By evening, Luo'er and Tangmo, who were responsible for the reconnaissance mission, finally returned. Even though they didn't make much progress, Luo'er provided valuable information: they had heard English spoken in Helros, leading them to suspect that individuals from the CIA might have also infiltrated the city.
You see, the High-peak people had always been staunch partners with headquarters. Now, they seemed to be withholding information everywhere, and with the presence of English in the city, it's hard to guarantee whether the High-peak people were showing favor to western Earth countries.
If by airboat, the round-trip to Helros requires about half a month of time, whereas people from Earth can stay near Yazhi City continuously for nearly three months.
