Syria, the anti-government armed group Freedom Army camp…
A group of soldiers was patrolling at night. Although the surroundings were very quiet, it could not hide the tension brought by the war. At any moment, the enemy camp's artillery shells would land on their heads.
" Uh…" A young soldier in his twenties who was walking in the middle of the team suddenly knelt on the ground, holding his head. The AK rifle in his hand fell to the ground, and his expression was very painful. Beads of sweat kept oozing out from his forehead and dripping from his chin to the ground.
"What's wrong, Garib?" The teammate beside him immediately asked with concern.
"It's her! She's here!" Garib suddenly shouted in pain.
"Who is it? Garib? Who did you say was coming?"
"Go away and disappear from my sight!"Get out of my body!" Garib waved his hand and threw his teammates a few steps away, while he roared at the air.
"Garib, what's wrong with you?”
"Brother, calm down!"
"Report to the commander!"
Garib's teammates were flustered by this sudden turn of events. This was the first time they had seen such a thing.
" No! Don't do this! Please, Evelynn! I don't want to shoot a little girl!" Garib suddenly picked up the AK47 on the ground and shouted at the tent in front of him.
Garib's teammate, Mahari, shouted,""Garib, put down the gun. There are no little girls here. Everyone here is your comrade! Are you crazy?"
Garib acted as if he did not hear anything and continued to shout,""No! Ah!" Then, he pulled the trigger.
The sleeping camp was instantly awakened by the deafening gunshots. Mahali was lying on the ground before Garib fired and was not shot. However, the other soldiers were not so lucky. No one expected Garib to suddenly shoot. In addition, Garib had made a big fuss earlier. Many soldiers were woken up and went outside the tent to see what was going on. In the end, they were unlucky to be affected.
"Ahhhh!" Garib turned a blind eye to his comrades who had been knocked down by his AK-47. He continued to fire fiercely at the front with his AK-47, shouting as he fired,""Evelynn, you forced me! You forced me!”
" Garib, stop!" Mahali seized the opportunity and pounced on Garib's AK, pointing it at the sky.
Even so, Garib did not release the trigger. The muzzle of the AK was still spitting fire.
" Garib, what are you..." Mahali was stunned halfway through his sentence because he realized that some black lumps had appeared on Garib's face. It looked like black plaque was gradually seeping out from under his skin.
"No, I won't let you hurt my comrades!" Garib's eyes suddenly became clear. He pushed Mahali away and smashed the AK-47 in his hand. Then, he pulled out a sharp dagger from the scabbard tied to his thigh and slashed at his own neck.
Blood spurted out from Garib's neck and splashed all over Mahali's face. Garib's body instantly softened. His expression looked like he was apologizing, but it also seemed like he had been freed. His body fell straight back.
……
"Including the other camps, this is already the fifteenth case of soldiers suddenly losing their minds and shooting in the camp this month.”The commander of the Freedom Army, Mura, said to the staff officer beside him with a serious expression," Those soldiers will either be killed by other soldiers or commit suicide. There were some black plaque on their bodies, which was the common point of the deceased.”
The staff officer flipped through the relevant documents and said seriously,""Commander, it seems like the black plaque isn't the only thing in common. According to the soldiers 'confessions, those soldiers who had lost their minds had all called out the same name-Evelyn.”
"What does that mean?"
The advisor took a deep breath and said,""This at least explains one thing. The soldiers 'mental disorder was definitely not caused by natural factors. In other words, this was all man-made.”
"You mean…the government forces have already begun to use chemical or biological weapons on the battlefield?”The black plaque was obviously abnormal, and it was easy to associate it with chemical or biological weapons.
" Therefore, we should immediately hold a press conference to inform the international community about the use of taboo weapons by the government forces, so that our Western allies will be more actively involved in this war and increase their assistance to us. Only in this way can we have a greater chance of defeating the government forces.”Now, the Freedom Army's strength was not as strong as before. A few years ago, the Freedom Army's attacks on the government forces could be described as unstoppable. At the beginning of the civil war, because of the support of the Western forces, the Freedom Army defeated the government forces and lost cities and land.
However, the good times did not last long. Not long after, with the strong support of the Rossi Country, the government forces launched a fierce counterattack. The city that was originally occupied by the Freedom Army was once again occupied by the government forces. Now, the territory controlled by the Freedom Army was shrinking every day. In the long run, failure was only a matter of time.
Now, Commander Mura's advisor saw a glimmer of hope. As long as the Western forces increased their interference, they had a chance to turn the tables.
After the sun rose, the people began their day. For the people of Shaq Village, as long as they could survive for a day, it was considered a victory. Shaq Village was located on the border controlled by the government and the Freedom Army. Every day, shells would fall into the village. The young and rich people in the village had long fled with their families and belongings. The rest were the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Some of them were children who had lost their elders, and some were elderly who had lost their young children.
In front of a ruined house, a white-haired, wrinkled old lady sat in a rocking chair. She wore a red scarf around her neck, a thin white gown, a long black dress, and a pair of cloth shoes. Beside her was a locked box. The old lady's skin looked like a mummy that had been dehydrated. Her eyes were very prominent, and her skin was even paler than her hair. She was so thin that she was only skin and bones.
"Eat something, Grandma." A ten-year-old child handed a piece of dry bread wrapped in cloth and a small bowl of water to the old lady.
" Ham, you're here again." Compared to the old man's ugly appearance, the old man's voice was filled with gentleness and kindness. The boy named Ham would bring a small piece of bread and a small bowl of water to the old man every day. When the old man opened his mouth to speak, one could vaguely see that his teeth were still intact.
"Hurry up and eat. I still have to go home to take care of my younger brother and sister." After handing the bread and water to the old man, Ham left in a hurry.
The old man looked in the direction Hamm left and muttered,""In this chaotic world, it's already not bad to be able to protect your own life. You actually gave your rations to others. Ham, I hope people like you don't wither prematurely.”
