Collecting cores

I'm thinking about it. I can finally tell who they are. It's a four-person team. I recall seeing them in front of the gate. It is preferable not to confront them. Who knows, maybe they'll force me to follow them. I'm really interested in getting a sense of where they're at. But, in the end, I came to a reluctant halt. 

If I do it, it will immediately reveal my location. As a result, I held my breath and waited for them to leave. The four-person team kept a close eye on the surroundings. They are not in the mood for small talk. Fortunately, they did not come across Zack. As a result, after a few minutes. They walked away from this location and into the grey area.

When I saw four people, I moved away from this location. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I look at the map to figure out where I'm going next. Clearly, I'm not going to go after them. It is preferable to be far away from them. I went deeper into the grey area after confirming it.
