Chapter 235
Lu Er would never have thought that Boss Rong had no intention of going home at all.
After sunset, the ruined city was bathed in a dark blue darkness. The air was filled with a putrid stench that even the evening breeze couldn't dispel, perhaps the stench of corpses emanating from beneath the ruins.
The sporadic bombings in recent days have left this Oriental Pearl Tower in ruins. Occasionally, survivors huddle in the shadows of the ruins on the street, with numb expressions and nowhere to go, not even sure if they can survive tomorrow.
Tap, tap! The survivor was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps. He curled up in the biting cold wind and looked out from the broken gap.
Under the cold white moonlight, a tall, thin black figure walked in from the darkness in the distance. I was startled at first sight, thinking that there were too many dead bodies and finally a two-headed ghost appeared.
When I got closer, I found that it was an adult holding a child. At this time, people are panicking and they have to look around and quicken their pace when walking on the road. How could someone walk slowly on the road in the middle of the night with a child in his arms, so leisurely and yet out of place?
Under the pale moonlight, one could see the clear lines of his face, his eyebrows and eyes in the shadows. He was wearing a Western suit and leather shoes, his long black hair was gathered back in a low ponytail. There was something eccentric about him, yet on him it seemed calm and natural. His attire made him look like someone he couldn't afford to offend.
Watching the man walk away and disappear into the darkness just as he came, the survivor quickly retracted his head and shrank back into the shadows.
Is that the International Settlement over there? To be able to pass through the blockade must mean someone of high status. I envy you! If you could get there, you'd be safe.
Rong Zhou followed Liu Huixin back to school and settled down for the night. The next day, the bombings followed.
Rong Zhou looked up at the enemy planes flying across the sky. At this moment, he missed the technological weapons stored in his home very much. Even if his shooting skills were not up to standard, the weapons might be automatically locked.
Damn Lu Lao Er, he is a professional doctor, do you want him to go into the sky and give acupuncture to the airplane?
The school was bombed, and some of the surviving teachers and students chose to go home while others joined the army. Rong Zhou was indifferent and had no choice but to separate from this group of passionate young people.
Under the deep blue night sky, the buildings are all black outlines. The only landmark is the black cross covered with crows on the spire.
Gurgle, the sound of pebbles being kicked and rolling.
Rong Zhou stopped outside the church. Zhang Huixin had said before that there was a foreign church near the International Settlement that would adopt orphans. It seemed that this church had not escaped the disaster either.
Rong Zhou patted the sleeping child on his shoulder and walked into the church, which, despite its seemingly collapsed gate, was otherwise relatively sturdy. He decided to rest here tonight and see if there was a chance to send the child to the International Settlement tomorrow, where it would be relatively safe.
He walked through the rows of church pews, sat down at the innermost seat, and placed the child on the bench in a fairly comfortable position.
When I looked up, I saw the dark shadow of Jesus on the cross in front of me. In order to restore the relationship between the first human beings and God, which was separated from God due to their sins, God sent his only son Jesus to become flesh. With his sinless body, he took on all the sins of mankind. Through his death and blood on the cross, he cleansed the sins of believers, reconciled people with God, and gave them eternal life.
The corpse in the priest's clothes at the door had gained eternal life. Rong Zhou couldn't even raise the corners of his mouth.
Until now, Rong Zhousheng still doesn't know what to do. No matter how hard he tries to save people, they will always die. This humiliation will not change because of what he does. It will eventually become history and he will become stronger.
He didn't know what the point of sitting here was. Should he continue to save those who were destined to disappear in time, or...
“I'm sorry. You must be feeling sad. Are you praying to the Lord”
A gentle female voice came from behind the curtain on the side of the prayer altar.
When Rong Zhou came in, he knew there was someone hiding there. He didn't feel any danger so he ignored it. Only when the other party spoke did Rong Zhou look over there.
The curtains swayed, and a figure stood up from its hiding place. With a flicker, a match was struck, lighting the candle on the prayer table. The dim flame lit the candle, and only then could the figure be clearly seen in the darkness: a foreign woman dressed in a nun's attire.
"I have no idea?" Rong Zhou's tone was flat, unable to conceal the confusion in his voice.
The nun was slightly surprised. When she lit the candle just now, she saw that it was a man with an oriental face. She thought that the other party didn't understand what she said, but she didn't expect to get a response. She was surprised and her guard dropped a little. "- If you're stuck for now, why not pause for a moment?" If you can't figure it out for the time being, you might as well pause first.
"I think what you need right now isn't prayer, but to get out of here and find a safe place. This place can't guarantee you won't be hit by bombs."
The nun standing in the distance gently advised them to leave, saying that even under the holy light it was not a safe place.
Rong Zhou didn't answer her question, but instead raised his own question: "Why didn't you leave here? It should be easy for you to enter the concession, and no one would embarrass you as a foreigner."
“The Lord guided me here to lead people out of suffering.”
If Lu Er had heard what the nun said, he would have started to mock her a long time ago. Rong Zhou was like meeting a big monk, and he was too lazy to even say his own opinion.
"The Lord truly loves everyone in the world—hiss." Before she could finish her long speech about God's love, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle when she moved slightly. She gasped in pain and held onto the table to steady herself.
Rong Zhou, who was sitting on the bench, didn't move. He observed for a moment and then said calmly, "Do you need my help? I'm a doctor."
So this is also Rong Zhou's professional ethics.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes instantly lighting up, her hands unconsciously clenched together, and her voice was filled with unconcealed joy: "Oh my God! This is too good to be true! This must be God's arrangement. He really heard our prayers! He sent a doctor here."
"Sir, please save my children. Some of them are seriously injured." The nun completely let down her guard and dragged her injured ankle towards Rong Zhou. The expression on her face was a mixture of surprise and worry.
It was totally unexpected that the strange guest who entered the church late at night was actually a doctor. It was simply amazing. It must have been the Lord's arrangement.
