Chapter Fifty-Six: Poison Emblem
While the people of the whole Soviet Union were praying for Seryosha and all the other Soviet prisoners of war, Seryosha and the others were sitting in the open space outside the plane enjoying their last dinner, the moon was in the sky, although this meal was not bad, but everyone had no appetite, just silently looked at their food in a daze. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSeryosha sat around with his brothers and Lebed, and no one wanted to talk or be interested in eating.
Not far from the ancient city of Pagman, from time to time there is the sound of MSL chanting, today is the night of Berat in the Islamic calendar, and it is also the "night of the exchange of texts" recorded in the Qur'an, according to the scriptures, the prophet has admonished his followers on this night to sincerely repent, ask for forgiveness, and pray for blessings can be allowed, so this night is also called the night of forgiveness. Tonight, almost all of Pugman's MSLs will go to the QZ temple to confess their sins for a year. Thus, although the number of Soviet prisoners of war was now as high as 100, there were only 10 heavily armed guards around.
Although the guerrilla guards numbered only ten, they remained invincible to the unarmed Seryosha and his comrades, whose guns were constantly swirling over the prisoners. Seryosha didn't have much time left, but he still didn't see Karim, and Seryosha's mood couldn't help but become a little impatient. If Karim doesn't show up tonight, Seryosha is afraid that he will really die.
"What's the weather like tomorrow?" Seryosha suddenly asked Lebed beside him for no reason.
"Tomorrow is a sunny day, hot and windless all day, a good weather to go to the guillotine?" Lebed sighed, even he didn't expect that at this time, he was still in the mood to joke. Lebed suddenly wanted to talk to someone, but after waiting for a long time, Seryosha stopped talking. At this time, Lebed suddenly thought about Seryosha and asked a question, which had always appeared in Lebed's mind for the past few days, and even he himself wondered why he didn't think about running away in this situation, but was thinking about these things out of nothing. So he asked Seryosha: "Seryosha, do you say that Grachev especially wants you to die on the battlefield?" ā
"Why do you ask?" Seryosha asked Lebed curiously.
"I'm a little curious, why is it that our battalion goes to carry out every dangerous mission, and why does Grachev call you every time? Although your platoon is not bad, but after all, it is not the sharp knife unit of the 354 Airborne Regiment, and you are even counted down every time you are assessed, but why does Grachev have a soft spot for us, have you ever thought about this problem? Lebed threw the questions that had been haunting his mind for the past few days to Seryosha. Even Lebed didn't know why he thought so, perhaps because of the pressure caused by the death penalty!
Lebed's question did make Seryosha feel that something was wrong, he had always thought that Grachev was a good person, and he had never thought about it from this point of view. Recall that Chernenko sent himself and his brothers to Afghanistan at that time, in the final analysis, because Seryosha threatened him, either to help him escape, or to break the net. Can't Chernenko pit himself? Send the threatening guys to the battlefield and get rid of them with the hands of the enemy, if this is the case, then the reason why Seryosha has ended up in his current situation is entirely because Chernenko and Grachev have joined forces to do a dead end for themselves.
Just as Seryosha was deep in thought, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the extremely quiet moonlight. A young girl dressed in the traditional dress of an Afghan woman and wearing a headscarf walks from a distance in the moonlight, and the girl looks like a goddess in the moonlight. All the men present focused their eyes on her, and both the guards and the prisoners of war were almost fascinated by the girl's beauty. Seryosha was the only exception, because the person who came was none other than Karim, who had not been seen for many days.
Karim was followed by a few retinues carrying things, and just as Karim was about to rush towards Seryosha, the armed men in charge of the guards blocked Karim's way.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? "The armed man in charge of the guard probably didn't have a bad attitude because Karim was a beautiful woman, but he picked up the gun in his hand with some vigilance.
"I'm the daughter of former President Amin, and I'm here today just to see my husband, who is a Russian......" Before Karim could finish speaking, the armed men refused Karim's request. They waved at Karim, motioning for Karim to get out of here.
"Big brothers, you can do it, my husband will be executed tomorrow, I just want him to taste the food I cooked, can't you all be accommodating in this request?" Karim said with tears in her eyes as she said as she pulled some money out of her body and shoved it into the hands of the armed men. The armed men eventually beckoned impatiently, and finally let Karim pass.
Karim walked up to Seryosha, laid out a blanket in front of him, and in a few moments a bunch of delicacies were placed on it, and the armed men in the distance couldn't help but look at it, these foods were really tempting. Karim took the opportunity of the cloth to wink at Seryosha, who understood it and already knew it. When Seryosha's food was finished, Karim beckoned to his bodyguards, and soon the bodyguards prepared some food and drinks for the armed men.
Except for Seryosha's men, no one knew Karim, and everyone looked at Seryosha with envy, while Seryosha was gulping down food while watching the few armed men who were eating hotly.
The food brought by Karim was quickly swept away by Seryosha, and he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, which Karim lit for him. The cigarette Seryosha did not put to his mouth, but kept it in his hand and let it burn. Seryosha did this to estimate the time of the onset of poison hemryne, and the armed men had eaten and drunk enough to get up and get to work again. Seryosha's eyes were fixed on them all the time, and his only concern now was that Karim hadn't mixed enough poison into his food.
The cigarette gradually burned to the bottom, and Seryosha couldn't help but be a little anxious, he had already planned that if the poison hemlock didn't work, he would have to find an opportunity to fight the enemy. The cigarette suddenly burned Seryosha's fingers, Seryosha suddenly felt a pain, and at this moment one of the armed men suddenly began to vomit violently, and soon the whole person fell to the ground, and then began to convulse violently uncontrollably, followed by the second guard, the third guard...... In less than half a minute, all ten guards were knocked down by poison hemuse.
Everyone present had not yet reacted to what was going on, but at this moment, Seryosha suddenly stood up, slowly walked to the side of a guy who was twitching violently on the ground, and squatted down with a smile on the ground with great interest, he first looked this guy up and down for a while, and shook his finger in front of his eyes. The guy's eyes were wide open, and there was nothing but fear and helplessness in them, and Seryosha knew that physaxine had paralyzed his central nervous system, and this guy couldn't close his eyes anymore. Seryosha decided not to waste any more time, he raised his hands and pinched the guy's neck fiercely, the enemy's carotid artery beat regularly and transmitted to Seryosha's hand, so Seryosha added another strength, and gradually the carotid artery finally stopped beating, Seryosha picked up the gun that the guy dropped on the ground, beckoned to the stunned comrades, and then said:
"Brothers, we're going home!"
