As Oliver kept tugging, he finally yanked up the entire half of a human arm.
The others immediately crowded around when they saw he'd found something.
"Is that… a human arm bone?" Chris asked, squinting.
"Yeah," Brandon nodded, "and it's only half-digested."
Ethan stared at the grisly find, his eyes narrowing. The appearance of a half-eaten arm out here meant something big.
"So that means… there really are other people alive in this desert."
"Right!" Chris suddenly caught on.
The arm was clearly fresh—still partially intact, not fully digested. That could only mean one thing: someone else had been here recently. Someone human.
Brandon added, "And it also means there's an exit out of the Underground Ruins. If we follow the path that giant snake took, we might be able to get out."
"Well, that's great news!" Chris nodded enthusiastically, impressed. "Damn, you figured all that out from just a half-eaten arm? That's actually kinda smart."
Why didn't I think of that?
