Chapter Seventy-Seven: Saving People from Danger

Previous Chapter

The cunning little eyes of the sea quire, who was on the last horse, tapped around, and finally fixed his eyes on the gelding, and he raised his chin at the captain.

The captain of the cavalry understood what he meant, and waved his hand at several of the horsemen, who jumped off their horses and approached the shed with their guns in hand. All the Roman soldiers silently surrounded the castration and prepared for a sneak attack.

The first Roman cavalryman stabbed his bayonet into the shed and shouted: "Come out! ”

The rest of the Roman cavalry used bayonets to open the roof of the shed and found it empty.

Haikui looked around, and suddenly saw a shaking caused by a person running through the reeds. He shouted, "Run over there, chase!" ”

A dozen Roman soldiers opened a search line and swept through the reeds with bayonets.

The captain walked over and whispered to the officer, and several of them laughed. The captain took out a box of cigarettes, took out one and lit it, and casually distributed the cigarette to the Roman soldier next to him. The cavalry were firing at each other. The last Roman cavalryman lit a withered reed with a match.

The reeds ignited the flames, which caused a great fire, which grew stronger and stronger, and the cavalrymen laughed happily and began to light them with lighters. A gust of wind blew, and the fire burst into flames, choking on the smoke and coughing themselves.

The whole reed swing burned, and in a short time, the reed swing by the river had become a sea of fire, and the flames made a "whirring" sound in the wind, and the wind rolled in all directions with thick smoke.

The captain looked at his watch proudly, "Burn it for another ten minutes, hum, the royal family will either be burned to death, or they will obediently get out and surrender." ”

In the reeds in front of him, several figures finally appeared, one of them coughed violently, and then the king, who was covered in fire, walked out with his hands raised, "Don't burn, let's surrender." He said as he flapped the flames that were scurrying around his body.

Immediately after, more than a dozen royal families stood up from the reeds, and everyone's faces were full of horror and helplessness.

The Roman cavalry rushed forward and forced them into the air with bayonet guns, while the other soldiers surrounded the royal family in the middle.

The captain walked over and looked at the ragged and embarrassed Egyptians, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.

After laughing, the captain waved his hand and ordered: "Take them all away!" ”

The Roman cavalry, escorting more than 20 royal prisoners, came to the shore, where a large truck was waiting on the side of the road, and a soldier pointed at the truck with a bayonet, and the king got into the car first, and the others followed him into the car.

The captain jumped up the building and waved his hand to Haikui, "Thank you, I took the people away first." ”

The engines started, and the big trucks drove towards the city of Cairo with more than 20 prisoners.

"Click, click, click," a pair of military boots stepped on the bluestone pavement, making a mechanical and heavy footsteps. It turned out to be a Roman major, walking alone along the main road.

The major is of medium stature, with a straight waist and steady steps, and everywhere exudes the fortitude and majesty of a soldier. A square face, fair complexion, a pair of deep and bright eyes under two jet-black sword eyebrows, and a short mustache on angular lips.

A patrol of gendarmerie wearing red armbands approached, and the major did not squint, ignored it at all, and went straight ahead.

The gendarmerie patrol stopped, and one of the gendarmes stepped forward, saluted the major, and spoke Roman in his mouth.

The major knew what they were going to do, smiled slightly, took out a red-skinned military ID from his jacket pocket, and handed it over dismissively.

The Roman gendarme took the papers, compared them with the photo above, looked at the major's face, nodded, and let them go.

Another group of Roman devil soldiers ran past the major with incendiary sticks in their hands.

The major looked expressionlessly, walked a short distance, turned left on Zhongzheng Road, and turned into an alley called Fu Min Fang. Half of the houses in the alley were burning, and a burned-out beam collapsed from the roof, stirring up even greater heat waves and sparks.

The road is full of sandbag barricades. Countless corpses and smashed furniture littered the streets. Not far away, two Roman soldiers were chasing a middle-aged woman with a disheveled head, screaming and hiding in a courtyard. The Romans were in hot pursuit. Soon, the screams of women and the unbridled laughter of Roman devils were heard in the courtyard.

The major stopped, as if thinking about something. His hand slowly approached the holster, and his hand grasped the pistol at his waist, but when the gun was halfway drawn, his hand stopped. The Major's gaze was cold and hard, his brows were twisted into pimples, and his chest rose and fell violently, but after a while, his face slowly calmed down, and his body regained its calm and deterrent temperament.

The major continued on, through two blocks, and then through a stone archway, to a collapsed two-story building. The Major looked back the way he came, and there was not a single figure in the entire alley. The Major ran two steps and burrowed under a diagonally brace slab.

The Major removed a piece of rotten wood, revealing a black hole. The Major got inside, turned around and closed the rotten planks again.

"Miss Na, you're back, are you okay?" It was a young woman who spoke.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." The Major took off the tweed hat of the Roman army and took off the mustache with the upper lip, it turned out that she was a Lisa disguise, and she had disembarked in Alexandria with Richard that day, but was scattered by the crowd.

She said: "Today I went to the vicinity of the Great Middle Gate, just in time for the large army of Roman devils to enter the city, and the streets were full of Roman military vehicles and artillery wagons. It seems that Cairo has completely fallen. Many of the Egyptians surrendered, and their weapons and ammunition were thrown all over the streets, but the Romans went on a killing spree and slaughtered the Egyptians desperately, and I felt sorry for them. ”

After a pause, she added, "There are dead bodies all over the ground, many houses have been burned, women have been raped, and I don't think we can get out." ”

This is a small air-raid shelter, more than three meters underground, and the roof is covered with a few bamboo mats, which is not bomb-proof at all. It is only five or six square meters in size, and it looks like a temporary bomb shelter dug by the residents to protect against the air raids of the Roman army. There was no lighting inside, not even a candle, it was very damp and gloomy, and the walls were dark on all sides.

By the glimmer of light through the cracks in the canopy, she opened a cloth bag and said to her sister-in-law, "This is what I found in a bombed-out restaurant, and I have not found any food or water. ”

The sister-in-law took the pickle pimple, swallowed the spit that had already dried up, and just opened her mouth full of blood blisters, but tears flowed down, "Cough, Miss, I dragged you down, my pregnant body is not angry, it's a big burden, **annoying, I hate myself to death." The woman tugged at her hair and began to cry.

Lisa tried to comfort her, but she didn't know how to say it.

This sister-in-law, who she rescued on the street, was five or six months pregnant, had a big belly, and had difficulty moving, so she had to take her sister-in-law into an underground bunker, because the Roman devils bombed and destroyed all the public buildings in the city, including hospitals, schools and houses, and killed and injured patients, students and civilians.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry, I can't blame anyone about pregnancy, it's all a coincidence, if it weren't for the Roman devils coming too fast, where would this be the situation. Right? Come on, eat some first, you haven't eaten a grain of rice for two days. "Take Lisa to comfort your sister-in-law vigorously." If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly. ”

can be persuaded to persuade, but the sister-in-law just cried vigorously and didn't eat a mouthful.

Na Lisa suddenly felt a cramping pain in her stomach and a little dizzy, maybe she was hungry. For the past two days, not only did she not eat a grain of rice, but she also ran around outside, looking for food, water, and candles under the noses of the Romans, but she could not find anything.

The city had been burned, smashed and looted by the Romans.

But she knows that she has to find some water to come back tomorrow no matter what, otherwise, her sister-in-law's body may be troubled. In fact, she found several wells today, but they were all thrown into the corpses of civilians by Roman devils, and the water was not drinkable at all. The water in the pond by the roadside was blood-red. The water pipes are no longer passable, probably because the waterworks were blown up by Roman devils. Where can I find water, water, water, water! She was deeply confused.

Early morning was the last chance to cover up the night's sins, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke and choking blood was a reminder of the atrocities of the previous night. The smoke blurs the distinction between people and things, making their behavior even more bizarre.

Richard wore the Roman captain's uniform, carried a sniper rifle on his back, and walked down the middle road with great care. Several Roman devil patrols passed by him, ignoring him. With the rest of his eyes, he watched the Roman devil's every move with vigilance.

There were many solitary Roman devils in the streets, and one guy swaggered along with something looted from the dwellings on his back. Another Roman devil drank as he walked, and when he was drunk, he collapsed on the side of the road, lying on his back, and no one paid any attention to him. There was a Roman devil who was a wounded soldier, with bandages on his feet, limping around on crutches.

Richard spent the last night hiding in the driver's building of a bombed-out truck, and he gave himself two tasks today, one was to find food and water, and the other was to go to the house in front of him to have a look.

He mimicked the expressions and movements of the solitary Roman devil and continued to walk in disguise. But he knew that it would be risky, because he did not have an officer ID, and if he ran into a gendarmerie to check his documents, it would be a life-and-death encounter.

He didn't want to think too much and moved forward boldly. After crossing two streets, he came to Xinjiekou, and the street he was looking for was to the east. Turning east across the small stone bridge, there is Qingshi Street, where there is a residential compound where more than a dozen families live.

Hopefully, the family went to the safe zone and the family was safe, Richard prayed in his heart and cautiously walked through the door. There were several corpses of civilians lying on the ground, apparently shot by Roman devils.
