The northern outpost returned to a semblance of normalcy after the battle with the creatures, but Leo and his team knew that their work was far from finished. The ancient portal's surge had left a ripple effect across the region, with pockets of instability and unknown threats emerging in its wake.
Captain Marcus gathered Leo, Sofia, Owen, and Evelyn for a strategy meeting. He unrolled a large map across the table, pointing to several locations marked with red circles. "These are the areas where we've detected unusual activity since the portal surge. We need to investigate and ensure there are no lingering dangers."
Leo leaned over the map, examining the various points of interest. They were spread across a wide area, from dense forests to remote mountain passes. "This could be connected to the portal's energy. If the surge caused disruptions in these areas, we need to contain them before they escalate."
