Next, Ambassador Lü briefed everyone on the current situation.
A total of 629 overseas Chinese and foreign citizens needed to be evacuated. 605 people have been evacuated, and the naval fleet is in charge. All of them have boarded ships. The remaining 24 people are currently in the textile factory.
"Not one less?" Zheng Qing asked.
“Not one less!” Ambassador Lü replied.
Among the 24 people, there were two foreign experts hired by Xia Guo Enterprises and 12 foreign citizens.
The evacuation of these 24 people meant that the fleet that had already established a port could not return. Through the efforts of the Xia Kingdom's government, the government forces temporarily cleared a runway for Xia Kingdom's transport planes at the already closed Yemeni airport.
But being stopped on the runway, there was a constant risk of being destroyed or stolen, and time was so pressing that every second was precious.
yawenku.
Besides that, Ambassador Lü only knew that the road to the airport had become a battle zone between government forces and rebels.
"There might be landmines buried in the ground," Xiao Zhang suddenly said.
Even Ambassador Lü was unaware of this intelligence, and looked at Xiao Zhang in surprise.
"Are you sure?" Zheng Qing asked.
"Eighty percent." That's what he said, but Xiao Zhang's expression was very certain.
Zheng Qing fell silent.
Escorting civilians across a war zone is already extremely dangerous; if landmines are added to the mix, the chances of casualties are almost 100%.
If we encounter rebel players again, or even attacks from foreign national teams...
“So,” Xiao Zhang interrupted Zheng Qing’s train of thought, “Team Leader Zheng, I suggest we go to the rebel military area and steal military vehicles.”
"A military vehicle?" the scholar asked.
"They are some modified military vehicles with tires and chassis designed to detect landmines. The landmines themselves are just for show; some people who step on them only end up with a few feet blown off," Xiao Zhang explained.
He looked at Zheng Qing and continued, "Team Leader Zheng, once we have military vehicles, the threat of landmines and bullets will be greatly reduced, and we can be more at ease guarding against players."
"Okay. What about the others? If you have any opinions, please speak up." Zheng Qing looked at everyone.
No one spoke.
“Okay!” Zheng Qing said solemnly, “Rest now. At three o’clock in the morning, Poison, Thigh, Scholar, me, Mosquito, Pigeon, and Xiao Qing, a few of us will go to steal military vehicles. Yang Liu and Tank, you two, Xiao He, Xiao Yun, and Xiao Zhang will stay behind.”
"yes!"
"Team Leader Zheng! I'm going too!" Xiao He quickly said.
"no."
"I know the way!" Xiao He exclaimed anxiously.
Zheng Qing looked at him and said, "You've done enough."
“But my mission is not yet complete.” Xiao He’s gaze was resolute.
Zheng Qing turned to everyone and announced, "Xiao He is with us."
"Yes!" Xiao He saluted.
Xiao Yun looked at him worriedly, but Xiao He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, we have an expert with us. By the way, expert, how did you find us?"
“I’m curious too,” the scholar chimed in. “These two are known as the ‘invisible couple.’ If they weren’t a man and a woman, and if we didn’t trust Xiaoyun’s character, we wouldn’t even dare to take off our clothes to take a bath.”
"Who the hell wants to see your ass!" Xiao He laughed and cursed.
"Don't mention it," Poison chimed in, "Back in recruit training, that bastard Xiao He would pat everyone's butts every time he took a shower, right, Tank?"
"Yes." Tank nodded.
Since the tanks themselves say so, it's pretty much true.
"Damn it!" Xiao He roared in fury. "Am I interested in men? I'm interested in both of you."
"Eek~~" The scholar shuddered like a girl.
Everyone laughed. Xiao He was a little embarrassed and angry, but he had indeed patted a man's buttocks in the bathhouse, so he had to change the subject and continue to ask Li Changzhou how he found them.
"Sorry, this is a secret of the Special Operations Bureau," Li Changzhou said in a businesslike manner.
Zheng Qing: "......"
“That’s right, me… and Pigeon,” Li Qianxia swallowed the words “my brother”, “we were already showing mercy. Once, during a special operations mission, we encountered some foreigners who could also turn invisible, and we cut them into pieces. Luckily, this time we used our fists, because fists kill slowly.”
Zheng Qing: "......"
"Wow, that's awesome!" Poison exclaimed in admiration. "The national team is really fierce. Brother Pigeon, you've got my back for me tomorrow!"
"Okay, you're wrong. It's not the national team that's strong, it's me."
Poison has nothing to say but give a thumbs up.
After a brief chat, Zheng Qing told everyone to take a break and that they would depart promptly at three o'clock.
Considering that Li Changzhou and the others, who were wearing masks, could get some fresh air, Zheng Qing requested a separate room for the three of them.
After closing the door, Li Changzhou threw Li Qianxia and Yang Qinglan into the honey pot world, where they could truly relax and rest.
The two took off their masks. Li Qianxia breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Qinglan also felt a little more relaxed. Wearing a mask for too long was stuffy, and constantly being on guard against the enemy was mentally exhausting.
They breathed in the fresh air, lay on the soft bed, and gazed at the stars in the night sky.
Yemen, filled with poverty and tension, seems like just a movie you watch before bed.
"Qinglan, was it you who told my brother the location of those two people?"
"No," Yang Qinglan replied.
"How did he find out?" Li Qianxia asked, puzzled.
“It’s the black fog, isn’t it?” Yang Qinglan said calmly. She had already guessed this. “Didn’t he say before that when he first participated in the island dungeon, the black fog suddenly stopped, and that’s when he changed his route?”
"Oh," Li Qianxia said, suddenly realizing.
"Perhaps while he was running, that thing (Li Changzhou often referred to the black mist as such in front of them) suddenly stopped, and he turned around to try and see what would happen," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.
Li Qianxia turned to the side, staring at her without blinking.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yang Qinglan asked curiously, her eyes sparkling like two stars.
"It's nothing." Li Qianxia lay back down, gazing at the night sky, and smiled with her lips pursed.
Yang Qinglan chuckled softly, feeling both puzzled and amused, but inwardly she felt a little flustered.
Could it be that she found out about the time when Li Changzhou and I touched arms at dusk?
"Qinglan".
"Um?"
"It's so good to have met you."
With an innocent tone and straightforward expression, only someone like Li Qianxia, who was pampered by her older brother since childhood, could say such things directly.
"...Why do you say that?" Yang Qinglan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Hmm—I don't know why, but you're just so nice."
Is it "You're so nice" or "It's because you're so nice"?
"It's all the same, let's stop talking about this, let's go to sleep, go to sleep! Mmm~~, you smell so good!"
“Please keep your distance from me,” Yang Qinglan said, tilting her head to press against Li Qianxia’s forehead, who was sniffing her body. “Otherwise, I’ll tell your brother.”
