The Great Necropolis on the outskirts of the city had now become a temporary Hunter Camp, packed with over ten thousand people.
All kinds of modified locomotives and heavily armed trucks were parked beside the railway tracks. Even various supply shops had set up there.
Bonfires blazed brightly, and the place was bustling with activity.
Besides professional hunters, there were also Information Brokers and people from the major city gangs. All sorts of people were mixed together.
By comparison, there were not many people from the Governor's Mansion. Some lights could be seen on a distant highland, arranged in a formation that faintly matched a battle array.
One side was scattered and disorderly, while the other was disciplined and rigorous. The two factions were clearly divided.
Before there had been any result, both sides had still managed to restrain themselves.
Now that the maze exit had reappeared and no one from the Governor's Mansion had emerged, everyone understood that Governor Cao's group had suffered total annihilation.
The entire camp instantly erupted.
The hunters swarmed toward it.
Things were better than expected. The body-collection clothes had not been needed.
Ji Xun and Nan Jing changed into adventurer outfits again, posing as newly arrived hunters as they gathered information from the camp's Information Brokers.
Someone had indeed left the space eight hours earlier.
But it had not caused much of a stir before disappearing without a trace.
Upon receiving this news, both Ji Xun and Nan Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they did not know where Chujiu had gone after coming out, the fact that she had not been intercepted and killed on the spot was already the best possible outcome.
Out in this wilderness, as long as she had not been trapped, she was more than halfway to safety.
