At this moment, Rulu remembered something and asked, "Captain Guan, how is the situation with the Sanctuary army?"
"The Sanctuary army? It seems they are planning to retreat," Captain Guan said, looking towards the entrance of the underground tunnel. He saw six vehicles and ordinary soldiers from the Sanctuary retreating along the road away from the rebel forces.
"That's good; otherwise, my hands would be stained with more blood," Rulu murmured. He had initially wanted to set the Sanctuary army ablaze, but now that they were leaving on their own, he wouldn’t have to continue killing.
Afterward, Captain Guan used a communicator to contact others. A little while later, another armored vehicle without a roof arrived. Everyone was very happy to hear that the governor was dead and the Sanctuary army was retreating. When they learned that it was Rulu who killed the governor, they were all surprised and looked at Rulu with admiration.
"Rulu, you truly are my good brother; I did not misjudge you. I am proud of you!" A Bing warmly put his arm around Rulu's neck and said with a grin.
"But A Bing, didn’t you just say that this person called Rulu is very self-righteous and annoying? Why have you changed your tune now?" teased a long-haired woman named Fox.
A Bing's face stiffened, and he defended himself, "No, I didn't say that. In fact, I admire people who are both smart and capable, just like Rulu. From now on, we are all on the same side. Rulu, if you have any difficulties, we will definitely help you. Isn’t that right, everyone?"
"Yes, Rulu is indeed a magical Ultra-capable, truly impressive. With him here, those guys from the Sanctuary are no match for us."
"Why don’t we have Rulu join our rebel forces? We can fight side by side against the Sanctuary in the future."
The other rebels also praised Rulu, expressing their closeness to him.
Faced with everyone's words, Rulu simply smiled and said, "Thank you all for your kindness. Let's save these discussions for later. Right now, what we need to do first is to leave the concession area as soon as possible."
Captain Guan shouted, "Alright, everyone stop talking. Get ready; we are leaving soon."
Everyone agreed, and then the two armored vehicles, along with Kallen's red armored troops, set off together into the dark entrance of the underground tunnel.
The underground tunnel was quite spacious; even with two large trucks driving side by side, it didn’t feel crowded. The tunnel branched off in many directions, resembling a maze.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
Captain Guan was very familiar with the environment in this underground tunnel; he clearly knew which direction each branch went. As they traveled a certain distance in the tunnel, they encountered a steel gate blocking their path.
At this point, Captain Guan got out of the vehicle and used a special card to swipe an electronic device next to the gate. The gate opened automatically, allowing them to continue forward.
The two armored vehicles drove with their headlights on, progressing steadily through the underground tunnel.
Captain Guan said, "Now we can be at ease. There are no Sanctuary troops stationed in this underground tunnel, and the environment here is very complex. Even if the Sanctuary army comes in from outside to chase us, it would be difficult for them to find us. In just over an hour, we will be able to leave the concession area."
Rulu squeezed Nana's hand beside him and softly said, "Nana, did you hear? We are safe now; you don’t have to worry or be afraid anymore."
Nana nodded and softly replied, "No matter what happens, as long as you are by my side, Rulu, I won’t be afraid."
Rulu felt warmth in his heart, thinking that he was now Nana's only support. He must not let her down, so he gently said, "Don’t worry, I will always stay by your side and will never leave you."
Nana softly hummed in agreement, resting her head on Rulu's shoulder, a smile of reassurance appearing on her face.
Kallen, who was nearby, was quite surprised to see this. She thought to herself that just a moment ago, Rulu had been so fierce, like a demon, burning the governor alive with flames. Now, he was so gentle; she truly couldn’t understand him.
The group continued to move through the underground tunnel, and nothing happened during this time. Unbeknownst to them, an hour had passed, and they were very close to the tunnel’s exit. Just then, an unexpected situation occurred as they noticed a faint light coming from the distance in the tunnel ahead.
"There’s light ahead! It seems something is coming?!" someone shouted, pointing towards the front of the tunnel.
Both armored vehicles stopped. Captain Guan said with confusion, "What’s going on? This underground tunnel is supposed to be sealed off, and ordinarily, there wouldn’t be anyone here. Could it be the Sanctuary army?"
A Bing said, "No way! How could the Sanctuary army be here? Even if they were chasing us from outside, they shouldn’t have arrived so quickly!"
Kallen asked, "Should we continue to advance? Are there any other exits nearby?"
Captain Guan shook his head and said, "No, this route is the only way out of the concession area; we can’t detour."
A Bing suggested, "What if we charge straight ahead and take them by surprise before they can react?"
Captain Guan said, "No, we cannot confirm whether they are enemies yet. Besides, if there are Sanctuary humanoid armored troops ahead, that would be a disaster."
"What should we do then?"
"Let’s stay alert for now and figure out the situation first."
Captain Guan and his group stopped in place, staring intently at the lights ahead. The others tightened their grips on their weapons, standing on guard.
The light grew brighter and closer. When it was about thirty meters in front of the rebel forces, they finally saw what it was.
A civilian pickup truck with its lights on appeared ahead. Besides this small truck, there was nothing else in sight. With a screech, the small truck stopped about twenty meters in front of the rebel forces.
"That scared me; it turns out it’s not the Sanctuary army." A Bing wiped the sweat from his forehead. The truck had only two people in long robes sitting in the driver’s seat, and behind the truck was a sealed white rectangular compartment. From their appearance, they looked nothing like the Sanctuary army
