After Chen Yuanyuan walked to the passenger seat and sat down, she immediately felt her limbs lose strength, and her right hand that fired the gun was paralyzed by the recoil of the rifle.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Yuanyuan also took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Although it was not that he had never fired a gun before, and he had saved his life once in his previous life by picking up a pistol, this was the first time he had to fight fire like this.
"You did a great job." Xiao Yan noticed Chen Yuanyuan's emotions and encouraged him.
Although Shen Yichen also mentioned that Chen Yuanyuan and He Yuehua had certain combat capabilities, especially Chen Yuanyuan, who was definitely not worse than ordinary special forces soldiers, so he could rest assured to leave his back to them.
However, Xiao Yan had never cooperated with Chen Yuanyuan, and his combat prowess was only below average among top agents, so he made sufficient preparations for weapons before traveling.
Originally, Xiao Yan wanted Chen Yuanyuan to drive the car while he was responsible for the surrounding defense. However, he did not expect his wife's emergency, so he handed over the burden of defense to Chen Yuanyuan.
"They won't catch up in a short time, right?" Chen Yuanyuan closed her eyes and recalled the feeling just now.
"Probably not. Don't be afraid. You can be the driver later." Xiao Yan saw Chen Yuanyuan's hands trembling and thought she was afraid.
Chen Yuanyuan noticed Xiao Yan's eyes and knew that he mistakenly thought she was afraid.
"I'm fine. I just didn't expect the power behind the rifle to be so powerful. My hands are a little numb. I'll just get used to it after firing it a few times." Chen Yuanyuan said.
Although she was really shocked by the rear resistance of the rifle at first, Chen Yuanyuan felt that she quite enjoyed the pleasure of shooting with the gun.
When driving just now, Xiao Yan was worried that Chen Yuanyuan wouldn't be able to cope, so he kept observing the pursuit of soldiers in the rearview mirror.
What he didn't expect was that Chen Yuanyuan's combat effectiveness was higher than he imagined. Although it was not an overwhelming victory, she was still able to handle the situation with outnumbered enemies. It was hard to imagine that Chen Yuanyuan was just an ordinary citizen.
"Okay, we can just change shifts when you're tired." Xiao Yan said.
Chen Yuanyuan was thinking of looking around in the back seat when suddenly Grandma He walked to the front and bumped into Chen Yuanyuan who had just stood up.
"Grandma He, you are driving, be careful and steady." Chen Yuanyuan said, holding Grandma He's arm.
"Little brother, your wife vomited and she seems to be uncomfortable." Grandma He said.
"What happened?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"She seems to be motion sick, and pregnant women can't take medicine randomly." Grandma He also experienced the pain of pregnancy. Although pregnant women in her era had to go to the fields to do farm work, they didn't have to travel and travel hard. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Cheng Lingxiang.
Cheng Lingxiang's pregnancy reaction was already very strong, but now she had symptoms of threatened abortion. The noise and bumps when she threw away the pursuers just now made her body even more uncomfortable.
Cheng Lingxiang didn't want to hinder everyone's schedule, so she asked He Yuehua not to tell them and just give her some motion sickness medicine.
But He Yuehua didn't dare to let the pregnant woman take medicine indiscriminately. Grandma He saw that she was having a hard time and walked to the cab.
When Xiao Yan learned about his wife's condition, his fingertips holding the steering wheel turned white with force.
Although he felt sorry for his wife, he was less than ten kilometers away from the pursuers, but now he had five lives on his shoulders, and Xiao Yan didn't know what to do.
"Is there a secluded place nearby where I can park the car?" Chen Yuanyuan could see Xiao Yan's dilemma and asked proactively.
"There is an air-raid shelter about three kilometers away. Although it is safe to go in, it is difficult to get out if it is blocked." Xiao Yan said.
"Are there any other options?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"There is a place called United Community about seven kilometers away, but" Xiao Yan hesitated.
"What happened to that community?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"The people living there are all foreigners. Because the base previously refused entry to non-Chinese people, the leaders of their community did not welcome us." Xiao Yan paused and said.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't know that the Guangdong base did not allow people other than Huaxia to enter, and she didn't pay special attention to whether there were people of other skin colors in the base before.
This also reminded her of the time when she was queuing up to enter the city. In another line of visitors entering the city, there was a boy who looked like a mixed race. He was asked by the gate staff to sing the national anthem.
Although he could still sing, the boy died on the spot and his face was as red as a cooked shrimp.
"Let's try the joint community first. If we get blocked when we go to the air raid shelter, the group will be wiped out." Chen Yuanyuan said.
Chen Yuanyuan thought that there were many foreign friends and clients in Xiangcheng at that time, and if she could meet acquaintances, there might be another chance.
"Okay, let's give it a try." After Xiao Yan said that, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the foreign community.
Ten minutes later, several people arrived near the United Community. About fifty meters away, three people came with weapons. Xiao Yan immediately stopped the car.
"Who are you?" the leading brown-haired man asked in broken Chinese.
"We want to seek help. There is a pregnant woman in our car who is feeling unwell and needs a safe place to stop." Xiao Yan rolled down the window.
"George, what is he talking about about pregnant women and their safety?" the brown-haired man asked the red-haired boy beside him.
"They seem to want to come in? Johnny, please let them in," George said.
"Are you from the Guangdong base?" Zhuang Ni tried his best to ask in Mandarin.
"Yes, we are." Xiao Yan didn't want to lie about his identity. Although he had a greater chance of getting in if he concealed his identity, it would be more dangerous if the secret was revealed.
After the brown-haired man Zhuang Ni learned that they were from the Guangdong base, he waved his hand for Chen Yuanyuan to leave.
"Sorry, our boss stipulates that we do not accept people from the Guangdong base." Zhuang Ni said with a straight face.
"But my wife..." Xiao Yan still wanted to beg for mercy.
"Sorry, please." Johnny made a farewell gesture, making it difficult for him to continue speaking.
Xiao Yan sighed and saw that there was no way to get in. When he was about to roll up the window and leave, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that there was a way to try and immediately called to stop the two foreigners who were about to leave.
"Please wait a moment, I want to give you something!" Chen Yuanyuan said in fluent English.
Although Zhuang Ni didn't have a good impression of the Guangdong Base, it was because of the base's official issues and he had no hostility towards ordinary people, so he stopped to see what was going on with Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan walked to the cabinet and took out a thick green-covered book from the corner.
After holding the book, he quickly walked to the car and faced Johnny and George.
While waiting for the bus, Xiao Yan also checked on his wife.
Cheng Lingxiang's condition improved slightly after she stopped the car, and her temporary vomiting stopped, but she still had a dull pain in her lower abdomen.
But it was still more than a hundred kilometers away from Lin Hai's village, so it was urgent to find a place to rest and protect the fetus.
I don’t know what Chen Yuanyuan said to them. After Zhuang Ni accepted the book, he gave it to George and asked him to return to the joint community.
Chen Yuanyuan also chatted with Zhuang Ni who stayed behind. Xiao Yan saw that Zhuang Ni's expression was much more relaxed than before, and he didn't know what Chen Yuanyuan did.
