Chapter 913 Chapter 913
The mountain was gloomy, but it couldn't overshadow Li Muye's face. The night wind on the plateau is cold, but it can't chill Brother Ono's state of mind at the moment.
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and in the race for survival, life and death are impermanent. However, in heaven and earth, from birth to death, people have to go through countless karmic encounters, and it is impossible to be too ruthless. Heaven and earth are ruthless, people are affectionate, and they can't lose the word grace and righteousness in the rivers and lakes.
Running up the mountain with a furious night, he tracked all the way to the North American mine. A huge open-pit mine was in front of me, surrounded by a man-made road, and factories and residential areas were built on the gentle slope of the southern slope of the mine. The moment I saw the pit, I was greeted by a strong aura of Gengjin's sharp energy.
For a moment, Li Muye's heart was full of mixed feelings. In addition to anger, there is some calm and sadness. The calmness was due to the comfort that this familiar breath brought him. Sadness is for the people who live in this land.
The puff is not guilty of his crimes. Their suffering is not because of evil or the test of what they call Allah, but simply because their homeland has the enviable resources of the surface world. If there is a second reason, it is that they are not strong enough.
The British Empire, which claims to never set the sun, invaded three times from the 19th century to the early 20th century, paying nearly 40,000 casualties and hundreds of millions of pounds in military spending, and finally took the initiative to sign a peace treaty with the Afghan authorities. Then came the Red Empire, the Soviet Union, which fought World War II all the way to Berlin and invaded Afghanistan in December 1979. As a result, nearly 50,000 people were killed and wounded in the 10-year war, costing more than $20 billion. The battlefield in Afghanistan became a bleeding wound for the Soviet Union. In 1988, the Soviet Union was forced to withdraw its troops, and the country collapsed shortly after.
Finally, there is the United States, the global hegemon since the end of the Cold War, with the world's largest military power. In October 2001, China sent troops to Afghanistan under the pretext of "counter-terrorism", causing nearly 30,000 casualties and costing at least $700 billion. These two numbers are still growing, given the presence of a significant number of North American GIs in the country.
In this land of suffering and stubbornness, war and bloodshed have gone on for far too long. Li Muye felt sad, not only because he was sad about the death of the benefactor who had helped him, but also because he thought of the century-old humiliation that the Republic had experienced.
Although Schroeder is a big devil, he is right about some of his words. In this world, which seems to emphasize civilization and fraternity, it is still the law of the jungle in its bones. Those who lag behind mean that they are not qualified to control their own destiny, and both land and resources belong to the strong.
The air above the mine condensed the aura that made Li Muye's body and mind comfortable, and the huge pit extended downward in a spiral manner. Li Muye suddenly had an urge to jump in, this feeling was so strong that it was almost irrepressible, he finally couldn't hold it back, and jumped down.
In this rich metallic magnetic aura, he didn't even need to use external force to control the descent speed. The further down you go, the stronger the metallic smell becomes. It wasn't until the bottom of the pit that I realized that there was a huge temple cast in bronze underneath. The top of this temple has been almost completely excavated, and the first thing you can see when you look at it from above is that this place is extraordinary and brilliant. After landing on the ground, stand in the hall and look around carefully, only to see the huge pillar of jade steps, the eaves of the painted building, and the relief carvings all over, which is magnificent. The metallic bronze walls are carved with lifelike statues of gods and animals.
The temple has two main halls, which are divided into east and west compartments. A set of reliefs on the herringbone wall on the east side is engraved with some motifs of giants fighting ordinary humans. Li Muye was taken aback, completely immersed in the magnificent and amazing scene in front of him. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps accompanied by human voices came into my ears. Brother Ono's heart moved, and he hurriedly leaned over the wall, and quickly climbed to the top with the skill of a gecko swimming in the wall.
"Mr. Parker, please be patient, and please explain to the great Sir Barton on my behalf, it's not that we haven't worked hard enough, in fact the lads have done everything they can, but the excavation is very difficult, the coffin of the Nameless King Saltel Mags is in the depths of the West Temple, where the radiation level exceeds the normal acceptable level by 100,000 times, we are unearthing the secrets of the Kushan Dynasty, not here to die. ”
A bald man stepped out of the shadows of the corridor, but beside him was a black colonel officer, explaining as he walked.
The bald man suddenly paused, turned to face the black colonel, and two cold lights shot out of his eyes, and said: "Colonel Barker, you have to make one thing clear, our lives do not belong to us, if you can make Sir Barton's great career even a small step forward, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is worth it." ”
He continued: "The rise and fall of the Kushan Empire is a mystery in history, the Indians believe that it is the will of the gods, Mr. Gulandamas has locked this place according to the ancient Hindu documents, we have reason to believe that this bronze temple is the tomb of a certain ancient man, this person has great ability, it is likely that he has knowledge and the ability to awaken the Force, he guided Yan Zhizhen to establish the Kushan Empire, and built this tomb for him here since the founding of the country. ”
Colonel Buck said, "Mr. Parker, I am fully willing to do what you say, but those soldiers cannot see Sir Patton as the only faith as you and me, and when they are confronted with that huge amount of radiation, no matter what I say to them, they will not be able to make them brave. ”
Parker frowned and cursed, "These lazy, filthy, and worthless stupid pigs, if they still don't want to, then use some means to get them to comply, and I'll provide you with some potions in a few days, don't they all like marijuana? My new gadget is much better than that." ”
Colonel Barker was taken aback: "Are you going to drug the soldiers?"
"Don't say it so badly, my old friend. Parker sneered, "It's just a little bit of facilitation, I can help them forget about life and death." ”
Colonel Barker said, "If the news leaks out, I'll be court-martialed." ”
"What? do you care?" Parker stared at Colonel Buck with grim eyes, and said, "You and I have already sworn to give our lives to the great Sir Patton, what is it to be court-martial compared to losing our lives? ”
Colonel Buck said: " My loyalty is unquestionable, you know that I am not a person who hesitates to do things, just today, I just ordered the Fifth Squadron to kill more than 300 civilians in a village upstream, if it is to defend the great cause of Sir Patton, I am willing to sacrifice my four daughters at any time, but even if I agree to your method, there is no way to make the flesh and blood of normal humans withstand the radiation of hundreds of thousands of millisieverts, they can only work in that environment for a maximum of one day, and their bodies will have various deadly mutations that make it impossible to continue working, you must know that I have less than 2,000 soldiers under my command......”
"Then hire some locals from further afield, just remember to leave nothing alive afterwards. Parker said cruelly, "In short, everything is for the great cause of Sir Barton, these heretics do not deserve sympathy, nor do they deserve to enjoy the resources of this world with you and me." ”
Li Muye had almost figured out what had happened when he heard this, this Colonel Buck was a fanatical believer who had been brainwashed by Patton, and in order to excavate this bronze tomb from the Kushan Empire, he brought his troops here to cooperate with the operation of the owner of a mining company named Parker. Some of the villagers in Rushtambu's village were hired by them, presumably killed by the radiation, and were slaughtered for fear of leaking out.
Now that they're going to have some problems with the progress of their excavations, this Parker is crazy enough to let the expensive North American GIs continue the digging work. And this Colonel Buck is the commander of the army, and those GIs are his wealth and capital, how can he be willing to risk their lives to fill that hole.
"I'm already trying my best to recruit. Colonel Buck said, "But the population of this ghost place is so small, and none of them are willing to serve the businesses of the United States, it will be difficult for us to recruit enough people in a short time." ”
"Then go to the surrounding countries to recruit, such as the Republic and India. Parker said, "Anyway, I'm going to see the palace where the coffin is laid open this time next month, and to hell with the high-radiation metal." ”
A cold light flashed, and Colonel Barker's head fell to the ground silently, and the corpse fell to the ground weakly.
As soon as Parker's words fell, he saw Colonel Barker's headless body lying in front of him, and how could he not be shocked when the head of a large living person fell to the ground in front of him without warning. He reacted instantly, his eyes widened in fright, his mouth opened wide, and his throat let out a strange scream, but he couldn't utter a complete word as if he had lost his voice.
"You have a chance to live. Li Muye's deep voice said in his ear.
Parker jerked back and punched his hand. The wind was howling and the sound was very strong. Li Muye hung upside down above his head and looked at him, waved his fist indiscriminately into the air, and said, "You just said that a big man from the ancient period is buried here, did Gulan Danmas talk about the name of this big man?" Parker below suddenly paused, then quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist, raised his hand to shoot Brother Xiao Ye above his head, and shouted: "Damn, to hell!"
"Why don't you understand?" Li Muye sighed softly, the bullet hovered in front of his eyes, Brother Xiao Ye stretched out his right hand, flicked his fingers, and the bullet immediately returned to the barrel of his gun with a thud. Parker's pistol was out of his hand, and the tremendous force even tore the muscles of his thumb directly apart. He finally realized that the other party's powerful ability must be a high-level Force awakener.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" he asked, though he gave up resisting, but did not seem to give in, "Do you know the consequences of your doing?" Bastard, you just killed a colonel of the United States!"
Li Muye smiled and said, "If old Barton is here, he will definitely not ask me such a stupid question, Mr. Parker, you still have a chance to answer the question well, if you choose to give up, I don't mind looking for the answer yourself......"
