Winn and Uziel sat in the front, driving. All the women followed Paige and got into the back of the big truck.

Even though they were scared about what Paige was going to do next, they were more afraid of staying behind and getting caught again by the PN Soldiers.

"Eat up. You need to be full so you can fight the PN Soldiers properly later.

If you're too scared to go, I'll find a room for you.

Just hide inside and don't come out. Tomorrow, you'll be able to go home," Paige said as she pointed to the food in the truck.

The women swallowed hard and looked at Paige. "Really… you're really giving this to us?"

"Eat, there's more than enough," Paige said boldly.

It was just a few compressed biscuits—she had plenty in her storage anyway.

Paige even helped them open several cans of meat, so they could eat them together.

As for the canned fruit, Paige said she liked it too much and wanted to keep it for herself.

The women sat together, eating greedily.

If they choked, they quickly drank a bowl of water to help swallow.

They never expected that in the darkest time of their lives, they would experience a moment like this.

Before, they never imagined they would have a chance to eat such high-quality canned meat.

Some of the girls ate while silently crying.

This whole period felt like a dream, and they didn't know how to live from now on.

"Have you decided? If you don't want to follow me, you need to get off the truck now," Paige looked around and felt the area was still safe.

There were many empty houses here, so they could just pick one and hide inside.

It was only for one night.

"If we follow you to fight the PN Soldiers, will we get to eat meat again in the future?" a small girl who had been hiding in the corner asked softly.

"Having meat every meal might not happen, but you'll never go hungry," Paige said.

"And you're not just following me. I'll send you to the military camp for training.

With your current physical strength, if you want to fight PN Soldiers, you'll need proper training first."

"Can girls like us become soldiers too?" a little girl asked curiously.

"Why not? But if you don't have the courage to go to the front lines and fight PN Soldiers, then no, you can't. The army won't feed you for free," Paige said.

"I… I want to go fight PN Soldiers with you," the girl said. She looked so weak she could fall over any time, but she firmly raised her little hand.

Her parents always preferred boys. They abandoned her, which is how she got caught by PN Soldiers.

She had never thought about becoming a soldier before. It was something considered honorable. But now, this older sister said not only could she be a soldier, but she'd also get enough to eat.

With such a good offer, she was the first to sign up. Otherwise, she had nowhere else to go.

"Alright. Then come with me," Paige agreed.

Since the youngest girl had already stepped forward, the others who were still hesitant followed along too.

The women who had just helped kill PN Soldiers felt blood rushing through them. Now, they could take revenge with their own hands.

A few who hadn't made a move earlier were trembling, but in such a passionate atmosphere, they didn't dare say anything anymore.

All they could do was eat as much as they could, thinking that if they died later, at least they wouldn't die hungry.

Paige had no idea how dramatic their thoughts were.

Since the last time she raided the train, Paige had set her sights on the train station.

There was a lot of stuff, many different types of goods, and a lot of PN Soldiers.

If she managed to raid a train station, her space could hold another small mountain. If everything was sorted neatly, it could be several small hills.

"Come on, come closer, let me tell you something," Paige said to the group of women.

"Next, we'll attack from a distance. I'll show you how to shoot. You just need to aim the gun at the PN Soldiers and fire away. You don't need to hit every shot, so don't feel too stressed about it."

"As for learning properly, that'll come later."

"For now, just remember this: we need to suppress them with firepower and scare them so badly they're running for their lives."

The vehicle stopped in a corner, not far from the train station.

From there, they had to walk.

Paige handed each person a gun and a pack of bullets.

She had already shown them how to load and shoot. From here on out, they were on their own.

Paige could clearly see that some of them were shaking as they walked, but they still kept going. Not one of them said they wanted to quit.

Paige pretended not to notice. These people were really just here to make up the numbers.

Strictly speaking, their presence might even slow things down.

"Later, you take another route and attack from there. I'll handle these ones," Paige said quietly to Winn and Uziel.

"You two cut their phone lines first, take out the PN Soldiers at the communication post. As long as they can't send out information, we're good."

Once gunfire breaks out, support will definitely come from other places. But without clear information, they'll have to guess what's going on.

Paige planned to wipe out all the PN Soldiers at the train station, then stay there and wait.

Every group that came would be wiped out until none dared show up again. Then they would slowly push forward.

A rough strategy was set, and she left it to Winn and Uziel to fine-tune it.

"You guys, just sit, lie down, or crawl — whatever's comfortable. Just shoot when you see the PN Soldiers," Paige told the women.

Because she brought so many people, Paige couldn't use her knives. She had to bring out a machine gun instead.

That thing was the most fun to use for sweeping fire.

The moonlight poured over the train station plaza, and as another battle approached, fear made some hide away.

The women, dressed in brightly colored padded jackets, showed both determination and fear in their eyes.

Their faces were filled with confusion and fear, but the courage inside them was strong and clear.

Suddenly, there was some noise among the group, and the enemy began to appear.

The women quickly took their positions, all their eyes turning to Paige, as if she was their pillar of strength.

Someone shouted, "Sisters, don't be scared! We can do this!"

The voice was clear and strong, instantly lighting up everyone's spirit.

They were like fierce lions, picking up their guns and firing at the PN Soldiers without hesitation.

The train station echoed with gunfire. The women lay on the ground, afraid to raise their heads, swinging their guns and firing blindly toward the front.

Even with sweat and tears running down their faces and their breathing heavy, not one of them backed down.

In the middle of the fierce fighting, one woman got injured, but she just bit her lip and stayed still, afraid to cry out or move, not wanting to affect others.

Her toughness inspired everyone around her, making them fight even harder.

Even if their bullets didn't hit much, what did it matter?

Paige would cover for them.

The PN Soldiers were forced to retreat under the fierce fire.

The women's victorious cheers echoed across the train station. With their courage and determination, they wrote a glorious war song.

At that moment, they were no longer weak women. They were real warriors, defending justice and dignity with their blood and strength.

The moon quietly peeked out, as if it was also happy for their victory.

"Alright, don't celebrate too early. The PN Soldiers haven't been completely wiped out yet.

Everyone, pick up your guns, reload, and follow me inside to finish them off."

Since the PN Soldiers were planning to transport things from the city back to their country, the train station wasn't open to the public at all.

Maybe they didn't trust the Chinese, so all the guards at the station were PN Soldiers.

That made it easier for Paige and her team. Shoot at will, since everyone else there was the enemy.

The PN Soldiers' machine gunner had already been taken out by Paige. A higher-ranking officer had been sniped by Winn.

The telephone lines had already been cut. To prevent any hidden lines, the path to the communications room was blocked by Winn and Uziel.

Anyone who got close, died.

"What do we do? The enemy is about to break in. Did our people manage to send out a message?

When will reinforcements arrive?" one PN Soldier asked another in a panic.

"This place is making such a big commotion. Whether or not the message went through, reinforcements will come.

We just need to buy time. Once they arrive, we'll attack from inside and outside together and quickly wipe out the enemy," the other PN Soldier said firmly.

But his shaking legs made it less convincing.

"They're here, she's here! They've come in!" a PN Soldier shouted in panic.

But there was nowhere left to run.

They had no choice but to charge forward, hoping the reinforcements would arrive soon, very soon.

The PN Soldiers charged out with their guns, but the moment they reached the door, they threw down their weapons and knelt with their hands on their heads.

"We surrender! We surrender!"

The women saw the PN Soldiers rush out and immediately opened fire without a word.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

"Ahhhh... ahhhhhh..." The PN Soldiers screamed in fear.

When the gunfire stopped, they checked their bodies. It seemed like they were unharmed.

Paige could only rub her forehead. From such a close distance, with so many people shooting, the PN Soldiers actually came out unscathed? That was impressive.

Well, not entirely unscathed. The psychological shock clearly worked. A few PN Soldiers had even wet themselves in fear.

"They... they knelt down? Are they surrendering?" one woman asked Paige.

"How should I know? Why don't you go ask them?" Paige responded.

"I... I don't dare. You... you ask them," the woman nudged the one beside her.

"I... I don't dare either." After a round of hesitation, one brave woman finally spoke up:

"You... you, what are you trying to do? Are you surrendering?"

PN Soldier: "Jilirigua! Wawaka! Guaguagua!!"

"We... we don't understand a word," the woman awkwardly looked at the others.

"Rat-tat-tat... rat-tat-tat..." A burst of machine gun fire followed, and all the kneeling PN Soldiers fell to the ground.

The women were startled. "What... what just happened? They... they were surrendering, weren't they?"

"So what if they were?" Paige said calmly. "The PN Soldiers are full of tricks. Who knows if this was a trap?

I told you to stop and listen to them to teach you a lesson.

You see, just now, didn't you waste a lot of time trying to talk? Didn't you all put your guns down?

If those guys had weapons, you'd all be dead now. Even if not all of you, many would've been seriously hurt."
