The chief stewardess, her eyes brimming with tears, said, "Director, is there really no way?"

She had personally trained the four flight attendants, and they were very dear to her. She simply couldn't leave them behind.

"Please, send someone to Alimu. I'm begging you, my husband is being threatened with a gun by soldiers. He's in great danger, and only the embassy can save them..." a haggard-looking woman pleaded tearfully.

"I'm begging you, officer, my son is trapped in Alimu. He's only twenty years old. I can't bear to see a parent outlive their child!" cried an elderly man, tears streaming down his face.

"Director, my brother is also in Alimu. I only have this one brother, please send someone to save him..."

"..."

Seeing the chief stewardess pleading, a large crowd suddenly gathered around. Among them were young and old, men and women, all with tear-filled eyes, clearly all with loved ones trapped in Alimu.

The director, seeing this, was also visibly troubled.

He sighed deeply, then seemed to make up his mind, picking up a megaphone to address the crowd: "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to send someone to rescue them, but we cannot find suitable candidates. Moreover, the plane is about to take off, and there are thousands of Chinese nationals stranded here. We cannot delay their departure for the sake of a few.

The situation in Alimu is extremely complex right now, and the conflict could reach the airport at any moment. It could be very dangerous then!"

The director was heartbroken as well, but for the sake of the bigger picture, he could only say so.

Hearing his words, everyone nearby felt a profound sadness, helplessly watching their loved ones face death in a foreign land, without any means to intervene...

The rising sound of crying and the heavy, somber atmosphere seemed to envelop the entire airport, becoming oppressive and suffocating, weighing on the heart like a heavy stone.

The members of the Blood Demon Squad were men of action, unable to bear such a scene.

"Commander, let's go, let's save those people!" Huang Zhentian said, his eyes slightly red.

"Yeah, we can't just stand by and watch Chinese people perish. We were once the country's top elite soldiers!" Miao Mountain nodded vigorously, clenching his fists.

"I don't know if it's because I've been cooped up in the training chamber too long, but my hands and feet are itching. No matter what, I have to stretch my muscles today," chimed in Zhou Nan, the youngest member of the Blood Demon Squad at just seventeen years old.

"I'm going too!"

"Count me in!"

"..."

The other members of the Blood Demon Squad also eagerly volunteered, all wanting to join the rescue.

Ye Qiu saw his former comrades so enthusiastic and said emotionally:

"This rescue doesn't require that many people. Too many would just complicate things. So, Zhentian, Miao Mountain, and I will go. The rest of you stay here; if the airport becomes dangerous, you need to be strong enough to protect everyone here."

Considering that too many people could hinder the rescue, Ye Qiu only named Huang Zhentian and Miao Mountain, the most capable fighters, to accompany him.

"Commander, I also want to go..." Zhou Nan was unwilling to give up, being the most enthusiastic among them.

"Follow my orders. The airport needs protection as well!" Ye Qiu said sternly.

"Yes, sir!" The other four members, including Zhou Nan, immediately stood tall and straight, returning to their old military posture!

After giving his instructions, Ye Qiu approached the busy director, explaining the intention to go to Alimu for the rescue.

"What! You three want to go to Alimu to rescue people?" The director stared at Ye Qiu and his companions as if they were aliens, eyes full of disbelief.

If not for Ye Qiu's serious demeanor, not at all like someone joking, the director might have thought they were messing with him!

After all, given the situation in Alimu, rescuing two hundred hostages without a battalion of elite soldiers seemed impossible.

And now, there were only Ye Qiu and the other two, the director considered the idea insane!

"Here's my ID. You can take a look." Ye Qiu pulled out his identification.

"Here's mine too." Huang Zhentian also presented his ID.

"And mine." Miao Mountain took out his ID from his pocket.

"Special Forces, Demon Corps?"

Seeing their IDs, especially Ye Qiu's, which listed him as the Commander, the director looked at Ye Qiu with astonishment, losing all trace of disdain!

The Demon Corps was renowned, known for being composed of the best of the best, each member formidable!

Though the three held special identities, the director still eyed their claim of rescuing over two hundred people with doubt!

However, given the circumstances, he couldn't afford to overthink. Indeed, these three were no ordinary men, offering a sliver of hope.

Furthermore, public sentiment demanded action. Not sending someone was simply not justifiable.

"Alright, you can go for the rescue. I'll also do my best to coordinate and assist you. But the situation is urgent; I can only stall for three hours at most, since there's accurate information that the conflict will likely reach the airport within a few hours.

By then, no one will be able to leave!"

The director had refrained from saying this earlier to avoid causing panic.

During times of chaos, the scariest thing isn't the war itself, but the fear in people's hearts!

"Okay, before we go, we'll need some weapons," Ye Qiu said.

"That's no problem; I'll have someone bring them to you." In these exceptional times, the director naturally agreed to Ye Qiu's request.

After gearing up with weapons, Ye Qiu and his companions also took a five-starred red flag, ready to depart.

Unexpectedly, at the airport entrance stood a large crowd of Chinese nationals, most with loved ones stuck in Alimu.

Yet many more came voluntarily to see them off because they, too, were Chinese!

The director had already informed the crowd of their plan to go to Alimu while Ye Qiu and the others were gearing up.

So, these people voluntarily gathered to send them off!

After all, this trip to Alimu was almost a suicide mission, but Ye Qiu and his companions were willing to take the risk, especially since they had no personal ties there, a fact deeply moving everyone.

The selflessness shown by Ye Qiu and his companions, putting their lives on the line to save others, was a rare sight in this era!

"Lads, you must come back..."

"No matter what, thank you!"

"If it doesn't work out, don't push it. Staying alive is what's most important."

Ye Qiu and his companions gave a standard military salute to the crowd before driving swiftly towards Alimu.

The red flag mounted at the front of the vehicle flapped vigorously in the wind!

Hundreds of people, tears streaming down their faces, waved at the red flag.

Whether women, or strong men, all were reduced to tears, dampening their clothes!

As the figures of Ye Qiu and the others vanished from sight, the director wiped a tear from the corner of his eye and sighed, "With soldiers like these, China has enough!"
