Athena took Cheng Mo's hand and walked along the puddle towards the ruined building that had been blown into a pile of rubble.

The sun had not yet been completely buried by the night, and the pale white moon was imprinted diagonally above the light blue sky, like a shallow notch. At this moment, only the skyline is left and a residual ray of glow, as if the end of the earth is an endless abyss, in which the blazing karmic fire is hidden.

The lonely vastness and decadent beauty of the Gobi are like a picture scroll, unfolding in front of Cheng Mo's eyes.

Cheng Mo breathed in the cold, humid air, feeling that everything in front of him and the cold temperature in his hands were hallucinations. He looked down at his own shadow and Athena's, which were almost merging in the fading light.

with each other, with the world.

He felt his heart pound violently, and his breath seemed to burn. When was the last time she felt this kind of tenderness? Was it the moment when Xie Minyun whispered a message as she stroked his cheek? Or was it the moment when she stared at herself as she sang in the void?

No matter what time it is, Xie Minyun's gentleness comes as a matter of course.

And Athena's actions are incomprehensible.

Let him feel like he is in the midst of a vain sweetness that will dissipate at any moment.

Holding his hand, it was only an illusion.

This unreality made Cheng Mo not even want to look at Athena's side face, he closed his eyes, remembering her whisper "I will protect you", at that time he didn't know if the sunset was too dazzling, or the golden poplar was too dazzling, he only felt that his heart and brain were penetrated by a warm warm current, and the world shook in front of his eyes.

He knew what Athena meant by saying this.

She doesn't lie.

"Is it pity? like pitying the little dog who bared his teeth at the enemy in order to protect her?" Cheng Mo thought to himself, "Then should I refuse, or should I accept it?"

Cheng Mo raised his head, ready to open his mouth to refuse this damn gentleness, but his palm was still attached to this soft and authoritarian desire to protect, and his brain was also enjoying this blind dependence, so he hesitated for a moment. By this time they had crossed the walls of the ruins and saw Heller and Khalid standing next to the bulletproof Humvee overlooking the trailer with the back lid lifted, and Heller's eyes were still shining with tears, like crystals under a spotlight.

Seeing that the bulletproof Hummer that was supposed to be driven by Mahwass returned to Heller's side, Cheng Mo roughly guessed what was going on, so he could only temporarily put aside his vanity pride and asked in a low voice: "How did you get rid of the drone's surveillance?"

Athena said: "Not long after you got out of the car, Mahwass contacted Heller through the intercom, and they saw the helicopter. They were not far from our side at that time, and the enemy had given up spying on them, so they discussed it and said that they would let Mawass find an opportunity to get into our car, because he was good enough to drive our car, leading the drones, helicopters and convoy in the direction of Damascus. They didn't know the drones existed, but I did, so I used my optical skills to cover them and get them through the plan. ”

"It seems like we're lucky. Cheng Mo said.

Athena was noncommittal.

But Cheng Mo knew that Athena could probably guess that he had premeditated, and he asked Khalid to drive in the direction of Mawas, because when they were separated, they arranged for Mawas, who had the best driving skills, to drive a bulletproof Humvee in this direction, and Cheng Mo had thought about using it at that time.

This is indeed the case, but Cheng Mo didn't expect it to be so powerful, it turned out to be just a step of idle chess, and it played a key role. Being able to escape drone surveillance right now is crucial to their escape.

The situation suddenly changed for the better, and Cheng Mo's heart relaxed a little, and he forgot to let go of Athena's hand, and the two stopped talking, and walked side by side to Heller. As soon as Cheng Mo wanted to compliment Heller, he saw three corpses in the trailer box at the back of the Hummer, two of which belonged to the twin sisters who danced belly dances, and the other belonged to the young female soldier who had accompanied Cheng Mo to the market to buy spices.

Cheng Mo remembered that the female soldier who accompanied him to buy spices was called Susan, a very ordinary name, and there would be two deep dimples on her lips when she smiled. At this time, she was lifeless, her lips were dull and her face was lying silently in the box, her two big eyes had lost their luster and light, like two broken glass balls, staring at the sky blankly.

Lying beside her were the twin sisters, who held each other until they died. Slightly taller is her younger sister, who likes to wear colorful silk scarves as headbands around her forehead, while her older sister always wears a ponytail, probably used to distinguishing her from each other since she was a child. Both of them have a little baby fat faces, wide and deep eyelids, high noses, and plump lips, which belong to rare twin beauties. When the two of them took to the stage for a belly dance, the cheers were even louder than when Heller took the stage.

Cheng Mo was also deeply impressed by this pair of innocent-looking girls, but they had turned into two horrible corpses. My sister's white neck was pierced by a bullet with a large bloody hole, and the colored silk scarf used to tie her hair was tightly tied around her neck. The purple-red blood scab spread from her neck to the camouflage uniform, and her eyes were closed, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, as if she was smiling when she died.

Her sister hugged her tightly, her back was densely covered with many bullet holes, judging from the posture at the time of death, her sister was when the shooting occurred, subconsciously hugged her sister, and used her back to block bullets for her sister, but unfortunately, neither of them survived.

Cheng Mo glanced at the side door of the Humvee, the bulletproof steel plate had almost been honeycomb by the large-caliber machine gun bullets, and he didn't know how lucky he was, but Ma Vas, who was driving the vehicle, survived.

Heller reached out and wiped Susan's eyelids so that the corpse could close them, she raised her bloodstained hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and whispered, "Susan is only 19 years old, and the Kuka sisters are only 18 years old, and they are both ....... younger than me."

"Heller, that's how war goes. Cheng Mo lowered his voice and said.

"I know, I know that's the case. I've been through it several times, sending away a lot of sisters......" Heller turned his head to look at Cheng Mo, "I just don't know when these days will end." ”

Cheng Mo really didn't know what to say, even though he had always been able to argue, he didn't know how to comfort this sad and desperate girl. Especially the death of these girls, which has something to do with him. Although even without his appearance, the ending of these girls will definitely not be good, but the truth is that he has more or less turned the clock of fate.

Cheng Mo has no sense of guilt about this, he did not appear at the base of queer people voluntarily, and the cause of his fault is not him, let alone his poisonous hand. So he whispered, "Now is not the time to discuss this, we have to go right away." ”

Heller nodded, raised her hand again and wiped her face with her sleeve, "Let's go!"

"We changed cars and the goal was a bit clear. Cheng Mo pointed to a discarded armed pickup truck not far away, "There should be a vehicle that can be driven there." ”

————————————————————

As the light grew darker, the four of them walked towards the burning Gobi, fearing that the Zhengfu army would come, and the Isis terrorists had already fled, leaving only abandoned armed pickups, some of which were scattered and burned like bonfires on the vast wasteland, and some of them lay in the shallow grass like wounded beasts.

Finally found an armed pickup truck in good condition, dragged the three corpses out of the car, and then wiped the blood stains casually, the four people got into the car, and Cheng Mo asked Khalid to drive towards Damascus.

"Wait!" Heller stopped.

"What's wrong?" Khalid asked.

"Go back to the Humvee first, and take my sisters with us, we swore that whoever was going to die must bring her back and bury her in the rose garden. Heller choked up, "That's our home. ”

"No, I can't. Cheng Mo didn't hesitate to stop it.

Heller turned his head to look at Cheng Mo, and said with great dissatisfaction: "It won't be delayed for long!"

Cheng Mo frowned slightly, "It's not a matter of time, the corpses of three people are two hundred and fifty catties, which will greatly affect our speed and make us lose mobility when we are pursued, let us ......"

"Why are you so cold-blooded??" Heller asked angrily and loudly, "...... they"

Cheng Mo knew that there was no need to intensify the conflict at this time, he knew what Heller was thinking, and he knew what she wanted to say, so he immediately interrupted Heller who was about to say words that destroyed the relationship, and said without emotion: "You put them in the tow box and it will be safe? If they are blown up by a missile, their bodies will be gone! Not to mention missiles, their bodies are thrown in the trunk like this and are beaten into a sieve by bullets, you are happy?"

Heller was silent, just sitting in the passenger seat and gasping heavily, tears filling her eyes again.

Cheng Mo still didn't tell Heller that she couldn't go back, he sighed in his heart, and said to Khalid: "Khalid, drive the car to the Humvee, let's find a place to bury them first." ”

Khalid hurriedly drove the armed pickup towards the ruined building. When they got to the Humvee, several people got out of the car, and Cheng Mo found the sapper shovel on the Humvee, and then found a high place not far from the puddle, and began to dig a pit with Khalid. Heller also quietly participated.

Athena stood beside her, staring blankly.

Soon, the three of them dug three shallow pits, and placed the bodies of the three flower girls in them separately and buried them.

The night is low, the starry sky is like a dome inlaid with countless crystals, and the surface of the lake is like a mirror, which looks bright and brilliant under the reflection of the starlight. Heller stood by the poplar tree, praying with great devotion, not at all as rebellious as he had begun in the car, dismissive of heaven, gardens, and the house of gold.

This made Cheng Mo feel more and more that people are really a contradictory species.

When Heller finished praying, she didn't know which pocket she had taken out a few pieces of candy and handed them to Khalid and then to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo waved his hand and refused.

Heller did not withdraw his hand, but raised his face, which had two obvious tear streaks, and said, "You must eat this candy, this is our custom in Syria. ”

Cheng Mo thought to himself that this meant that death was a sweet thing, or did he think that a little sweetness could dilute some grief? He calmly took it and took one for Athena.

Heller peeled off the candy wrapper, and the tears flowed down again, but the cold wind of the cold night quickly dried the tears again.

Khalid turned his head sadly.

Cheng Mo calmly stuffed the candy into his mouth, then turned his head and whispered in Khalid's ear, "Hold her." With that, he shoved Khalid hard and pushed him towards Heller.

Before Khalid could react, he collided with Heller, and he opened his arms for a moment, but he still retracted in embarrassment, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say "I'm sorry".

Cheng Mo shook his head.

It turned out that Heller took the initiative to hug Khalid, convulsing and crying in his arms. Khalid then hugged Heller, caressed her back, and began to comfort her in gentle words.

"Is death such a sad thing?" asked Athena, gazing at a heartbroken Heller, in French.

Cheng Mo was silent for a while, and when the fruit candy in his mouth melted away, he whispered with a hint of sweetness: "I don't know what to say, I only know that people have been thinking about what will happen after death for thousands of years, and the reason why religion can soothe people's hearts is because it solves this problem, whether it is reincarnation, heaven, or resurrection, it is to tell people not to be sad, and the person you love will live well after death." The reason why religion can take root in people's hearts the more war-torn places are, is because it can help people fear death. Didn't Khalid mention the JD concept of 'resurrection' in the car just now? I remembered James 5:16, which says, "So confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed." The power of the prayers of the righteous is very effective. He paused and looked at the poplar tree swaying in the cold wind, "I often feel that people of faith are truly blessed and comforted by their peace of mind. And I can only hold his hand in my dreams, in my dreams, and say goodbye to him......."

"You're not talking about Xie Minyun?"

"Nope. Cheng Mo shook his head, "I'm talking about my father." I brought it up because on the day of his funeral, I wasn't so sad, and it was a strange feeling, and I thought I was able to understand death rationally. Later, when I learned about something, I suddenly felt very regretful, and the sadness came even more violently...... So you ask me if death is such a sad thing, I don't know how to say it, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but if you can say goodbye well, it won't be so regrettable....."

Athena fell into thought, like a soul wandering outside the shell, and when Heller stopped crying, she came back to her senses and said softly, "I didn't snoop into your mind just now." I guessed from what you said we met at Siegel Point......"

"Siegel, I didn't expect you to figure out someone's mind. Cheng Mo said very unexpectedly.

Athena didn't respond to Cheng Mo's question, her lips pursed, her pupils glinting with an indecipherable glint.

The wind on the Gobi was getting stronger and stronger, the icy evening wind shook the leaves rustling, and Heller stood in the wind and murmured: "Susan's dream is to be a free woman, her idol is Vivian, she is a great warrior, a great woman......"

"Big Kuka's dream is to liberate the Kurt (Queer Autonomous Region), and she used to say: In the future, my sisters will be proud of me. ”

"Little Kuka said: I will use my life to pursue women's liberation........"

"Saizeriya said: I want to have freedom, I want to love whoever I want, I want to have the right to wear a dress freely! For this reason, I will follow in the footsteps of our martyrs, Alia and Chilan, to fulfill our mission. ”

Heller closed his eyes and said solemnly: "We will swear to follow in the footsteps of the martyrs, follow their path, and the martyrs will live forever." ”

The wind blows into the distance with their dreams.......

———————————————————————

Shot in the thigh and arm, Mavas could clearly feel his body temperature passing rapidly, his eyes were dizzy, his vision was blurry, and the steering wheel was extremely heavy, and he gradually released the accelerator, trying to lie on the steering wheel and fall asleep.

Suddenly, a warm golden light enveloped him, like the warm sunshine of early summer. This gave him the illusion that at this moment, he was not in the cold and dark wilderness of the Gobi, but on a sunny tropical beach.

"A miracle, or maybe I'm already dead..... "Maswass turned his head to look at his partner who had died in the passenger seat, his cherished AK74M in his hand, his eyes still open, but leaning limply against the door like a ragdoll. Wanting to wake up his partner, Mawass said in a hoarse throat, "Jafar, get up quickly and see the Creator has come......"

Naturally, Jafar, who was already dead, had no way to answer him, and the sound of broken glass rang out.

When Mavas looked back, he saw that the windshield had shattered into a cobweb, and the tip of a black heel had suddenly stepped through the windshield. In the brilliant light, those broken glass slags are like pearls scattered all over the ground, emitting a charming light, and in this psychedelic scene, even brighter than the light is a red-haired woman standing on the hood.

The evening breeze blew her long fluffy red hair, revealing a smooth and full forehead, and her long, narrow and charming eyes were more seductive than the crescent moon, especially the green pupils, like a Persian cat hiding in the night, emerald green like a glowing gem.

Never before had Mahwass seen such a beautiful woman, even the prettiest girl in the queer Germans, Heller, was far inferior to her.

The woman in front of her was as perfect as a marble sculpture in a temple.

If she hadn't been wearing a glossy waist-cinching suit and a tight miniskirt, with long straight legs covered with seductive black silk, Maswass would have thought he was seeing an angel.

But she is clearly not an angel, but from hell of frightening beauty - the devil.

The Toyota pickup truck, which was still driving at high speed, was stepped on by her, like a pirate ship erected directly, and the strange red-haired woman, like a nail nailed to the hood, did not pay attention to the great Newton at all, and crossed in the eyes of Mawas, almost parallel to the ground. He heard the sound of the seat belt breaking, but he could only keep his eyes wide open, staring in vain at the other man's bright face, and rolled out of the cab.

When he rolls to the redhead's feet, the other man stomps on his chest, preventing him from falling to the ground. The Toyota pickup truck also made a "creaking" wail, followed by a "bang" of the rear wheels and landed on the solid Gobi, splashing countless dust.

Mavas could clearly feel the sharp heel between his ribs, and he could even hear the sound of the heel rubbing against his ribs, the sound was almost tooth-sore, but he didn't feel the slightest pain. I don't know if it's because I took an overdose of "fenmetalin", or because I've run out of oil and am completely numb to the pain.

Anyway, he just coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and like a dead fish, he lay motionless on the hood as if he were fated.

"The car is driving well!"

The redhead looked down at him and smiled, but Mavas pretended not to understand English and just looked up at the starry sky overhead. He didn't feel the pain, but he could feel the passage of life. At such a fatal moment, he remembered that when he was a child, his mother would always hold him on summer nights and sing "Lullaby" to lull him to sleep. At that time, he was still living in Damascus, his father ran a small car repair shop, and he was very interested in cars since he was a child.

Since he was a child, he liked to follow his father in the garage and study various car parts. When he grew up, he was most passionate about driving, and he preferred cars to girls. He remembered the craziest time was to drive the BMW M3 that was put in the factory for maintenance, and although nothing happened, he was beaten by his father until the skin was opened. His mother hugged him and cried, but he felt that the beating was well worth it. He thought that he must become a serious racing car driver in the future, driving all kinds of good cars openly, but he didn't expect that the war would change everything, and the bomb would blow up his father's garage and kill his father and mother.

And he couldn't get into a racing car, so he had to drive an armed pickup truck.

"Can't understand English?" the redhead looked suspicious, "Do you want to live?"

Mavas remained indifferent, he didn't feel the pain, he didn't feel the cold, he just felt an inexplicable feeling of comfort being trampled under the feet of this woman.

"Hell, why doesn't the Chosen One system deserve a translation system!" the redhead lifted her right foot and pulled her heels out of Mavas's chest, and blood poured out of the half-coin-sized hole.

Maswas's only felt the sweet smell run down his trachea, blood stuck in his throat and nasal passages, causing him to cough violently.

"Doctor!" cried the redhead.

Moments later, a man carrying a medical kit and a soldier wrapped in a turban ran up. The man with the medical kit began to stop the bleeding, inject him and treat his injuries.

The soldier wrapped in a red turban began to act as a mouthpiece for the redhead, and the interpreter stood on the front wheel of the pickup, peeked at the redhead's smooth black thighs, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Lord Shish asks you, do you still want to live?"

Maswass smiled at the redhead, "I understand English." He laughed heartily, as if he had the pleasure of fooling the strong.

The redhead stroked her long hair, which was blown by the cold wind, and smiled sweetly at Mawas, she quickly lifted her long legs, hung the heel of her hand over the translator's temple, and the man who was still staring at her thighs with blazing eyes just now, his head burst open like a watermelon, and the red and white flesh splashed the doctor and Mawas, but it did not touch Shish's body at all.

The doctor who was treating Mahwass trembled with fright, and instantly sat down on the ground, but pressed against the viscous plasma and plasma, and immediately snorted with fear on his face.

Mavas just closed his eyes, dodging the droplets of blood and brains that splattered on his face.

The redhead stepped on Mawas's face, pressed her heel against his eyeball, and chuckled, "If you don't want your head to ....." she lowered her heel and poked her heel into Mavas's eye sockets..... I was trampled on my high heels little by little, and I honestly explained how the people in the car left. ”

I don't know what the doctor injected him just now, Mawas's body got rid of numbness and recovered a lot. This was not a good thing for him, because he finally experienced a piercing pain, like a thousand needles piercing his brain and stirring, and the whole person was in pain until every inch of his skin was spasming.

Mavas gritted his teeth to keep himself from making a sound, but he couldn't help but howl miserably. Actually, he wasn't afraid, but it hurt too much. Warm blood flowed out of his eyes like tears, and his nails clawed at the hood with a cacophony of rubbing sounds. He thought, "This paint is really badly done, it's not smooth at all." ”

"Don't make nasty noises. The redhead removed the heels from his face and stepped on his right hand again, crushing it like a cigarette butt.

Maswass gasped as he heard the crunch of his right knuckle shattering, and the pain spread from his hand to his brain, and his skull seemed to be stretched apart by something, swelling to the point of shattering completely. His body curled up involuntarily at the redhead's feet, like a cooked shrimp.

Maswass felt a little sad, knowing that he might never be able to drive again.

Crushing his hand, the redhead lifted her foot contentedly, wiped the bloodstained soles of her shoes on Mawas's clothes, lowered her head and comforted softly: "Don't worry too much about your injuries, our doctor will treat you well." She crouched down and stared at Maswas's black face, "By the way, you really don't need to resist hard, you queer Germans have cooperated with us, what can't you explain?"

"No way! We queer Germans will never be able to cooperate with you ISIS terrorists......"

"One, I'm not one of Isis's pigs, and second, I don't have to lie to you. ”

Maswass rolled his throat, "And who are you, what are you doing with me?"

"I'm not interested in you kind of garbage. The redhead said contemptuously, "I'm looking for the two white men in this car just now, one named Wendy and the other named Rektzka." ”

"I don't know the two people you mentioned. I haven't seen any other Caucasian people except you....."

"What a hard mouth!" said the redhead, boredly, "to wait for your chieftain, Tamer, to ask you?"

"Colonel Tammel?" said Maswas, who sat up with his left hand, leaned against the A-pillar with the glass residue, gasping, "You devil from hell, don't try to lie to me!"

"Look!" the redhead glanced at the end of the sky, the convoy in the dark night was like a field of fireflies, they spread rapidly across the Gobi like a wave, "he will be there soon." ”

"Hehe!" Maswass laughed, and the blood splattered from his mouth again, but the blood foam seemed to meet the extremely transparent glass and flowed down the air as if it were about to touch the redhead. Maswass looked up at the starlight again, those silver stars formed a band of light, across the center of the dark blue sky, and the other stars were densely distributed on both sides of the Milky Way, like diamonds set overhead. He remembered the queer ballad his mother had sang.

Come, Saladin, the most honorable man in all Jerusalem,

Please stop moving forward and listen to our songs!

Never before has a camel passed me,

Unless its rider stops to listen to our sweet song,

Joy and wisdom from our songs,

And then move forward safely.

For we know perfectly well that in the forsaken wilderness,

The hardships that the gods have caused queer Germans,

But we are never afraid.

For the clear and wise God,

In the land of plenty, they know what is happening......

Maswass put his hand in his trouser pocket, grabbed the "Glory Bullet", and flicked the safety open with his thumb, and after a soft sound, the fierce fire flew up in the redhead's footsteps, and the flesh and blood splashed with the firelight, and the hood burst open instantly, and there was a thunderous roar.

In the light of the burning fire, he whispered, "Mother......."

Caught off guard, Xi Shi subconsciously used teleportation to dodge, Mawas's self-explosion did not cause her any damage, but forced her to stand on the Gobi Desert with both feet, looked down at the gravel ground under her feet, she frowned, and said in disgust: "Why don't you want to die? These filthy Middle Easterners are really disgusting." ”

Instead of glancing at the shattered Maswas, Shish jumped into another pickup truck and was about to make a call when he saw the UNICAT custom off-road motorhome in view. She flew into the sky, flew from a low altitude to the side of the off-road RV, and then used teleportation to enter the cabin, and said to Costa Lucas sitting on the sofa: "My lord, the target is not in this car. ”

Costa Lucas, who had been sitting in a relaxed position, stopped his back and said with a gloomy face, "What? Not in the car?"

"Yes, not in the car. "Don't blame me, you told me not to act rashly before you came!"

Costa Lucas suspected that the man with the pseudonym "Ryktka" was the "Lord of the Plague", and of course he would not let Shishi make the first move, and began to support Shishi first, which is why he did so. Although Xi Shi has always been obedient, and her father, mother, and family are under his control, as a demon god of the "Black Death" organization, or a demon god in charge of the intelligence organization, of course it is impossible to trust anyone.

Costa Lucas didn't regret his decision, but felt that he was careless because he had the information that Athena couldn't use the carrier, he stood up, frowned and asked, "Who is in the car?"

"Three queer soldiers. After a pause, Shish added, "All of them are dead, and one of them committed suicide." ”

Costa Lucas walked over to the monitor, switched to the perspective of the drone tracking the Toyota pickup, looked at the screen and said, "The drone has been following them, how did they get out of the car?"

"I don't know. Before the results could be answered, the queer soldier blew himself up. Shishi said, "Blow yourself up, these Middle Easterners still have a hand." ”

"Forget it, now is not the time to look into this. Since he blew himself up, it must mean that Athena and the man escaped. Costa Lucas turned back and asked, "There shouldn't be Heller and Khalid among the dead, right?"

Shishi thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "There shouldn't be." ”

"That's okay, let Tamer and Khalid's family send them a video, they all have mobile phones, as long as they are close to Damascus and have an internet connection, they can receive messages....."

"So what are we going to do now?" asked Shisch.

"Of course, let the queer Germans and ISIS coalition forces advance towards Damascus and force martial law in Damascus. We must not allow them to escape into Damascus without any problems. ”

—————————————————————————

Got rid of the tracking of drones and the cover of the dark night, Cheng Mo and the others never encountered interception again. Khalid drove an armed pickup truck under the guidance of Heller, and drove through the outer defense line of the Zhengfu army, gradually approaching Damascus, but the closer to Damascus, the more villages there were, and the more tightly defended the Zhengfu army became.

Thirty kilometers from Damascus, near a small town called Adela, they saw armed pickup trucks patrolling the country roads, and checkpoints were set up along the way, especially at the intersections, where a large number of Zhengfu soldiers were stationed.

They could only stay away from the country roads, try to bypass the guards from the ponds and fields, and enter Damascus, but the Zhengfu army seemed to be mobilized in its entirety, ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and defended the perimeter without any loopholes, and they made a great circle, but they could not find a position to quietly enter the suburbs of Damascus.

"It's strange, all the way to Alhabad is under the control of the Zhengfu army, we used to sneak into Damascus from here, and we never met soldiers, why is it that it is still full of people in the middle of the night?" said Heller, puzzled.

Cheng Mo said quietly: "It may be that the ISIS terrorists pursued us just now and attracted the attention of the Zhengfu army, or they did not give up pursuing us and are still behind." ”

"Then it's a bit of a big problem. Heller said.

Cheng Mo thought about it, avoided Damascus and continued to go south, there were only three options: Libanon, Jordan and Isellet, Isele definitely can't go, that belongs to the net, Jotan will not be better than Syria, delaying it for a long time will only give the enemy more opportunities, only Libanon's political situation is relatively stable, due to the discord with Isellet, it is not under the control of the Star Gate.

Comparatively speaking, it will be safer. Assuming that there is no way to enter Damascus, then Cheng Mo will definitely choose to go to Libanon, so he asked: "Is there a way to enter Libanon?"

"It's more difficult. Heller shook his head, "Libanon and our Syria are only more than 300 kilometers apart, they have always guarded against our Syrian refugees, the border is very tightly guarded, some places have even planted mines, and ground monitoring radars have been arranged, it is better to find a way to enter Damascus....."

The hesitant rearview mirror was already broken, and there were no lights in the car, Cheng Mo couldn't see Heller's expression clearly when he sat in the back seat, and there was no way to judge whether Heller didn't want to waste time to say this, or whether Leybanon was really not easy to enter, he said tentatively: "It's really not good, we will abandon the car and find a way to sneak into Damascus." ”

"I think that's the best thing to do. ”

Cheng Mo listened to Heller's sincerity, carefully considered it, and felt that the risk of detouring into Libanon was a little more uncontrollable, so he asked, "Didn't you queer Germans plant spies near Damascus?"

"Of course, there is a refugee camp set up by the Chinese people near the Duma, and there are our spies there, and if you say that, we can indeed go there and let Uncle Stanger think of a way. ”

"The refugee camp built by the Chinese?" asked Cheng Mo.

"Yes. Heller said.

Cheng Mo didn't expect that at this time, he could still have something to do with the motherland thousands of miles away, although it didn't seem to be useful, but he felt that this was more or less a favorable point, maybe when he ripped off the human skin mask, the refugees would be more willing to help him for the sake of being Chinese?

He immediately decided, "Then we will go to the refugee camp in Duma now." ”

————————————————————

The armed pickup turned around, but they still couldn't take the road, and had to go far along the gravel road in the countryside through the potholes. Syria is not very urbanized, and even though it is only about 30 kilometers from Damascus, it is still a wilderness, but looking to the west, you can faintly see towns, villages, houses and farmland. Although it looks very backward and has no atmosphere of modern civilization, compared with the deserted Gobi, it is still full of fireworks and does not have that feeling of emptiness and loneliness.

With Cheng Mo's early warning, they evaded several waves of inspections and successfully reached the vicinity of Duma, which is located on Highway 5 into Damascus, which belongs to the northern gateway of Damascus, and is naturally heavily guarded.

Fortunately, the refugee camp is built on the edge of the town, as long as they walk over it, there is a super radar called Chengmo, and the probability of being detected is not high.

The four men abandoned the car and traveled for about half an hour, and when they were about to arrive at the refugee camp, Heller's mobile phone rang dripping, and in the quiet and dangerous night, the sound was so loud that it startled Heller and Khalid, and both of them stopped for the first time, raised their guns, and looked nervously in all directions.

Cheng Mo and Athena, who were walking behind, were very calm, Cheng Mo pointed to Athena's trouser pocket and said, "It's your mobile phone ringing." ”

Heller blushed and let out an "ah", quickly took out the phone, and hurriedly turned off the sound.

Khalid breathed a sigh of relief, put down the submachine gun hanging from his neck, and also took out his mobile phone, and asked, "Is there a signal?"

Heller glanced at her "Xiaomi" phone and read the text message, "Welcome to Damascus." ”

Seeing Cheng Mo looking at the mobile phone in his hand, Khalid hesitated for a moment, did not choose to turn it on, but smiled and said, "I feel that Damascus is not very welcoming to us." The joke was too embarrassing, and in order to relieve the coldness, he put the phone in his pocket again, and said to himself, "I waited in Damascus to talk to my aunt and them on the phone, and I guess they haven't gotten up yet." ”

Khalid's words seemed to remind Heller, and she immediately said, "I'll call my dad and ask how he's doing." ”

Heller couldn't wait to point out the address book, and was about to find the landline number in the combat command room, but Cheng Mo reached out and pressed the screen, and he said softly: "Heller, don't call, no one will answer." ”

Heller paused for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Did your father tell you anything about you when we left, and that everything was up to me?"

"What do you mean?" asked Heller again.

Although it is the same sentence, the tone is completely different. Even if Cheng Mo didn't understand the micro-expressions, she could see the worry and fear in Heller's eyes, and it was obvious that she had gotten some kind of ominous premonition from Cheng Mo's words.

"Your father told you to leave Syria with me. Cheng Mo looked at Khalid again, and said lightly, "Khalid, if you want, you can also come with us, I will get you the identity of a Europa country, and if you want to pick up your family when the time comes, I will also get it for you!"

The great reward that fell from the sky left Khalid at a loss, and before he could reflect that his life dream was about to come true, he was distracted by an angry Heller.

Heller turned around and grabbed Cheng Mo by the collar and shouted, "What are you talking about! There's no way my father will let me leave Syria!"

Athena opened Heller's right hand that was holding Cheng Mo's collar and said coldly, "Don't touch him." ”

Cheng Mo stopped Athena, and Athena put down her hand. Perhaps it was Athena's cold face and emotionless voice that made Heller sober up a little, she looked down at the mobile phone in her left hand, which was still the sign of the call, and she whispered weakly: "Quickly answer the phone, quickly answer the phone." In fact, Heller knew in his heart that there must be someone in the operations command room, and if there was no one there, it would mean that the entire town had been controlled by the enemy, or that they had all evacuated.

He took out the note that Dr. Hazard had given him from his pocket and handed it to Heller, "This is the bank account that your father gave me, and I left you 30,000 euros in it, and the password is your birthday." ”

Heller's eyes, which were swollen like peaches, filled with tears again, and she looked at the note and shouted hoarsely, "You lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me......" She snatched the note and tore it to shreds.

Cheng Mo had already kept the account in his heart, so he didn't stop Heller's movements, he said lightly: "You have to calm down, it won't help to do this." ”

Heller hung up the phone, and with trembling hands, she dialed again, but there was still no answer, so she dialed another phone, again unanswered, and in the silence of the night, a long bell rang, like a long sigh. She kept repeating the call, looked up at Cheng Mo, and asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me, what happened?"

Cheng Mo shook his head and said, "I'm not a god, and I don't know what's going on. All I know is that you queer Germans must have encountered a powerful enemy, and your father found it difficult to deal with it, so he told you to leave. Then he added, "Honestly, it's a wise choice, and you should do what your father wants." ”

Heller stared at Cheng Mo's expressionless face with red eyes, she seemed to suppress the urge to vent something, pressed the phone that rang with a long tone, stuffed it into her pocket and walked back, "No, I have to go back." ”

Cheng Mo grabbed Heller's arm, "You just go back to die." ”

Heller tried to shake off Cheng Mo's hand, but in vain, she endured a certain emotion that was on the verge of the limit, and said: "Even if I am sent to death, I must go back." ”

"Your father said it might be a little difficult to get you away, and if he couldn't convince you, he said I could do anything. Cheng Mo paused and said, "I don't want you to let your energy go to waste on carrying you out of Damascus." ”

"If you want to leave, you can leave on your own! Go to the refugee camp and find Uncle Stanger, he will help you! Anyway, I won't go, I must go back." ”

"I don't have time to reason with you right now. Cheng Mo said coldly, "Give you ten seconds to think about it." ”

Without hesitation, Heller said, "I don't need to think about it. ”

The evening breeze rustled the low bushes in the fields, mixed with the faint chirping of insects, Heller's voice was not loud, but it was as heavy as iron stone, and smashed a hole in Cheng Mo's heart. Cheng Mo was in a trance, he felt that Heller was indeed a brave girl, at least much braver than him, unlike him, who wanted to pursue his father's death, but looked forward and cowered, which was of course a wise rationality, but of course a kind of cowardly selfishness.

"Let me go. Heller said.

At this moment, Cheng Mo was a little hesitant, he didn't know what he was doing right. However, just as Cheng Mo was thinking, Heller's mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated twice.

Heller hurriedly took out her mobile phone, it was her WeChat message, and she said overjoyed: "Uncle Tammel!"

Cheng Mo let go of the hand that was holding Heller's arm and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Heller stared at the screen and said happily, "He said they had escaped from Asura's base and asked where we are now!"

Seeing Heller crackling and starting to type, Cheng Mo pressed Heller's hand, "Don't use WeChat, this is the software of the lighthouse country, if you reply to the message, it is likely that the people of the lighthouse will find out our location." ”

"Lighthouse Country?" said Heller disapprehensively, "What are you doing with us little people?"

"Have you forgotten about the Apache helicopters that are chasing us?"

Heller's expression suddenly became solemn, "What do you mean....... The people of the Lighthouse Nation want to arrest you two?"

Cheng Mo acquiesced, and he said in his heart: Heller really realized that the Queen Mother was aware, and it was no wonder that Dr. Hazard would want to send her away, so simple, in a place like Syria, where the situation is complicated, it is estimated that she will not live for too long. He grabbed Heller's phone and said, "Give me the phone." ”

Heller shook her head, and then she asked, "Who are you, and was it because of you that ISIS attacked us yesterday?"

Before Cheng Mo could answer, a message from Colonel Tamer popped up on the screen again, it was a picture of Dr. Adjara in a coma, "Your father's condition has deteriorated again, and now there is no way to keep his mind awake, we need the help of Dr. Wendy and Dr. Rekcka again, I know that they are in a hurry to leave Syria, so Heller, don't tell them the truth, you have to find a way to delay time, and reply to me as soon as possible, tell me where you are, and I will rush over to join you." ”

Although Cheng Mo could speak Saudi, his knowledge of those tadpole-like lines was extremely limited, he just glanced at the screen that lit up in the dark, and then looked into Heller's eyes tightly and asked, "What is he talking about?"

Heller shuddered slightly, avoided looking at Cheng Mo, lowered his eyes and said, "Uncle Tamer said, my father, my father ........" She didn't make up a decent lie for a long time, so she gritted her teeth and said, "He said that my father's condition has deteriorated and needs your help!

"He's lying to you. Cheng Mo said.

Heller said firmly, "No way! Uncle Tamer couldn't lie to me. He never lies!"

Cheng Mo asked: "Isn't it Damascus that there will be a signal?"

Heller explained: "My father and Uncle Tamer have satellite phones in the three high-level positions, but after the relationship with the lighthouse broke down, they didn't want to be locked to the exact location, so they didn't use it, and now in this case, it's not abnormal to use it." ”

Heller's explanation was reasonable, but Cheng Mo knew that it was unlikely that Colonel Tamer would escape, not to mention that with Athena's surgical level, the possibility of Dr. Eden Hazard's condition suddenly deteriorating was almost none. Although there is a big flaw in this statement, the object that the other party wants to deceive is not himself, but Heller.

As long as Heller cared about his father's safety, he had to choose to believe that this was a very hidden form of coercion. Heller had no choice, either betray them or listen to the other party's words and cooperate, even if the conversation was discovered by Cheng Mo, without Heller's help, it would definitely be much more difficult for him and Athena to enter Damascus.

The other party can also achieve part of the purpose.

"Very insidious character, he is well versed in human nature, unlike the methods of Colonel Tamer. Cheng Mo thought to himself, "In this case, Heller will definitely not go with him, even if she gets her to Europa, maybe she will find a way to run back, is there any point in wasting energy on her?"

The phone vibrated again, but Cheng Mo grabbed the phone, Heller couldn't see what Colonel Tamer sent again, she pulled the phone hard, but the phone was frozen in mid-air and didn't move, she said angrily: "I'm not allowed to send it, I'm not allowed to read it?"

Cheng Mo also wanted to grasp more about the other party, ordinary people may not be able to understand the other party through a few simple words, but Cheng Mo could grasp a general direction, so he let go of his hand, but he was ready to use the "Seven Sins Sect" to destroy Heller's mobile phone at any time.

Heller retrieved her phone and couldn't wait to turn the screen back on, this time with a video from Colonel Tamer. The first thing that appears in the footage is the Asura's base after the Great War.

The entire town was devastated, black smoke reaching into the sky was everywhere, the neat buildings were in ruins, and the roads were clogged with broken tanks and armored vehicles, all of which were heavy to the point of palpitation.

Except for the corpses that lay in between.

Then the camera pans to the truck. Decayed and desperate old people, women and children huddled in the trailer of the truck, begging for mercy from the Creator with tears in their eyes.

This bitter cry is worse than the fire that burns everything.

Then there were the wounded soldiers lying in the wilderness, who could not be treated in time, like beasts waiting for death to suffer in pain, and could only gasp helplessly, waiting for the final relief.

The image scorched Heller's senses, and her tears poured out again, unable to stop.

After the video, Colonel Tamer sent another message: "Those people were arrested by the Lighthouse Men at the behest of Ryktzka and Wendy, and we queer Germans have just suffered an unjustified disaster and paid a huge price to protect them both." For the sake of the Creator, they must also help us queer Germans solve some difficulties, at least get some medicine, help us save these poor brothers and sisters, these poor young people are bleeding and dying for the two of them......."

"Heller, you have to think of a way. For queer virtue!"

Even if Cheng Mo didn't understand the text behind, he could judge what this "Colonel Tammer" who didn't know the truth or falsehood said through the content of the video, and he said lightly: "This video can't be shot by Colonel Tamer." The angle of the first video is clearly in the air......"

Heller's tear-stained face wailed, "At this time, you only care about these things, and you can't see what we queer Germans have suffered for you? They shouldn't have been! If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have been attacked, their homes wouldn't have been burned, they wouldn't have been killed...... They endured all this for you, but you only care about the perspective......" Heller choked up, "You're so cold-blooded!

Cheng Mo sneered and said, "So I went to you queer people voluntarily?

Heller was choked by Cheng Mo's words, she blushed, opened her mouth several times to say something to refute, but in the end she couldn't say anything, and hung her head in pain, like a dying little beast. The teardrops were like beads with broken threads, "popping and clicking" one by one on the dark green field, and she seemed to have lost her soul, and whispered: "It's all my fault." It's all my fault. She knelt down straight, her knee hitting the gravel road with a crisp sound, "Then can you please help us, no matter what the cost, I am willing." ”

Cheng Mo was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "I can't help you except find a way to get a batch of medicines for you." ”

Heller buried his head and grabbed Cheng Mo's pants, "I know you can, you're different from ordinary people, you must be able to." ”

Cheng Mo knew that Heller was not stupid, probably believing his judgment and knowing that the other party was threatening her with the entire queer Germans. He sighed in his heart, if Athena hadn't thrown away her Ulopolos, if he could use 100 percent of his power, he wouldn't mind helping the queer people, but he couldn't have taken such a big risk to solve the queer puzzle right now.

So he said coldly: "Heller, what you have to learn from your father is not how to face fear, but not to beg for mercy at any time. When you want the other person to solve a problem for you, you must first think about what you can bring to the other person, and beg for nothing. He looked down at Heller who was kneeling at his feet, and when he saw Heller's appearance crawling in the dust, his eyes were a little stinging, but he still said ruthlessly, "Your father didn't betray me in exchange for my promise to you, I hope you don't let him down." ”

Heller clenched her fists, she stood up, pinched the phone that had been quietly destroyed by Cheng Mo, and silently walked in the opposite direction.

This time, Cheng Mo did not stop Heller.

He finally felt that in the most important moments of his life, he had to decide where he should go.

However, he looked at Heller's back, and felt a loss in his heart, he was not a man who was used to breaking his word, and he promised Dr. Hazard but failed to do it, which made him feel that a certain chapter of fate had been torn off a few pages. If he wanted Xie Minyun to be here, he would definitely do everything to help queer people, but he was not Xie Minyun, and Xie Minyun was no longer there. He thought that Heller's misfortune seemed to be a little similar to his own, and what could he do if he was Heller?

"If I were Heller, there is a high probability that I would follow him and leave, and then think about how to get revenge in the future, and if the enemy is too strong, maybe I will live for the rest of my life......"

"He's really a 'rational' person. Cheng Mo whispered to himself, he looked away from Heller's back and looked at Khalid with a sad face, "Khalid, what are you going to do?"

"What, what?" Khalid watched Heller away in despair, as if he had completely forgotten the prize that Cheng had acquiesced to him.

Cheng Mo said patiently: "I just said that as long as you are willing to go with us, we will send you to Europa, and arrange an identity for you, and we will also help you pick up your family when the time comes." ”

"I ...... I ......"

The coveted luck came, but Khalid was entangled, he looked at Cheng Mo, and then at Heller, who was getting farther and farther away, his expression was extremely struggling. When Heller was about to disappear into the night, he finally made a decision, and said with great difficulty: "You have given me enough money to take my family to Europa, and now I can't leave them behind, I can't let them go." ”

Cheng Mo nodded, and asked again: "Then do you want to go into Damascus with us and be separated, or do you want to go with Heller now." ”

Khalid was once again in a dilemma.

Cheng Mo knew what Khalid was thinking, and Khalid was also a great insecurity factor for him, so he deliberately tried to say: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." But you have to think it out for yourself, it will be safer to go with us, but walking with Heller, accompanying him in her most difficult times, you may be able to reap love, depending on how you choose. ”

"I ...... I...... I want to ......," Khalid plucked up his courage, "I want to go with Heller." ”

"No problem. Cheng Mo looked into Khalid's pocket, "But I need your phone, I hope you can sell your phone to me, anyway, if you want to go with Heller, you won't need it." ”

Khaled, who had made a decision, breathed a long sigh of relief, and he took out some old "OnePlus Phone" from his pocket and said, "I'll give it to you, it's not worth a lot of money anyway." ”

Cheng Mo took the phone from Khaled's hand, Khalid looked in Heller's direction and said eagerly: "The boot code is my sister's birthday 130421, Mr. Rekcka, Ms. Wendy, then I'll go." ”

"Wait. Cheng Mo looked at Athena and smiled bitterly, "I'll borrow you another watch......

Athena nodded.

Cheng Mo took off the backpack on his back, took out Athena's black box from it, and handed it to Athena to open. Athena took a piece of Uloporos and handed it to Cheng Mo, who stuffed the Vacheron Constantin-shaped watch into Khaled's hand, and said solemnly: "I will exchange this watch for your mobile phone, be sure to put it away, and when you encounter difficulties, put it on, maybe I can find a way for you." ”

Khalid looked at the expensive watch in his hand and was stunned, he quickly shook his head and said, "This is too valuable!"

"There are a lot of things that aren't too expensive compared to that. Cheng Mo patted Khalid on the shoulder and said, "Put the watch away and chase after Heller, or it will be too late." ”

Khalid wanted to say something, but Cheng Mo had already turned around, he carried his bag, held Halid's mobile phone and whispered to Athena: "Let's go." ”

The two men walked side by side in the direction of the camp, and Khalid chased after Heller.

Waiting for Khaled's footsteps to fade away, Cheng Mo raised his hand to open Khalid's mobile phone, after entering the boot password, the phone began to retrieve the signal, a moment later, Cheng Mo received the first text message, he glanced at it, and knew that it was sent by Syria Telecom: Welcome to Syria.

After a few seconds, he received a second text message video, Cheng Mo raised his mobile phone and clicked on it, and Afafu's cute and immature face jumped out of the screen, she slapped the camera with tears, and said pitifully: "Brother, help me." Brother, help me. ”

Things were as Cheng Mo expected, but he was extremely sad. He didn't continue watching the video, and just turned off the screen. The winds of this night were extremely cold and heavy, and they blew across Cheng Mo's shoulders, making Cheng Mo feel that it was difficult to move an inch. He looked at Athena and said with some disappointment: "Am I a demon with a watch in exchange for a few lives?"

Athena didn't look at Cheng Mo, nor did she show any surprise, but said indifferently: "For the real demon, you are too kind. ”

Cheng Mo didn't know what to say, he looked at the mobile phone in his hand and felt that he was indeed a demon. A girl's voice whispered in his left ear: "Cheng Mo, I'll watch you, I won't let you be a bad person." ”

He turned his head sharply and looked to the left, looking for the girl who had tried to redeem him, only to see a deep silence.
