Chen Bitong stared at Chen Chuan for a moment, then nodded. He didn't say much, his expression just grew serious as he gestured to their surroundings. "Captain Chen, you see these?"
Chen Chuan's gaze fell. He had thought they looked strange from a distance, but now that he was closer, he saw that they weren't people, but some kind of Modified Creatures.
They were about the size of an ape, hairless, and covered in a thick, leathery hide that looked very tough. They had small, narrow eyes and a protruding snout, its bared maw filled with sharp fangs for tearing.
Chen Bitong said, "These things are called 'White Plagues.' They're a biological weapon frequently used by the Old Imperial Family. The Old Imperial Family's armies take them wherever they go. We dealt with them often on the front lines. They aren't a huge threat to us, but there are a few things you need to be especially careful about..."
