The attack came very suddenly. After the man in heavy armor had left, the ambush appeared out of nowhere. The first to be attacked was the temporary camp, but the people there responded very quickly, or rather, when Ahn Qi was transmitting information to Zheng Yichen, the camp had also received the same information.
The Alien Phenomenon hunters immediately withstood the attack, while Ahn Qi's side was intercepted. The negotiation had begun in a clearing a certain distance away from both parties' camps.
So, it wasn't easy for Ahn Qi to get back after being intercepted.
Zheng Yichen kicked away a local soldier who was approaching, the heavy armor the man wore seemed to have some sort of special kinetic assistance.
