"Captain Guan is right. We can't make meaningless sacrifices. Even if we want revenge, we must wait for the right opportunity." The long-haired young woman also spoke up in support of Captain Guan.
"Alright then, let's listen to Captain Guan."
"Yeah, this is Sanctuary's territory. Fighting here puts us at too much of a disadvantage. We should retreat first."
After the others calmed down, they no longer insisted. They lifted the bodies of the Qiao couple onto the vehicle, and the three armored vehicles lined up in a column and set off, speeding through the night.
"Rulu, Nana, what are your plans for the future?" Captain Guan was riding in the same vehicle as Rulu and Nana. He turned to look at the two sitting in the back seat and said gently.
"I... I don't know what to do either..." Nana lowered her head, looking very dejected. She tightly gripped Rulu's hand, appearing not yet recovered from the blow of losing both parents.
Rulu, however, seemed quite calm. He said, "That Governor will definitely make every effort to capture Nana and me. I think we should leave the Concession area first and go outside to lie low for a while."
"That is indeed the best approach." Captain Guan nodded and said, "Don't worry. Although it's poorer and more chaotic outside the Concession area, I still have some influence there. I will definitely take good care of you both on behalf of Mayor Qiao."
"Thank you," Rulu said. At this moment, he remembered something and asked Captain Guan, "By the way, Captain Guan, the main routes in and out of the Concession area are heavily guarded by Sanctuary's military forces. Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to get in or out. How did you get into the Concession area from outside, and how will we leave?"
Captain Guan was taken aback. He laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about these things, Rulu. Since we were able to get in, we naturally have a way to leave. In any case, I will safely take you and Nana out of the Concession area."
Rulu could tell that Captain Guan didn't want to answer his question, so he didn't press further. Instead, he pondered it himself. Suddenly, he thought of something and said to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have entered the Concession area through the underground tunnels, right?"
"How did you know?" Captain Guan said in great surprise.
Rulu said, "During the period of total war, to resist Sanctuary's attacks, the Huaxia Nation built a large number of underground tunnels in Blue Sea City. These tunnels run throughout the entire city. If you want to leave the Concession area without attracting the attention of Sanctuary's military, the only way is through the underground tunnels."
Captain Guan secretly praised Rulu's intelligence and wit. He said, "You're right. Right now, we're heading to the nearest underground tunnel entrance in this area."
Rulu continued, "But these underground tunnels were all sealed off by Sanctuary a long time ago. You must have a passage token to travel through these tunnels."
Captain Guan said, "Don't worry about that. We obtained passage tokens with Mayor Qiao's help long ago. By the way, Rulu, I also want to ask you a question, if that's okay."
"What question? Go ahead, Captain Guan."
"When fighting that Governor earlier, I noticed you seemed to have very special abilities. You could jump so high, almost as if you were flying, and those people who were frozen were also very strange. So I wanted to ask, are you..."
When Captain Guan reached this point, he stopped speaking. He carefully examined Rulu's face, observing his facial expressions. Rulu guessed what Captain Guan wanted to say and answered straightforwardly: "You guessed right. I am an Ultra-capable."
"I knew it." Captain Guan said with sudden realization. "Ultra-capables are very rare around here. You could say they're treasures. Right now, Sanctuary is making every effort to recruit Ultra-capables to join them. Rulu, you're so young and outstanding, why don't you join Sanctuary?"
Rulu sensed there was an implication in Captain Guan's words, so instead of answering directly, he asked in return, "Captain Guan, do you suspect I'm with Sanctuary?"
Captain Guan, seeing through his thoughts, couldn't help but laugh awkwardly and said, "No, I'm just a bit curious."
Rulu's expression became serious. He said solemnly, "I know you Rebels have been fighting against Sanctuary all along. For your own safety, it's reasonable for you to be suspicious of my identity. However, I am absolutely not with Sanctuary, because I have an irreconcilable hatred with Sanctuary. You may not believe me, but I will prove my words are true through my actions."
"Don't say that, Rulu. You're Mayor Qiao's family. How could I not trust you?" Seeing Rulu so serious and earnest, Captain Guan felt somewhat guilty. He stopped continuing this topic and turned to the long-haired woman sitting in the front passenger seat, saying, "Hey Fox, how much longer until we reach the target location?"
The long-haired woman wearing over-ear headphones in the front passenger seat looked at her watch, then at the vehicle's map, and answered in a calm tone, "We should arrive in about ten minutes, but..."
Captain Guan asked, "But what?"
The woman called Fox didn't answer immediately. She adjusted the equipment in the vehicle and listened carefully to the sounds in her headphones. About half a minute later, she spoke again: "According to the intelligence currently gathered, several squads of Sanctuary's military are now heading in our direction. It's very likely they will intercept us before we reach the target location."
Captain Guan frowned. "Can we find a way to avoid them?"
Fox shook her head. "They know our position. It's unlikely."
"Looks like we can't escape this." Captain Guan sighed heavily and took out a square communicator, holding it to his mouth and saying loudly, "Everyone attention, Sanctuary's military forces are approaching us. They may appear within minutes. Everyone prepare yourselves and be ready for battle at any moment."
After these words, the three armored vehicles fell silent. A few seconds later, the people in the vehicles suddenly showed expressions of fervent excitement and began shouting loudly:
"Let them come!"
"Let them taste our power, we'll slaughter them all!"
"Now we'll have some action. We Rebels are not so easy to deal with!"
While shouting loudly, they took out machine guns, grenades, and other weapons, nervously observing the surroundings through the vehicle windows, ready for battle at any moment.
