The fog seemed to emerge from beneath the ground, spreading silently throughout the entire forest.
Then the fog grew thicker and damper.
The soldiers and detectives, already accustomed to this change, withdrew from the forest in line with their usual experience, standing outside the forest and observing in silence.
Based on previous experiences, they estimated that the fog would reach its peak density around 12 o'clock, and then it would start to wane.
By around 5 in the morning, it would have completely dissipated.
Having been through this process for half a year, they didn't pay much attention to it.
Like in the southern part of the forest controlled by Xinjie City Investigation Bureau, a few detectives from the Special Service Department were even smoking and chatting casually.
"Old Zhang, how long has it been since you were home?"
"Sigh, almost a month. My shift's about to end. When I get back, I can have a good rest."
