Chapter 592 Second Breakthrough

Outside the corridor, Liang He and the others rushed over, following in Wen Ni's footsteps.

As they approached Wen Ni, their steps slowed down in unison, their shock and astonishment beyond words!

This girl...

Like warriors who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they inspire admiration, fear, and...heartache and pity!

"What...is this?" Meixuan stared blankly at the name tag in Wen Ni's palm. The answer was obvious, but she still asked.

“Those beasts.” Wen Ni lowered her eyes slightly. “Those who bullied you, I killed them all! Not a single one survived. Now, they have received the punishment they deserved. I have kept my promise to you, and you must keep yours to me… Live well, live on, okay?”

From the moment Wen Ni uttered her first word, Mei Xuan and Wang Wen's eyes were already brimming with tears!

When those affirmative and certain words were spoken in such a calm and gentle tone, their shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and they burst into tears!

While crying, Meixuan rolled off the bed, ignoring the excruciating pain in her lower body and the trembling weakness in her legs. She scrambled to Wen Ni's side and hugged her tightly.

"Wen Ni, I thought... I thought you were just saying that to comfort me, to lie to me! How could you... how could you really go to such a dangerous place alone and kill them all!? How are you? Are you hurt?"

"How could I not get hurt? But Meixuan, even though I'm covered in wounds, I still survived." Wen Ni smiled, gently hugged Meixuan back, and patted her back. "See, nothing can kill me, nothing can kill us! If we have wounds, we'll sew them up, heal them, and as long as they stop bleeding, we can still stand up! We can still look forward to tomorrow's sunrise. Because in this world, there are still people we want to see, people we want to love with all our might. No one can kill us, and we shouldn't give up on ourselves, okay?"

These words are truly moving.

Wen Ni was covered in blood, yet she still stood there, just to win back the hearts of Mei Xuan and Wang Wen, who had died!

“I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy… You did all this for me… Wen Ni, I’m not worthy!” Mei Xuan sobbed, clutching Wen Ni’s blood-stained sleeve tightly.

“When I first came to the Fifth Brigade, everyone only had doubts and suspicions about me. At that time, you were the first person to be kind to me. You bandaged my wounds, and you told me with a smile that I should always keep a bright heart facing the rising sun in the face of anything and any situation. I hope you can still be like that, because when the sun rises, all the gloom will dissipate.” Wen Ni’s words were sincere and earnest.

"I will, I will! I understand, Wen Ni, I won't do anything foolish! I understand, Wang Wen and I will live well! We will fight alongside you until the very last moment, and never give up!" Mei Xuan's heart, which had been chilled to the bone, was warmed again.

"Um."

Wen Ni smiled again.

"That's wonderful..."

After saying this, Wen Ni, who had been standing there stiffly, finally seemed to have completed her mission, and with all the strength she had been holding on, she fell straight backward!

"Wen Ni, Wen Ni!?"

Qin Yuan and Liang He, who had stopped behind, quickly stepped forward and each supported Wen Ni's body. The moment she fell, she closed her eyes, her breathing became steady, and she had simply fallen asleep!

She was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Winnie slept exceptionally soundly and deeply that night.

When she woke up, the platform was already high up, and she could clearly hear a series of noises coming from the open space outside!

It seems that the officers and sergeants had a dispute.

She slowly sat up, her wounds wrapped in layers of clean gauze, which were coated with ointment, filling the room with a strong smell of medicine.

She put on her dirty boots and walked to the door. The words spoken by the people outside were clear to her.

"We now have less than 1,000 men, including the wounded. But because we have spread out and are scattered throughout Fuping City, the Burmese soldiers cannot find our exact whereabouts yet. But if they start searching every street, we will have nowhere to hide!" An officer said in a slightly somber tone, "I don't know if we can wait until reinforcements arrive."

“We might not be able to wait that long… Look, the chief of staff and the others went to fetch reinforcements. Judging by their approximate pace, they should have just arrived in Yancheng by now. It will take at least two or three days for the reinforcements to reach Fuping. We have less than 1,000 men in total, and some of them are even wounded! Forget about escaping the city-wide search; if we encounter even a small enemy squad, we'll probably be wiped out!” An officer was also very disheartened.

The current situation is indeed unfavorable to them!

"Moreover, we just received news that the scouts have reported back that the Burmese tank corps has been completely redeployed. They have no intention of caring about the lives of the remaining Burmese civilians in the city and are very likely to launch a full-scale bombing campaign in order to eliminate us as soon as possible!"

"We are just mortals, how can we possibly stand against that steel behemoth? Right now, we can neither escape nor hide!"

They are now in a dilemma.

Whether they advance or retreat, no matter how you look at it, their only outcome is certain death!

"Since things have come to this, we might as well fight them head-on. So what if we die? It's just a matter of dying sooner or later! There's nothing to be afraid of!" A military officer spoke bravely and fearlessly.

"That's right! Before we get caught and humiliated, we might as well strike first and kill as many as we can! It's better than waiting here to be slaughtered!" Immediately, someone loudly echoed in agreement!

They fought a frustrating battle, and their suppressed fighting spirit burst forth at this critical moment.

There were also conservatives who disagreed, sitting there silently shaking their heads.

"But what if we hide for a few more days? If we hide for a few more days, at least we still have hope of waiting for reinforcements to arrive. If we really rush forward and fight head-on, we will only be smashed to pieces, and in the end, nothing will be left!"

There are all sorts of opinions.

Several deputy staff officers turned to look at Liang He, who remained silent.

"Brigadier Liang, everyone has said so much, why don't you say a few words? What do you think we should do?"

"I……"

Liang He was in a very difficult position.

He is the brigade commander of the First Brigade, and every decision he makes will determine the life or death of this group of people!

He has already lost many brothers, and he doesn't want to, nor should he, lose any more...

"We definitely have to fight! But it's absolutely not the kind of fight where we all perish together!" Wen Ni, who had been listening from the shadows in the corner, suddenly stepped forward and relieved Liang He's predicament. "Brigade Commander Liang, I think that since we were able to have our chief of staff lead the team to break through once, we can do it a second time!"

"What are you planning to do?" Liang He's eyes lit up.

"Mm." Wen Ni nodded.

She knew that Liang He understood what he meant.

Or rather, this idea had been swirling in his mind for a long time, but he wasn't sure, which is why he hadn't spoken up yet!
