50: They will explode twenty minutes after the movie starts.

Xiao Niannian and her companions' seats were in the last few rows. When Xiao Niannian walked over, two of them had already sat down, one in front of the other. The two who had been carrying the black handbag had already entered the adjacent room.

Xiao Niannian listened to the commotion inside.

"The Chinese Soldiers dared to shoot down our plane. This time, we must make them pay a huge price."

"There are ten landmines here. We'll set them up and light this incense... Twenty minutes after the movie starts, they will explode..."

Holy crap, Xiao Niannian cursed internally. These bastards were retaliating by bombing the cinema because their demonstrative invading plane had been shot down.

Xiao Niannian looked around. The only people she knew in the cinema were Li Le and Zheng Wu, and Hu Ping and Yang Fang were also there. Not far away were Wu Jiaojiao and her group.

Li Le saw Xiao Niannian looking around and felt a doubt arise in her heart.

"Niannian, what's wrong?"

Xiao Niannian made a gesture, and Li Le's expression immediately changed.

There's danger. The enemy is inside.

Li Le had been in the Military Unit for so many years and was very familiar with hand gestures. Her heart jolted. What had Xiao Niannian discovered?

She walked over and lowered her voice.

"What's going on?"

"Someone is going to bomb the cinema. I smell gunpowder. They have landmines and guns. You quickly go outside and see if there are any comrades from the Military Unit. Please ask them to come in and help. You must be careful... There are only twenty minutes..."

Li Le looked at Xiao Niannian, her tone somewhat serious.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I heard it just now."

Li Le stared at Xiao Niannian. After spending a few days together, she knew that Xiao Niannian was a person of few words but very kind. And as a Soldier, she would never lie about such a matter.

"You go out and call for people, I'll keep watch here."

Li Le felt that as a Squad Leader, her reconnaissance skills were better than Xiao Niannian's, a New Recruit. If Xiao Niannian went out to call for people, she could both get help and save her life if something happened inside.

"No, Squad Leader, you go call for people. I don't know many people here, and my martial arts skills are better than yours."

Hearing Xiao Niannian say her martial arts skills were better than hers, Li Le was slightly surprised. She believed Xiao Niannian.

"Okay, I'll go out now."

Xiao Niannian took out a pen and paper and wrote down a few phone numbers for Li Le: one for Regiment Commander Wang and one for Lu Jing.

"You can call either of these numbers. Tell them the situation here and say that Xiao Niannian discovered it. They will believe you... Also, when you make the call, pay attention to the people at the phone booth; there might be their accomplices there too..."

"I understand."

Li Le took the phone numbers, glanced at them, and immediately memorized them. She looked at the other few people, feeling that more people should be sent to find help.

"I'll tell Zheng Wu and the others; they know to keep it a secret. Don't tell Hu Ping and the others yet."

Hu Ping and the others usually only talked about food and clothing and couldn't endure hardship. If they were told about this, they wouldn't be able to keep it a secret, and it might alert the enemy immediately.

She exhorted Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian nodded and walked to the back.

Li Le glanced at Xiao Niannian, her heart filled with worry. She looked at Qian Si and Zheng Wu and said,

"You all come out with me, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Squad Leader Li Le's serious expression, they all felt a little nervous, and their faces also became serious.

"What's wrong, Squad Leader?"

"Squad Leader, what's wrong with you?"

Li Le pulled them and ran outside, reaching the exterior of the cinema.

"There are enemy agents in the cinema. They are carrying guns, grenades, and other weapons..."

Upon hearing Li Le's words, the faces of these few people instantly turned pale.

"Squad Leader, what should we do?"

"Should we call and report to the Regiment?"

"I have the phone numbers here. I'll make the calls. You all go outside and help find people. If you find the Regiment Commander or other leaders, bring them to me..."

Li Le instructed these few people.

"What about Niannian? She's in there alone, it's too dangerous."

"Her martial arts skills are better than all of ours; she'll protect herself. Now, all of you listen to my command..."

Lu Jing came to the County Government with Fang Qiang, He Yong, and Xiao Cui for business. After finishing, the other three said they wanted to watch a movie. Lu Jing had no interest in watching movies.

Xiao Cui suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, among the people who just went in, one of them looks like Comrade Xiao Niannian."

Hearing that Xiao Niannian had entered the cinema, Lu Jing immediately looked over and saw Xiao Niannian walking in.

"I heard that the New Recruit Regiment also has a day off today."

"Buy tickets and go into the cinema."

Lu Jing remembered Grandma Xiao's concern for Xiao Niannian, and he planned to go and say a few words to Xiao Niannian, to ask about her situation.

He had originally planned to ask Xiao Niannian during shooting training in a few days.

Xu Yang also came to watch a movie with Wu Jiaojiao today. Before the New Year, he had planned to accompany Wu Jiaojiao to the movies, but work delayed it. Later, Xiao Yueyue arrived, and these days, he had been trying to find a solution. The matter of him having a fiancée had also spread throughout his unit and the Cultural Troupe. He was incredibly annoyed.

In recent days, he had met Xiao Yueyue, found her a job, and she was now working at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Xiao Yueyue was still stubbornly refusing to cancel the engagement. His Grandparents were also pressuring him, telling him to marry Xiao Yueyue as soon as possible.

Xu Yang absolutely could not marry Xiao Yueyue; the person he wanted to marry was Jiaojiao. Moreover, his mother also felt that a girl like Jiaojiao was the only one worthy of him. His mother said she would help him talk to his Grandparents.

His father's attitude was still the same as his Grandparents'.

"Jiaojiao, after we finish watching the movie today, I'll take you back to the Cultural Troupe, and then I'll go deal with things."

"Brother Xu Yang, you should take care of things. I'll wait for you. I believe your Grandparents will definitely change their minds..."

Wu Jiaojiao was already thinking of ways to introduce a partner to Xiao Yueyue. This way, if Xiao Yueyue fell in love with someone else, she wouldn't cling to Brother Xu Yang anymore.

After Li Le ran out, she made two calls, but the first one didn't go through. The second one connected, but the person who answered said Captain Lu wasn't there, making Li Le incredibly anxious.

The movie was about to start.

"I am Li Le from the New Recruit Regiment. There are enemy agents in the County Government cinema, and they are going to attack the cinema. Please report it immediately for help..."

The person on the other end of the phone, hearing Li Le's words, also became serious.

"comrade Li Le, I will report the message immediately."

After Li Le finished her call, she looked around and happened to see Fang Qiang and He Yong.

These were people from the Division Headquarters' Special Forces Brigade. She had interacted with them before. This was great, now there was hope.
