After two days of continuous hard work, all the injured have received effective treatment.

At this time, dawn was breaking, and Wen Ruan and Jiang Yan leaned against each other for a short rest.

For the past few days, Wen Ruan and Andy have been staying at the temporary rescue site to help out, as they are waiting for Professor Oliver's return.

These days, the impact on Wen Ruan is far greater than what he has faced in the previous decades...

Innocent children, desperate cries, corpses swallowed by the smoke of battle, women sobbing uncontrollably, and the involuntary rush to their deaths... these images kept replaying in Wen Ruan's mind...

Before going to sleep, Wen Ruan silently prayed, hoping that Lady Luck would smile upon this poor country...

In about five or six days, news came from the front that, with the support of all parties and pressure on the local area, a special area would be designated to establish a refugee camp.

Local refugees can be transferred there as soon as possible to ensure their safety.

Professor Oliver also returned from the front, and Wen Ruan and Andy needed to go back to the previous location to meet him.

"Jiang Yan, I have to go back to my old camp now. Take good care of yourself." Upon receiving the news, Wen Ruan went to Jiang Yan to say goodbye as soon as possible.

"Yes, you too. Take good care of yourself. I believe we'll meet again soon, and maybe even again after we return to China. Remember to write to me." After saying this, Jiang Yan quickly took out a card from his bag, wrote down his address in China, and handed it to Wen Ruan.

Jiang Yan is in her final year of doctoral studies this year, Wen Ruan had heard her say before that she would be going back later.

Wen Ruan reached out and took it, glancing at it briefly. It was an address in Gangcheng. She was somewhat shocked that Jiang Yan was actually from Gangcheng, because her Mandarin was ridiculously good.

However, due to time constraints, they didn't say much, but simply carefully and properly stored the card away.

The two agreed to keep in touch later, and then hugged goodbye.

The dozen or so soldiers who came with Wen Ruan and Andy would also return to their previous camp today, so they all said goodbye to the people at the temporary relief site.

"Thank you so much for coming. God bless you." Everyone offered their blessings to Wen Ruan and her companions, saw them off to their car, and waved goodbye until the vehicle disappeared from sight.

Wen Ruan and the others kept waving, saying, "God will protect you too..." Wen Ruan had always considered herself a staunch materialist, but here, she hoped that God truly existed, could see the suffering brought by war, and could bring it to an end...

Everyone was sitting in the truck bed. The road conditions were bad, very bumpy, and dust was everywhere, but no one cared about anything else. They were all exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep in the truck bed.

...

"Oh, my dear students, how have you been lately?" Wen Ruan and the others had just returned to the camp and jumped off the vehicle when they saw Oliver come out to greet them, opening his arms to hug each of them.

“We’re doing well, Professor, how are you?” Wen Ruan and Andy returned Oliver’s hug and asked with concern.

"It's alright, but the situation ahead is a bit complicated. Fortunately, the interplay of various forces has created some space for these innocent civilians to survive."

"They will be transferred to a specific area, which might be called a refugee camp, and we will be with them."

"Afterwards, I will take the two of you to accompany some officials to attend and observe some meetings."

“Now you can get ready…” Oliver told the two about the later arrangements.

Wen and Ruan nodded to indicate that they had received it.

The three of them then huddled together to discuss what had happened to them during the days they had been apart. Whether as the narrator or the listener, Wen Ruan felt very heavy-hearted.

In the end, all three of them let out a long sigh.

"Don't worry, little ones, things will take a turn for the better, won't they?" Oliver wanted to put the two of them at ease.

"Really?" Wen Ruan murmured softly, in a voice only she could hear...

The three waited for a while, and the soldiers in the camp quickly began to take corresponding actions.

Due to communication limitations, notifications could only be made manually. Wen Ruan and Andy also joined in, preparing to search for refugees in the surrounding area and transfer them to refugee camps.

"I wonder if Little Leo has received this news yet. He and his sister can move to a relatively safe place..."

When Wen Ruan was briefing the soldiers on the news, she saw many suffering local residents, but she couldn't find Little Leo, which made her a little worried.

After Wen Ruan and the soldiers had searched the entire area, but still hadn't seen Little Leo, Wen Ruan suddenly became anxious.

Thinking back to our last meeting, it should be not far from that school, but when I searched just now, I still couldn't find it.

After Wen Ruan told Andy, she prepared to go look for it on her own again, but Andy said he would go with her.

"Leo! Leo! Where are you?!" Wen Ruan shouted loudly in the vicinity of the elementary school, but unfortunately no one responded...

The two searched here for almost an hour, but found nothing.

"Wen, should we go to the meeting point and ask?" Andy suddenly thought of something and suggested directly.

"Okay, let's go ask."

The two quickly arrived at the meeting point.
