After everyone stopped, Luo Zheng set down the supplies and equipment, grabbed his Type 95 assault rifle, and went forward to scout. Throughout the journey, Luo Zheng noticed that everyone's physical strength was not as robust as his, so he took on the scouting task voluntarily. Perhaps due to the family's Breathing Skill, even though his entire body was drenched with sweat, Luo Zheng felt his condition was still stable and didn't gasp for air like the others.
