Chapter 1871: They Were Done For!
Huo Sanyan also wanted to go to the frontlines to get first-hand information for the group so she agreed to go with the cameraman. They took a risk and went through the shrubbery to take a look at the other side.
The frontlines were very quiet up until now. However, that was just a superficial appearance. Fei Country scouts had been hiding in the shrubbery all this while to observe every one of the Dragon Kingdom’s movements.
But Huo Sanyan and the cameraman were not aware of it. From the moment they stepped foot over the border, they had already fallen into the enemy’s scopes.
All of the enemies were lying in wait in the shrubbery. They could see each of their movements very clearly using binoculars.
The Fei Country soldiers saw that one of them was carrying a camera and didn’t look like a soldier. They kept on observing them and decided to capture them alive to use them as hostages.
Just as the cameraman found a suitable place to start recording, Huo Sanyan heard sounds coming from the shrubbery. As she had sharp eyes, she realized someone seemed to be coming from over there. She quickly told the cameraman to run away.
“Not good! We have been discovered! Run quickly!”
They broke into a run and the Fei Country scouts gave chase and were not willing to let them go. Moreover, they had already split up and some of them were already going to the front, preparing to outflank them.
“Throw the camera away!”
Huo Sanyan turned around and saw that the cameraman was still carrying the camera and quickly reminded him to get rid of it.
The camera was too heavy so the cameraman had no choice but to throw it away and run frantically with her.
Her eyes could almost see the border but a few people suddenly emerged in front of her. They were holding weapons and blocked their way.
Huo Sanyan and the cameraman had no choice but to stop. They turned around and saw that the people behind them had also caught up.
Right now, their path had been blocked and they were surrounded. The Fei Country’s scout was speaking the Fei language and they couldn’t understand him.
They used their guns to signal for them to raise their hands. Huo Sanyan raised her hand and, at the same time, raised her journalist pa.s.s to show it to them.
As international treaties included protection for journalists and doctors during war, every country needed to follow them.
If they killed them during the war, it meant they had violated the international treaty.
Huo Sanyan and the cameraman could only hold onto this hope to see whether or not they could be pardoned.
They saw their journalist pa.s.ses and cross-checked their faces. They then communicated with each other for a while.
Although Huo Sanyan couldn’t understand what they were saying, from looking at them, she could somewhat guess that some of them supported letting them go, and some were determined to keep them captive.
Huo Sanyan took advantage of the situation while they were arguing and gave the cameraman a glance. The two of them then took the opportunity to start running.
The soldiers saw them escape and started chasing after them out of conditional reflex. They might have decided not to let them go and chased them to the border again.
They were afraid of alerting the Dragon Kingdom’s soldiers so they didn’t fire their guns. Instead, they tried their best to chase after them. While at an important moment, the cameraman fell down. Huo Sanyan had no choice but to turn back to help him up.
However, before they even got up, the soldiers already had their weapons pointed at them.
They were really done for!
Huo Sanyan felt regret. She really shouldn’t have snuck over the border!
Now that they had been captured by the enemy country, how could they still possibly live?
Just as Huo Sanyan started to think they definitely wouldn’t be able to escape today, a few gunshots cut through the sky, breaking the temporary silence at the border.
Three Fei scouts fell down immediately. The other three realized something was happening. When they turned around and lifted their weapons to resist, it was already too late.
A dark figure appeared in front of them as quick as lightning. What followed were a few swift kicks that knocked them down.
