"The battle was fierce; my brothers and sisters all died in battle. Later, an elder sister led the remaining tribesn to retreat. Initially, there were only about 70 people. Along the way, we saved many people, and the team grew to its current size. On the day I found them, the elder sister also died protecting a child. So... no matter what, I must ensure the safety of this team. As you Huaxia people say, all my relatives will bless us..."
At that mont.
Su Sanna felt sowhat sorrowful.
Tears slid down her cheeks.
"Cry if you want to."
Chen Fang said.
Su Sanna shook her head.
Bitterly, she said, "I can't cry. I am the spiritual pillar for those elderly, won, and children. If I cry, they'll be even less confident that we can escape. Therefore, I need to be like my father and the others, to beco a warrior of the tribe..."
"Su Sanna..."
Chen Fang wanted to make more effort with the "relocation" matter.
But just like before.
Simply calling her na, she already knew what Chen Fang wanted to say.
She interrupted him directly, saying, "Mr. Chen Fang, please trust my ability. Our situation here is completely different from Huaxia. Your experiences may be useful in Huaxia, but here, they are evidently not feasible."
It seems.
The confidence ingrained in Su Sanna is unshakable.
Perhaps.
She is also trying hard to play the role of a decision-maker.
Early the next morning.
Chen Fang, who was drowsing against the headboard, was startled awake by the commotion outside. He raised his head and saw Lin Youyu walking in, and asked, "What's going on?"
Lin Youyu said, "Everyone's packing up to relocate."
Chen Fang stretched lazily, saying, "Alright, let's help out too."
About two or three hours later.
All the tents were taken down, and so valuables packed neatly.
After the team gathered, Chen Fang realized the problem was more serious than he thought. Many days of hiding, coupled with malnutrition, had left many people weak. Adding to that, the team included twenty or thirty children, the youngest of whom could only be carried in swaddling clothes. Such a team expected to move deep into the mountain forest was certainly going to encounter many unexpected situations.
However, given the current circumstances.
The only option was to push forward.
Su Sanna sent a small team ahead to scout.
Around nine in the morning.
The main force began to move out.
Initially, things went relatively smoothly; however, barely after two hours of walking, issues arose. Many were too exhausted to continue, and the path grew more rugged the deeper they went, causing frequent trips and falls, with the pace dropping to less than a kiloter per hour.
The rearguard brought so bad news.
The Da Lai Clan's main force had arrived.
Engineers were clearing minefields.
In other words, in just about seven or eight hours, they'd be able to pursue extensively.
In the urgency.
Su Sanna was anxious.
But she had no other options, she could only try to help those "holding back" catch up with the main force.
But it's just a drop in the bucket, unable to change the big picture.
Along the way, people kept falling behind, resulting in the entire team being affected and forced to halt for rest.
"Su Sanna, this won't work; the Da Lai Clan engineers are already clearing mines. In just a few hours, they'll solve the problem and catch up with us. We need to look for other solutions."
Chen Fang couldn't stand it anymore.
He found Su Sanna amidst the chaotic team and spoke.
As soon as he opened his mouth.
Su Sanna replied in a highly stern tone, "Mr. Chen Fang, this is my final warning to you. You're indeed our guest, but this team is mine. All decisions should be made by . If I say it's possible, then it's possible. If you challenge my authority again, don't bla for being rude..."
"This woman is simply too stubborn; Ah Fang ant well for you. Truly, good intentions are mistaken for ill will, like a dog biting Lv Dongbin, not understanding a good person's heart..."
Nanda heard this.
Said with so resentnt.
Who would have thought?
Su Sanna directly drew a gun from her waist and pointed it at Nanda's forehead, harshly saying, "I've told you, don't challenge my authority again. I forgive you this ti, but next ti, I'll pull the trigger directly."
Seeing things take a bad turn.
Chen Fang rushed forward to drag Nanda away.
While offering so conciliatory words, Su Sanna finally let it go.
"Why? I've never seen such an unreasonable woman!"
Nanda, being pulled away, was still dissatisfied and wanted to confront Su Sanna.
Chen Fang rudely said, "All won are the sa; when they're unreasonable, you shouldn't think you'll persuade them."
Nanda thought about it.
Realized it made sense.
Sticking out his tongue without speaking further.
After two hours of rest.
The team started moving again.
Just like before, after about an hour, people started falling behind again.
After repeating this several tis, sothing happened!
When night fell.
Sporadic gunshots sounded from behind.
Then.
The rearguard personnel reported that the Da Lai Clan's troops had broken through the minefield and were pursuing; among the dozen people left behind as cover, more than half were sacrificed, with only a few wounded managing to catch up.
Yet.
Su Sanna hadn't realized her mistake.
She assud once night fell.
Da Lai soldiers would surely give up the chase.
Seizing the night to keep rushing.
Would create distance.
Could it really be achieved?
Of course not.
Just five minutes after she made this decision, sothing happened—
A middle-aged woman got bitten by a venomous snake, and the situation looked serious. Additionally, a child accidentally slipped down a slope, breaking two bones.
These were not even the most lethal issues.
The most critical issue was the water shortage.
Don't think just because the rainforest is damp, you don't need to search for water sources, it's not like that. The waterholes in the rainforest are filled with deadly bacteria. Drinking even a sip could cause a diarrhea at best, or lead to poisoning and death.
In such a hot and humid environnt, traveling consus water quickly.
Without traveling far, individuals beca deprived of water replenishnt, leaving everyone too weak to proceed.
Su Sanna could only turn back to encourage them.
However, it yielded little effect.
Facing real hardship, how could these elderly, won, and children possibly obey orders fully?
At this point.
A man ca running from behind.
He yelled sothing while running, looking very panicked.
Chen Fang quickly asked Nanda, "What's happening?"
Nanda was also panic-stricken, saying, "The man said the Da Lai clan's troops didn't stop to rest and have been pursuing us. They aren't too far behind..."
