"Hello? Corporal William, do you hear me? Please answer!" 

But no one replied. 

Jeanne cursed inwardly while weighing her options. After a while, she decided to take the risk of confirming the troops' status.

She walked slowly while crouching down through the grass to get closer to the vicinity of the convoy.

On the way, she tried to make sure that there were no rocks and branches getting stepped on as she walked so that there would be no excessive noise that could attract the monsters' attention in the worst case that any of them were still alive.

The first thing she saw was an armored car.

She quickly approached the car and then cautiously went around it.
