He extended his divine sense, searching for Wang Shuai and the others. In a valley, he found the bodies of two soldiers, and Wang Shuai and the others struggling to hold on. Xu Chen quickly sped up, shouting into the minibus, "Li Hua, come with me to support Wang Shuai! Jump on!"
Li Hua rolled onto the car in one swift motion, only to realize that he hadn't taken his gun. He intended to tell Xu Chen in the driver's seat, but when he turned around, he found a pile of guns in the car.
"Li Yuan, Li Hua and I are going to support Wang Shuai. Keep an eye on things. Once we get the students to the embassy, turn around and meet up with the energy company's team."
"yes!"
Xu Chen floored the accelerator in his truck, overtook the bus, and sped into the valley beside the road. He climbed to a high point and surveyed the situation, spotting several snipers on the opposite hillside. He quickly eliminated them, then moved with Li Hua to Wang Shuai's side.
"Colonel, they've surrounded us!" Wang Shuai was in a sorry state, his left arm bleeding profusely.
"Don't worry, I brought a backpack full of ammunition. Let's use it all up! Let's try to draw the attention of these terrorists to us." Watching the terrorists attacking down the hillside, Xu Chen kept reloading and firing, also using a rocket launcher to attract the attention of enemy troops in the distance, ensuring the safety of the minibus. Once the minibus disappeared from sight, Xu Chen, along with Wang Shuai and the others, carried the bodies of two soldiers down the hill from the other side.
"Wang Shuai, we're running low on bullets. Keep an eye out for ammunition along the way, fight our way out, and get into the city as quickly as possible."
Hours later, Xu Chen, along with several soldiers and two corpses, made his way into the city and took refuge in the embassy.
"Let's start the roll call! Wang Shuai, Li Hua, Li Yuan, here's the roster." Xu Chen tossed them the roster, stared at the two soldiers' corpses, and remained silent for a long time.
"Report, everyone has arrived!"
"Get in the car! Let's get to the airport right away."
In Kunming, Yunnan Province, everyone who had returned to their motherland either kissed the ground or hugged each other and wept as they disembarked from the plane. After Xu Chen led his team off the plane, everyone looked at them.
"Thank you, thank you, soldiers!" the rescued people shouted in unison.
"We want to know your name!" The students surrounded Xu Chen, hoping to know the name of the soldier who led the team that saved them, but Xu Chen waved his hand.
“The ones who deserve to be remembered most are not me, but them.” Xu Chen pointed to the two corpses on the stretcher, and everyone fell silent. Afterwards, escorted by the police, some bought tickets in Kunming and flew back to their hometowns, some were given counseling by psychologists, and some went directly to the hospital by ambulance for medical checkups.
Before he could even greet his comrades in the local area, Xu Chen led his team onto the transport plane that had come to pick them up and flew to Beijing.
As soon as they got off the plane, everyone's faces tensed up. Tang Tiancheng first patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, then took off his military cap and saluted the two fallen soldiers. The whole audience stood and observed three minutes of silence.
"Their families have arrived in the capital. What a fine bastard! He saved so many of our citizens at the cost of only two lives."
"Still not good enough!" Xu Chen looked expressionlessly at the two people being dragged away.
Tang Tiancheng handed him a cigarette, and the two lit it and began to puff away.
“I will pay part of their death benefits, one million each, and another house for each of them.”
"Chairman Xu is a man of great wisdom and understanding, and I admire him greatly," Tang Tiancheng said, moved.
"I felt both a sense of righteousness and guilt. I was thinking, if my arrangements had been more reasonable, would they have survived?"
"Don't blame yourself, you've done enough."
"What are you standing there for? Go get checked out if you need to, get treatment if you need to, and once you're all better, hurry back to the base for training." Xu Chen didn't respond to Tang Tiancheng, but turned to look at the team members behind him and shouted loudly.
"Yes!" The crowd dispersed, and the doctors who were waiting nearby also gathered around.
"Let's go, Mr. Tang, I have to go to class. I'll hitch a ride with your car today."
"The cigarettes are in the trunk."
"Old Tang is awesome!"
"You brat, there are so many people here." Tang Tiancheng quickly got into the car, afraid that Xu Chen would embarrass him.
That night, Xu Chen and Wang Li raised their glasses in celebration.
"Chenchen, if you keep doing this, I'm not going to talk to you anymore." Wang Li took a sip of her drink and turned her head away from Xu Chen.
"What's wrong, Lili?"
"What husband goes on a long trip without telling his wife? You're truly one of a kind!"
"Lili, look!" Xu Chen took out a USB flash drive, which contained a record of the entire process of his trip.
"This is?"
"Shall we watch the footage from North Africa together?"
"Okay, okay!" Although Wang Li wasn't interested in gunfights, the thrill of gunfights was universal, regardless of gender.
A few minutes later, Xu Chen finished cleaning up the dishes, drew the curtains, turned on the projector, and opened the two-day recording that Xiao Bai had condensed into three hours. Wasn't he afraid of leaks? With Xiao Bai around, even the most astute hacker couldn't break into his device.
"Oh, are those terrorists?"
"Yes, they kill without hesitation. We had just arrived, and as soon as we got off the plane, we heard the news that they had beheaded a thief."
"Ahhh, he's been shot!" Wang Li covered her eyes, and through her fingers she saw that Li Yuan, who was rushing through the checkpoint, had been shot.
"This kid's body is different from ordinary people, so being shot won't have too much of an impact on him."
"Wow, Chenchen, this scenery is so beautiful!" Wang Li looked at the desert and sunset in the video. "With the smoke of gunpowder in the background, it has a kind of desolate and majestic charm."
"Lili, it looks even better here!" Xu Chen zoomed out the video a little, and then the entire screen was filled with the starry sky. "This is the North African starry sky, isn't it beautiful, Lili? I took this picture especially for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, Chenchen." Wang Li looked at the starry night sky, a tear rolling down her cheek.
"Why are you crying, silly girl? If you want to see it in person, we can just go to the Pyramid Country during the summer vacation."
"You idiot, I'm just feeling touched." Wang Li slapped Xu Chen hard.
The two of them snuggled together and watched the entire video together.
"Chenchen, do you know what my thoughts are after watching this video?"
Tell me about it.
"My feeling is that if you were an ordinary person, you would probably have died in this operation long ago." Wang Li thought about the consequences and suddenly felt very scared. Then she continued, "So, as someone who is both a cultivator and a soldier, I think... I think you should rush to the front, rush before your comrades, rush before the civilians, to save them, to take bullets for them..."
Wang Li wiped away her tears and continued, "Chenchen, I... I'm saying this not because I don't care about you, please don't misunderstand."
"Lili, I know what you mean. You want me to use my abilities to save people if I can, right? Silly girl, how could I misunderstand that you don't care about me? You trust me."
"Chenchen, you are so kind."
"Don't just express your gratitude verbally," Xu Chen said with a mischievous grin, then planted a kiss on her red lips. Wang Li playfully slapped Xu Chen's shoulder before responding with equal passion.
