Qiuyue's voice was somewhat hoarse, but the phrase "the mayor's orders" successfully persuaded these Level 8 New Humans. As the words fell, they looked at each other and all stopped, just watching Tang Ye's figure grow further away from them.
The soldiers who had survived by luck also gave up struggling, gathering on the crumbling ground, each figure looking disheveled.
Ye Changgong sighed. In an instant, he seemed to have aged more than a decade, hunching his shoulders, shaking his head, somewhat lost in spirit, and said to the others, "Let's go."
The others remained silent too, following Ye Changgong, leaving here and brushing past Chu Zha and the others.
On the other side, Tang Ye, no longer obstructed, moved unimpeded, quickly crossing ruins and seeing the road sloping downward and the tunnel at its end, with all the surrounding soldiers withdrawn, leaving only one person.
He stopped, turned back to look at Chu Zha and the others who had followed, and said, "Go back."
