cave, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing saw two patches of fresh soil, which had now been dug up, emitting a foul odor.

"Don't look."

Lu Jing reached out and shielded Xiao Niannian.

"I'm not afraid."

In her original world, she had seen all kinds of things.

During the most difficult missions, she had smelled odors far worse than this.

However, Xiao Niannian took out a mask and put it on.

She also gave a few to Lu Jing and the others. If conditions allowed, there was no need to endure unnecessary suffering.

Military Doctor Shen also took out gloves.

"They were killed instantly by a single shot. The time of death was three days ago..."

Three days ago.

They could still make out the appearance of the two people, although they were already somewhat disfigured.

"Judging by their clothes, they should be fishermen from the fishing village..."

"Ugh."

Someone couldn't hold it in and started vomiting.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh."

It was as if a switch had been flipped, and several people began vomiting.

The smell was indeed too pungent.

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian looked at the two people.

Xiao Niannian spoke.

"When we get back, I'll draw sketches of their appearance. Then, we can ask the comrades at the Public Security Bureau to help investigate which commune they belong to. They haven't been home for a long time, so their families might already have reported them to the Public Security Bureau..."

Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing nodded.

"Niannian, you are right."

"Let's bury them first, mark this spot, and search the surrounding area for any other clues..."

After Xiao Niannian left the area, she could still smell the odor at the tip of her nose. She had felt very uncomfortable when she smelled it just now, but she had endured it.

"Oh my gosh, this is too awful."

"I didn't expect it to smell this bad."

These two people were discovered by Shen Yan. He had come here to use the restroom but smelled the foul odor. Feeling something was wrong, he called the Squad Leader and the others.

"Ugh..."

Shen Yan had just said one sentence before he started vomiting again.

Military Doctor Shen glanced at his younger brother disdainfully.

Xiao Niannian took out alcohol and sprayed it towards Shen Yan.

She handed the other bottle to Military Doctor Shen.

"This is alcohol, it can disinfect..."

Military Doctor Shen took it and sprayed himself heavily.

Xiao Niannian took out two more bottles from her backpack. She gave one to the other Soldiers, and used the other to disinfect herself and Lu Jing.

After a while, Xiao Niannian handed the alcohol to the others.

Walking back into the cave, Lu Jing was already using the portable radio to report the events on the island to Captain Chen and the others... Meanwhile, Shen Yan ran down the mountain and went to the seaside to wash up.

"Sister Xiao, luckily you gave me your homemade soap, otherwise today, I would have..."

"Ugh."

Shen Yan held the soap and vigorously washed his hands.

"Are you stupid?"

Xiao Niannian looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan looked at Sister Xiao confusedly.

Why was his sister scolding him again?

"This is seawater, not fresh water. If you wash like this, you'll have to wash it again with fresh water later."

Shen Yan looked at the seawater in his hands, and only then did he realize.

Yes, Sister Xiao was right. This was seawater, not fresh water.

"I wonder if there is fresh water on this island?" Shen Yan looked around.

He looked at Sister Xiao's walkie-talkie, gazing at Xiao Niannian with a flattering expression.

"Sister, how about you help me ask the other squads if they've seen any fresh water or a small pond?"

Xiao Niannian saw him frowning, looking miserable, and nodded in agreement.

"Calling other teams, this is Instructor Xiao. During your search, have you seen any fresh water on this island..."

"003 reporting, no fresh water found."

"001 reporting, no fresh water found."

Hearing that neither of these two teams had found fresh water, Shen Yan felt a little disappointed.

"002 reporting, on the south side of the island, about a hundred meters from the foot of the mountain... we found a small pond, but there isn't much fresh water..."

Hearing this, Shen Yan cheered up. Even if it wasn't much, he could at least go wash his hands and face first.

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian decided to accompany Shen Yan.

There was no fresh water here, but she had some in her spatial storage.

Later, she would secretly release some so that Shen Yan could wash thoroughly, otherwise, Shen Yan would be frantic all day long.

Of course, she had experienced times like this too.

Back then, she had washed for a full half hour, scrubbing every way possible. But later, after experiencing more things, she was no longer like Shen Yan.

Stinking mud pits and various ditches—they didn't have such good conditions during training, sometimes going two or three days without a bath... Xiao Niannian withdrew her thoughts.

Shen Yan also heard the words over the walkie-talkie, and he ran down the mountain.

Xiao Niannian also followed Shen Yan down the mountain.

Shen Yan had followed her here, so of course, she had to protect Shen Yan's safety.

Shen Yan sprinted the whole way, his speed much faster than his usual run.

After running for a while and reaching the location of the Second Squad, Shen Yan ran towards the pond.

He saw a pond about two or three fen in size. There wasn't much water inside, and some of the water was slightly green.

Xiao Niannian put her hand in the water, watching Shen Yan frantically wash his hands.

Xiao Niannian felt the water from her spatial storage quickly release. In less than a minute, the water level rose by about the height of a palm.
