Sean Knight and Lincoln Harrington approached the city, using the trees for cover.
The War hadn't reached here yet, but it was evident that people were in a hurry, with most heading out of the city.
Even those few returning to the city were moving very fast, as if fearing that one slow moment might lead to an irreparable disaster.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Sean and Lincoln became bolder and walked out of the bushes, carrying their backpacks towards the city.
With their different faces and skin tones, plus carrying large backpacks "against the flow," they indeed attracted quite a few glances.
But these people did nothing more than take a few looks before hurrying away.
No one bothered to meddle in their affairs.
Moreover, it was obvious that these two were not to be trifled with.
Lincoln tried to hail a car, but not a single one stopped.
The two of them had no choice but to walk towards the city.
