Chapter 45: The Devil's Daughter
Adam was taken to the refugee camp, surrounded by a cacophony of human voices. The busload of them were all refugees brought back from the surrounding area, and everyone was dirty and smelly.
The soldiers drove them out of the car, and when they saw the refugees everywhere dressed in uniform everywhere, their hearts suddenly relaxed.
A cartload of people was separated by several soldiers, a group of men, and a group of women were taken away by several female soldiers. The whole process was good, these soldiers were not as vicious as expected, the leading soldier explained the process to everyone briefly, and then took them to a large tent to bathe, and after changing into the same clothes, they moved to another tent to check their bodies one by one.
Some of the sick or injured people were given some medicine and then they were placed in different tents to settle down temporarily. Some couples and children can apply to live together, which requires registration with a special administration......
……
'Forget the past, child!' If you stay like this all the time, your family will feel sorry for you. ’
The seventy-year-old man, who had been assigned to a tent with Adam, sat down next to him softly and comforted him.
'Daddy Elig is right, you should look forward, everyone is the same misfortune, you have to live with your family. ’
A very strong middle-aged man leaned against the pillar of the double-tiered iron bed opposite, and sympathetically persuaded Adam.
My name is Elig and his name is Fili. The battle took my wife, but fortunately my daughter and son-in-law and my little granddaughter live in the city of Milicia. ’
'I'm here to work in Onyx City, and you know that one person needs a few more friends when he's away, and everyone can help each other to survive better. ’
Fili smiled at him kindly, and Adam finally had a reaction, and he looked up at the kind old man sitting beside him.
'Son, everyone has times of pain. We need to step over the past and start a new life of our own, not dwelling on how much we have lost now. My wife, who has been with me for 50 years, said that if it is gone, it will be gone, and I watched her fall, and she was trying to push me away from being hit by a bullet. For the sake of your family, children, you have to be strong, and if you go down like this, they won't be well in heaven. ’
Adam gradually felt the concern of an elder, and his heartfelt words made him feel better.
The loss of his parents and sister left him alive like a walking corpse, he didn't know why he was alive, and he didn't know what he was going to do next.
'Woo woo woo ......'
Adam finally cried out from the tears of the pain he had endured for so long.
The old man put his arms around his shoulder and patted him, and Filly silently brought him some bread and water......
……
Adam lived in the refugee camp for a day, and he felt that everyone here was helping and supporting each other, people he didn't know would say a few words of comfort to each other, and people in need would help each other, which is hard to see in normal times.
Adam's mood slowly recovered, but he still couldn't fully come out of the shadows......
……
The next day, when many trucks and soldiers arrived in the camp, everyone was asked to assemble in an open field, and an officer with the rank of captain jumped on the roof of a jeep and shouted at the crowd at his feet.
'We have been ordered by Major Olive that all the men in Camp 6 are to be called upon to assist the soldiers in the clean-up due to the severe shortage of manpower in the city, whether they are old or children, as long as they are not infants. ’
The sudden cacophony of anger in the crowd,
'the Major, why did she let us work?' ’
'Yes! You are the one who destroyed our home, and you still want us to wipe your ass! ’
'Even the old man and the child, you let go, your major is a demon~! ’
'The major himself did not dare to come out and give orders, let his men take her place, she kind of let her come by herself! ’
Of course she's a woman! She wants to plant me~! ’
'Hehe......'
The sound of invective and taunting in the crowd caused more laughter and more name-calling.
'Phew! ’
Seeing that the scene was about to lose control, the captain drew his pistol and fired a shot into the air, which caused the crowd to fall silent.
'Major Olive ordered that it would be a disaster for everyone because the large number of corpses in the city would cause a plague if not cleaned up in time, so everyone had the responsibility and obligation to join in the clean-up of the city. ’
After the captain finished speaking, he glanced at the silent people below and put away his pistol.
Major Olive also ordered all the people in the camp to enter the city immediately to participate in the clean-up, and if there was any resistance or escape, they would be killed directly! ’
With the word kill, the crowd began to stir again.
'Olive ? ’
Is it her? How could she be here, how could she be a major?
Adam was both excited and full of questions, and a large crowd was divided into trucks and headed towards the city......
……
'Click, Click, Click'
Adam's felon crane lifted a huge stone pillar, and some refugees went up to cut the wire attached to the outside with wire cutters, and the stone pillar was carried away on a truck.
Some elderly people and children wore masks, picked up stones or garbage that could be moved, collected them in large iron boxes, and then dumped them in trucks by forklifts.
The young and strong men were gathered together to carry the corpses, and the strange corpses of the dead emitted a foul stench, and many people could not help but vomit.
Adam was also in the procession of carrying the corpses, looking at the blackened and swollen corpses, which had been thrown onto the truck one by one. There were children, young people, and old people, and they were piled up on top of each other like goods.
The people around him were working with nausea while whispering about the female demon named Major Olive Live. Everyone was cursing at her, saying that she shouldn't have let everyone clean up the rubble, that the old people and children should not have to work, that they shouldn't have seen the rotting corpses.
……
After a tiring day, when I returned to the camp, almost everyone took a shower and fell asleep, but almost all of them did not sleep well tonight.
The scene of working during the day was so horrible that some children would wake up crying when they fell asleep, and the cries of children could be heard in the camp all night long.
Adam didn't fall asleep either, he thought about it a lot, but what he wanted most was to see the woman named Major Olive Live, was she the one who was? How much does she have to do with this war? What if it wasn't her......
……
Olive stood alone on the ruins of a building that had been cleared of the road and the entire street had been washed with water.
It's noon, but the sky is gray and black.
A large number of corpses were transported to a farm 15 kilometers from the city for centralized disposal, and a large number of huge earth pits were dug into the ground, which were set on fire as soon as they were filled with corpses. There are dozens of such pits on the farm where bodies are incinerated continuously, some of which have just been burned and another batch of bodies that have been dumped into by trucks to continue incineration.
A large amount of black smoke from the incinerator continued to gather until it covered the sky, and the city was filled with the stench of burnt flesh.
And the incineration pit, where everyone wants to stay away, attracts a lot of reporters like honey attracts bees, and they keep photographing the burning corpses in the incineration pits, the trucks carrying the corpses, the soldiers and refugees, in short.
These reporters are not only from the previous press corps, but also from outside reporters who came here quickly when they got the news, and they are almost three times more than the reporters who came here before.
When it comes to corpses and refugees, the journalists are more interested in Major Olive Live, known as the Devil's Daughter. How could this legendary female major, who has horns on her head and a tail behind her buttocks, like to drink blood and eat her brains, not be able to find her......
