"Madam, watch out!"
Henry protected Mango almost immediately.
The loud noise made everyone's ears numb.
Mango couldn't hear for a while, but she quickly pushed Henry away and ran straight to the window.
The war was raging outside and it seemed that it was about to break out.
Mango had never seen a war before. She always thought that she was living in a peaceful era and that she would never have a chance to see a war in her life. But at this moment, she realized how cruel war was.
It seemed that some people were blown up. For a moment, all the sounds were mixed together and it made everyone feel very uncomfortable.
"Madam, it's dangerous here."
Henry was about to drag Mango away when Michael walked over.
"This is war. Compared to our era, the current war is even crueller because the current war weapons are too advanced. There is a chance they would use nuclear weapons as well."
Mango's chest tightened bit by bit.
She didn't know that the environment here was so bad before she came. After she arrived, she knew how frightening it was to live here.
"What can I do?"
At this moment, Mango understood Rainie.
She understood why Rainie didn't go after Thomas even though she was worried. Instead, Rainie would do everything she could to help those injured.
Rainie knew that even if she went out to look for Thomas, she might not be able to find him.
Thomas was in the same situation as Nathaniel, Walter, and the others. Thomas was a soldier and he was an elite agent. Since they went out to complete their mission, it was impossible for inexperienced women like them to find him.
The reason why she came here was that she wanted to get closer to them, and she imagined that she would meet them by chance.
But they couldn't just wait idly. They had to do something for the sake of their husbands, even if it was just to relieve the pain for their comrades.
Michael seemed to be a little surprised by Mango's question.
"I thought you would ask me where Mr. Ye is."
"I want to, but I know that you don't know either. Even if you do, you may not be able to tell me. You are afraid that I will become a burden to him, and you are also afraid that you won't be able to explain it to Nathan if I get hurt. You can rest assured that this is not a place I am familiar with, so I won't rush forward rashly or act like a hero. I will only do things I can do like Rainie. I will wait here for Nathan and the others to come back!"
Mango's words stunned Michael again.
He looked at Mango and he was speechless for a long time.
Perhaps a person only needed a moment to grow up, or maybe feelings would stay regardless of life or death.
Michael looked at the gunfire outside and said in a low voice, "I don't know either, but I know that they used the cannon instead of nuclear weapons. This means that their nuclear weapons have malfunctioned or they don't dare to use them. Either way, this means that Mr. Ye may have succeeded! They'll be back soon."
This might be the best news Mango had heard after coming here.
"Mango! Mango!"
She suddenly heard Rainie shouting behind her in an urgent voice.
Mango turned her head immediately.
"I'm here!"
Mango's voice was very loud and it immediately attracted Rainie's attention. When she saw that Mango was alright, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Don't run around. You just arrived and you don't know the situation here. You'd better stay with me. If you can, you can go back by helicopter. It's not safe here!"
Rainie continued to ramble on as she grabbed Mango's hand and left.
Mango's heart suddenly warmed a little.
