Suddenly, Mark raised his hand to signal the team to be quiet, his sharp eyes fixed on the distant hillside.
"There's a reflection at ten o'clock," he lowered his voice, his muscles tensing instantly, "someone is watching us."
Lei Shuangcheng immediately crouched down and sneaked over with two of his men.
Ten minutes later.
He returned with a gloomy face, and in his open palm lay a bullet casing that gleamed with a cold light.
"7.62mm sniper round."
Mark picked up the shell and sniffed it, his expression suddenly changing. "It's a professional killer. The smell of gunpowder is still fresh. The other party just left not long ago."
Xu Bo immediately unfolded the yellowed silk cloth and traced a hidden path with his fingers.

The team had advanced one-third of the way.
"Be careful of falling rocks!" Xu Bo shouted a warning.
Almost simultaneously, debris rained down from overhead.
Shi Heng pressed Gu Youran against the rock wall, with his back completely exposed to the falling rocks.
