?Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Cross Fire   Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Cross Fire                                   Their Health Team’s vehicle had already descended the mountain, crossed the bridge, and was now turning westward.


    Bai Xiao noticed that the roadsides were extremely open, with not even a slight cover within hundreds of meters. If she wasn’t mistaken, ording to the geographical location, this should be what was referred to as the “life and death line.”


    The fourrades escorting their vehicles were also very tense, as they carried a heavy responsibility, especially the two drivingrades. They were experienced drivers specially assigned to escort these femalerades and had more technical expertise in evasive maneuvers during critical moments than others.


    The speed of the vehicle was slowing down.


    Suddenly, Bai Xiao heard an explosion sound,pletely unprepared; it seemed to ur right beside them.


    The seasoned driver steered through the thick smoke, attempting to rush out.


    Although mentally prepared, Bai Xiao was still stunned by the suddenness of the event.


    Upon hearing the explosion, all the female team members instinctively embraced each other, huddling in the corners of the vehicle, their screams merging into a continuous shrill.


    The fourrades kept shouting out loud.


    In fact, after the initial explosion, there were continuous explosions one after another.


    The noise was deafening; everyone’s ears were nearly bursting, and the vehicle’s windows had already shattered into fragments.


    The strong smell of gunpowder choked everyone severely.


    At that moment, who could still hear what the fourrades were shouting, or saying?


    The vehicle sped up and slowed down intermittently, swerving left and right. Along with them was a transport vehicle carrying supplies. At this moment, the only thought in the drivers’ minds was how to evade the attack, how to prevent themselves from being hit, as they had already let loose.


    Bai Xiao and herrades clung to each other. They were fully armed when they boarded the vehicle that day, wearing helmets with straps tightly fastened under their chins, making everyone ufortable. Yet, no oneined or expressed reluctance today.


    For they were passing through that mysterious and terrifying “Gate of Hell,” and at this moment, they finally understood what the so-called “life and death line” meant.


    Besides the roaring explosions, they could also hear the rat-tat-tat sounds.


    The sound was dull, interspersed with many thuds hitting the vehicle’s body. Everyone guessed whether these sounds were from bullets or shells, but in reality, they did not know that these were the sounds of rocks and clods dislodged by the explosions hitting the vehicle.


    All their minds were almost in a nk state.


    This was also Bai Xiao’s first direct encounter with death.


    No one could speak, only instinctively pressing their bodies down as low as possible, away from the windows, desperately squeezing into each corner.


    The surrounding explosions merged into a continuous barrage, amidst the thunderous roar of shells, the Health Team’s vehicle finally crossed the life and death line, and the car turned onto a rudimentary road to the west. Soon, series of tall ridges appeared, blocking the shells.


    Finally, the shelling ceased.


    Although Bai Xiao had escaped the dangerous situation, her tense emotions had not yet recovered; her mind was nk, her face devoid of any color, her heart still pounding rapidly. If someone hade over, they might think this truckload of female team members looked as if they had seen a ghost.


    The driver stopped the vehicle, and after an inspection of the two vehicles, fortunately, only three people had minor injuries, cuts from the ss, which could be easily treated.


    And here, they had to part ways.
