"In about half an hour, we can reach the border of Doman. Now there is no large-scale war between the government forces and the opposition warlords in Doman, but local conflicts still occur frequently. Everyone must pay attention to safety." A tall black man the soldier exclaimed.
From the airport to the Doman border is a dirt road with potholes, abandoned cars and broken barbed wire on both sides of the road. It is said that Africa is the place where the earth's ecology is best maintained, but Li Zheng looked all the way, but did not see a single animal.
"It's close to the border of Doman, the country is not peaceful, and the animals are smart," someone said.
The speed of the bus slowed down, and it stopped in front of a simple house not long after.
Not far from the house, a large piece of barbed wire surrounded the open space, and next to the barbed wire, there were two very old tanks parked there. The entrance above the tank's head was open, and two thin soldiers sat on the tank with indifferent expressions.
Seeing everyone's cars, a soldier seemed to want to jump off the tank, but was pulled by his companion. His companion pointed to the military jeeps in front of and behind the bus and said something, and the soldier had an unwilling look on his face. Immediately he got into the tank angrily.
The military jeep jumped down and two tall UN soldiers walked into the dilapidated house with a gun in one hand and a few boxes of canned military meat in the other.
After negotiating for a long time, the two Doman soldiers trotted and pulled away the barbed wire in front, signaling the convoy to go together.
The soldiers in front whistled, jumped into the car, and started.
At this moment, a crowd suddenly appeared on Doman's border line, and they rushed towards the barbed wire like a rapid tide.
"Damn bedbugs!" A shirtless big man ran out of the dilapidated bungalow. When he saw the scene at the moment, he yelled angrily. The English was mixed with African slang, which made it difficult for people to understand.
"Kill them, kill them!" the big man shouted loudly.
In the small dilapidated house, many soldiers in shabby military uniforms suddenly appeared, carrying old-fashioned machine guns.
The blasting sound of the "bang bang bang" machine gun kept ringing in my ears. With the sound of this time, one person in the crowd fell. At the same time as they fell, the people behind them kept rushing up. The cry of the child, the scream of the woman, and the roar of the man were intertwined. People are startled.
"Stop! Stop! What are you doing! They are women and children!" Dr. Cage jumped up from his seat in anger as he watched a child get shot in the head.
There was a commotion in the carriage, and everyone looked shocked, angry, and disbelieving. Li Zheng only felt that all the blood in his whole body rushed to his head, and he even lost the ability to think.
Even though he was already in his thirties in his last life, he was considered to have seen a big scene, but seeing one life disappear in front of his eyes so easily, he still felt an unprecedented anger and powerlessness.
He seemed to take it for granted, Li Zheng clenched the upper part of the car seat tightly, a feeling of wanting to vomit in his stomach.
The medical staff of the medical support team negotiated with the two soldiers sitting in front of them excitedly.
"Shouldn't you stop them? They are all civilians, it's anti-humanitarian!"
The black soldier's eyelids lifted, but he did not speak.
Dr. Cage, shaking with rage, trotted back to his seat and took out a blue card from his bag.
"I order you to open the door, I'm going to stop this tragedy!"
The black soldier's expression became serious. He took the certificate and looked at it, and then gave a military salute, "Yes, sir." He opened the bus door.
Dr. Kachi rushed out of the car first, and the medical support team followed.
After standing on this piece of land, Li Zheng's head finally cleared up. Because they got out of the car, the UN troops also had to get off the military jeep.
The big black man looked very dissatisfied. While one group of people shot at the civilians, another group of Doman troops surrounded them.
"Stop, you can't do this to civilians." Dr. Cage shouted to the big black man.
"No, they are not civilians, they are all armed opposition." The big black man said with a cold expression.
"Open your eyes and see, there are women and children in front of them, and they don't have weapons at all!" Kachi is really going crazy, and now every minute he speaks, there are several lives in his line of sight. The feeling of powerlessness almost drove this doctor who was responsible for saving lives and wounds crazy.
The big black man looked in the direction Kachi pointed. The crowd had already lied down by a third, but there were still many people surging forward.
There was a complex look on his dark face, and then his eyelids finally dropped.
"Mad! A bunch of lunatics! The United Nations is crazy and will agree to this country's medical aid!" Kachi shouted angrily.
A gleam of light flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, he stepped forward and patted Kaqi's shoulder.
When Kaqi saw it was him, his expression was slightly stunned. He was the leader of the medical aid group, but Li Zheng was different. Li Zheng was a voluntary researcher. Even before he left, officials from the United Nations Health Organization told him to take good care of Mr. Li.
He smiled at Cage, then turned to the big black man.
"I know that the president of your country is working very hard for the early arrival of peace. I read the newspapers of your government, government and opposition parties before coming. The loudest slogan of the opposition is that the president does not act, it is difficult to make the people Get rid of disease and poverty. And the front page headlines of the government in recent days are the news that the United Nations medical team will be stationed, and I heard that the response from the masses is very good. "
Li Zheng paused when he said this, and looked at the big black man with a half-smile, "You said, we will turn around and leave now. What should I write at the back of this newspaper?"
Hearing the words, the big black man raised his head abruptly. He stared at Li Zheng viciously, like a lion on the African savannah, who would immediately rise up and tear up the enemy.
Li Zheng's body froze slightly, this kind of aura condensed from the sea of blood on the mountain of corpses made him a little scared.
Li Zheng put on a fake and gentle smile on his face. He also killed a lot of white mice and pigeons in his laboratory. In terms of the number of lives on his hands, he really wasn't afraid of anyone.
He gave Li Zheng a deep look, and then raised his hands high.
"The gunners are back, the tanks are ready to disperse."
The Doman soldiers stopped shooting immediately after receiving the order. The crowd was overjoyed at first, but before they were happy enough, several tanks lined up in front of them. The four cannons were aimed at the crowd, as if they would fire at every move.
The people on the border showed unwilling expressions on their faces, but looking at the tanks like steel behemoths, the crowd slowly receded.
The medical team, including Li Zheng, ran all the way. Not far from the border, more than a dozen have closed their eyes forever.
"There is help, this child is still saved!" a female nurse exclaimed.
"First aid kit ready, Carter sets up a makeshift surgical tent, bandages, hemostats!" Dr. Cage shouted.
Everyone got busy.
The big black man frowned, but he didn't say anything after all.
Li Zheng helped set up the tent, and there were not many injuries, so there was no need for him, a researcher, to rush to the front line of medical assistance. He looked around, looked at the big black man sitting directly on the ground, hesitated for a while, but walked over.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and handed it to the big man.
The big man glanced at him in surprise. The big man was unwilling to pay attention to these self-righteous people, but he had not smoked for a long time, and his eyes narrowed, but the big man still took the cigarette.
Li Zheng sat cross-legged beside him.
The big man took a puff of cigarette and exhaled white air from his mouth and nose, and at the same time there was a look of enjoyment on his face.
"I thought you would hate me as a demon. That's what your companion said." Seeing that Li Zheng didn't want to speak, the big man couldn't help but say.
Li Zheng glanced at him, and at the same time lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. This is the second cigarette he has lit in his life. What happened today made him unspeakably irritable. Why is he researching life-saving drugs day and night? At the same time, would someone be so indifferent or even hurt life
"I thought soldiers should protect their families and patriotism." Li Zheng said.
When Dahan heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, "Protect the family and the country, then TM has to have a home. I know you..." He looked at Li Zheng, "The inventor of Paminesadine."
Li Zheng looked over in surprise.
"We are very grateful to you, not only me, but them." He pointed to the Doman soldier who was looking at him secretly not far away.
"In the beginning, we also followed the rule of not allowing civilians to be harmed. But those opposition parties saw that we would not shoot civilians, and every time there was a conflict, they would go to town and arrest many civilians to stand in front of them. There was panic all over Doman, and everyone was afraid that suddenly someone would burst into their home and take them to the battlefield."
"So, we fired after that. We wanted to show them the facts that it's useless to get civilians over to block the gun. Interestingly, after we fired a few times, fewer civilians were killed on the battlefield."
"It's the same with women and children. If we don't shoot today, then tomorrow, the women and children of Doman will live in fear every day." The big man took a deep breath of his cigarette and sighed contentedly.
Li Zheng was silent for a long time, he couldn't tell what was in his heart.
This is probably the cruelty of war. People must choose between killing one and killing a group.
"I heard that Dorman's disease is spreading very seriously?" Li Zheng didn't want to talk about this heavy topic again, so he changed the topic.
The big man was silent for a while, "Well, it's serious."
