C261 Psalm in the Fire (1/2)

In a field filled with lush grapes, Lei Ao sprinted westward along a ravine. As a Prussian with strict moral standards, not saving someone from death was the biggest sin and he would be sentenced after death.

”Selfish Chinese, the rumors were indeed correct about them. These inferior people who have abandoned their morals should walk towards the cemetery …”

Leo looked at the burning sky in the distance, thinking of the helpless orphans surrounded by fire, and the hesitant faces of the Chinese, as if he had swallowed a brazier of charcoal.

We can understand the feelings of this freelance writer, the forest trained by the New Army is the closest to the fire, as long as these Chinese are willing, they can reach the fire as fast as they can, even faster than hamburger's fire brigade.

However, at the most critical moment, they actually backed off. For the sake of that shitty Prime Minister, could a single person's safety be above that of a group of people? The Empire was truly muddle-headed to be involved with these people.

Leo ran with all his might. He had used up almost all of his energy, and it didn't take long before he was out of breath.

At the end of the day, he was just a scholar writing on a desk. His physical fitness was already very poor. Even running five kilometers across the fields would take his life.

Sure enough, after running for over two thousand meters, he tripped on something and threw himself onto the grape arbor. The strong vines cut through his clothes and skin, and blood flowed profusely from his forehead.

”Leo!” How is it? ”Are you hurt?” Jonas ran over and helped him up.

”I really hate myself. Why am I so useless …” Leo covered the wound on his forehead, tears trickling down his cheeks.

Jonas was also infected by Lei Ao's emotions, but what's the use of being anxious and angry. In the pitch black night and being in a grape field filled with weeds?

At that moment, they suddenly heard a hubbub behind them. Chaotic footsteps pressed against the ground as they rushed towards them. Before they could even wake up, figures could be heard running past them one by one.

”We are not as good as you at writing, but do you want to compete with us in a night march? ”You'd better not think about it …”

Everyone was in a state of battle, and one black shadow after another moved like cheetahs, charging towards the west as three hundred people swept across the land.

”Leo, remember your duties... Tell the whole of Europe what kind of army we are, what kind of people we Chinese are... ”

”I'm sorry, I was wrong to blame you …” Lei Ao looked at the Forces nouvelles soldiers s who were rushing past him, and tears started streaming down her face uncontrollably.

At this time, Jonas took off the photographic equipment from her back and returned it to Leo. ”This is your weapon, the only thing you can do is to record the postures of these warriors, and not let them bear the shame of cursing again … ”As for those words of apology, it's better to swallow them into your stomach …”

Lei Ao and Jonas supported each other as they ran towards the burning grounds. At this time, the s of the new army had already rushed out of the grape field and stepped onto the dirt road that led to the city.

The location of the fire was indeed the winery that Lei Ao had guessed. In just a short period of time, the winery was already covered in flames and all the windows and doors were on fire.

Not only was the winery hopeless, even the surrounding houses and warehouses had been set on fire. No one knew what exactly was stored in those warehouses, and the smoke and dust in the air carried an extremely pungent smell.

”Sir, look!” Is that the orphanage Mr. Leo was talking about? ” Following the shouts of the sentries, everyone turned their attention to the alley to the north of the street. That was the place where most of the people had been rescued.

”There's no mistake. No one's going to save so many burning places. Everyone's gathered there. It must be that orphanage …”

At the northwest corner of the fire site, in the depths of an alley between two buildings, was the orphanage that was surrounded by raging flames. Now that the fire site had surrounded the orphanage, not to mention saving people, they couldn't even get past this street that was spewing raging flames.

Buckets of cold water were poured onto the street and turned into white smoke. The surrounding residents were all gathered here. There were even some women who fainted on the street corner. The crackling of the flames, mixed with the cries of women and children and the voice of the old man praying for God, and more of the confused footsteps of the fireman.

”That won't do, the flames are too big. We can't even get close …”

”God has abandoned these children. By the time we extinguish the flames in the alley, the orphanage inside will have been completely burnt down …”

”Wuwuwu …” ”No, absolutely not. God will not abandon these children. You are blasphemous!”

”Then what do you think we should do? With such a large fire site, what do you think we should do …”

The crowd was in a state of chaos, and everyone seemed to have thoughts of giving up. Those aged elders thought of those adorable and naive children, and they burst into tears.

”Make way... Get Out of the way... Who has a blanket, take it out quickly... ”The more the better …” Just as everyone was about to give up hope, a strange accent came from the east side of the street. All the people of hamburger present had never heard such a strange accent.
