After the two militiamen led Zhao Yuxuan away from the refugee camp, they came to a large, sheltered rock and were unsure of what to do next.
Chen Yu only ordered them to protect Zhao Yuxuan in secret, without giving any specific action guidelines or follow-up plans.
After thinking for a moment, they decided to report what had just happened to Chen Yu later before making any further plans.
After all, it was still too early, not even 9 a.m., and they were afraid of disturbing Chen Yu's rest.
"Zhao Yuxuan, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" One of the soldiers suddenly turned around and asked Zhao Yuxuan with concern.
Zhao Yuxuan was slightly taken aback, then shook her head.
She worked all night to draft a "community renovation plan," and came to Liu Zhen with her plan at the crack of dawn this morning, but she never expected this outcome.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little self-mocking; she had been too naive.
She thought that with her plans and enthusiasm, she could change things and make people look at her with new eyes and accept her ideas.
However, reality gave her a resounding slap in the face, making her realize that in this cruel world, ideals and passions are sometimes so pale and powerless.
Once she leaves Tianyu Base, she is nothing!
"I...I'm not hungry." Zhao Yuxuan forced a smile, trying to hide her disappointment and embarrassment.
"Eat something first." The soldier ignored Zhao Yuxuan's refusal, took out a personal combat ration from his backpack, and handed it to Zhao Yuxuan.
This individual combat ration was specially designed by engineers at Tianyu Base for the base's militia soldiers in extremely cold outdoor environments. It is lightweight and nutritious, enough to support the soldiers in long-term combat and patrols in harsh environments.
Zhao Yuxuan took the food rations, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
The outside world is too dangerous, and people's hearts are too complicated. Tianyu Base is still the safest place. The people there share a common ideal and are full of trust and mutual assistance among themselves.
The thought that she would no longer have any connection with Tianyu Base made her feel a pang of sadness.
As I thought about it, my eyes welled up with tears.
The two soldiers did not notice Zhao Yuxuan's abnormality. After all, their mission was to protect Zhao Yuxuan's safety, and they did not have the extra energy to pay attention to her emotions.
Zhao Yuxuan lowered her head and began to eat her food silently.
"Thank you all," Zhao Yuxuan said softly as she ate, her voice trembling slightly with a barely perceptible sob.
"You're welcome, it's what we should do." One of the soldiers smiled kindly.
Zhao Yuxuan looked up into the distance, and the outline of Tianyu Base gradually became clear in the morning light. It was the place where her dreams took flight, but now it had become an inseparable part of her heart.
"I'm curious, how do you know my name? And who are we waiting for?" Zhao Yuxuan finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked the two soldiers her questions.
"Huh~?" The two soldiers were taken aback by Zhao Yuxuan's question. They then realized that they seemed to have made a mistake and had let something slip earlier.
Seeing the two militiamen's somewhat embarrassed expressions, unable to utter a word for a long time, Zhao Yuxuan chuckled, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.
"Okay, it's okay, I was just curious. If it's not convenient for you to tell me now, you can tell me when you have the chance later."
One of the soldiers scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Actually, we didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just..."
"Ahem!" Another soldier suddenly coughed, interrupting his comrade, and then quickly changed the subject: "Miss Zhao, what are your plans next?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuxuan's eyes flickered slightly, as if she were considering how to answer the question. She took a small bite of her food, swallowed it, and then slowly spoke, "I... actually don't have any concrete plans yet. But no matter what, this world is so big, it's not..."
Before Zhao Yuxuan could finish speaking, a rapid engine noise rang out around them. The two soldiers immediately became alert, quickly looked around, and shielded Zhao Yuxuan behind them.
"That's... the Red Sky Alliance?" A soldier looked sharply in the direction of the voice, recognizing the distinctive vehicle and equipment.
As the enemy's sleds drew closer, another soldier exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, they're coming for us!"
Remembering Liu Zhen and his gang's earlier statement that they would offer Zhao Yuxuan to the leader of the Red Sky Alliance, and considering the current situation, the soldier immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and felt a sense of foreboding.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately picked up the communicator from his chest and reported the current situation to Chen Yu in a low and urgent voice, requesting emergency support.
"Mr. Chen, Zhao Yuxuan is in some trouble. There are about 30 of them, and they are suspected of carrying lethal weapons. We cannot handle them alone and are requesting backup!"
On the other end of the communicator, Chen Yu's voice was calm and powerful, penetrating the noisy background and clearly reaching the soldiers' ears: "Received, I understand the situation. Stay calm and try to buy time. The support team is on its way. Remember, ensure Zhao Yuxuan's safety at all costs."
Upon hearing this, the two militiamen felt somewhat relieved and quickly formulated a preliminary response strategy.
They decided to take advantage of the terrain to delay the Red Sky Alliance's advance as much as possible, buying more time for the reinforcements to arrive.
Zhao Yuxuan was stunned. Mr. Chen? The soldier was just reporting to Mr. Chen?
You should know that she was expelled from Tianyu Base because she angered Mr. Chen, so why would Chen Yu send someone to protect her?
As an outstanding researcher, Zhao Yuxuan naturally possesses a high IQ.
Based on the various "coincidences" and strange occurrences before, as well as the conversation between the soldier and Chen Yu just now, she immediately guessed that these two soldiers had been specially sent by Chen Yu to protect her.
Why is that?
The thought flashed through Zhao Yuxuan's mind, leaving her both surprised and confused.
But she quickly realized that now was not the time to think about those things; the most pressing issue was how to safely weather the current crisis.
