Chapter XXII: The Clergy

After the plane took off, Tang Shuxing's tears kept rolling down his eyes, and Ji Kefeng had already hid in the corner of the plane and cried silently, except Gu Yan who sat there numbly, looking ahead expressionlessly. The cry echoed throughout the cabin, and the two pilots didn't look at each other, didn't comfort them, and didn't look at each other, because they were afraid, they were afraid that some small touch would also make them become like Ji Kefeng and Tang Shuxing.

None of the people who were involved in the war said that they did not suffer from their injuries, and that they had no relatives or friends who died in the war. People continue to die, and wars continue, big and small.

This world is a bottomless hole that can never be filled with human life.

When the plane broke through the haze, passed through the clouds, and finally flew high into the sky, the dazzling sunlight made the cabin quiet, and the five people on the plane all turned their heads to look at the sun above the clouds, and just watched blankly, until they saw the plane descend again and fall into the fog.

"15 minutes to get to the destination! The destination is a warring zone! Repeat, the destination is a war zone, so be prepared! The main pilot informed the three people behind him on the radio, and after he finished speaking, he paused, glanced at the co-pilot next to him, and said, "Three, good luck to you, you must come back alive." ”

When they arrived at the sky above the destination, Tang Shuxing and them took the way of parachuting, and before they were about to parachute, Tang Shuxing specially asked the pilot, whether the coordinates of their parachute landing were also the people above who were destined to die? The pilot's answer was yes, and he sued them. After they parachuted, the plane would immediately go to the airfield, which was more than 200 kilometers away, controlled by Chi Chen.

"How many places does Chi Chen control now?" Tang Shuxing finally asked.

"A lot." The pilot said, "Shangdu didn't pay attention to our expansion, I don't know why, okay, ready!" ”

When the cabin door opened, the three people standing at the hatch couldn't see anything, and the outside was completely covered with layers of fog, and the pollution of the land was particularly severe.

Tang Shuxing grabbed the safety rope next to him. Slowly walk to the edge. Hearing the pilot's urging, he then gave a thumbs up to Ji Kefeng, and was the first to jump down, followed by Ji Kefeng and Gu Yan.

When you parachute down from the mist. If it weren't for the gravitational pull. They couldn't tell where the sky was. Where is the ground, the east, west, north and south indications on the watch are also completely messed up, constantly turning in circles. It seems that there is a problem with the magnetic field here as well.

When they finally reached the ground, they finally saw one cross after another erected on the ground, and the three of them adjusted their posture in a panic so as not to be hung by the crosses on the ground.

Landing safely, the three of them simply put away the parachutes and piled them together, only to find that the place they were in was a cemetery.

"How can it be a graveyard?" Ji Kefeng looked left and right, "Is this Wu Kelan?" ”

"If the clown says yes, then it must be." Tang Shuxing picked up his weapon and listened around, "The pilot said that this was a combat area before, but there was no sound of gunfire, which is very strange. ”

Gu Yan pointed ahead: "There seems to be a building there, if you look closely, you can see it faintly in the thick fog, like a church." ”

Tang Shuxing made a gesture of scattering forward, and then slowly stepped forward with a gun, Ji Kefeng quickly circled to the left, and Gu Yan stayed on the right back, keeping a certain distance from the two, worried that there would be an ambush around, because it was too quiet.

As they approached the building, they heard singing, and from the sound it sounded like a large group of people had gathered together.

The three of them continued to move on, approaching the building, only to see that it was a church, an Orthodox church, but strangely enough, the cross on it was painted bright red, and there were four skeletons hanging from the four corners of the cross.

Tang Shuxing pressed the intercom and said, "The situation is unknown, I'll go to the church window to have a look." ”

"Be careful." Ji Kefeng squatted down behind a tomb and observed the surroundings, Gu Yan in the distance climbed a dead tree in twos and threes, but this did not make his vision too good, because the haze was too thick, and it was not easy to see a few meters away, so he could only turn on the thermal sensor and observe it around.

"There's no one around." Gu Yan looked around and said, "At least there are no creatures with body temperature." ”

"Roger." Tang Shuxing had already walked to the window, but the window with the pattern made him completely unable to see the situation inside, and could only see a vague figure, Tang Shuxing turned his head and walked towards the gate, just walked over, but saw the door open, he immediately dodged away, and then turned his head to look at a little blonde girl in white standing there, looking around.

Tang Shuxing walked out slowly, put the gun down, squatted down and said, "Hi." ”

The little blonde girl was startled at first, then grinned, just shook her head, and then pointed to the door of the church, as if to signal Tang Shuxing to enter, just when Tang Shuxing didn't understand what was going on, a white-haired priest appeared at the door, and the cross around the priest's neck was also blood-red.

The priest looked at Tang Shuxing, but said with a smile on his face, "Child, you are welcome." ”

Tang Shuxing's first instinct when he saw the priest was that the smile on his face was very hypocritical, he had seen too many people, good and bad, sincere and hypocritical, so he could distinguish it at a glance, but he just pretended to take the gun off, and while holding it in his hand, he pressed the continuous call of the intercom, so that Ji Kefeng and Gu Yan outside could clearly know what was going on inside.

"Hello." Tang Shuxing smiled at the priest.

The priest kept smiling, motioned for him to go in, and at the same time swept outside, the meaning was very clear, knowing that Tang Shuxing had other companions outside, Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, "The nine of them are on guard outside. ”

Tang Shuxing deliberately exaggerated the number of people, and the priest listened to the muscles on his face tremble, and then motioned for him to enter the church.

The moment Tang Shuxing walked into the church, he saw the guns and ammunition piled up on the left and right sides, as well as equipment such as body armor and helmets, and further on, there were at least fifty or sixty people sitting in the church. There were also some children, and only the children were dressed in white, and the others were dressed in civilian clothes.

When those people saw Tang Shuxing, they didn't show any hostility, nor did they show any vigilant expressions, and their faces were full of an indescribable expression, as if they were relieved that they didn't care about anything.

The priest pointed to the weapons that Tang Shuxing was carrying, and then to the weapons and equipment next to him, meaning that he should also take them off and put them there.

Tang Shu pretended not to understand. The priest said: "This is a sacred place. Weapons should not be carried on the person, because God does not receive the person who carries the murder weapon. ”

Tang Shuxing still shook his head, he felt strange, this priest was talking about God. And not the Lord. Is it not an Orthodox church? Rather, it was occupied by something else?

Just when Tang Shuxing was confronting the priest, he heard Gu Yan say outside: "Someone's coming, 10 people." Coming in a fan shape from the east, the pace was fast, it should be a search on the move, carrying light and heavy weapons, and I also saw two of them with RPGs, which should be other participating teams. ”

Ji Kefeng also closed his eyes and perceived: "Gu Yan is right, 10 people, the breath is very weak, and the body should not be too good, so it is easy to defeat them, and the equipment they carry should not be advanced, otherwise, we should have been discovered a long time ago, in addition, there are no corpses and aliens among them." ”

"Give the order, deal with them." Gu Yan said.

Tang Shu said, "Wait a minute. Then Tang Shuxing looked at the priest and said, "Sir, there is another team coming from outside, I hope you can disperse the people here now and let them hide in a safer place, because that team is carrying heavy weapons, and if a fight breaks out, there may be innocent people involved." ”

After hearing this, the priest shook his head calmly and said, "No, I will not let them leave, we refuse war and killing, and we firmly believe that God will stop this." ”

At this point, the priest pushed open the door and strode out.

Tang Shuxing immediately pressed the intercom and said, "Don't shoot, don't exchange fire, listen to my command." ”

As he spoke, Tang Shuxing lifted the assault rifle in his hand, turned around and hid on the other side of the door, smiled at the little blonde girl who was looking at him with curious eyes, and motioned for her to hide behind a sturdy wall on one side.

The little girl thought he was going to play hide and seek, nodded vigorously, and raised ten fingers, meaning that he would go to her after dozens of sounds.

Tang Shuxing took a deep breath and looked at the priest outside, and the priest had already begun to give his speech at this moment, and his voice was very loud: "People of God, this is not your destination, and the killing object in your hand should not be the object you hold tightly, what you hold should be your own soul, hold him to God, let God cleanse your soul from sin, and let God ......"

As soon as the words fell, a bullet came from a distance, directly hitting the priest's shoulder, Tang Shuxing rushed over and grabbed the priest, dragged him in, and just half of the drag, the bullet was overwhelming.

Ji Kefeng said at this time: "Give the order, they will kill even innocent people!" Hurry up! ”

I don't know why, Tang Shuxing always felt a little inappropriate, he just pressed the intercom and said, "Don't shoot, something is a little wrong, you wait first!" Put on the muffler and aim at the target. ”

Ji Kefeng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Gu Yan was silent, just staring at the two people carrying RPGs in the distance, he knew that once he fired, the first thing to deal with would be these two guys, and at the same time staring at their corpses, as long as someone stepped forward to take a bazooka, he would have to kill them all, because a rocket shot into the church can kill and injure most of the people.

"Priest, are you alright?" Tang Shuxing asked the priest who was covering his wounds, and the priest just shook his head, Tang Shuxing turned to look at the others in the church, only to find that those people were just praying with their hands clenched into fists, and no one came forward to help.

Tang Shuxing shouted, "Is there a first-aid kit?" Come and save people! What are you doing in a daze? ”

No one moved, everyone closed their eyes and prayed, except for the little blonde girl who was hiding in the corner and counting down at a slow pace......

Damn, these people are taking the wrong medicine? Tang Shuxing dragged the priest to the side and hid it, then grabbed the assault rifle and slowly looked outside. (To be continued......)
