After ignoring every Void Specter they encountered, Yuan's group reached the Orange Zone in just a day. Since Unknown Ores were rarely found near its outskirts, they continued venturing deeper.
Before long, Yuan had gone farther into the Orange Zone than he ever had during any of his cleanup missions.
"Alright, let's begin our search here," the squad leader said.
"Wait. Since this is Corporal Yuan's first mission of this kind, shouldn't we explain how it works first?"
"Oh, right." The squad leader turned to Yuan. "It's quite simple. We'll form a line with some distance between each person, then advance together. If anyone spots an Unknown Ore, they let the others know so we can stop and wait for them to retrieve it."
"..."
Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing the explanation, unable to ignore how inefficient the method seemed. However, he also understood the need for order. If everyone searched independently, it would be easy for someone to get lost.
