No, there it is again. Sergeant Catroux hears it quite clearly now. A scraping and bumping sound. He considers waking up Lieutenant Juin to tell him, but what if it turns out to be nothing? He does not know what to do but continues hearing the sounds. He moves his body slightly to try and determine precisely where the sound is coming from and can distinctly hear it coming from the floor underneath him.
He decides to wait no longer, rises weakly from hunger and thirst, and weaves his way through the men. He steps on some feet, bumps against legs, and gets sworn at. He moves away from the wall and falls over someone in the dark. He moves away quickly to avoid getting kicked at, but it is unnecessary this time because this man can never hit or kick someone again.
It is the corpse of Correir
