Chapter 1389: Chapter 1408 Chen Jing

"Do you even realize where we are?" The words of Ding Jiaqi had barely left her lips before someone couldn’t resist the urge to be sarcastic.

"The whole of Kannaya is engulfed in war, and this place is the Tyrant’s base, for heaven’s sake. You’d have to be out of your mind to think about running from here."

"No, it won’t be like that." Ding Jiaqi stubbornly bit her lip. She believed that her country wouldn’t abandon them. Even if no one came to rescue her, she would never give up hope.

She would try her best to persist and find a way to save everyone.

Ding Jiaqi stood up, looking at the people around her with disappointment. Her gaze flitted across each and every gaunt, indifferent face, constantly telling herself not to be angry or disappointed, as this was a normal human reaction.

In any case, she would not be beaten.

"Professor Zhu, let me help you check on your health." Ding Jiaqi forced a smile and proactively moved to examine the ailing professor.

After all, she was a top medical student from the hospital, her abilities were plain for all to see. If it weren’t for her boldness in demanding food from the guards, everyone would have starved to death a long time ago.

The faces of the others all looked unwell, some hung their heads low pretending to be non-existent.

And some were red in the face, embarrassed.

"Jiaqi, thank you." Professor Zhu thanked her with a gentle tone.

Ding Jiaqi’s eyes lit up, feeling greatly consoled to receive others’ gratitude. At least her efforts were worthwhile. Ding Jiaqi gave Professor Zhu a confident smile and shook her head, saying, "There’s no need for courtesy, Professor Zhu, I’m just doing what I should. You have to hold on; we will be able to get out soon."

"Okay." Professor Zhu looked at the beautiful, confident, and strong girl in front of him, as if he was looking at his own younger family member, feeling that even if he were to die here and couldn’t return, it would be acceptable.

Ding Jiaqi felt tears welling up in her eyes, not wanting to show weakness in front of everyone, she quickly turned around and said, "I’ll go see if there is any medicine."

"Jiaqi, I’ll go with you." A tall woman stood up from the ground, glaring contemptuously at a man cowering on the floor, "Coward, spineless, a complete disgrace to all men."

"Okay, Jingjing, let’s stop that and go," said Ding Jiaqi, the eternal good person, as she pulled Chen Jing’s hand and dragged her away.

The warehouse was large, and when they reached the door, they could clearly hear the sound of it being opened from the outside, which made them shudder in fright. They looked at each other, afraid to go back, thinking that if they went back the way they came they would be subject to ridicule.

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll go; you wait here." Ding Jiaqi tried to put on a pale smile.

The guards outside were too brutal and fierce; one could hardly imagine what would happen if they managed to provoke them.

"No way!" Chen Jing decisively refused, "You are our leader; if you die, then we are truly doomed."

Chen Jing was inherently bold and had a pronounced sense of justice and responsibility, which was why she chose to join the medical team in the first place.

"But you..."

Ding Jiaqi was about to speak but was pushed away by Chen Jing, who strode up to the door and started banging loudly on it. The thick iron door issued a dull and grating sound from the impact.

"Open up, our people are sick; we need medicine, we need food. Open the door, open the door!" Chen Jing showed no signs of backing down, her face set with determination.

Ding Jiaqi stood not far away, her shoulders hunched and lips pale, watching nervously.

Suddenly, there was a gunshot from outside, Chen Jing’s legs gave way in fright, and just then the door opened. Chen Jing, who had been propping it, lost her balance and fell towards the ground—
