~: Fanwai: Budding Seed (2) (1/2)
The world seemed to be messed up overnight.
Sudden flames of war swept over hundreds of countries, international conventions were completely torn up, powerful nations arbitrarily crossed borders, invaded small neighboring countries without warning, and launched unrelenting blitz warfare.
There are different opinions on the root cause of the war. The most talked about is the advent of a certain interstellar civilization, which brought knowledge to subvert the world, but other than that, the people don't know any details.
The attitude of more than a dozen powerful countries to start war is so resolute, as if they want to break an old era, shuffle the cards without breaking or standing.
Within a few months, sixteen small countries were subjugated, and countless people on Seablue became war refugees, some were displaced, and some were taken over by enemy troops and under centralized management.
As a small country bordering Ruilan, a strong neighbor, Golan does not have too many opportunities to choose his destiny. In the face of Ruilan's all-out military bashing, Golan was completely defeated within a few months, losing all the formed armed forces, and let Ruilan rudely ravage.
The city was devastated, and there were scorched building ruins everywhere, and deep pits were blown out of the ground. In some places, black smoke was still blowing straight to the sky, and sporadic gunfire sounded from time to time.
One by one, unkempt and ragged Golan refugees wandered among the ruins, hugged in twos and threes, some of their expressions were numb, like a walking dead, and some had their pupils shrunk, like a frightened bird.
Xiao En followed a group of refugees looking for supplies in the ruins, moving his body laboriously. He was covered with dust and mud. He hadn't been washed for many days. He was dirty and sloppy. He was as thin as a wood, with sunken eye sockets, extremely haggard and numb.
Ruilan's invasion was without warning. After the fire was washed the ground, ground troops were dispatched to station, step by step to wipe out the armed forces of Golan.
During this period, the importance of resettling Golan refugees is not high. The refugee camp has an upper limit. The Ruilan troops spend most of their energy on cleaning up the resistance. They just block the city and don’t have much energy to accommodate all the refugees. , At most occasionally airdrop a little material, so that a large number of Golan refugees can survive in the blocked city.
The city was bombed in the initial rounds, and Sean was lucky to survive, but he had already separated from Mag and others in the chaos. During this period, he could only move in groups with another group of refugees, looking for supplies in the ruins, or It was fighting with other refugees when Ruilan airdropped assistance, like a walking dead, just thinking that it would last a day.
But after this period of time, countless refugees have searched the city over and over again, and almost no materials can be found in the ruins. Survival has become more and more difficult, approaching the limit, and Xiao En and others are walking in the ruins everywhere. It can be seen that most of the corpses of the Golan refugees who died of starvation, thirst, and disease died in recent days.
After going through several ruins, there was still nothing to gain. Xiao En was already starving and staring at Venus. He sat down against the wall and sighed quickly, feeling that his body was extremely heavy, as if he was sinking into the mud.
”Are you okay? Can you continue to look for supplies?”
Boll on the side saw him sitting down, so he leaned over, panting and asking.
He is the new friend that Sean met in this refugee group, and he has taken care of each other and knows each other during this period.
”I'm so hungry... I have no energy...” Shaun made a hoarse voice from his throat almost on fire with thirsty.
”Get up quickly, or other people will find something and you won't have your share.”
Boll went to pull Sean's arm, but he was also exhausted. Under the pull, he slumped and fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and the breath blew away a small piece of dust.
”Let me slow down, I'm too hungry...”
Boll didn't have the strength to get up, and simply arched a few times, leaned against the wall, and leaned against Sean sideways.
Xiao En tilted and almost fell down, but he didn't have the strength to push him away, so he could only close his eyes and hypnotize himself to relieve hunger.
At this moment, Ball suddenly spoke, his tone low and lost:
”Sean, do you think our army can still come to save us?”
”Definitely.” Shaun opened his eyes with difficulty, his voice faint, but his tone firm.
”It's been so long, do you really believe it?” Boll panted and said hoarsely: ”Ruilan is coming so fiercely, and Gelan is already overwhelmed. How can there be time to rescue us? It is better to count on Gelan to send troops to rescue us. Count on Ruilan to accept refugees on a large scale, so that we can at least survive...”
Xiao En gritted his teeth: ”How can you count on the enemy... When they encountered other refugees before, didn't they say that Ruilan was cleaning refugees? Occasionally, they would send ground troops to capture a group of refugees in the city. The Lan refugee camp transported corpses out of the camp for cremation. Who knows what happened.”
Boll was weak: ”As long as I can give me a bite of rice, I can do anything...”
At this moment, a faint noise sounded not far away. The surrounding group, Xiao En and others, and fellow refugees who were searching for the ruins gathered in the past, as if something had happened.
Several fellow refugees who were in a better condition walked to the two of them, pulled Sean and Poll up, and asked.
”How about it, can you still go?”
”It's okay...” Xiao En shook for a moment, leaning on the wall, and asked in confusion: ”What's going on over there?”
”We met another group of refugees, and everyone passed by, lest others would think about robbing us of our supplies.”
Several people answered and rushed over with Sean and Boll.
There are too many refugee groups lingering in the city. Most of the refugee groups help each other to prevent others from being robbed. Even if everyone is the same refugee, some people can’t survive and don’t care about others who are dying. Will not let go of any life-saving straw, it is not uncommon to **** each other and kill each other.
Xiao En and others quickly came to the back of the crowd. They saw that there was another group of refugees who were not big or small. They were also skinny and haggard. The two sides were confronting each other, watching each other vigilantly. In the middle of the two groups were their respective groups. Several representatives of the more prestigious are getting together to negotiate.
Xiao En scanned the opposite side, and was taken aback suddenly, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
In another wave of refugee gangs, he suddenly saw the figures of several buddies such as Mag, and even though they were ragged, he recognized them at a glance.
In these days of hiding in Tibet, Sean never missed a few friends who had scattered. Because the ruins of the city were too large, and various communication signals were blocked by Ruilan, he always searched to no avail. He was always worried about Ma Ge and others met unexpectedly, and unexpectedly met by chance today, without suffering.
”Mag...Mag!”
Sean was surprised, ignoring the others, raised his arms, and called Mag's name in a hoarse voice.
Because of her weakness, she couldn't make a loud voice, but it still attracted the attention of some people.
Mag, who was not far away, moved his ears and cast his eyes in confusion, looking for who was calling his name.
But at this moment, the harsh engine roar suddenly sounded, from far to near.
”Tututututututu-”
I saw an armed convoy of Ruilan rampage on the badly damaged streets of the city, drove straight toward this side, and seemed to lock its position.
”Ruilan!”
