If lucky, not encountering bandits on the main road, one could make contact with friendly forces and enter the city smoothly.
If unlucky, a gunfight was inevitable.
Tang Zelin hesitated a bit because of Su Shu's presence.
Su Shu noticed and took the initiative, "Let's take the main road. The sooner we get into the city, the safer we'll be. The longer we stay outside, the more dangerous it becomes."
First squad leader Zhang Dongke and second squad leader Wang Meng both looked at group captain Tang Zelin.
To take the main road or the back road wasn't their concern. Wherever the group captain decided to go, they would follow.
They knew the group captain's concern. With sister-in-law Su Shu in the team, taking the main road and engaging in a firefight was extremely dangerous.
Seeing that Tang Zelin was still hesitating, Su Shu lowered her head to think for a moment, then raised it to ask, "Are you worried that if we accidentally get into a firefight, I won't be able to cope?"
