"You are safe now." Yu Qi said softly, all the coldness in her voice gone. "The military is here. We are taking you out."
Tears streamed down their faces. They had never truly believed they would be rescued. Their hope had nearly vanished, leaving them in despair. They were glad that heaven did not abandon them.
