Cannonballs sounded behind and around them at times, and the SUV was going through a hail of bullets. After a brief period of deafness, Ye Tianxin’s ears gradually adapted to the violent explosion.
Bombs were mortars and a few rockets. Mortars couldn’t hit a speeding SUV accurately, which required constant correction of the firing data or numerous artillery groups calculating the exact amount in advance for artillery coverage. What Ye Tianxin and Tang Song really needed to worry about was the rockets.
At the moment, Ye Tianxin was no longer nervous. She started to concentrate and carefully distinguish the muffled sound of the bombs and their howling sound of flying in the air, then analyzed the sound that threatened them.
In the rearview mirror, Ye Tianxin suddenly saw a rocket with a long tail flame flying towards the SUV they were in.
To avoid a crater ahead, the SUV had just made a side-slip steering, almost like a drift. The strong centrifugal force made it impossible for the SUV to make an evasive action in an instant.
Ye Tianxin shouted decisively, “Tang Song, jump.”
Ye Tianxin’s heart beat fiercely.
Without a word, she opened the door and jumped out of the speeding SUV.
Tang Song also reacted quickly. He jumped out of the SUV almost at the same time as Ye Tianxin did.
When they just jumped off the SUV and were still rolling on the ground due to inertia, a shell landed on the SUV accurately.
A ball of fire and explosions appeared in the eyes and ears of the two at the same time. Fortunately, the SUV that was hit and exploded was more than ten meters away from them, so they survived.
Tang Song and Ye Tianxin were now covered with dust.
After a while, Ye Tianxin got up from the dust with lingering fear.
Looking at the burning SUV, Ye Tianxin couldn’t help feeling deeply. It turned out that it was true to let them write the wills.
People would never know how cruel war was until they were on the battlefield.
It was only on the battlefield that people could realize the insignificance and fragility of life.
Tang Song patted the dust on his hair and said in a low voice, “It seems that the war is spreading faster than we expected. We have to hurry.”
“Okay.”
The sun was scorching in the sky.
The smoke of the gunpowder filled the air.
Ye Tianxin and Tang Song walked silently on this unknown journey.
Ye Tianxin was physically stronger than most girls. However, she couldn’t help but gasp for breath after walking for a while.
Tang Song took out an army kettle. He first put the kettle above his mouth, and took a little water to moisturize his lips.
Ye Tianxin shook her head and also took out an army kettle from her canvas bag.
They stood under an unnamed tree, and each drank some water to replenish the rapid loss of water.
“Come on. Let’s keep going.”
Ye Tianxin didn’t dare to rest for too long. She knew that when people were tired, taking a break would make themselves even more tired.
The only way was to rely on their wills and keep walking forward until they reached their destination.
Ye Tianxin’s feet felt a little sore. Her legs seemed to be shaking when she stopped.
“You seem pretty strong.”
Ye Tianxin replied, “I came from the countryside.”
Tang Song said with admiration, “That explains it.”
