If not for his identity and the mission he bore preventing him from retreating, he would have wanted to run too.
Fu Zhang followed the group.
They returned to the city.
He needed to go somewhere crowded and ask around about the situation in this world.
The general gave up his own horse for Fu Zhang to ride and mounted another horse himself.
Along the way, Fu Zhang asked questions, and the general answered whatever he could.
Unless it was something he truly did not know, he held nothing back.
He learned that many monsters had inexplicably appeared in this world.
Their appearances and corruptive nature were identical to those of mutated monsters.
Fu Zhang sighed. Even after changing locations, there was still no peace.
This world had already been invaded by Weird.
And judging from how this city had lost contact with the other cities, the situation had to be extremely severe.
Especially since, on the road back to the city, they had passed through many villages.
The few mutated monsters wandering about, and the empty villages utterly devoid of any sign of living people—

If the Aberration Association never discovered it, then sooner or later, it would become another world destroyed by Weird.
