Belinda Nichols has sacrificed herself.
Flossie Wright has disappeared.
Two people, two events, perhaps to Aaron Doom’s men, these are extremely significant incidents, enough to keep them in constant anxiety all day.
That afternoon, the war’s situation had been determined; although the peacekeeping Forces had not been defeated, the government army was beaten miserably. Various civilian Forces joined together to shatter the government army, and before nightfall, the entire country fell into a state of anarchy.
So, as night descended, the whole country turned its hostility towards them, issuing statements internationally, expressing the hope that foreign Forces wouldn’t involve themselves in their civil war, and urging them to evacuate as soon as possible. If they continued to station, they would be attacked continuously until the last one of them lay dead on this land.
The whole country was pressuring them to leave.
Coupled with the day’s warfare, it had already dealt heavy losses to the peacekeeping Forces, Eastlandia was discussing an evacuation plan.
By midnight, Glenn Hutchinson received word to evacuate entirely within two days.
However, at this moment, Glenn Hutchinson still hadn’t received any news about Flossie Wright.
It was said she disappeared after the rocket shelling; Jude Marsh’s team had searched the area for several hours after the combat ended, but found not a single trace.
Two kilometers away, they found Flossie Wright’s sniper rifle.
No further traces after that.
In fact, compared to news of her death, no news at all was already the best news.
But when they had to evacuate, Glenn Hutchinson fell into a dilemma again.
If they didn’t find Flossie Wright within two days, he could only apply to stay behind. Apart from the difficulty in getting approval for this request, more importantly, he would lose much of the information source, and the hope to find Flossie Wright’s whereabouts would be slim.
"Captain, Gavin’s side has news."
Dallion Collins, who had been outside gathering information, finally returned with useful news.
Glenn Hutchinson said expressionlessly.
"She’s now with the Red Revolution Army, and from the captured living mouth, we’ve pried out the words that they indeed belong to Gavin’s people." Dallion Collins relayed all the information in one breath.
Not much was gathered, but it was determined that Flossie Wright was indeed taken by Gavin.
And since Gavin could take away Flossie Wright, it proved she shouldn’t be in mortal danger.
He couldn’t possibly take away a corpse.
Initially, Glenn Hutchinson suspected Gavin and had them focus on investigating Gavin, not expecting that this matter was entirely unsurprising.
"We’re allowed to take a five-person squad to rescue but cannot reveal our identity." Glenn Hutchinson said with furrowed brows.
This was a "special approval" he got after much persuasion.
Indeed, compared to a group of soldiers of a country, the presence of one person like Flossie Wright had no value for them to risk rescuing. If that person wasn’t Flossie Wright but someone unfamiliar, perhaps Glenn Hutchinson wouldn’t go to such great efforts.
After all, the big picture is crucial.
After all, it’s human nature.
But that person is Flossie Wright, so Glenn Hutchinson couldn’t allow her to be in danger without making any effort.
Either live together or die together.
Glenn Hutchinson had once promised Flossie Wright that he would protect her well.
