Chapter 40: Setting Fire to the Mountain, Bursting Through at the Head

In the morning, within the forest, Shen Congfei and his party were still searching for traces of their enemies.

"Spark, where do you think those people have gone? Haven't encountered anyone in half a day," someone asked.

Xue Yangping held his gun, with a root of grass clenched in his mouth, looking aloof and carefree. It was unclear if he had temporarily overcome the impact of his parents' death as he claimed.

Shen Congfei shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't seen anything either."

He was telling the truth. Now that it was daytime, there was no immediate need for the fire warning system.

Should they find a lookout tower first and assess the situation?

Moreover, they had been walking for so long without encountering a single enemy.

Something seemed off to Shen Congfei.

Upon realizing this, he decided to lead the group to the nearest lookout tower, but suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, halting the others as well.
