Wasteland
He had thought that the Atonement Army would commit a series of evil deeds, but he never imagined that these people would not even spare children.
Several dogs are watching eagerly. This is their territory. Anyone who dares to invade and steal food will be regarded as a target by them.
The dogs whined in an intimidating way. If the alien didn't leave, they would bark and pounce on him to kill him.
Regardless of whether these dogs were domesticated or wild dogs before, this is as much food as a small mountain. For this food, dogs can ignore everything.
A bone is not yet allowed to be snatched by humans.
Xiang Du didn't take these dogs seriously. He was frightened by the numerous crimes. Under the filthy air that filled the sky, he tremblingly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the palm of his hand without hesitation.
He was awake, but the more he was awake, the more nauseating the smell in the air made him.
The past events are vivid in his mind. He once told stories to the children in the broken house, prepared food for the children, and put new clothes on the children.
Or, what would the servant girl think if she knew what happened to the children?
These children were abandoned when they were young, and their lives had just improved when they fell into the mouths of a group of dogs.
How could Xiang Du not be angry?
He used to always think that he would make great achievements, but only after entering life did he realize what it meant to be unable to move even an inch, and that every step forward required charity from others.
For him, this orphanage was a place that made him feel like he still had a sense of being alive.
Xiang Du held the dagger in his backhand and moved it to one side. The dogs watched with vigilance and kept turning around the mountain of corpses.
He took off his coat and wrapped it around his left arm. This was his shield.
After getting ready, he rushed over. Before his passion could be expressed, the dogs howled and fled.
Even though he escaped, that is, he ran outside the iron gate, he still couldn't stop barking.
Xiang Du can be said to have won without a fight.
Those dogs are behind the iron gate. Whenever Xiang Du takes a step, they will follow him one step at a time, making it impossible to guard against him.
Xiang Du, who had a bad temper, simply imitated dog barking. He roared at a group of dogs and refused to give in to each other.
Step by step, he arrived under the main building of the orphanage, which was funded by Grandpa Luo Mi. There were spots on the walls.
After checking almost every room with its own purpose, no one was left, and it was impossible for anyone to stay here. The things in the yard were too scary.
I walked to the dean's office in a daze. The documents and utensils inside were thrown on the ground, the table was tilted to one side, and the chairs were also overturned. There were signs of struggle.
Dean Mu Mu must have fought against the Atonement Army. What can a woman do, but she is so weak.
Clean up the office. Although he doesn't know why he wants to do this, he just wants to make the place cleaner.
After putting it away, he sat behind his desk, covering his face with his hands, imagining the children playing around in the office.
The dean casually caught a lesson, but he also laughed at it. They were all a group of fresh lives.
Xiang Du stretched out his hand to grab them, and those people became blurry and blurred until they disappeared.
He simply put his hand down and let those shadows come back again.
Then, he flipped through the drawers, and in the top drawer on the left, there was a watch pressed against a notebook.
The watch is quite expensive, and there are scratches in some places, but the time is still exactly the same.
He put the watch on the table and listened to the clock hands moving moment by moment and the crisp mechanical sound of clicking.
The notebook was also taken out and the first page was opened. It was a roster. From the dean to the staff at all levels, one page was occupied, and the children occupied more than ten pages.
There is also his name in it, which is the honorary dean.
But he is also considered a mentor.
There are a few blank pages at the back, probably for the children who come in later.
The last few pages are the list of donations, including several princes, dozens of noble women, some free people, etc.
Everything was here, and he had plenty of time to look at it, all the documents, all the correspondence.
The daily life in the orphanage is full of details, including which child is sick on which day and what kind of illness he has.
All.
Xiang Du read line by line, and saw that in the early morning of the next day, he had read everything, and things he had never seen before seemed to be happening before his eyes.
After that, he walked to the window and stretched out his hand to open the closed window. The rotten smell entered his nose without any reservation.
But Xiang Du didn't feel sick at all.
To the north, the advance company of the Guards was capturing the last street.
Just like the scene yesterday, this street was undefended, making people even doubt whether there were any traces of enemies in the city.
In front of Taihe's team is an extremely spacious road. On the other side of the road is the back of the palace, a gravel-paved avenue and dirt fields on both sides of the road.
The original soil was planted with flowers and plants, but due to lack of maintenance and the fact that it was winter, it had transformed into the original appearance of the soil.
Further back is the square of the palace, with gardens on both sides.
The things that once set off the palace like bright stars have now turned into dim colors.
The entire Tai He platoon is stationed on the right side. This is the area they are responsible for. They must provide cover and defense during the attack.
The artist recounted the gossip he had heard: "I heard someone say that the enemy was disguised as a refugee, and the unscrupulous police officer let him in without being interrogated. Isn't this inconsiderate? How can such a person become a security officer?
Official?"
"Do you even need to ask? Is it difficult?" Knowledg said with a special dislike for the Sheriff, "If you have some connections and some money, you can do it. Do you know what is the most important thing? Connections, connections, nothing else matters. I think.
To get along well, connections are essential."
The brothers looked at Know-how's cynical look and wondered if this guy had been bullied by the Sheriff.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. After all, Bai Shitong also has a wide network of contacts, and he has been a housekeeper.
Yu Lian didn't speak. He was still awake on the night shift, so he nodded again and again.
Seeing no one objected, Knowledg started to talk: "There are many people who have no ability at all, but they are in high positions. Do you think they are irritating or not? I think if this matter arises, it must be done by capable people."
Dry……"
While he was speaking from above, the brothers in the audience were whispering, and everyone was talking about their own things.
Bai Shitong's face turned red, and he asked the short man: "Am I right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, especially yes."
The short man was perfunctory.
The brothers' reaction made Bai Shitong blush with embarrassment. He cleared his throat and said, "You don't understand even if I tell you, it's a waste of time."
The station platoon leader was observing the palace. There was some dirt on the lens of his telescope. He had to clean it several times but could not get it clean.
When he went to see the palace, he saw no one at all, but it was worth noting that there were ruts and footprints on the snow in front of the palace.
By rough calculation, there were more than thirty people walking in front and back of the snow, and that was only what he could see.
Although I don’t know how many Atonement Army there are in the city, this number is definitely not enough. Could it be that the enemy only has one company? One company captured the royal capital? If this is the case, it would be a joke.
The Emperor's Guardsmen are all idiots.
"Platoon leader!"
The messenger ran to the building, saluted and conveyed the order: "The attack time is set in half an hour. I hope your troops will cooperate as much as possible."
"We must cooperate." Tai He drew a circle with his finger, "Wait a minute, have you notified us to collect supplies and ammunition?"
"No, if there is nothing that needs to be conveyed, I will go back and resume my duties."
"No, you can go."
The messenger hurried downstairs.
Taihe was still observing with his telescope, and his attention was entirely focused on the white streets. All the streets around the palace had chaotic footprints.
But no matter how he looked at it, there was nothing worth keeping in these footprints. Everything looked ordinary.
But the more normal it is, the more likely it is that there is a ghost.
Later, the artist said: "The Atonement Army, I thought it was so powerful. Didn't they run away in despair when they encountered us? They sounded like soldiers from heaven descending to earth, but I thought it was just average. If we talk about it, brothers, if we talk about the great joy
Let us join the war, and we are sure to win."
The brothers followed suit.
Da Zhuang said nothing, while Yu Lian continued to nod.
The platoon leader removed the telescope and turned to stare at the artist.
