65 Withdrawal symptoms

The two soldiers who had not returned yet had only dared to venture out when they saw nothing had happened to Yang Xiaojin and Luo Xinyu. By going outside together, they took the necessary precautions.

But now that almost ten minutes had passed, the two of them were still not back.

Xu Xianchu stood at the edge of the hollow and peered out into the forest. Although it was only evening, the sky had already turned black due to the rain.

"Could something have happened to them?" someone asked.

"But there wasn't any noise," someone said, curled up in the corner of the hollow. "Surely they couldn't have been attacked at the same time and made no sound, right?"

Logically speaking, that should have been the case. But wasn't this exactly what made it even more frightening? Xu Xianchu had instructed everyone to go out in groups, but even so, something still happened.
