The group that stopped beside the crater was composed of about a dozen people, all with the sharp bearing of elites who had waded through blood, no matter its color.
In the lead was Mountain, the commander of New City's armed force personally overseeing the operation. It could actually be called an incursion since the zone they were now in seemed to be under the influence of a different force. That also explained Estrella's previous order to stop any pursuit during the hunt that failed earlier if the hunted were to cross a certain point.
The position of the members of the group seemed measured, covering the surroundings with their perceptions, whether the simple one every human was born with, or the extraordinary one developed over the process of evolution. Despite that, however, the eyes of everyone were lingering on the more than ten meters wide crater on the ground, even if some were observing it from the corner of their eyes.
