However, Marvin couldn't do anything after Reuben had given him explicit orders. All he could do was urge the driver to send him the dashcam video along with the videos he had recorded from his own phone, sending everything to Reuben.Reuben didn't immediately contact Arlo as he had said, however.He wasn't at the scene and hadn't seen what had truly happened, so he was waiting to confirm that there was indeed a grave situation before actually reporting to Arlo.And soon, two videos of the scene arrived on his phone, and he was overwhelmed once he watched both, as he never expected it to be that horrific.Judging by the extent of the damage, the entire mining zone must be completely destroyed.The destruction of the dead soldiers' base was already a severe loss. Even then, the more pressing question was whether the armed cavalry guards and the dead soldiers had defected, as theorized when the Cyprus base had turned out empty.So, he called Arlo without another moment's delay, whi

While Marvin was stunned that the huge refinery and mining area would suddenly erupt into a sea of flames, he also knew that something this important had to be reported to the higher-ups right away.That was when the heavy machinery ignited and exploded as well, the force of each detonating fuel tank sending everything hurtling up in the skies, while the entire Duca Mines flared like a colossal display of fireworks.Even as the deafening rumble of further explosions resounded, Marvin filmed everything while avoiding the falling debris. He then promptly called his superior, the deputy governor supervising all special envoys to garrisons. The deputy governor was at the Right Military Governor's office, watching a screen that monitored the progress of the Transition.The various garrisons of the Right Army Governor's Office were marked on the map in bright dots. Above each dot were two arrows, one pointed toward it, and one pointing to another dot.Naturally, the dots represented ea

The driver quickly pointed out, "Could it be because of the Transition? It's only natural that they had to pause to send off their comrades while waiting for the fresh faces to arrive. With all the adjustments necessary, a pause would simply facilitate the Transition much better.""That's true," Marvin sighed. "And I guess the Transition can be a sensitive period for the armed cavalry guards, if not a bit cruel. I mean, I've worked with Roy for years, and we get along pretty well. I wouldn't mind saying that the sudden change in hierarchy annoys me too, but all we can do is pray that we don't get Transitioned too."One of the men in the back seat asked nervously, "Sir, are you saying it could happen to us?""How should I know?" Marvin sighed in exasperation. "I will only find out if we're getting Transitioned too. Otherwise, there won't be a peep. And if it ever happens to us, we have no choice but to follow orders."The man appeared mournful right then. "My son isn't even a year o

Penny nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I won't fall behind."Charlie then turned to Porter and said, "You're leading the evacuation tonight. Once the fireworks settle down, lead everyone to the cannery. You don't have to wait for me. I'll catch up."Porter bowed his head respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Wade!"-At 10 pm, Roy received a call from one of Moore Trading's special envoys, informing him that their convoy had just departed Casablanca and was expected to arrive in Duca Mines by midnight.At the same time, all the armed cavalry guards had completed the final preparations for evacuation, with Roy passing Charlie a remote detonator. "Just press the button, and this will trigger all the explosives that have been placed underground, in the factory, and in the management office simultaneously."The remote control for the wireless detonator resembled a satellite phone in both size and appearance. It had an LCD screen in the center and a long antenna on top, significantly larger than a

At 4 pm, the freight train from the ONCF arrived at Duca Mines as per schedule. Following their usual routine, the armed cavalry guards from the Third Company guided the train onto the platform, detaching the empty freight cars. One of them would guide the driver to reverse the locomotive while others loaded the freight cars.Roy was internally thrilled even as he stood alongside the rest of his company, watching as the train slowly accelerated and pulled out of the platform.Once it left, all that awaited them was the evacuation! Across centuries and generations, they and their forebearers could only dream of escaping the despotic clutches of the Qing Eliminating Society. Now, only a few hours remained for that dream to come true!Nonetheless, the mining machinery was still working even after the train departed.Then, as darkness fell, the armed cavalry guards from the First Company moved everything to the clearing around the office building. Every piece of heavy machinery aft

By day, the cannery was completely silent. Though there were thousands of people in it, the strictest of order was maintained—no one who set foot by the front gates would even notice their presence crammed in such small buildings.To minimize outside attention, Merlin had soundproofed a few buildings where mothers with infants could stay, so their occasional crying fits wouldn't be heard outside the factory.Also, Merlin provided the dead soldiers and their families with mostly instant food to avoid leaving a trail.The cannery already had a large stock of canned sardines, and Merlin had also prepared bread, crackers, luncheon meat, and fresh vegetables that didn't require cooking. Feeding thousands was easy with these, with each person having a fair-sized portion along with drinkable water and a sealable trash bag. After each meal, everyone carefully placed their trash in the bag, which was then collected and sorted by respective team leaders. All the waste that built up over t
