CHAPTER IX

Whoever they are, they don't disappear. Before the smoke could clear, Kurt spotted a curving alley next to the residential building. The Americans have occupied this place for so long, but the terrain here is not yet understood by the Chinese. What kind of guys are these Chinese?

The alley is deep and winding, making it a good place for ambushes. Being teased twice in one day by the close range of the enemy made Kurt's lungs blow up, and he was discouraged by his anger and subconsciously stopped in front of the alley.

"Search forward."

Kurt ordered Martin to lead the infantry into the alley. Martin fired a flare into the air with a flare gun, illuminating the alley as bright as day, and leading the infantry into it. Kurt followed up and told Nelson to send a group of men to the opposite side of the alley to intercept the enemy, and then send himself a squad of soldiers. When the soldiers of this squad arrived, Kurt mustered up the courage to march down the alley.

Martin warns Kurt that he has found an unconcealed broadsword mine in the alley, so let them be mindful of the speed of their advance, there may be a trap ahead. When Kurt heard this, he ordered his men to speed up their pace, and caught up with Martin's squad in battle formation in the middle of the alley.

"Don't worry about any traps, speed up and catch up." Kurt said to Martin. "Look at the enemy's skills, do you think they will not be able to make a trap? This is something they deliberately let us find out, just to deter us, so there won't be any traps ahead. ”

Martin was skeptical of Kurt's answer, but saw that Kurt was the first to chase after him, so he had to quickly follow.

Sure enough, there were no surprises until the exit of the alley.

Nelson's Humvee convoy had reached the exit of the alley, but they didn't see any suspicious figures. As soon as the neighborhood began to 'cross' fire, the residents were already out of sight. The alley connected the previous block with another street, and it was evident that while Martin was hesitating for the broad-cut mine, the two enemies had disappeared into the block in all directions. Standing in the center of the street, Kurt couldn't understand why they hadn't escaped by following the secret passage.

Nelson informed him that there had been an explosion in the basement of the residential building and that an entrance and exit suspected to be a secret passage had been buried and inaccessible for several hours.

They could have done that after entering the secret passage, Kurt thought as he walked down the street. Someone escapes through a secret passage, someone risks escaping from here, why?

Eager to let go of Kurt's hand, Ro'Gate and Ace immediately moved into the alley next to the house.

In just a few minutes, Luo 'Men' was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out, and what he was most worried about was that An Nianrong, who was carrying his back, would moan unconsciously. However, An Nianrong did not make a sound to indicate that she had entered an unconscious 'coma' state, and the longer this state lasted, the smaller An Nianrong's chance of survival.

In the thick smoke, Romen and Ace relied on memory and calculation of their own steps to move freely. At first, the U.S. military's trick of staying still made it very difficult for the two of them, because the pressure of the environment will make memories and feelings skewed in a short period of time, and their perception of the environment can only be maintained for a few minutes at most, and if there is interference, the situation is even worse. Fortunately, the U.S. military also has the same pressure, so Kurt's temporary change greatly increases the chances of Ro'mon.

According to ACE's meaning, a fake trap should be followed by a real trap, anyway, they only have these two broadsword mines left on their bodies, and it is a burden to carry them, but Luo 'Men' wanted to buy time for An Nianrong, so he didn't agree, and when he got out of the alley, he heard the sound of the Humvee convoy, and the two of them went into another alley. Now a car is needed.

After getting out of this alley, ACE quickly got a car.

Putting An Nianrong down in the back seat, her pulse was already faint to almost nothing.

"She can't survive, Ro'mon." ACE started the car. "You're 'hooked' by her, that's why you ignore the rules of battle."

"FIGHT IS FOR PEOPLE, ACE, AT LEAST SHE'S NOT DEAD YET." Luo 'Men' checked his rifle, and he had consumed a lot of *** in the 'crossfire' just now. "If she finds a hospital, she'll be saved."

"You're looking for a hospital?!" ACE'S EYES WIDENED. "You're going to the hospital at this time?!"

"I don't have plasma, if I have it I can do it myself." Ro'men began to reload the empty magazine. "But since we're going to the hospital, why don't we just find a real doctor to treat her?"

ACE didn't speak, and when he was really angry, he would have very few words.

Cars drive through the streets into more orderly neighborhoods, and in some areas there are even street lamps preserved. Both men took off their ski masks and hung their tea towels back on their heads.

"Don't you want to explain to me what you do?" ACE finally couldn't help but ask Ro'mon. "Even if you can save this 'woman' life, you have to tell why, right?"

"Because now she's more important than any of us." Ro' didn't look at the ace. "Let me tell you this, if I can exchange your life for her, I will not hesitate to do so, and if I can exchange the two of us for hers, then it will be fine."

ACE couldn't help but glance back. "Is this chick that important?"

Ro'men just nodded silently.

ACE didn't know about the "oracle" yet, so he couldn't understand why An Nianrong was the real leader in the fight against the "oracle". Her status, her background, and the resources she now has at her disposal determine the fact that she is the opponent of the "oracle". It was also after seeing An Nianrong establish his own action center that Luo 'Men' determined such a direction. Force cannot solve all problems, and force is also unreliable, and the defeat of the Tigers is a counter-example, and if the source of danger cannot be eliminated once and for all, strong force will be lost. In such a struggle, it is not fighters like Luo 'Men' who solve the problem, but administrators like An Nianrong.

The old Japanese car drove frantically through the streets and rushed towards the Al-Kindi Teaching Hospital.

Hospitals in Baghdad are busy, no matter what time it is. Ongoing armed clashes and bombings have resulted in a steady stream of wounded, while there is an acute shortage of doctors and nurses. The hospital, which had been destroyed in the war, looked very shabby, there was no glass on many 'doors' and windows, there was a lot of garbage scattered on the ground, most of it was discarded medical items and medical records, the wards and corridors and halls were full of people waiting to be treated, there was a disinfectant floating in the air and a body odor 'mixed', as soon as he entered the hall, he snatched a bloodstained ambulance from someone else and put An Nianrong on it. His Minimi machine gun was a deterrent to the disgruntled.

The hospital's emergency room is almost completely open, with only a few curtains hastily enclosing the cubicles. Ro' told Ace to look for plasma, and then pushed the bed into a partition. There were already people working on it inside, and a nurse and a doctor looked in amazement at the intruder, saying something loudly in Arabic.

Ro'men drew his pistol and pointed it at the doctor.

"I don't care what you say, I'll dispose of my patients first, thank you."

The doctor was very calm, and perhaps he had already blamed a similar scene here. "Please line up in order, sir."

Luo 'Men' pulled away the ambulance in front of the doctor and pushed his own one first. "It's my order now. Please forgive my faux pas, sir, but my patient cannot wait any longer. ”

He put down his pistol, took out a pair of gloves from the cabinet next to the nurse and put them on, picked up a pair of scissors to cut the simple bandaging on An Nianrong's stomach, and then looked up at the overwhelmed doctor.

"Doctor, what are you waiting for?"

The doctor looked at Romen in embarrassment and glanced at the patient with his eyes.

"If I don't cure this person first, we're all in trouble."

Ro' keenly caught the panic in the doctor's eyes, and followed his gaze to see an AK rifle leaning against the cabinet next to him, while the man on the 'bed' was staring blankly at Ro' 'Men', with a bullet hole in his 'chest' that looked halfway to the point.

"Leave this man alone, doctor." Luo 'Men' picked up the disinfectant iodine and stuffed it into the nurse's hand.

"If we don't cure this man, they say they're going to kill us all." The doctor looked at the nurse. "And you're going to get Americans or police in no time."

Ro'mon looked around warily. "You mean, he still has companions here?"

The doctor nodded imperceptibly.

Romen picked up a pistol and shot the man in the bed, then turned to the doctor amid the nurse's screams.

"I'm sorry, doctor, but if you still stand stupidly like this, I'll beat you to death too."

The sound of gunfire alarmed many people, and ACE's inquiry was heard in the headphones. "Where to shoot? What is the situation? ”

"There are militants in this hospital who have been 'exchanging fire' with us." Luo 'Men' motioned with his pistol to the doctor to hurry up and start his work, and then quickly checked the movement outside the curtain. "Be careful yourself, and meet me when you get the plasma."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the hallway, and it sounded like a lot of people were running towards it.

Romen smiled at the doctor. "I don't have time, you either save people or I'll give you a bullet."

The doctor and the nurse 'exchanged' their eyes and began to treat An Nianrong's wound. Luo 'Men' stood outside the curtain and pulled it open halfway so that he could monitor the situation in the hall and see the situation in the emergency room.

"Doctor, I know a little bit about surgery, so don't make me suspicious, thank you."

The doctor glanced at Ro'mon, and the expression on his face was complicated.

"I'm different from you, sir, I only save people, I don't kill people."

"Allah bless you, Doctor. Don't stop your work until I fall. ”

Ro'men nodded to him, then turned around and aimed his M4A1 carbine in the direction of the sound of footsteps.
