The time had come to finally leave the outpost and head towards the lost city. Uriel was feeling much better now that Sam showed up and brought Luna along with him. It wasn't just that he wanted to have his friends around, his odds of surviving were also increased by their presence.
Because of Jon's rank, the Mapple corporation party was going to be the last one to be dispatched and because of their numbers, the army would be the second to go. That meant that Uriel's party had to be the first to set off, something that didn't bode well for them.
Especially Janett who was certain she was heading to a death trap. Nika, on the other hand, couldn't care less about the order in which they headed outside and she was still sulking about the loss of her precious motorcycle.
The outpost was located near the lost city, in fact, it was so close it could be seen from the watchtower. But that didn't mean it was an easy trip now that cryptids were roaming in hordes instead of small packs.
