Chapter 3546: A New Addition (162)

Even in the midst of the war in the fallen North Africa, no one, whether government or the rebel army, dared to touch the embassy. It was a local war to begin with. If they were to invade the embassy, it would undoubtedly escalate to an international war.

Chu He stopped the car at the entrance and pushed the door open. The moment she walked through in the darkness, her combat boots trod on a soft corpse. Then, in the pitch-dark silence, she vaguely heard the sound of a gun being loaded.

She immediately calmly raised her hands and said loudly in English, “I’m Chinese. I am unarmed.”

Smack!

A beam of light shone at her face, blinding her.

Chu He calmly accepted the “review” until it was confirmed that she was really Chinese. A light finally came on in the hall.

Under the light, Chu He finally saw clearly that countless Chinese were gathered together here. They were so frightened that they were curled up in a corner and staring back at her anxiously.

Chu He was shocked. She didn’t expect that so many Chinese were still here.

“Why are you all still here?”

“Because… the evacuation fleet has already left. The next batch will only arrive three days later! The embassy people have all evacuated. We are all waiting here for help.”

“Yes, we don’t dare to go out because the embassy is our last safe place. If we go out there, we’d be shot. It’s very dangerous…”

…

It turned out that there were still many Chinese factory employees who did not have the time to evacuate. Hence, many people had streamed into the embassy. In the midst of the crossfire, the embassy was now like a refuge and last safe harbor.

Even though those people did not dare to invade the embassy, there would often be some deranged rebels who disregarded the status of these people as Chinese nationals, and would burn, kill, and plunder the shops and supermarkets owned by Chinese people. They would even run to the embassy to rob food and water.

Although their lives were not endangered, the next batch of reinforcements would only arrive at the port in three days. In other words, they had to stay here for more than four days.

There were many people. Hundreds of people. Food and water were very limited.

All the cash they had on them had been handed over, all of it. But not the food and the water – these had to be properly protected. Otherwise, with so many people, they wouldn’t last four days.

Therefore, even though they were in the embassy, they did not dare to turn on the lights. They were worried that the rebels would see the light source and rush in to rob them.

They had already been robbed once and a few people were injured. Hence, they did not dare to turn on the lights.

Hearing this, Chu He knitted her brows and asked, “In other words, the country will send another ship to be responsible for your evacuation?”

“Yes…”

“Then…” Chu He took a step forward and asked, “Is there anyone from Wirth here?”

A long moment passed before someone in an orange work uniform slowly stood up and asked in surprise, “You’re looking for Wirth’s employees?”

“Yes.”

“The Wirth factory has been taken over by the Hurricane Group! All the employees have been driven out. We have nowhere to go, so we can only follow the crowd to the embassy. All the employees who evacuated in time are already here. Those who did not evacuate are probably trapped in the war zone, their statuses unknown.. I saw with my own eyes that several senior executives had been shot… They died at the entrance of the Wirth factory…”
