Xu Jingming silently turned around and left when he suddenly saw a wet figure running over—it was Zhang Ke.

"Captain." Zhang Ke, who was completely drenched, said in surprise and joy, "You're fine?"

"I happened to be out of the jurisdiction area and escaped a calamity," Xu Jingming replied. Thankfully, one more member of his team survived.
