Bab 421: Impressive

The dense forest stretched on endlessly, but Alex and Mira moved through it effortlessly.

As they advanced, the quiet hum of nature provided an odd contrast to the devastation they, or rather Alex, had left behind.

Alex, despite his earlier slaughter fest, seemed remarkably relaxed with his hands loosely gripping Virtue's Edge's handle.

Beside him, Mira was more focused, as she was the only one who could sense the drone's movements, if it were to be sent back up again.

Her lips were curved into a smug smile, still revelling in the fact that she had sensed something that Alex couldn't.

"Are you sure we're heading in the right direction?" Alex asked, glancing at Mira out of the corner of his eyes.

But of course, since Alex couldn't sense it himself, he was still rather sceptical about the whole thing.

What if it was a decoy?

What if it was bait?

What if it was just nothing, and Mira had somehow been deceived by her own ability?
