Chapter 272 Salvation
Lan Ximeng sent out their location, and then said to the other students: "Don't leave now, wait for the army to arrive."
The students nodded. Now that they knew help was on the way, they had no reason to risk going out again.
"Let's take out the weapons first. It's better to be more prepared." Alice relaxed, walked to the desk, moved the desk away, revealing a safe.
She entered the password and opened it to see that there were only five energy guns inside. This amount of weapons is not enough for so many people.
Lan Ximeng did not take out her weapons. This was not a desolate place like a planet. Taking them out would only cause unnecessary trouble.
"Give it to you. We are all untrained and it is useless to us." said an old lady. She was one of the few citizens who was not injured.
Alice pursed her lips and distributed weapons to those students who had no weapons. The old lady was right. These citizens had no training and giving them weapons might accidentally hurt themselves or others.
The students who got the weapons did not say anything, but stood there motionless, with a hint of tension and uneasiness on their faces.
After Alice finished distributing the weapons, she returned to Lan Ximeng and whispered, "I hope the rescue team will arrive soon."
Lan Ximeng nodded, her mental power still detecting the surrounding situation to make sure there was no other danger approaching.
Not far away, an army of thirty people was standing ready for battle. A man turned on his computer, quickly scanned the message on it, and was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she would be involved in this disaster.
He immediately said to his teammates: "There are citizens in need of rescue at 35 degrees south, 501 meters. Go!"
Lan Ximeng felt that the rescue team was approaching quickly. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly unconsciously, and she said softly: "The rescue team will be here soon."
"Is there anyone you know in there?" Alice tilted her head curiously and looked at Lan Ximeng.
"Yes, there is a big brother I know in there." Lan Ximeng nodded and asked in confusion, "How do you know there is someone I know in the team?"
Alice showed an expression that said "I knew it a long time ago" and said with a smile: "If you don't know him, were you locating him with Guifa just now?"
Lan Ximeng was speechless for a moment and could only smile helplessly.
Three minutes later, there was a rustling sound outside the security post, as if footsteps were approaching. The sudden sound made everyone in the room instantly alert. They subconsciously turned around and focused their eyes on the door. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Lan Ximeng frowned slightly, and quickly probed outside with her mental power, confirming that the people outside were the rescue team, "Don't worry, there are troops outside."
“Knock knock.” There were several crisp knocks on the door, followed by a steady voice: “Everyone inside, it’s safe now, you can come out.”
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Lan Ximeng walked forward and used both hands to move the tables, chairs and lockers blocking the door away one by one. Alice and other students followed and together they moved the obstruction away.
The door was slowly pushed open, and standing outside were three soldiers in military uniforms. With weapons in their hands and bright eyes, they all saluted the people inside the door with a standard military salute.
Lan Ximeng walked through the crowd, looked past the three soldiers, and met the eyes of a man not far away. After not seeing him for a long time, this man seems more and more imposing.
After seeing who was outside the door, the people hiding inside burst into cheers and laughter. They are finally safe!
"Report, there are a total of 106 civilians and 20 students from the combat department." A soldier walked up to the colonel, saluted, and then reported the information he had collected. "Half of the people inside are unable to move. We need to apply for a vehicle."
When the senior colonel, Wei Huaiyu, heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "It's not the time for vehicles to come over yet."
They didn't drive here. Vehicle targets are too large and can be easily spotted by the enemy when flying in the air.
There are still enemies in the square that have not been eliminated. If we call for help now, it may attract all the orcs.
"You arrange for some people to stay and guard these, and the rest of you to continue the cleaning mission."
The soldiers immediately obeyed the order, went down and began to arrange personnel.
Lan Ximeng did not rush forward to say hello, but stood quietly with the others, patiently waiting for further instructions from the army.
"Why haven't you come to pick us up yet?" The mother holding the child had lost a lot of blood, her face was pale, and there was a hint of anxiety and weakness in her voice.
She was being treated by a female soldier, who kept her hands moving, treating her wounds and comforting her: "You are too seriously injured, you need treatment first."
"We don't have any vehicles to transport the wounded right now, so you'll need to wait for a while." A soldier came back, walked up to Lan Ximeng and others, and explained the current situation in detail. There was a hint of apology in his tone, but his eyes were firm: "The rescue team is requesting support, and the vehicle will be here soon. Please hold on a little longer."
The injured people in the crowd were anxious, but they also understood the severity of the situation. They could only try to calm themselves down and wait for rescue.
Wei Huaiyu clicked a few times quickly on the computer, then quickly left with the team.
"Why did the people outside leave?" someone asked in confusion.
"They must have gone to deal with other things. Don't they still have a dozen people left behind?" another person answered.
Lan Ximeng looked down at the computer and did not reply.
"Hello, we want to know if the crowd at the nearby intersection is in danger?" A boy mustered up the courage, walked up to the leading soldier, and asked the question that had been weighing on his mind.
"Another team is in charge of that area. Let me ask about the situation for you." The soldier said as he quickly contacted the team in charge of the intersection. After a moment, he raised his head and said with a hint of comfort in his tone: "The danger over there has been cleared."
"Really? Thank you, thank you." When the boy heard the news, an expression of joy instantly appeared on his face. He excitedly bowed to the soldier and thanked him repeatedly. The other students also breathed a sigh of relief, and their originally tense expressions gradually relaxed.
Now, they just hope their family members have been rescued.
On the other side, the fifteen-man team led by Wei Huaiyu had just set off when they ran into a team of elite orcs head-on. In an instant, the two groups quickly launched a fierce battle.
Wei Huaiyu quickly pulled out the dagger, and his figure flashed and merged directly into the shadows of his teammates. The next second, he appeared like a ghost behind the opponent's leader and controlled him instantly.
"Don't move if you want to live." Wei Huaiyu's voice was cold and decisive. Before the orc leader could react, he took him quickly through the shadows back to his team.
At the same time, the orc troops on the opposite side were instantly covered by a torrential fire and were killed without a complete body.
The controlled orc leader witnessed all this and his hands and feet trembled and became weak. He didn't know how these humans found out that he was the leader, but at least he was still alive.
"Come, let's talk about how you got here." Wei Huaiyu's target was the commander of this orc activity - the orc under his control.
"Don't do it, I said!"
