The Star Catcher

Chapter 34
Seeing the convoy leaving mightily, I only heard a piercing sound in the sky, a loud bang, the convoy that was still showing off its power just now was surrounded by flames, except for one complete car that was not affected, and some were covered by gasoline. The people on board screamed in pain, and the convoy on their own side passed by them without any pause and speed. Who can guarantee when the next shell will fall again? No one dares to be careless.

The conversations in the car suddenly decreased a lot. These people often face death, but they are also very awed by death. I didn’t expect so many things to happen in just over two hours after entering Syria. are yelling.

In the evening, the convoy reached Taratu.

Taratu is an important town in the south of Syria. In the past, industries and petroleum liquids supported its prosperity, but now it is full of collapsed houses and smoking cars. The family lives in the countryside not far from Taratu, where It is the site of the deacon's army.

The rebel army has occupied most of the city, SIS has occupied the oil refinery in the suburbs, and the deacon's army is defending the corner of the west. This is the most dangerous place. It is not known when a bomb or a bullet will come out of it.

Moreover, Liu Xu and the others had to pass through here to reach Tamako Town.

Bull decided to take two team members, two guides and Liu Xu through the city, among them was Zheng Hu, and the rest stayed here. With the help of night drones, a group of people walked carefully along the broken house. Forward.

The city under the moonlight is quiet and harmonious. If it wasn’t for the dilapidated houses that proved it was a battlefield, the sound of walking would be a bit harsh. No one spoke. Liu Xu walked at the end with a gun in his hand. a feeling of.

Suddenly, two gunshots rang out, and then more gunshots rang out all around.

The flames from these rifles were only 400 meters away from the few people.Bull quickly gestured for everyone to find a hidden place to hide, and Liu Xu also took advantage of the situation and squatted down behind the pillar.

Basha reminded:
"Be careful, there is a large group of people rushing this way, it should be the deacon's army, I suggest you avoid them immediately."

At the same time, Zheng Hu also discovered this situation from the overriding drone, and after discussing it quickly, he decided to trot along the place where no one was shown by the drone.

It took several hours for the group to hide and hide, before they walked less than three or four kilometers.If you want to get out of the city, there is still a four-kilometer waiting in front of you, and everyone must pass through the city before dawn.

The sky was gradually shrouded in white smoke, and the smell of gunpowder filled the surroundings for a long time and refused to dissipate, as if the city was crying about its tragic experience.

After traveling all night, Liu Xu also learned that being a mercenary is not so easy.They can rely on a drone to cross a few kilometers of battlefield in a complex environment without being detected, which requires a very high level of professionalism.

The sun rose slowly, and after a night of running around, the group managed to get out of the war-torn city without any risk, found a hidden dilapidated building and rested for about an hour before continuing to Datamaco Town.

Arshad is supposed to be only 35 years old, and the years have carved marks on his face. The face that looks to be over 40 years old gives people a look that has been devastated by the years.

He has three children, a teenage half-eldest daughter, a seven or eight-year-old younger daughter, and a younger son who is held in his wife's arms.

The guide communicated with him for a while, saying that he would be taken away first, and that he would come to pick up his family later when he had an opportunity, and that the journey was dangerous and so on.

Arshad is not stupid. Once he leaves his family, there will be no security, so everyone is in a stalemate, but he must take his wife and children.Otherwise, he would not leave them a step.

Bringing so many children through a city at war would be like committing suicide, and Bull firmly disagreed with such unreasonable and willful demands.

For a while, everyone was deadlocked, and no one would give in.

Liu Xu looked at their family with thin and haggard faces, and looked at Bull with hope in his eyes, but Bull's indifferent attitude disappointed them for a while. Liu Xu couldn't bear it, especially when he saw the desire for freedom and safety in the eyes of the children. , let him also have some mercy.

Therefore, Liu Xu offered to increase the money.

But Boolean outright rejected it this time:

"It's not about money. I can't gamble with the lives of my players."

It seems impossible to go through it, and it is not realistic to detour.

The whole of Syria is full of battlefields, and the way we came here was worked out after repeated deliberation and research by everyone, so naturally we can't easily take a risky detour.

In the end, Liu Xu could only suggest that he and Arshad's wife and children followed Bull. If there was a problem, they only needed to bring Arshad back safely.

Bull said: "50 pounds."

Taking advantage of the fire this time, Liu Xu agreed: "Deal."

Arshad knew that this was the only way to go; if he didn't do this, it would be difficult to find a chance to escape in the future.

He loves his children and his wife, and is willing to take risks as long as he has any hope of living.

In the afternoon, the group set off quietly after having something to eat; women and children followed them, so their speed was much slower than when they came.

After resting for a while at the edge of the city, under the cover of night, everyone sneaked into the dilapidated city again.Gunshots from time to time made everyone more cautious.One hour, two hours, three hours, just when everyone thought they could pass through the most dangerous battle zone tonight, a close-range explosion scared Asad's son awake.

The child was crying so loudly that no one had time to react, and a few bullets shot towards the sound in an instant.

Bull was furious, and while raising his gun to fight back without thinking, he didn't slow down his pace at all.

Although it was only more than ten meters away, there was no intention of bothering Liu Xu anymore.

Basha then said:
"Be careful, there are many SIS people around, if you still take them with you, the chance of escaping is only 5.00%; if you are alone, the chance of escaping is [-]%.

According to Emperor Tu's law, it is allowed to kill or injure the attacker when the heir's life is threatened.

But our laws are not obliged to help those close to you.

Please choose whether to leave alone to get rewards or take them away to cancel the task. "

Liu Xu was taken aback when he heard that, is there such an operation?

This is to let myself make a trip for nothing. What is it for?
Looking at the terrified faces of these people, Liu Xu couldn't bear it, and said to Basha: Cancel the mission.

Starship No. [-] has been activated, Xingfeng unmanned attack aircraft No. [-] to No. [-] are on standby, and No. [-] has been authorized to shoot down all threatening targets. "

Seeing Starship One suddenly appearing in the sky, Liu Xu was a little dumbfounded.It was a very sci-fi miniature spaceship floating in the air like a ghost.About four or five meters in length, less than one meter in width and height.Another ten aircraft, the size of a thumb, were scattered in the air.

However, Liu Xu found that no one seemed to notice the small airship that appeared suddenly except himself.

Dozens of bullets seemed to be blocked by something, and there was an invisible wall within five meters. The bullets fell to the ground silently, and the danger around them was eliminated in an instant.

This made Liu Xu a little confused about what Basha was doing. Could it be that Basha wanted to come to Syria by himself just to experience the war and increase his knowledge?
Bull was running fast, and the wailing of several wounded SIS deterred the pursuers from quickening their pace.

The danger was lifted for the time being, and Liu Xu hurriedly took one big and three little ones to dodge and move forward...
