Chapter 425: Will Not Help

The sachet was something she temporarily exchanged with the system. It could mask the human scent and prevent it from being discovered by large predators.

The two took the sachets and looked at Lin Ting gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Lin."

"Don't be so polite. Be careful when you go down the mountain." After Lin Ting gave a few more instructions, he arranged for the golden monkey to lead a few people down the mountain.

Xiao Zuo used a safety rope to secure the girl's body to the stretcher so that she would not fall out even if the road was bumpy.

After they left, Lin Ting controlled the sparrow to continue searching for other people's bodies.

As for the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake, Lin Ting originally let it go, but after they had taken a few steps, the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake caught up with them and kept following Lin Ting. She was afraid that everyone would accidentally step on the little guy, so she had no choice but to pick up the little guy and wrap it around her arm.

The little guy is the same color as the grass on the ground. In nature, he can make good use of his color advantage to hide his body shape, but if you are not careful, you may ignore him and accidentally step on him.

With Sparrow leading the way, Lin Ting and the others quickly found the remaining four people.

It was just as the little sparrow said, they all became corpses.

One of them had lost his lower body, and judging by the extent of the wound, he must have been eaten by a large wild animal. According to the judgment of Lin Ting and Captain Qian at the scene, this person had been dead for at least four days. The temperature in the reserve was relatively low, and the environment was humid, which delayed the decay of the body to a certain extent. Only the wound had just begun to rot.

As for the other three people, one was found in a ravine. He must have accidentally slipped down the mountain and was trapped there, unable to get out. There were many scratches from branches on the boy's body, as well as traces of him climbing up. However, the environment was too slippery, and it was difficult to climb up without tools once he fell down, especially for a group of college students who had no ability to survive in the wild. It can basically be judged that they were trapped to death in the ravine.

Another person was found dead on a tree, hanging upside down with a sharp branch stuck across his heart. He must have been escaping at night without paying attention to his feet and accidentally fell from the mountain. His body was stuck on the sharp branch and he died on the spot. This person's body was the most severely decomposed one, with the flesh slowly falling off and the flesh on his face completely rotten, making it difficult to identify him. He could only wait until he returned for a DNA test to prove his identity.

Captain Han had the body taken down and placed in a body bag, which was then carried forward by two people.

Another person was found by the stream. He had no obvious injuries on his body, but his face was purple, as if he had died of suffocation.

But there were no marks of strangulation or pinching on the neck, which clearly indicated that it was not caused by human suffocation.

Lin Ting suddenly remembered that when they were cleaning up the garbage at the scene yesterday, they found asthma medicine in a schoolbag. This person must have run too hastily, causing the asthma medicine to be left behind. When he escaped here, he suddenly had an asthma attack and died of suffocation.

The body was not decomposed, and judging from the rigor mortis, it had been no more than two days since death. There were no obvious bite marks on the body, and it was obvious that it had not been bitten by an animal.

There are many reasons for asthma attacks. It may be caused by being under stress for a long time, or by suddenly seeing something scary.

He's already dead, there's no need to study him. Captain Han had the body wrapped up.

Seeing that the corpse was almost dealt with, Lin Ting stood up and said, "Let's go down the mountain."

Captain Han and Captain Qian exchanged a glance, and Captain Han asked, "Miss Lin, there's another girl, and the monitor of their class."

Lin Ting looked at them seriously and said, "The little sparrows haven't found the squad leader yet. I'm afraid he's in great danger. I've already told the little sparrows to continue looking for him in the forest. If they can find him, that would be great. If not, he might be dead. After all, there are still many carnivores in the forest.

If we can’t even find the little sparrows living in the woods, I don’t think we can find anyone in there.”

"As for that girl, I've already told her parents that I won't help look for her, and I definitely won't help. As for whether you want to look for her or not, it's up to you. The rest has nothing to do with me."

Lin Ting glanced at the time on his watch. "It's getting late. We should get down the mountain. If we don't, the forest will be filled with miasma. In such an environment, it's easy for humans to get lost in the deep jungle, and encountering wild beasts would be even more unfortunate."

"If you want to look for it, I suggest you go into the mountains tomorrow. It's not suitable to stay in the mountains today." Lin Tingyan said this and glanced at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Captain Han and Captain Qian.

Captain Han looked at Captain Qian with an embarrassed expression and asked in a low voice, "What do you think about this matter?"

Captain Qian put his hands in his pockets, his face solemn. "For everyone's safety, we should go down the mountain. If you insist on giving the family an explanation, then stay in the woods and help search. However, according to information Miss Lin has gathered, the girl has become a corpse. It's not wise to risk everyone staying in the woods just for a corpse."

Captain Han thought about it and felt that Captain Qian was right.

"Everyone, please get ready and follow Miss Lin down the mountain."

Lin Ting was not surprised by Captain Han's choice.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Lin Ting asked the panda father to lead the way and lead everyone down the mountain.

It took them nearly two hours to get down from the mountain. When they returned to the outskirts of the reserve, the sun had already set. The sunset dyed the entire mountain red, and the reserve behind them had fallen into semi-darkness.

Everyone who saw them coming down the mountain rushed forward immediately. Parents were anxiously looking for their children. Deputy Section Chief Zhao and others came forward to show their concern for the search and rescue team.

Bai Xi quickly came to Lin Ting's side, and Lin Ting lowered his voice and asked, "How is it?"

"Deputy Section Chief Zhao is so overwhelmed by this." Bai Xi also shared in a low voice.

Lin Ting raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Xi.

"After the first lucky child was sent down the mountain, the parents started making a fuss, constantly surrounding Deputy Section Chief Zhao and asking when their children would be leaving. Deputy Section Chief Zhao couldn't say anything harsh to them, so he could only appease them while his head spun."

Lin Ting didn't say anything, but he didn't know how they would react when they saw that what they rescued was a corpse.

When the body bag was opened, all the parents stood there in a daze. Some burst into tears, some fell to the ground in a daze, and some parents fainted and were taken away by ambulances guarding the periphery.

After the first student was rescued, Deputy Section Chief Zhao arranged for an ambulance to wait outside in case of emergency, but he didn't expect it to be needed.

Four other parents circled the body bags twice but couldn't find their children's bodies. Hopeful, they ran and threw themselves before Captain Han and Captain Qian. The woman in the red dress tugged at Captain Han's hand, excitedly asking, "My daughter isn't here. Is she still alive?"
