Chapter 81

He opened his mouth wide and began to wail.

The grief was extreme,

yet there was not even a sound to his crying.

This middle-aged man, covered in dust,

finally let out a roar like blood-stained tears.

"You beasts!!!"

"Wuwuwuwu!"

Beside him,

there were countless people running,

also wailing and crying.

"The hospital was attacked! So many people are buried inside!"

"Hurry and save them!"

"How could this happen? So many children are still inside!"

"Who will save us! Wuwuwu!"

On the hospital's original plaza,

the once-level ground had been blasted into deep craters.

On the scorched earth,

a father was kneeling, frantically digging at the dirt and rubble with his hands.

His fingers were stained with blood and mud,

and all ten of his fingernails had been torn back.

But he seemed to have no sense of pain,

his expression frantic,

muttering to himself.

"Lilith, my Lilith."

"Daddy is going to find you soon."

"Found you soon..."

He dug at the dirt with all his heart,

deaf to the continuous explosions around him.

A collapsed wall

rolled past the father,

kicking up another large cloud of dust.

When the dust cleared,

the father was already holding a beautiful little girl in his arms.

Even in the midst of war,

that angel-like little girl

still had a small, pretty pink bow tied in her hair.

The bow was still there,

but that little girl

would never open her eyes again.

"Lilith..."

"Daddy found you..."

"Wuwuwuwu!"

Holding his daughter's corpse,

the man knelt on the ground in agonizing grief.

The same scene was playing out everywhere.

Some crawled out of the ruins covered in blood,

while others rushed into the ruins in panic and despair.

The massive explosion

had alerted all the citizens around the hospital.

They first looked up blankly,

and then panic and pain began to appear in their eyes.

"No!!!"

"Our hospital has been bombed!"

"Save them! Hurry and save them!"

"God! Please save us!"

In front of the bombed-out hospital gate,

in the dim light,

the calls of the team members rang out continuously.

"Is everyone okay?"

"I'm fine!"

"I'm fine too!"

"Blackie is with me, we're both safe!"

"Ma De, it's a good thing the Captain kicked me out just now, otherwise I'd be gone!"

"Damn! Those bastards from the Israeli state aren't human!"

"They actually bombed a hospital!"

"Where's the Captain?"

"I think he's over there with Nia."

The dust-covered members began to gather,

each of them carrying some wounds,

and then they headed in one direction,

soon seeing the figures of Nia and Lu Shu.

The bearded man jogged a few steps,

"Captain!"

But the next moment,

the words he was about to speak were choked in his throat.

The bearded man and the other members' gazes

all looked at the member in front of Lu Shu.

Their pupils shrank fiercely.

"Lucas, you..."

"Damn!"

"I'm going to kill those sons of bitches!"

Seeing his familiar companion lying on the ground covered in blood,

the bearded man's eyes turned red instantly.

"Come back!"

Nia's voice was incomparably cold.

"Listen to the Captain."

All the members looked at Lu Shu.

Lu Shu just squatted calmly in front of the dying member.

The member was still vomiting blood,

and his eyes were beginning to lose focus.

But his unfocused eyes still looked at the other members,

finally landing on Lu Shu's face.

"Cap... Captain!"

"Heh... heh."

"If I had known... I wouldn't have gone chasing girls yesterday."

"Ma De..."

"My legs went weak just now..."

"I didn't... I didn't run away. Haha."

With every word he spoke,

the member's life force was flowing away rapidly.

Lu Shu listened carefully to every one of his words,

his face showing no expression.

Watching his breathing gradually become weak,

"Is there anything you want to do?"

The member's mouth twitched,

pulling into a smile.

His mouth was full of blood.

He shook his head.

Seeing this silent answer,

Lu Shu just gently patted the member's cheek,

then extended his palm,

and after opening it,

there were two things in his palm.

One was a small silver snake medal,

and the other was a bullet.

Lu Shu's voice was calm, without a hint of emotion.

Just a bit hoarse.

"Old rules."

"Pick one."

The member's fading eyes struggled to focus on Lu Shu's palm,

looking at the small silver snake medal for a long time,

a look of infatuation appearing in his eyes.

He used his last bit of strength to lift his hand,

seemingly wanting to pick up one of them,

but eventually gave up.

His eyes looked at the sky, smiling blankly,

"Captain."

"You pick for me."

"I... will listen..."

"Listen to... you."

Lu Shu squatted there,

silent for a while,

then nodded gently,

"Alright."

He reached out to cover the member's completely lifeless eyes,

stood up, and walked calmly out of the dust.

"Carry him."

The bearded man stepped forward and silently carried the member's body on his back.

The other members also followed behind with heavy expressions,

slowly walking out of Gaza City.

At this time,

Zhang Zhe and Su Mu, who had been startled by the explosion, finally ran over.

Looking at the ruins before them,

both of them showed expressions of unbelievable anger.

"The Israeli state..."

"actually bombed a hospital?"

And through the live broadcast lens,

the netizens who saw this scene with their own eyes

were instantly enraged as well.

"God damn it! Why don't the people of the Israeli state just die!"

"They actually bombed a hospital with their own hands!"

"This isn't war, this is a terrorist attack! This is a massacre!"

"Look, there are so many children there..."

"The expressions on their faces... they're so desperate!"

"They're just children, what did they do wrong? Wuwuwu..."

The continuous blockade of Gaza

had already brought despair to the people in Gaza City,

but now,

it was like a hand

had fiercely pushed Gaza into the abyss of hell.

Su Mu looked at the panicked and helpless people and children with tears on her face.

She dropped the microphone she was carrying,

took off her bulletproof vest,

and no longer cared about the program.

"You guys go ahead."

"I want to stay here and help them."

After saying the last sentence through tears,

she rushed into the ruined hospital without regard for her own safety.

Zhang Zhe also really wanted to go over and help,

but he had other tasks on hand.

He could only chase after the direction the Silver Snake Mercenary Group had just left.

"If I'm not mistaken."

"In the bombing just now, the Silver Snake Mercenary Group lost a member..."

"I think Lu Shu might..."

"be very angry."
