After the door was kicked open, three terrified faces were revealed.
They were an elderly couple, and a woman holding a baby less than a month old.
The woman, holding the baby, retreated in fright. Her face, devoid of makeup and pale from lack of food, only accentuated her pitiful beauty.
The elderly couple's husband, with his white hair, held a carrying pole in his hand and warily watched the five uninvited guests in front of him.
The old man's eyes were cloudy, but his back was ramrod straight.
"Oh? Two old geezers, and a young woman?" The blond, fat man licked his lips greedily. "A breastfeeding young woman, huh? Boss, I really like this one!"
"Bullshit, Hu Gaofei! Which woman don't you like? If you're lustful, fine, but don't tarnish the word 'like'." The eldest brother, Lin, couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Hehe, isn't it all the same thing?" Hu Gaofei stared intently at the woman in the house, his eyes like those of a hungry wolf with bloodshot eyes.
"Same old rules, kill the two old ones and the young one, loot their supplies, and take the woman back to have some fun!"
Lin Tu waved his hand expressionlessly, clearly indicating that they were already used to this kind of thing.
Hu Gaofei barged in.
"Stop! Or don't blame me for being impolite! When I was killing enemies on the battlefield, you little brats weren't even born yet!" The old man holding the carrying pole shouted, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Hu Gaofei was startled, and his heart skipped a beat.
The old man's eyes clearly showed that he had killed someone!
So that's how it is. He was once a soldier who defended his country? So what? Now he's just a decrepit old man.
Startled and enraged, Hu Gaofei kicked the old man's carrying pole, breaking it in two. He continued kicking with undiminished force, knocking the old man to the ground.
"Damn it, you still think it's like before? Times have changed, you old codger! What are you pretending for? Huh?"
Hu Gaofei swung his iron fist, and his fists rained down on the old man.
The old man wanted to get up and fight back, wanting to use the fighting techniques in his mind, but he was too old, and his physical strength was no match for Hu Gaofei, a young man in his prime.
Moreover, Hu Gaofei was an awakened combat-type professional, and the old man was powerless to fight back under Hu Gaofei's punches and kicks.
A sudden feeling of absurdity and sorrow rose in his heart. He had survived the battlefield amidst gunfire and dodged enemy bullets, but in the end, he couldn't escape the fists of his own people?
"Stop! Stop it! You can't hit him!"
The old man's wife, trembling, came out carrying a faded military uniform covered in medals.
“The old man was once a soldier who defended our country! He was seventy years old, and he risked his life to protect you! My son died on the border, how can you repay kindness with enmity!”
The old man's wife sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. She dared not hope for anything else, only hoping that the group of thugs in front of her would spare her family for this reason.
"He risked his life to protect us? How come I don't know? Besides, did I need his protection? Your son sacrificed himself on the border because he was stupid enough not to run! A bunch of idiots who only know how to be sentimental, it's hilarious."
