At night, the faint smell of gunpowder smoke drifted into the room. Liu Xu, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, frowned slightly and then unfolded his eyebrows.

A few kilometers away, a small-scale battle had just ended; the smoke was drifting over from there.

On the third floor, in the room at the end of the corridor, Robles was holding the phone and talking happily, looking proud.

Just half an hour ago, a rebel leader under his control attacked a stronghold of the Zhengfu Army under his instruction and won a great victory.

And that stronghold was built secretly by Alyssa's father three months ago in order to move his family there as a shelter in a critical moment.

Only no more than ten people know about this matter.

The purpose of Robles' doing this was to warn Alyssa's father not to act rashly.

Kindness and compassion are more expensive than luxury goods in a war-torn country.

During the luncheon, Robles saw how guilty Alyssa and her father were towards Liu Xu. Although they had made an agreement in advance, and Alyssa's young brother was also a member of the clan whose status was now in shaky state.

The only heir to the throne is still in his hands, and he must add another layer of insurance on top of this!

On the top floor of the attic, Alyssa and her father stood side by side at the window, looking at the flickering firelight in the distance, their faces pale.

Ever since Liu Xu was taken to the so-called guest room to rest by Robles' people, Alyssa has been begging her father to find a way to help Liu Xu.

Human nature is so strange.

When Alyssa was forced to call Liu Xu for help, although she felt guilty, she instinctively thought that Liu Xu would not come.

And the moment she saw Liu Xu, she felt only deep regret and self-blame.

If she knew this would be the result, she would rather choose to die together as a family than to deceive such a kind person into coming here and handing her life into the hands of a group of inhuman animals!

However, it was already too late.

Faced with his daughter's request, the number one figure in Syria, who had tried his best but was ultimately unable to save his life, was just a little shaken when the scene happened in front of him.

His young son is still in the hands of others, and his future is now cut off. What other choice can he make?

If he had known this was the case, he would never have chosen this path!

As the people who were loyal to him died one after another in this damn war, this once high-spirited middle-aged man became more and more decadent.

In his heart, he no longer feared death, and was even ready to welcome it with a smile.

However, his family did not make any mistakes and they should not be buried with him!

A daughter in her prime, a son who is still young...Did they do anything wrong?

However, who would care?

The cruelty of war will not change for the elderly or immature children. If you want to survive, you must endure hardships.

Even... it's harmful!

Seeing her father's face gradually darkening, Alyssa knew that her father would not agree to save Liu Xu.

She stood up lonely, turned around and wanted to walk out, but was stopped by her father:

"Alyssa, I don't allow you to ruin the plan; you have to remember that your brother is still in the hands of those people; if you do something you shouldn't have done, then you killed your brother with your own hands!"

Alyssa's body suddenly trembled, and after a long while she softly said "hmm" and walked out of her father's room...

After all, she was just a little girl. Although she felt guilty towards Liu Xu, what did she do by herself in such an environment?

As for Liu Xu, he didn't need her help at all.

At this moment, he was already... asleep on the sofa.

Yes, he was asleep, and he was very familiar with it. He was in an absolute deep sleep.

At this time, Liu Xu's mentality had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The last time was in Syria, he took action himself in a rage, and as a result, the rebels were subdued by Basha and lost the ability to move.

However, my feelings about the killing that time were not very clear.

This time, he had shot and killed five rebels at almost face-to-face distance more than ten hours ago.

Although the quantity is small, the feeling is completely different.

Originally, Liu Xu himself thought that it would take a long time to get rid of this psychological stress, but until the sleepiness of lying on the sofa hit him, he did not feel the slightest fear or uneasiness after killing someone.

If that's the case, then what are you waiting for if you don't sleep?

Besides, only after you have rested can you have the energy to take the next step...

At 2:30 in the morning, Liu Xu slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.

The people responsible for guarding him were divided into two groups and took turns to rest. The two soldiers who were from the Stars and Stripes Kingdom like Robles simply handed over the guarding of Liu Xu to the six Syrian soldiers and went directly.

I walked into the bedroom and slept on the black label Simmons mattress, snoring like thunder.

Liu Xu had chosen this time early in the morning.

During this period, people feel most sleepy and naturally their vigilance is at its lowest.

At the same time, this night is also the best time to get away.

After today, maybe these Stars and Stripes people will treat themselves in a different way.

In the darkness, Liu Xu deliberately controlled his breathing and quietly observed the Syrian soldier closest to him.

There are three soldiers in this group responsible for guarding, two of them are guarding near the door, and one is sitting on the sofa opposite Liu Xu, with the muzzle of the gun in his hand pointed at his head.

The other three people were not inside the house. They were probably guarding the corridor outside and resting at the same time.

After confirming the position of his opponent, Liu Xu pretended to turn over, rubbed his eyes and sat up.

The Syrian soldier sitting opposite him immediately sat up straight and looked at him without saying a word.

Liu Xu smiled at the other party and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

The man immediately stood up, as if I would follow you wherever you go.

Liu Xu didn't say anything, put on his shoes leisurely, and walked slowly to the bathroom.

The other two Syrian soldiers also noticed the movement here and found that their companions were following Liu Xu, so they didn't pay much attention.

In this regard, Liu Xu made perfect use of common problems in human character.

If those two Star-Spangled Soldiers were looking at him, he would never adopt such an approach.

There is an old Chinese saying that people who are not of our race will have different hearts. This is exactly the case with the relationship between these Syrian soldiers and the Star-Spangled Kingdom.

No matter what, they will never execute Robles' orders like they execute Alyssa's father's orders.

Especially after seeing that the two Stars and Stripes soldiers had gone to the bedroom to sleep.

This is exactly the opportunity Liu Xu needs!

Pushing open the bathroom door, the Syrian soldier followed in.

While Liu Xu took off his belt, he looked at the toilet behind him in a joking manner, and then at the Syrian soldier; his consciousness seemed to be asking:

"Are you sure you want to smell it here?"

Liu Xu also had some understanding of the national beliefs of Syrians.

Things like excretion are dirty everywhere. He didn't think that this Syrian soldier would really stand here and look at him... so what.

As expected, the Syrian soldier immediately showed disgust on his face after understanding what he meant.

After a slight hesitation, he turned around and walked toward the door.
