The Third Part Chapter 89 Mutual Admiration 2

ainst the glass of the passenger seat, a mixture of anticipation and nervousness bubbling up inside her. She was, as Lu Kuò said, a paper tiger - easily scared. If things developed naturally, she woul...Chen Ning did not insist any further. She and Teacher Liang avoided the battle zone, sprinting back to their car and driving towards the China Pavilion.

The ruffians from the south of the city have broken through the defense lines and are attacking northwards. Everything Chen Ning sees outside the car window is devastated. She sits back in her seat, calms down, and grips the old-fashioned cell phone in her hand, trembling slightly. Facing such a large-scale war up close for the first time, she, too, is an ordinary person and couldn't help but be afraid.

Teacher Liang seemed very calm. She glanced at her and asked, "Are you scared"

"Not bad." She didn't want to appear awkward in front of her senior.

Mr. Liang laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are careful not to be hurt, we are mostly safe."

Having said that, he noticed she was still clutching an old-fashioned cell phone in her hand. He asked curiously, "What's this" It's rare to see young people using such phones nowadays.

Chen Ning replied very sincerely: "My amulet."

Mr. Liang thought she was joking, so he said, "In a critical moment, only the passport in your pocket can save your life. That's the real amulet. Don't lose it."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Liang for reminding me."

All of them are important, the phone is her psychological amulet. Holding it, all panic can gradually subside.

What about Teacher Zhang's side Will it be resolved smoothly

“You have to find the person in charge of Xili country and get them to open a special channel for us so that the plane can take off and leave.”

"Will you give us a special lane" Chen Ling asked again, "Two or three hundred lives are at stake. We can imagine Teacher Zhang's pressure."

"It's no big deal. We have been supporting Xili country's economic development for so many years and provided them with countless aids. These aids were not given for free."

With Liang Teacher saying that, Chen Ning's heart felt a little lighter.

The Chinese Pavilion was just ahead. There was a small square paved with cement in front, with a red flag planted at the front and a three-story building behind it. The outer wall of the building was made of smooth stones, looking both safe and sturdy. Behind the building, there was a row of bungalows, which served as family quarters.

If it were placed in another country, it would seem rather shabby, but in Xili, it is the best building in the area, comparable to the nearby municipal government office.

"This museum was built by Teacher Zhang himself back in the day."

"Did Teacher Zhang used to live here"

“Yes, Xili country was much more backward than it is now back then. The reason why they sent him here as the commander-in-chief this time is because he has deep personal connections here.”

This relationship is very important for carrying out the work. After more than an hour, Teacher Zhang also returned, bringing good news. The last plane safely left the Xili border, which means that most of our compatriots in Saro City have been evacuated safely.

Everyone who heard the news applauded.

Mr. Zhang waved his hand and said, "Everyone should be mentally prepared, the real difficulties and tests are ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the place fell silent. The people of Slocheng South hadn't been reached yet, hundreds in the port city were still waiting to evacuate, and the construction workers in Zagaz had made no plans for leaving. Each city felt like a mountain, crushing down on everyone's hearts.

Chapter teacher is not intentionally putting pressure on everyone, but it's still not time to relax yet.

The on-duty colleagues stayed behind, while the other colleagues rushed back to rest and recharge.

Everyone was indeed exhausted, especially the eight colleagues who had come from China. They all hadn't closed their eyes for a whole day and night.

Teacher Zhang was a real ironman. While everyone else went to rest, he kept himself busy in the office. Chen Ning's mind was exhausted but she couldn't sleep. The constant sound of gunfire overhead made her ears ring.

She immediately sent Song Jingye a message to let him know she was safe when she got back to the house, but it might have been due to poor signal that her messages were intermittent and he hadn't replied yet.

Couldn't sleep, so I went to Mr. Zhang's office to see if there was anything that needed to be done.

Chapter teacher and several leaders were in a meeting. On the huge screen in front of them, maps of cities across Xili Country were displayed. The areas highlighted in red were those that had been occupied by the opposing government forces.

While the city of Zagazig was surrounded, a sea of red engulfed it.

A port city, with a scattering of red around it.

Chapter teacher saw her come, ignored her, and continued the meeting, "This operation, relying solely on our department's strength is difficult to accomplish. I have already applied above, and the domestic land, sea, and air three forces have been sent to support us. It is expected to arrive tomorrow morning."

So, tomorrow morning, we will be divided into two teams. The first team will go to the south of the city and bring out our compatriots trapped there; the second team will cooperate with the navy to evacuate to a port city by sea.

The port side has already chartered a cruise ship. As soon as the navy arrives tomorrow morning, they can escort them out to sea.

Teacher Zhang didn't mention the construction workers in Za Jia City, saying they would need to wait for the arrival of the troops before discussing further.

In the wee hours, Chen Ling still hadn't received a reply from Song Jingye. Her own phone had completely lost signal, and even her old-fashioned phone only had a sliver of power, but she couldn't get any messages either.

I fell asleep to the sound of gunfire at dawn.

With her work now settled, she felt a sense of calm. She remembered the woman's pleading look as she gripped her hand at the airport, and the countless missed calls she received back home. She resolved to follow her colleagues to South City tomorrow.

The south of the city is now the most dangerous place, completely occupied by the rebels. She, Mr. Liang, and three other colleagues went there.

Along the way, the road was bumpy and they encountered more than ten checkpoints. Local soldiers repeatedly questioned them, asking, "What are you doing in Xichengnan"

"Welcome our countrymen."

"The south of the city is very dangerous now, it's best if you don't go there without a good reason."

As they were talking, suddenly a group of thugs burst out from the side and opened fire blindly at them, smoke billowing everywhere.

The Western Army roared curses and immediately, with men at their backs, raised their guns to engage in a firefight. Bullets and flashes of light streaked past their eyes.

Chen Ning and Teacher Liang quickly rushed back to their car and drove forward frantically, dodging the bullets flying towards them. Although the car was bulletproof, every time a bullet hit the metal body of the car, the sound of impact made her heart pound and tremble.

The car sped all the way, directly driving into the south of Slor City. This place had already been occupied by the rebels. Hooligans were running rampant in the streets, whistling at the approaching car, some even blocking their path and deliberately shoving them.

Because their car had the mark of the Chinese Pavilion, and they showed their foreign passports, the mob only dared to verbally provoke them, not actually harming them.

Here, there is a profound sense of devastation after the battle. Many wooden houses have been reduced to ashes, with some still smoldering with smoke.

The car was driving when a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind. Chen Ling looked back and saw several thugs, with guns pressed against a child's abdomen, spinning in the air. The child cried out loudly, while the thugs laughed wildly.erplay of light and shadow, radiating a gentle warmth.He wasn't hungry at all. Lin Zhifan didn't want to eat, didn't even want to reach the restaurant. He just wanted to sit in his car and drive forev...
