The ruckus gradually died down, and people exchanged uneasy looks. The man leading the crowd had no idea what was going on, but when he saw his wife tugging at his sleeve, he quieted down too. The scene took on an eerie calm.

Then, medical supplies and feminine products started getting unloaded. After a moment of stunned silence, folks dropped their tools and stepped up to help.

Conversations began to ripple through the crowd, echoing a shared belief that the government hadn't forgotten them after all.

Among the helpers, though, was Fisher's informant, subtly passing information while pitching in. But the newcomers were all bundled up, their faces hidden from view.

Fisher, originally preoccupied and planning to confront Brielle due to his waning patience, was intrigued by the lookout's report of strangers arriving.

Could it be his son's doing?

The villagers' uncharacteristic lack of hostility puzzled Fisher, stirring a sense of unease in him. He instructed Bryan to take a few men and investigate. Venturing beyond the compound was considered a deadly gamble, a toxic no-man's land. But Bryan, ever loyal, gathered a small group and headed out.

As they approached the perimeter, a convoy of trucks was nearing the fence. Bryan squinted, signaling his team to shoot the tires and report back to Fisher.

In a bold move, Bryan's undercover agents tried to unmask the frontliners in hazmat suits, revealing dark-skinned individuals beneath.

Not Fisher's son.

Could these really be government officials?

A hundred well-trained personnel stood before them.

Bryan, wearing just a face mask, watched the thirty-odd trucks without flinching. He aimed at a tire, fired, and the truck came to a halt. Coincidentally, it was the one King was in.

King glanced at the distant figure. It was too far to see clearly, but something felt familiar.

"Sir, this truck's done for. Let's switch vehicles," someone suggested amidst the chaos, as villagers now eyed the

hazmat-suited strangers with suspicion. en FindNovel

A standoff ensued, all vehicles coming to a halt.

Those stripped of their suits began to panic, seeing someone vomit, terrified by the thought of a deadly disease with a 100% fatality rate.

To the villagers, these strangers were like mice in a snake pit-dangerous just by being there.

King stepped out, carrying medical supplies. He approached a villager and spoke soothingly in Arabic.

"Don't worry. The government plans

to build a hospital, improve the water system, and pave roads to the city. This land hasn't been abandoned-we're here to help.

His voice was calming. The leader's wife, her eyes on the feminine products, quietly wept.

The women stopped resisting, and after a moment of hesitation, the men returned to unloading the supplies.

Joseph wanted to join King but was stopped by a warning from King through their intercom.

"Stay put. We're being watched, and they're armed," King cautioned.

Outnumbered and compromised, they were at a disadvantage.

King, while helping with the supplies, kept a close eye on the masked man, feeling an odd sense of recognition.

He reached out through their shared memories to Max.

"Does that guy look familiar to you?"

Max was silent for a while before suggesting they call for

reinforcements from North America, proposing to bring in Jaired and Irene for backup in this unfolding situation.
