Chapter 66: Prayer
"How is he?" Lin Rui walked into the monitoring room of the base. There are hidden surveillance devices all over the island, and only in this monitoring room can you see the surveillance images of any location on the island. Dozens of large and small LCD screens form a huge screen array. These were originally used for training and combat equipment, but now they have become the best battlefield observation.
Instead of speaking, Shogishi switched a screen to the home screen. Several armed pirates on the screen were bending over to approach, perhaps they were outnumbered, but once they had entered the jungle of the island, they immediately lost Fernandez's place.
The three pirates were cautiously touching them, and suddenly they were startled by a movement behind them, and they immediately turned around, and the weapons in their hands were fired indiscriminately at the dense bushes behind them. The bullet casings of the AK47 fell to the ground with a "thump" under their feet.
The strange thing is that there is no movement on the other side. The pirates glanced at each other, and slowly touched their guns to make sure they hadn't been shot by the round. But as they walked slowly, a figure jumped out of the tree above them. Fernandez!!!
With a crisp crack of bones, he had already broken the neck of one of the pirates. Then he kicked the other one over, drew his pistol and refilled the shot. The third pirate turned around in a panic and raised his gun. But Fernandez was already crouching down and sweeping him down. The pirate lost his balance and fell backwards, his AK47's bullet flying into the sky. Fernandez immediately threw a shot at him, and he was killed. Then he turned and disappeared into the shadows of the trees again.
As the absolute elite of amphibious warfare, Fernandez walks like a ghost in this familiar terrain. The average pirate is no match for him at all, he will carefully avoid their search and then strike out of surprise. After killing a few people at a time, they will quietly hide themselves with the help of the dense vegetation of this tropical jungle.
"Where has he been?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The junction of arrondissements 5 and 8. "But I don't know what the point of this is." Even if he single-handedly rushed into the ninth district, he couldn't save Sander, he would only send his life there. ”
"Maybe that's what he wants. Zhao Jianfei walked over and said, "I know what you're thinking, but none of you can go out again, and my responsibility is to watch you." Believe me, if Fernandez thought he needed you, he wouldn't have chosen to do it alone. This time, there's really nothing we can do. ”
Lin Rui sat on the ground tiredly, holding his head and said helplessly, "Do we really need to watch like this, if we can't help them, why do we choose to watch here." Watch him fight alone, watch him die. ”
"Because this is war, and war is always utilitarian. Maximizing the result with the least sacrifice is like a business, and there is a profit calculation formula for how to maximize the benefits. We cannot afford to make unnecessary sacrifices. "Shogan said slowly.
"And what about him?" Lin Rui looked at Fernandez, who disappeared from the screen.
"He chose to liquidate at a loss. "Shogishi said lightly. This joke was very humorous, Lin Rui wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all. Ivan angrily threw the dagger he was playing with on the ground, walked to the corner and crouched down. Zhao Jianfei still had his indifferent expression, as if he had seen through life and death as always. Yelena was silently wiping the gun in her hand.
"To be honest, I don't like him. He is an old and stubborn megalomaniac, who likes to rely on the old and sell the old to put on his qualifications, and he always has that rubber stick in his hand. Qin Fen smiled reluctantly. "But...... I wish I could fight with him. At least when I'm in trouble, someone can try to save me in such a desperate attempt to save me. ”
"I'm sure every one of us will, at least as circumstances allow. Zhao Jianfei said lightly.
Fernandez has already entered the ninth district of the island, but this is also his limit. In the face of a large number of armed pirates, it was not easy for him to rush here. He is no longer young, and his reaction speed and body are no longer what they used to be. He was able to rush here, relying more on experience, stealth and sneak attacks. And experience doesn't solve a problem, especially when you're facing more enemies.
Seeing the fierce firefight on the screen, Fernandez stumbled, blood rushing from his shoulder. Even though he immediately adjusted his posture and shot the pirate on the other side, it was still clear that he was not lightly injured. Gunshot wounds and blood loss can greatly affect his tactical moves. Although he was still firing back, although his marksmanship was still accurate, he couldn't hold on for much longer, and it was only a matter of time before he fell injured.
Lin Rui's heart seemed to be suddenly pricked by a needle, and he knew that Fernandez was finished. Even though he was experienced in a hundred battles and had excellent military skills, he was not a god, but a mortal*. Even Michelle the Silver Wolf said that there are no undefeated gods on the battlefield, only cautious people.
A large number of armed pirates surrounded him, trapping Fernández in the middle. Fernandez reached for the pistol at his waist, but was trampled on by a pirate, and then the butt of the AK47 slammed heavily into his face, and immediately blood flowed......
Peng Lefeng couldn't help but say, "Turn off the screen, I can't stand it." ”
Jiang An did not close, but said in a low voice, "I want to watch, because I will never see it again." We lost him. ”
Fernández was bound and escorted to Evya. Sander was still on his knees, and he saw Fernandez smile slightly, "You shouldn't have come, old friend." ”
Fernández spat out the blood foam in his mouth and smiled with difficulty, "There is a philosopher who said that there are only three things in life. What you want to do, what you can do, and what you should do. If I want to do it and can do it, why should I care if I should do it or not?" Before he could finish speaking, another pirate kicked him the crook of his knee, forcing him to his knees.
Efuya said coldly, "It's a touching picture, but we don't care much about the great friendship between you. All I care about is that now there are two of us. He turned to the camera and sneered, "How about it? Do any of you still want to join in? I've always had a dream that it must be beautiful to make a bunch of you foreigners into blood eagles and place them in rows on the white sand." ”
"Damn! I'm going to kill him!" Lin Rui slammed his fist against the wall, staring at the screen with his eyes on fire.
"I promise you. Zhao Jianfei patted him on the shoulder.
Sander looked at Fernandez and smiled bitterly, "How long have we known each other?"
"More than ten years, or more than twenty years?" Fernández smiled as he knelt there, "Maybe it's been so long that I can't even remember." ”
"We're all old. Sander said calmly.
"Maybe not old enough, at least I'm still interested in women. ”
"Why are you here?"
"Maybe I want to prove that I'm still a tough guy, maybe it's because a soldier can die from gunfire, not from torture. "Fernandez said hard.
Efuya sneered, "It's a pity that you all have to die, and precisely because of torture. ”
"People like you simply don't understand and don't believe in miracles. Fernández said calmly.
Efuya said coldly to the pirates under him, "I really don't believe in miracles, I'm ready to be executed!"
Immediately someone from Efuya's pirate stepped up and slashed Fernandez's clothes behind his back with a short knife, ripping off his bulletproof vest. But suddenly there was an exclamation, "Bomb!"
Behind Fernandez's back are two rows of C4**s, the timer detonators are already installed, and the countdown is flashing red. The pirates exclaimed, and hugged Evya back like a tidal wave, watching Fernandez in horror from a distance.
Fernandez looked at Sander and smiled, "I said there would be miracles. ”
Sander smiled heartily, "Yes, miracles. ”
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, let your kingdom come, and let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven......" Fernandez said slowly.
Sander nodded, "Forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debts." They don't teach us temptation, but deliver us from evil ......"
As if no one was around, they whispered the Lord's Prayer of the Bible. The flashing timer behind Fernández has already beeped with warning. At this time, he and Sander said slowly, "Amen." ”
"Goodbye Heaven?" Sander smiled.
"Just kidding, you know none of us can go to heaven...... We just prayed for each other at the end of our lives. Just like we agreed many years ago. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the huge explosion engulfed their bodies in an instant. Fragments of limbs and blood mingled with the stirred up mud and sand on the ground, and the smoke erupted.
Lin Rui closed his eyes in front of the screen, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, his eyes seemed to be bloody, and he even felt some colic in his stomach.
For Fernández, it's all over. "But we're just getting started." ”
"Yes, and we're going to keep going, one last day and one night. Zhao Jianfei turned around and said, "Go back to your respective posts and stick to the end!"
"Yes, stay the course!" everyone repeated.
Lin Rui didn't say anything more, but quickly recuperated his weapons and walked to the combat position at the entrance of the base. For some reason, when Fernandez died, he felt a tingling sensation in his heart. And now it is surprisingly calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water
