Having arrived at the edge of the county town, the appearance of these strangers instantly made the place tense.
"Who on earth are these people?"
"Look at the equipment they're wearing."
Some people began to discuss and gaze at these newcomers, but no one dared to approach them casually, fearing they were all villains.
Seeing the wary looks from the people around, Qin Yuan knew he couldn't cause them trouble.
He ignored them and instead ordered the people beside him to disperse immediately, preferably not to disturb the residents.
"Let's split up and meet at the county office."
This small county town was very tiny. Qin Yuan had studied the map thoroughly before, knowing that a mere half-hour walk would lead him to the real office.
Once he got to the staff, he'd explain everything clearly and quickly request rescue.
He did this to avoid disturbing the local residents and to spare them from further trouble.
"Understood, Captain."
"Understood, Captain."
