With the end of the battle, the two human teams successfully merged.
There were less than two hundred people in the group, comprising of eight players and more than fifty non-player combat personnel—a formidable fighting force.
However, about half of them were injured; the soldiers Li Changhe brought up from underground were all wounded.
Old Zhao's side wasn't much better; they seemed to have fought against humans and monsters. There were many casualties.
As for now, vehicles were not an option for Yanyun because of the previous evacuation; cars were haphazardly parked all over the road.
Returning to the Safe Zone at night with a group of people having difficulty moving would be dangerous.
Thus, after discussing, the players decided to retreat to the building first.
After all, it was originally set up as a safe zone by a player organization. It provided some defense, at least enough for the team to recover.
