Karl led a large group of people and searched all night.
At that time, because it was too dark, they went around to the bottom of the mountain, took the wrong direction, and encountered a cut-off road with nothing but thorns in front of them. Nobody would have gone this way so they just returned to the main road.
Fortunately, he had all the entrances and exits of Hill Benjamin blocked and guarded to ensure that no more killers would enter.
Moreover, on their way, they also accidentally found the masks and daggers discarded by the criminals.
According to this, Karl judged that in Hill Benjamin there should have been no criminals left that was able to threaten the lives of Joyce and Luther, and the leader of the thugs had chosen to withdraw, and from the traces left by the thugs, the thugs had left Hill Benjamin.
At least they were quite safe for now.
So, Karl ordered the special force team to rest in place and wait for daylight before looking for them.
Otherwise, it was just a waste of time.
When it was almost dawn, the surrounding area was finally barely visible, at which point Karl repositioned himself and used satellite cloud maps to determine where Joyce and Luther might be.
It was the lake at the bottom of the steep slope.
The terrain of the mountain was complex. Some places were flat, some places were thorny, and they had no idea of all those with only a map, no wonder they went in the wrong direction last night.
When it was almost dawn, they changed direction and followed the flat road, making their way to the woods by the lake.
And now they would reach the small lake shown on the map just after they walked through these woods.
