'Someone tampered with the satellite signal, blocking our Special Service Team's frequency.'
They had lost contact with command, but Ye Junhan remained calm. He led his men in the direction they had originally agreed upon.

They had only traveled a little over ten kilometers before they could no longer find any of the marks left by the previous convoy.
Just ahead, the recent major earthquake had split the ground open into several large fissures, creating multiple branching paths.
