Chapter 407 Waiting for Dawn

Two days later

The buses sent by the evacuation team arrived on time.

The four members of the Shadow Hunter team, plus Ya Bi, escorted a group of nearly a hundred people to their evacuation. They were orderly and got into the vehicle and left!

One level after another

Because Lu Zhenbang had informed the escort team in advance, and because the bus had the Chinese national flag on it, the evacuation went very smoothly.

Finally, before noon, we arrived at the evacuation point in the south.

"Most of the people who evacuated have already cleared the checkpoint." Dragonblade stood in front of the checkpoint. "Let's go too."

"Ya-bi, you go first." Wen Ni stepped aside. "Once you get past this last hurdle, you can return to the motherland you've been longing for!"

"I never thought I would live to see this day." Looking at the Lu Brigade and the evacuation staff waiting inside the checkpoint and in front of the bus, Ya Bi was also very excited. His eyes were slightly red and his lips trembled.

"We'll treat you to drinks when we get back!" Feng Sui put his arm around Ya Bi's shoulder and walked forward. "Let me tell you, things have changed so much in China now. You don't even need to carry cash anymore. Just tap your phone and the money's gone!"

"Really? That's amazing? Even the Burmese don't have that."

Of course~

"Wait a minute." At the checkpoint, the supervisor of the guard team responsible for checking documents suddenly spoke up. He held Ya Bi's documents and looked him up and down several times. "I recognize you. Aren't you a junior leader of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce? When did you become a Chinese citizen?"

"Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce?"

These four words attracted the attention of the other guards!

The Fu Yuan Chamber of Commerce is now under the control of the Dawa rebels and is an enemy of the guard. How could they possibly let him go so easily?

"Brother, there's a misunderstanding here!" Feng Sui's expression hardened as he stepped forward to explain, "He is indeed a Chinese citizen, with all his documents and paperwork in order. If you still have doubts, let us through customs first, and we can call your supervisor out in a bit to explain things properly to you!"

"No, we can't release them without a clear explanation." The guard supervisor's attitude was firm.

What should we do?

The expressions of the group froze, and they were at a loss for what to do.

Wen Ni used her passport and other documents to pass through customs first.

She first went to Captain Lu to retrieve her bag, and then stood in front of the supervisor.

"Although Ya-bi was once a member of the Chamber of Commerce, he never had a direct conflict with you, and many things were never handled by him. His decision to leave now is because he was intimidated by the imposing presence of the guards, and thus chose to abandon the darkness and turn back to the light!"

At this point, Wen Ni lowered her head and quickly pulled out a silver-black internationally accepted bank card from her bag, stuffing it directly into the supervisor's pocket!

"Given the circumstances, we hope you, Supervisor, can make an exception!"

"Um……"

The supervisor's eyebrows twitched.

He reached into his pocket and rubbed the bank card.

After a moment, he cleared his throat and waved his hand.

"Get out of here, get out of my way. Let me tell you, if he weren't Chinese, I would never have let him leave today!"

"Yes, thank you, supervisor."

Wen Ni nodded slightly.

He turned his head and winked at Fengsui and the others!

"Sure enough, no matter what, money is always the fastest and best way to solve problems!" Feng Sui couldn't help but laugh.

Leng Feng glanced at him and said, "Alright, hurry up and finish the level. The civil war situation is tense right now. If you don't hurry up and leave, who knows what might happen next!"

"Leng Feng, you'd better not say anything." Long Ren had already cleared the level and entered the "I'm really afraid of your jinxed mouth."

"It's right that you're afraid, I..."

"Bang!"

A bullet suddenly struck the checkpoint gate!

Everyone was taken aback.

"Enemy attack! Get to the gate quickly!" Wen Ni reacted swiftly, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Leng Feng! Fengsui! Ya Bi! Did you hear me!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!"

The staff at the turnstile stopped checking people and started letting them in, while they began closing the border gate!

Leng Feng and Feng Sui squeezed in and fell to the ground.

The sounds of increasingly intense gunfire came from behind!

"Yabi, where's Yabi!"

Wen Ni struggled to push aside the people blocking her way.

She rushed to the front, but was blocked by a wall of guards!

"The gate will be closed soon." The guard supervisor's voice was deep. "There's nothing I can do about those who can't get in."

"Hey kid! Hurry! The sluice gate is about to close!"

In sight, Ya Bi not only didn't move forward, but actually took a few steps back, and was still making the most of the time to push women and children from other countries into the checkpoint!

But behind them were Dawa rebels firing their guns!

Wen Ni's breathing stopped.

"Sister, sister!"

A familiar, youthful voice.

It caused Wen Ni's heart to stop completely.

She stiffly shifted her gaze to the iron gate that had just closed its last crack, and there stood a small, dusty five-year-old girl...

"Hales!"

"Bang bang bang bang!!!!"

There was absolutely no time for anyone to react.

Bullets rained down like a storm!

Ya-bi, who had failed to enter the pass, suddenly raised his head and pounced, embracing little Halle in his arms!

"Bang! Bang bang!"

Three sprays of blood spurted from Ya Bi's waist and back!

A mouthful of blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth.

But he stood firm, relying on his strong willpower, and did not fall. He even lifted Halley in his arms and, with all his might, raised her to the top of the iron gate, which was taller than a person!

"Kill a thousand! Quickly!" he roared, both painful and stubborn.

"Ya Bi!!"

With bloodshot eyes, Wen Ni and Leng Feng pushed through the wall of guards without hesitation and rushed to the iron gate!

She grabbed the iron gate railing with one hand, stepped on the arms her brothers had set up for her, and used the momentum to leap up onto the gate!

He peeked out and grabbed Halle's arm!

"elder sister!"

"Hold on tight to me!"

Wen Ni suddenly pulled back, dragging little Halley back inside the iron gate!

The bullets bounced and struck the iron gate with a ping-pong sound.

Lu Zhenbang rushed forward and took Hallece from him.

Wen Ni turned around, still wanting to save Ya Lu.

But Feng Sui grabbed his arm tightly!

"Let me go! I'm going to get Ya-bi!"

"Boss..."

"I told you to let go! Don't you understand?!" Wen Ni's voice was hoarse, and large tears welled up in her eyes!

"She can't be saved, boss!" Long Ren grabbed her hand, which she was desperately trying to break free, his voice trembling with tears, "She can't be saved, she can't be saved..."

"What, can't be saved?"

Large tears streamed down her face.

Wen Ni turned her head and looked at Ya Bi, who was kneeling on the ground outside the iron gate, one hand gripping the railing tightly.

Blood flowed like a river beneath him, his eyes wide open, staring at the land he longed to return to, a hundred meters beyond the border...

"Cen, Meng, En!"

The tears that had been welling up in her eyes suddenly fell.

Wen Ni strained her voice, calling out Ya Lu's real name one last time. Each word seemed to have drained all her strength!

The birds on the branches scattered in all directions.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky.

The heroic souls, separated from their homeland by only one gate, could never return to their native soil, nor wait for the dawn...

We can finally go home.

Welcome home, our heroes!

All those beautiful wishes and expectations of the past have turned into colorful, elusive bubbles, extinguished by the smoke of war.

Inside the iron gate.

Outside the iron gate.

It's become two completely different worlds!

"The Dawa rebels are here!" the guards suddenly shouted in panic.
