Chapter 37 (II) The Only Hope

Everyone left, and when only Tang Shuxing and Hawk were left in the kitchen, Hawke began to adjust the communication equipment to an encrypted channel that he had used twice before, looked at Tang Shuxing with a puzzled face on one side, and whispered: "You may be wondering, why do I want you to stay, because without you, I alone can't convince the person on the other side of this instrument to save us, this is the only hope."

"Me?" Tang Shuxing was very surprised, is he so important?

"If I'm not guessing wrong, you should be important to him." Hawke began to call in cipher, but after calling for a long time, no one responded. The gunfire outside was getting closer and closer, and Hawke and Tang Shuxing had to leave the kitchen with the communicator in their arms, and came to a slightly stronger room above the refuge room.

In the refuge room, the captain made a clear division of labor: in addition to Wang Wanqing, who did not have to work to take care of the children, the group planted broadsword mines and trickery mines all over the house, first, to prevent Wanlian Mountain from attacking with zombies, and secondly, to prevent the coalition forces from sending infantry to search the consulate in order to torture them.

** The group broke through the thick wall of the warehouse next door in the vault.

"Can't the United Nations intervene in this matter?" Tang Shuxing asked tentatively, although he knew that this was simply a fantasy.

Hawke looked at him and said coldly, "I thought you weren't that naïve. ”

"I'd rather be naïve so I can still have hope." Tang Shuxing leaned to the side and looked at the communicator, the gunshots outside were getting closer and closer, but there was still no news on the other side.

"Come here, come—" Hawke motioned for Tang Shuxing to follow him to the window, and then he pointed to the southwest, "Go in this direction, go through Uganda, and you will reach a country called Rwanda." In 1994, there was a big ** outbreak in this country, because of a conspiracy, people of one race began to purge people of another race, regardless of men, women and children, all killed, do you know how many people died in less than four months from the beginning to the end of **? ”

Tang Shuxing looked at the sky that was dyed red by cannon fire, shaking his head woodenly, at this time Gu Huaiyi slowly walked in and put the Yin Bee on the table, Tang Shuxing heard the sound of putting down the katana, turned to look at him, at this moment, Hawke lowered his voice, but said in a trembling high voice: "About 1 million!" ”

Tang Shuxing turned his head to look at Hawke, not knowing what to say.

"At that time, the United Nations had peacekeeping troops there, but at first they made mistakes in judgment, and in order not to let the situation escalate, they chose to remain silent, and many thugs also began to kill peacekeepers, until later the United Nations found out that they couldn't stop it at all, so they began to persuade other countries to help, but only humanitarian aid, do you know what humanitarian aid is?" Hawke wrote on the wall with his hand, writing that line of English subtitles very hard, his fingernails were scratched, "Literally it means saving lives and preserving human dignity!" Of course, the latter basically can't be done! ”

"Why?" Tang Shuxing asked, even he didn't know why he asked.

"If your life needs to be saved! What dignity do you have? Hawke pointed at Tang Shu torture and shouted, Hawke paused to calm down his emotions, "Because of the Black Hawk incident in Somalia, the United States was worried that it would be internationally condemned if it sent troops again, so it gave up its plan to send troops, and other countries did not dare to send troops easily, because they did not have that power, and in the end it was God who saved themselves, and the so-called rebels fought back with the support of Uganda and extinguished the flames of **." ”

"The United Nations is just a club that can't command anyone, everyone just goes there to ** their own grievances, and at the same time has a good drink, and then goes back to their respective homes, maintaining the same appearance as before." Hawke then said again, sitting down again.

Tang Shuxing's gaze was very dull and looked out of the corridor, the soldiers of the 911 Special Service Regiment who were arranging tricks.

"Without tangible interests, no one will take care of Astaya's affairs, and it is impossible to end this war, because as long as there are people, there will be endless wars." Hawke sat back down at the table.

A hundred years ago, there was a tribal war in Astaya, and the war did not ease after the colonists came, and no one united against the colonists, but was used by the colonists to expand the war, and the weapons of the tribal soldiers were replaced from spears and bows to modern weapons.

A hundred years later, because of the territory and related interests carved out in the early years, Astaya was divided into factions, all with their own hypocritical slogans, and sometimes even fought for absurd reasons, while the great powers that could have allowed the flames of war to burn less fiercely came to "aid" and do things that added fuel to the fire in the name of justice for their own interests.

"Hawke, if you still come to ask about the undercover agent, I'll answer you first, I don't know." A male voice suddenly came out of the loudspeaker, although he was speaking English, Tang Shuxing immediately realized that the other party was Zhan Tianya - Hawke actually contacted the Ministry of Ancient Science of China!

Hawke took a deep breath and picked up the microphone and replied, "Director Zhan, I am in a small country called Astaya in East Africa, where there is a war, we are under siege, and I have a friend of yours by my side. With that, Hawke handed the microphone to Tang Shuxing.

"Hello, Zhan Wangba-" Tang Shuxing opened his mouth unceremoniously, he deliberately called out Zhan Tianya's nickname, and before Zhan Tianya could respond, he immediately said, "I met two of your best friends here, they are husband and wife, they said that a few years ago, in the Arctic Circle, it was you who ordered them to leave and let them live until now." ”

On the other side of the communicator, Zhan Tianya, who had returned to China, heard Tang Shuxing's words, and subconsciously tightened his microphone, he knew that the nickname "Zhan Wang Ba" was only known to his group of life and death allies who fought side by side in the past and are now missing, and among them are husband and wife, in addition to Mo Qin and Fu Qingyi, there are also Wei Daxun and Wang Wanqing, Mo Qin can't be there, so the only possible thing left is Wei Daxun and his wife.

"Director Zhan, I won't be verbose about the detailed process of the matter." Tang Shuxing took the microphone and said, "We are now in the U.S. Consulate in Astanya's capital Alanya, there are 15 people here, in addition to Chinese there are also Americans, not to mention the walking corpses and monsters in the city, but also in the face of the attack of the Astaya United Army, Astaya's army is blinded, they think that the United States and Russia and other major powers want to destroy their country and support new forces again...... We won't last long, and I hope you can convince the American side to come to our rescue. ”

When Hawke heard Tang Shuxing's last words, he immediately snatched the microphone and quickly explained: "Director Zhan, the United States has abandoned all the people here, I don't want you to persuade them or the Russians, but I hope you can use your connections to let the Chinese Navy off the coast of Asaya send a plane to rescue us." ”

Let the Chinese Navy come to the rescue? Are you kidding me? Tang Shuxing looked at Hawke.

China has tried to avoid war for years, and has always responded with a state of "condemnation" to the humiliation it has suffered, as in a line from an American film made many years ago about the Russian invasion of them, in which a few children accidentally saved an American pilot after Russia's invasion of the United States, asking how many people in the world still support the United States of America.

The pilot said: "In addition to our existing army and people, there are only a billion Chinese who rely only on their mouths to support us." ”

"Our country cannot be involved in any war, no matter when." Zhan Tianya's voice seemed very calm, "Moreover, I don't have the power to mobilize the army, now it's different from a few years ago, my entire department is up and down, field and inside, counting the cooks and cleaners, there are only a few hundred people, and the annual funds are pitiful, and sometimes we need our own people to go out to earn extra money." ”

"So, like the hypocritical US imperialists, you watch us die?" Hawke laughed to himself.

There was silence on the other end of the communicator, and at this moment, Wei Daxun slowly walked in, and Wang Wanqing stood at the door holding the child—the two of them had been listening to it at the door for a long time.

Wei Daxun stood in front of Hawke, took the microphone in his hand, swallowed his saliva, coughed lightly, pressed the switch under the microphone, and said in a deep voice: "Hello, Zhan Wangba, it's me, the one who obeyed your orders a few years ago, abandoned his comrades, and survived until now." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Daxun turned his head to look at Wang Wanqing at the door and the child in her hand.

"It's been almost three years, right? I don't know how you are, I don't know how other people are, I have to thank you, because of you, we have lived three years like people, although it is not so peaceful. Wei Daxun took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and flashed back to the past in his mind.

Zhan Tianya, on the other side, was also silent, staring at the communicator in front of him, and also reminiscing about the past, but the incision on his left arm, which had long been healed, suddenly began to hurt his heart.

"Is the Yaksha King okay? Has he called back his real name now? Are Mo Qin and Fu Qingyi already married and have children? What about Wei Xuanyu who slammed the door? Also, Hu Shuntang...... Did you find it? I'm sorry, but I can't help you find it. Wei Daxun held the intercom, as if talking to himself, "Everyone should be fine, don't worry, I'm just asking, I hope everyone is well-"

Wei Daxun paused when he said this, and took a deep breath: "I hope that this crisis can still be successfully passed, but if this time it can, I hope that no one will die in vain in the future, and I also hope that the heroes who turned the tide will be remembered, instead of hiding in obscurity and waiting for death." ”

After speaking, Wei Daxun handed the microphone back to Hawke and got up to leave.

"Hey—" Hawke was surprised that Wei Daxun didn't ask Zhan Tianya to come to the rescue.

"What did I say a day ago?" Wei Daxun stood at the door and tilted his head slightly, looking at Tang Shuxing, "You have to believe Zhan Tianya, he is a good person." ”

Tang Shuxing nodded slightly, grabbed the dragon blade, hit Gu Huaiyi's arm, and then followed Wei Daxun and his wife into the refuge room. After a long time, Hawk, who found that the communicator was not moving, also walked down with the communicator.

By this time, several blocks around the embassy had been covered in artillery fire, and the mixed armored forces and infantry of the Astaya Coalition Army had entered the city in tandem, clearing street by street of walking corpses that could not move at night, while searching for the mercenaries who were hiding, capturing them and breaking their legs, and then dragging them behind the car.

"Hang them!"

"Hanged!"

A group of Astaya coalition soldiers dragged the beaten mercenaries to the ground, then put ropes on them, hung them from the street lamps, and then shot into the sky in celebration.

……

Far away in a room at the headquarters of the Ministry of Ancient Science in a certain city in China, Zhan Tianya, who was originally sitting in front of the communicator, had already left, and the sound of his hurried footsteps in the corridor echoed in the room. (To be continued.) )
