Chapter 354: The Radiance of Life
The entire battlefield was filled with a strange scorching stench, and there were clouds of smoke in hundreds of places. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
On the ground, more than a thousand horses were rushing, and cavalrymen with almost crazy expressions were swinging their swords to kill the civilians who were scattered and fleeing. Some of the more powerful cavalrymen also picked up the corpses with their guns, laughing maniacally as they ran to new targets. The sword and shield soldiers on foot were also slashing frantically, completely ignoring whether the target was men, women, and children. Some people even lit the fleeing civilians with torches, and watched the horrible tragedy in a morbid manner.
Farther away, some cavalrymen dragged the victims with ropes, as if playing as a game.
The nearby tree was full of people hanging from it.
Mournful screams came from the burning house...... None of those killed were fighters, all were terrified civilians. What's even more terrifying is that the rebels with butcher knives are still driving away, playing a game of cat and mouse, while driving these civilians to a certain place.
Burning houses, burning farmland, burning refugees.
Wild laughter.
Screams.
Crying out.
It's a hell of reality!
Looking at the frightened crowd of people who were beheaded or hanged, obviously holding modern weapons and submachine guns in their hands, the soldiers still had a feeling of chills all over their bodies. It's not a fear of force, it's a fear of humanity. Everyone can't imagine that this is actually something that human beings do to their own kind. Think about it, is there a second animal in the world that treats its own kind more cruelly?
"Save people." Professor Ye was the first to shout, as a scholar, he would never be used to this kind of thing.
"We're afraid we're going to have to shoot......"
"Open it! Save people first, and don't care about anything else. That group is not a human at all, it is simply not as good as animals. Professor Ye was half shocked, half angry, and his whole body was trembling. As a daughter, Ye Xiangjun didn't dare to watch it for a long time, so she ran to the side and retched.
At this time.
The madness on the ground also stopped. Everyone was stunned when they saw a huge island larger than a city appear in the air. The civilians who were in distress immediately fell to their knees and knocked hard with blood, praying for the help of the heavenly immortals. At this time, the rebels also stopped, and looked at the huge island that suddenly appeared in the sky with a little uneasiness.
However, there are also some red-eyed madmen yelling at the Sky Island Ark.
Carrying the head.
The knife points to the sky.
There is a kind of madness on his face that Lao Tzu can kill immortals and gods.
By this time, the helicopters had all taken off. The soldiers sent by Gaia Star are not rookies, and none of them are slow. What's more, this situation does not allow them to slow down, although the rebel army has stopped, those fires are still burning, and those wounded are still struggling. The swarm flew up, and the snipers were the first to aim for some of the madmen who were still slashing and slashing in the air, and quickly shot them in the head.
More than a dozen gunshots rang out, and when they saw the 'heavenly soldiers' flying out of the sky, the chaotic army also panicked.
Seeing that some of their subordinates were shot, the leaders summoned up the greatest courage and shouted.
"Shoot the arrows."
Sparse bows and arrows were fired, and as a result, they did not work at all against modern military helicopters.
The ground-to-air shooting, let alone the soldiers, did not even scratch the paint.
"You're welcome, drive them away." Xia Lijun gave the order on his behalf, and the soldiers could understand it when they heard it: This means that if they can't run away, they will be killed. They are more willing to save the poor civilians than this group of bloody rebels. If you hesitate to sacrifice more, you will be sprayed to death by the people when you go back to Gaia.
The helicopter opened fire, and in an instant it turned into an absolute crush.
This kind of firepower is definitely at the level of 'shredding', and even people and horses can be shattered.
When the leaders of the rebel army saw this kind of invincible heavenly soldier, they did not care about the order at all, and they took the lead in fleeing in panic. It's a pity that snipers who have a heart to attack have already noticed them. No matter how fast the galloping horse is, it can compare to a helicopter or a sniper rifle.
Quickly 'drove away' the rebels.
The soldiers landed on the ground again to calm the panicked prostrated civilians.
The two sides do not speak the same language.
The impact is not big, you will know to gather when you wave your hand, and you will know to keep up with it with a wave of your hand. Except for a few people who were afraid of this strange celestial soldier with uniform clothing, most of them cried and followed. In their opinion, it is not known whether this heavenly soldier is good or evil, but the chaotic army just now must be evil.
Above the Sky Island Ark.
Tang Shidao was watching quietly, and found that this time there was no knowledge transmission that also nourished the Wisdom Tree.
Perhaps it was the soldiers of Gaia who gave courage.
Perhaps it was these civilians who developed faith.
Perhaps it was the soldiers who taught them self-preservation and resistance.
In short, the Tree of Wisdom has grown. It feels like this growth rate is no slower than the spread of knowledge. But it has another limitation: when the soldiers gather the wounded and rescue the civilians from the fire, they bury all the hanged, hacked, burned, and other victims to prevent the plague. In the end, the soldiers didn't know what else to do.
Academics are also wondering what else they can do. At this moment, Tang Shidao immediately felt that the growth of the Wisdom Tree had slowed down.
"There's still someone in the east, go quickly." The helicopter patrol reported, and the soldiers moved quickly again.
Meanwhile.
The civilians who were killed began to deal with small matters on their own, and most of them were still crying loudly.
"Senior Brother Tang, can you help them ......"
"Yes." Tang Shidao interrupted Ye Xiangjun's speech, and said, "I have the ability to do it, but it's just a matter of not being able to do it." Senior Sister Ye, Professor Ye, you don't have to look at me like this. Before you want me to intervene, let me ask a question: In your minds, Captain Xia Li and the soldiers just now killed the bad guys and saved the civilians, right? ”
"Hmm." Ye Xiangjun nodded, including the audience who watched the broadcast.
"Then let me ask, are you aliens?"
"Don ......"
"I came to Gaia, I'm an alien. Now you have come to this slave society planet with guns and cannons, and you have killed the local people, are you aliens? Tang Shidao said lightly, but the people who heard it were dumbfounded. This question is not complicated, and there is only one answer: yes.
But.
There is another problem behind this question.
If aliens come to Gaia one day, kill some 'bad guys' at random and save some civilians, do they do the same thing as themselves? Are the aliens who are killing on Gaia a planet a well-intentioned savior?
"We're aliens." Professor Yip responded. A scholar is not a politician, he does not lie.
"Professor Ye, do you think you're doing the right thing?"
"Yes."
"Well, I don't have an opinion." Tang Shidao suddenly remembered the scarecrow, and at this moment he felt the same as it, and found that there were many things that were not good or evil: "Let me ask again, if this is an interstellar civilization, and you see a group of armored soldiers chasing and killing civilians, do you still dare to shoot against it and save those civilians?" ”
When asked this, everyone was silent.
Professor Ye opened his mouth, but finally did not speak. He dared, but he also knew: the nations of Gaia would not dare to give such an order. Shooting an armored soldier of an interstellar civilization is tantamount to declaring war on an interstellar civilization. So no matter how angry you are, the end result must be patience.
"Hey, it seems to be happening." Tang Shidao suddenly frowned.
Signal the shadow of the next life.
With a wave of his hand.
The people of the Sky Island Ark teleported to the ground in the distance. At this time, Xia Lijun and the others had already defeated the chaotic army, and next to them were a group of ragged refugees. Strangely, there is a man who is standing on the 'opposite' of the soldiers who are kind to the rescue.
A woman.
She held a rusty kitchen knife in her right hand and pointed at Xia Lijun and the others, and held the child in her left hand...... No, it should be said, she was holding the child in her other stump arm. Because her left hand was cut off by her wrist, and the palm of her hand was biting her mouth. There is also a child behind her, a child with only bones left....
Xia Lijun and others shouted desperately, indicating that there was no malice.
No, even if the refugees who spoke the same language persuaded her, she turned her knife and signaled to anyone not to approach.
I saw Tang Shidao and the others teleporting over.
Especially seeing the two 'ghost' shadows of the shadow of the previous life and the shadow of the next life, all the refugees were frightened, kneeling on the ground and prostrating or running away in panic. However, the woman with the rusty kitchen knife was not afraid. In her eyes, everyone is an enemy, and she is not afraid even when she sees Tang Shidao who summons the 'ghost'.
Tang Shidao could see that she was not because she was bold, but because she wanted to protect the child in her arms.
That feeling has transcended fear.
At this moment, Tang Shidao saw the crazy growth of the wisdom tree, and thought to himself that if the wisdom tree could bloom, I am afraid that it would be full of flowers.
At this time, Xia Lijun came over and said with a headache: "Mr. Tang, you can understand their words, can you tell her that we are not enemies, we just want to help her." Her hand is broken, and more than blood will be dangerous. Also, if the child hugs too tightly, something will happen. Now that there are no enemies, let her put down her knife in peace. ”
"Captain Xia, what you see with your eyes is not everything." Tang Shidao looked at the woman who was talking about his broken hand, holding the baby in his arms, and pointing at everyone, and couldn't help but admire a little.
"What do you mean? Senior Brother Tang, we have no malicious intent. Ye Xiangjun asked.
She also cares about this woman who protects her son.
Tang Shidao said calmly: "I heard those refugees shouting just now. Her name is Lin Wan, and she sounds like the widow of a soldier killed in battle. First of all, it is explained that those people are civilians who have been expelled by the rebel army, and are going to be used as cannon fodder for the siege of the city. Moreover, Lin Wan had two sons, and the bones on her back were one of them. Do you know why she doesn't trust you? Because you saved the refugees, and her son, who had only the bones left, was eaten by a few refugees. ”
Hearing this, all the soldiers turned blue.
Moment.
Everyone understood why the woman was pointing a knife at everyone.
She didn't trust anyone at all.
She is desperately trying to protect her son, even if she sees flying heavenly soldiers, she sees weapons that spit flames, and she sees strange people with 'ghosts'...... Nor was she afraid. It felt like she had no feelings left except for the motherly love to protect her son.
Now she is more like a living ghost.
The soldiers of Gaia looked at those refugees and couldn't help but feel that this group of people was not so worthy of saving.
Maybe it's just a very small number of people doing it.
Maybe it's because I'm hungry.
In short, sympathy for the whole group of people has disappeared in an instant.
"Senior Brother Tang, you ......"
"Well, I'll help her." Tang Shidao signaled, and the package behind Lin Wan immediately flew up and landed in front of the shadow of the next world. At this time, Lin Wan seemed to be crazy and pounced with a kitchen knife. But in the next second, she saw the cloth bag open automatically, a burst of light flashed, and a three- or four-year-old child was instantly reborn.
Lin Wan was stunned, and immediately wowed again, threw down the knife, and rushed over to hug the boy tightly.
"There are many ordinary and mediocre people in every race, not because of the amount of knowledge, nor because of the level of status, nor because of the strength or weakness. This Lin Wan was originally an ordinary person, but at this moment she was able to produce her own light. As Tang Shidao spoke, Lin Wan healed her left hand again.
Relative.
She has become extremely weak when she regains her hands and cries with joy, and she is no longer the warrior like the 'ghost mother' before. Everyone also knows that if anyone attacks her son again, she will still turn into a demon.
"It's not power or knowledge, but it's the most beautiful splendor of life." Tang Shidao also had a hint of insight.
Strong, not necessarily because of strength.
