At dawn, Spark Squad set out eastward.
The White Nile River was to the east, no more than thirty kilometers away. At a normal pace, it would take at most one hour to get there, but there was a road on the western bank of the White Nile River.
For Spark Squad, who needed to cross the river covertly, having a road was not a good thing.
However, both Malakal City and Malut were on the eastern bank of the river, and since there was almost no infrastructure here, these two cities along the river were not distributed on both banks like in other parts of the world. Instead, they were only on the eastern bank.
In that case, the road running parallel to the river on the western bank should be devoid of vehicles and pedestrians, which reduced the chances of Spark Squad being discovered. However, once they crossed the river, the probability of being spotted would increase significantly.
