As they moved forward, they passed through the forest and did not meet up with the retreating troops.
This was because the artillery squad that Zhang Daoling and Wang Ziming were escorting did not follow the same route as the retreating troops.
On one hand, they did not want to implicate the retreating troops. On the other hand, when the two of them were fighting, the artillery squad guarding 50 people was their limit and they did not have the time to help the other soldiers.
This route was personally chosen by the commander-in-chief, Zheng Xinglong.
Compared to the other evacuation routes, the route was shorter and took less time.
Thus, the possibility of encountering a mysterious mutated creature attack was reduced.
Walking in the forest, other than the gunshots and the cries of birds of prey, there was no other sound.
The creatures that were originally living here had long been scared away by the previous battle, or had been hunted and eaten by birds of prey.
