While the battle raged several thousand wounded Russians had taken refuge there, who now, some alive and some dead, filled all the houses of the town. Burnt bodies were lying in the ruins of the houses which had been burnt, the entrance of these places being almost blockaded by cadavers.
"That still doesn't tell me what you thought you'd find." "Quit being cute. This time yesterday there were cadavers in here. This was a laboratory!" Brent looked wearily at his watch.
