Chapter 3 Sometimes timidity is a blessing

Chen Ran pulled Yang Yu's tactical vest, and suddenly felt that this cold mercenary was also a warm-hearted person, although she was not used to this kind of appearance of being a fool and indifferent to everything, but it still gave her a little warm feeling, under the chaos of war, it is always good for someone to care.

One of the soldiers in the front car climbed to the other side of the broken bridge along the unbroken steel bar, and then signaled that the others could pass, and the armored car was not going to be able to do so, although it was very new, the two soldiers took out plastic explosives and gritted their teeth and threw them into the car. The three soldiers in the front car had already climbed to the opposite side along the unbroken steel bar, Yang Yu picked up Chen Ran on his back, tied her to himself with a strap, and then hung upside down on the steel bar to climb to the opposite side. Chen Ran didn't dare to open her eyes to see, there was an abyss below her, the steel bars that were not very thick and the weight of the two people bent down sharply, plus Yang Yu crawled down and down, dangling as if she might fall down at any time, so frightened that she hugged Yang Yu's broad chest hard, and her two heels were tightly coiled around Yang Yu's waist, of course, she didn't know that Yang Yu was about to be strangled by her and almost out of breath, she could only see the three soldiers on the side of the broken bridge walking around nervously. The broken bridge is not long, that is, about fifteen meters, if it is usual, Yang Yu will not take fifteen seconds, plus one person, it will be completely different, what is even more terrifying is that a Katyusha rocket fell from the sky and drilled into the canyon from a place of more than ten meters on the left, the air flow brought by the rocket made the steel bar tremble, Yang Yu could only stop and hold the steel bar tightly, and Chen Ran behind him had already "wetted" his waist...

When they finally reached the other side, two soldiers dragged and dragged the two men up, and one of the soldiers on the opposite side had already sat on the ground. Yang Yu pulled the embarrassed Chen Ran over, took off his shirt and wrapped her around his waist. Chen Ran blushed and said "thank you", and then dragged Yang Yu's tactical vest to death.

"You're welcome, although I am a mercenary, I am a soldier and a Chinese! This is what should be done. Yang Yu squatted on the ground and felt out a magazine and inserted it into the gun, reached over with his left hand and pulled the bolt, and it was loaded with a "click".

"Am I timid?"

"It's a little timid, but this is a normal reaction, when I first went to the battlefield, a shell hit more than sixty meters in front of me and I was scared to pee my pants, this is nothing, normal reaction, but then again, how I wish I could be as scared as you, even if it's better than being a butcher, sometimes, cowardice is also a kind of happiness, because you must have lived happily before being timid, and you haven't seen so many disgusting things."

Chen Ran lowered his head and looked at the dirty camouflage uniform on his waist, and found that there was a large patch of blood on it, only then did he know that the blood had coagulated and turned into black-brown lumps. Gu Li was the last to crawl over from the opposite side, waving his hand to signal the soldiers to move on. The soldiers were not much surprised by the extra mercenary, the three soldiers in the front car glanced back and hurriedly drove forward, and the three people in the back car formed a zigzag protective circle around Yang Yu and Chen Ran, behind Gu Li. After walking a few dozen meters, a violent explosion came from behind, and two brand-new infantry chariots turned into scrap metal.

At two o'clock in the morning, there were no rockets in the sky that often glided by, and the violent explosions around it disappeared, only a few fires in the distance still showed that there had been a fierce battle here, the world was quiet, but it made the pedestrians on the road more frightened, Yang Yu put on a camouflage uniform taken from the dead body, after all, there were too many mosquitoes, and the people who bit were a little unbearable, but fortunately, the soldiers prepared a veil to cover their faces, which made Chen Ran more comfortable, It is estimated that they also have extra camouflage uniforms, but no one is willing to give Yang Yu, an unlucky mercenary, an extra piece of clothing, maybe in their eyes, since Yang Yu is a war lackey, he will not care about the mosquitoes and flies all over the world. Yang Yu, who had no choice, had no choice but to pick up a dead corpse's clothes by himself.

"They're going to stop fighting! We will be more dangerous. Gu Li took out a pistol and handed it to Chen Ran.

"The fighting is so fierce that you can't see that there is going to be a truce?" Chen Ran waved his hand to indicate that he would not use it.

"The fact that the target of this level of firepower is not clear today, but the firepower is very large, suggests that they are raining up excess ammunition, which is often a pre-armistice clamour. The inexplicable war between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Congo is inexplicably over. Take it, as soon as there is a truce, all kinds of armies will be disbanded, and the demobilized armies will often turn into robbers. Be a life-saver as a last resort. Gu Li waved his hand to signal everyone to move forward, and from the binoculars, he saw a village in front of him, and there was curling smoke...

Yang Yu looked at the soldiers advancing rapidly in front of him, dragging the tired Chen Ran, and suddenly remembered his mother and father. This is a very undesirable thought, because the second elder has passed away for five years, and yesterday was their sacrifice day. Every time I think of my parents, Yang Yu's mouth is filled with a kind of bitterness, like chewing two taels of dried tobacco, bitter, dry and spicy, an inexplicable emotion impacts the nervous brain, Yang Yu's bright eyes stared at the surrounding woods, but his head was thinking about the past and his parents, and he crashed into the soldier in front of him without paying attention, and Chen Ran was dragged out and didn't drag him away. The soldier who was hit was the guy who hit him with the butt of the gun, and the soldier waved his gun at him with round eyes, making the distracted Yang Yu more serious, but when he saw Yang Yu's red eyes, he turned around and continued to walk.

Early in the morning, I arrived at the village that I saw through the binoculars. The village was very quiet, there were no roosters or dogs barking, and a straight column of smoke rose from the other side of the village, and the whole village seemed to be dead. Gu Li threw Yang Yu a walkie-talkie, motioned for Yang Yu and Chen Ran to wait outside the village, and led the soldiers to disperse the search.

"No one."

"No one."

A report of no one reaching the ears made the village strange. Until a soldier reported: "A pile of corpses was found!" ”

Yang Yu took Chen Ran around several thatched houses, and saw Gu Li standing next to a big pit with a gun in his hand. walked over to take a look, and when he turned around, he went to cover Chen Ran's eyes, but it was still a step too late, and Chen Ran had already fainted with a roll of his eyes! Yang Yu helped Chen Ran, who had fainted, to look at the messy corpse that had been chopped down in the pit, the blue-green internal organs were already full of flies, a pregnant woman's belly was picked open, and the baby in her belly had been split in half, half of which was still connected to the umbilical cord....

Yang Yu hugged Chen Ran to the corner of the wall, took out a piece of gauze dipped in some water and wiped Chen Ran's dirty little face, poor child, why did you run to this hell, why don't you sit in a café with music and listen to romantic music at the same age? Or talk to a friend about which guy is a little more handsome! Thinking of this, Yang Yu suddenly laughed, why didn't he run into hell by himself at the same age? And it was voluntary, without any instigation. Yang Yu stared blankly at the dirty little face in front of him, and an inexplicable sadness mixed with his parents' sadness was like an awl piercing into his head. Yang Yu tugged at his hair in pain, trying to get himself out of the negative emotions.

Gu Li looked at Yang Yu, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, laughed and gently pressed his hand on Yang Yu's shoulder: "It will always be painful to fight without faith!" Mercenary! ”

Yang Yu looked back at Gu Li and found that this guy had a natural smile, and although he said compassionate words in his mouth, his face seemed to be smiling, "I am an unwavering atheist, and it has nothing to do with faith!" ”

"Faith can't be explained simply by religion, although faith is also a manifestation of faith, but faith is not the same as faith, sometimes faith is a wish, sometimes it is also a concept of being a man, you remember your mercenary friend Moss, that guy's faith is to make money, I don't care what method is used to make money, as long as I earn it, this is also a kind of faith. Like me, I want to be a soldier, to be a good soldier, to be a good soldier who can wear a golden medal and be admired by the people, if one day people call me a hero, then I will be happier, I think this childlike idea is also a kind of faith, because it supports me to fight a lot of battles! ”

Yang Yu opened his mouth and suddenly felt that he had nothing to say. Because I went to war to find some excitement for my empty life, after fighting for so many years, I suddenly found that I didn't know what to fight for! I've had enough of fighting, and I'm not a money-loving person, and I don't want to be a hero and I don't know who to fight, anyway, it's just a war and a killing, so Gu Li said that he suddenly found that he seemed to be living without a goal, like a walking corpse. Yang Yu remembered that when he graduated from college, the seven-year-old child of his mentor's family asked him: "Uncle, do you have a dream?" Yang Yu also didn't know how to answer.

Just when Yang Yu was stupid, a "squeak~" sound like a mosquito flying penetrated the eardrum and stimulated the brain, instinctively holding Chen Ran in his arms and lying on the ground, a cannonball instantly exploded in the corpse pit behind him, and the violent roar was accompanied by the arms and thighs in the sky and hit Yang Yu's body with a loud bang, a huge stone was blown up from the corpse pit by a cannonball, and then smashed on Yang Yu's helmet in a beautiful arc, and his eyes were dark, and Yang Yu's body collapsed softly like a deflated balloon.

Chen Ran was awakened by the violent explosion, and as soon as he raised his eyes, Yang Yu's bloody lips were full of blood, and Yang Yu's faint breathing gently blew on Chen Ran's forehead, making Chen Ran's lifeless eyes slowly come to life. Chen Ran moved his fingers, his hand was slippery and greasy, as if it was stained with syrup, he struggled to squeeze his head out from under Yang Yu, and when he took a look, he found that he was holding a large intestine in his hand. Chen Ran was stunned, pulled himself out from under Yang Yu's heavy body, looked at the scattered arms, thighs, intestines and heads around him, turned Yang Yu over like a robot with an expressionless face, and dragged Yang Yu into a nearby thatched hut with all his strength. There was a basin of water in the house, Chen Ran climbed over, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the dripping blood flowed down, and he poured out some water to wash the blood on his hands, and found that the fingers that were as tender and white as green onions had turned black and were full of folds, looking like the paws of an old hen in his hometown when he was a child. Chen Ran brought the basin to Yang Yu's side, tore off a piece of cloth from the camouflage uniform on her waist, and gently pulled off Yang Yu's tattered clothes and pants. Wipe Yang Yu's back and thighs clean with water, only to find that Yang Yu's tight back was full of horizontal and vertical scars, and there was a meat socket under the left shoulder, and a stone on the thigh was halfway in. Chen Ran dragged the stone down, saw Yang Yu's muscles tremble, and looked at the meat nest again, and found that there was no injury there, but a piece of meat was not dug up. The fierce gunshots rang out outside the window, and the unique wah-wow screams of Africans reached his ears with the fierce gunshots, Chen Ran took out the pistol given by Gu Li, laboriously pulled the sleeve to load the gun, and then retracted into the corner of the wall and aimed the gun at the door.

There are two gunshots outside, one loud and messy, and one crisp and regular. The sound of waw wow screams and sharp screams shattered the eardrums, Chen Ran held a heavy pistol and pointed straight at the door, bursts of chaotic footsteps came in from outside, and then a grass-green shadow flew heavily from the door, so frightened that Chen Ran closed his eyes and pulled the trigger vigorously, and after fighting for a long time, Chen Ran found that not a single bullet was fired. When she reacted, she realized that she hadn't opened the insurance according to Gu Li's teaching. With a "click", the safety of the gun was broken, and the sound of screaming and chaotic gunfire outside was gone, only the piercing screams and a few chaotic footsteps. Just as Chen Ran slowly lowered the gun, a black man holding a machete suddenly rushed out of the door, the black man saw Chen Ran who was stupid with a pistol, Chen Ran was also stunned and forgot to shoot, the black man laughed, and rushed over with a slender machete, and then the "bang" gunfire accompanied by Chen Ran's scream came far away.

Gu Li had just killed the last enemy, the woman's unique scream made his heart suddenly, and he hurriedly ran to Chen Ran's thatched house, stepping on the ground with bits and blood, and running into the thatched house with the wind, Chen Ran looked at Yang Yu holding a bayonet on the ground in a daze, Yang Yu's bayonet was poking into the neck of a black bandit.

"Take the bullet casings out of my pants and burn me, slot!" Yang Yu's grinning appearance made Gu Li's heart relax. Stretched out his hand and took down the gun in Chen Ran's hand, and took out a hot bullet case from Yang Yu's ass with a smile, looking at the messy bullet shells around Yang Yu, it is estimated that this guy has suffered a lot.

Yang Yu stood up, lifted his pants, and reached out to rub Chen Ran's stunned little face, "Don't shoot on my bare back next time, the bullet casings are very hot." ”

"Hehe, you're not happy that the beauty is wiping your body, and if it's not hot, maybe you won't wake up!" Gu Li quipped, stretched out a kick to kick the corpse aside, took out a cigarette and lit it himself. Chen Ran, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly stood up and snatched the cigarette from Gu Li's mouth, and took a hard puff, probably never smoked, and was choked with tears and snot coughing out, Yang Yu wiped her face twice, and dragged her limping out of the thatched house.

The sun was shining outside.
