However, Qin Yan knew that Mrs. Norman had lost a lot of people along the way, and there were not many people available now. Even if he sent people out, facing the chaotic environment outside, there might not be any good news.
Then, he chatted with Dr. Huo for a few more words, and only then did he know that they, including Mrs. Norman, were rescued by her.
They were attacked by rockets and a gun battle broke out between the two sides.
Although they won in the end, they suffered heavy casualties. Just when Mrs. Norman was at her wit's end, she met Dr. Huo and his men who had returned from outside for supplies, and they were brought here together.
It was also because of meeting them that Assistant Li and others were able to save their lives.
"Thank you very much for saving my life." Qin Yan heard this and thanked him sincerely again.
"You're welcome." Dr. Huo had a good impression of this polite young man.
Finally, he said, "You need to rest well now, so don't think about other things for now. I believe there will be good news."
Qin Yan responded and said nothing more.
Dr. Huo said a few more words to Ellie and then left.
It was during the conversation just now that Qin Yan found out that this Ellie was the nurse in charge of their tent.
"Do you need any help?" Ellie returned to him and asked with a smile.
"No need, thank you." Qin Yan said in a slightly cold voice.
Ellie stared at his handsome face for a while, which was very cold when facing her, curled her lips slightly, and left the tent first.
The surroundings became quiet. Although he still had a fever, Qin Yan couldn't stop thinking.
The news from him should have been passed back to China. I wonder if his wife knows about it?
If she knew, she would definitely be worried, right?
Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty. What if he couldn't go back alive?
Will his wife be very sad then?
Just thinking of her sad face made him feel heartbroken.
However, at the same time, he also noticed something strange.
Although this riot happened very suddenly, is it really true that no news was leaked at all?
Before he came, he sent many people to contact here. Could it be that they really didn't find anything?
Qin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. If he remembered correctly, those rockets seemed to be heading directly for their car, not for Mrs. Norman.
Thinking of this, his mood became even heavier.
…
The night was dark and the entire canyon looked as if it had been covered with thick ink. Only in the areas illuminated by car lights could one see some of the scenery clearly.
Everyone in the car became alert and slowly drove towards the other end of the canyon.
"As long as we get out of here, we'll be safe." Rick whispered.
Perhaps because of the riots, the journey that had originally made people worry turned out to be much smoother than expected, and we soon arrived at the last section.
But even so, people in the car dare not let their guard down, because danger can happen at any time.
Ning Xi was thinking this when he suddenly heard a gunshot. The bullet hit a headlight of the jeep leading the way in front. The headlight shattered instantly and went out.
The car stopped immediately, and then countless bullets flew from the front, hitting the car in front with a clang.
"Ambush!" Rick yelled, radioing everyone, "Turn off your lights! Take cover! Release the heat-sensing drone!"
Soon, all the car lights were turned off, and the people in the pickup truck at the back started shooting towards the front.
At the same time, two drones quickly took off and flew towards the place where the people were hiding.
Their car quickly retreated and hid behind several huge rocks.
With the help of drones, the fighting ended quickly.
Rick confirmed with the drone operator via radio that there were no more survivors ahead. He felt relieved and said to Ning Xi, "These four people are probably armed robbers in this area."
Ning Xi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Rick said, "The road ahead is a bit narrow. We must pass quickly. Otherwise, if more people come, we will be in danger."
The mercenary group and the bodyguards brought by Ning Xi totaled more than thirty people.
But, compared with the population of a village, they may not even be enough to fill the other party's teeth!
Therefore, once a firefight occurs, the best option is to leave quickly.
Ning Xi thought so too, so she said, "Okay."
Rick immediately notified the others and asked them to release two drones to explore the way and guard, then quickly started the car and accelerated through the canyon.
However, halfway through, the drone discovered that the road ahead was blocked!
Those people cut down big trees and piled up some stones, obviously trying to stop their car.
At the same time, the drone also discovered that there were many people lying in ambush nearby, and they would become targets if they went over there.
Rick tutted and had to ask everyone to stop.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became extremely solemn.
"Can we take a detour?" the bodyguard captain asked Rick.
"No. This is the only canyon that cars can pass through. For other places, you can only walk." Rick said.
Hiking is not only dangerous but also a waste of time.
Both bodyguards frowned and finally looked at Ning Xi.
Ning Xi glanced at the darkness ahead, then saw the drone in the sky, and suddenly said, "I have an idea."
As she spoke, she opened her bag and took out a porcelain bottle. "This is a drug. Just pour it into the fire and light it. It will make anyone who smells it lose their ability to move."
