Seeing Sun Hongxin at the gate, Ruan Ruan felt a little relieved. She was afraid that the person with her was someone she didn't know, and that would be a real nightmare to work with.

"You must return safely; I'll be waiting for you here."

Commander Gu didn't say anything, he just patted his niece on the head and let them set off.

Afterwards, it took them a day and a night to reach the border and find the boundary marker.

"Battalion Commander Sun, take your men and check the surrounding area first, be very careful." After saying this to Sun Hongxin, Ruan Ruan walked alone towards the boundary marker with her bag on her back.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? We can't go any further ahead!" Seeing Ruan Ruan's movements, Sun Hongxin immediately stepped forward and pulled her back.

"Why not?" Ruan Ruan didn't say anything about Sun Hongxin's action of pulling her, but simply moved her arm slightly to make him let go of her.

He immediately apologized, saying, "Sorry, it's an international regulation that we can't cross this boundary marker."

"The rule is that you can't cross this boundary marker, not me, understand?" Ruan Ruan emphasized "you" and "me" heavily, then looked at Sun Hongxin.

Regardless of whether he understood or not, Ruan Ruan didn't say anything more to him and went about her business, carrying her tools and wandering through the forest outside the boundary marker.

Seeing Ruan Ruan's soft back and understanding the meaning behind her words, Sun Hongxin immediately went to do his own thing.

Using the pliers in their hands, it took them most of the day to dismantle all the explosives in this forest. It can only be said that the people who buried the explosives thought they wouldn't be able to find them, so they buried them very carelessly. The fuses were obvious at a glance. But it's good that they buried them carelessly. Looking at the mountain of explosives on the ground, if there had been enough time, Ruan Ruan would have liked to bury them back one by one.

"Sister-in-law, what should we do with these?" Sun Hongxin now regards Ruan Ruan as his pillar of support. If she hadn't come, even if they knew about the explosives outside the boundary marker, they couldn't cross the boundary to dismantle them.

Looking at all that explosives, Ruan Ruan felt that it would be a real shame not to use any of them, given that they had come all this way.

She took a bag from the soldier, filled it about halfway, and said, "Pack the rest of it and take it back. After that, wait here and keep watch on your surroundings. I'll go meet them up ahead." With that, she slung the bag over her shoulder and rushed off.

After Ruan Ruan left, Sun Hongxin left some people to keep watch in place, while he led his men to circle the forest.

Ruan Ruan ran for an hour before stopping. She was so tired that she climbed up a big tree to rest and casually contacted the system.

"Bai Ze, where are you fighting now?"

"Master, we'll reach the border in half a day. Master, are you coming to pick us up?" Bai Ze checked his and Ruan Ruan's location and, seeing that she was only a few dozen kilometers away, asked happily.

"Yes, tell Huo Haocheng that there were explosives planted along their retreat route. We've defused some of them, but I suspect there might be another ambush along the way. Tell them to be careful, and I'll be there to support them."

If the island nation is determined to ensure that Huo Haocheng and his team never return, it's not as simple as just planting explosives on the border. If it were her, she would definitely set up an ambush for them along the way. Only in this way can she cause them to panic. Even if Huo Haocheng and his team are capable, they are with more than a dozen weak and disabled people who can't even kill a chicken. Even if she plays psychological warfare, she can keep them here.

After thinking it through and getting some rest, Ruan Ruan took out her sniper rifle from behind her back, circled around to the left, and slowly approached. As she expected, there was a sniper lying in ambush in the ravine ahead. She used the scope to observe the surroundings and, after confirming that there was no one else, she slowly crept over, pulled out a dagger from her calf, and before the sniper could react, she had slashed his neck.

After that, she disguised herself as someone lying in ambush and continued to sneak forward.

An hour later, she stopped behind a small hill where she had just used the wind to drug two shifts of people. She quickly stabbed each of them in the neck and then sat down to rest.

Judging by Huo Haocheng and the others' travel time, they shouldn't be far from her.

"Bai Ze, let's see how far we are?" Having just given birth, Ruan Ruan overestimated herself; only two hours had passed, and her body was already exhausted.

"Master, it's still an hour's journey between us," Bai Ze said, perched on Huo Haocheng's shoulder, checking the distance between them.

"Okay, tell Huo Haocheng to be careful of the woods on the left, and if possible, to go to the right." After hearing that they would meet in an hour, Ruan Ruan decided to rest on the spot. She really couldn't walk anymore. She would rest for an hour first, and then walk back for two hours.

With Bai Ze relaying the message, Huo Haocheng led his men off the main route and headed to the right front. He also had Bai Sirui lead a team to watch the left, while he himself led the team in front, and Deng Yi led his men to protect the researchers in the middle.

This made the people who were originally lying in ambush on the left suspect that Huo Haocheng had discovered something, but they thought to themselves that they had people on both sides and were not worried that Huo Haocheng and his men could escape from their grasp.

Because of their arrogance, with Bai Ze as a scout, Huo Haocheng and his men easily eliminated the people lying in ambush ahead.

By the time they realized what was happening and caught up, Huo Haocheng had already met with Ruan Ruan.

After resting enough, Ruan Ruan set up her sniper rifle on the hill and moved enemy corpses over for cover.

When Huo Haocheng and his group arrived, she opened fire on the people behind them without hesitation, gunshots flying into their heads, while those who were shooting at her were shooting at their own comrades.

With Ruan Ruan joining the team, Bai Si Rui and his group worked together to wipe out all the pursuers.

"daughter in law"

"Take it"

After the two met, Ruan Ruan threw the bag of explosives next to her to Ge Xiaotian.

"Ge Xiaotian, to the left, throw!"

Upon hearing Ruan Ruan's shout, Ge Xiaotian grabbed the explosives from the bag and threw them out.

"Boom, boom, boom"

After a few explosions, a small mushroom cloud rose, and all the people lying in ambush on the right were blown up.

After that, Ruan Ruan told Ge Xiaotian to throw the guns, and he did so. Ruan Ruan, along with her brother and sister Ruan Shaoke, stayed behind to replenish the guns.

When she reached the spot where the sniper had been lying in ambush, she picked up the gun and threw it to Su Yanqiu.

Until they returned to the border.

Sun Hongxin had already wiped out all the people lying in ambush within the boundary. Only when he saw them return did he feel relieved.

"Commander Huo, welcome back safely."

Thank you.

Between comrades, no unnecessary words are needed.

After getting on the bus, Sun Hongxin arranged for someone to prepare water and some food for them, and then they started heading back.
