After letting the two women quench their thirst at the vines, Ye Qiu had them take a rest. Now that they were ready, he prepared to continue on, hoping to reach the cave by afternoon.
Ye Qiu had an uncanny feeling that there was something strange about the cave, suspecting that the source of the virus causing the epidemic might be there.
It was an instinct more accurate than a sixth sense.
As Ye Qiu squatted down to carry Wen Xin on his back, Wen Xin glanced at Zhou Wenting, and upon seeing that she was fine, leaned onto Ye Qiu's back.
The three continued forward, but suddenly, when they saw a long, black snake crawling by, the two women jumped in fright.
For girls, snakes are among the scariest creatures, especially since Professor Zhang had almost died from a venomous snake bite. This had left a psychological scar on the two women, causing them to feel even more afraid now.
