"No...no..."
In a red light, the crow saw the chaos in the repair shop. Everything exploded in slow motion. He saw people crying and falling down, and the bodies stacked together. This was not an attack, it was a massacre.
Then the man smashed his knee into his stomach again, again and again, breaking his ribs all until he could no longer vomit blood.
In pain and fear, he struggled constantly, spreading his left hand to grab the attacker's face, but pulled off a blindfold.
"My dad is..."
"Have you ever been on the battlefield?"
A low roar rang in his ears, and the crow was thrown to the ground. He could only moan weakly, and the sounds around him disappeared.
Only the devil's whispers remain.
"What..."
"Do you know what death feels like? Bullets pass through the body, because adrenaline you won't feel pain, but after the fight, the blood in the body has dried up. If it hits the head, the body will fall into a limp. When the artillery shell explodes around you, people will tinnitus in both ears and the body will be blown away by the shock wave. Because the internal organs are broken, you will vomit blood. The fragments will tear your skin. The sound of the fighter jets is squeaking and harsh. The bombs they drop will shatter your internal organs even if they are far away. Staying around will turn you into a pool of meat paste.
The machine gun will make you feel like a balloon is stabbed by a needle. The poisonous gas will turn the lung leaves into empty shells, the skin is ulcerated, the eyes are blind, and gradually the breath is gone, and nothing can be seen... When the bayonet is pierced into the stomach, the intestines will flow out, and you feel your body is light, and these things that sound trembling are what we experienced at that time. What they experienced is what we and they face even if they are afraid of death, because behind them is the hometown and the eyes of their parents waiting for him, so do you know what death feels like?”
In the blurred vision, the crow saw an eye, a burning eye, embedded in a face with a distinct scar, and a vicious smile.
Then, the other party smashed his face with the handle of the gun, and a drop of blood splashed out from the air, and the sound of bone breaking was also heard.
"So, you know?"
The crow never made any sound, and even the breathing sounded.
When the second standard Terra Day arrived, a terrifying news spread quickly in the scavenger town. All members of the Ghost Fire Gang, together with the leader, were brutally killed, and their heads were strung on metal poles and stood in front of two graves. The sheriff who had long covered his son was found hanging in front of an empty hut with his hands tied up behind his back.
This case is big or big, and it is not big or big. After all, it is in the bottom nest, and it is not very strange to say that such a thing is strange. In addition, a large number of soldiers returned to their hometowns and created many cases. The Ministry of Justice only simply investigated it and classified it as a vendetta, and then re-appointed a sheriff and asked the new sheriff to investigate it himself.
Hayes and others had already returned to Zhongchao. The impact of this journey on him was no less than his first time on the battlefield. However, just two days after he came back, he received a news that a big man invested half a year ago to build a soldier cemetery in Zhongchao, and buried all the bodies of soldiers recovered on the battlefield here as much as possible. The project has been completed recently, and all veterans were notified to attend the memorial ceremony.
Hayes immediately set off for the cemetery, and in the car he heard the name of the "big man" - Alni Morales, and also the new Governor General of Badab.
After the ceremony here is held, he is about to take office.
The car to the Soldiers Cemetery was full of people wearing military green uniforms. Some people wore medals on their chests, some people held a flower in their hands, and Hayes also had one in their hands, but he did not have a medal. Jalinna and Andina sat beside him. Many people were disabled, but not many were able to replace prosthetics. Most of them simply installed prosthetics that could not be moved, and the majority of them were single.
When the train stopped and walked out of the cabin, what caught Hayes's eye was a magnificent cemetery. The entrance was erected with huge monuments, composed of 37 pillars, each more than 10 meters high, arranged in the form of an open matrix on the red sandstone and dark gray ground. They are both entrances and a symbol, symbolizing the 37 groups conscripted from this nest. The array of pillars serves as the background of the memorial square, facing the stairs behind the square, the raised tombs and the towering bell tower.
There were already crowds of people around, and the law enforcement officers were maintaining order. They could see the eagle emblem and symbols woven with flowers everywhere. For this day, even the dome above the area was opened to let the sun shine on this sacred land.
Walking into it, Hayes saw a group of priests holding incense burners while chanting scriptures, and nuns were giving drinks and food to everyone in need, although it was just a simple bread.
It has to be said that the design of this place is indeed exquisite. The entire mausoleum area is like a rolling mountain, but at the same time it defines a simple linear boundary by granite and glass. Different hills arrange black marble tombstones in a staggered pattern, and surround a star-shaped fountain with flames in the center.
There are also a large amount of green vegetation and trees between the tombstones, creating a forest with a contemplative atmosphere. The low fountains and extended steps maximize the view and accessibility of the site.
After walking for a long time, Hayes found the location of the group he was in, but it was surrounded by people because there were big figures inside.
A long way from a distance, Hays could see his regiment commander. He was surrounded by a crowd of people, standing in front of a statue of a soldier holding a rifle in charge. Then he put down a bouquet of flowers. Several cameramen around him immediately captured the scene. Countless noble men and women in gorgeous clothes, bureaucrats and priests around him praised Alny's heroic and kind behavior. Their flattering smiles and fair teeth almost made the sunlight brighter.
"That war was awful."
Alni looked at the tombstones, and his new wife held his arm aside.
"My regiment and my soldiers are all gone! Even if you only see one person, it's good to see one person!"
Hayes stood in the distance and watched quietly. He didn't know what the other party was saying, but he didn't want to say anything.
Just watching quietly.
Looking at...
Chapter completed!
