    Unfortunately,st night’s rain was too heavy and washed away the traces Matthew and the others had left behind. The rescue teams could not judge the direction from the road. People could only shout as they walked. When they reached a remote area, Valerie suddenly turned into a small path and gestured for the others to follow her<b>.</b>
