The journey to the abandoned, high-walled government facility where the sample was to be taken took four hours.
It took Roy quite some time, but he eventually noticed Master Abraham had invisible drones that moved ahead to map out the path, find obstructions, and (if there were any) abyss creatures. Using this data, he avoided stronger abyss creature territories by taking detours. Even when the Rank III Gate was spotted and the vehicle's technology started acting wonky, he took another route.
Master Abraham taught Roy that this driving part was where most of the problems with field missions into the wild resided. Most weren't skilled enough in predicting danger and at a point, would get the vehicle wrecked in an abyss creature attack or close proximity to an open gate.
At the wide gate of the facility, the APC came to a halt at the edge of the high wall.
"Are we really here?" Roy just asked, not hoping to get an answer.
"Don't forget. Always stay close."
