Several soldiers guarding the gate immediately stepped forward to question them and inspect the vehicles.
"Hello, please show your identification!"
Natasha opened the car door, stepped out, and produced her identification.
"Hello, I am Natasha, Captain of the Aquapolis City Administration Bureau. We are ordered to leave the city this time to escort personnel entering the Green Valley Secret Realm for training."
"Here is the exit permit!" Natasha beckoned.
A Management Bureau staff member ran over, holding a document.
"Alright, thank you for your cooperation!"
The soldier quickly finished reading the document, confirmed it was correct, and gave Natasha a military salute.
"Mm, it's only right!" Natasha returned the salute.
"Open the gate!" the soldier shouted loudly.
The massive, hard black gate slowly rose. The world on the other side of the gate revealed its true face: a desolate land with rolling mountain ranges in the distance, appearing even more silent and bleak.
