After the gunfire, silence returned to the area, even if it was only temporary.
C2 wasn't far away from us, only a mere two hundred meters, which in normal times would be a matter of 25-30 seconds, it was now separated from us like a moat.
C2's current location is a villa, once the main residence of Mayor Craig, independent of the city center area.
A two hundred meter radius from the villa was his private botanical gardens, expensive plants that had been burned almost to the ground by the war. In a region like Arkalia, with its arid climate and large temperature differences between day and night, it was truly hard to imagine the amount of money and manpower that had been required to preserve these plants, and the owner's outlandish extravagance was exposed.
The entire mayor's mansion is connected to the interior and exterior by a single highway, surrounded by a wall in addition to the botanical gardens, making it easily defensible. The only highway and the wide angle of fire gave Squad 5 the advantage of removing the M2HB heavy machine gun from the Humvee to defend against incoming enemies.
Scattered fires burned in the wasteland, swaying in the wind.
Noticing the gunfire in our area counter . GOVERNMENT . GOVERNMENT. Army would soon arrive. After thinking about it, I give the order, "The first group, Ji Ling, Ji Han, and Luo Bing will go first, the second group, Jiang Li and Lu Evening Qing, and Liang Dong and I will break off."
"There's no need for me to go first in this situation, right?" Ji Ling instantly expressed her dissatisfaction, "Ladies first, I'll join you guys."
"What? So much pussy?" Lu Evening Qing directly sprayed, "Look down on master? A burst of probing hurry up and catch it for master."
"This kind of obvious safe road also need to master explore the road?"
"Playing with your machismo."
"He's the first to go." Anyway, it is also the last to go, Liang Dong does not panic at all, find the right place to set up the machine gun, "Whether it is dangerous or safe, he must be the first to go."
"Change it then." I said to the crowd, "The second group switches with Jiang Li Lu Evening Qing, it can cover us."
"Actually, we should be the ones to break the back." Jiang Li pursed her lips, "Whether it's out of deterrence or killing us is more useful."
"I'm not sure if they'll go around the back." I pointed a finger at the road we came from, "If they take the same way as us to come you all don't have heavy firepower, what will happen to girls on the battlefield we've just seen it clearly at the mall."
"They're girls too, why do they go second group? And squad weapons are considered what heavy weapons ah."
Liang Dong: Feeling offended.
"Luo Bing has C4."
"Then you're the captain shouldn't you retreat first?"
"Please." I spread my hands, "There's been no such thing as a cadre retreating first since my great-grandfather's generation, okay? Hurry up and don't waste time."
"Shit!" Ji Ling cursed and led the way, I set up my gun against the cover and opened my comms, "C2, three of our members are approaching, take cover."
"Roger that. Mission ordered."
Leaning against the gray wall I followed up with a further sense of its fragility, my weight had caused it to lean a bit, as if a bullet flying from somewhere would cause a chain effect on the wall. That said, wasn't it a ridiculous and ironic reincarnation that the last person who needed its protection had died at the hands of my gun, and now I needed it to protect me?
I winced at the thought, what a j8 evil thought.
Putting the attention back on the scope, I have a new discovery, "Two targets, distance ... What's going on?"
The lens of the person looks extremely incongruous, a small body dragging that for him extremely heavy and huge AK47. from the normal distance scale to see the other side of the distance should be 180 meters, but the other side of the distance of 120 meters or so, but also in the close than the I determined that the other side of the distance.
"Distance 120 meters, in close proximity ... "Throat stuck, there is a breath from the knot of the throat all the way to the lobes of the lungs, " . ... two armed minors."
Boy Scouts.
Those two kids, one large and one small, looked to be only were in their late teens, an age at which I was still reading the Tree of Wisdom in elementary school.
On the SAFC's public forums there had been a member of House A with the ID name of James Bond who had sent out his own account of experiencing child scouts during a mission, and due to a moment of hesitation due to the children, one of his teammates had been laid up in a field hospital as a result.
Jihan didn't say a word, her gun pointing in the same direction as me, her shoulders twitching slightly. I knew that in her eyes as well as mine was even a figure struggling to sidestep an AK and swaying.
"F##K!" cursed Leung angrily, raising the gun vigorously in a fit of rage all at once, his shoulder dead against the stock, his right index finger on the edge of the trigger strike, not speaking.
"Captain ..."
For the first time, I saw a change of color on Luo Bing's face, her brows knitted tightly, her face full of tangled and helpless, beads of sweat seeping out of her forehead bit by bit.
But even in this situation her tone was still undoubtedly calm: "Fire?"
Everyone was encountering such a situation for the first time. All were equally nervous.
I bit my lip, the taste of rust blooming on the tip of my tongue, and refrained from speaking. Earlier in the forum to see the boy scout's remarks I although very shocked but still did not care, because at that time I think as long as the enemy I have to go down, labor adults are not afraid of still afraid of you a little kid?
So at that time also did not take this matter to heart. Now it seems that I was very wrong. Human beings are born to protect the weaker than their own kind of instinct exists, not to mention that this instinct has been amplified in my education from childhood to adulthood. It's not nice to be punched in the face by a keyboard warrior.
I heard the owner say that the shooting wasn't that tough and didn't really look at it, and fuck, now it's come back to haunt me. How did these two kids run so fast? Damn it can not I shot you all legs broken!
I said nothing while my heart was rippling.
Shooting ah Gu Yiqing shoot ah, you shoot ah, you do not shoot to hit others others come to kill you, do you know what you should do now ah ... I trembled up, cold sweat in the forehead slipped through the face to leave a snake slithering through the touch.
At the bottom of my heart there is a person who is persuading me: don't shoot, shoot you will regret it for the rest of your life! Killing a man and killing a child are not the same thing, do you want to live in guilt for the rest of your life?
"Shut up!"
I fiercely refuted the voice, "But dad and mom Gu Rou should die?"
The bottom of my heart there is a group of fire straight up, hot my throat pain straight gasping for air, "they have not done anything bad ... but why they are dead! Why!"
Yeah, they didn't harm anyone, they died, had accidents for no reason, leaving only cold tombstones, and now someone is coming to kill me but won't let me kill him, am I sick? Is it okay to kill people who kill people?
I gripped the gun, my knuckles white. Those two small figures in my eyes the more I see the more I think of me as a child and ...
