"Senior!" Brad's loud yell took Joela and Hector by surprise; neither of them had expected such an outburst from the usually reticent Brad.
They followed the sound and were astonished by what they saw.
Across the road, two, no, three figures were stumbling along, with one being carried on another's shoulder…
They seemed to be descending the mountain.
Both parties slowed their pace, aware of each other's presence.
However, Brad's shout had clearly put the other party on high alert.
These two had been spotted before through Spirit Vision Sharing via the Alchemy Array.
Joela began to scrutinize the duo more closely. The one carrying a person had a serious expression, was wrapped in a purple robe, and looked formidable. He must be the one who managed to repel those Wire Puppet-controlled walking dead single-handedly.
