As dawn broke, a moderate-sized aircraft landed in a nondescript Tennessee airport Fro out like a sore thuroo teen

The leader of the small coht, and he was focusing intently on reading the intricate device in his hands After a long while, theeastwards, in about two days' time, we should be there Can someone hand me a map?"

A regated around it, spending quite so it away Then they stood up and prepared toto the ht outside of our destination, but the i now is to locate a serviceable car, because if it's possible, I’d like to reach our objective in under two days Any extra time we save is useful because we have no inforht be a ca in between" At that, the leader waved the group out of the airport to go search for cars

The ragtag bunch of people was indeed the Black Star Unit, and the leader was naturally Yao Yuan They had just spent one full day up in the air, or to be more precise, that and a short pit stop in Hawaii The plane they were on was not strong enough to last the full trip over the Atlantic, so they picked Hawaii to stop for gas and maintenance

Hawaii, like every other place in the world, was in a state of pandeh away froeneral populace that it was still relatively functional They even ed to procure additional fuel However, because of that detour, they were a bit behind schedule in arriving at Tennessee

Nevertheless, they ed to land successfully on Tennessean soil As they left the airport, along the driveere already a bunch of stranded cars ripe for picking As luck would have it, the airport they came out of was in theAs The Tennesseans, though, knew trouble when they spotted it Yao Yuan's team was too heavily equipped and too proficient in their movement to be mistaken as your run-of-the-mill army soldiers Even arroup that wouldn't be taken advantage of and thus opted for flight instead of fight

And just like that, Yao Yuan's team hitched a ride out of toithout much of a fuss As they went on the freeway, their speed picked up considerably because the roads beca their way become fewer in between The result was that they came upon the town that bordered their destination earlier than previously calculated

It was the quintessence of a pioneer's ho for a sih was that there wasn't any sign of hus, not even those of the dead that they'd come to expect It was as if the whole toas preserved in tin of destruction nor of chaos; it was an incongruously idyllic ha the way The effect was… unsettling, to say the least

Yao Yuan sensed that so, so he immediately went into action As he leapt down fronaled his commands The rest quickly fell into action Yao Yuan led two other agents into the town to scout, Ying and his partner scrambled up to the roof of the car to set up their scopes, while everyone else spread out to secure the peri the flurry of activities, and that was Zhang Heng and his caretaker, Guang Zhen Surveying the peaceful scene around the couldn't fathom the need for all these securitywith everybody? We finally found a town that's intact, so we should iht? Don't you people ever go hungry?"

Without turning his head away fro Zhen replied, "There's so very odd about this town There shall be no hastyreport"

Guang Zhen's answer befuddled Zhang Heng, and so he quizzed, "Odd? What's so odd about this place? It looks so peaceful here Open cemeteries aren't odd for you people but this place is…? Maybe the people have siht about that?"

Guang Zhen whipped his head around and stared sternly at Zhang Heng for his folly, his displeasure with the kid's ridiculous hair further fueling his irritation The sudden burst of ire had a shrinking effect on Zhang Heng, who stu as the kid al Zhen reined in his exasperation and condescendingly said, "Everything's not as si in eightcertain death without assurance froo forsaken everyone, how many percent of the public do you think canyours too, would be only a sht? This town has at least a minimum of, let's say, 10000 people… what do you think are the chances that those 10000 people are all a part of that se?

And as you can see before you, there are no blissfully carefree townsfolkabout; they've disappeared without a trace it would seem Why do you think that's so?"

As color returned to his face, Zhang Heng subconsciously echoed, "Why?"
