Chapter 334: There Are Only So Many Supplies
The gunfire behind me became more and more intense. It was the government forces defending this place and the rebels fighting each other, and the battle was difficult to resolve.
The shelling came again, bombing the school area.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal, as the area had been almost flattened and the government troops stationed there were all hiding in the ruins.
They even dug out simple machine gun bunkers in the ruins, making it difficult for the rebels to advance even a single step.
"here!"
Under the dilapidated school, two government soldiers waved at Lei Zhen, asking him to come over quickly.
The school area was indeed flattened, but underneath was a solid air defense facility that remained intact after countless rounds of bombing.
Relying on air defense facilities, the government forces were not afraid of bombardment. They were scattered behind every ruin, every bomb crater, and every broken wall, and they put up quite a strong resistance.
Lei Zhen ran over quickly and ducked under the school.
"boom!"
A shell fell overhead, and under the powerful shock, dust and stones fell down, but the underground air defense area remained solid.
There is a vent below with light coming from the vent. Although it is very dark, you can still see what is going on inside clearly.
The wounded, the elderly, women, children...
Everyone stared at Lei Zhen with numbness in their eyes. Even when bombardments were fired above their heads, they didn't react at all.
This is what ordinary people experience: fear, then from fear to hope, and then being baptized by fear again after hope is shattered.
I don’t know how many times I experienced this, but in the end I became numb in despair.
For them, they may have known that they would face death, and it was just a matter of time.
"master!"
"master!"
"master!"
A surprised voice sounded, and King Qin and several others looked at Lei Zhen who appeared here in disbelief, and ran over excitedly.
Lei Zhen smiled and stretched out his arms to hug several pieces of land.
"Are they all alive and well?"
"Alive!" the King of Qin called out, "Master, why are you here?"
"Then I'll leave?"
“Hehe…hiss!”
Just as he was about to grin, he gasped in pain because his lips were all cracked and bloody, and the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain.
No electricity, no water, no food.
Although this place is temporarily safe, it is surrounded by the rebels and no supplies can be delivered - and no one comes to deliver them.
So the eyes of these people are numb, they know they are going to die.
"How many are here?" Lei Zhen asked.
"Five. The four of us are here, and Team Tang is at the command center over there." King Qin replied.
This mission was undertaken by Long Yan's team. The people who came were King Qin, Geng Mingzhong, Yang Feilong, Fu Yong, and the parrot.
Parrot is the only person who is familiar with Sudan, and she was also the captain of the commando team, so she is the leader of the team this time.
The five-man tactical team went deep into Sudan, thinking they could complete the rescue mission quickly, but the battlefield was fickle and they were trapped here.
"Drink it."
Lei Zhen took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it over.
Seeing the water, King Qin and his four companions couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Dozens of pairs of eyes around them also stared at them instantly, revealing extremely thirsty expressions.
“Wow wow wow…”
The child cried and pointed at the water in the King of Qin's hand.
As one child started crying, many children also started crying, using dry and hoarse voices to indicate that they wanted to drink water.
"Fu Yong, give each child a sip of water." King Qin handed the water to Fu Yong.
"Yes, Captain!"
Just as Fu Yong was about to take the water, Lei Zhen slapped him to the ground.
“Bang!”
The mineral water fell to the ground, and the sweet source of life was quickly poured out, and in an instant it was absorbed clean by the dry ground.
"master?"
The King of Qin looked puzzled.
"Keep thirsty." Lei Zhen said calmly, "You haven't reached the critical point yet, so just treat it as a return to extreme training."
The water is not for the children here to drink. Since the King of Qin and his men refuse to drink it, then no one should drink it.
"Master, we are just doing this out of humanitarianism. These are children..." King Qin said in a low voice.
This is correct, inherits the fine tradition, and is an essential quality for every professional soldier.
So Lei Zhen nodded, expressing his affirmation of his spirit.
But he only expressed his affirmation that his disciples still had too little experience.
It’s not that Lei Zhen is inhumane, but he simply can’t handle it. Humanitarianism is acceptable, but protecting one’s own side must be prioritized.
"Where is Huang Rui?"
"Inside, resting."
Lei Zhen strode in, passing through the foul-smelling area of the wounded. He saw many people with wounds festering and infected, oozing pus, and some even had worms in their wounds...
But it was just a casual glance, without any emotion.
After passing this area, there is a makeshift room with a rag curtain hanging on it and a "cross" drawn in blood.
Lifting the door curtain and walking in, Lei Zhen saw Huang Rui lying on a broken door panel, covered with some tattered clothes, curled up with her eyes closed to rest.
She was covered in blood and looked haggard, completely different from the impression of the fiery Rui Jie.
But her face was very red, as if it was on fire, and her curled up body kept shaking, obviously she had a high fever.
Lei Zhen squatted down and reached out to touch Huang Rui's forehead, which was very hot.
He took out the medical kit, pulled out the injection and antibiotics, and injected them into the other person's vein.
"Well……"
Huang Rui made a weak sound, opened her eyes with difficulty, and stared at Lei Zhen's face in a daze.
There was a mask and she didn't know who it was.
Lei Zhen helped Huang Rui sit up, took out two fever-reducing pills and stuffed them into her mouth, then took out a bottle of mineral water and put it to her mouth.
water……
As soon as her lips touched the water, Huang Rui drank it in big gulps without hesitation, and finished half the bottle in a flash.
As she drank the sweet mineral water, she woke up and stared at Lei Zhen's eyes in confusion.
"Supplies are coming?"
"Don't worry about me for now, there are still many wounded here..."
Hearing this, Lei Zhen couldn't get angry.
The gap between different nations is so huge. Some nations are kind by nature, always keep great love in their hearts, and can extend a hand of friendship to anyone.
Some nations are narrow-minded and selfish. No matter what the circumstances, they will be self-centered, even if they have no conscience.
It just so happens that the nation that Lei Zhen belongs to is kind by nature.
I have gone through many ups and downs and suffered countless losses, but I still maintain the enthusiasm and sincerity in my bones.
This is a national characteristic and it is difficult to change.
"I only care about you, not everyone else." Lei Zhen stared at Huang Rui and said, "Your humanity and love end here. I hope you won't hold me back in the future cooperation, because I want to take all of you back with me."
"You, you, you are Lei Zhen?"
Huang Rui was shocked. She reached out to take off the mask on Lei Zhen's face and saw his face clearly, even though half of it was covered in blood.
How is that possible?
Why is he here? Is he here to save us?
"Can you be gentler?" Lei Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "My face is broken and the blood is clotted in the wound. Comrade Huang Rui, even if you hate me, there's no need to pull it hard, right? It hurts!"
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
Huang Rui looked at the wound on his face and apologized repeatedly, but suddenly she laughed for some reason.
"Ha ha……"
"Lei Zhen, why are you here?"
“I, I… uh…”
She started crying while laughing. Huang Rui never dreamed that Lei Zhen would go into a desperate situation to save her. Thinking back to her previous attitude, she wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
So I laughed and cried.
"Your father said that he would treat me as his son-in-law." Lei Zhen shrugged and said, "Based on this, I have to come here anyway."
"Alright, alright, let me treat your wound first. It will be very painful later, so you have to bear it."
Huang Rui took out alcohol from the medical kit to disinfect, but was stopped.
"These are for you, since I can't bring in more supplies."
"Bread, sausage, eat."
Lei Zhen took out some bread and sausage and stuffed them into Huang Rui's hands.
"I'm watching you, you have to finish eating."
"The parrots haven't eaten for two days..."
"They can handle it."
There are only so many supplies, and Huang Rui must be given priority because she is the primary rescue target.
