Chapter 357 Farewell and Infiltration (4k)
On the desert not far from the port, sandstorms filled the sandy ground, and wailing sounds circled in the sky, like wolf demons howling in the desert, desolate and soul-stirring.
“Rumble!”
At this moment, a huge black shadow broke in. It was a huge black truck with red crosses pasted on its oil paper body. On the roof, a huge pattern of two intertwined red silks was particularly striking.
There were three people in the cab. Su Jiu sat in the passenger seat, absorbing holy light. This was her request for two reasons:
First, she could intervene in time to avoid danger. Second, it was the reason she gave to others – to take photos, but she held a phone in her hand, wanting to photograph something but always failing to find a subject.
“This road seems to be going the wrong way? Kid, did you remember the way wrong?”
The person in the driver’s seat was Liu Gang. He was holding a cigarette and glanced at Su Jiu, who was sitting beside him. He scratched his head and asked.
If they went this way, although it was a straight line, it was a military zone marked by Yela as off-limits, and it seemed to have a desert that swallowed people.
“It’s indeed going that way. I don’t remember there being any military zone markings when we came.”
When asked, Weir quickly looked up, pointed to the markings on the map, and was a bit confused. Facing Liu Gang’s suspicious gaze, she quickly waved her hand and continued to explain, “I’m not lying!”
Before she could finish, Su Jiu also glanced at her, placed a hand on her, and lightly said, “Don’t be afraid, we didn’t say we don’t believe you.”
“Perhaps Yela deliberately established a military zone to monitor the people going to the safe zone. It seems we have to take a detour.” Liu Gang smiled helplessly, then turned the car and slowly drove back onto the right track, heading towards the constructed road again.
When the car indicated it was off-course, Su Jiu realized something was wrong. A military zone established so close to the safe zone was full of unreasonable aspects.
Su Jiu could only think of one possibility: perhaps there were some unspeakable things in this military zone. If this could be a photo in her hands, public opinion would gain a little more.
She looked at the car gradually returning to the right track, squinted her eyes, and suddenly asked Liu Gang to stop, saying apologetically, “Uncle Liu Gang, can you stop for a moment? I think I left something important at the port before.”
“Go quickly, and don’t come back. There are quite a few refugees there. You can treat them there!”
Without further ado, Liu Gang quickly stopped the car, laughed loudly, and stopped the car. After watching Weir push Su Jiu out of the car, he paused for a moment at the two young faces, then pulled the car door shut.
“Boom—”—
Without even saying goodbye, Liu Gang stepped on the accelerator again and drove towards the original destination. He didn’t want to ask Su Jiu why she still forgot something even though she had a storage ring. In his opinion, being able to get into the car was courageous enough.
Of course, he would never guess Su Jiu’s bold idea of going to a wartime military zone to take pictures.
“You continue to identify the location, then go home.”
After getting out of the car, Su Jiu looked at the car disappearing into the distance, took out the mobile phone map and asked Weir to continue identifying the location, and then summoned Bairnis again, asking her to push the wheelchair from behind.
Because it was a public map, it was not as detailed or real-time as Liu Gang’s wartime map, so it required someone to identify it again to recognize the previous route.
“This… Doctor Jiu, aren’t we going back to the port? This is that temporary military zone. If they find us civilians approaching, they will shoot us!”
Weir originally thought they were really going back to the port, but soon, she saw the path Su Jiu had drawn on the map, and her light brown eyes widened, looking up at Su Jiu in surprise. What did this Eastern priestess want to do?
“Such temporary war zones will not have Battle King Level powerhouses. They are more for handling some war chores. We will be fine.”
Su Jiu smiled lightly, waved her hand, and then met Weir’s even more incomprehensible eyes, and said very seriously, “And medical skills cannot save more people. We need more international power. As long as we take a few more photos to prove the unreasonableness of this war and the harm it has caused to civilians, public opinion will gradually lean towards you.”
“No Battle King Level?”
Hearing Su Jiu’s words, Weir’s expression was first slightly stunned. She could hear the inexplicable confidence in Su Jiu’s words. Just as she was about to ask a question, she fell silent after hearing the latter part, and finally, only two words came out of her mouth:
“Thank you.”
After a slight pause, Su Jiu looked into the distance. The vampire’s pupils seemed to flicker with a spark of starlight. She smiled and continued, “Then, perhaps the Peace Proposal can be implemented early under pressure… In this era of internet development, don’t underestimate the power of public opinion.”
She would not fabricate photos. Although she realized it was an invasion war, the only way to make these photos successful was to be truthful!
There were still nine hours before Yela’s army arrived.
With the help of external qi fluctuations, after arriving here, Su Jiu and the other two had gradually approached the military base on the map. Therefore, they could occasionally see one or two figures, but they were all very ethereal and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Occasionally, hawk cries could be heard from the sky.
“Are these patrol war eagles? A temporary base actually has such specially trained war eagles.”
Hearing the hawk cry, Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed. She had seen the old soldier on the watchtower use this thing when defending Seattle. However, that was used to detect monsters, while this was used to prevent people from approaching.
“Take this and lie down here without moving. I’ll go ahead and take a look.”
In a ditch, Su Jiu took out a small hidden formation and handed it to Weir, instructing her softly, and then signaled Bairnis to push the wheelchair forward.
…
At the gate of the temporary military zone built with iron fences, several figures were moving, and people in yellow military uniforms occasionally went in and out of the iron fences.
Two soldiers stood at the gate, yawning. Patrolling in this endless desert, the feeling of drowsiness could only be dispelled by chatting.
“Hey! I really don’t understand why we have to guard this broken place all day long. No one dares to come near anyway.”
“After all, there are quite a lot of unspeakable things dealt with inside.”
“Tsk, it’s just like that. It’s mainly because they’re afraid that people from other countries will make trouble if they find out.”
“Haha, after all, those people had their food and water cut off, and the safe zone was also shielded by signals. They can only rely on international rescue for supplies.”
“Do you know what?”
Just as the two were talking, a cold female voice suddenly sounded. The surrounding air seemed to ripple with the release of mental power, and the electronic monitoring equipment directly shorted out, as if it had been invaded.
The person who had just spoken stiffened and continued to laugh, “Do you know that the volunteers they sent were all killed by us? That food became our soldiers’ food… uh.”
“Then… you might really deserve to die.”
The owner of the female voice was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a black robe, and wearing a bamboo hat that obscured her face. The fingertips of the hands resting on the armrests were dripping with blood. Behind her, a girl with a mask was unhurriedly approaching the iron fence.
“Let’s go, let me witness the crimes in this military zone.”
Looking at the two headless corpses, Su Jiu lightly flicked the blood drops from her fingertips and chuckled. However, her smile became increasingly cold. At least Bairnis saw this usually laid-back and silly girl show such an expression for the first time.
Sighing lightly, Bairnis gently nodded. She suddenly remembered Su Jiu’s identity and seemed to understand why she was so angry.
Using the food for refugees as military rations, what about the volunteers who transported the food… they were most likely sacrificed, and perhaps some of them were even Su Jiu’s colleagues.
“Roar—”
“Beep beep—woo woo—”
Suddenly, a hawk cry sounded, and in the sky, continuous alarms rang out. Countless soldiers from the military zone swarmed out from all directions. Their battle beasts looked particularly cold under the sun, while the wheelchair moved slowly, and the two walked as if they saw nothing.
“You are assassins from Eurs, aren’t you? You’re looking for death!”
The leading officer, an Initial Stage Battle General, had malice in his eyes. He strode forward, his great saber radiating a golden yellow light, and directly slashed at Su Jiu and the other.
The surrounding soldiers watched with amusement, not doubting that their commander could defeat the opponent. After all, Eurs had no powerhouses. In this land, a Middle Stage Battle General was already considered very strong.
“I didn’t want to get involved in your fight, but you…”
Just as the golden light was about to approach Su Jiu, she chuckled, waved her black robe, and a blood-red sword light shot out.
“You’ve crossed the line.”
“Plop!”
The blood-red sword light instantly shattered the golden light, and in a flash, the eyes lost their divine light. Then, the body fell heavily to the ground.
The surrounding soldiers were all greatly shocked. Their Initial Stage Battle General of a commander was dead after just one swing?
How strong was the person in the wheelchair?! Eurs was not a barren small country that could easily dispatch such a powerhouse.
“Shoot down the intruders. Thermal weapons are useless against such basic powerhouses, charge with us!”
At this moment, three officers descended from the sky. These three were all around the Middle Stage Battle General level, belonging to intermediate officers who could lead hundreds of people. The leading officer was even close to the High-Rank Battle General level.
Hearing the officer’s words, the crowd seemed to muster their courage, put down their thermal weapons, and picked up their beast-weapons to charge.
“I’m really curious what you’re hiding inside.”
Su Jiu said with a light smile. Soldiers more than a zhang in front of her fell like leeks, one after another, without drawing or sheathing her sword, without any moves.
“Stop her. She doesn’t have a phantom, so she shouldn’t have reached the High-Rank Battle General level.”
Hearing Su Jiu’s voice, the officer’s expression changed slightly. Whatever was inside absolutely could not be discovered. He quickly beckoned a few people to rush forward.
The wheelchair pushed forward, and the girl gently waved her sleeves, killing countless people with blood-red sword light!
Just like the ancient master – Ge Nie! With one step, lives were taken!
Su Jiu never turned Bairnis into a weapon, nor did she say a word, as if casually walking in the streets and alleys, calm and composed.
Terrifying!
Looking at the cloaked figure in the wheelchair, only two words remained in everyone’s minds. They gritted their teeth and retreated. This person might have the same strength as their commander, Half-King Level.
“Who are you?! Eurs can’t have such a powerhouse!”
Finally, a Middle Stage Battle General couldn’t withstand the pressure and looked at the two people leisurely walking in front of him, unable to help but ask. She couldn’t not have reached the High-Rank Battle General level!
“Good night.”
Su Jiu slightly raised her eyes, looked at him, and said softly. Accompanying the words was a blood-red streamer.
In less than a moment, the ground was stained with blood. The road had turned into a blood path, and there were only corpses scattered everywhere.
Passing through several checkpoints, the wheelchair arrived at a place surrounded by high iron sheets. A gust of wind surged at the entrance, carrying a rotten smell and a strong smell of blood, making even the two vampires exchange glances.
“At least thousands of people died inside.”
After all, the soldiers Su Jiu killed earlier only numbered thirty to forty. Compared to the smell of blood here, it was nothing.
The wheelchair continued to move, officially entering the area separated by iron sheets. The two stopped and looked. The black robe was lifted by the yellow sand, revealing Su Jiu’s clean white doctor’s coat below. She murmured as she looked ahead: “Is this a prisoner-of-war camp… or a graveyard?”
In front of them was a closed oval plaza, where the messy ground was covered with dismembered bodies and debris. The yellow soil was dyed black by black blood. There were even floating phantoms condensed on the broken limbs, which were resentful spirits that appeared when people suffered extremely unfair treatment.
And in the very center, where the resentful spirits were most concentrated, there were small mounds. The ground was eroded into black and red. On these simple mounds, there were wooden signs.
“Commander, these wooden signs will be ready soon and can reduce their resentment to a certain extent.”
Soon, a voice came from the corner. An old man with a hoe was sitting there, his face numb. He was smoking and carving something with a small knife on the wooden sign, as if he was adding those small wooden signs.
Su Jiu was silent for a moment, then took a photo. She then had Bairnis push her closer to the wooden signs, and vaguely saw names carved on the wooden signs. Their identity documents were like dog tags, placed next to the wooden signs, looking a bit hypocritical.
“Bama, 43 years old, chef…”
“Belei, 21 years old, university student…”
“Karona, 35 years old, terrorist?”
“Are you referring to the Eurs army?”
…
Most of their identities were normal civilians. Su Jiu also knew what happened to those marked as terrorists.
Next, under the old man’s gaze, they silently looked at the names of the people. Su Jiu saw about several hundred people marked as terrorists, as well as hundreds of civilians and nameless people. Finally, she stopped at a very ordinary yet special sign.
“Rosanna, 23 years old, member of the International Red Cross.”
