Chapter 1317 - Singing the National Anthem to Prove Their Identity (2)

He couldn’t help asking, “Do you have the cars? We have a lot of people here.”

“No. For some special reasons, not only do we not have the cars, but we also have to cross the desert.”

Manager Tao was dumbfounded when he heard what Tang Song said. He lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Tang, we have a total of ninety-eight people here, a hundred people counting you two. You said there are no cars, so what should we do? Are we supposed to walk out of the desert?”

Ye Tianxin looked at manager Tao with an impassive expression and asked, “Why can’t you walk out of the desert?”

“It wouldn’t be a problem if they were all men, but we have pregnant women, children, and the elderly among us.”

“My mission here is to bring you home.”

Manager Tao sighed. He was not stupid. He could tell from Tang Song and Ye Tianxin that both of them had suffered enough to come here.

He had a headache. If the aid-to-construction project didn’t go wrong, that would be fine.

Once something went wrong, the situation would become dangerous.

The more tense the situation outside was, the more they wanted to return home.

They wanted to return to their families in the motherland.

“No. Miss Ye, I didn’t say that you didn’t work hard. I was just wondering why don’t you send the cars over since you can come?”

Tang Song eagerly persuaded him, “Manager Tao, you also know that the situation outside is very tense. The people in other places have already been moved out when the war spreads, but you are the only ones who aren’t not moved out yet. Firstly, it is because you are far from the Embassy. Secondly, it’s because you are between the two forces. What do you think it would be like If we have ten buses coming?”

“I understand.”

“On our way here, we encountered an air raid and a robbery. We also have tried our best to get here. Manager Tao, people can always come up with the solutions, and there will always be a way. Still, you know we can’t stay here all the time. Nobody knows what the situation outside will turn out to be in the end.

During a war, the situation changed every day.

Manager Tao looked at Ye Tianxin, who was standing on the side in silence, and he whispered, “So what is your plan?”

Ye Tianxin took out the map from her canvas bag and spread it out.

“This is the way we came. We can not go back the same way we came.”

Ye Tianxin pointed the other way with her fingers.

“I suggest that we just take this way if we want to go. It’s also the shortest way to the border.”

Manager Tao glanced at the way, and he was the first to refuse.

“No, it is the desert.”

Why were they waiting there all the time? It’s because it’s a desert.

What’s more, there was another country on the other side of the desert.

They might not be able to leave the country when they reached the border.

Given the situation, several people must’ve been flocking to the border.

The people on the other side would never be willing to accept these war refugees.

“It may be the desert, but this is the only option we have. Once we leave here, our peacekeeping force will arrange the next itinerary.”

Manager Tao still thought Ye Tianxin’s proposal was a bit absurd. He couldn’t help but ask, “What if we can’t leave the country once we’ve reached the border?”
