Shen Nie told her, "Don't be in a hurry to get off; the entire combat zone is vast, with the border line conflict spreading across hundreds of kilometers. We need to head to the command headquarters. If this vehicle isn't going there, we'll have to find a way to get another car and make our own way. Once the car stops, we'll assess the situation."
"Okay, sure..."
Shen Nie, worried that Ming Mei might be scared, squeezed her hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, it's really nothing. Just treat it like an adventure, it could be quite fun, right?"
"I'm not scared anymore, really."
Time always seems to pass very slowly in the dark.
The vehicle kept moving as if it had no intention of stopping.
The sound of artillery grew louder and louder by her ears, giving Ming Mei the sensation that shells were skimming over her head before exploding, testing her eardrums over and over again. Through the thick tarpaulin, it was as if she could even smell the gunpowder.
