y because of her domineering behavior, but when she heard the salesperson misunderstand Zhu Yuanan, she smiled and pretended to be on the same side as the salesperson against Zhu Yuanan.That's right,...They were unsupported and had to struggle on.

This is also why the Xili government quickly agreed to Zhang's request, as long as they receive weapons and supplies from China, they can quickly recover. Starting from Zag City, they can fight all the way to Xishi, with a coordinated attack from both inside and outside the city, concentrating their firepower, hoping to regain control of Xishi. This not only provides a channel for Chinese evacuation but also holds great significance for them.

But how many days it will take to break through Xishi, no one can say for sure, we can only wait.

Song Jingye led people away to inspect, Chen Ling and others stayed behind and entered a long wait.

On a construction site ten meters away, the workers were unaware of the details, only knowing that people from the state had come to take them. They were all unusually excited, with many having already packed their belongings at their feet, waiting to leave at any moment.

Teacher Zhang didn't have them come over now because she wasn't sure how many days were left, and it was safer for them to stay there.

Chen Ning only learned later why they had dug such a wide ditch. It was because before that, several waves of bandits had gone in to rob them. They had stolen all their valuables, as well as the computers used for work, and ransacked the office.

So they used excavators all night to dig themselves a shelter, and it worked very well.

In the distance, flames raged. Chen Ning occasionally looked back in the direction where Song Jingye and the others had just left, worried for their safety.

He waited a whole day, until nightfall, when Song Jingye and his men finally returned, bringing news that the situation in Xishi was at a stalemate.

It seems like I won't be able to go out today, so I'll just have to wait.

In the evening, they would either set up camp at their current location or go to stay at the construction site across the way.

Zhang Lao and Song Jingye chose to make camp here.

"Do you have a tent" Chen Ling asked back.

"Of course." Song Jingye seemed to have expected this, so when he airdropped in the morning, he also brought down a lot of supplies. Along with his comrades, they set up a row of tents in an open space, in an orderly and organized manner.

Chen Ning seized the opportunity to lend a helping hand, working beside him. She couldn't help but admire him sincerely and whispered, "Uncle, how do you have such foresight How do you always prepare for everything in advance"

Song Jingye said proudly: "This is common sense, or how else would we survive"

He used to be in the northwest, whether it was during the coldest time of year, leading people to stand guard at the Mu border station, or during the scorching heat going to the desert for wild training, or now every time he went to military exercises in extreme environments, he had to think one step further than others, one step further than the weather.

Chen Ning looked at him with only admiration in her eyes and skillfully set up the tent.

"You and your colleague will sleep in this room tonight," Song Jingye said as he tightened the last screw and stood up.

He added, “I’ll sleep in the room next to yours.” His intention was to reassure her that he was right there.

Result, Chen Ling's eyes were bright, "Can I go find you tonight"

Song Jingye glared at her: "What are you thinking about The room next door is a dormitory where I live with my comrades."

Chen Ning smiled back, "Alright, it's just a few steps away anyway."

After all the tents were set up, Teacher Zhang and the others started a fire outside. There were signs of cooling down tonight, so they built a fire to keep warm.

The people at the construction site are shouting: "Captain Song, Teacher Zhang, come over and get some food, we've made it."

Song Jingye and his comrades crossed the trench to get food.

Chen Ling sat beside the bonfire, watching them move gracefully back and forth. She still looked at Teacher Zhang with confusion and asked, "These workers dug such a wide and deep trench, it can help defend against an attack, but if tonight or tomorrow, we can evacuate, they have the elderly and children, how are they going to get over I just saw, there was even a woman carrying a baby in her arms."

This problem had been bothering her for half a day. It wasn't like everyone was as good as Song Jingye, able to climb walls and scale cliffs.

In this tense atmosphere, her way of thinking was really different from others. She was quite good at finding humor even in difficult situations. Her questions made several colleagues start thinking about the issue as well.

Colleague: "They probably haven't figured out how to come over themselves either."

Chapter Teacher smiled and said, “Come fly over here!”

Song Jingye and others carried dinner over, Chen Ning quickly got up to help divide it.

Song Jingye asked, "What were we talking about just now"

See, they were all smiling just now, which is rare.

Chen Ning repeated the question again, and even Song Jingye laughed: "Are you stupid"

"What's wrong"

"What are these construction workers doing Filling in this ditch wouldn't take them a minute, would it"

Chen Ning only then realized, the construction site was full of bulldozers and excavators, they had built a road by filling it in. That was their specialty.

After the food had been distributed, Chen Ling returned to sit beside Teacher Zhang. She originally intended to maintain a certain distance from Song Jingye, but this time, Song Jingye, holding his meal, sat directly beside her without any intention of avoiding her.

Teacher Zhang and several colleagues wore knowing expressions, but they didn't say anything.

She blushed slightly, burying her head in her meal. The flames in front of her warmed her whole body.

After dinner, Song Jingye and Teacher Zhang arranged the night shift personnel. The rest returned to their tents to rest.

Chen Ning stood at the entrance of the tent, wanting to take one last look at Song Jingye before going back. After a while, he walked towards her, saying as he passed by her, "Wait for me a moment."

She said, going back to her tent to retrieve a long, thick coat, and handed it to him: "Cover yourself with this coat when you sleep at night. It gets very cold."

Chen Ling took the clothes, buried her head in them for a sniff, and said, "I thought you had worn them."

"This is from the material package."

The two stood talking for a while at the entrance of her tent. Chen Ning asked, "Is it possible to withdraw tomorrow"

Song Jingye: "It's possible at any time. The government army has our weapons support, and the odds are in our favor."

"That's good, I want to go home." He was the only one she dared to confide in. Here, it wasn't just about being afraid; witnessing the devastation after the war had a huge psychological impact, leaving her feeling oppressed and helpless.

Song Jingye reached out and hugged her for a moment: "Soon, we'll be able to go home. Now rest assured and go to sleep. I'm right next door."

"Okay."

Chen Ning hugged her back and then turned to go back to his tent. Actually, after he went into the tent, he realized that there was only one woman here, and this tent was for her alone.

That night, even though she was sleeping in a tent, knowing he was right next door made her sleep soundly until around 4 am when she suddenly heard Song Jingye calling her name. She woke up startled, and outside, Teacher Zhang and the others were already up.

"Now you can evacuate, time is of the essence, hurry up." Teacher Zhang's voice echoed in the distance.

(Tomorrow I can go back home, little bully)soon as the door opened, I saw the hotel concierge, floor manager, and several firefighters standing outside."Mr. Zhuo, are you alright""What happened" He didn't see Shu Tinglan behind the firefighter...
