Chapter 181: No Home
A place of conflict.
Here are the holy cities of three religions, the world's largest open-air prison, and countless bloodshed and conflicts.
Blood continues to soak the land, like a river winding into the Mediterranean Sea. Every twist and turn and bright red is history and the present.
A few years ago, fierce conflict broke out between them again, and the already dilapidated city was reduced to rubble. The locals were driven southward until they reached Lafiya.
Because its methods were too cruel and it repeatedly crossed the humanitarian bottom line, David finally unilaterally announced a ceasefire under pressure from various countries. However, this time it did not withdraw from the occupied territories as it did before. Instead, it ignored public opinion and directly began to establish settlements in the occupied areas, further squeezing the living space of the Palestinians, restricting the entry of relief supplies, and forcing them to "voluntarily" leave.
Emmanuel originally lived in Gabon. During the war a few years ago, he followed the refugee tide, avoiding the bombardment and moving southward step by step. His relatives also disappeared one by one in the bombing and shelling.
When he arrived at Lafiya, he looked around and saw that he was the only one left, along with a Kanan dog that his father had exchanged for two large cakes.
But the conditions here are really too bad. All kinds of supplies have to be transported in through humanitarian ports and volunteers, and all of them must be reviewed by the Kingdom of David.
Every once in a while, they push the food down a little.
Up to now, in the numerous refugee camps, they have difficulty in guaranteeing their daily drinking water because the David State has polluted the water sources.
Erbing did not die of starvation.
Although it is indeed very thin and almost unrecognizable, the main reason is that sometimes it is forced to drink some sewage, and over time, the body will eventually be unable to bear it.
Carlos couldn't understand Emmeni's language, he could only understand that Erbing was his name.
"My ability is still there, but my body is too weak. If I force myself to use it, I will die."
He didn't know if he would have another chance to be reborn if he died again. Perhaps the greater probability was that he would forever remain in that deep darkness without any facial features.
In contrast, everything in front of me seems to become brighter.
Carlos struggled to get up, chewed the dusty pancake with difficulty, and swallowed it hard.
Of course he wanted to know where this place was and what time it was, but more importantly, he should try his best to survive.
"That's great. I was scared to death, Erbing. I thought you were leaving too."
Emmanuel gently stroked the hair on Carlos' back.
Carlos had a subtle feeling, and when he came to his senses, the tail was already wagging.
". Salute to the wise and resolute people who harvested the plains of Khurzahar, and buried martyrs every day when the shameless demons waged war."
Emmani softly sang a song that was once taught in school, but now the school no longer exists and there is no news of her classmates.
Carlos could only hear a hint of sadness.
A large pancake soon went into his stomach, but the strong feeling of hunger still tormented him.
Although he didn't know where this place was, he could see that supplies were scarce in this area. If he wanted to get enough food, he had to find a way on his own and couldn't put pressure on this child who was obviously not getting enough to eat.
"Oh no! Come on, Erbing, we have to hurry back, or the teacher will get worried."
Emmanuel hurriedly stood up, barely picked up Carlos, and ran away.
Carlos struggled for a few times. It was incredible that a superhuman being like him couldn't even break free from a child. Although he had the reason of avoiding hurting the other party, it was still outrageous anyway.
Soon, Emmanuel arrived at "school."
It is called a school, but in fact it is just an area surrounded by several refugee camps. Two volunteers and several local adults are responsible for managing dozens of children inside, most of whom are orphans.
Adults only teach some very basic knowledge to ensure that the offspring can at least recognize all the characters. Even if it is difficult, the characters will not be lost.
There is more than one such school.
"Emeni, how's Erbing?"
"In my opinion, it's better to eat it."
"Are you crazy? If the adults knew you ate dog meat, they would definitely beat you to death."
"I'll just tell you." Emmanuel looked around curiously, but didn't see the fiercest teacher, Karin.
"Mr. Karin went to negotiate with the 'devil'." A child said worriedly, "I heard that he wanted to get back the medicine he brought with him."
"There are so many people in the hospital recently, and many people are sick."
"I heard it is"
Emmanuel placed Carlos back into his "home," a doghouse made of some rags.
Carlos lay quietly, reducing his energy consumption, looking at the generally thin children in front of him, and roughly guessed where they were from their race.
"Baguo? I was reborn here. Is it God or the devil who wants me to do something?"
He didn't know yet that the so-called devil had arrived at this place earlier than him.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gao. Without your help in the negotiation, we would definitely not be able to get this batch of ribavirin back, and many people would be in danger of their lives. I thank you on behalf of the patients. You are a good person!"
Teacher Karin, who is also a volunteer doctor, was sincerely thanking the old Asian man in front of him who called himself Mr. Gao.
Hearing the title of "good man", Mr. Gao smiled playfully.
"I'm just passing by, you don't have to thank me, I can't do anything for this city."
Kalin shook his head. "If everyone passed by like you, I think Pakistan would definitely become a better country. Alas, I still have work to do. Thank you again. If you need any help, you can come to the hospital to find me. There is only one hospital that can operate normally now."
"must."
Karin left in a hurry with a few people and the medicine on their backs.
Mr. Gao, who had a very conspicuous face and clothes, turned his head to look at the man and woman who had been following him persistently for several days.
These two men looked like they were just adults. After witnessing him casually saving a patient, they began to follow him from a distance.
He originally thought that they were begging for food or money, but they were slow to greet him. Later, Bai Shihang even suspected that they were a local gang and was going to send people to take advantage of them, but several days had passed and there was still no movement.
Until now, the boy held the girl's hand and walked to Mr. Gao nervously, saying in halting English: "Hello, can we study, doctor?"
"Dr. Karin, who just spoke, is the doctor. I can't treat illnesses." Mr. Gao answered in fluent local language.
"Great! Sir, you know our language!" The boy was very happy. "I know Mr. Karin. He is a very good doctor, but he is always busy saving patients. So, we can't disturb him."
"You mean, I look idle?" Mr. Gao raised his eyebrows.
The boy waved his hands quickly, looking nervous. "No, no, that's not my intention. I just want to learn some medical skills to help everyone. If you are willing to teach me, I can help you with work and run errands for you, and I will pay you back as tuition in the future."
Mr. Gao looked at the timid-looking girl behind him and asked, "Who is she to you?"
"She is my sister." The boy immediately became alert and blocked most of the girl's body.
"Are you hungry?" Mr. Gao asked suddenly.
"Ah?" The boy was a little surprised by the jump in the topic.
"I asked, are you hungry?"
The boy nodded hesitantly.
"Do you have a home?"
"We have a tent. But it's not a home."
"Oh, let's go. I know a place with nice scenery. I'll take you there to eat something. What's your name?"
"Hasamu, my sister's name is."
".Naimai, sir, my name is Naimai."
