Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 173 The Ultimate Scumbag - Welcome Home

No matter what little thoughts everyone had, they still protected each other and walked one after another for a long time. Finally, on the fifth day, they arrived at the street where the embassy was located.

Joy did not bloom on anyone's face.

Only the ruins of the embassy were left, and it seemed that it had been severely bombed.

Disappointment, despair, and even silent crying.

Even though everyone felt like life was hopeless, no one was shouting or yelling. Silence was ingrained in their bones.

Zhou Leng looked around and saw a slightly reflective metal plate in the ruins. She walked over and wiped off the black ash with her sleeve. On it were the words "Chinese can go to the port of Reimer" carved with a sharp knife.

Zhou Leng waved his hand, and everyone gathered around and saw the metal plate. Under the wiped-off black ash, Chinese characters with hope were revealed.

Lu Zhanhao took out a map and calculated the location according to the scale. He said in despair, "It will take at least ten days to walk."

Zhou Leng looked up at him and said firmly: "Then let's walk."

Lu Zhanhao said worriedly: "We don't have much water left."

Zhou Leng looked at everyone and said:

"Starting today, you have to save your urine. Nausea won't kill you, but dehydration can. Don't throw away the empty bottle. You can use it if you come across a water source on the way. Everyone, calm down. We are going to the port. We will definitely make it back alive."

In fact, Zhou Leng didn't inspire much for the crowd, but one person made a firm decision, and everyone had a backbone. Now they could either wait to die here or look for a glimmer of hope.

Twenty or so people began to move forward on foot again.

This is not a city in their motherland. They have to avoid the war zone and walk in the hidden places of the desert Gobi. They also have to endure the scorching sun and water loss.

Eight days later.

Everyone had lost their water source, so they walked for another day, enduring hunger and thirst.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Leng picked up the bottle of her urine, opened it and poured it directly into her mouth. After drinking it, she took out a piece of dry food from her pocket and put it into her mouth to remove the smell.

Ai Jia couldn't help but ask, "Dandan, is there any secret to drinking this?"

Zhou Leng looked at everyone and replied:

"Don't be curious. Taste it carefully. Just swallow it and eat a cookie to reduce the taste."

Shu Dong frowned slightly and said, "It's rare that you still have the energy to play a joke on us."

Everyone looked at each other, but finally they pinched their noses and drank it, then took the biscuits and stuffed them into their mouths.

Everyone's expression was the same, it was the expression of someone who had eaten shit.

On the eleventh day of the walk, when they didn't have enough urine to drink, Zhou Leng climbed up a high slope first and said, "I saw the five-star red flag. We have arrived!"

Zhou Leng, with cracked lips and hoarse voice, looked at the fluttering flag. It was a familiar look to her.

Lu Zhanhao followed her up, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said with pride: "We are here, we are saved, there are people waiting there, we have not been abandoned."

Everyone was very excited, but they didn't have the strength to run over. They supported each other and slowly walked towards the direction of the flag.

Finally, everyone saw a sign in both Chinese and English, which read - China Security Zone, No Entry for Unauthorized Persons.

Everyone covered their mouths out of habit and cried silently.

At this moment, a soldier was coming from a distance. It was a young man. He came over and saluted everyone and said, "You have worked hard. From now on, your safety will be in our hands. Welcome home."

Everyone couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Lu Zhanhao returned a military salute to the other party.

Zhou Leng held back the tears in her eyes. She felt that she could not lose any more water.

Everyone followed the soldiers to the place where supplies were stored, picked up the water and drank it frantically, then opened the bread and ate it.

After Zhou Leng ate a piece of bread, she asked:

"Comrade, why aren't there many people here? I thought there would be a lot of people here."

The soldier replied:

"We are staying here. Many Chinese who were not in the war zone have been sent away long ago. They are probably back to their motherland now. There are still many Chinese who have lost contact after reporting. We are waiting here. If the Sibang government forces rescue the Chinese, they will send them here."

Zhou Leng nodded to indicate that he understood.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they were led into the warship and given beds to rest.

After the soldier settled everyone down, he said:

"You guys take a rest first. I'll go outside to keep watch. We may stay here for a few days until the next warship arrives, and then we can set off again. We will wait here until every Chinese person returns home."

Everyone was moved and said, "You have worked hard, thank you."

Inside the warship, everyone was finally sure it was safe. There was no need to take a shower or wash their faces. They put down their backpacks and took off their clothes and shoes.

The stench was overwhelming.

Everyone wiped their feet with the wet wipes provided by the warship. Some people had blisters on their feet, which broke, and some places had even festered.

The moans of pain echoed.

Although Zhou Leng did not have such a problem, the smell in the room was too sour and refreshing. She could only wipe her face, hands and feet, plug her nose and fall asleep.

Three days later, the warship started and they set out on their journey home.

Everyone took a warship to a safe place and then transferred to a plane.

When everyone set foot on the land of Taipei City, they were actually very silent. Although their hands and feet were shaking with excitement, they did not make any sound.

It seems that everyone has become accustomed to keeping quiet no matter what they hear or see.

Because the news of the civil war in Xibang had already spread throughout the country, the program group leaders were unable to contact the people who were recording the event, and they had reported the matter to their superiors for fear of taking responsibility.

As soon as everyone landed and left the airport today, they were surrounded by the "Let's Travel Together" program crew and their families. Everyone hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Everyone was celebrating their survival, except Zhou Leng, who had no relatives to pick her up. Her executive director Lei Lei came forward to hug her and said encouragingly:

"I couldn't contact your parents. The contact number you wrote is invalid. Sorry."

Zhou Leng hugged him back, and said indifferently:

"It's okay. It saves them from worrying. Maybe my mom changed her phone number and forgot to tell me."

Lei Lei patted Zhou Leng's shoulder to comfort him. The other party didn't know that Zhou Leng had deliberately written it wrong.

No matter how thrilling it was, the show ended perfectly.

The chief director brought everyone to a hotel, where they reserved a table to welcome everyone, to get rid of the bad luck on them and to experience the life of ordinary people.

All the guests sat at the main table. Ai Jia raised her glass to toast Zhou Leng. She said sincerely:

"Dandan, although you may have harsh words, you are a responsible and capable person. Thank you for keeping watch for everyone along the way."

When everyone heard what Ai Jia said, they all raised their glasses and shouted excitedly, "Cheers to Dandan."

Zhou Leng stood up and took the wine glass. She smiled and responded, "Of course, we'll keep in touch in the future."

boom.

Everyone drank it all in one gulp.
