Chapter 45 In the Bathroom
Al-Qaeda elements ambushed the rescue team in the forest. The situation was not favorable for the rescue team. The team members hid behind trees for cover while firing back. Two al-Qaeda elements in a tree opposite the forest were hit by stray bullets and fell from the tree, but the gunfire from the opposite side did not stop. Judging from the number of people Suwan had seen before, there were about ten al-Qaeda elements, which was more than the members of the rescue team. Moreover, the rescue team's mission was to protect the survivors, not to engage in a gunfight with al-Qaeda elements. If they wasted time here and caused injuries to the survivors, it would be a waste of time.
Mike, the leader of the rescue team, fired a few shots and then turned to hide behind a tree. He gestured to several team members around him, indicating that everyone should retreat and hide in the depths of the forest to avoid the al-Qaeda members. Several people understood and nodded. Mike stretched out his hand and gestured. When he counted to three, the team members rushed out tacitly and pulled the trigger at the same time, firing a string of bullets at the opposite side. While the al-Qaeda members in the forest avoided the bullets, they ran into the forest.
At this time, Frye was still squatting on the ground and kept putting handfuls of pills from the soil into his bag. Suwan saw this and shouted, "You're crazy!" When he ran to Frye, Suwan reached out and grabbed Frye's arm and ran forward, while Frye insisted on holding his torn travel bag. However, Suwan ran too fast and did not give Frye time to hold the bag tightly. As Suwan dragged him to run, the pills in the travel bag kept falling to the ground. Frye screamed and kept looking back. If Suwan hadn't grabbed him and ran desperately, Frye would have broken free and gone back to pick up the pills.
Marty was so frightened that her legs went limp. She covered her ears and cried and trembled behind a tree. Mike and Angela supported her and ran deeper into the forest, while the others ran and fired behind them to tie down the al-Qaeda elements.
It was not until the sound of gunfire could no longer be heard and they were deep in the forest, completely safe, that Suwan let go of Frye and pushed him to the ground.
"You want to kill yourself!" Suwan roared at Frye angrily, clenching his fists and looking like he would lose control and punch Frye at any time.
Those stray bullets were so close to Frye that they even flew into the ground in front of him. Suwan thought Frye was really stupid. Which was more important, his life or those pills!
However, Frye was not grateful. He knelt on the ground and bent over to pick up the small pills that fell into the dirt. Suwan was so angry that he really wanted to punch Frye. Angela saw it and hurried over to pull Suwan aside.
Marty, who was so scared that she didn't know when she started crying, was supported by Mike and walked over. She walked in front of Fry and suddenly slapped him.
Everyone was stunned, even Suwan, who was gasping for breath, stared blankly.
"It's just medicine. What if you get shot!" Marty cried and shouted sharply. Frye, who was kneeling on the ground, stopped trying to pick up the medicine. After only a second's pause, Frye continued to hold the pills in the mud in front of him and blew the dirt off the pills. Marty stretched out his hand and threw the pills in Frye's palm far away, then squatted on the ground, covering his face and crying.
