The wounded went first, followed by the medical staff. The military vehicles were parked on the main road a kilometer away. Bai Yalan and Li Meijun walked side by side. Somehow, when Xiaoxiao came, she said the mission was arduous, but it was over so quickly. Bai Yalan felt that it was over so easily, it was unreal.
After walking a distance, the laces on her military boots came loose, and she squatted down to tie them. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of reeds swaying in the wind not far ahead.
Her reaction was almost lightning fast. Without thinking, she stepped forward, pushed Li Meijun away, and fell to the ground.
"Be careful!" she shouted, "There's an ambush!"
All the hard work on the training ground these days was not in vain. She lay down in time, and almost at the same time, three bullets whizzed past their heads.
The soldiers escorting the wounded in front also quickly drew their guns and stood guard, ready for action.
Li Meijun reacted quickly. After being pushed away by Bai Yalan, she rolled over on the ground. She pulled out a pistol from her waist and fired two shots directly at Fang Qi, who was shooting bullets at her.
After two gunshots, the reeds in Maoton shook twice, and soon returned to calm.
Everyone present was worried. The officer in charge of the retreat called two soldiers and asked them to go forward to check the situation. The rest of the people stayed at the scene to protect the several wounded soldiers left behind.
Li Meijun also held a pistol, staring intently at the direction where the bullet came from.
While being on full alert, he retreated back to Bai Yalan and protected her behind him.
Bai Yalan felt a warm sensation in the corners of her eyes, but she pursed her lips and followed Li Meijun silently. At this time, being able to remain calm and not cause trouble is helping.
The officer brought two soldiers with him, and the three of them approached the reeds cautiously and inspected them carefully, but they didn't see anything unusual. Everyone was nervous and didn't dare to be careless at all.
The surrounding area was covered with reed marshes, and the terrain was of varying depths. They could only remain vigilant while moving towards flat and open areas.
Li Meijun protected Bai Yalan behind her, and she stood in front with a gun on guard. The two of them fought and retreated at the same time.
But before she got ten meters away, there seemed to be a strong wind blowing from behind. Bai Yalan's scalp exploded and she immediately wanted to dodge, but the other party was obviously faster than her.
"Don't move!" the man shouted, and the black muzzle of a gun was pointed at her head.
Li Meijun turned around almost at lightning speed and pointed the gun at the other party.
But it was too late. The dark and thin middle-aged man had appeared behind them at some point and was pointing a gun at Bai Yalan's head with a sinister look on his face.
The first aid kit on Bai Yalan's shoulder suddenly slipped to the ground, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't scared. Her face turned pale, her eyes widened slightly, and her brain went blank for a moment, but she was able to remain calm and not panic.
