Chapter 187: Bombing (77k)

At night, fierce fighting broke out in the occupied area north of Rafia.

People tried their best to look, but in the moonless darkness, nothing could be seen in the distance.

"Okay, I understand."

Mansoor hung up the phone with a thoughtful look on his face and looked out the window with a frown. Many people had already walked to the streets anxiously, fearing that if they continued to stay in the house they would be bombed because they could not see the situation. After all, they had seen this kind of thing many times.

"Commander, are we going into the tunnel?" asked the subordinate.

"Let Hasam hide inside." Mansur said, "It's strange. In the occupied area, the people of the Ka Brigade have already withdrawn, leaving only a few people. It's impossible for them to make such a big noise. So who is the Kingdom of David exchanging fire with?"

Mansur thought about the possible forces, but considering the current situation, he realized that no one could get there except them.

Soon after he finished speaking, the sound of gunfire gradually subsided and peace returned to the occupied area.

"Stopped?"

"Commander, are we still going into the tunnel?"

"Go in, and come out in an hour."

Until dawn, there was no sound of further gunfire.

Mansour reported his speculation last night. The leadership said that they were also discussing it and had not yet determined the cause, so he was asked to be more careful.

He had no choice but to cheer himself up and continue with his plans for the new day.

"Are you treating patients today as well? I thought yesterday was the last batch."

In the tunnel, Hasam was chatting with Mansur in front of him.

"No, thanks to you, the medical pressure on Lafia has been reduced a lot. We will take care of the remaining minor illnesses later. Today, I plan to check the child's body."

Hasamu naturally had no objection.

A few of them came out of a residential building, changed their clothes, disguised themselves, and headed towards the tent school that was being built with assistance.

Karin is already waiting here.

"Sir, thank you for coming. I thank you on behalf of my children." Karin looked at Hasam with eager eyes. These days, he witnessed one miracle after another and had discussed with Hasam more than once.

Unfortunately, the other party couldn't understand what he said, and he couldn't understand what the other party said.

But he still wanted to understand the underlying principles of this magical and incredible treatment method. Perhaps if he could understand it a little, he would benefit from it for a lifetime.

Hasam felt a little guilty, afraid that Karin was going to have another in-depth discussion with him about some difficult medical problem. When they talked before, the professional terms gave him a headache and were much more difficult to understand than divine grace.

Seeing Hasam's predicament, Mansur took the initiative to interrupt Karim and change the subject.

"These kids must have caused a lot of trouble for Dr. Karlin on a daily basis."

"No, they are all very good children. It is normal for them to like to play around at this age."

"Alas, there is not much we can do for them. The education system has been almost paralyzed in recent years. A large part of it depends on the help of righteous people like you, Dr. Karin, to ensure that they can understand the text."

“No, even without us, you have done a lot in this regard.”

Hasam breathed a sigh of relief.

During the conversation, several people came to a smaller tent where tables and chairs had been arranged.

"The sanitary conditions are too poor during this period. I am afraid that these children will be infected with some disease. However, it is difficult to detect it with our current equipment before there is any sign. So I mentioned it to Mr. Mansoor, and I didn't expect that he would really bring you to help."

“That’s exactly what I want to do.”

Hasam sat on a chair, the others sat in a corner, and then Karim asked people to bring in the children one after another.

Physical examination is a relatively easy procedure. Hasam had demonstrated it before when treating patients, and it was at that time that he was seen by Karin.

The children looked at the adults nervously, then lowered their heads and carefully allowed Hasam to check them one by one.

"Brother, can I study medicine in the future?"

While being examined, the child in front of Hasam suddenly plucked up the courage to ask.

"Then you need to learn more from Mr. Karin." Hasam replied with a smile, as if it was just a chat. "Why do you want to be a doctor?"

"One day there was an explosion and my father was killed. My mother was lying on the ground unable to move. She held my hand and said that she didn't want to die and wanted to see me become a man. But I didn't want to be a man. If I were a doctor, could I save my mother?" The child's words were a little naive.

Hasam was silent for a while: "These two things are not contradictory. What is your name?"

"Eminem, sir."

"You can be a man and a doctor at the same time, just like me." After the examination, the child had no problems except malnutrition. Hasam patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"Thank you."

Aimeni walked away, not quite understanding what was going on.

He finished examining all the children here in one morning. Since it did not involve much treatment, Hasam still had plenty of energy, so he agreed to Mansour's arrangement to go to the next "campus".

Just a few steps away, Mansoor's phone rang.

"Hello, I'm Mansoor."

".confirmed?!"

"I understand."

Mansoor hung up the phone with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?" asked Hasam.

Mansour took a deep breath. "The Kingdom of David just announced that it was attacked by the Kazakh Brigade in the Gacheng area, causing many casualties. It announced that it would launch a retaliatory air strike on Rafia. Now, the bombers have set off."

"Perhaps in the next second, a bomb will fall on our heads."

"But, but we no longer have any obvious military bases! We don't even have an official office! Where are they going to bomb?" Hasam's face showed fear unconsciously, and he thought of the past.

"Is there any place they dare not bomb? Maimun, go and inform others to evacuate places like hospitals..." Mansoor's words were stuck in his throat because he had already seen the black spot in the sky.

"Bastards, they have already sent out the bombers before we notified you! Immediately notify Brigade Ka and have them sound all the remaining air defense sirens!" He shouted.

Buzz buzz buzz——

The sharp and long sirens of the air raid sirens soon resounded throughout the sky of Lafia. Soon, panicked crowds could be seen fleeing in the streets and alleys. The short-lived peace in the past few years had made some people unable to think of where to hide.

Mansur led Hasam to the nearest tunnel. He suspected that the enemy was coming for him or Hasam. "Raise the flag and hang it up! Children, hide in the tents and don't go out. This is a demilitarized zone. We will be fine! Doctor Karin, leave this to me. You can go to the hospital as soon as possible!"

"Okay, be safe!"

The tents where these children are located all have the logo of the International United Humanitarian Organization in eye-catching colors, and have been recognized by the Kingdom of David. Even in wartime, as long as no military personnel are confirmed to be found in the area, no attack can be launched. Even if an attack is carried out, civilians must be evacuated.

Although David's country had a lot of criminal records, Karin didn't think that the bombers came just to blow up the tents. If they were going to bomb, they would definitely bomb higher-value buildings, such as hospitals.

That's why he rushed back to the hospital to help with the evacuation.

However, no one expected that the target of this wave of bombing was very clear, and only one wave of aerial bombs would be dropped because the main purpose was to intimidate.

"Two cakes! Two cakes!"

"Emini, go back to the tent quickly! Don't go out!" the adults called out to him.

Aimeni looked around anxiously, but there was no sign of Erbing. According to this time of year in the past, Erbing should have returned.

He was worried that Erbing would be frightened by the humming sound and run around in panic.

"Erbing! Where are you?! Erbing!"

Carlos took a little longer today because he damaged another patrol ship of the David country, which made a certain officer so angry that he cursed.

But when he was halfway through, he heard the air raid alarm and felt something was wrong. He still had a fish in his mouth and his four legs were moving so fast that most people only saw a shadow passing by and could not see any color.

Just as he turned the corner, he could faintly hear the shouting of "Erbing", but another sharp sound, which became clearer and clearer, made his heart feel cold.

That was the whistle of an aerial bomb.

Turning the corner, he saw Emmeni and the black spots where they landed.

boom--

A series of explosions instantly destroyed the fragile tent structure, and the expressions of the people inside were forever frozen in that moment. At this distance, only incomplete and unrecognizable pieces of flesh or bones were left of their bodies. The only consolation, perhaps, was that their death was painless.

Emmanuel saw Carlos but didn't see the bomb behind him. Before he was enveloped by the flames of the explosion, his expression was a relieved smile.

The fireball engulfed several nearby cement and sand buildings, staining them with a layer of black paint. The shock wave directly shattered nearby glass objects without distinguishing between the front and the back, and pushed all the unfixed people or objects away for a long distance.

Carlos was close, and the last thing he saw was Emmeni smiling at him before the bomb behind him landed.

His heart, like glass, was cracked by the shock wave, which was more serious than the damage his body had suffered.

Thick smoke billowed and people wailed in pain. Some people's ears were bleeding. They knelt on the ground, covering their ears, with expressions of indescribable struggle and pain.

Some people's bodies were gray and they lay quietly on the ground, unable to move anymore.

Carlos stood up unsteadily, loosened the half-cooked fish in his mouth, shook his head, and walked towards the explosion point, passing by pools of corpses.

Standing on the smoking scorched earth, he looked around in a daze, unable to find any possibility of survival to deceive himself.

A feeling so uncomfortable that I wanted to vomit came over me.

"Thunberg is right, I am not justice, and my justice can do nothing here."

In the man-made hell, the so-called justice is extremely luxurious, so luxurious that no one expects it and no one mocks it. People either become numb to death or sing the praises of resistance with their lives and use blood as a weapon.

However, his abilities were gained through kindness. If he killed people, could he still call himself kind? Then did he completely lose the chance to be reincarnated as a human?
". Salute to the wise and determined people who harvest the plains of Khurzahar, where martyrs are buried every day when the shameless demons wage war." The song that Emene sang every night before going to bed rang in his mind. He didn't understand the meaning, but he remembered it naturally after hearing it so many times.

Scenes kept flashing back in my mind, and the cracks in my heart grew wider and wider, and then shattered silently.

The Saint's power disappeared.

But the ability of [alienation] is undergoing some changes.

【Flesh Furnace】

Nuclear fusion of carbon-based life, when there is enough flesh and blood, the galaxy is also enough to cross.

At the gate of Rafia wall.

The surging crowd confronted several leading Davidian soldiers.

Leading the crowd was Karin.

At this moment, he looked crazy, yet also seemed unusually calm.

This extremely contradictory expression appeared on his face at the same time, because his spiritual world had been completely destroyed along with the bomb.

"So, you want to attack us? In that case, I can assume that you are all militants of the Ka Brigade and I have the right to shoot you to death."

The soldier glanced at everyone and said calmly.

Karin's red eyes revealed a look of collapse and desperation. His fingertips pointed at the ruins as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and they trembled with his breathing. His face was distorted and flushed with extreme anger, and his voice was hoarse.

"This is a refugee camp, a school, and a tent of a joint organization! It is not a military target! Tell me, why bomb such a place! There are children everywhere. Do you know how many children died in this area?! You don't know, and even we don't know!"

"They are completely gone. There is no room for their remains in this damn world!"

"Have you really lost even a shred of bottom line and conscience as a human being?"

The soldier shrugged. "I don't know what our superiors decided, but if they did it, they must have their reasons. Maybe you are secretly shielding those militants. Do you know how many of us were killed in yesterday's attack? They were also other people's children, husbands, and fathers."

"Of course, it's also possible that the map just hasn't been updated and I got the wrong one."

“Fuck the map! You even know how many rat holes there are in Rafia. You want to monitor everyone’s every move! You know the structure of this place better than we do!” It would have been better if he didn’t explain it. Karin continued to yell, but the dizziness in his head finally made him unable to hold on. He staggered and was about to fall down, but was quickly caught by the crowd behind him.

"Old man, take care of yourself. If you are fine, disperse immediately, otherwise I will think you are attacking the outpost."

The David country officer left this sentence and turned away.

The crowd suddenly became enraged and completely out of control. Some people started using homemade catapults to attack the watchtowers and soldiers.

"Use tear gas, non-lethal weapons."

Tear gas bombs were thrown, gunshots rang out, people screamed and fled, and the scene was instantly in chaos.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Hasam?"

On a rooftop somewhere, Bai Shihang and Naimai looked out at the smoke-filled street and listened to the screams of the crowd, remaining indifferent.

Nayi Mai shook her head: "I know he is safe, that's enough, teacher, let's go."

Bai Shihang put his hand on her shoulder and disappeared in an instant.
