News of the incident broke out.
At the press conference, the atmosphere erupted into a frenzy.
The fugitive, Yang, had somehow evaded the mountain search operation and appeared by a river several kilometers away.
How did he manage to pull this off?
The dense mountain forest was vast, with steep slopes and thick vegetation. Walking there was undoubtedly slower than on flat ground.
A professional athlete might manage a ten-kilometer sprint in half an hour.
But that's on a smooth and unobstructed race track or road.
In the mountains, reaching even one kilometer in half an hour would be considered good for most people.
Yet the fugitive Yang managed something truly remarkable!
With thousands of police officers and civilians surrounding the mountain, not only did he slip through their grasp, but he also broke out of the encirclement and surfaced kilometers away.
Was he especially familiar with this mountain terrain?
