"Wait for me," Maya said as she walked toward the direction of the steamship.
Lin Wu hesitated for a while, but in the end, he didn't put away the drone. When the group noticed Maya, the woman shouted to the two men, and all three went to meet her. The steamship was about 100 meters away from the roadside, and they walked up onto the highway to communicate with Maya. From the details, none of them seemed intent on reaching for their weapons; they chatted briefly and then shook hands.
Maya sat down with them by the lake at their makeshift campfire. One of the men went to get a tea tray from their base, another went to fetch water from the lake, while the woman sat close to Maya, warmly engaging her. Soon, the water was boiling, the tea was served, and Maya handed her Sniper Crossbow to the woman who examined it for a while before returning it to Maya.
