At the border of the Empire's city, an unpopulated suburb.
After separating from the other two people, Shen Congfei hid his weapons and communication equipment and emerged halfway from the tall grass of the desolate suburbs, back on the main road to the city.
The Imperial soldiers at the border checkpoint were somewhat puzzled when they saw him, wondering why the mute young man had returned.
Upon seeing him, the soldiers asked, "Why have you come back again, where is your sister?"
Shen Congfei opened his mouth, then quickly closed it.
That was close. He almost forgot he was supposed to be mute.
Relieved, he raised his hands and gestured randomly.
The soldiers at the border checkpoint were speechless and sent him straight to their superior officer.
When the man was brought in front of him, the Sargent was drinking water.
"Pfft!"
Shen Congfei laughed, greeting the person who choked on his drink.
"*cough* *cough* What brings you back here again?"
