Chapter 34 Hell on Earth
Suddenly, there were two gunshots, followed by more gunshots all around.
The flames emitted by these rifles were only three to four hundred meters away from the few people. Bull quickly gestured for everyone to find a concealed position to hide, and Liu Xu also took advantage of the situation and squatted down behind the pillar.
Basha reminded: "Sir, there is a large group of people rushing this way. They should be government troops. I suggest you avoid them immediately."
At the same time, Zheng Hu also discovered this situation from the over-controlled drone. After a few quick discussions, he decided to trot along the deserted place shown by the drone.
The group spent several hours hiding in hiding places before walking less than three or four kilometers. If they wanted to get out of the city, there was still another four kilometers waiting in front of them, and everyone had to pass through the city before dawn.
The sky was gradually shrouded in white smoke, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the surroundings and refused to dissipate for a long time, as if the city was crying about its tragic experience.
After a night of traveling, Liu Xu also learned that mercenaries are not so easy to become. They can pass through a battlefield of several kilometers in a complex environment with only a drone without being discovered. This is
The professionalism required is very high.
The sun slowly rose. After a night of running around, the group of people finally walked out of the war-torn city. They found a secluded dilapidated building and rested for about an hour before continuing towards the town of Tamako.
Arshad is said to be only thirty-five years old, but the years have left traces on his face. His face, which looks over forty years old, gives people the impression of being ravaged by time.
He has three children, a teenage daughter, a seven or eight-year-old daughter, and a younger son who is held in the arms of his wife.
The guide communicated with him for a while, saying that he would be taken away first and that he would come back to pick up his family later when there was an opportunity. He also told him about the dangers along the way and so on.
Asad is not stupid. Once he leaves his family, he will definitely have no security, so everyone is in a stalemate, but he must take his wife and children away. Otherwise, he will not leave them for a step.
Taking so many children through a city at war was no different than seeking death. Bull firmly disagreed with such unreasonable and willful demands.
For a while, everyone was in a stalemate, with no one willing to give in.
Liu Xu looked at the thin and haggard faces of their family, and looked at Bull with hope in his eyes. However, Bull's indifferent attitude disappointed them. Liu Xu couldn't bear it, especially when he saw the desire for freedom and safety in the children's eyes.
, which gave him some pity.
So Liu Xu proposed to add money.
But Bull refused directly this time: "This is not a matter of money. I can't gamble with the lives of my team members."
It seems impossible to go through, and it is unrealistic to take a detour. The entire country of Syria is full of battlefields, and the road we came here was worked out after repeated research by everyone. Naturally, we cannot take the risk of taking a detour easily.
In the end, Liu Xu could only propose that he and Asad's wife and children should follow Bull. If any problems arise, they only need to bring Asad back safely.
Bourdain: "Half a million pounds."
This time, taking advantage of the situation, Liu Xu agreed: "Deal."
Ashad knew that this was the only way. If he didn't do this, it would be difficult to find a chance to escape in the future. He loved his children and wife, and he was willing to take risks as long as there was hope of living.
In the afternoon, the group had something to eat before setting off quietly. With women and children following them, their speed was much slower than when they came.
They rested for a while at the edge of the city, and under the cover of night, everyone once again sneaked into the dilapidated city. The sound of gunfire from time to time made everyone become more cautious.
One hour, two hours, three hours later, just when everyone thought they could successfully pass through the most dangerous battle zone tonight, a close-range explosion scared Asad's son awake.
The child's cry was so loud that no one had time to respond, and several bullets were fired at the sound in an instant.
Buell was furious and raised his gun to fight back without thinking. At the same time, he did not slow down his pace at all. Although he was only ten meters away, he had no intention of caring about Liu Xu anymore.
Basha said at this time: "Sir, many SIS people are surrounding you. If you still take them with you, your chance of escaping is only 1%; if you are alone, your chance of escaping is only 5%."
According to Emperor Tu's laws, it is allowed to kill or injure attackers when the heir's life is in danger. However, our laws have no obligation to help those around you. Please choose whether to leave alone to receive rewards or take them away to cancel the mission.
.
Liu Xu was stunned when he heard this. There was such an operation. This meant that he was making a trip in vain. What was it for?
Seeing the frightened people on their faces, Liu Xu felt unbearable and said to Basha: Cancel the mission.
Starship One has been activated, and Starfleet unmanned attack aircraft No. 1 to No. 10 are on standby, and No. 5 has been authorized to shoot down all threatening targets."
Liu Xu was stunned when he saw Starship One suddenly appearing in the sky.
It was a very sci-fi mini airship, floating in the air like a ghost. It was about four to five meters in length, and less than one meter in width and height. There were also ten thumb-sized aircraft scattered in the air.
However, Liu Xu found that no one noticed the small airship that suddenly appeared.
Dozens of bullets seemed to be blocked by something, as if there was an invisible wall within five meters. The bullets fell silently to the ground, and the danger around them was eliminated in an instant.
This made Liu Xu unclear about what Basha was doing. Did Basha want to come to Syria on his own? Or was he just experiencing the war to gain knowledge?
Bull ran very fast, and the wails of several injured SIS prevented his pursuers from speeding up.
The danger was temporarily lifted, and Liu Xu hurriedly took one, one, and three children to avoid and move forward.
The route was planned by Ba Sha. Starship One was following them in the sky and was escorted by Star Frontier unmanned attack aircraft. Even if they didn't have to worry about safety, they walked around in a circle before getting rid of the pursuers behind them.
.
On the way, Liu Xu took the time to fire a few shots. The recoil that hit his shoulder made Liu Xu, who had never touched a gun, like this feeling.
He had also dreamed of becoming a soldier before, but he did not pursue it due to various reasons.
Ashad's wife is very brave. She hugged her son and closely protected her two daughters along the way. Although she was out of breath, her face was full of determination.
This may be something all mothers have in common, they can be fearless for the sake of their children.
On the other side, as soon as Bull got rid of his pursuers, Asad started making a fuss: "Let me go, I want to go back to find my wife and children."
"No, my mission is to take you back to London! There were so many SIS people just now, and you will die if you go back. Why not live well? You have to know that when you go to the European Federation, you can live like heaven.
Days," Bull advised.
Asad was not willing to agree, but kept trying to break free from his bound hands.
Zheng Hu had no choice but to knock Ashad unconscious with a knife.
Liu Xu kept walking around here, but there was no better way.
Although they didn't say it out loud, the dull and rapid breathing still made Liu Xu constantly choose to stop.
It was two kilometers in a straight line, but after going around some places, they actually ran more than four kilometers.
Two hours later, we finally arrived at the agreed meeting point.
Seeing Liu Xu showing up with several people intact, Buell and everyone else couldn't believe it.
Bull led his men to break out, but at the cost of the death of a guide and the injury of a team member.
Asad found that his wife and children had arrived safely, and struggled to get up.
Earlier, he was tied up and thrown to the ground.
Looking at the family hugging each other, Liu Xu had mixed feelings in his heart. Fortunately, he was out of danger for the time being, and the road ahead would be easier.
Everyone didn't rest long and started to pack up their things and set off. Next was another evacuation journey. Bull made a gesture of observation before softly saying: "Yuluka, everyone, pay attention to the surrounding situation!"
We were very unlucky. The convoy had only traveled a few dozen kilometers when we found a checkpoint on both sides of the canyon. Looking at the flags, it was SIS people. Two armored vehicles and a dozen pickup trucks were blocking the middle of the mountain road. Many refugees were already blocked by them on the road.
After discussing with Guide Arubi for a while, Bull decided to send someone to negotiate first.
Several guides were disarmed as soon as they got out of the car. A group of people gathered around and drove everyone out of the car.
A few meters away, more than a dozen unrecognizable corpses were lying on the ground.
Liu Xu had never seen such a formation before, and his stomach churned and he vomited.
The crowd was driven forward like a zombie, beaten and scolded, and before Liu Xu could recover, he suddenly received a gun butt on his head.
His face felt hot, and a stream of blood flowed from the wound.
Seeing the AK pointed at his head, even if the other party was cursing and feeling the coldness on his head, Liu Xu dared not say anything in anger now.
Basha said: "Sir, do you need to fight back?"
Liu Xu was speechless. There were five to six hundred people here! Do you want to knock them all out? Liu Xu didn't dare to let the starship fight back. He could only blame the Whitewater mercenaries for being useless, and he didn't know how many more drone batteries to prepare.
There was no power at the critical moment.
After seeing that their guns were taken away and each of them received a lot of beatings, Liu Xu felt relieved.
Soon, Bull and the others were let go, leaving Liu Xu tied up and thrown into a pickup truck.
Why was he the only one left? Such a situation suddenly appeared, leaving Liu Xu confused.
Almost forty or fifty strong men, like Liu Xu, had their hands and feet tied up and were thrown into different pickup trucks. The sun's rays made people feel dizzy. As they watched the sun getting lower and lower from the ground, suddenly
There was a commotion in the crowd ahead, and the sound of strafing from heavy aircraft was accompanied by the screams of the crowd.
Especially when he saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, using her thin body to tightly protect a five or six-year-old boy in her arms, her tenacious and fearless eyes shocked Liu Xu.
This scene made Liu Xu's eyes suddenly turn scarlet.
This is massacre!
Liu Xu shouted angrily: "Basha, save people, kill these beasts!"
If he doesn't save so many people who are being killed, then what's the difference between him and a beast? This will also become a shadow in his heart that will never be erased for the rest of his life!
The gunfire that had been shouting just now suddenly stopped, and all the SIS figures fell to the ground as if they were cursed.
There was a moment of silence in the crowd. The people who had survived the disaster looked at all this with their mouths open, and they even couldn't believe it.
Many people were chanting Allah, Lord of the Lamp, and kneeling on the ground to pray with innocent faces.
Liu Xu saw that there were women and children among those who fell on the ground. He was dazed for a while, and tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously.
They were all still alive just now! Half of them have been lying on the ground forever...
Chapter completed!
