Chapter 787: Blasphemy
Simon and others sent old Harris as a negotiating envoy, but they did not have any explanations and instructions, let alone any authorization, only said that they brought radio contact, and even the so-called guards were a few miscellaneous soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info such means are clearly using people as cannon fodder, and they don't expect to get any actual results at all.
When old Harris walked out of the very town hall, he was extremely resentful and depressed. He hated to be a leader in bringing the mutants from Washington and killing the waste leaders one by one.
But waiting to be blown by the cold wind outside, old Harris regained some sanity in his heart. He knew that if he really brought mutants into Philadelphia, hundreds of thousands of innocent residents here would suffer.
Everyone in Philadelphia has gone through a lot of hardships and is forced to return to the city that was destroyed by the nuclear bomb. If he dies because of old Harris's personal vendetta, even God will not forgive such a crime, and he will definitely go to hell.
"If I bring in mutants, what is it? Mole? Scum? Rape? Old Harris retained the last shred of his sanity and limits, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that I can only save my son by myself.
Without any rest, the tired old Harris led the team to Washington again. Knowing that he was going to the territory of the mutants, the guards assigned to him fled in the blink of an eye, and no one would follow him to his death. In the end, he had to go on the road alone overnight.
Driving an off-road motorcycle at night, the cold wind poured into his neck like a knife, but old Harris could only grit his teeth and insist. The headlights illuminate the road, the wind howls, and only the engine of the rumbling motorcycle roars in the sky.
But suddenly, several humanoid guys suddenly appeared on the road, and the two sides almost collided under the glare of the headlights. As soon as Harris Sr. twisted the front of the car, the car overturned and fell to the ground, and he immediately drew his gun and shouted when he fell to the ground.
Nine times out of ten, those who walk on the road in the middle of the night are hungry mutant humans, and if they are not careful, they will die on the way. Old Harris still has to save his son, but he doesn't want to die.
"Hands up."
After shouting, old Harris used the afterglow of the motorcycle headlights to see a panicked family of three opposite. You can tell from the faces that these are normal humans, and you can tell by listening to the sound that they are basically harmless.
After a confrontation between the two sides, the atmosphere eased somewhat, and old Harris scolded: "Are you crazy? Acting in the wild in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of being eaten by mutants? ”
The man in the opposite family protected his wife and children, and said helplessly: "We heard that there is a shelter in Baltimore, and they have a good relationship with mutants and are willing to help contain a group of people. ”
", I've never seen anyone who can have a good relationship with mutants, it's good if they don't eat humans." Old Harris couldn't imagine such an argument, otherwise how could he be running back and forth on the road in a hurry? Rumors of mutant ferocity are deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"A friend of mine has gone and he said it's true." The man on the other side wasn't sure, "Of course this may be a trap, but I'll just try my luck." Our family hadn't eaten for three days, and I wasn't even sure if I could make it to Baltimore. ”
Listening to the voice, I also knew that the family of three on the other side was very weak, and there was no way to dodge when they just touched the motorcycle, so it was conceivable that they didn't have much strength at all.
"I understand you, although the hope is very small, you can only try it with your own life. Actually, I'm the same, I'm going to mutant territory, and I want mutants to be friendly. ”
Old Harris's tone also became extremely low, he took a piece of jerky from his body and tore it in half and handed it over, "I'm not sure if I'll survive after dawn, this is the only help I can give you." ”
The man across from him was crying and taking the jerky, shouting thank God all the time, while Harris Sr. picked up his motorcycle and hit the road again. As the distance continued, he found that there were still many people on this night road, and when he asked, they were all gambling on their lives.
"The news came out five days ago, so we'll have to try our luck."
"We have no choice, if we don't go, we will definitely die, and if we go, we may die."
"We really need to be helped, we really need it."
Harris Sr. met more and more people along the way, all walking towards Baltimore like walking corpses. These people are dumbfounded, and only the instinct to survive drives them to act.
Some people even fell to the ground because their bodies were too weak, and they couldn't get up after a plop. Some people sat beside the corpses of their loved ones and wept halfway, while others were stunned for a while and continued to walk forward.
It's a long road to death, but it's also a painful road to survival.
Watching people go all the way and die all the way, the elder Harris broke down emotionally, howling and crying as he drove. He was really worried that his son would die for some reason, and he kept calling out the name of God and cheering up his spirits.
"Jehovah, do not turn away from me."
"You are my strength, please help me."
"You are my guardian and my only dependence."
Old Harris read as if he saw a little light in the night, the light turned out to be bigger and bigger, more and more dazzling, making people's hearts with a warmth, as if a tall angel fell from the sky, but why is this angel ......, why is it so ugly? Why is it so much like a mutant?!
Ah......, it's really a mutant!
With a snort, the off-road motorcycle slammed on the road, and Harris Sr. noticed that a containment camp with a high-wattage bright light suddenly appeared at the intersection. Hundreds of bitter refugees gathered inside the camp, and under the light at the entrance of the camp, there was a heavily armed mutant.
Old Harris looked at the mutant coldly, and the mutant also looked at him stunned. After a few seconds, he remembered his identity and shouted, "I'm the negotiator of the New Jersey Brotherhood of Steel, I'm here, you can't kill any more hostages." ”
shouted several times, but the mutant warrior on the other side did not react, but stared at old Harris with a pair of bull's eyes, as if thinking about what this stupid * crit wanted to do?
After a while, a man dressed as a priest ran out of the camp and shouted, "Those who need help should come in quickly." We have prepared the food and kept you safe. ”
After shouting, old Harris heard a hula behind him and suddenly remembered the dense and noisy footsteps. A bunch of people came out of the shadows of the road behind him.
"Wow...... there's a shelter camp here."
"God, this mutant is so scary, I'm too scared to come close."
"I don't care anymore, even if you want to eat me, let me eat when I'm full."
The number of people who poured out was probably more than a hundred, and everyone rushed into the camp after making sure that old Harris had not been eaten. But the old Harris who was in front of him was left to dry.
"I ......, I am the messenger." Old Harris looked at the mutant warrior and wanted to emphasize that he was special.
The priest who ran out hurriedly stepped forward and pulled old Harris closer to the camp, and kept nagging, "Don't be afraid, mutants won't cause trouble when they're full." Of course, provided you don't provoke them by looking for death. ”
"Are there really humans who have a good relationship with mutants?" Harris Sr. felt that his three views had been greatly impacted.
The priest immediately said: "God says that mutants are also human beings, and that we should understand each other and be considerate of each other. ”
What......, when did God say this? Old Harris had an expression of 'I don't read much, don't lie to me'.
Of course, the priest himself was not too sure about this, and he added: "This is what our Legion Commander said, and we should always believe the Legion Commander, right?" ”
Blasphemy in the name of God! (To be continued.) )
