Chapter 21 (II) The Great Purge
"Over there! Go over there and block them! Hurry up, hurry up! β
"Five more people on the left! Set up heavy weapons over there! If anyone resists, shoot them in the street! β
The group of soldiers who were shooting in the streets shouted for their companions, and at the same time, a squad of soldiers rushed to Quinn's car, banged on the window, and motioned for Quinn to take out his papers.
Quinn opened a crack and handed the documents out, and the soldier took one look at them and stuffed them back, motioning for them to leave quickly, and said loudly, "Get out of here, there will be a large-scale manhunt here!" β
"Did you find the remnant?" Quinn subconsciously asked, using the word remnant, if he didn't use this word, he would be considered by the group of soldiers in front of him to be with remnant.
"No comment, let's go!" The soldier shouted, and just after shouting, a bullet pierced his back, and the soldier fell down, and the other soldiers immediately opened fire in the direction of the bullet, and then an RPG rocket was fired from the roof of a small building on the right, and the rocket directly hit an armed pickup truck next to it.
After the pickup truck caught fire and exploded, Quinn immediately put up reverse gear, stepped back with full horsepower, and retreated the car to the fortification on the side of the street, then grabbed his assault rifle, opened the chamber and checked it, turned his head and said: "Reuben, you stay here and don't walk around, I'll go see what's going on, if it's really dangerous, call our people to support, but don't all of them, just call the emergency team selected before." β
Reuben nodded, and Barberry immediately said, "Uncle Quinn." You be careful. β
"It's fine." Quinn smiled at Barberrow, opened the door and got out of the car, hung his papers on his chest, then stopped one of the officers rushing in front of him, showed him the papers, and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" β
"It's the remnant!" The officer pointed to the corridor, "I don't know how many people there are, judging by the previous attack, there is probably a squad of people." Both light and heavy weapons are available. Maybe they saw that we blocked another group of them, so they wanted to come and help, and if you want to help, help us watch the people in the alley who were just arrested. There were nine people. We were left with only three men to guard it. You go and help them. β
Quinn nodded, turned and walked down the alley, past the car. He gestured to Rubenbi and signaled that he wanted to enter.
When Quinn walked into the alley, he found that the average age of the three soldiers guarding was less than 16 years old, and they were still three children, leaving them to guard at this time.
Those so-called remnants are about the same age as them, and the oldest is only about 20 years old, what do such children know? Do you know what a loyal command is? Is there a mistake?
Quinn showed his ID and told him that the officer had asked him to help, but the kid in the lead didn't believe it, didn't look at it, looked nervous, and his face was covered with sweat.
"I'm really here to help, don't panic, take your hands off the trigger and be careful of misfire." Quinn raised his hands and didn't dare to move forward, he believed that as long as he moved, the child in front of him would really shoot.
The boy yelled, not in English, like a dialect somewhere in Africa, and Quinn couldn't understand what he was saying, so he had to gesture there, and then an English-speaking kid came up to him, talked to Quinn for a few words, and then looked at his papers, and then asked his companion to put down his gun.
The English-speaking child looked at the captives and suddenly asked Quinn, "They are remnants, and they deserve to die, right?" β
Quinn looked at the kid, "It's not up to us to decide whether they live or die. β
On the contrary, the child looked at Quinn in surprise and said excitedly: "They all deserve to die, the officer said, they used to let us go to death and arrest us at will, they are criminals, they are bad people, they are demons!" β
Quinn looked at the other two children and found that the two children were not only panicked, but also nervous, and of course deliberately pretended to be angry, in short, very contradictory, and the children who were facing the wall were trembling with fear.
At this moment, one of the captives shouted: "We are civilians, not remnants, you have caught the wrong person!" β
"Nope! You have taken in the remnant! The English-speaking kid said, "Shut up!" Shut up! β
"Calm down!" Quinn immediately raised his hand to signal them to calm down, but the three children looked agitated, grabbing the AKM and waving it as if they were about to shoot.
At this time, the captured captives began to shout that they had been wronged, and at this time Quinn probably understood, they just took in some remnants of the command in order to make some money, in fact, they did not know the identity of the other party, nor did they know what the remnants had with other troops.
Finally, one of the captives couldn't hold it back, turned around and raised his hands and said: "Please, listen to my explanation, don't kill me, I'm really not ......"
One of the children pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the chest of the captive who got up, and the captive immediately fell to the ground, and the rest of the captives who were still on the ground began to cry and scream, and one of them was so frightened that he peed his pants and cried against the wall.
"You! Put the gun down! Quinn stepped forward and snatched the AKM from the child's hand, and was about to reprimand him, but he heard the rapid sound of gunfire, and the captives were shot, and he turned to see that the English-speaking child pulled the trigger and began to shoot, and the other child saw that he had fired, and immediately opened fire.
Quinn stepped forward and knocked one of them down, knocked him unconscious with a punch, and then turned back to see that the remaining kid had run out of magazines and was scrambling to change them, but when he pulled the magazine from the belt, the magazine fell directly to the ground, and when he leaned over to pick it up, Quinn kicked the magazine away, and then grabbed his clothes against the wall, shouting: "They're dead, no more shooting, take a good look, all the innocents you killed!" Civilian! It's unarmed civilians! You idiot! β
The kid looked at Quinn with his mouth wide open, and after a long time, he looked at the pile of corpses under the corner, pointed to the corpse and said something that made Quinn completely collapse: "It's not dead, there's still a person moving, kill him, kill that remnant quickly!" β
Quinn punched the kid in the face, knocking him unconscious, and when he turned to check on the wounded captive, the kid who had taken the assault rifle away from him pulled out the old Soviet pistol and fired several shots at the captive, killing the wounded captive at the same time, the last shot, because of the aging of the gun, blew up his face to shreds, covering his face and rolling on the ground.
Quinn stood there, his mind blank, and waited a few seconds before rushing over to help the kid with his first aid kit, while the remaining two children were still fainting and in front of them was a pile of corpses shattered by assault rifles.
For a long time, Quinn bandaged the child, injected him with coffee, relieved his pain, and was about to go to the officer, the officer had already returned, covered in blood, but it didn't look like his own.
The officer looked at the two children who had fainted, and the child whose face was bandaged, and did not ask what was going on, but just glanced at the corpses, and said to Quinn, "Well done, the remnants deserve to die!" β
"I didn't kill it." Quinn stood up and said, "They did it, that ......"
Quinn suddenly didn't know what to say, and the officer looked at him in confusion for a long time before he heard him say, "His gun is blown, take him back to the rescue, if he is in time, he may only lose an eye." β
"We don't need crippled soldiers." The officer kicked the unconscious kid with his foot, pulled them up, pushed one of them out, left one behind, pointed to the assault rifle in his hand, and pointed to the wounded child on the ground, "You should know how to do it." β
With that, the officer stepped aside and waited, looking at Quinn coldly.
Quinn looked at the young soldier who had just come to his senses and aimed his assault rifle at his companion, and had no idea that the officer would shoot his own men without leaving the wounded.
"Hurry up, we're in a hurry!" The officer urged, and the child's fingers slowly rested on the trigger, and his mouth opened and silently said "I'm sorry."
At this moment, Quinn suddenly stepped forward to grab the gun, but was restrained by the officer's gun, shouting, "What do you want to do?" Pity him? This is the law, we don't have so many drugs, and if we don't protect ourselves on the battlefield, we will only die. β
At this point, the boy fired, killing his companion directly, and then put down the gun and stood there dumbfounded.
The officer pushed the child out and motioned for him to leave the alley, then walked up to Quinn, chewed gum and asked, "Which unit are you from?" β
Quinn looked at the corpse on the ground and whispered a few words, and the officer leaned closer and asked, "What did you say?" Be louder! β
"I said fuck you!" As Quinn said aloud, he pulled out the officer's dagger and stabbed him directly in the neck, then pressed his head to the ground, leaving his eyes on the corpse, and the officer's whole body struggled, and it didn't take long for him to stop moving.
Quinn was much more conscious by this time, and he knew what the consequences of what he had done, so he immediately grabbed the officer's body and threw it into the garbage bin next to him, and threw in a white phosphorus bomb, and then ran backwards out of the alley to return to the car.
But when Quinn walked out of the alley, he found a different scene on the streetβthe officer's men hung the so-called remnants of the slain on the street lamps, beat them with sticks, and then poured oil on them, and then set them on fire, or tied the half-dead people to the back of the car and dragged them to death.
In the process of doing these things, the young children all held up the AKM in their hands and chanted the slogan "Kill the remnants", looking extremely excited.
Inside the car, Ruben covered Barbero's eyes and turned his head to look to the other side, feeling that he was now in hell instead of Ismailia. (To be continued......)
