It had been an entire night since Darwin led them to lure the enemy.
In the wee hours of the morning, the two of them were awakened by a loud explosion.
Kellan rubbed his eyes. He was still dreaming about an open space in his hometown. He and a few of his playmates who had died many years ago were chasing and playing football in the open space.
Hobbs rubbed the corner of his eyes. He quickly woke up. He turned to look at Kellian and found that he was still sleeping, so he did not wake him up. He quietly got up and walked to another room, where the heavily injured Rosio lay on a foam board.
"Are you awake, child?" Hobbs saw that his eyes were open, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Rodeo's reaction was a bit strange.
"A child?" Hobbs called him again. All of a sudden, a bad feeling crept up on him, and he was dumbfounded.
Hobbs 'voice quickly woke up the sleepy Kellen in another room. This time, he was finally awake.
Kellan got off the stone pillar and walked toward the corner. He habitually grabbed his rifle to see what was going on because he was afraid, but having a gun gave him a sense of security.
Ta, ta. Hobbs took two steps forward and then stopped. He dared not go any further. On the foam board lay Rodeo's body, a dead man.
He probably died in the middle of the night, when he and Kellen were still sleeping soundly. They couldn't take the night's battle and hadn't had a good rest for several nights. So last night…
Kellan stood at the bare door, staring blankly at Hobbs 'back.
Hobbs heard Kellian's footsteps and turned around to look at him. He shook his head heavily and told Kai Lian with his eyes," Rodeo was dead.
Kellan's heart trembled when he saw this, and he immediately turned around and ran out. He didn't stop until he ran to the hall on the first floor. He stood at the door, and a cool autumn wind blew against his face along with the smell of gunpowder, which made his stomach feel better.
Kai Lian's mouth was filled with acid. He crouched down, unable to recover for a long time.
Hobbs helped Rosio close his eyes. She found the letter of last words in his pocket and put it away. Then, she took away all the remaining ammunition and food on his body. Hobbs felt bad, so he found a tattered blanket from somewhere and wrapped it around Rosio.
He stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before going out to look for Kellen.
.
"Kai Lian!"
……
"Kai Lian!"
Kellan grabbed his gun and walked back. The two bumped into each other at the door. "I'm here." Kellan spoke in a very low voice, and all his expressions were on his face. Hobbs could tell at a glance that he was very uncomfortable.
" What's wrong?" Hobbs was relieved to see that he was still there. "Why don't you sit on the ground and rest for a while, child?”
"No thanks." Kai Lian shook his head.
Hobbs paused for a few seconds.
"Sacrifices are inevitable in war. This is a fate that we can't stop.”Hobbs crouched down and reached out to help Kel pat off the thick dust on his shoulders. It was all caused by his sleep last night.
Kai Lian lowered his head and didn't speak.
" You're so young. You don't want to do business, but you came to the battlefield to fight. If anything happens to you, what will happen when you go back…"
"Don't say anymore!" Kellan lowered his head, his chest filled with anger.
Hobbs looked at him in surprise. Hobbs retracted his hand, turned his face away, and said nothing more.
After saying that, Kai Lian regretted it. Hobbs was a veteran with rich combat experience, and he was just a coward who didn't even dare to shoot. He was very worried that Hobbs would kill him in a fit of anger just now. His mind was in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts and things flashed through his mind.
"I'm sorry." Kai Lian finally gathered his courage and raised his head to apologize.
Hobbs was stunned and turned to look at him.
.
The weather in the morning was chilly.
Smoke filled the entire street.
Exploded vehicles could be seen everywhere, and they were the eternal beauty of the apocalyptic battlefield.
The four of them slowly advanced under Darwin's lead. On a street filled with ruins, they saw the remains of a huge Mech. The broken wires were spread out, and from time to time, sparks would be produced.
The five of them stopped in their tracks and looked at the mecha.
"Stop looking…Let's go." Darwin patted everyone on the shoulder and advised them to leave.
.
Hobbes tried to contact Darwin again and again. " How strange." He frowned as if he was asking Kellen, who was squatting at the side,""I can't contact the captain."
Kai Lian looked up at him and replied,"I can't contact him either."
"Alright then. Do you know the Federal Times, child?”Hobbs suddenly asked him.
"I've heard of it." Kai Lian stood up and answered him.
"Some people say that Free City will fall completely.”Hobbs placed his hands on his waist. He focused his gaze and saw a building that was faintly visible.
"Did the Federal Times say that?"
"Yes, I am."
" Oh," Kellen replied. He then realized that the Free City Hobbs was talking about was right under their feet.
Hobbs gritted his teeth, his lips slightly tilted to the side. At this moment, the aura of a leader was clearly on his body. He let go of his belt buckle and grabbed a biscuit to eat. At the same time, he told Kai Lian,"Eat something first. We have to do something.”
"I don't have an appetite. I won't eat for now." Kai Lian said.
Hobbs nodded and handed him the water bottle. Kellan looked up at him and said," Thank you." Then, he unscrewed the cap and gulped down the water.
"..." Hobbs pretended not to see him. He was chewing on a biscuit and observing his surroundings from time to time.
Bang bang…
At this moment, the faint sound of a gun rang in their ears.
Kellen raised his gun to boost his courage. He looked up at Hobbs.
Hobbs nodded and told him,""Let's go."
.
"Quick, everyone, keep up!" The 10 valiant soldiers charged towards the roof of the building.
Suddenly, Hobbs and his partner dashed out from the corner of the stairs, raised their guns, and fired at the enemies, catching them off guard.
Bang bang…
Half of the soldiers who had rushed up were shot through by the bullets and fell heavily to the ground. This forced the soldiers behind to retreat quickly.
However, Hobbs was the only one who fired. Kellan hid behind the wall and did not dare to show his head and shoot. He hugged the gun and could not help but tremble when he heard the gunshot close to his ear.
Bang bang…
Hobbs fired three more shots at the ground. He saw the enemies retreat in unison. He had just killed five people, and the other party still had five people.
The soldiers on the ground floor suddenly threw a grenade at the top.
Hobbs heard a click." Go!”
His body trembled and he gasped. He turned around and dragged Kellan into the corridor.
Bang!
After the grenade exploded, the 5 soldiers turned around and chased after the two of them.
The two of them were hiding in an office. It was very spacious inside, and there was a big hole in the wall behind them. However, if they were to attack, they could easily crawl out through this hole. Outside was an urban area with dense ruins.
Hobbs threw away the old magazine and reloaded it. He took a grenade from his waist, bit the ring with half of his teeth, aimed at the door, and threw it far away.
A few valiant soldiers stuck their heads out and quickly pressed in. Suddenly, a round thing flew over from the sky and landed at their feet. They looked down and their hearts instantly turned cold.
"Ahhhhh!"
Bang!
The grenade exploded.
The soldier in front was caught off guard by the Frag Grenade and fell to the ground. He looked at the ceiling with his last breath. The soldier behind him had one of his legs blown off, and he fell heavily to the ground. His entire body was in a pool of blood, and he was in extreme pain.
The enemy rushed in again and concentrated their firepower in their direction.
Hobbs laid down on the ground, and Kel's hands were shaking so much that he could barely hold his gun.
One of the soldiers was lying on the ground and pulling his injured comrade back. The other two were responsible for providing cover fire.
"Why didn't you shoot!" Clack, clack, clack…Hobbs 'fingers quickly assembled the Dengming Bullet onto the tray. He pulled the trigger and buried his body under the table for a second or two. Suddenly, he poked his head out and pulled the trigger in the direction of the enemy.
Bang!
"Ah!"
Fresh blood sprayed into the air, and the soldier widened his eyes in shock. One of his comrades fell to the ground. He twitched in pain. The bullet pierced through his neck, and blood flowed endlessly. Then, he lost consciousness and stared at the ceiling of the office with dead eyes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few rounds flew out and exploded on the ground. A cloud of black smoke and dust heavily injured the soldiers leaning against the wall outside the door.
Hobbs and the other man quickly rushed out of the door. Hobbs took out his pistol and shot the last two enemies.
Bang! Bang!
