“A group of people? What was this group of people like?”

Su Mo immediately became enthusiastic at the new information provided by Liu Zhi.

His intuition told him that this group of people was most likely Marshal Wang’s party that set out from the basin.

However, in terms of the timeline, there was quite a significant difference that did not match up. It was abnormal.

“Um…

“Let me try to recall!”

Liu Zhi sat on the ground and scratched his head as he began to reminisce about the incident.

“That night, when the group of people appeared, we didn’t first encounter them at the territory entrance, but instead, someone came back from working outside to inform us that there was a group of people on their way to visit our territory.

“They had decent attitudes and even gave us a big pack of jerky as a gift.

“Before that happened, I was thinking about using the extra firewood in the territory to exchange for food and drinks, but my brother was much more cautious. He eventually turned down their request.

“So, I don’t have much information on them because I didn’t get to see them before they left. However, the descriptions from the people who informed us about them said that…

“The leader’s surname was…Wang? He wore a bearskin and had a gun on his back. The few people who followed him also were equipped with guns. They didn’t seem to be like people from the mountains!”

Having never seen them in person before, Liu Zhi could only vaguely recall the description of the visitor that was passed on to him at that time.

Their plans started with negotiation to meet them to the sudden change of mind and finally canceling the meeting between the two parties, sending the guest out of cautiousness.

As soon as he heard that the leader’s surname was Wang, Su Mo immediately turned toward Feng Tianmin, who stood beside him.

“Was Marshal Wang wearing bearskin when he left?”

Feng Tianmin gave it a thought for a while and shook his head.

“No. I remember clearly that when he first came to our territory, his clothes were ordinary linen, with a smiley emoji of a child printed on the front. Ah, right, the back of his trousers was torn open by a tree branch and had a small tear.

“Before their departure, we sympathized a bit with him, so we gave him new clothes acquired from the lucky bag, which were definitely not bearskin.

“We’ve never seen wild animals like bears on the way, so even if the team encountered a bear…

“The peeling, drying, tanning, cutting, and sewing process are troublesome tasks that would take at least ten days or even a month to complete. It’s impossible for them to be able to hunt bears and change their clothes.”

The reasoning that Feng Tianmin stated was very detailed and convinced everyone.

Their logical reasoning of the situation that could be inferred had come to a dead-end and fallen into an infinite loop.

No one could be sure that this group of people was Marshal Wang’s party that had set out from the basin before sufficient evidence surfaced.

“Why don’t we go back to question the person that provided me the information?”

Aware of the importance of this matter, Liu Jie sat on the ground, scratched his head, and made a constructive suggestion.

Everyone else was clueless about what this man with the surname Wang looked like, and the only person who knew was the laborer that had met him face to face.

Instead of making wild guesses, it was better to spend a little bit more time traveling back to verify their suspicions to at least seek a slight reassurance.

“Alright. We’ve already walked the route once. It shouldn’t be challenging to go back.

“Let’s do it this way. Feng Tianmin, Liu Jie, Liu Zhi, and I will journey back while the others will wait here.

“After all, these mummified corpses were also discovered by us. It won’t be a problem to leave them in the barren mountain, but still, they’re humans like us. Get Feng Long to lead the people to dig out a pit in the snow and bury them.

“We will take whatever valuable resources, food, or useful items in the cave. Pack them up and keep them somewhere safe first. We will come back for them when we return to the territory.

“And also get the others to carefully search the vicinity to see if there are other clues.”

After a bit of thought, Su Mo immediately approved of Liu Jie’s suggestion.

After all, the purpose of them entering the mountain was to try to recruit more people from Origin Territory to expand the population of their territory in order to develop rapidly.

The second purpose was to find out the identity of this mysterious group of people that appeared from Origin Territory. Su Mo wanted to know the strength and ambition of these people.

The team that visited two nights before the disaster was particularly important, and it was necessary to gather information from them.

Su Mo waited for Feng Tianmin to pass on the others. The large team immediately stopped and began to set up their stations at the entrance of the Murderer Territory.

The four who were to travel back traveled with light equipment and returned through the road they had come from, quickly returning to the Cliff Territory on East Long Mountain.

Their initial journey took three hours, but it was effortless to travel back. It took about 20 minutes to descend Great King Mountain, and it was also easy to climb East Long Mountain again.

A little after eleven in the morning, they could already see the cave entrance of the Cliff Territory.

“Shelter leader! Why’re you already back?!”
