Tang Shuxing, Reuben and Barbelo sat around the altar, and Barbelo handed Tang Shuxing and the two cans of food, but they both politely refused because they could not eat the child's stock.

Pablo put the canned food on the ground and said: "You guys still eat it, I have enough to eat, there is a factory ten kilometers away from here, there are a lot of canned food there, I will take some back every time, but most of them are expired, if you are lucky, you won't have diarrhea, and if you are unlucky, you will be like me last month, I was sick for half a month, and I almost died." ”

"It's okay, we'll go find some prey or something." Ruben smiled, comforting Pablo.

"If you shoot, you'll attract the soldiers of Shandu, and a lot of the animals here are dead, and you can't even catch hares, if you're willing to eat voles......" Barbero looked at them, "and now in this season, there are no voles, no animals." ”

Tang Shuxing leaned to the side and asked, "What about your family?" ”

"They're all dead." Pablo replied calmly, "Two years ago, on my tenth birthday, the soldiers of Shandu came into the village and told us to leave here, we didn't leave, they shot and killed Isaac and José's family, my parents and my uncle had to take me and follow them away, on the way out, my parents covered me and my uncle to jump out of the car, but they were shot by the soldiers, and that's it. ”

Tang Shuxing glanced at Reuben and asked, "What about your uncle?" ”

"I'm dead, I'm sick, I don't know what kind of disease I have." Pablo pointed to the outside of the church and said, "I couldn't drag him, so I had to bury him outside the church, and I dug a pit just enough to bury him...... Did you know? Among those soldiers of Shandu. Many of them were soldiers who were supposed to defend us before, Spanish soldiers, our soldiers, but they changed into Shandu's clothes and shot at us. ”

As he spoke, Pablo simulated the sound of gunfire: "That's it, kill a lot of us, they say that the end is coming, it's done in order to keep us alive, to perpetuate humanity or something." I don't understand either. ”

Tang Shuxing touched Pablo's head: "You are so powerful." A person who has lived here for so long, you are a hero. ”

"No, I'm not." Barbero shook his head indifferently, "My uncle said before he died. There are no heroes in this world. It's good to survive. ”

Barberrow's words made both Tang Shuxing and Reuben extremely uncomfortable. He had to keep his mouth shut, but Pablo kept asking this and that, and finally said that he wanted to join the Resistance. Because he's 12 years old, he's going to shoot.

"Pablo, the Resistance doesn't just shoot guns, you also need to learn other things, you should learn knowledge and play at your age." Reuben said with a smile, but he knew in his heart that minors accounted for a large part of the resistance, and this was a helpless move, and there was no way to do it. In several battles, he saw with his own eyes those children who had a hard time running for more than ten meters with guns in their hands, and died in the midst of artillery fire and indiscriminate gunfire.

"There's no time, I've listened to your radio before, didn't you say that? There is no time, and if we don't take up arms, we will all be completely enslaved by Shangdu and killed by them. Pablo looked at Ruben with a stern face.

Ruben nodded: "yes, there is no time." ”

"Pablo, let me ask you, do you know how many garrisons of Shandu are around here? Or is there a concentration camp not far from here? Tang Shuxing asked.

Pablo nodded: "There is a concentration camp, there is about a concentration camp from here, I calculate, there are more than ten kilometers, I just estimated, at the bottom of the mountain, built the year before last, they spent a year building something there, and then built a house, and dug a hole in the mountain, I don't know what they are doing." ”

"How many people are there? The captured prisoners and the soldiers of Shangdu? Tang Shuxing asked again.

"I don't know." Pablo shook his head, "There are many, but there are also many deaths, I once passed through the forest and saw that there were a lot of charred corpses there, at least more than a hundred people, and their heads were all cut off. ”

"This bunch of crumbs." Ruben scolded in a low voice.

"Caves, repairs?" Tang Shuxing muttered to himself in a low voice, and asked, "Do you know what they are doing?" ”

Pablo shook his head: "I don't know, it's too far away, I don't dare to get closer, and it looks like there are mines around, because in the spring, I chased a rabbit, and when the rabbit ran towards it, it suddenly exploded while running." ”

"Pablo, you're smart." Tang Shuxing said with a smile.

Pablo immediately laughed: "Can I join the Resistance?" ”

"Yes!" Tang Shuxing nodded and looked at Ruben, "Ruben, you take him here and wait for me." ”

Ruben immediately stood up and said, "You want to go alone?" ”

"Yes, you can only get in the way of following me." Tang Shuxing deliberately said this, just to let Lu Ben not follow him, because that kind of place is too dangerous, and if Lu Ben goes, he will die for a lifetime.

Reuben looked at Tang Shuxing, then sat down and remained silent. Barbero looked at the two strangely, and then said, "Aren't you companions?" Companions should fight side by side. ”

After speaking, Barbelo found that Tang Shuxing and Ruben were looking at him, and immediately whispered: "This is what my uncle said......"

"Hear me?" Ruben looked at Tang Shuxing.

Tang Shuxing still shook his head: "No, you have to stay, Pabelo needs to be taken care of, in case something happens, you have to hide, understand?" Actually, I said that you are only in the way to prevent you from going, and when I come out, I need you to take me back to Africa, although it is far away, and it may take us a few months, but I have to go. ”

Ruben nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll wait for you here, but you must come back alive." ”

Tang Shuxing nodded, pointed to the can, and said, "Since I'm going, I must fill my stomach." ”

Pablo immediately helped Tang Shuxing open the can and handed it over, Tang Shuxing grabbed it with his hand and ate it, and then said with a smile: "It tastes good, believe it?" I haven't eaten in seven years. ”

Barberrow shook his head in disbelief, and Ruben was just laughing next to him, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Late at night, Tang Shuxing said goodbye to Barberrow and Reuben. Dressed in white clothes brought from Pablo, he wrapped the necessary things on his back, and carried his sword, and went alone in the direction that Pablo had pointed.

Tang Shuxing walked less than five kilometers in that direction, and then he saw the concentration camp at the foot of the mountain, which seemed to be because Pabelo was too small, and if he walked a little farther, he would feel very far away, so he would say about ten kilometers.

Tang Shuxing shook the poorly contacted night vision telescope in his hand, this thing belonged to Reuben, and he himself said that he had accompanied him in many battles. However, the problem of poor contact has not been solved. Tang Shuxing climbed on the edge of the trees and looked towards the concentration camp, and found that the concentration camp was built along the line of the mountain, which was very long, at least two kilometers long. But not wide.

The clearing outside the woods was clearly deliberately cut down. In many places, you can clearly see the stumps of trees emerging from the snow. Apparently to create an open space between the woods and the camp, so that anyone could approach and be quickly spotted.

Tang Shuxing looked around again. decided to make a detour, after all, if the mine was detonated, he would be injured and killed, not to mention, and it would also alarm the defenders inside.

Tang Shuxing continued to walk from the woods to the left, walked less than a kilometer distance, heard the roar of helicopters in the air, he stopped, probed out to look, and found three armed helicopters escorting a transport plane landed in the open space of the concentration camp, he immediately raised his binoculars to look, and saw the soldiers of the concentration camp lined up to welcome, it seemed that some big man had come.

He continued to walk to the left, and when he reached the mountain on the left, it was already early morning, so he had to find a place to hide for the time being, waiting for the night to come, because all the trees on the mountain had been cut down, and there was no place for him to hide.

Another boring day passed, and when the night came, Tang Shuxing crawled out of the filthy damp and smelly cave, and crawled along the ridge to the top, trying to stand on a high place and see the inside of the concentration camp clearly, so that if he sneaked in, he would know what to do, and he had a three-dimensional concept in his mind.

After climbing the ridge, Tang Shuxing walked along the way and found that there were holes dug everywhere on the side of the mountain of the concentration camp, some large and some small, which did not look like they were digging an open-pit mine, as if someone had buried something in the past, and they were digging it again, and there were many large excavators below.

Between the camp and the open space outside, there was a sturdy tower about every fifty meters, and the tower was lined with large-caliber machine guns and grenade launchers on all sides, and judging by the special firing holes above, there should have been one or two snipers.

Tang Shuxing continued to climb towards the top, and after climbing to the top position, he leaned against a rock and continued to look down, and found that the lights below were bright tonight, and the soldiers were all five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and it seemed that the big man wanted to inspect.

But why inspect at night? Tang Shuxing didn't understand, at this moment, Tang Shuxing saw a lot of people walking out of a cement building next to him, he immediately adjusted the magnification of the telescope, looked carefully, when he saw clearly the big man surrounded by the group of officers, he was stunned, and his breathing almost stopped - it was none other than his titular wife Xia Jiezhu.

Seven years have made Xia Jiezhu a lot older, but her figure is the same as before, the makeup on her face is much thicker, she is still a well-fitting military uniform, with a long windbreaker on the outside, and the officers next to her are explaining what she is talking to along the way, Xia Jiezhu doesn't open her mouth, she doesn't nod, she just walks quietly towards the front.

As she walked, Xia Jiezhu suddenly stopped and waved her hand, and then two soldiers stepped forward and took down the commentator directly, and then dragged him aside and killed him directly on the head.

After the officer died, the other concentration camp officers were pale with fright, Xia Jiezhu said something to the remaining officers, and then continued to walk forward, the group of officers were stunned for a long time, and then they trembled and followed, but no one dared to speak anymore, just walked with their heads down, wiping their sweat from time to time.

"It's still the same, and my personality and temper haven't changed." Tang Shuxing shook his head, looked down, thinking about finding an entrance to sneak in, and at the same time, he was also thinking that since Xia Jiezhu came to this place in person, it meant that there must be something strange here, something that Shang Du thought was very important.
