Chapter 5247: Tense
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Go!"
The British soldiers in front set off again. They had passed through the most dangerous place. The rebels were at the center of the nightclub. The surroundings were at least three kilometers wide. Amherst had appeared at the nightclub. As Ives hadn’t received any news of Amherst’s death, he needed to be wary of Amherst leaving alive.
The footsteps of the rebels could be heard. The government forces were already fighting with the rebels. Both sides were fighting fiercely. The exchange of bullets and grenades never stopped. The little boy woke up. Just as he muttered ’Daddy’, his mouth was covered.
He couldn’t speak.
The mother was so nervous that she hugged her husband’s arm tightly. She was so afraid that her legs were trembling violently. She didn’t even have the strength to stand up.
Everyone was tense. Once the rebels discovered them, they wouldn’t give them a chance to speak. They wouldn’t verify their identities either. They would just sweep them with anti-aircraft machine guns to prevent any future trouble.
"Surround this place! Hurry! Surround this place!"
Before she could catch her breath, the footsteps that ran past her ears stopped not far ahead. Someone was shouting loudly.
Xia Jinyuan closed his eyes and swallowed his saliva.
The place they were surrounding was the street they passed through just now. If they were a step late, everyone would have been blocked. They would have been caught like turtles in a jar. Everyone would have died.
Sweat flowed down his forehead and cheeks. Then, it dripped down from his chin. Time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly at this moment. It was so slow that it seemed like centuries had passed.
The three British reporters panted heavily and clenched their fists tightly. As reporters, they were clearly very afraid, but they didn’t want to let go of such a close combat situation. Their eyes were wide open, but they couldn’t see the outside. They could only prick up their ears and listen carefully to the movements outside.
They didn’t have cameras, but with such a close encounter with the rebels, they could write a memo and report everything they had experienced.
Chen Shuzhen and the other two were the same. They were so frightened that their hands and feet were trembling, but their ears were pricked up as they listened carefully to the commotion outside. Their thoughts were the same as the British reporters.
About ten minutes later, the British soldiers confirmed that they could leave. They bent their backs and moved slowly.
They had to move slowly. If they walked quickly and they kicked some rocks, it would alert the rebels who were only a wall away from them.
The sleeping little boy placed his head on his father’s shoulder. The child was actually very sensitive. Although he didn’t understand much, he knew that this wasn’t the time for him to speak. He hugged his father’s neck tightly and laid there motionlessly. He was very obedient.
At least the little boy had parents to rely on. In this country, many children around his age had lost their parents and lived alone. What awaited them might be death.
No one spoke as they followed closely behind. Xia Jinyuan, who was bringing up the rear, hunched his back. In the darkness, his cold black eyes, which seemed to contain a sword gleam, stared behind him, signaling his comrades who were a few steps behind him to follow.
They advanced one after the other to ensure safety in the rear.
They were so careful, but something unexpected still happened. Chen Shuzhen turned her head and looked at the rebels who were getting farther and farther away from her. She was distracted and landed a little heavily. She kicked something with her shoe, which made a very clear clang. It wasn’t loud, but the surroundings were so quiet. No matter how soft it was, the sound was still obvious.
