Chapter 60: Life
Mo Bei's sadness has disappeared after a moment of stunned, these two women and little girls are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her mother is not yet forty years old, they are indeed one of the most vulnerable groups in Los Angeles, but in the past two days, there are too many people who have stopped the soldiers and asked to be taken in, so many that it makes people numb. The only difference www.biquge.info is that this is the first time Mo Bei has been stopped, and Mo Bei doesn't want to take on an extra person's life at the moment, because Los Angeles will soon tighten its supplies, and even soldiers will probably have to tighten their belts to support their military dependents.
Mo Bei sighed in his heart, stuffed the box of canned meat sent last night into the middle-aged woman's hand from his arms, and then stood up and prepared to leave. The middle-aged woman looked at the back of Mo Bei who was about to leave, and then looked at the can in her hand, her eyes showed despair, and then despair was replaced by determination, she stuffed the can into her daughter's arms, looked at her nostalgically, and stood up violently.
"Stop her!"
"Bang!"
Wang Jie, who had already gotten into the car, shouted sharply, and before Mo Bei could react, a figure ran past her and crashed into the truck. Mo Bei was completely stunned, the middle-aged woman crashed into the truck and fell softly, Wang Jie quickly jumped out of the car and pulled away the little girl who pounced on the woman. After half a ring, Wang Jie stood up, turned his head, and shook his head at Mo Bei.
After a long time, Mo Bei heard the little girl's heart-rending cry, he didn't know what it was like in his heart, he ran up to check the woman's body, she had no heartbeat, and her body began to cool down in the cold wind. Wang Jie looked at the woman's corpse and the woman lying on the corpse, and a sadness flashed in his eyes, he guessed the beginning but not the end. In the past two days, there have been many people stopping trucks and patrolling soldiers, but this is the first mother Wang Jie has seen who can give up her life for her children.
"What are you doing?" said a group of patrolling soldiers, one of whom stepped forward and pointed his gun at the woman's head. Mo Bei was furious, and rushed forward and punched the soldier in the face with a fierce punch. The soldiers were knocked down, and the other patrol soldiers immediately surrounded and pointed their guns at Mo Bei's body.
"Stop, get out of the way!" Wang Jie shouted and pushed the surrounding soldiers away. Mo Bei and Wang Jie's fierce patrol soldiers looked at each other, and finally the patrolling soldiers flinched. A second lieutenant is nothing, but a major is not something that soldiers can ignore.
"Sir, we are just on official business, this is the normal procedure for disposing of corpses, please cooperate!" a squad leader in the patrol saluted Wang Jie and said.
"Soldier, let's deal with this corpse, do you have any problems?" Wang Jie said coldly as he stared at the squad leader's eyes. Eventually, the squad leader looked away, waved his hand and left with the patrolling soldiers.
"Why did it happen like this?" the little girl had already fainted from crying, Mo Bei carried her fluttering body into the car, and carried her mother's body with Wang Jie. Mo Bei leaned on the co-pilot's seat and only felt weak, and the scene of this mother's determination to die kept repeating in his mind.
"It's not your fault. Wang Jie started the car silently, the truck slowly left, and the people around him watched this scene numbly. The truck left as if nothing had happened. After a long time, Wang Jie said slowly, "If you want to find someone to hate or someone to hate her, hate those people at the top of Los Angeles." Everything was decided by them, and if it weren't for the fact that they wanted to eliminate the threat of shantytowns, there would not have been this chain of events. We're just two small characters in L.A., and we're all in charge. ”
The truck drove silently to an open space in the outer city, where Mo Bei and Wang Jie moved the body of the little girl's mother out of the car, and released half a tank of diesel fuel from the truck and poured it on the body. The fire lit up slightly, then burned violently. Wang Jie smoked a cigarette and looked at the gradually sinking sun, the smoke made his expression unclear, I don't know what today's events reminded him of, who doesn't have a few stories hidden in the bottom of his heart after the end of the world that people can't look at directly.
Mo Bei was also smoking, taking a puff and coughing, but he was still smoking, and he had finished half a pack of cigarettes. Wang Jie also smoked a lot, and after smoking, he returned to normal, looking at the empty cigarette box and smashing his mouth. In the current world, even sadness is a luxury, and if they want to live, Wang Jie and Mo Bei don't have much time to squander in grief.
The corpse was slowly burned to charcoal, and Mo Bei grabbed a handful of ashes under the corpse and found a cloth to wrap it. One last look at the body, the truck left the clearing.
"I'll take care of this little girl in the future, you help me get a house first!" his throat was uncomfortable, and Mo Bei coughed fiercely a few times and said to Wang Jie. The place where Mo Bei lives now is still the four-person dormitory before, which is obviously not suitable for this teenage girl. According to military regulations, soldiers with military dependents can apply for a single room. It's just that now there are fewer and fewer single rooms, and the approval is becoming more and more stringent. If Wang Jie doesn't help Mo Bei go through the normal procedures by himself, I don't know how long it will take to apply for a single room.
"Okay, I'll find someone to do it now!" Wang Jie looked at Mo Bei, but he still had something to say. From a non-commissioned officer to an officer, that is, after the minimum rank of second lieutenant, a soldier can apply to let two military dependents enter the inner city, but even if these things are said, they are useless, people cannot be resurrected after death, and saying it is just a futile increase in some psychological burden.
Wang Jie found a few people, and soon found a small room in the inner city closer to the periphery. This house is also in a community, the original two-bedroom house was partitioned, and two military dependents and three soldiers who did not apply for military dependents have been inhabited.
"It's hard to get a house now, let's live here first, if there is a better house, I'll help you get it!" The little girl fainted from crying, Mo Bei placed him in the small single room, locked the door and walked out. None of the three soldiers in the two-bedroom house were there, only two military dependents watched them in silence. Even if the two GIs moved back and a little girl didn't look out of the ordinary. "Let's go, bring back all the winter clothes first, it's getting dark, and we have to keep vigil at night. The thing was pulled back and sent down first. In addition, I will grant you permission to rest tonight without going to the vigil. ”
"Forget it, I'd better go to the vigil. Can you not think of me as a beast?" After settling down, the little girl Mo Bei seemed to be a lot more relaxed, rolled her eyes and said to Wang Jie.
"You think too much, right?" Wang Jie deliberately showed an exaggerated expression of surprise and said, "I'm afraid that this little girl will wake up at night and will commit suicide if she can't stand the blow, so you can watch it a little, where do you want to go." ”
