"That armored car, can it still be used?"

Parker was silent for a moment, then asked.

"The turret fighting compartment is all broken, but the engine and engine should be normal."

Higgins's tone was also a little cringe, but in the end he gave an answer.

Just as everyone arrived on the west bank of the bridge, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Parker brought the relatively reliable-looking Vance to the parking lot, and while reconnoitring the opposite side, they also found an abandoned infantry fighting vehicle parked not far from the bridge - but the roof of the infantry fighting vehicle has been lifted off by the drone's cannon and turned into an open top, needless to say, the two of them can imagine the members being beaten to minced flesh inside.

"And...... Weapon system ...... It should also work...... That is, the sighting system must be finished. ”

"You went in and saw it?"

Parker asked for the recruit's unexpected courage, and then Higgins, holding his rifle, nodded timidly.

"I told you you were a genius." Vance smiled wryly and shook his head, it was impossible to tell whether this sentence was praise or condemnation.

The reason is simple, because of Higgins's careful and meticulous behavior, it seems that the three people in the room have no reason to evade their responsibilities.

Except, of course, Vance, so to be exact, two people.

Just as Vance was thinking about how to escape from this suicide mission, suddenly, the door to the nearby staff break room opened.

Chrissy carefully opened the door a crack before poking it out, as Parker had reminded her that the staff break room had no windows. You can turn on the lights, but don't reveal them so as not to attract enemies.

"Shall we spend the night here?"

Although there are no lights in the parking lot, there is no power outage in Washington, so the lights on the streets are still on.

"I don't want it."

Parker shook his head. Sighing, "Tonight is our last chance." ”

Vance nodded, just objectively agreeing with this judgment, after all, the Allied troops didn't know where they were, and everyone knew about the attack on Baltimore, maybe tomorrow morning at dawn there would be a steady stream of ACA troops with heavy equipment to kill, and I was afraid that it would not be safe in the shelter at that time.

In fact, the ACA did begin a massive retaliatory "sweep" of the city the next day. The casual massacre of allied civilians by this team of ACA extremists even aroused Xie Yun's disgust.

"Matters of Chief Lennon...... I'm sorry......"

Chrissy was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and spoke at Parker in a barely audible voice.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, that idiot is missing another medal this time." Parker snorted, wanting to show disdain and contempt, but his voice softened unconsciously, "His mind is full of mush. ”

"It's the same in the jungles of Mexico. That makeshift ammunition storage point, if I hadn't fallen asleep while I was on guard. The ACA's drones will not sneak attack, that stupid guy, what is in his head, a drone was more than ten meters away from the nearest ammunition box at that time, and the cannon with incendiary bombs passed by, and half of the battalion was going to be blown up into the sky. He rushed up like a retarded man, pinned the drone to the ground, bought time, and fucking burned off a leg for three broken pieces of iron. It's really mentally retarded......"

"He's a hero."

Higgins took a deep breath, then sighed.

"On the battlefield, heroes are the least fucking worthless goods." Sergeant Major Parker extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground, "What's the use of the medal, it's not as good as a tour of Europe organized by the company." ”

"Do you want to be a hero, genius."

Vance suddenly thought of something, looked at Higgins, and said half-jokingly.

"It's my mom's birthday next week, and I just want to go back alive to celebrate her birthday, and I haven't had a birthday for her in four years of college."

Higgins hugged his cold rifle and sighed with some regret, "If I can really make it back alive." ”

No one answered, because no one knew if they would see the sun tomorrow.

"Chrissy, what about you? Aren't you afraid? ”

As if feeling that he had said something disgraceful, Higgins looked at Chrissy.

"Actually...... I'm scared to death. ”

Chrissy smiled a little awkwardly, "Actually, I've been crying all the time, and I can't stop crying. ”

"But when you pulled me into the car, you were no less than any warrior."

Vance interjected, and no one thought that Chrissy's weak body could burst out with such great strength and pull a man with nearly 200 pounds of equipment directly into the car with one hand.

Chrissy didn't respond directly, just smiled shyly, glanced at the break room, and spoke softly.

"Probably just...... I'm so scared, I'm afraid you're all dead...... I'm afraid if I can't save these children...... That kind of life entangled by fear and regret may be much more terrifying. ”

"Anyway, I'm still a teacher and a mother."

Chrissy clasped her hands on her knees, then buried her head between her legs, and after a long time, she spoke.

"I know...... Actually, you're not really soldiers...... When I ran away from school...... Seeing a lot of people...... are all on the run...... So ......"

"So, if ...... If you want to go...... If there is a good chance of surviving...... Can you keep me a gun? ”

". I was looked down upon by a little girl. Parker, who looked up at the ceiling, suddenly scolded fiercely, "How can I say that Lao Tzu is also a former Allied soldier, and besides, the SAR National Guard has been so embarrassed for so many years?" ”

"Lennon, that idiot, Lao Tzu has never lost to him since he was a child, isn't he just a hero? Lao Tzu wants to prove today that it's not that Lao Tzu doesn't have that guts, it's just that he doesn't disdain to be serious with those beasts. ”

Parker stood up and patted the dust off his body. "I'll drive that armored car myself, you two are free, if you want to go, leave all the ammunition behind."

"I'll go with you!"

As if stimulated by Chrissy's words, Higgins gritted his teeth and stood up.

What a young man. Vance sighed, then nodded, and stood up, not to be the target of public criticism at this time.

"That's the plan, Chrissy." Parker nodded, "There's an armored car over there, I'm going to drive to attack the outpost, we've seen it, and their main defense is still the possible penetration from the outside rather than the possible protrusion from the inside." So it's still very certain. ”

"Once I drive out, you're just driving the school bus straight out and watching it alive and dead, it's better than being grabbed by the ACA and smashed into a watermelon in the back of the head."

"You need a weapons operator."

Higgins' face suddenly appeared with an unprecedented calmness, he stood up and looked at Parker's older face, "Although the aiming equipment is broken, I checked it. The 20mm gun can also be operated manually, and an infantry fighting vehicle that can fire and an infantry fighting vehicle that can only drive are two concepts. ”

"I volunteered as a weapons operator."

Vance remained silent. He saw a familiar glow in Higgins's face, an impulse and fearlessness that belonged to a young man.

Although most of the time this fearlessness only wastes their lives.

"Then I'll drive the school bus." Vance took a breath and spoke without being salty.

Sergeant Major Parker nodded, but at that moment, Chrissy suddenly interjected.

“…… The guys in the armored car, I mean you two...... Isn't there a way back? ”

Parker was stunned for a moment. Then he frowned and looked at Chriss—it was obvious, but she couldn't say it.

"It's okay, we're soldiers after all, and we still have a chance-"

"I'll drive the armored car." Chrissy reached out and interrupted Parker, who was weaving the lie, before standing up. "I have driving experience."

"It's different." Parker was stunned for a moment, then spoke, "Driving an armored car and driving a car are two different things......

"No, I know, I have a friend who drives an armored car in the National Guard, and he told me that the internal operation is more difficult than an automatic car, and although the field of vision is a little narrow, I am confident."

Chrissy closed her eyes, her voice trembling, but it swept away her previous hesitation.

"What's more...... We don't yet know how long this breakthrough path will take, I am a civilian force...... There is no way to compare with a soldier, and if you can survive one more soldier, the children will be safer. She opened her eyes, and although they were still full of tears, she no longer avoided the eyes of the others, "I have arranged for it, and they will listen to you obediently." ”

"Higgins, you and Vance in the school bus."

There was silence for a full minute, and Parker spoke.

"But—"

"Obey orders!"

For the first time, and for the last time, Parker spat out those four words, and he reached out and gently patted Higgins on the shoulder.

"Don't let that fool who always wants to be a hero die in vain, you must send the children out."

Then Parker unloaded his rifle and magazine bag, threw it on the ground, and turned to look at Chrissy.

"Are you serious?"

"Hmm." Chrissy did not hesitate this time, as if any hesitation and hesitation would make her regret it, and the young governess nodded with eagerness.

"Then let's go."

Without righteous rhetoric or impassioned mobilization, Sergeant Major Parker flicked his arm, then turned and walked into the darkness first.

***

"Remember what I just said."

"Remember, it's not as hard as you think."

Parker leaned on the front armor and looked at Chrissy sitting in the cockpit, "We don't have time, as long as we start the engine, the ACA will notice us, we have to turn at full speed and drive across the bridge to create enough chaos, the biggest challenge for you is not to crash into the building when turning, it doesn't matter if you run over the street lamp or something, the vision is too narrow, you must be careful." ”

"Hmm."

Chrissy didn't speak, just nodded heavily.

"You get familiar with it again, I'll come back to you later."

Sergeant Major Parker climbed out of the bullet-riddled front armor of the armored vehicle and walked to the school bus behind it—the school bus couldn't get too close, couldn't follow too far, had to rush out at full speed when the armored vehicle broke through, and then escape into the night.

"Vance, are you there?"

Parker walked up to the school bus and gently tapped on the glass of the car to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Vance wasn't in the car, he was checking the school bus with a flashlight in his mouth, and he heard Parker's voice before he got out of the car.

"Is this car okay?"

Parker reached out and touched the potholed shell of the school bus, revealing a wry smile.

"It's a miracle that this school bus has been able to run until now and hasn't fallen apart." Vance also sighed, "Are you religious?" ”

"I'm an atheist." Parker shook his head, "But I want to pray now, too." ”

"For yourself, or for these children?"

Vance raised his head and looked at Higgins's back in the carriage, probably because he had been in the underworld for too long, and his face was murderous no matter how he looked at it, so the important work of pacifying children was naturally handed over to the more kind and handsome Higgins.

"Don't talk about that."

Parker sighed, then shook his head, "I have something to do with you, and you must help with this." ”

"What's the busy?" Vance turned his head and looked at Parker, and under the deep night sky, Vance suddenly felt that the eyes of Sergeant Major Parker, who always looked like a child, seemed to see through his pupils.
