"Bang Bang"

The constant sound of machine guns running through the towns of the heart of Europe, the smell of gunsmoke, the smell of blood, and the smell of death mixed together, making this originally obscure town so hideous, it was like a real hell.

No one knows why the situation suddenly became worse, as if as soon as they fell asleep, the world changed, there were flying beasts howling in the sky, and even legendary monsters rushed into the city to wreak havoc, and everyone fled aimlessly, and at the worst of panic, the messengers of the gods descended from heaven and announced to them that the believers would be protected.

Therefore, the dispensable faith became the last straw in an instant, and many people who were not strong-willed immediately became loyal followers of a certain faith, and were taken to a city that was safe but had been out of the normal order, where it is said that they regained security and lived a very happy life.

In the war era, this is the most happy pursuit.

And Joanna, who fled with the Shilei family, wanted to rush into those churches of any god more than once, and take her newborn son to enjoy a stable life, but every time she stood at the door of the church, Joanna hesitated and finally turned away.

Not because of how determined the 19-year-old girl was, but because she remembered everything her boyfriend had been missing for days had told her.

"Don't believe in those gods... Don't indulge in false beliefs, they are not the kind of benevolent gods you believe in... They're just a bunch of despicable liars, and there, you won't get anything!"

Joanna's story is actually not complicated.

As a girl born in Santorini, everything about her is very ordinary, she is not very beautiful, and her figure is not extremely perfect, but she has a unique pair of turquoise eyes, which makes the girl who works as a waitress in a bar quickly hand over good luck, and in a chance encounter, she becomes the mistress of an old man.

It was a mysterious old man, who looked to be in his 70s, but his energy was no different from that of a 20-year-old young man, and what attracted Joanna the most was the unique temperament of this old man, as if he had crossed a long time, leaving behind the loneliness of being independent of the world, which made the sensual Joanna quickly fall.

The warm affection made her even willing to give birth to a child for the old man, and she thought she was crazy for a while, because she didn't know her boyfriend's name until the moment the child was born.

"My name is Carter Sleigh, remember the name... My little Joanna. ”

She will never forget the blue flames that surged on the old man's body when he was holding the baby, and at that moment, she knew that her boyfriend was really not simple.

But happy days were short-lived, and Carter Shray left her after this world change.

"I'm going to find someone, Joanna. ”

At the moment when Santorini was occupied by sea monsters, old Carter held his son in his arms, and took her to a leisurely stroll on the battlefield ravaged by fish-man monsters.

"I'm going to use what I've treasured to buy you and my son a doomed bright future in the new world... Protect yourself before they come... Protect my son, no matter how much suffering, keep going, Joanna... Soon, you will find that this persistence will bring you rewards that you can never imagine. ”

This is Carter Shray's last words to her before leaving, and then he disappeared completely, as if at the moment he disappeared, the world also became chaotic, Joanna followed Shray's family, she originally thought it was Shray's descendant, but the day before yesterday in the conversation with the old patriarch, Joanna knew that her old boyfriend was a "knight" who had lived for 200 years.

This made this girl who was not firm cherish the advice left by Shi Lei even more.

But now, they are trapped in this crossfire town, where the Sicilian Crusaders and the Tuscan believers have fought a terrible war, they accuse each other of heresy, there is no negotiation, there is no communication, tens of thousands of people are armed with weapons, and a frenzied battle begins.

"Bang"

The woman next to Joanna was hit by a bullet in a panicked transfer, leaving blood in her heart, she rolled on the ground in pain, but no one was willing to help her, the girl holding the child looked at the woman's desperate eyes, she burst into tears, and finally could only say sorry in her heart, and then followed the others to try to escape from this battlefield.

Death... Never been so close to her!

Outside the window, those crazy cultists screaming fanatical dogmas that Joanna did not understand, armed with automatic rifles, some even with bombs all over their bodies, brave like the most well-trained soldiers, however, before the disaster, they may have been gentle teachers, probably local decent people, faith... This ethereal thing, at this moment, completely changed the world.

Make it crazy, make it bad, make it so cold.

"Arrest them!"

The field chiefs of the Sicilian crusaders soon discovered the refugees who were struggling to hide on the battlefield, and this man, who was originally a major in the Italian army, commanded his elite "knights" and shouted:

"Arrest those who have no faith, give them weapons, and let them go to battle! Dying in the holy war is their best fate!"

Soon, the heavily armed soldiers surrounded Joanna and the people around them, and they brutally smashed the old people who tried to resist with the butts of their guns, and the etiquette developed by human civilization was not reflected in them at all, as if in an instant, they were back in the barbaric era when they were once armed with long swords.

A rude fellow saw the sleeping baby in Joanna's arms, and with a cruel smile on his face, he strode over, threw out the bayonet from his weapon with a thud, and raised it high.

"Take your little bastard to death, you pathetic unbeliever, your soul will be tormented in the fire of hell!"

Seeing the bayonet that shone with a cruel light raised, Joanna sat down on her knees limp and cried out in despair, holding the child in her arms:

"No... Carter, where are you?!"

This scream not only did not arouse the pity of the soldier in front of him, but only made the fierce light on his face even worse, but at the moment when the bayonet was about to stab down, a huge black shadow enveloped the fierce town in an instant.

The rude soldier looked up in astonishment, and saw a huge silver-gray spaceship standing in the sky, it emitted a cold glow, completely blocking out the sunlight, and under this obviously modified battleship, hundreds of hideous rapid-fire guns had adjusted their direction.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The fire of destruction fell from the sky, and it took less than 3 seconds to completely bury the town and the thousands of people fighting inside, in the flames, the blue pillars of light shone brightly, and a heavily armed, uniformed black uniform of soldiers stood on the periphery of the Sicilian crusader headquarters, in front of this sudden army, the indifferent commander raised his left hand, and then fell suddenly.

"Bang Bang Bang"

After a volley, all the fanatics with weapons present fell in a pool of blood, the rude soldier looked at the tearing wound in his chest, the strength of his whole body surged out at this moment, he fell to the ground weakly, and then fell into a pool of blood, Joanna still had blood on her face, but when she looked up, she saw the dead soldier, his stunned gaze met Joanna's gaze, so that the latter was frightened, and stood up with the child in his arms.

"You're Joanna? Joanna Evans?"

The killing of the strange troops made all the refugees present silent, they did not know what these soldiers would do to them, and the commander who had given the order to kill stepped forward and stood beside Joanna, he took a picture and compared it repeatedly, and then asked:

"You are the widow of Mr. Carter Shray?"

"Widow?"

A touch of sadness jumped in Joanna's green eyes, which quickly overwhelmed her whole body, tears stained her face, she knew that these people in front of her were the future that her old boyfriend had promised her... And the price is his life.

The deepest love is nothing more than that.

"The baby in your arms is in the blood of Mr. Carter Shray, right?"

The commander looked at the baby who could sleep peacefully in the battle-torn battlefield, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, Joanna wiped her tears and hugged her son tighter:

"His name is Carter Shray, and the elder Serrey himself gave him the name. ”

"Good!"

The commander in front of him breathed a sigh of relief, and he whispered:

"I'm Major Beckett of the Third Legion of Utopia, and I've been ordered to pick you and the overlord's godson back to Utopia, come with me. ”

"Overlord? Utopia?"

Joanna paused for a moment, and she subconsciously asked, "What's that?"

"That is the last hope of human civilization..."

Major Beckett replied briefly, and he reached out to hold the child, but Joanna took a step back vigilantly, which made the Major a little embarrassed, and he shook his head:

"Don't worry, this child's identity has already determined that no one in this world dares to hurt him!"

"Puff"

Joanna was still stunned, and the old man beside her had already knelt at Joanna's feet, and pleaded with him:

"Save us, take us with us, there is no place for us in this land full of war. ”

Joanna was a little overwhelmed by this sudden call for help, she was only a 19-year-old girl, she subconsciously turned her gaze for help to Major Beckett, who shook his finger, and the soldier behind him stepped forward and placed a piece of paper in front of the old man's eyes:

"Read!"

The old man glanced at the paper, which was full of blasphemous words, and it was impossible for any believer to pronounce it, but it was obviously no pressure for an unbeliever, and he read it at a rapid pace, and then was guided by the soldiers to stand in the safe zone, and behind him, the refugees read it out one by one.

Of course, there are those who don't want to read, then there is no way.

15 minutes later, in the official residence of the Mexican capital, Joanna, who had changed her clothes, held little Carter and walked into the deepest office of the mansion under the leadership of Beckett.

"General Lewis! Task Force 7 has completed its mission! Mr. Carter Shray's widow and the overlord's godson have been brought back!"

"Good!"

The middle-aged man in a wheelchair and in a military uniform beckoned to Joanna, a general who had been thoroughly washed away from the tempering of the war and had become more like a qualified warrior, whispered:

"Come, little girl, let me see this child. ”

Joanna was a little scared, which was normal, she had never encountered such a situation in the first 19 years of her life, but out of trust in these life-savers, she carefully placed little Carter, who was still sleeping, in Lewis's arms.

Lewis looked at the child in his arms, his eyes dancing with dark green flames, and after a subtle discernment, he kissed little Carter lightly on the forehead:

"This kid's future achievements are destined to be extraordinary, and the will of old Carter will be rekindled in him, and perhaps he will become the next knight. ”

He held the child in his arms, looked up, and looked at Joanna:

"I know you have a lot of questions, girl, and I know you're suspicious of us, it's normal... But in today's world, we have to keep you and this child safe in a coercive way, you and little Carter will be sent to a utopia, where little Carter will grow up with his sister, and the same there, you will learn about the life of old Carter, all I can say... Your husband is a hero who has made unimaginable contributions to the survival of human civilization. ”

"But I'd rather he was alive... Instead of dying as heroes, leaving me and Carter Jr. alone in this raging world struggling to survive, I don't want him to be a hero..."

Facing Joanna in tears, Lewis sighed:

"You've lost so much, and so have we... But the firewood of the world has been ignited, and there is really not much more we can do than fight and live hard. ”
