He drove the car to escape to this place. If he could, he wanted to do it directly. This would never happen.
When they arrived at a safe place, everyone came down to rest and take a look around. The bridge in front of them had been blown up, so they could only walk across it.
"The current situation is not very optimistic. We must speed up so that we can arrive before dawn."
Chen Ou's main worry is that something will happen. If those scientific researchers in the past are taken away again, there will be some trouble.
But at this time, Qin Yuan was calmly sitting next to him and preparing to rest. Chen Ou was a little anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to ask when he was leaving.
"Captain Qin has reached this point, I don't think we should rest."
"How can we do this without resting? Everyone has been running around all day. If we don't rest, when we enter the war-torn area at night, everyone will have to be on alert. You won't be able to rest even if you want to."
Chen Ou stood up and shook his head. His entire lip was completely cracked. The climate in this place was really too hot. They were not prepared. They had been running around from morning to night. To be precise, they had been running for the past few days. That's right.
Dayong also said that there was no problem and that they should complete the task immediately and make up for the mistakes they had made before.
Qin Yuan asked He Chenguang and the others to find some. They were going to light a fire here just now and take a rest here tonight.
Seeing that Qin Yuan really seemed to be planning to rest, Chen Ou was a little worried that he was really afraid that the person would be transferred again and they would have no way to look for him again.
"I know what you are thinking, don't worry, I will definitely do what I say, and he will not be transferred out so easily. This place is very special. According to what I just observed, there will definitely be a fight tonight, so we don't want to Go join in the fun."
What! Ah Cheng was stunned when he heard this. He had been observing the situation there in the past few days. If he really said that he was going to fight, it wouldn't be so soon. This is where he got the news.
"Captain Qin, even if they try to fight us, it doesn't seem to have much impact. Our main purpose is to save our people."
"You think it doesn't matter much. Then in that situation just now, do you think you would take action in order to protect yourself? Once you take action, the nature will be different, but if you don't take action, you will really be hurt."
Several people were at a loss when they heard this, and they were willing to analyze it with them. Now if there is a fight over there, no one can get out at all, and martial law will be enforced everywhere.
And it's not that easy to get in, so it's safest for them to be inside now.
"Let's see if you, the team members, can compare with us? We joined later, but you have been running around in the past few days. If you really don't get enough rest, you won't be able to bear the responsibility for anything that goes wrong later. Take responsibility.”
He walked over and patted Chang Lu on the shoulder, reminding him not to do that to other team members again and to think about the two team members who had sacrificed before.
When Chen Ou heard what Qin Yuan said, he could only nod in agreement, so everyone rested where they were. This place was considered a peaceful zone, so there was no problem.
Li Erniu and the others were very relaxed. After a while, the fire was lit. He took out some bread from his backpack and threw it to them.
"This is their local bread. You can bake it and eat it. It tastes pretty good. Just fill it up."
A few people just sat next to the fire and baked bread. This experience was indeed quite rare. After all, in a foreign country, many things can only be done according to local laws and regulations.
"Don't think this is such a disharmonious area, but the order that should be maintained is still in place. If we destroy it, many things will be amplified."
As the captain, Chen Ou is very aware of this. He is just worried about such an impact, so he has always been cautious.
"By the way, Captain Qin, I have always had a question. How do you know that they will definitely fight tonight? Do you have any gossip that anyone over there has received?"
"There is no such thing. This is my first time coming to this country. I have never been here before. I just analyzed the situation from the surface."
Chen Ou was even more surprised when he heard this. This person was able to determine that he could fight through these analyses. Wouldn't it be a bit rash? But after thinking about it, he finally didn't ask. If he asked directly like this, it might be a little weird. polite.
He said something very tough just now, but soon the feeling of exhaustion came to his body. They had been running around all day, and they were finally able to rest in the middle of the night, so he didn't care about that much and just leaned down. And fell asleep.
Less than an hour after they fell asleep, the sound of gunfire came from the distance. He was immediately awakened, and he got up vigilantly and looked into the distance.
Dayong held the gun and took aim subconsciously. Qin Yuan asked him to calm down and not be so nervous. He only saw that the members of the red blood cell team were all looking in that direction, while Li Erniu turned over with his hat on and continued to sleep.
"I told you not to make such a big noise. Didn't we just start a fight? You said you were still far away and continued to sleep."
When Chen Ou heard this, he was completely impressed. What this man said was so accurate. He would definitely hit him if he said to hit him, and he could even tell him when to hit him.
Qin Yuan explained very calmly that when they passed by those places today, they saw armed men constantly heading towards that place, and they were armed men in different clothes.
Coupled with the people who fled, the local people must know the specific situation immediately, so they will make a choice immediately. If a large number of refugees escape from there, it is most likely that a fight is about to begin.
Dayong was a little sentimental. He looked at the place full of artillery fire and said, "You said how desperate the local civilians must be. Once a fight breaks out, those people will be hurt the most."
"This is normal. This is the only way they can live in this war-torn country, so escaping is the best choice."
Qin Yuan said very calmly, as if he was used to it. This place was just an example. This was the case in other countries where he had participated in battlefields, including peacekeeping missions.
"Don't think so much. Take a good rest now. There is very little we can do, but I can guarantee our safety and the safety of our people, only if you are strong enough."
Qin Yuan added a few more firewood to the fire, and the fire burned instantly. It was really so hot on that side even though they were hundreds of kilometers apart.
This war lasted until dawn, and Chen Ou couldn't sleep no matter what. Only then did he remember what Qin Yuan had said before, asking them to get used to it.
After the sky fully opened and the sun rose, Li Erniu stood up, stretched, yawned, and discussed with Qin Zhengyang next to him what he had dreamed about last night.
"The artillery fire last night was really intense. It made me feel like I was back during the Chinese New Year. I dreamed that my mother made dumplings for me."
"Brother Erniu, my aunt's dumplings are really delicious. Let's go to your house to eat them after we go back."
"No problem. After this mission is over and we return, we will go to my house to play. There is a tourist development zone in my house. It's pretty good. People in the city go there to play."
Chen Ou watched their calm discussion from the side, wondering whether they were in the same space as him. The situation yesterday was too intense.
He couldn't fall asleep lying on the ground. He could feel the intensity of the battle and the whole earth was shaking.
Under such circumstances, he was a little surprised that all the members of the red blood cell team were able to sleep peacefully. Compared to here, all of his team members had dark circles under their eyes and hardly slept at all.
"Okay, everyone is ready. Let's go now. We probably won't be able to fight until night. There won't be any big conflicts during the day, but we still have to be careful."
After saying his wish, he patted the car door and got directly into the car. Several other people followed him first. In this way, they passed through the small town in front of them. According to the instructions on the map, it was more than two hours away. That should be the time.
Originally, Chen Ou thought he was going to abandon the vehicle and leave from behind, but Qin Yuan felt that the vehicle was still necessary. If it was too slow to just rely on that kind of movement, he was not saying that he was slow, but that Chen Ou was slow. It's too slow over there.
When passing through the town, Qin Yuan went directly to a store. The boss looked nervous, but when he saw that it was a foreigner, he was instantly relieved.
"Boss, get us some bulletproof vests, remember to get the best ones."
This place sells some tactical equipment, but there are no guns. These guns are strictly controlled by the local armed forces. There are only some bulletproof vests and bulletproof equipment, which are used by local civilians to protect themselves. of.
It's quite sad to say that the boss himself wears two sets. Relatively speaking, although life is very difficult, he still has to go on and maintain his business under such circumstances.
Just when he was willing to choose, two more people came in to buy bulletproof vests, but the price offered by the boss was indeed quite high.
What should have come in was a mother and daughter, both wearing black veils. They were bargaining with the boss, but the boss was obviously impatient.
"If you can't afford it, get out of here. Don't delay my business here. Do you know how high the price is now? It's the most merciful thing for me to sell it to you at this price."
Qin Yuan listened to the boss's price and found out that the mother and daughter were both at the most common bulletproof level. This type only meant that shooting from a long distance would have a certain bulletproof effect. If the distance was closer, it would be useless at all.
The price the boss sells is indeed not very high. For two sets, the price converted to their price is about three to four hundred, but it is really very expensive for this mother and daughter.
In this war-torn place, everything is rising. The price of this body armor is more expensive than rice.
Standing nearby, an older woman shakily took out a handful of change from her pocket. After counting carefully, she found 170 yuan, and begged the boss to sell her one.
Qin Yuan couldn't bear to see this scene, so he directly handed her the two sets of bulletproof vests he bought.
"Take it and use it. Others can't help you much. I just hope you can be safe."
The woman was so moved when she heard this that she kept thanking her with tears in her eyes, and the girl next to her also quickly bowed. When Dayong and the others saw it later, they also felt that Qin Yuan seemed either so unkind at times, or that he might have had his own reasons for doing things before.
Anyway, they were all willing to give money, and the boss didn't say anything. To be honest, he really wanted to help, but in this situation, they were all poor people. How much could he help?
After paying the money, Qin Yuan and the others walked out. Li Erniu felt a little disgusted with the vest, "This bulletproof vest is what we usually use during training. It is the most basic one. The boss said that this is the highest level here."
"It would be great to have this. If you think about their current situation in the country, it would be great to have this. The rest may have been taken away by the militants."
After saying this, everyone understood. They could only put on their clothes to resist, but they didn't have any weapons in their hands now.
After passing through the town, we drove more than 50 kilometers to get there, but the road leading to that place was completely cut off by the bombing. We could already see a steady stream of civilians running out of it and moving from the place that was cut off by the bombing.
Qin Yuan looked at the situation and then looked at the map. There was indeed no way to go around for more than 50 kilometers. It was not too far, and they would still be relatively fast on foot.
Chen Ou also walked down. If he drove any further, he would probably run out of gas. It seemed that he could only choose to go in on foot. As soon as they came down, they saw civilians climbing up from the pit. Those civilians' faces were filled with tears. Terrified and exhausted.
Everyone wanted to escape as soon as possible, but they were the only ones in the opposite direction. When Qin Yuan and the others were walking over, an old man stopped them.
"Young people, I think you should not go to that place. It's really chaotic there. Those militants don't care whether you are foreigners or not. They kill everyone they see. It's an extreme attitude."
"Old man, don't worry. Thank you for reminding us. We are definitely going to that place, but they should leave it alone during the day."
"That said, things are different at night. We managed to escape from that place, so I want to tell you."
After saying that, the old man continued to walk forward. Qin Yuan took out a few pieces of money from his arms and put them in his hand. The old man thanked him repeatedly.
