Whereabouts

Early morning, after the rain, the humid air was suffocating.

Amid the faint mist, a team of more than twenty people dressed in army-green martial attire appeared within the dense forest.

It was a young team. Most of its members were twenty-three or twenty-four years old, evenly split between men and women. The oldest was only around thirty.

Though these people looked travel-worn, none of them were injured.

"It's Yang Qing!"

Someone cried out in alarm.
