“You’re right, the corpses there are almost rotting,” Fatty Wang chimed in. “And there’s still fighting over there, so it seems the battle hasn’t stopped.”

Thinking about the conversation between the two elderly people, Lin Beichen felt another pang of pain in his heart.

"Have you found out what kind of organization it is?" The instructor's brows furrowed deeply.

Lin Beichen and Fatty Wang shook their heads at the same time: "We only know that their artillery fire is very strong, and many of them are carrying AKs, so we didn't dare to move forward."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Beichen raised his head again: "When I came back, I heard two old men talking. It seemed that someone was going to attack unarmed civilians."

The instructor's expression grew even more melancholy. In times of prosperity, the people suffer; in times of ruin, the people suffer. The common people always suffer the most; war always harms the civilians.

While he was hesitating, Lin Beichen had already given a military salute: "Instructor, those civilians must not be harmed. I hope you can report the situation to your superiors as soon as possible."

Fatty Wang was clearly reluctant to let it go: "The people over there are almost dead. If we don't report to our superiors soon, our side will also be affected."

The instructor pondered for a moment, then quietly nodded. He needed to report this to his superiors before he could receive a reply.

That afternoon, the instructor successfully reported the matter. However, it would probably take some time to receive a response.

"Has there been any reply yet?" Lin Beichen asked every few minutes, appearing very anxious.

When he overheard the two old men's conversation, he felt his heart almost go numb. If war is destined to harm ordinary people, then such a war is meaningless. In fact, all wars are meaningless. All wars only make life more difficult for ordinary people. So-called wars are nothing more than the satisfaction of selfish interests.

But must everything be sacrificed for one person's benefit? Lin Beichen never wanted war. But if he were sent to the battlefield, he would never back down.

Since there was no response for a long time, the instructor called Lin Beichen over again.

"This matter can't be delayed any longer. Go to the embassy immediately and check on the situation." Since they hadn't received a reply, they couldn't act rashly for the time being. Furthermore, without orders from higher command, the instructors couldn't arbitrarily deploy troops.

Lin Beichen gave a military salute: "Please rest assured, instructor, I will definitely complete the mission successfully."

Lin Beichen packed his things and set off. Along the way, he constantly hid, determined not to let the enemy discover his whereabouts. Even for the sake of those civilians, he couldn't admit defeat.

On his way there, Lin Beichen saw many injured people. The roadside was littered with all sorts of wounded. Some had suffered burns of varying degrees from the explosion, and some had even lost limbs. Hearing their heart-wrenching screams, Lin Beichen felt a deep unease.

"Help!" Just as Lin Beichen was walking forward with his head down, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Help! Help!"

Following the sound, he was surprised to find a fellow countryman from the same country as him. Lin Beichen could be ruthless and ignore people from other countries, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to his own compatriots, especially when he heard a familiar language.

Lin Beichen stomped his foot angrily, then turned to his compatriot and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The man had a large gash in his body, from which blood was gushing out: "Please save me..." Upon seeing Lin Beichen's military uniform, the man suddenly grabbed his hand, "Please, I beg you to save me, or I'll die."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Beichen quickly took out his first-aid kit. After bandaging the wound in a few quick movements, he hoisted the man onto his back: "I'll take you there now."

The place Lin Beichen was referring to was the embassy. To ensure the safety of their compatriots, these people had to be sent to the embassy. Only there could their people receive genuine protection.

"I'll take you to the embassy." The man tried to walk, but his wound prevented him from moving at all. Seeing the man sweating profusely from the pain, Lin Beichen simply carried him on his back.

Some people around him asked Lin Beichen for help, but he was powerless to do so. In the end, he gave all the medical supplies he had on him to those people.

"I'm sorry!" Before leaving, Lin Beichen bowed deeply to those people.

He's not a superhero; he can't save everyone. All he can do now is save the fellow citizen on his shoulder…

The road was littered with corpses.

Some people were wailing beside the pile of corpses, while others were running away in a panic, clutching their children.

Seeing this scene, which resembled a living hell, Lin Beichen felt a sharp pain in his heart.

In all his years of military service, he had never seen a more brutal scene.

Even Fatty Wang couldn't help but gasp.

"How did this place become like this?"

Upon discovering that there were his compatriots in the area, Lin Beichen immediately took out the national flag.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you to the embassy."

While war raged outside, the embassy could not afford any mistakes.

If even the embassy is attacked, it's tantamount to declaring war on their country.

To ensure the safety of these people, they must find a way to bring them to the embassy.

However, it's still quite a distance to go from here to the embassy.

That person's health condition is very poor.

In addition to walking normally, they also had to carry that person on their backs.

Although Fatty Wang was very strong, he would pant for three steps after taking just one.

With no other option, Lin Beichen had to carry the person forward on his back.

That person was crying like a baby.

"Please, please save me."

His survival instinct made him grip Lin Beichen's sleeve tightly.

"Please, please, you must save me."

Lin Beichen almost couldn't breathe because of the other person's grip.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

He quickly coughed a few times.

"I will definitely escort you to the embassy."

Although it was a long journey, they were still able to get there smoothly.

Lin Beichen and Fatty Wang continued walking forward.

Because they were carrying wounded people, walking was very difficult for them.

With each step forward, I had to look around several times.

"Who exactly hurt you?"

As he walked, Lin Beichen hadn't yet figured out the situation here.

That overseas compatriot didn't know what was going on either.

"We knew there was a lot of gunfire in the area, but we didn't expect it to be this bad."

"Moreover, we were attacked by unknown assailants."

Was it an attack by unknown assailants?

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen immediately frowned.

If the attack is from unknown individuals, then it's troublesome.

Putting aside other factors, an attack by unknown individuals could very well put them in danger.

Lin Beichen and Fatty Wang walked very slowly.

Because they were in a busy city, they inevitably had to pass through some populated areas.

At first, everyone avoided them.

Seeing the frightened look on the person next to him, Fatty Wang scratched his head.

"I think I look quite kind and approachable, so why do they all seem afraid of me?"

The person who was rescued sobbed.

"They're not afraid of you, they're afraid of the guns in your hands."

The pistol in his hand gleamed in the sunlight.

Every night before going to bed, Fatty Wang would wipe down his beloved baby.

"Ah, this..."

For a moment, Fatty Wang found himself speechless.

No wonder those people were so scared just now.

When they saw the handgun, they probably thought I was a bad guy, right?
"Should we put this away?"

Fatty Wang glanced at Lin Beichen's direction.

If they actually put this away, that would be a real problem.

If they really run into the assault team, they'll all be in deep trouble.

But if we don't put it away...

The people around them would avoid them.

Thinking about it that way, they're really in trouble.

"Explain it to them!"

Lin Beichen was also unwilling to put the gun away.

If they really take away the guns, they will only have one way out: death.

Putting everything else aside, these issues alone are enough to keep them busy.

"Just say we're not bad people."

As Lin Beichen spoke, he walked towards the people who had been there. Those people were terrified and desperately tried to escape.

"Don't be afraid."

Lin Beichen raised his gun at these people.

"I won't hurt you, I won't hurt you."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fatty Wang also raised the gun in his hand.

"We're here to investigate the situation. We can take you away from here."

Upon hearing the words "leave here," several people slowed their pace.

After seeing that the people had calmed down, Lin Beichen finally looked at them.

"Don't worry, we really can get you out of this place."

The people around them had already started to weep.

"Can you really get us out of here?"

There was a little girl, about seven or eight years old, staring longingly at Lin Beichen.

Looking into those bloodshot eyes, Lin Beichen's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

He nodded solemnly.

"If you are willing to believe in me, I can take you away."

Among these people, some may not be compatriots, but they are all unarmed civilians.

Faced with such ordinary people, his moral principles compelled him to intervene.

Because Lin Beichen had a kind attitude, many people were willing to believe him.

The reason these people choose to believe is simply because they have no other choice.

They wouldn't have made this decision if they had any other choice.

Going with a stranger is also very risky for them.

But apart from Lin Beichen, no one else had ever promised to take them away.

Clinging to their last glimmer of hope, many ordinary people followed behind Lin Beichen.

Gradually, the number of people behind them began to increase.

"Why are there so many people now? Won't this arouse the enemy's suspicion?"

Looking at the people behind him, Fatty Wang frowned.

If it were only one or two people, that would be understandable.

But now there are more than a dozen people following behind them.

If this were discovered by enemy scouts, wouldn't that be a real problem?

Should we continue?

Fatty Wang was extremely worried.

Lin Beichen was also worried, but he had no other choice at the moment.

If he abandons these people, then they will be abandoned forever.

If they were to encounter armed forces, they would be dead.

Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Lin Beichen is unwilling to give up on them.

The group marched forward in a grand procession.

Lin Beichen and Fatty Wang were extra vigilant as they walked down each street.

They have to ensure everyone's safety.

Lin Beichen led the way.

The wounded man has been carried on the back of another strong and healthy person.

Fatty Wang brought up the rear.

Lin Beichen walked far ahead of them, making sure that every street was safe.

Only after confirming that the street was safe would he make a forward gesture to those people.

In an instant, everyone suddenly became highly trained.

"Great!"

Fatty Wang secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, everyone was well-trained this time, so these people should be fine.

clap clap clap!
Just as he was feeling happy, Lin Beichen suddenly heard a gunshot in his ear.

The gunshots were very close to them.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the ordinary people behind him instantly panicked.

"Don't panic!"

Lin Beichen quickly calmed these people down.

"Don't make a sound, don't panic!"

He glanced cautiously ahead.

"Everyone, stay close to me!"

Lin Beichen walked ahead and successfully arrived near a small villa.

Gunfire continued in the surrounding area.

Since it's still ongoing, they probably haven't been discovered yet.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

Lin Beichen once again gestured for the people around him to squat down.

"Don't make a sound, or we'll all die."

The people were terrified.

But whether adults or children, everyone unanimously chose to keep quiet.

They knew the seriousness of the problem.

Under the pressure of prolonged artillery fire, they dared not make any rash moves.

The gunshots continued to ring out.

To find out what was going on, Lin Beichen went to investigate alone.

When he arrived at the foot of the small Western-style building, some Chinese people spotted Lin Beichen.

These people were upstairs in the villa, which is why they could easily see Lin Beichen.

Although Lin Beichen has a Chinese face.

However, because they were unsure of the other party's identity, these Chinese people dared not utter a sound.

At first, Lin Beichen didn't notice the people here either.

He walked forward cautiously, trying to find the source of the gunshots.

However, they hadn't walked far...

He suddenly noticed that something seemed to have fallen from upstairs.

When I went over to take a look, I saw a pile of fallen rubble.

The roof tiles upstairs just now were knocked down by the gunshot.

"Is someone up there?"

In an instant, Lin Beichen's intuition seemed to be awakened.

His intuition told him that there might actually be people up there...

Just to be on the safe side, he decided to go upstairs and take a look first.

Fatty Wang stopped him.

"What if there are people lying in ambush above us?"

The surrounding situation is changing rapidly.

Everyone here needs Lin Beichen to get out.

If Lin Beichen doesn't take care of them, then they'll be in trouble.

"I feel like there are only people up there."

Lin Beichen frowned slightly, his voice carrying a hint of impatience. (End of Chapter)
