Ping City Outskirts
Ten plus kilometers away from the urban area, within a dense forest.
The green sea of trees burst into waves of rustling sounds with the breeze from time to time.
On a slope among the forest,
three men in white military uniforms stood quietly. Their uniforms did not belong to any country's armed forces in the world; they had no national military emblems, just a small golden insignia on the right chest. They looked simple yet impressive.
The man at the lead was a middle-aged male with wrinkles beginning to show on his forehead.
The man's gaze rested quietly on the forest opposite as if he was waiting for something.
"Not here yet?" he suddenly asked in a soft voice.
One of the soldiers behind him lifted his wrist to check his watch.
"Three more minutes. They should be arriving soon."
"Hmm."
The middle-aged man was about to continue speaking.
When suddenly, faint footsteps came from the forest opposite.
