When the two cars made their way to the garrison, the battalion was empty and was left with bodies and blood on the ground.
It turned out that on that night, Gong Father woke up from his coma and learned that Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo had rushed into the city to find his son. He couldn't sit still and immediately mobilized the army to go to Kyushu warehouse in the western suburbs.
The arms purchased by Lin family were not handed over to Gong Xiangyi for safekeeping [1]. Instead, they were secretly place in a Kyushu warehouse belonging to the Lin Group in the western suburbs. If the army wanted to rescue the people in the city, they must first clean up the roads. To clear the roads, a large number of heavy armored vehicles, tanks and trailers were required.
Although the A province was a big province and was under the Gong family's control, because of the Song family, their supplies in the army were extremely scarce. There were only 100 tanks, armored vehicles and helicopters which were all sixty years old [2]. Old goods could not be used in actual combat as it was likely to malfunction in the middle of a battle. In the case of a large-scale action, the provincial military region of A province had to borrow second-hand weapons from their neighboring provincial military regions. If this was not the case, Gong Yuanhang would not have been forced to find Old Lin for help.

After the army was fully assembled in Kyushu warehouse, it immediately proceeded to the northern suburbs along the western suburbs, trying to find Gong Lixin in the shortest time possible. Because Gong Yuanhang knew that since only a dozen of people was with Song Haoran, the chances of finding his son were undoubtedly more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. He was a soldier, but also a father. Usually, because of his busy military affairs, he ignored his son. But when he was about to lose him, he realized how much his son meant to him in his mind.
Thus for the first time, Gong Yuanhang, who was normally upright and selfless, decided to find his own son first before rescuing the rest of the survivors in the city. It was the responsibility of the army to protect the country. But now the country was no more, and it was more practical to keep his family safe first.
When Gong father left, he had some of his manpower to transport the remaining arms to the boot camp at the border of the province, and Old Lin was responsible for supervising the delivery work. Old Lin was nearly eighty years old and could no longer afford to run around on the battlefield.
Inside the military base, Gong Xiangyi had tried to find her father many times but was driven away by his expressionless face. He was now unwilling to listen to his daughter's grievances and pleas of innocence. All that could wait until he found his son.
Gong Xiangyi hurried and sat in a military truck to accompany Grandfather Lin to A province's border. Looking at the fleet that nearly stretched a kilometer and the dozens of helicopters carrying arms above her head [3], she turned and looked at the old man who had his eyes closed. She wished to please him and thus offered: "Grandfather, so many firearms, why didn't you store it in my space in the first place?"
In her space? Her space still had plenty of room and they wouldn't have had to spend so much effort transporting the arms now. But he knew that he couldn't put all of his eggs in one basket, which was why they didn't let her store the firearms.
Grandfather Lin opened his eyes and his deep and wise eyes faintly looked at her before he slowly opened. "No, I'm Lin Mao. I've never been afraid of a little trouble." After his words fell, he closed his eyes again. He obviously didn't want to talk to Gong Xiangyi again.
