However, Qin Yan knew that Mrs. Norman had also lost a lot of people along the way, and there were not many people available now. Even if he sent people out, facing the chaotic environment outside, there might not be any good news.

Then, he chatted with Dr. Huo for a few more words, and only then did he realize that they, including Mrs. Norman, were all rescued by her.

They were attacked by rockets and a gun battle broke out between the two sides.

Although they won in the end, they suffered heavy casualties. Just when Mrs. Norman was at her wits' end, she met Dr. Huo and his team who had returned from outside for supplies, and they were brought here together.

It was also because of meeting them that Assistant Li and others were able to save their lives.

"Thank you very much for saving my life." Qin Yan heard this and thanked him sincerely again.

"You're welcome." Dr. Huo had a good impression of this polite young man.

Finally, he said: "You need to rest well now, so don't think about other things first. I believe there will be good news."

Qin Yan responded and said nothing more.

Dr. Huo said a few more words to Ellie and then left.

It was during the conversation just now that Qin Yan found out that this Ellie was the nurse in charge of their tent.

"Do you need any help?" Ellie returned to him and asked with a smile.

"No need, thank you." Qin Yan said in a slightly cold voice.

Ellie stared at his handsome face for a while, but his face was very cold towards her, then she curled her lips slightly and left the tent.

The surroundings became quiet. Although he was still running a fever, Qin Yan couldn't stop thinking.

The news from here should have been passed back to the country. I wonder if his wife knows about it?

If she knew, she would definitely be worried, right?

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty. What if he couldn't go back alive?

Will his wife be very sad then?

Just thinking of her sad face made him feel heartbroken.

However, at the same time, he also noticed something strange.

Although this riot happened very suddenly, is it really true that no news at all was leaked?

Before he came, he sent a lot of people to contact here. Could it be that they really didn't find anything?

Qin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. If he remembered correctly, those rockets seemed to be aimed directly at their car, not at Mrs. Norman.

Thinking of this, his mood became even heavier.

……

The night was dark and the entire canyon looked as if it had been covered with thick ink. Only in the areas illuminated by car lights could one see some of the scenery clearly.

Everyone in the car became more alert and slowly drove towards the other side of the canyon.

"As long as we get out of here, we'll be safe." Rick said in a low voice.

Perhaps because of the riots, the journey that had originally made people worry turned out to be much smoother than expected, and we soon arrived at the last section.

But even so, people in the car dare not let their guard down, because danger can happen at any time.

Ning Xi was thinking this when he suddenly heard a gunshot. The bullet hit a headlight of the jeep leading the way in front. The headlight shattered instantly and went out.

The car stopped immediately, and then countless bullets flew from the front, hitting the car in front with a clanging sound.

"Ambush!" Rick yelled, radioing everyone, "Turn off the lights! Take cover! Release the heat-sensing drones!"

Soon, all the car lights were turned off, and the people in the pickup truck at the back started firing shots towards the front.

At the same time, two drones quickly took off and flew towards where the people were hiding.

Their car quickly retreated and hid behind some huge rocks.

With the assistance of drones, the fighting ended quickly.

Rick confirmed with the drone operator over the radio that there were no more survivors ahead, and then he felt relieved and said to Ning Xi, "These four people are probably armed robbers nearby."

Ning Xi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

And Rick said: "The road ahead is a bit narrow, we must pass quickly, otherwise it will be very dangerous for us if more people come."

The mercenary group and the bodyguards brought by Ning Xi totaled more than thirty people.

But, compared with the population of a village, they may not even be enough to fill the other side's teeth!

Therefore, once a firefight occurs, the best option is to leave quickly.

Ning Xi thought so too, so she said, "Okay."

Rick immediately notified the others and asked them to release two drones to explore the road and guard, then quickly started the car and accelerated through the canyon.

However, halfway through, the drone discovered that the road ahead was blocked!

Those people cut down some big trees and piled up some stones, obviously trying to stop their car.

At the same time, the drone also discovered that there were many people lying in ambush nearby, and they would become targets if they went over there.

Rick clicked his tongue and had to ask everyone to stop.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Can we take a detour?" the bodyguard captain asked Rick.

"No. This is the only canyon that cars can pass through. For the rest, you can only walk." Rick said.

Hiking is not only dangerous but also a waste of time.

Both bodyguards frowned and finally looked at Ning Xi.

Ning Xi glanced at the darkness ahead, then saw the drone in the sky, and suddenly said, "I have an idea."

As she spoke, she opened her bag and took out a porcelain bottle from it. "This is the drug. Just pour it into the fire and light it. It will make anyone who smells it lose their ability to move."

Hearing her say this, the two bodyguards' eyes lit up instantly.

But Rick was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression that said "are you kidding me?" and said, "Ms. Ning, this is not the time to tell jokes."

How could there be such a medicine in this world?

If there is, they can definitely get it!

Ning Xi glanced at him and suddenly smiled, "Mr. Rick, don't forget that we come from the mysterious ancient oriental country!"

Rick choked and felt a little uneasy.

Could it be some mysterious oriental power?

He and his teammates looked at each other.

Ning Xi felt a little amused when she saw his smile stiffen for a moment.

The two bodyguards almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

But now is not the time to play around, Ning Xi immediately said: "This must be put in the fire, so someone needs to go to the upper wind vent to light the fire and sprinkle the powder in the fire."

"Don't worry, ma'am. You can leave this matter to me!" said a bodyguard.

During the exchange of fire just now, he was already itching to do something, but he didn't move because his mission was to protect Ning Xi.

"Okay, you can take two more people with you." Ning Xi handed him the medicine bottle and said to Rick, "Mr. Rick, do you mind letting your drone help with the alert?"

There is not much medicine in this bottle. If it is scattered, it will not knock down many people. But if it is put in the fire, it can knock down a large group of people.

Rick was now curious about the medicine after hearing what they said, so he immediately said, "Of course."

So, after picking two helpers, the bodyguard carefully slipped into the darkness. "Today's three chapters are done! We'll continue tomorrow!"
