Chapter 288 - 282 Empire Graveyard
The resting house was on the right side of the highway, an abandoned but still intact earthen structure, and about one kilometer due south of the highway’s left side was a small hill.
While eating, Li Jingang also kept an eye on the surroundings. Apart from the small hill, approximately three hundred meters in height, the rest of the terrain was flat, making it possible to spot a person from a far distance.
At that moment, Li Jingang was peering through binoculars at the small hill, but all Gao Yuan saw when he looked was his eyes being stung by the noon sunlight; he didn’t see anything else.
"Where are the people?"
Panxin also raised his binoculars, and Li Jingang raised his hand, saying, "At the most inconspicuous spot just below the top of the hill, on the left side, there are two people watching us."
After carefully observing for a moment through the binoculars, Panxin whispered, "There’s no one. Are you sure you saw clearly? You didn’t use binoculars earlier."
"I’m certain. If no one had moved, I would have had a hard time noticing them, but I did see someone moving. When I raised the binoculars, they were gone."
Panxin put down the binoculars and whispered, "Based on their chosen position, it’s not something an amateur could manage. Whether friend or foe, we’ll leave first and be careful."
