Chapter 58: The Meaning of Battle
The sky, which had just been sweltering, suddenly flashed with thunder and lightning, and it was about to rain heavily. Chen Mengmeng hurriedly spread the back wings of the black eagle, turned on the speed to the maximum, held a child in one hand, and quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain.
The two twins are light, barely a little bone weight.
"Why don't you break our hands?" One of the twins in his arms said suddenly.
"Folded your hands? What do you mean? Chen Mengmeng frowned.
"Beanie. The hand was broken.,The adult said yes.。。 He made it visible to others. We've got it on our hands. Dirty. ”
Chen Mengmeng was stunned, sighed lightly, and reported the two twins tighter.
When he arrived at the destination, Chen Mengmeng found that at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, there was still a dilapidated temple hidden, and there were many people lying in it, who should have been former insect slaves, liberated from the hands of the Zerg, but not accepted by the resettlement area, so they would live on the edge of this no-man's land.
Looking around, there are basically some old and sick people here, there are old people lying on the ground, their eyes are like two black holes, and their shriveled breasts are almost silent. There are women who have had their legs bitten off by the Zerg, and there are men with deformed tumors growing in their abdomen, and they are suffering greatly with every breath. The few able-bodied people also had patches of black and bloody marks on their arms and legs, full of exhaustion and despair.
In addition to the two sisters, there were several other children, all skinny, with cheeks that should have been fleshy and sunken, and among them was an older child, whose hands were limp and swollen like goose eggs! This should be what the two sisters are talking about.
Chen Mengmeng's arrival caused panic, like a calm pool of stagnant water and suddenly fell into a small pebble. Everyone didn't know what the stranger who had arrived with the pilot mecha was going to do, and they all suddenly became nervous.
One of the middle-aged women saw the two sisters in Chen Mengmeng's hands, and her face was like gold paper all of a sudden.
"Mom!" The two sisters looked at the pale-faced woman and rushed out like two small cannonballs.
"Where have you been? Ahem. Dangerous outside. Cough.. The woman barely got up, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.
"Let's go collect medicine! Not dangerous ... Sister.. Good people, send us back! ”
As soon as the two sisters said this, the tense atmosphere in the temple relaxed a little.
"Mom, you see we took the medicine!" Two small black hands took out a few green plants from their arms, and Chen Mengmeng glanced at them, they were just some ordinary anti-insect and poisonous herbs, which obviously did not help a woman's illness at all.
The woman smiled bitterly and touched the top of the two sisters' heads helplessly, nodded to Chen Mengmeng, and her expression changed from hatred and fear just now to gratitude: "Thank you for sending them back." ”
"It's okay, it's a gesture." Chen Mengmeng shook her head. "They... What's going on? ”
The scars on the bodies of several able-bodied villagers are clearly relatively new, like the marks of the last week.
"It was the beasts from the Chamber of Commerce in the resettlement area a few days ago who did it!" A guy in the crowd replied hatefully.
"Girl, you can also see that our people here have no livelihood, so we can only take the children to dig some herbs in the mountains on weekdays, and take them to the resettlement area to exchange for some daily necessities, who knows that there are a total of 150 cold snow grasses, and the Bolton gang is now unwilling to give us even 30 nutrient solutions and two pieces of clothing." Speaking of this, the woman couldn't help but wipe her tears. "We reasoned with them, and finally got 45 nutrient solutions, but who knew that as soon as we left the resettlement area, someone was sent to teach us a lesson, and Doudou's hands were broken by them. Later, thanks to a passing girl, we stopped them and helped Doudou treat them. I'm embarrassed to say, I don't even know what the girl's name is. ”
"And this?" Chen Mengmeng frowned, remembering what Wen Renchu said, "To exchange materials, do you have to pass this Bolton?" Aren't there several chambers of commerce? ”
The woman sighed: "Now the Black Flag Chamber of Commerce in Bolton is the most powerful in the Hill Star Settlement Area, and he won't let it go, and the remaining few small chambers of commerce don't dare to accept our things, so they can only look for him." ”
Chen Mengmeng's face was slightly cold, and she stepped out of the cockpit of the Black Hawk and looked at Doudou. stepped forward and carefully touched his bones, the dislocation was out of place, and there were some bone cracks, the superficial injuries had been treated, but there was a big problem inside.
Taking out the first-aid kit bought from Wen Renchu from the wormhole beads, Chen Mengmeng began to treat Doudou: "It will hurt a little, but do you have to endure it?" ”
Doudou nodded obediently, he is a little man, he will not make trouble.
During the whole process of Chen Mengmeng's resetting Doudou's arm, Doudou was very quiet, even if he bit his lower lip, he didn't make a fuss. After Chen Mengmeng repositioned his arm, he applied a lot of bone wound liquid from the first aid kit, passed it through his arm with medical gauze, and fixed it slightly. At the end, Chen Mengmeng suddenly smelled a wisp of fragrance, where did this fragrance seem to have been smelled?
Chen Mengmeng was thoughtful.
Leaving most of the food and two medicine boxes in the wormhole beads, in the eyes of everyone in the temple to thank Dade, Chen Mengmeng's driver Black Hawk was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Chen Mengmeng couldn't help but turn her head to everyone and said: "Don't tell the children that their hands are dirty, it's not their fault, it's not your fault, you are not dirty, it is not easy for people to survive, it is the Zerg who is wrong, it is the people who look down on you, and it is this war." ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole ruined temple was silent for a long time, and after a while, someone actually sobbed, and then two or three people couldn't help but cry, and finally turned into a group of people crying.
It's so bitter! They are really bitter!
They live like walking corpses in this world, not recognized and accepted by any force. I finally survived the days of being enslaved by the Zerg, and I didn't become the ration of the Zerg, but when I came back, I was beaten and kicked by the original same kind, the world is so big, there is no place for them! There is no home for them! And they just want to live!
The insect slaves who were expelled and waiting to die, the chamber of commerce that bullied people, the imperial government that turned a blind eye...
Chen Mengmeng was silent all the way, many things were rampaging in her mind, and many previously obscure places were lit up.
She remembered her past, remembered her little self at the beginning, and a lot of pain that had faded in her memories came back to her.
Picking up an expired nutrient solution can also be exciting, wearing worn shoes and reluctant to throw away, older children can fight to snatch food from younger children...
Li Luo in Black Eagle's body was feeling the tsunami-like emotions transmitted from the neuronal connectors at the moment and some chaotic but not beautiful memories, and quietly did not speak all the way, he knew that this moment belonged to Chen Mengmeng alone.
"I came out, but a lot of people didn't."
"I can help them for a while, but I can't help them for a lifetime. In this environment, too many people are trying their best just to live. ”
"Getting stronger and fighting shouldn't just be about revenge or proving yourself."
"Ending wars, ending all this, building a better world, this is the ultimate meaning of fighting!"
Chen Mengmeng stood in the wind and looked at the endless mountains to calm down, the sky was surging with black clouds in the distance, and the mountain rain was coming!
