Another group had set out for the same woods, a combined team of people from all the Westbrook bases. Just as it had been the last time, Sunshine led the Fortress Four group. This time however, mercenaries that worked for Jon and his rich friends joined them.
Two hours was all the time they had to spend on the hunt and Elio was the eyes of the team.
As the team swept their way through the still standing greenery, the soldiers wondered how the forest had not been turned into a green graveyard. Yes, a bubble had covered most of the forest but how had the gel been applied to maintained it? The most abnormal part of it all was the way the forest seemed to have thrived during the acid rain.
It was greener, thicker and richer. It looked more like a tropical forest than some woods on a mountain.
They had many questions that they did not dare to ask Sunshine because Nimo had advised them not to poke too much into the business of the base leaders.
