In the days that followed, Chu Guodong's Squad 532 assisted the incoming military in uncovering the evidence of illegal experimentation conducted by the high-ranking officials and the underground laboratory at Liancheng Base, leading to a major overhaul of the leadership from top to bottom.
The new base leader was an impartial and stern man, whose methods were impressive, and soon stabilized the upheaval in Lian City, restoring life to its former calm.
The test subjects rescued from the underground laboratory were also aided by the military upon the new leader's request, those wishing to return to their hometowns were escorted back by the troops, and those who had nowhere else to go were also well accommodated at Liancheng Base.
The people from the nearby villages were finally able to return to their homes. Tragically, of the forty or fifty villagers who had gone missing, fewer than twenty returned in good condition.
