Having spent the last night at the training base, the group set off for the headquarters. Here, they would part ways; the Advance Team would continue their mission in the Otherworld, while the Orion Squad would return to Earth, with a high probability that they would never meet again in this lifetime.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive on the return journey, but no one wanted to break the silence. After nearly a month of time spent together, the two squads were no longer the strangers they once were. Now that separation was imminent, everyone was feeling rather unsettled.
Yaning quietly leaned in Tangmo's arms, watching everyone. After this period of recuperation, her psychological trauma had mostly healed, but it seemed her brain would never fully recover to normal.
After two units of travel, the group arrived once again at the headquarters. Once settled, Luo'er and Tangmo came to Wang Xu's office to receive the next order.
