after falling asleep

Chapter 350 90. Being Human
The crowd remained dazed until her head was smashed by the butt of the gun.The unrepentant cloudy eyes fell open wide open.

I don't know who took the lead, and began to flee towards the No. 3 entrance behind him.

The rest of the people woke up like a dream, turned around and fled crowded.Among them, more than a dozen figures rushed towards the group of soldiers without retreating.

The soldiers opened fire.

Gunfire added to the confusion, with cries and gunfire mixed together.Someone fell down and was stepped on by someone behind him before he could get up.The struggle gradually became weak until he was motionless.

A dozen people stalled for the crowd.The crowd staggered towards the high platform.The soldier guarding there changed his face and dodged to the side.

Like sheep chased by a pack of wolves, they come to the edge of a ledge until they find no way out.

Only a few people can stand on the narrow lifting plank at a time.They crowded and shoved each other, and were blocked by the approaching soldiers on the edge of the cliff.

The city guard wiped the blood on his hands with a handkerchief, and accompanied by soldiers, he pressed forward step by step.

The soldiers eventually stopped 20 meters away from the crowd.

"Prepare!"

A few bright red handkerchiefs in the whiteness slowly fell in front of him, and then stepped on by the city guard, he raised his hand high.

Pale searchlights shone on the dodging crowd, and the soldiers raised their guns, aiming at the residents of Hale City ahead.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly appeared behind the crowd and spread rapidly.

The soldiers' heads were turned away from the machine sights, and the rifles were gradually lowered.Seeing these desperate poor people in a daze like lemmings, they screamed and jumped from the high platform.

"Oh my God……"

"Fire!" the city guard shouted coldly.

"I...I can't do it." A soldier gritted his teeth.

They may have taken bribes, abused the poor, stolen, or even killed.At the command of the chief, they can even kill innocent people.

But it doesn't mean that you can do anything about this scene.

Every soldier is thinking.Are these poor people crazy?Is it worth it for an invitation from nothingness?
"I don't want to say it a second time."

Even in the chaos, the cold voice of the city guard penetrated clearly into his mind.

The soldiers were unable to fight against becoming Guan.Rest in peace with a sigh in my heart, but I pulled the trigger.

The clear and continuous gunshots echoed in the cave, and the people in the front row fell down row by row.This intensified their pushing and shoving, and the crowd fell from the high platform like a torrent of water.

Under the high platform is a mountain of screaming crowds.A few lucky people slipped off the top and didn't get crushed.Staggered up and rushed to the cave.

Ivan was mixed in, dizzy, he used his hands and feet together, crawling on the blood-stained ground, trying to get out of here.

"Take my daughter away! Please!"

Ivan, who didn't dare to look back at the tragic scene, suddenly heard a heart-piercing cry.

He hesitated, but turned around to look.

At the foot of the "mountain", half of a woman's body is trapped in a wriggling and struggling mountain, and she lifts up a little girl.

Ivan rushed over to pull her out, suddenly a scream came from far above his head, and then hit the woman's head heavily.

The woman's figure disappeared, her exposed hand drooped weakly, and the figure also howled miserably because of the loss of intuition in the lower body.

Ivan pursed his lips tightly, picked up the little girl and fled to the cave.

Bullets whizzed around.From time to time, someone screamed and fell, and fell behind in a blink of an eye.

He fell down, the bullet passed close to his scalp, and the rough sand and gravel ground tore his palm into skin, which was burning and painful.

The little girl stood aside without saying a word, waiting for herself to get up.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she seemed not as strong as she thought.

Ivan picked her up again and fled into the cave more than ten meters away.

On the high platform, the captain hiding in the corner led the soldiers to join the battle quietly.The city guard glanced coldly, but didn't speak.

At this time, a soldier took off his waist grenade and wanted to throw it down, but the captain grabbed it and kicked him over.

"You got shit in your head? Using a grenade in a cave!?"

The soldiers hesitated and dared not get up.

At this time, the city guard turned and left the high platform: "Retract the team and retreat."

The captain flinched and asked, "Sir, aren't we going to pursue it?"

"No, they won't be able to survive." The city guard didn't answer. "Or you go?"

Of course the captain will not leave.

"But... what about the untouchables below..."

The screams and cries of men, women and children mixed together, making their scalps numb.

"Let them yell. Plug your ears if you think it's noisy. If you don't have the strength, it will stop naturally." The city guard said coldly.He paused as he passed the kneeling, distraught informer.

"Tomorrow, go to the city guard mansion to get the civilian card." The city guard officer said, and walked away.

……

The survivors walked slowly in twos and threes in the extremely narrow cave.

Some injured people covered their wounds and walked more and more slowly.

Ivan slowed down and walked beside these people.

The screams in the cave seemed to still be echoing in my ears.He was pretty sure it was his hallucination.

In order not to let himself think too much, Ivan found some topics and he asked the little girl in his arms who was not crying or fussing: "Is that your mother?"

The little girl nodded.

"She's great."

The little girl nodded.

"Are you dumb?"

The little girl shook her head.

Ivan understood and stopped asking her these questions.

thump--

Someone fell not far ahead.The man, with one leg twisted backward, somehow managed to get here.

Ivan slowed down, wanted to help, and found himself powerless.

He doesn't want to see these again.Quicken your pace and get out of the cave.

It's cold outside, and the temperature is dropping to an intuitive degree.

There are also many people standing at the entrance of the cave, hiding in places where the wind cannot blow, waiting quietly for something.

Ten minutes later, a voice asked in the cold wind.

"Is that all there is to it?"

"And that's all."

A torch was lit by an old man who had just spoken.

The old man looked around, the torches were shining on everyone's faces, his back became even more hunched, and he said: "... I remember the direction, everyone hold each other, don't fall behind."

Ivan grabbed the hem of someone in front of him and walked silently in the line.He didn't know how many people were left, maybe half of them, maybe even less.

Stumbled and walked all night.From time to time, some people fell behind due to lack of physical strength and injuries.

The little girl in his arms was shaking, but there was nothing he could do.

They were lucky not to encounter any mutant creatures along the way.Until early morning, they encountered a team going out.The team at Dawn Camp.

They were saved.

A few ten minutes later, Ivan was leaning against the corner of the wall with a bowl of hot soup in his hand, wearing a blanket.

Tears and sand mixed on the cheeks, muddy and dirty.

Joyce forgot when he cried.

Is it the hard work from that team?

Are they braved the cold to go out looking for lonely people?

Is it the moment when the hot soup and thick blankets arrive?
Is it the concerned eyes of the residents?
Did someone pick up the little noise and return it to him?

Still have?

he does not know.

He suddenly remembered that he was born as a human being.
