"Dinner's ready."
At eight o'clock in the evening, Morins brought over two dinners and, after sitting down beside Song Heping, gave one to him.
"I didn't ask for this."
Song Heping was somewhat irritated at the moment.
The day had passed, and it was now nighttime, but he still hadn't received what he wanted from Fer.
The pressure was not only from Fer's side not getting things done, but also from the whole conflict, which was moving in a direction increasingly disadvantageous to the ELN armed group as time went on.
To the north, the AUC armed force, numbering over ten thousand, had broken through two defense lines.
To the south, the situation was even worse.
The defense lines at San Jose and San Rita had been breached, and the southern defensive zone was almost split in two.
Once breached, the AUC armed forces could complete the encirclement of the southern ELN troops.
