The orange dust was gently brushed aside, revealing a human body in its entirety.
Only the upper half of the torso remained, the left arm bone broken at the elbow joint. Under the tattered military uniform was a body that had completely dried out.
Because of the alien environment, decomposition did not occur, so even though this body had been abandoned for an unknown length of time, some facial features were still clearly visible.
Ji Xinghe delicately picked up the body, slowly raising his hand. His gentle actions didn't cause the remains to crumble, and he was able to fit it into the bag in his hand.
The Mountain-cutting Mecha following him extended its right hand, but Ji Xinghe didn't pass the bag to it, or rather to Yazi, who was currently piloting the Mountain-cutting, as he had done before.
Because this body was not complete.
