Chapter 244 Shelling! Berggren survives the disaster

At night, the first wave of shelling began as scheduled.

Outside Berggren, the government's artillery units were ready to fire heavy artillery.

The artillerymen worked in groups. First, one person brought the fused heavy artillery warhead and worked together with others to put it into the loading port. Then another person used a metal rod to poke the warhead into the interior. Another person brought a large cartridge-like charging barrel and put it in, fixing it. .

After confirming that the loading is complete, the artilleryman responsible for aiming and positioning will fire the artillery shells under the command of the orderer.

Accompanied by deafening roars, bursts of fire, and flying smoke, the brass cartridge cases ejected, and the shells flew far into the city of Berggren, falling towards the buildings marked as "rebel strongholds."

But in fact, the target points of the shelling are mostly just refugee gathering places.

From the city of Berglen, one could only see a bright light flashing in the sky in the distance, followed by catastrophe.

Shells hit important buildings such as hospitals and museums one after another. With the violent explosions, the walls of the buildings were smashed like foam. The buildings shook, gravel fell, and the vibrations spread up and down.

From time to time, artillery shells fell on the surrounding open space, causing dust to fly everywhere, and fragments of the cement pavement were thrown more than ten meters into the air!

While smoke and dust were everywhere, the "whoosh" sound of rapidly sputtering shell fragments could also be heard.

Even though the heavy artillery used by the government army is older and has a smaller caliber, it is still invincible against Berggren, who has basically no decent defense facilities.

Under the intensive artillery fire, some of the crumbling buildings finally failed to hold up and collapsed, turning into debris.

In the continuous explosions, only some screams and cries could be heard vaguely, and more sounds were drowned in the explosion of heavy artillery.

The targeted shelling ended quickly, but the bombing did not end there.

After completing the strike mission, more heavy artillery shells began to fall randomly throughout the city according to the mood of the artillerymen.

The aimless shelling caused relatively limited damage to the city, but it made the refugees in the city panic, fearing that if they were unlucky, the next shell would fall on their heads.

That night, everyone in the city had sleepless nights.

The bombardment started at midnight and lasted for nearly half an hour. The explosions became sporadic, with only one falling from time to time.

And it wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the sky over Berggren finally became completely quiet.

But even though the bombardment was over, the collapse and fire caused by the explosion continued to make the city noisy, and the sound of tearing could be heard endlessly.

It wasn't until dawn that a heavy snow mixed with ice rain fell, extinguishing the flames burning everywhere in the city, and wrapping Berggren's tragic situation in pure white sheets again.

After dawn, a spokesman for the Graznavia government's armed forces claimed in a public broadcast that they had dealt a heavy blow to the rebel forces entrenched in the city last night, and in the process, "there were no civilian casualties." .

Then, the spokesperson announced relevant information about humanitarian channels, warning all citizens that anyone who is seriously injured, seriously ill, pregnant, or has children with them, and has nothing to do with the rebels, can be evacuated through humanitarian channels, and government forces will protect all innocent people. safety of the people.

This cruel show has just entered the intermission.

……

Dawn, Berggren Hospital.

Marco and Boris, together with many refugees who were lucky enough to escape the bombardment, and hospital volunteers, were cleaning up the scattered rubble in the hospital building that had collapsed less than half.

The city hospital was a key target in last night's shelling, so naturally it was not unscathed.

However, thanks to Li You's early warning, the hospital had taken sufficient preparations to withstand the bombardment, so there were very few casualties and material losses, but some heavy medical equipment could not survive the damage.

After this time, Berggren's medical level took a step back.

At the same time, Dr. Jefferman, the nurses, as well as Li You and Ai Ji, were working hard to treat the wounded who had gathered from all over Berggren in the ward on the second floor of the hospital that was still intact.

The severity of the injuries was prioritized. Dr. Jeffery Maut and a nurse were rescuing the most seriously injured, while Aggie and two other nurses were responsible for the remaining ones.

Li You also helped Aiji. Although he did not learn medical skills like Aiji, he also understood basic injury treatment after so long.

Of course, his greatest role is to provide medical staff with his healing potions. Because he had expected it, Li You prepared several bottles of diluted liquid medicine, but even so, the supply was still in short supply.

"Get me another bandage and-!"

"This wounded man is bleeding profusely, come here quickly!"

"Mr. Li, do you still have the potion!?"

"This patient needs a blood transfusion—"

The scene was in chaos.

Judging from the current situation of the hospital, it would be impossible to handle it without being busy for several days. However, Li You and the others did not have this time.

The hospital was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, and after handling all the seriously injured patients, Li You took Aiji and left. He has another stop to go.

After leaving the hospital, they immediately rushed to the museum.

The good news is that the damage to the museum was not as severe as the hospital, and at least no one was injured.

But the bad news is that the already crumbling superstructure of the museum can no longer support it, and the cultural relics stored on those floors are in urgent need of moving. This is a big project.

As soon as Li You and Aiji arrived, they immediately launched into the rescue work of cultural relics.

The current person in charge of the museum is Milena, a kind-looking woman in her forties. Apart from her, there is only one gatekeeper, Zoran, who is close to sixty.

Although Li You knew them, he didn't formally meet them for the first time until yesterday when he came to inform them of the bombing news.

Fortunately, the curator Milena gave him enough trust and made preparations in advance, such as collecting some cultural relics on the top floor in advance, which effectively reduced the loss.

But even so, it would be impossible for them alone to rescue all the cultural relics before the roof collapsed. Fortunately, Anna and Erica, who lived in the suburbs and were not affected, took the initiative to cross the city and come to the museum to help after hearing about the severity of the bombing.

With their participation, and the arrival of Li You and Ai Ji in the afternoon, they were finally able to move all the cultural relics to the bottom warehouse before the upper floor of the museum collapsed.

After doing this, not to mention the nearly sixty-year-old gatekeeper Zoran, even the two young people Anna and Erica were so tired that they sat on the ground and panted.

However, Milena, who has done the most work, still has no rest. While she was busy counting cultural relics in the warehouse, she was also thinking about how to deal with the next round of bombing attacks.

At this time, Li You opened the door and walked in.

Milena looked at him, with sincere gratitude on her face. She stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li! Not only did you notify us of the risk in advance, but you also came to help us save the cultural relics. People like you , it’s really rare now.”

Li You just shook his head and said: "This is nothing. Compared with these, we have to find a way to deal with the next round of bombing. This museum will definitely not survive the next round."

A look of worry appeared on Milena's face: "Yeah, we have no choice, we have to move. But in this case, we will need a truck... And where to move is also a problem."

Li You didn't hold back and said directly: "In fact, regarding the second question, I may have a solution."

Under Milena's surprised gaze, Li You took out the key to the bank vault and told her a story about how he made a deal with Taras but was betrayed by him, and finally fought back and obtained the key.

Milena: "There is such a thing...that means we can put all the cultural relics in the vault!"

She said with great joy: "In this case, we don't have to worry about the safety of these cultural relics!"

Her attitude made Li You stunned and asked, "Don't you suspect that I am actually interested in these cultural relics?"

Hearing this, Milena smiled and said, "No. To be honest, I am an old friend of Father Orek of St. Mary's Church, and I have heard a lot about you from him."

"Coupled with everything you have done for us in the past two days, if it is you, I can trust you."

Li You suddenly realized.

"Then let's decide. What you have to do now is to find a truck as soon as possible to transport these cultural relics away."

In the game, as the bombing became more and more serious, Milena also decided to move the cultural relics, and went out alone for a few days, and then actually got a truck.

It's just that this truck has some faults, and Anna and the others need to find parts to repair it before it can drive.

——So how did Milena drive it back?

But in short, this at least shows that Milena has this channel and ability. If Li You was asked to look for it, he could only think of running to the military camp to grab one.

Not to mention that it would be too conspicuous and would become a thorn in the side of the government forces, rebels, and thugs. It was really not cost-effective.

So let Milena do this. As for Anna, Li You was also planning to ask her what she thought.

At this time, Anna was sitting with Erica against the wall in the entrance hall of the museum, drinking water and chatting from time to time.

Li You stepped forward to chat: "Anna, Erica."

The two of them looked over and wanted to stand up to say hello, but Li You signaled no need and sat down in front of them.

"Anna, you should understand why I told you about moving before, right?"

Anna nodded palely. Along the way, the ruins she saw all over the city could be described as hell on earth, and it was unbearable to look at.

She also understood what Li You meant. People need a safe refuge, and the cultural relics in her home must be carefully collected so as not to be easily destroyed in the war.

After seeing how busy the museum was today, she realized this even more.

"But...even the museum has too much time to take care of itself. Where else can I put the cultural relics? Besides, Ruben's condition is not better yet."

Li You raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh? That man is already awake?"

"Ah, yes, I forgot to mention it." Anna smiled apologetically, "He is awake this morning, thanks to your medicine, Mr. Li. But he is still sick, and his physical condition is really not good."

Li Youyou: "I still have some medicine here. You can take some back later. As for where to put the cultural relics, I already have a way."

He told Anna the next plan of curator Milena. When she heard that Li You held the key to the bank vault, Anna's eyes lit up: "So that's it! This is indeed a good idea!"

"Then, if you don't mind, Mr. Li, when Ruben's condition is better, I plan to set off. I will bring the cultural relics, and Ruben can also help support Erica's father, so it should be no problem."

Erica on the side also nodded to Anna, indicating that she had no objection.

Li You clapped his hands: "Okay, then it's settled. As for where to go from now on, if you don't mind, I have a shelter here for you to choose."

After bidding farewell to Anna, Milena and the others, Li You took Aggie with him to the next disaster site.

This was very close to his sanctuary, St. Mary's Church.

This ancient church was already structurally unstable. During last night's bombing, it finally failed to hold up and half of it collapsed.

Fortunately, it was the front half that collapsed, and the stairs leading to the basement entrance and the rear living area passage were not covered. Father Orek also evacuated everyone in advance, so almost no one was injured. Only one unlucky child was scratched on the leg by the collapsed debris and has been treated.

When he saw the tragic situation in the church, Father Orek said simply, don't waste precious manpower in the church now, use whatever is left, the hospital is the most important.

So no one came to help deal with the ruins at this time. Only the priest and the refugees who were living in the church were taking care of it.

Li You only came to confirm the situation here. Seeing that everyone was fine, he planned to leave and go back to the villa shelter a street away.

However, before he left, the priest suddenly stopped him.

"...Li You, I can understand your mood, but you must not act out of anger."

Li You was startled.

Seeing his expression, Father Orek sighed and said: "I know you are very capable, but you alone can't do anything. Don't die in vain, you can help the citizens far more than this."

Looking at the priest's expression, Li You was very surprised. Unexpectedly, Father Orek could tell what he wanted to do from his micro-expression?

Li You calmed his expression, and then showed a standard smile: "Don't worry, Father, I won't mess around."

Father Orek saw that he had no intention of listening, so he became a little anxious and pointed out his words directly: "Li You, the government army's outpost is heavily guarded and you are not allowed to go!"

Li You really smiled this time and said, "I know. Don't worry, Father, I won't go to the military outpost."

He told the truth this time, and the priest looked at him, sighed, and went back to clean up the ruins of the church without further persuasion.

As for Li You, he returned to the villa shelter with Aiji.

There are currently only Roman and Livia here, but Li You was just here to take a rest.

He had a brief chat with Roman, got some cans and water, and then went to the bedroom on the third floor to rest with Aggie.

As Aggie ate the can quickly, he asked, "Where are you going?"

Li You was also working, and it basically did not affect his reply: "There is no need for the army outpost. If we kill all the others and only leave Markov, it will arouse suspicion. As for outside the city, I can't leave Berggren's The range, not to mention that even if we go out, it is impossible to do anything to the government army."

"So I plan to go to two places. The dock guard post, and the artillery camp next to the government army camp."

Li You threw the empty can into the recycling bag, picked up a bottle of water, took a big gulp, and continued:

"Berglen's pier was originally the best way to escape the city. However, government forces quickly set up sentries and searchlights on the river bank and opened fire on all those who tried to escape by boat."

"I'm going to take down this place and tear down their guard towers and searchlights. This way, the refugees will have a way out of the city."

Ai Ji agreed with his plan: "I think it's feasible. What about the artillery battalion?"

Li You added: "Thanks to Markov, we knew the exact location of the artillery battalion. Having said that, the government forces dared to be so arrogant and put the artillery positions at the forefront just to amplify their firepower advantage. "

"Hmph, it seems that they knew from the beginning that the rebels were unable to fight back, so they arranged it like this. In this case, I will teach them a profound lesson!"

After saying that, Li You paused and then said: "In addition, we have added a new companion who can lead the way, right?"

Aggie understood: "That's it, I'll be with you then. Where is Markov?"

"He is our important first-hand intelligence source, and of course he cannot be touched."

"clear."

The two simply rested for a while and then set off.

Li You had confirmed that the orphanage on Adam's side had not been bombarded earlier, so he was very lucky. It was the children who were frightened, and both Karina and Andreas cried and asked to find him.

It's a pity that Li You doesn't have time to see the children for the time being.

He and Aggie then came to the next stop, the riverside hut.

Compared to the orphanage, this place was not so lucky. It was affected by the shells and opened a big hole in the outer wall.

At this time, Esma was holding tools and repairing the holes in the wall with a young man.

That young man was, of course, none other than Adam (young), the son of Malik and Esma.

The night before yesterday, because Markov gave a death order asking him to find Malik and his wife and deal with them, young Adam finally gave up everything he had gained in the government army, escaped from the military camp, and rushed back to report to his parents.

But in the end, he and the government's assassination troops were defeated, and the radio station was already empty.

Seeing the empty radio station in the radio station, the young Adam was dumbfounded.

At this time, Li Youlai found him and told him that his parents had been transferred, which made him feel relieved.

Because he had become a deserter and could not go back, young Adam simply came to his parents' current shelter and lived with them, which could better protect them.

Esma was naturally happy for his return. Malik was surprised and angry, but then expressed relief that Adam had finally "awakened".

So, the family of three lived together again.

The reason why Li You came to him was because, as a deserter from the government army, he could help lead the way.

Although Markov knew the location of the artillery battalion, he did not know the specific matters inside. But it just so happened that young Adam was familiar with it because he had done chores here.

Of course, it was impossible for Li You to talk to Adam about such a dangerous matter in front of his parent Esma, so he pulled him aside.

After hearing Li You's plan, although Little Adam's first reaction was that Li You must be crazy, he finally chose to give in.

"...Okay, I'll help you. I'll take you there and tell you what's going on inside. But the rest is up to you."

Li You showed a truly comfortable smile for the first time today: "It's what I asked for."
