Just when Wei Ran was trying to comfort Okan, who looked guilty, the girl named Heike left a kiss mixed with tears on Host's face, and then looked at him with nostalgia.
Sophie and Qi Qi, who were running towards her, glanced at their underage companions and finally turned around without looking back. Under Wei Ran's horrified gaze, they took off and ran towards the direction of the minefield!
"Stop it!"
"Get down quickly!"
Sophie and Wei Ran shouted different reminders in unison. However, before the others could react, a flash of fire appeared at Heike's feet, and a ring of dense fog surged.
The shock wave!
"boom!"
There was another deafening explosion, and Wei Ran, who was lying down subconsciously, could clearly feel something warm being sprinkled on his face.
"Haike!" Sophie and Qiqi collapsed and knelt on the ground, looking with tears in their eyes at the broken body that was thrown up by the shock wave and then thrown into the minefield.
"Boom!" There was another dull explosion, and Hai Ke's mutilated body was completely swallowed up by mud and gunpowder smoke.
"Heck!"
Sophie and Qiqisi shouted with heartbreak. The children who had followed them all looked blankly at the thick fog being pushed away, at the blood-red spots falling on their clothes, and at the bowls being thrown around.
If it falls, there will be rags, stumps, and soil with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke falling down like snow.
"ah-----!"
Okan, who was responsible for leading the way, let out a desperate cry, turned around and bit the hand holding his wrist, and at the same time grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it into Wei Ran's eyes.
The moment Wei Ran subconsciously let go of his hand and closed his eyes because of the pain, this child, who was almost as old as Dominic, was already striding towards the minefield!
"don't want!"
Wei Ran's eyes were blurred by the mud and he subconsciously wanted to get up and chase him out. However, before he could stand firm, the mist accumulated in this despairing dense forest was once again carried away by the shock wave and pushed away.
"boom!"
The ensuing explosion completely froze Wei Ran, who was rubbing his eyes. When he tried to open his eyes, he found that Okan, whose legs had been broken by the explosion, was crawling forward with difficulty.
He also used his body to mark a blood-red safe passage in the center of this minefield.
"boom!"
There was another dull explosion, and the thin body was easily overturned. Then, it hit a piece of clean moss heavily, and there was no movement at all.
There was a soft "pop" sound, and a blackened arm fell at Wei Ran's feet.
Slowly bending down, Wei Ran clearly saw that the wrist of this arm was wrapped with a silver metal chain, and in the palm of his hand was a pocket watch-style compass that was supposed to be a gift to his brother.
Carefully removing the compass, Wei Ran opened the slightly deformed watch case. Under the cracked watch mirror, the small luminous pointer, after some swings, pointed in the north-south direction again.
Sighing secretly, Wei Ran looked at the sluggish children behind him, at the two girls slumped on the ground, and finally at the flashlight beam that was vaguely visible in the thick fog far away behind him.
"I hope failing the mission won't kill me..."
Wei Ran took a deep breath, and by putting the compass in his pocket, he took out the wine bottle from the metal book, and walked towards the opposite side of the minefield along the safe passage he had bought with his life.
As he left, he unscrewed the lid and took a big gulp of the red wine that he had withheld as an assistant to the quartermaster.
As he stepped on one footprint after another, as he passed Heike's body and Okan's body, he finally stopped.
Taking a final look at the children behind him, Wei Ran took another sip of wine, then put away the wine bottle, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and took a big step forward.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Wei Ran took the third step, the fourth step, and the fifth step!
At the same time, Qiqi was the first to stand up, tear off the blanket that served as a cloak, throw away the submachine gun she had been carrying, and follow the guard firmly.
Burn.
Sophie looked at the friends around her, took a deep breath and stood up, following Qiqi who was walking in front at a distance.
After a while, among the children, several older girls or boys stood up, each threw away the weapons in their hands, lined up silently, separated from each other at a distance, and walked into Lei Lei by following the footsteps of their predecessors.
district.
When the stretchers carrying Dominic and Nadia also entered the minefield, there were only blankets, weapons, and long-emptied lunch boxes and water bottles left on the side of the barbed wire fence on the border.
.
At the front of the team, Wei Ran, who was already covered in cold sweat, started walking faster and faster, and finally even started running.
Gradually, Sophie and Qi Qi completely caught up with him. Gradually, a few older ones also pulled a younger one to catch up. Gradually, even the two stretchers with the wounded and the
Okan's younger brother, Jonas, who was blind in one eye, also let a girl who was a few years older than him lead him to catch up.
During the almost tiresome running, the minefield behind him had already been swallowed up by the thick fog.
"Boom!" Another explosion sounded, but this time, it came from behind Wei Ran and others.
After the explosion, the flashlight beams chasing them stopped completely after swaying for a while, and finally changed directions, completely hiding in the thick fog.
Finally, as the density of pine trees became lower and lower, traces of human activities gradually appeared in the dense fog.
Finally, when the pine trees blocking the sky and the sun no longer appeared in the field of vision directly ahead in the thick fog, but farmland and wooden houses appeared, everyone stopped.
"Come with me...come with me!"
After Sophie determined the direction, she searched on the telephone pole near the forest, and then led everyone to change directions and started running wildly.
Finally, when it was completely light, Sophie led everyone into a farm.
After just a few brief exchanges with the farmer holding a shotgun, the farmer immediately welcomed everyone into the warm wooden house.
"We are safe"
Before Sophie, who was sweating profusely, finished speaking, almost all the children collapsed on the ground. Some of them hugged their companions and laughed heartily, some secretly wiped their tears, and some looked at them blankly.
The direction I came from, I miss those companions who will never be able to follow.
"Jonas" Weiran walked to the one-eyed little wounded man and sat next to him on the floor covered with blankets.
"Victor" Jonas said hello absentmindedly and looked outside the door again - even though the wooden door had already been closed by the farmer.
"Happy birthday"
Wei Ran said, spreading his hand and handing the pocket watch-style compass to the other party, "Jonas, today is your birthday, right?"
Jonas was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and took the pocket watch that had not yet been wiped clean of blood. The originally tight little face finally had some expression, and tears fell down.
"Your brother helped everyone open a safe passage."
Wei Ran held the little guy in his arms, "He saved everyone. He saved everyone with his own life."
"Is he dead?" Jonas confirmed repeatedly, "Okan is dead and will never come back, right?"
"Sorry..." Wei Ran was silent for a moment, "Sorry, Okan, your brother Okan will never come back."
"I know." Jonas sniffed, "I know."
"Victor, leave him to me." Qiqi walked to Wei Ran and whispered, "Go and see Dominic, he's awake."
"Okay, okay."
Wei Ran let go of Jonas in his arms, stood up holding on to the wall, and walked into the room that the farmer had temporarily cleared as an operating room.
Using the cover of his backpack, Wei Ran once again took out the kerosene gas lamp from the metal book and lit it as quickly as possible and placed it on the table.
Under his busy schedule alone,
The wound on Dominic's leg has been further treated, but in the face of the lost egg of this young man who has just begun to fall in love, the only thing Wei Ran can do is to help him re-sew the broken eggshell as beautifully as possible.
Some.
"Victor"
Dominic, who was lying on the bed, was silent for a moment, looked at the roof and said almost numbly, "Kill me."
"You are not qualified to die"
Wei Ran said while helping the other party give him an injection of anti-inflammatory drugs seized from the US military, "Your life depends on Host, Okan, Heike, the American soldiers Buck and Timov, and of course, me.
, Sophie, Qiqi and even Okan's brother Jonas are all rewarded for their efforts and sacrifices. If you want to die, you can just ask for it when you are injured, so as not to waste such a big life.
Strength and few medicines."
"I…"
"You just lost two eggs. You're lucky. The most important parts are intact and can still be used."
Wei Ran lowered his voice as much as possible and said while helping the other party bandage the wound, "You can still live like a man in the future. Believe me, missing those two balls will not affect you at all."
"Really?" Dominic's face became more angry, "But Nadia..."
Wei Ran stopped what he was doing and said very seriously, "If you think Nadia is in love with those two balls of yours, I will help you find Nadia to confirm later."
"No, forget it, no, don't ask." Dominic panicked and rejected Wei Ran's kindness.
"So live well, you are still young, and you still have many possibilities in the future."
Having said this, Wei Ran also finished bandaging the other party's wounds, looked around, pulled a blanket over Dominic's body, then turned around and opened the door, "Next."
Before he finished speaking, two young men carried Dominic away along with the stretcher underneath him, and then two more girls carried Nadia into the room.
"Victor," Nadia, who was lying on the bed, asked in a low voice, "Dominique, is he okay? Is his life in danger..."
"He is fine and his life is not in danger."
Wei Ran helped the other party reinject half of the tube of morphine, put on gloves and prepared things that might be used, and said, "For the rest, I think it's best for you to talk about it yourself."
"That's good"
Nadia let out a long breath, held back her shyness and pulled down a small section of her blood-stained pants, revealing the hideous wound on her butt, as well as the broken glass or sawdust still embedded in the wound.
