Marian looked away stubbornly. She didn't care about Ryan's look.

But I still muttered in my heart: Why is China going crazy for no reason? It's just a few piglets dying. In our empire, it's normal for 1,800 people to die every day. Is there any need to make such a big fuss?

So she turned to the mercenary who had contacted her and asked, "How far are we from the coastline? How long will it take to reach it?"

It was obvious that Marianne was nervous when she asked this question.

When she was attacked at Ne Win's place, she was just affected, not targeted, so she naturally had a lucky mentality.

After being rescued by Ryan, my first reaction was: I want revenge, I want to kill people, I want to show my power.

But now, China's revenge has arrived as promised, and it is clearly targeted at her, so she is somewhat afraid.

Glancing at his heroine, the mercenary replied, "If nothing goes wrong with the plane, two hours would be enough to reach the coastline. It's a bit difficult right now."

After the mercenary finished speaking, he looked towards the sky worriedly. Before leaving, he only said that he was going to bring people back to his country, and there might be conflicts.

It turned out that I was deceived. How could this be possible? The missiles were deployed to me and the enemy was coming with great force. What the hell had happened? What the hell had this woman done?

After thinking about it, the mercenary couldn't help but turn around and look at the heroine, and his eyes met Marianne's.

"I still have help!" Marian seemed to have thought of something, took out her phone and dialed a mysterious number.

Soon, the call was connected.

In the middle, Marian rarely bowed her head to admit her mistake. It seems that this call was made to an elder.

Then Ryan noticed that Marianne's eyes began to dim, as if she had been severely reprimanded.

When the cursing on the other end of the phone faded, a sudden voice reminded: "I'll deal with you when I come back!"

After hanging up the phone, Marian's distraught eyes revealed a sense of relief.

Although he was scolded, he still received help from his family.

General Ryan couldn't help but sigh: This is the benefit of having a big tree to lean on!

"Concentrate your firepower to cover your retreat and wait for reinforcements!" Marian's tone was a little unhappy, and she became silent after giving the order.

The elder only agreed to give it a try. He didn't say what the reinforcements would be, and Marian didn't ask.

The time she spends waiting for the call will be the most painful time for her.

The humid and sultry rainforest is like a huge green maze, filled with a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

The sunlight struggled to penetrate the layers of leaves, casting tiny spots of light on the ground.

This place was originally a paradise for life, but now it has become a cruel battlefield.

Marian and her group left most of the mercenaries behind to cover their retreat, while the rest, led by General Ryan, took refuge in the rainforest.

I have to say that General Ryan is a guy with a military mind. The dense forest is so complicated that it is impossible to walk. High-tech weapons can only sigh in despair when facing such terrain.

Marian sneaked into the rainforest quietly, carrying heavy equipment and walking cautiously.

Deep in this mysterious and vast rainforest, Marian was moving her feet with difficulty.

Her hair stuck to her face, wet from a mixture of sweat and rain, and had long lost its original smoothness and neatness.

Her face was covered in dirt and scratches from branches, and streaks of blood stood out against her pale skin.

His originally bright eyes were now filled with fatigue and fear, his gaze wandering, always alert to possible dangers around him.

Her clothes had long been torn to shreds by thorns and branches, and her exposed skin was covered with red, swollen abrasions and lumps from mosquito bites.

With every step she took, the wounds would be rubbed, causing a piercing pain, but she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Fleeing deep into the rainforest, this suffering is only the beginning.

Soon, the heavy backpack seemed to become a mountain, pressing her down so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

The backpack contained her daily necessities, including cosmetics, a change of clothes, a large amount of snacks, a power bank and military satellite communications.

Unless she changes her mysophobia and narcissism, she will have to bear this burden forever.

General Ryan is a local and is responsible for guiding the group, telling them how to clear a path through the rainforest and destroy all traces left behind to prevent Shangguan Zai from tracking and hunting them down.

The five mercenaries who followed her were all armed and had to monitor Marian's safety, so she had to carry her backpack by herself.

If she hadn't tortured and killed the Chinese hostage, she would have returned to the United Empire by now, and I wouldn't have to suffer with her, General Ryan thought with gritted teeth.

An hour later, the straps dug deep into Marianne's shoulders, leaving purple marks.

The road beneath her feet was muddy and slippery, and her shoes were already covered with thick mud. It took a huge effort to lift her feet every time.

If she wasn't careful, she would fall deep into the quagmire and would have to struggle desperately to pull her legs out, and the ordeal left her exhausted.

The stifling heat of the rainforest made it almost impossible for her to breathe, and the air was filled with the smell of corruption and thick humidity.

Marianne gasped for breath, but the air she inhaled felt hot, burning her throat.

Suddenly, a giant spider dropped from a branch and landed right in front of her.

Marianne screamed in terror and waved her arms frantically, trying to drive away the uninvited guest.

In this shock, she lost her balance and fell to the ground, and the items in her backpack were scattered all over the floor.

She looked around in despair, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ryan glanced at the tiger girl, turned around and helped her up. As for the scattered items, no one paid attention to them.
