After a few hours of non-stop driving, they finally arrived at the Camel Tower area, exhausted but relieved.
Their journey back had been arduous; it was already evening, and poor visibility made navigation through the flooded area particularly challenging.
At one point, one of the boats was severely damaged by unseen debris hidden beneath the water, causing panic among the group.

"General, we're almost at our building. Given the situation outside, I suggest you take shelter first and continue your journey in the morning," Ethan suggested, his voice steady but laced with concern.
The General Kaiser considered the offer for a moment, weighing the risks.
"I appreciate your concern, but we need to return as soon as possible. We'll visit once we settle into the military," he replied firmly.
