It already sort of does make sense from the start. Abe knows he and his fellow workers are going to be toast (well, Pops), so he has a motive to rescue the dudes he passes on his way out.
Why he wouldn’t go and rescue everybody from the outset can also be inferred – for a start, Zulag 2 is locked down, and on top of that Abe doesn’t yet know his destiny as savior. I doubt he would have the confidence in himself to risk it initially, but after learning his destiny and completing the Trials, he’d feel a lot more empowered.
