The sudden war swept hundreds of countries, and international conventions were completely torn up. Powerful countries crossed national borders wantonly, invaded neighboring small countries without warning, and launched blitzkriegs without mercy.
There are different opinions on the root cause of the outbreak of the war. The most common one is the arrival of an interstellar civilization, which brought knowledge that subverted the world. But other than that, the public does not know any details.
The attitude of more than a dozen powerful countries in starting the war is so determined, as if they want to break an old era and shuffle the cards without breaking or establishing.
Within a few months, a total of sixteen small countries perished, and countless people on Aquamarine became war refugees. Some were displaced, and some were taken over by enemy armies and centralized management.
As a small country with a strong neighbor like Ruilan, Gelan doesn¡¯t have many opportunities to choose its destiny. Facing Ruilan's all-out military strife, Gelan was completely defeated within a few months, losing all its organized armed forces, and was allowed to be brutally ravaged by Ruilan.
The city is devastated, with charred ruins of buildings everywhere, deep pits blasted out of the ground, black smoke still rising into the sky in some places, and sporadic gunshots ringing out from time to time.
Unkempt and ragged Golan refugees were wandering among the ruins, huddled together in twos and threes, some with numb expressions, like walking corpses, and some with constricted pupils, like frightened birds.
Sean followed a group of refugees in search of supplies in the ruins. He struggled to move his body. His whole body was covered in dust and mud. He had not washed himself for many days and was dirty and slovenly. He was as skinny as a stick, with sunken eye sockets. He was extremely haggard and looked numb.
Ruilan's invasion came without warning. After clearing the ground with firepower, ground troops were sent in to eliminate Gelan's armed forces step by step.
During this period, the importance of resettling Golan refugees was not high. The refugee camp had a capacity limit. Ruilan's troops spent most of their energy on clearing out the resistance forces. They only blocked the city and did not have much energy to shelter all the refugees. , at most, occasionally airdropping some supplies, allowing a large number of Golan refugees to survive in the blocked city.
The city suffered initial rounds of bombings, and Sean was lucky to survive. However, he had long been separated from Mag and others in the chaos. During these days, he could only work together with another group of refugees, looking for supplies in the ruins, or When Ruilan airdropped aid, he fought with other refugees, like a walking zombie, just thinking about surviving one day.
But during these days, countless refugees have searched the city over and over again. Almost no supplies can be found in the ruins. Survival has become increasingly difficult. As they approach the limit, Sean and others are walking among the ruins, everywhere. It can be seen that most of the corpses of Golan refugees who died of starvation, thirst, and illness died in the past few days.
After looking through several ruins, there was still nothing to gain. Sean was so hungry that his eyes were filled with stars. He sat down against the wall and gasped for air. He felt that his body was extremely heavy, as if he was about to sink into the soil.
"Are you okay? Can you still look for supplies?"
Bol on the side saw him sitting down, so he leaned over and asked breathlessly.
He is Sean¡¯s new friend in this homeless gang. They have taken care of each other and become familiar with each other during these days.
"I'm so hungry I have no energy" Sean made a hoarse voice from his thirsty throat that was almost on fire.
"Hurry up, otherwise if someone else finds something, they won't share it with you."
Bol went to grab Sean's arm, but he was exhausted. As soon as he pulled, his body tilted and fell to the ground. He gasped for air, and his breath blew away a small piece of dust.
¡°Let me slow down, I¡¯m very hungry too¡¡±
Bol didn¡¯t have the strength to get up, so he simply arched a few times and leaned against the wall, leaning sideways on Sean.
Sean tilted his body and almost fell down, but he didn't have the strength to push him away, so he could only close his eyes and self-hypnotize himself to relieve his hunger.
At this time, Boll suddenly spoke, with a low and lost tone:
"Sean, do you think our army can still come to rescue us?"
"Definitely." Sean opened his eyes with difficulty, his voice was weak but firm.
"It's been so long, do you really believe it?" Bol gasped and said hoarsely: "Ruilan is coming fiercely, and Gelan has already been overwhelmed. How can he have time to save us? Instead of expecting Gelan to send troops to rescue us, why not We hope Ruilan will take in the refugees on a large scale, so that we can at least survive"
Sean gritted his teeth: "How can you expect the enemy When I met other refugees before, didn't they say that Rui Lan was purging refugees? Occasionally, they would send ground troops to capture a group of refugees in the city. Some people said that they had seen Rui Lan. Lan refugee camp 1He hit the person on the cheek, knocked them to the ground, and quickly subdued them.
Sean was scared and anxious, and wanted to think of a way to save people, but his brain was in chaos and he had no clue. He looked at the heavily armed Ruilan soldiers, fear seized his heart, his legs trembled, and he never took a step forward. He didn't have enough courage, but he shrank deeper into the gap, not daring to let out his breath.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his best friends, whose faces were covered in blood, were dragged into the car like dead dogs by Ruilan soldiers, leaving several winding traces of blood on the ground.
Sean¡¯s lips turned white and he was trembling.
There has never been a moment when he hated his weak self so much that he could do nothing.
Soon, the refugees who had no time to hide outside were caught by Ruilan soldiers. Soon a group of soldiers with weapons raised came to search here.
Sean couldn¡¯t care less about worrying about others and subconsciously covered his mouth, not daring to take a big breath.
At this moment, Bol, who was also hiding in the gap not far away, took the initiative to come out with his hands raised, trembling all over, and fell to his knees on the ground, with an expression on his face mixed with fear, uneasiness, and hope.
"II won't resist!"
Soldier Ruilan went up to control Boer without saying a word, and his movements were rough.
Bol was in pain and subconsciously turned his head to look at where Sean was hiding.
Sean was stunned. Before he could react, footsteps outside quickly approached. A big hand suddenly reached into the gap, grabbed his clothes, and pulled hard.
He couldn¡¯t resist the strength of Ruilan¡¯s soldiers, so he fell out with a plop. His clothes were still grabbed by the strong arms. He was so frightened that his feet stared wildly, like a flapping fish, struggling subconsciously.
But at this moment, another Ruilan soldier quickly stepped forward, and the butt of the gun quickly enlarged in Sean's eyes.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Sean¡¯s vision went dark and he lost consciousness instantly.
¡¡
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the downed brain gradually restarted. Sean only felt a splitting headache and a burning pain in his forehead.
Sean opened his eyes with difficulty, feeling that everything in his sight seemed to have a double image, as if the screen was blurred.
There was a bump in the surroundings. He endured dizziness and looked around. He found himself in a moving carriage. Surrounded by some refugees who had been arrested, their faces were full of sorrow. There were familiar faces from the same group, as well as from Mag's group. Strange refugees, but Ma Ge and other best friends are not in this car.
"you're awake?"
Bol was also in the car and quickly came over.
Hearing the familiar voice, Sean turned to look at him, his eyes becoming quite complicated.
"Youforget it."
He originally wanted to ask why Bol took the initiative to expose himself and implicate himself, but before the words were spoken, he had the answer in his heart, so he stopped asking and just sighed.
However, Bol lowered his head, murmured, and whispered: "You understand our situation, it is impossible to escape, and if we continue to wander outside, we will definitely starve to death. It is better to be taken away by Ruilan "
"It goes without saying My head hurts so much. How's the injury?" Sean felt panicked and didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he changed the subject.
¡°There¡¯s a bit of swelling here, but it¡¯s okay, it¡¯s not a serious injury.¡±
"That's good."
Sean sat up, took a deep breath, struggled to reach the car window, and looked out.
I saw that the convoy had already driven out of the ruins of the city and arrived at the original suburbs.
A continuous temporary camp appeared in the distance. It was one of the refugee camps set up by Ruilan. But in Sean's eyes, it looked like the bloody mouth of a beast, waiting for its prey.
"We can survive, right?" Sean sounded uneasy.
Perhaps because there was no other choice, Bol seemed to have grasped the only life-saving straw. He only had blind trust in his own choice and nodded vigorously:
"As long as you are obedient, you will be able to do it." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
