Ge Niancheng immediately became the focus of everyone's gaze.
His uncle Lin Tai had vanished mysteriously the day before, and Li Jun had been temporarily selected as the team leader, but unexpectedly, Li Jun was quarantined due to the flu, and now Lin Tai's nephew, Ge Niancheng, had taken his place.

He hadn't returned since. Therefore, to the villagers, it was very likely that Lin Tai had encountered some mishap while marking the area, such as slipping on the ground and falling into the White Mist, or something of that sort. But this possibility was too terrifying for the villagers to voice openly.
