While the cars were making their way toward the military center, Luciel continued dealing with the huge birds that were being attracted by the movement of the convoy.
Due to the chaos inside the base, a lot of debris and fleeing people were obstructing the roads, so even though the military center wasn't far, they were delayed along the way.
Still, despite the obstacles, the military center was close enough that they managed to reach it in a relatively short time.
When the soldiers at the military center saw the approaching vehicles—clearly marked as research center transport—they quickly made way and let the convoy pass, allowing them to enter safely without issue.
Luciel saw them successfully reach the military center and, satisfied that they were safe, turned his attention elsewhere.
