Tang Shuxing and Ruben walked out of the alley, followed the example of the soldiers of the Shangdu Wehrmacht, walked side by side with guns, and patrolled the streets. On the way, they could not see a single civilian except for other soldiers who passed by from time to time, Ruben explained that from the beginning of the "Black Cross" operation, Shangdu had forcibly relocated the citizens of Barcelona from here, and they were all the remaining ones who were unwilling to leave their hometowns in previous years, and this time they had to leave because of the spread of the war in front of them, but most of them only moved to France, and I heard that only a small number of people hid in order to wait for the resistance to counterattack. Participated in the resistance army's military campaign against Shandu.

Walking through the devastated streets, the two men would occasionally see seriously wounded Resistance soldiers captured by the Wehrmacht and thrown to the side of the street to be executed, and the corpses were disposed of by piling up combustibles that could be found in the vicinity, igniting them and burning them on the spot.

Along the way, Tang Shuxing constantly warned Lu Ben to be calm and not to do stupid things impulsively. These admonitions, though they made Ruben impulsive, could not contain the anger in his heart at all.

After walking to the square in front, the two of them saw that all around were the tents of the loyal army of Shangduguo, because of the cold weather, most of them were seven or eight people around a fire to keep warm, and some of the loyal soldiers in the corner, because they couldn't find anything to keep warm, simply surrounded the burning corpse and roasted their hands there, and they were also calm.

"!" Reuben shook his head, "These brutes! ”

Tang Shuxing coughed, suggesting that he stop talking about these words, there are many people here and it is easy to be heard, fortunately, whether it is the Shangdu Defense Army or the Loyal Army, they are all people from all over the world, but now they are basically Chinese and English, but they all have a strong accent, so the two of them will not be exposed for the time being.

"They took the captives and went that way." Tang Shuxing looked at the west side of the square, a large number of soldiers of the Shangdu Loyal Army reluctantly escorted the captive brigade towards a building, and the soldiers of the Loyal Army also knew that they could not be compared with the Wehrmacht, so they did the dirty work, and the Wehrmacht soldiers only needed to lie in the tent to drink, chat and rest.

Tang Shuxing and Ruben lowered their heads, blended into the team escorting the captives, and followed them into the building, and the mighty procession shuttled through the building and went straight to the train station at the other end.

Tang Shuxing took advantage of the loophole, took Ruben into the corner next to him, and sneaked into the room on the second floor where he could see the hall inside the railway station from the back passage, and stood there looking down - countless prisoners stood in the hall, and everyone had to go through the security gate at the door to enter the hall, and all metal objects had to be taken down.

In the middle of the hall was a steel frame, and an officer of the Shandu Wehrmacht with the rank of colonel stood there, looking down at the captives below, occasionally exchanging heads with the other officers around him, shaking his head, as if discussing what to do with the captives.

Seeing this, Tang Shuxing asked Ruben in a low voice: "How are the prisoners captured by Shangdu dealt with now?" ”

"I heard that some of them will be executed on the spot, and those with special skills will be sent to the Xinshandu region by them, and the rest will become coolies, but before that, they will have to be sent to concentration camps for brainwashing, and if the brainwashing is successful, they will become workers and go to work in mines or other places." Ruben explained in a low voice, clenching the assault rifle in his hand.

Tang Shuxing raised his hand to take Reuben's hand off the assault rifle, and then said, "Do you know how many concentration camps they have?" ”

"I've heard that there are three large ones in Spain alone, and the other small ones can't be counted." Ruben shook his head, "There are all over the world, except for places with extremely harsh environments, such as the original United States, the current United States is icy and snowy, and the climate is very weird, although the whole world is getting colder, but other countries on the same equator are not so bad." ”

Ruben also said that because of the ice bomb seven years ago, ice and snow began to spread from Washington, and seven years have led to a few states that are not outside the ice field, and all the others have become ice and snow worlds, people and animals cannot survive, but there are rumors that there are survivors there, but no one has the ability to rescue them, after all, the whole world is the same, and the Sahara Desert in North Africa has now become a paradise.

"How did it come to be like this?" Tang Shuxing shook his head, "What about natural disasters?" ”

"It's very serious, in some places it rained for a month, nothing survived, nothing, and when the flood receded, there were corpses everywhere, and all kinds of diseases spread, and the method taken by Shang Du was to throw incendiary bombs in the air, and keep burning, which they called disinfection." Ruben shook his head, "But at the same time, there are also rumors that many previously incurable diseases can be cured in Shangdu New District, such as cancer and AIDS, all of which can be cured, so over the years, many people have begun to surrender to Shangdu." ”

"Reasonable." Tang Shuxing nodded, looked at the disdain on Lu Ben's face, and said with a smile, "People are emotional animals, if your loved ones have a disease, only Shang can cure it, maybe you will fight too." ”

Ruben did not speak, and the officer in the hall began to shout at the captives with a megaphone, and the two stopped talking and looked into the hall below.

The prisoners below were still noisy and quiet, the officer pulled out his pistol and shot the five prisoners under his iron frame to death, the hall instantly fell silent, and the officer also stood there with his head held high with a megaphone, and said loudly: "I think you know very well that you have lost and failed, and your so-called 'Black Cross' operation has been declared a complete failure so far!" ”

Most of the captives below had their heads bowed, and many were cursing at the stupidity of the Resistance's top brass.

"Yes, your commanders are all rubbish! But it is a blessing that you are alive and standing here, a gift from God, and a mercy from the Creator, otherwise not a single one of you would have survived according to my principles! The officer smiled with a converted smile, "But since you are all here, I want you to understand that you should stop thinking about any so-called resistance, Shangdu has unified the world, there are no wars in the world, it is you, it is you who provoked the war, which has led to the destruction of lives and the displacement of people!" ”

When Reuben heard this, he scolded in a low voice: "Shameless! ”

Tang Shuxing raised his hand to signal him not to interject and listen quietly.

The officer stood on the iron platform and looked around: "Now, I have the opportunity to be reborn for everyone, and you have the following choices. First ......"

When the officer said this, he pointed to the entrance on the far left: "If you have special skills, whether it is a doctor or an engineer, as long as you have a skill, you can walk into the entrance on the left and get tested, as long as you pass the inspection, we will immediately issue you Shangdu ID, you can take the train to the military airport, take a direct flight to the new region of Shangdu, start your life there again, and contribute to the creation of a new world!" ”

After speaking, the officer pointed to the entrance on the far right: "Second, even if you don't have any special skills, you should always be able to kill people with guns, right?" Then please go to the right side, change your military uniforms, become a loyal army, in order to exterminate the terrorists, fight for Shangdu, you will immediately get the same treatment as our soldiers, eat and drink, no longer be afraid, and at the same time you can go to the front and persuade your obstinate companions to surrender to Shangdu with weapons. ”

Immediately afterwards, the officer put down the megaphone, paused, looked at the people below, and then picked it up and said: "Third, stay, get on the freight train, roll into the concentration camp to get an education, if you are willing to receive education, then you stay quietly, if you are not willing, we can send you to the western heavens!" ”

After speaking, the officer drew his gun and fired a few shots into the air and said: "Give you an hour to act, or you will all die!" ”

For a long time, the captives did not move, until a middle-aged man took off his hat, trembled and walked under the iron platform, looked up at the officer, and asked: "Mr. Colonel, I am a pilot, I used to fly large passenger planes, and later flew fighter planes, do I have special skills?" ”

"Of course! What we're lacking is talent like you, please go over there! The officer pointed to his left, and the man nodded, and when he turned around, he saw a number of people glaring at him.

The middle-aged man turned a blind eye and walked through the crowd to walk over, but was stopped by several people, who pushed him and motioned him to go back, but he was unwilling and continued to walk forward, and then was knocked down by a punch, and the people around him scolded him for being a coward and traitor. At this moment, someone began to walk to the right, and after one person walked, the other people who were still shaking immediately followed, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

"You traitors! They killed my family! My parents! My sisters! ”

"You ungrateful bastards! Have you forgotten who dug you out of the rubble? It's the Resistance! ”

"Freedom for slavery! Are you in the water of your brains? ”

……

There was a lot of scolding in the group of captives, and many people had already begun to beat those who were going to Shangdu, but those people did not fight back, holding their heads against their fists, and continued to walk slowly towards the left and right sides.

Ruben stood there and shook his head, turning his head to the side, unable to bear to look at it again.

"Hey, look, look at me." Tang Shuxing motioned to Reuben not to turn his head, "This is the reality, since you have chosen to become a resistance, then you have to choose to accept the facts in front of you, they just made their own choice in order to survive, that's all, because they know that no matter how they choose, they will face a rain of bullets, it is better to choose the side that can make their lives better, at this moment, there is no difference between lowly and noble." ”

Reuben looked down and shook his head: "If it were me, I wouldn't, I would choose to continue to resist." ”

Tang Shuxing smiled: "Then you just choose to die, die immediately, and die if you can't do anything, maybe in a short period of time, people will remember that there is a hero who made a feat and died at this moment, but if Shangdu finally wins, then you will be completely forgotten by people, or simply become a shameless and lowly person in Shangdu's history books." ”

Reuben looked at Tang Shuxing in bewilderment, not knowing why he said this.

Tang Shuxing pointed down and said, "So, if you don't want to have that day, adjust your mentality, use your brain more, think about what you should do next, and how to effectively resist Shangdu's atrocities." ”rs
