At this moment, Shen Mengqi was also at a loss, somewhat regretting why she had let her impulsiveness cloud her judgment and brought her sister to America for a trip. It turned out that this world was not as beautiful as they had imagined!
During this time, there were indeed strong men who offered to take them away, but she firmly refused. She did not dare to take risks, like a hedgehog with its quills raised, and like a startled bird, she stubbornly held her ground. She knew very well that the more it came to this, the more she needed to stay calm and not panic.
In a flash of inspiration, Shen Mengqi seemed to think of something. She pulled her sister Shen Jiajia and hid in a corner, then hurriedly fumbled for her phone. Shen Jiajia watched Shen Mengqi's actions with a hint of confusion in her watery eyes and timidly asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Shen Mengqi ignored her and continued searching until she finally found her phone. Looking at the high-tech Patriot Phone in her hand, Shen Mengqi took a deep breath, seeing it as a lifeline.
"I will contact the Embassy now. With something like this happening, the country will definitely send someone to bring us back."
Shen Jiajia was completely panicked; she had no idea what to do next and placed all her hopes on Shen Mengqi.
"Xiao Ai, dial the Embassy's number."
After two beeps, the call went through.
However, at this moment, there were simply too many people trying to call the Embassy, and the line was completely busy. Shen Mengqi tried many times, but she couldn't get through. If it weren't for her concern for her sister, she would have been unable to hold back the urge to cry out loud!
Her face grew paler, and her hand holding the phone trembled. Shen Jiajia was terrified, pressing closely against Shen Mengqi, her head resting in her sister's lap as she sobbed softly.
"Sister, do you think we might die here... I miss Mom and Dad! I shouldn't have been so willful before..."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Shen Jiajia recalled the past days, her nose turning red from crying as she wiped her tears and snot with her wrist. "I haven't even been in a relationship yet; how can I be dying?"
"Don't cry; we need to be strong!"
Shen Mengqi, being a few years older, forced herself to calm down. She gently patted her sister's back and said, "The country will definitely rescue us. The Embassy is in the city; even if there is chaos, it won't reach the Embassy. We need to go to the Embassy."
America was in complete turmoil, and they had to get to the Embassy as quickly as possible. The longer they delayed, the more dangerous it became for them. The government forces were still organized; knowing they were citizens of Huajia, they would never harm them. However, the rebel forces had no such scruples.
In the area where both sides were exchanging fire, every extra minute spent there reduced the hope of survival. They decided they could not just sit and wait for death.
"We're leaving here."
Shen Mengqi abandoned all her belongings, taking only her identification and some money. After a moment's thought, she also grabbed some food and water. She pulled her sister Shen Jiajia up from the ground and started dragging her toward the exit.
However, upon hearing the occasional gunfire from outside, Shen Jiajia's legs went weak, and she simply couldn't get up.
"Sister, I'm scared. Can we stay here? Can we wait for the Embassy to find us? I'm scared, I'm really scared..."
Shen Jiajia couldn't withstand the pressure and burst into tears.
The gunfire outside, which had gradually subsided, flared up again, and the screams never ceased.
She huddled in place like a frightened little rabbit, trembling uncontrollably.
She was afraid that if she stepped outside, she would end up like those survivors—killed by stray bullets, robbed by the Rebels, or even subjected to assault and abduction...
She didn't want to die; she wanted to live.
