Subconsciously looking in the direction from which he came, Wei Ran, who was hiding in the shadow of a doorway on the street, hesitated briefly for less than a second before finally raising his gun again, aiming at a gun-wielding Falangist member and pulling the trigger.
Hit the trigger!
"Da da!"
Amidst the hoarse and dark short firing sound of the low-sounding MP5, the militant who was running towards the firefighting building was immediately shot in the chest and fell to the ground.
Thanks to the noise from the flares that hit the night sky from time to time, and even more to the cover of gunfire near and far, as well as the weak muzzle flash of the submachine gun in my hand.
With this series of advantages, it wasn't until Wei Ran moved his gun and killed the third militant that someone finally found his location.
For a moment, the remaining militants No. 78 either concentrated fire on the position where he was hiding to suppress him, or moved over under the cover of their companions, preparing to throw the grenade in their hands into the doorway where Wei Ran was hiding.
Almost as Wei Ran took out a grenade and was about to throw it out, another clear gunshot was heard from the direction behind him.
"boom!"
The moment the gunfire rang out, a Falangist militant who was about to throw a grenade in was also shot in the chest and fell to the ground while lying on his back. The grenade in his hand also hit the ground with a grunt as the others screamed.
on the ground.
"boom!"
Amidst the dull explosion, Wei Ran first heard screams, and then a loud reminder in Arabic, French and even English - "Sniper!"
Why the hell don't you speak French and English?
Wei Ran muttered angrily, but at the same time he put away the grenade he just took out without any delay, turned around and ran up to the second floor.
"boom!"
After the second gunshot, a newly emerged Falangist had his head lifted by a bullet, and the others subconsciously hid in the houses on both sides.
While the Falangists were being suppressed by snipers from afar, Wei Ran had already arrived at the window on the second floor, aimed at the shouting militants hiding in the doorway across the road, and pulled the trigger.
"Da da!"
After two more weak gunshots connected together, the militant who was about to poke his head was hit in the shoulder and head respectively. Before he fell to the ground, Wei Ran had already moved the muzzle of his gun and aimed at another militant.
The trigger was pulled.
"Da da da!"
After another series of bursts of fire, Wei Ran retracted his gun decisively, took out the grenade just now, pulled out the ring and threw it on the stairs leading downstairs.
Amidst a clanging sound, the grenade hit the steps and jumped down, causing two people to exclaim.
"Bang! Bang!"
Just before the grenade exploded, the distinctive clear sound of SVD gunfire came from outside again.
"boom!"
Almost at the same time as the grenade exploded, Wei Ran had already grabbed the second grenade and thrust it out of the window, letting it fall freely to the first floor directly below.
"Da da da!"
Almost immediately, someone diagonally across the street started firing at the window, and soon after, Wei Ran also saw two grenades being thrown in.
"grass"
Wei Ran felt a chill in his heart and left the room with a swoop.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After three consecutive explosions, Wei Ran rolled and crawled back to the first floor amidst the gunfire of SVD.
After listening carefully, he threw a grenade again and walked out with the gun the moment after the explosion.
Thanks to the cooperation of the sniper in the distance who was highly suspected of being a hot air balloon, as well as some mental calculations and unintentional calculations, the exchange of fire just now had left Falange members lying on the street.
"boom!"
Just at this moment, another gunshot was heard from behind, and a flowerpot placed at the door of a doorway on the right side was shattered with a crash.
After getting the hint, Wei Ran immediately moved the muzzle of his gun and fired a few bullets into the door, then picked up a broken brick and threw it in.
As the bricks fell to the ground, the people inside also let out panic and desperate screams, as well as a faint crashing sound.
At the same time, Wei Ran ran in quickly, aimed at a figure lying on the ground and pulled the trigger.
Wei Ran easily killed the enemy, and was not in a hurry to leave. He roughly searched the body and picked up two grenades and an American compressed biscuit. As for the AK submachine gun he used, it was useless.
Not touched.
Looking towards the direction of the second floor where he was trying his best to suppress his cries, Wei Ran cleared his throat and reminded in Arabic, "The enemy downstairs is dead and he has weapons on him."
After saying that, he didn't care whether the people still alive on the second floor understood what he meant. He turned around and walked out of the room. After observing at the door for a while, he ran towards the body of the next militant.
With the help of the sniper in the distance, Wei Ran reloaded and searched the corpse as quickly as possible. At the same time, he loudly reminded the people around him in Arabic to pick up the weapons on the corpse and be careful at any time.
Falangists may come to support.
In less than two minutes, he took two packs of 9mm bullets and several grenades found from the corpse and quickly left the street where fighting was likely to start again soon.
The difference is that this time he ran in the direction of the sniper. Regardless of whether the other party was a hot air balloon or not, he had just completed the language task and had shown his sincerity. Next, it was time to meet the other party.
It's time.
Running wildly along the street, before Wei Ran reached the house where the sniper was suspected to be, there was a fierce exchange of fire from that direction.
"Mr. Dongfeng, this way."
Just when Wei Ran was about to go over to help, someone from an alley on the side of the road shouted in French - it was a woman's voice.
"Who are you?" Wei Ran asked as he ducked into the alley.
"Come with me"
The woman wearing a headscarf and holding a silent MP5 submachine gun did not answer. She just said as if she was identifying herself, "It was the hot air balloon that asked me to pick you up."
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately quickened his pace and allowed the other party to lead him through this alley and then ran into another alley.
When they finally stopped, it was a "dead end" surrounded by several houses, or a "patio"-like open space.
This open space is no more than five meters square, and there is a straight and slender cedar tree planted in the middle. Its dense branches even touch the outer walls of the surrounding buildings.
"Come with me"
The woman urged Wei Ran again and asked Wei Ran to get into a dirty window.
"We meet again"
Almost as soon as Wei Ran stood firm, the window behind him was also closed, and then he heard the sound of the hot air balloon in the bright flashlight beam.
"It was really you just now?"
Wei Ran asked as he turned around, and then he saw that the hot air balloon that was closing the window was actually holding the SVD in its arms.
"Did something happen?" the hot air balloon asked curiously, "Why did you run out too?"
"Who is she?" Wei Ran did not answer the question, but pointed to the woman next to him who was lighting a candle.
"She is Lina, my wife's brother's wife." After a moment's pause, the hot air balloon added, "She is also an 8th Liberation fighter, and she is my middle school classmate."
What is the relationship between brother-in-law and elder sister-in-law?
Wei Ran subconsciously defined the relationship between the two people in his mind according to his own understanding.
"Hello, Mr. Dongfeng, thank you for helping us."
While talking, the elder sister-in-law named Lina also took off her headscarf and stretched out her hand towards Wei Ran.
Wei Ran shook hands with the other party politely, and Wei Ran also tried his best to suppress the surprise in his heart and eyes. This was definitely a beautiful woman, but there were horrible cut scars and round marks left by cigarette butt burns on her face.
point.
Obviously, she had suffered abuse, which made Wei Ran subconsciously think of the abuse the landlady suffered before she committed suicide.
"I'm actually here to find you." Wei Ran released his hand and looked back at the hot air balloon.
"What happened?" The hot air balloon immediately became nervous.
"We are preparing to take the children out of the refugee camp." Wei Ran pulled up a chair and sat down as he spoke.
This room is more like a utility room, filled with all kinds of dusty debris. The only window has been tightly blocked by a wooden board wrapped in a blanket, and the door, which is not that big, is also blocked by wooden bars.
Hold it firmly.
"How to leave?" The woman named Lina asked subconsciously.
"We predict that the Falange may temporarily withdraw and reorganize before dawn. That may be the only window of time to escape from the refugee camp."
While Wei Ran recounted their plan, he also took out the captured bullets and placed them on the table, then pressed them into the submachine gun magazine one by one.
“Exactly as we predicted”
The hot air balloon replied, "We are going to attract the enemy, and when the time is right, we will break out in the direction of the Gaza Hospital."
"What do you need me to do?" Wei Ran asked.
"We can't take everyone with us"
The hot air balloon said with difficulty and sobriety, "Lina and I will organize a group of people to find ways to open the gap. Dongfeng, what you have to do is to lead as many people as possible away from the gap we opened with others, especially to let all the people leave."
Maybe more kids will leave."
"We still have wounded people," Wei Ran reminded.
"We can't take them away"
The hot air balloon clenched his fists and said, "I need you to take those who are able to escape to the direction of the Gaza hospital, and use your identity as Doctors Without Borders to help them get protection in the hospital."
"What about you? Where are you?" Wei Ran, who was busy pressing the bullet, asked after a moment of silence.
"We are here to protect those who have no way to leave," Lina said almost subconsciously, "to protect everyone who needs protection."
"Aren't you ready to escape?" Wei Ran raised his head and asked again.
"Our home is here and our family is here."
While talking, the hot air balloon got up and walked to the wooden door of this small room. He removed the top door bar and opened the wooden door. He pointed to the yard with weeds outside and said, "Look, this is my wife's home and the home of Lina and her husband."
, but they are all dead, what qualifications do I have to leave here?"
Glancing at the deserted yard outside the door, Wei Ran sighed, finally stood up and said, "Okay, I understand, what do you need me to do?"
"Hang a bright enough light on the roof of the hospital"
The hot air balloon said, "When we find the opportunity, I will shoot and smash the lamp. At that time, you organize all those who are able to run out and run towards the Gaza hospital together. Just leave the rest to us."
"I will bring this news back immediately." Wei Ran paused, "I will also hang a bright enough light on the roof of the hospital."
"When I smash the lamp, just run out as fast as you can."
The hot air balloon finally reminded, "Leave the rest to us. No matter who falls, don't stop. Only by running into the Gaza hospital can you really survive."
"Okay" Wei Ran nodded with difficulty.
Before he could say anything else, Lina had already opened the sealed window, and the hot air balloon blew out the candles at the same time.
"I hope we have a chance to meet again," the hot air balloon said as Wei Yan was about to get out of the window.
“We will definitely meet again”
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he put the only two unloaded magazines on his belt, put away the remaining bullets, and left behind some of the compressed biscuits and all the grenades he had captured.
"Next time we meet, if I die, remember to look around me for any film." The hot air balloon said casually in a joking tone.
"I would rather you hand those films over to your friends."
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he stepped out of the window and let the woman named Lina lead him through the narrow alleys and sent him to the side entrance of the hospital.
Watching Lina turn around and disappear into the intertwined light and shadow of the night and the flares, Wei Ran sighed, picked up the weapon and returned to the first floor of the hospital.

Edelweiss, who seemed to have been waiting for him at the stairs, had already thrown herself into his arms as he spoke.
"I'm back." Wei Ran gently hugged the girl who had been waiting for him.
"Can we really escape before dawn?" Edelweiss buried her head in Wei Ran's chest and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I can escape."
Wei Ran made a promise, "I also met a hot air balloon, and they will help us escape."
"We can't take everyone away, right?" Edelweiss looked up at Wei Ran and asked.
"no way"
Wei Ran sighed, changed the subject as if to evade, and asked, "Where's the sewing machine and the cradle? I need to arrange the next step with everyone..."
"Refugees who fled to the hospital reached a consensus"
Edelweiss let go of Wei Ran, sniffed, and led him into the negative floor and said, "The refugees who fled to Aka Hospital will help the lightly wounded people run away together."
"This is a good thing. Where are the seriously injured people?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.
"They..." Edelweiss trembled, "They decided to stay, and I, I also plan to..."
"You need to leave"
Wei Ran didn't wait for the other party to finish, and then said, "If you want to leave, it is not much safer than staying. You have to take the children and all the people who escaped to the Gaza hospital, and use your identity as Doctors Without Borders to request Gaza
The hospital takes in all the refugees who escape."
Hearing this, Edelweiss trembled again, "What about you?"
"I..." Wei Ran smiled, "Of course I want to leave with you."
Before the flustered Edelweiss could say anything else, the sewing machine and cradle heard the noise and opened the door.
"I just saw a hot air balloon"
Wei Ran cleared his throat and conveyed the results of his discussion with the hot air balloon to the sewing machine couple and nurse Sophia who came over after hearing the news.
"I will hang the lamp on the roof right now, and I will personally guard the lamp!" Nurse Sophia said, got up and ran out of the room.
"It's the last few hours, let's take a good rest." Wei Ran said before catching up with the remaining three people.
"I'll notify the other doctors here."
Cradle said and stood up, "Edelweiss, come with me."
"good"
Edelweiss nodded, glanced at Wei Ran and the sewing machine who had already taken out the cigarette case, then stood up and followed the cradle out of the office.
"I'm ready to stay"
Sewing Machine threw a cigarette to Wei Ran and said, "After sending you away, I'm going to come back here."
"Is there any reason why you have to stay?" Wei Ran asked.
"I'm a doctor"
The sewing machine replied matter-of-factly, "I can't give up on the wounded I saved, otherwise I will live in self-blame for the rest of my life."
"Where's the cradle?" Wei Ran lit a cigarette and asked, "Are you planning to let her..."
"Let her leave and let her and Edelweiss take the refugees to the Gaza hospital." Sewing Machine said with a smile, "Of course, she doesn't know my decision."
"Where's Yashar?"
Wei Ran continued to ask, "Where is your child Yashar? You decided to abandon your wife and child and die..."
"There's just danger here"
The sewing machine corrected, "I just kept the cradle away from danger. I didn't want to die here."
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Wei Ran asked with a frown.
"Those Falangists will not attack us"
Sewing Machine has his own plans, "They may kill children, kill refugees and Palestinian medical workers in hospitals, and kill women, but they have no reason to attack us."
"What do you want to say?" Wei Ran asked.
"And you?"
The sewing machine asked almost bluntly, "Do you choose to stay or escape?"
"Is this an invitation?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"certainly"
Sewing Machine nodded, "I hope we can form a two-person medical team to stay and take care of and protect the wounded who have no way to leave."
"I accept your invitation"
Wei Ran responded particularly happily, and it was only then that he was able to confirm that this was the "invitation" mentioned in the return mission.
"you..."
"I said, I accept your invitation."
Wei Ran didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking before repeating again. This was a request to return to the mission. He had no room to refuse. In this case, it would be better to simply agree.
The sewing machine opened its mouth, and finally said "thank you" in a heartfelt voice.
"Time is precious, spend time with your wife."
Wei Ran sighed in his heart as he spoke. He almost had a premonition that the decision made by the sewing machine at this moment would be the difference between life and death.
"You should also accompany Edelweiss," Sewing Machine said with a smile as she put out the cigarette she had only taken a few puffs on. "She is a good girl who is as kind as an angel."
"yes..."
Wei Ran sighed feebly, stood up and opened the door, and saw the cradle standing outside the door covering his mouth.
Obviously, this woman, who is as kind as an angel, has heard the conversation between them.
Wei Ran didn't know what to say. All he could do was to open the door, let the cradle in, and then help close the door from the outside.
"Do you want to stay too?" Edelweiss, who was leaning against the wall on the side of the door, asked quietly, "I heard it just now."
"right..."
Wei Ran gritted his teeth and let the other party throw herself into his arms, letting her hug him tightly, still smiling and saying, "I decided to stay."
"I'll stay too, let me stay too." Edelweiss said almost like pleading.
"You have to escape, take the refugees, especially the children."
Wei Ran said hard-heartedly, "This is a more dangerous mission than staying. You and Cradle must take them to escape to the Gaza hospital and help them seek shelter as Médecins Sans Frontières."
"Shouldn't I have suggested coming to the refugee camp in the first place?" Edelweiss asked self-reproaching.
"If we had not fled into the refugee camp, we might be dead now."
Wei Ran comforted him softly, "It's not our fault, it's the Filiers and the Falangists who are at fault."
After saying that, Wei Ran gently pushed the girl in his arms away. Under the puzzled gaze of the other party, he pulled out the silenced Makarov pistol from his waist and handed it to the other party, "Can you use it?"
"
"I used my grandfather's PPK pistol"
Edelweiss had already pulled the sleeve as she spoke, then reached out and caught the bullet that jumped out.
"I'll leave this gun to you for self-defense. Its sound is small enough and its recoil is very small, but its power and accuracy are pretty good."
As Wei Ran spoke, he took the bullets and pistol from the other party's hand, put the bullets back into the magazine and said, "I keep them for self-defense, not for you to fight the chairmen or the Falangists."
As he spoke, he took out a grenade from his pocket and handed it to the other party, "Will this work?"
"You probably know how to use it," Edelweiss said, taking the grenade.
"This is..."
Wei Ran paused, "Leave it to yourself. If you don't want to experience what the landlady has experienced, then this may be your last choice."
Hearing this, Edelweiss's face was obviously a little panicked, but after a moment, she still took the grenade and stuffed it into her pants pocket.
"I also want to leave something for you."
Edelweiss said, suppressing the panic in her heart and rolling up her sleeves, tremblingly taking off the prisoner of war watch from her wrist, and then took off the Soviet arrow watch from Wei Ran's hand.
"You have to live"
Edelweiss said seriously, "I want to see you alive and return my grandfather's watch to me."
"Okay," Wei Ran said hoarsely, agreeing to this hopeless agreement.
On the contrary, Edelweiss seemed to particularly trust Wei Ran. Her overly delicate and protective little face also showed a bright and scary smile.
Putting the watch that was originally on Wei Ran's wrist loosely on her own wrist, Edelweiss stood up on tiptoes again, hugged Wei Ran's neck and gave him a passionate kiss, and then said into his ear,
"I will wait for you to find me at the Gaza hospital. If you never come, I...I will come back to the refugee camp to find you."
"Okay, wait for me...at the Gaza hospital." Wei Ran murmured into the other person's ear and once again made an increasingly detailed agreement.
