The Return of the King Volume 1004 The Great Tribulation is Coming
In the dark streets, at midnight, 14-year-old Laura and a group of children, who are also orphans like her, hide under a sheltered eaves on the corner of the street, and the children have not eaten all day because of the heavy rain. When the weather is good, they will go out to order food, and sometimes there will be kind businessmen who ask them to help and earn a little money to feed their stomachs. But now, there's nothing. The sudden war baptized this humble town on the western continent with the fire of war. People here are dying, fleeing, and as far as the eye can see, there are ruins and dead bodies.
In the first two days, Laura and her friends also picked up some menial food from the dead pile, from the empty houses, from under the bombed-out rubble, but it was a drop in the bucket for so many of them.
Laura's children are all orphans of the war, and their parents have either died in the war or have been separated from the war. Several of the children are still disabled and have limited mobility. Laura, one of the two oldest children here, became their parent, taking care of them and keeping them safe. The other, who was the same age as Laura, was a boy named Makukaze, and his main task was to take a group of boys younger than him out to find food.
After waiting all day, Laura and her sisters were bought to see the curtain wind and they returned. Laura couldn't sit still, a little worried about the boys, ran into the rain again and again, the already thin and tattered clothes were drenched by the rain, close to the body, outlining a slender but toned figure, towering breasts and two black spots on the front chest that was wet by the rain, showing Laura's feminine characteristics and charm.
"Sister Laura, don't worry, Brother Mufeng, they must have not come back so late because they couldn't find food. Behind him, a boy with a bandage sat on the ground, looked at Laura, and said to her. The boy's left arm was gone, and his right arm was wrapped in bandages.
"yes, maybe that's true. After all, the people of this town are gone, and in this place where food is scarcer than gold, the people who survive and flee will of course take as much food as they can. Nowadays, survival has become a luxury. Laura thought to herself.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of us, if we hadn't dragged down Sister Laura and Brother Makukaze, you wouldn't have guarded us in this deserted city, you should have left us to go to the outside world, with your skills, you will definitely survive. A girl with her eyes wrapped in rags muttered as she walked forward touching the wall.
"Shut up, Carrie, I won't allow you to say that. When Laura heard the girl's words, she turned back to the blind girl and said, "We were orphans in the first place, and we are a family to live together until now." Now that my family is hurt, how can I leave you alone and run away for my own life? Besides, the way you are now is also for everyone's sake, and we can't do that kind of despicable and shameless act. ”
"I'm sorry, Sister Laura. Carrie listened to Laura's words, lowered her head, and apologized in shame.
"No, Carrie, my good sister, you are not sorry for anyone, it is the world that is really sorry for us, it is this war, it is the sinners who cause these wars!" Laura said, with anger in her eyes, and looked at the sky, where the rain was falling even harder, as if crying.
。。。。。。
Four hours earlier, on the southern corner of the town, a group of soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the World Coalition Government was marching. In the lead was a strange man with squinted eyes but no eyebrows, his whole body was covered with strange dark spots, not only his limbs, but also his face, like a map, crooked on his face, even on the top of his bare head.
"Boss Tushan, what are we doing here?" one of his soldiers asked the dark-spotted man. "This town has long been empty. ”
"Oh, it's the head of the Research Center who told us to find survivors and see if we can help some civilians. The leader known as Tu Shan replied, but he changed his words and said to the soldier: "Actually, these are all disguises, and I have another task behind my back." ”
"Another mission, what mission, is there still a combat mission in the empty city?" the subordinate was very puzzled.
"You wooden head, you know a fart!" Tu Shan opened his mouth and shouted: "Actually, the person in charge of the scientific research center here, the chief scientist of the World Coalition Government, Salinjie, asked me behind his back, he asked me to find those survivors without knowing it, and then bring them back, saying that it was used for what kind of beast manification experiment?"
"Beast man, what is that?" another soldier asked.
"How do I know, if I knew, Lao Tzu would have stopped messing with you garbage a long time ago, and would have been sitting in the office of the world government smoking, drinking, and hugging beautiful girls, hahahaha!" Tu Shan laughed vulgarly, laughing ugly.
"Hahahaha!" The subordinates around him also let out a serious laugh. In war, the difference between soldiers and bandits is not visible at all, and the so-called justice is always written by the victor, no matter how filthy and ugly it is, but when it is written into history and faced by the public, it has always been a high-sounding, high-sounding, and glamorous illusion.
"Sallinger said that the more we find, the more benefits we will have. Tu Shan said to his subordinates: "So, brothers, let's let it go, as long as it can still breathe, regardless of his men, women and children, all of them will be arrested, anyway, after the end of the war, this is also an empty city, and the outside world does not know the situation inside, how many have died, how many are missing, and no one knows." ”
"Yes, yes, the boss is right, this is a great opportunity for us to make war money. One of Tu Shan's soldiers also shouted excitedly.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted: "There is someone ahead!"
The soldiers in the war have been holding an extremely nervous string, and when they heard this, everyone immediately dispersed without thinking about it, found cover, picked up their weapons, and aimed ahead. I saw that not far ahead, sure enough, there were three figures walking towards this side. When the three figures walked in, everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be just three thin and thin boys dressed in tatters, who were rummaging through the rubble all the way, as if they were looking for something.
"Cut, you bastard, I'm scared. Tu Shan scolded his soldiers, slapped him on the head, and the sound was crisp: "I still think of it as an enemy, it turns out that it is three little hairy children!"
"Boss, didn't you say that you were going to arrest someone, isn't this coming, you can't help but eat the meat that you send to your mouth!" The soldier who was beaten hurriedly reminded Tu Shan.
"That's right, you can't afford to take advantage of it, brothers, catch them quickly!" Tu Shan raised his hand and issued an order, beckoning his subordinates to rush forward.
The crowd rushed to the three boys, who were startled and a little overwhelmed.
"You, you're the army of the World Government, aren't you?" One of the three boys, who looked a little older, was the first to post, a little nervous.
"yes, kid. We are the army of the coalition government of the world. What are you doing?" Tu Shan asked the three children.
One of the youngest of the three replied, "We're looking for something to eat." As soon as his words fell, one of Tu Shan's subordinates was about to rush over and want to grab him, but Tu Shan reached out and stopped him by his waist, and this scene was seen by the old boy and saw it clearly.
"Kid, we are the army of the World Government, we are here to find survivors, to help them, come with us, we will provide you with food and protection. Tu Shan smirked, and his appearance of smiling without smiling looked fake.
"That's great, Sister Laura, can they go too?" The other boy was naively deceived by Tu Shan's words.
"Oh, did you say there were any other of you?" Tu Shan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, we still have companions, and there are several families not far ahead, all alive. The boy replied, pointing his hand into the distance behind him.
"That's great. Tu Shan looked at his subordinates beside him and said with a wicked smile. He turned to the oldest boy and said, "Then you can take us to the survivors!"
The eldest boy looked at Tu Shan with suspicion: "Are you really here to save me?"
"Of course," Tu Shan said with a smile, pointing to his epaulettes with his fingers: "We are soldiers of the World Coalition Government!"
So, the three boys led Tu Shan and his party to find the remaining survivors of the town, and along the way, they did find several survivors, and they walked towards Laura's residence.
Laura and several children were leaning on the porch and were in a daze, when they heard footsteps dimly, the sensitive Laura was awakened, got up and looked out, and saw a large group of people walking towards her. She hurriedly woke up the others.
When the people outside approached, Laura and the children saw clearly that the three of them who had gone out to find food and had not returned home for a day were walking in front.
Seeing this, Laura hurriedly went out with a few girls.
"Makukaze, you're finally back!" said Laura, who ran up to Makukaze and took Makukaze's hand.
"Well, I'm sorry, we still haven't found food. Makukaze said to Laura regretfully.
"It doesn't matter, it's good that you guys can come back, everyone is worried about you. Laura said to Makukaze.
"Who are these people?" Laura quickly asked Makufu when she saw a group of soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the United World Government standing behind Makukaze.
Before the curtain could answer, Tu Shan spoke first: "We are the army of the World Coalition Government, and we have been ordered to come here to find survivors, and bring the survivors back to provide rescue and protection. ”
"Is that so?" asked Laura.
"That's what they told me. Makukaze said to Laura.
"But we have a few wounded, can we take them with us?" asked Laura.
"The wounded, as long as they are alive, can go with us. Tu Shan replied.
"That's great!" Laura was very happy to hear this, and said to Tu Shan, "Then please come with me." Laura brought Tu Shan to the house, but she didn't know that a catastrophe was coming.
