Chapter 152: Sing a Little Something

"Even if it makes me a sinner through the ages, I am going to get every single person from Great Xia back today! Even if the Freedom Federation holds me accountable and the Supreme Leader punishes me, none of you can stop Great Xia from evacuating its citizens!"

Murderous intent surged through the air!

Faced with Bai Zhan, who looked like a man possessed, the citizens of the Freedom Federation actually stepped backward, one step at a time!

He would actually dare to open fire!

"We can pay for the plane tickets!" A white man suddenly pulled out a large stack of freedom dollars. "Just take me with you, and I'll pay for the ticket! A generous ticket price!"

"Hah, ticket price?" Bai Zhan sneered. "Do you have any idea how much it costs Great Xia to dispatch a single aircraft this time? Do you know that Great Xia is currently at war with gods?"

"While we are fighting gods, we still send planes to save people, and you think we're doing it for your paltry ticket money?"

"If it really came down to your little bit of ticket money, could you even afford it? If you really had that kind of money, why didn't your own Freedom Federation government come to rescue you?" Bai Zhan said coldly.

The white man, still somewhat unconvinced, pointed at the Great Xia citizens queuing up to board the plane and shouted loudly, "Then... then they didn't pay for their tickets either!"

"The Great Xia citizenship of my fellow countrymen is their ticket home!" Bai Zhan said in a deep voice. "That is their life and their faith—can you afford that? Do you have it?"

"As long as you are a citizen of Great Xia, no matter the cost, Great Xia will bring you home. But you are not!"

At that moment, the entire area fell silent.

Suddenly, someone began to plead with a crying voice, "Please, let us in!"

"We really don't want to die!"

"If we stay here, we're only going to die! Only die!"

The rioters instantly turned into refugees.

Crying and shouting spread through the crowd like a tide. Those who had previously acted ferocious and frantically rushed the boarding stairs were now weeping and begging.

Who actually wanted to die?

To be honest, what wrong did these Freedom Federation citizens commit?

They were simply trying to survive!

Seeing this, the fearless Bai Zhan felt as though his heart was being torn apart, but he still gritted his teeth and sighed, "I'm sorry!"

"My priority is to ensure the safe evacuation of our Great Xia citizens."

"Besides... you are citizens of the Freedom Federation. According to the laws established by your high-ranking officials, Great Xia has no right to remove you from the territory of the Freedom Federation... and the cabin capacity is limited..."

"I'm sorry..." Bai Zhan sighed.

Suddenly, a white man holding a child dropped to his knees. "Take my child, I'm begging you!"

One by one, the citizens of the Freedom Federation fell to their knees.

On the other side, the Great Xia citizens standing in an orderly queue could not help but redden their eyes at the sight.

Bai Zhan looked at the Freedom Federation citizens kneeling on the ground and sighed.

The people of Great Xia were, after all, still merciful.

"Forget it. Even if I get reprimanded by your higher-ups later... Soldiers, come over here, take these infants up. The rest of you line up, women first, the elderly and the weak first... Once all Great Xia citizens have boarded, you can board as many as you can fit. Saving even one more life is worth it, and we can always send you back to the Freedom Federation later."

"Why the elderly and the weak first?!" a white man suddenly shouted loudly.

Bai Zhan looked at him expressionlessly. "This is the rule of Great Xia! If you don't like it, get lost!"

Just at that moment,

the middle-aged Great Xia man who had previously run all the way with his wife pushed through the crowd, panting heavily, and walked up to Bai Zhan, pulling out his identity card and passport. "I am a Great Xia citizen, General Bai Zhan..."

"Then what are you dawdling here for?" Bai Zhan glanced at the documents speechlessly and waved his hand impatiently. "Go get in line quickly!"

"But..." the Great Xia man hesitated. "My wife is not a citizen of Great Xia... If she can't board, it's actually fine; I can stay behind with her... My child holds Great Xia citizenship, so I only ask that General Bai take them back and take good care of them..."

"Just tell them... that Daddy went to join their Mommy..."

He turned to look at his wife and two children standing behind him, his eyes filled with infinite love and resolution.

The white-skinned wife, upon hearing those words, burst into tears and trembled, "You, you don't have to do this... You can survive..."

It looked as though a heartbreaking farewell of life and death was about to unfold.

However, Bai Zhan directly interrupted, "What kind of nonsense are you acting out? Your wife married a Great Xia man, which makes her a Great Xia wife. Stop messing around, hurry up and get on board with your wife and kids. Do you think you're shooting a movie here?"

"C-can we really go up?!" The Great Xia man's voice trembled.

Bai Zhan looked at him in confusion. "You can stay behind if you really want to..."

"No, no, no!" Overjoyed beyond measure, the Great Xia man uncontrollably hugged Bai Zhan, then turned around, waved his arms, and shouted, "Honey, hurry up and bring the kids over! We can board the plane!"

The wife, wearing a look of disbelieving joy, quickly ran from the crowd to her husband's side and bowed gratefully to Bai Zhan.

"We will never forget the help of Great Xia!"

"Once we reach Great Xia, I'm changing my citizenship!"

"I've finally seen through the Freedom Federation this time. Just like my husband, I'm willing to be a citizen of Great Xia!"

Bai Zhan wore a look of utter helplessness and urged impatiently, "Are you shooting a movie here too? Get on board already! Stop dawdling!"

The white wife and the Great Xia man hugged their two children and quickly ran to line up for boarding.

As they ran, the white wife tightly grabbed her husband's hand and softly said, "Darling, thank you."

She felt incredibly fortunate to have a Great Xia husband!

And this Great Xia husband had been thinking of her all the way. Along the road, she had witnessed plenty of white men abandoning their wives to save their own skins.

"What are you thanking me for?" The Great Xia man blurted out instinctively. "You should be thanking Great Xia."

The red color on that aircraft was brilliantly vivid.

Seeing this, the Freedom Federation citizens who had been blocked by Bai Zhan cast looks of envy and jealousy.

"If only I were a citizen of Great Xia... I could board right now..."

A few quick-witted women even shouted loudly, "Are there any single Great Xia men here? I want to marry you! Let's get married right on the spot!"

Just at that moment,

a man with an Asian face in the crowd flashed a shrewd look in his eyes, took a deep breath, walked up to Bai Zhan, and feigned composure as he said, "General, actually, I am also a citizen of Great Xia, *samida*."

His spoken Mandarin was actually quite fluent.

Bai Zhan paused for a moment, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and frowned. "Identity card."

"Lost," the middle-aged man replied rightously.

Bai Zhan said indifferently, "A passport works too."

The middle-aged man calmly replied, "It was too chaotic just now, I lost that too. I really am a citizen of Great Xia, please just let me go up first."

His plan was well thought out; as long as he insisted they were both lost, how could this Great Xia general prove whether he was a citizen or not?

"Losing them is fine." Bai Zhan nodded. "Sing the national anthem."

"Little swallow, flying in clothes of flowers..."

"Smack!" Bai Zhan sent the middle-aged man flying with a single slap. "Get lost!"
