Yun Xi was wondering about why they would build their stronghold in a crowded village when she noticed a blue street sign that was flashing as they drove past an intersection.
She saw that it said border.
It suddenly occurred to her that City C was very near the border of Country Y. They had been traveling for more than two hours since she had been kidnapped.
Since she'd just seen that sign, it meant that they had reached the border.
For many, many years, there had been much instability at the border. Various incidents were always taking place around here.
They had been trying to capture Crocodile for such a long time, but they'd been unsuccessful. Apart from his occasional exits and entries, most of them had never seen him before.
Now they had arrived at their territory, and it was a village in an important place near the border, so it must be patrolled frequently.
