"No, no."
In a flash of red light, Crow saw the chaos in the repair shop. Everything seemed to explode in slow motion. He saw many people falling down screaming and corpses stacked on top of each other. This was not an attack, this was a massacre.
Then the man slammed his knee into his stomach again, again and again, breaking all his ribs, and beat him until he could no longer spit out a mouthful of blood.
In pain and fear, he kept struggling, stretched out his left hand to grab the attacker's face, but pulled off a blindfold.
“My dad is.”
"Have you been on the battlefield?"
A low roar rang in his ears, and the crow was thrown to the ground. He could only moan weakly, and the surrounding sounds disappeared.
Only the whispers of the devil remain.
“What.”
“Do you know what it feels like to die? The bullet passes through the body, and you won’t feel pain because of the adrenaline, but after the fight, the blood in the body has been drained. If you hit the head, your body will instantly collapse. When the artillery shells explode around you, your ears will ring and your body will be blown away by the shock wave. You will vomit blood because your internal organs are ruptured, and the fragments will tear your skin. The sound of fighter planes flying through the sky is shrill and harsh. The bombs they drop will shatter your internal organs even if they are far away from you. If they stay close to you, they will turn you into a puddle of flesh. The large-caliber machine guns will make you feel like a balloon. When a needle pricks you, the poisonous gas will turn your lungs into empty shells, your skin will erode, your eyes will become blind, you will gradually become breathless, and you will gradually lose sight of anything. When a bayonet pricks your stomach, your intestines will flow out, and you will feel light and light, and these The things that make people tremble when they hear them are what we experienced at that time. What they experienced is what we and they have to face even if they are scared to death, because behind them is their hometown and the eyes of their parents who are waiting for them. , so do you know what death feels like?”
In the blurred vision, the crow saw an eye, a burning eye, embedded in a face with obvious scars, and a vicious smile.
Then, the opponent smashed the handle of the gun into his face, blood splashed in the air, and the sound of broken bones was heard.
"So, do you know?"
The crow never made a sound again, not even the sound of breathing.
When the second Standard Terra Day came, a terrible news quickly spread in this scavenger town. All members of the Will-o'-the-Wisp Gang, including the leader, a total of 45 people, were killed. They were brutally killed, and their heads were strung on metal poles and stood in front of two graves. The sheriff who had protected his son for a long time was found hanging with his hands tied behind his back in front of an empty hut.
This case is big or small. After all, in the bottom nest, this kind of thing is not unusual at all. In addition, a large number of soldiers returned home and created a lot of cases. The Ministry of Justice only responded briefly to this. After an investigation determined it to be a vendetta, a new Sheriff was appointed and the new Sheriff was asked to investigate on his own.
As for Hayes and others, they had already returned to the Middle Nest. The impact of this journey on him was no less than the first time he went to the battlefield. However, just two days after returning, he received a message that a certain The big shot funded the construction of a soldiers cemetery in Zhongchao half a year ago, and buried as many soldiers' corpses recovered from the battlefield as possible here. The project has been completed recently, and all veterans were notified to attend the memorial ceremony.
Hayes immediately set off to the location of the cemetery. In the car, he heard the name of the "big man" - Arni Morales, who was also the new Governor of Badab. After the ceremony here, he will take office.
The car heading to the Soldiers Cemetery was full of people wearing military green uniforms. Some had medals on their chests, and some held a flower in their hands. Hayes’s hand There is also one in the room, but he does not have a medal. Galina and Andina are sitting next to him. Many people are disabled, but not many have the ability to replace prosthetic limbs. Most people simply install immovable prosthetic limbs. Most of them are alone.
When the train stopped and stepped out of the cabin, Hayes saw a magnificent cemetery. A huge monument stood at the entrance, consisting of 37 pillars, each more than 10 meters high, arranged in an open matrix in red. On the sandstone and dark gray ground, they serve as both an entrance and a symbol of the 37 regiments recruited from this hive. The array of columns serves as the backdrop for the memorial square, facing the terraces, raised tombs and towering towers at the rear of the square. The bell tower echoes from a distance.
There are already crowds of people around, and law enforcement officers are maintaining order. You can see eagle emblems and symbols woven with flowers everywhere. For this day, even part of the dome above the area has been opened to let the sunlight shine in. on this sacred land.
Walking inside, Hayes saw groups of priests carrying incense burners and chanting scriptures, and nuns distributing drinking water and food to everyone in need, even though it was just simple bread. .
I have to say that the design of this place is indeed exquisite. The entire mausoleum area looks like an undulating mountain, but at the same time, granite and glass define simple linear boundaries. Different hills adopt a staggered up and down pattern. Arrange black marble tombstones and surround a star-shaped fountain with flames in the center.
There are a large number of green vegetation and trees between the tombstones, creating a forest with a contemplative atmosphere. Low fountains and extended stairs maximize the view and accessibility of the site.
After walking for a long time, Hayes found the location of his regiment, but it was already surrounded by people because there were important people inside.
From a distance, Hayes could also see his regimental commander. Dressed in a general's uniform and surrounded by a crowd, he stood in front of a statue of a soldier holding a rifle in a charging posture, and then A bouquet of flowers was put down, and several cameramen around him immediately captured the scene. Countless noble men and women, bureaucrats and priests dressed in fine clothes all around praised Arni's bravery and good deeds. Their flattering smiles and white lips The teeth almost made the sun shine brighter.
“That battle was terrible.”
Looking at the tombstones, Arni’s voice suddenly choked with sobs. His newlywed wife held his arm beside him.
“My regiment and my soldiers were all destroyed like this! Even if I only see one person now, it’s okay!”
Hayes stood in the distance, watching quietly. He didn't know what the other person was saying, but he didn't want to say anything.
Just watching quietly.
Watching
It wasn’t until Arnie left and the guards withdrew the cordon that he and his two wives walked onto the deserted hill - after the big shot left, no one cared anymore Here, only some family members came here one after another, but they didn't pay attention to other people.
