Colonel Johnson was still wearing the military uniform from the mission he once executed. But the once crisp and brand-new uniform was now torn and tattered, covered in a crust of dried mud, so filthy that its original color could no longer be discerned.
His hair was dry, his skin pallid, his demeanor weary, and his beard unkempt, looking no different from a vagrant.
Aside from Colonel Johnson, Wu Chang had not seen the other three in Wells's resentful memory. Colonel Johnson stood at the periphery of the group of four. Starting from him, Wu Chang looked at the other three, one by one.
The first person wore a dark brown suit and round-frame metal glasses, exuding an aura similar to the deceased Wells, indicating he was likely a Scholar.
The second wore a black work uniform with a name tag on the chest, identifying him as Pei Taiheng, a station manager.
