The arrival of the reinforcements immediately resolved the dilemma of the medical research institution.
The rioters who originally besieged this place have all withdrawn, leaving only some barriers they had built nearby.
However, for the reinforcements with two Titans, these things are not much better than paper.
Ever since, after the reinforcements cleared the garbage at the entrance of the medical research institution, the originally trapped rescue team could leave with them.
In the view of the commander of the reinforcements, this mission was simpler than expected.
Of course, this is mainly due to their Titans and heavy mechas. Otherwise, it would still be very difficult for ordinary soldiers to break through the several obstacles set up by the rioters.
At least, those accumulated obstacles are not something that can be easily broken through in a short time by human power.
But with the Titan, they can directly use the Titan to push or forcefully remove those obstacles, which will not constitute an obstacle at all.
The commander even thought after seeing the actual effect of the Titan that in urban street fighting, such a big guy would be more useful than a tank.
This also made the commander look at the two Titans more eagerly.
Regardless of the commander's fantasies about the two Titans, the people trapped in the medical research institution began to prepare to evacuate after the reinforcements arrived.
Only the trapped personnel of the Yanguo rescue team were prepared to leave with the reinforcements, while Lucia's medical researchers expressed their intention to stay and continue to develop vaccines to deal with the epidemic.
"Sorry, we can't leave. This is our job and mission, and we have to complete it." An older woman among Lucia's medical researchers smiled at Hu Jie who suggested that they leave together, and said seriously: "As a doctor, I cannot watch a disease raging and remain indifferent. As a Lucian, I cannot watch my motherland suffer and do nothing. If I am destined to be unable to leave here, then let this be my chance. Protect my country, my people, one last time."
Looking at this woman, Hu Jie found that although they had worked together for quite some time, this was the first time she had taken a closer look at this woman who should be Lucia's eldest medical researcher.
This woman is very old, and her thin body seems to have only skin covering the bones. There is a big gap between the plump figure of the common Lucia women.
Her hair is already gray, but there are still a few strands of gold visible. It can be seen from this woman's face that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
Judging from her age, when she was young, Lucia should still be in the Suvian era. She may have truly experienced the disintegration of that red country and was a person from that era.
This makes Hu Jie somewhat understandable. After all, among those who have experienced that era, some of them have not given up their previous beliefs, ideals and love for the motherland.
The woman seemed to understand Hu Jie's expression, gave her a hug and said: "I really envy you. You have a great motherland that is worthy of your love and struggle. I once had an equally great motherland. It’s a pity she’s no longer here.”
After speaking, the woman took out a red notebook from her pocket and handed it to Hu Jie's hand.
This is a very worn red book. Its corners have been worn white, but its surface is very clean. It can be seen that it has been well cared for. The gilded text and the national emblem of Suvia are still clearly visible.
The book was very thin, but something seemed to be stuck inside. Hu Jie opened it and saw a golden medal inside. In the center of the medal was the profile of the great revolutionary mentor who founded Suvia.
"This is something I got before. I give it to you as a souvenir." After saying that, the woman hugged Hu Jie again.

The rescue team members followed the reinforcements and evacuated, but in the end all the Lucians stayed.
The Yanguo people did not persuade them to leave. After all, everyone had their own responsibilities and tasks.
Although the people from the rescue team also wanted to stay and help develop the vaccine, the country had already sent troops to rescue them, and there were also riots outside. Under such circumstances, staying here was not a suitable option.
Perhaps it is indeed important to develop a vaccine, but to stay under the current circumstances is not only irresponsible to oneself, but also to let down the country's efforts to mobilize troops from thousands of miles to rescue them.
So despite wanting to stay and help the Lucians develop a vaccine, in the end the rescue team just took away an extracted sample of the virus strain and left with the reinforcements.
However, before they left, they still pushed back the obstacles that had been cleared and sealed the entrance to the medical research institution from the outside to prevent the rioters from returning here again and causing harm to the Lucians left inside. What unnecessary trouble.
Although this is not very safe, it can at least help the people inside to persist for a while.
And the commander of the reinforcements also told the Lucians that they dug a passage from the ground. Although the passage was not dug through, at least two-thirds of the depth was still there. Although the Yanguo people would not continue digging, But it is not too difficult for the Lucians to dig the passage themselves.
On the way back, the reinforcements were originally ready to fight out again, but I don't know whether the rioters knew that they could not stop their advance or because they felt that the rescue team had already been attacked and there was no need to stop them, or because they had been attacked before. They were scared, but no one stopped them.
The reinforcements and rescue team were able to successfully leave the underground of Lucia's capital and return to the two arks.
However, because the reinforcements and rescue teams have returned from deep into the epidemic area, they all need to be quarantined and observed temporarily. After all, even if they wear fully enclosed protective clothing, there is no guarantee that they are not infected with the virus.
So for a while, even if the country has decided to evacuate people, they can't leave yet.
Although it is not impossible to be quarantined when returning to the country, this is what these people think. They do not want to bring the virus back, at least until a vaccine is developed.
After returning to the Ark, Hu Jie returned to her room, and then took out the red book and the medal given to her by the older Lucia woman, and looked at them carefully.
This is the highest medal awarded in the Soviet era to reward and commend those individuals, collectives, institutions, social groups and troops who have made outstanding contributions to socialist construction and national defense.
The reason why the elderly Lucia woman written in the red book received this medal was in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the treatment of the injured during the Chicheng incident.
She had defended her country and her people once, and now for the second time.
