Xin Chen's stool had been moved onto this line, where he sat in silence, waiting.
For him, going without food or drink for three to five months was no big deal, as long as he had a cellphone and a jar of clean water. He could live in a cave for several years, so sitting in the icy, snowy wilderness was nothing to him...
Except a dead cellphone battery was simply an unbearable nightmare!
So even as he sat there, he still insisted on having a power bank delivered to him every few hours; that was one thing that wouldn't change.
While he was fiddling with his phone, over forty vehicles had stopped outside the line opposite him, their fully armed personnel pointing the dark muzzles of their guns squarely at him.
"I'm warning you," Xin Chen said, looking up. "You can shoot, but if you cross this line or damage my phone, you're finished."
