Chapter 29: The Voice of the Heart

The next day, Licorice and John left the area, leaving only two snipers to slowly pick up the remaining lucky ones, while Licorice and the others went to find other Resistance strongholds. However, from the fifth day onwards, there was no more sniper action against the Resistance strongholds, and all the discovered strongholds were blocked and fired by the snipers, and the Resistance suffered heavy casualties, and it had become a situation of scattering in groups of three or four people in the forest to flee for their lives. And this is precisely the sniper's favorite situation, because what they are good at after all is only a few targets sniping, not dozens or hundreds of people fighting, although with the ability of long-range sniping to kill a lot of resistance, but after all, they are not stormers, there are two strongholds Snipers have no choice but to take it at all, they can only defend it from a distance, trapping the resistance in the stronghold, and the enemy in the stronghold has no way, of course, this situation is very simple to deal with, Just call the two infantry regiments stationed outside to attack the fortification, while the snipers began to scatter in the deep mountains to hunt their targets one by one.

The sun gradually rose, and the warm sunlight shone on the earth, gradually dispelling the misty morning mist, and in the crisp and melodious birdsong, a little dew on the verdant leaves slid down and dripped onto a grass, bending the grass down, and then gathering more dew, dripping into the murmuring brook next to it, splashing and the ripples disappeared. Suddenly, four hurried embarrassed figures broke this beautiful natural scenery, they ran from the forest with rifles, all the way to the stream, the four looked flustered, frightened, but they had not rested for a long time, and hunger was unbearable, now they saw a gurgling stream in front of them, their expressions were surprised, they couldn't care too much, three of them knelt directly beside the stream, threw the rifle aside, and drank the clear stream water directly with their hands, only one middle-aged man did not have any intention of relaxing his vigilance, still holding a gun, constantly looking around, looking for possible threats for his teammates.

On the other side of the stream, in a weed, Licorice quietly looked at the four people who appeared in front of her, reached out and gently shook John who was taking a nap next to her. John woke up from sleep, gradually opened his closed eyes, looked at the licorice that woke him up, licorice moved his fingers, and made a gesture to John, John nodded to show understanding, and then turned his head to look at the four people by the stream, and put up the gun that had been placed on the ground in front of him, licorice also made the same action, the two of them held the gun, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the four people who had just appeared, and at the moment when the middle-aged man turned around with the gun and looked in other directions, there was no words or hesitation, "Bang!" The gunshot rang out, the sound continued to echo in the forest, flocks of birds were scattered in all directions, the middle-aged man who had been looking around vigilantly fell to the ground, and at the same time fell a young man who was kneeling by the stream, he was accurately hit in the heart, without any superfluous movements, he fell headlong on the stream, and the blood flowing from the wound in the chest directly dyed the stream red.

The other two young men with dirty faces heard the sound of gunfire like the smile of death that had been echoing in the forest for the past few days, and their faces were full of horror, one of them was panicked and could not stand up at all, and fell to the ground with his hands and feet, constantly crawling, and the other young man who was still kneeling in front of the stream had disappeared at some point, looking at the stream in front of him stained red by the blood of his companions and the flocks of "dead" birds flying in the sky, Gradually, there was only relief and relief in his eyes, and finally he didn't have to play the game with the Grim Reaper anymore, because I had already lost.

"Bang!" Three seconds later, a merciless gunshot rang out, his head was directly pierced, and he fell headlong into the stream, and the young man who was crawling on the ground had already fallen to the ground at the same time as the gunshot, and there was no movement, the gurgling blood continued to flow, and the stream seemed to be getting redder and redder.

Licorice and John, who had bagged these four achievements, lay on their stomachs and waited for a while, and when they saw that there was no other movement, they slowly got up and walked here to check the results.

"John, how many days is it today?" Licorice asked as she shoved the chocolate into her mouth.

"In two days, it should be half a month as agreed, and I think we should go back." John glanced at the corpses a few times, and when he saw that they had no chance of surviving, he stopped paying attention, let alone rummaging around them.

"That's right, it's time for us to go back, I'm running out of chocolates, it's really painful, I really hope that this kind of task will happen more often in the future, and the supplies are optional, how good, I can get a few more boxes, haha!" Licorice fantasized about a happy life in the future.

"I heard that you are also a small family, why did you join the army? Wouldn't it be best for you to open your own chocolate workshop? John asked curiously as he walked upstream, washing his face with the clean, clear water.

"Because there's a bastard who asked me to join the army! What about you? And why did you join the army? Licorice pouted.

"You mean the Führer? I agree with you, he's a jerk! It was he who gave Germany a new lease of life, it was he who gave hope to the German people, and I admired him immensely, but I felt that he was really a bastard, because he once again provoked the war, once again let the flames of war burn, and once again allowed innocent children to step onto the front line and go to the battlefield. I've never met my father..... According to my mother, after she became pregnant with me, my father responded to the call of the great motherland and went to the front, and that was twenty-two years ago, and since then, he has never returned, only a medal. I hate war! It's very annoying. John whispered as he touched an iron cross hanging from his neck with one hand, and Licorice listened silently.

"I hate war, but I also deeply understand how a strong or weak motherland can bring us changes, although I don't know if you have ever felt it personally, but I have a deep understanding that the matter of buying a piece of bread for a billion marks is really happening in front of my eyes! At that time, my mother worked hard every day, but often the salary she had just received was enough for our family to eat for a month, but the next day, it became waste paper. The rich man, with us, bought a piece of bread with more than a billion marks, and I still remember clearly the eyes of the people around me, it was numbness to life and the future, they no longer felt hope, and my mother was also desperate, she could not earn a fraction of this money in her life, but now she could only buy a piece of bread, and the person who sold the bread did not have any joy at selling a piece of bread for a sky-high price, because the pile of marks could only be burned as firewood, and it was not even as resistant to burning as I went to chop a few firewoods. All this is because our motherland is a loser, a weak motherland, which has given me an extremely painful experience, and according to my mother's recollections, we were once extremely strong and lived so happily, so at the call of that hateful Führer, I also joined the army, not for the Führer, but only for my Motherland to become strong again. John spoke softly.

"Don't worry, we're invincible!" Licorice said with a smile, although he knew that John misunderstood the person he said, but Licorice still agreed and was moved by John's belief.

"Yes, we are invincible!" John nodded.

Over the next two days, Licorice and John rushed back, only once on the way, and only one of the lucky ones who survived, Licorice gave up his battle to John, and then the two returned to the barracks temporarily stationed at the foot of the mountain.
