In the game.
The next day, early morning.
A gentle breeze passed through the forest. The character controlled by Fang Ming shivered uncontrollably, slowly opening his eyes.
Eight people, covered in dirt and looking disheveled, were huddled together for warmth, having spent the night like this.
Fang Ming propped himself up, moved his numb limbs a bit, and took a few breaths of the morning air, almost choking on the smell of decaying leaves covering the forest floor.
Rustling—
From the edge of the distant forest, a large flock of birds suddenly took flight.
Fang Ming's expression changed, they were coming this fast?!
Without pausing to think, he quickly woke the other squad members:
"Get up quickly."
"The Imperial soldiers have caught up again."
The others struggled to open their eyes, but upon hearing Fang Ming's words, they immediately became alert. Ignoring their exhaustion and weariness, they got up at once.
