The sound of their conversation grew fainter and fainter.
The two figures in special hazmat suits quickly disappeared around the corner of another building.
It wasn't until he was certain they were completely gone that Lin Ye slowly eased his taut nerves.
Yet, a chill climbed up his spine, making him shudder.
'There are other people in this abandoned city I've been using as my personal leveling ground!'
Lin Ye was incredibly thankful for his caution.
He was glad he had always made it a rule to lie low in the abandoned city, never revealing his presence. Even when grinding monsters for EXP, he was the hit-and-run type.
Perhaps that was the only reason he hadn't run into this mysterious group head-on.
Lin Ye's mind raced, deconstructing and analyzing the short conversation he had just overheard, extracting the most critical information.
Their conversation contained a few key phrases.
"Took the long way around," "contamination zone," "escaped."
'Why take the long way around?'
