"One, two, three, use force..." Liv hooked a huge stone slab with a red sickle, while Elaine's hands flashed with magical light, and bombarded heavily on the lower end of the stone slab.
"Bang!" The stone slab the size of a millstone spun twice in the air and fell on another pile of ruins, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Below the stone slab is a pothole made of broken beams and bricks, in which two figures, one large and one small, are huddling up. This is an Islamic woman wearing a veil. Judging from the wrinkles on the back of her hands, she is an old man holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in her arms.
They were lucky to escape the collapse of the house under this messy dark hole and not be buried in the rubble like the rest of the family.
"Hey, you're safe!" Liv leaned into the pothole and helped the two climb out of the hole.
Both the elderly and the children are weak, probably due to lack of oxygen. The two looked at Liv and Elaine, but there was no gratitude in their eyes, just indifferent numbness.
Two Allied soldiers with cross armbands ran from a distance and picked up the old man and the child. These homeless refugees had to temporarily live in military tents on the outskirts of the city, waiting for the army to clear the area, and then, together with other survivors, rebuild their homes by themselves.
It is foreseeable that the US and British garrisons will not take refugee assistance as their main task, and they still have a war to fight. What is waiting for these poor people is very likely to be suffering from hunger and cold for several years. Perhaps when the war is over, the number of survivors will be reduced by more than half.
"Woo..." On the brick-strewn street, a military jeep sped up. A middle-aged U.S. colonel jumped out of the jeep before the car stopped.
"Miss Liv, Miss Elaine, I finally found you!" The colonel said seriously with a straight face, "You two, with all due respect, your responsibilities are not here, please go to the underground shelter, my people will take over Civilian rescue here!"
Liv raised her eyebrows, but before she could speak, Elaine beside her said coldly: "Colonel, are you sure? We've been here for nearly half an hour, and you and these soldiers just arrived, you know If we weren't here, how many civilians would have died here?"
"Miss Elaine, the 101st Division must first clean up the German special forces in the city center. What's more, the Germans used incendiary bombs in the shelling. You have no idea how much sacrifice we have made for this..." A staff lieutenant next to the colonel endured retorted angrily.
"Really, the entire paratrooper division besieged a German commando with less than thirty people? Tell me, if this was New York, what would you do?" Liv said sarcastically.
The staff lieutenant opened his mouth wide, unable to speak.
"Forgive Lieutenant Jonathan, he's just... angry at the sacrifice of his comrades. Casablanca is not New York. It lacks fire trucks and necessary urban facilities. We can't let soldiers act as firefighters and perform rescue tasks in the sea of fire!" The colonel sighed. , weakly justified.
"After all, you are just American soldiers, and you don't care about the life and death of civilians in Casablanca!" Elaine flicked her ponytail and stepped onto the jeep, "Let's go, Colonel, I hope you can keep your promise and try your best to do something for these survivors! "
The jeep was back on the road, heading towards the museum like lightning.
"Colonel, what's the situation in the underground shelter?" After a moment of silence, Liv couldn't help asking the two officers, "Actually, we already had a companion who rushed to the underground shelter."
"I don't know the specific situation, but the information from below is very urgent. Several superhumans led by Skorzny almost broke through the main protection area where the heads of the three countries are located, but for some reason, they It's time to retreat." The colonel said with a frown.
"According to intelligence reports, at that point in time, two members of the 'Gentlemen's League' also broke through another laboratory. It's just that the laboratory is definitely not as important as the main area where the heads of the three countries are located. In order to prevent the Germans from making a comeback , 'Justice League' didn't go after the Germans."
Liv and Elaine looked at each other and fell silent, both worried about Katrin and another companion.
"Eileen, you said that the 'queen' and the professor will be fine?" Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but asked her companion.
"Professor Katrin is much better than us, she will be fine!" Elaine curled her lips, "As for the black witch who always dresses herself up like a queen, she is so cunning, she will be fine!"
"Hee hee, your relationship is still so bad, one thinks of herself as Snow White, and the other as a black-hearted queen!" Li Fu covered her mouth heartlessly and laughed.
"Tch, the ghost has something to do with her! Hey, what's wrong here?" Elaine turned her head to look at the driveway outside the jeep in the middle of speaking.
As the jeep approached the location of the museum, at a glance, the roadside was full of wounded American soldiers, most of whom were lying in strange postures on the streets strewn with bricks and stones, and had lost their breath of life. The rest of the soldiers pressed their wounds, moaning in pain.
"Lieutenant Jonathan once said that we paid great sacrifices near the museum." The colonel pursed his lips tightly and squeezed his knuckles secretly, "Last night, we attacked and killed nearly a hundred German soldiers on the beach. Fort Special Forces, they returned it to us ten times today!"
"The German special forces are hiding in the ruins after the shelling. They are all sharpshooters. They shoot a shot to change places. Every inch our soldiers advance will leave a corpse. They also have special weapons that can penetrate tank armor. , It seems to be a smaller version of the Soviet rocket." Lieutenant Jonathan said blankly, "A little further ahead, you can see those Sherman tanks that are still burning!"
"They delayed the 101st Division for nearly half an hour. We had no choice but to use heavy artillery to bombard every ruin of their hidden houses." The colonel said lightly, "Casablanca no longer has a city center, the place closest to the museum , you will find that there is not even a complete brick. Of course, there is no corpse!"
Liv and Elaine were shocked. In this short city battle, the two fairy tale girls seemed to have a new understanding of war.
When the colonel said that there were no corpses, he didn't mean that the enemy had fled, but that under the intensive bombing, it was impossible to find complete corpses, and the flesh and blood mixed with sand and soil might not even show the appearance of human organs.
"Eileen..." Little Red Riding Hood turned to look at Elaine.
"En!" The white-haired girl's eyes flashed, she pushed the door of the jeep, jumped out of the car, and rushed towards the museum.
"Colonel, the jeep is too slow, let's take a step first!" Liv jumped up at the same time, with her toes on the front of the jeep, and chased after Elaine.
…
"Joy, you come, or I come!" Grant stepped on the collapsed iron gate with his military boots, and pointed to the black-haired girl in front of him.
"I'll leave it to you, as compensation for my previous rudeness!" Joey grinned, and walked towards the surrounding researchers with the blood-dripping package.
"Do you also have the concept of apologizing?" Grant pouted, and walked up to the "Black Queen".
Mira took off the straight knife behind her back with a stern face. She didn't pay attention to Joey on the other side, but just stared at Grant in front of her, slowly growing an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Da da da!" Continuous gunshots sounded in the laboratory. The real scientists here have all been withdrawn, and the people left behind are researchers from the Allied military. Most of them have received military training, and they are more or less wearing a pistol or two.
"Hey!" Joey licked his dry lips, lifted a heavy armchair with one hand, and threw himself at the researchers as a shield.
"I hate people in white coats, this brings back some really bad memories!"
The evil dagger in Joey's hand fluttered like a butterfly, and any resisters who approached him fell down clutching their necks within one or two encounters. Pools of blood gathered on the ground to form a stream, and the entire laboratory was splashed with blood, as if it had been stained with a bewitching blood color.
"Run away, don't worry about those documents, run away, I can't stop them alone!" The black-haired girl yelled at the remaining living people in the laboratory, but the movements in her hands were abnormally agile, and a black streak flashed across the front of the straight knife. A light flashed across Grant's shoulder.
"Hey!" Grant's shoulder was splashed with blood, and a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes. Looking at the straight knife turned into a whip hanging at the black-haired girl's feet, he gritted his teeth, "It's a whip weapon again!"
"Have you ever seen the whips of other superpowers? Dr. Jones?" Mira rolled her eyes, her face as cold as an iceberg showed a trace of solemnity, "German, can I ask you a question? Since you have seen Dr. Jones, So have you seen a…”
"Hey, Katrin, right?" A trace of surprise flashed across Grant's face, "Who is that woman to you? Sister, mother, or teacher?"
"Professor Katrin is my teacher!" Seeing Grant's weird expression, the girl's entire heart was almost filled with ominous feeling.
"I'm sorry!" Grant suddenly showed an elegant smile, "Since Green College participated in the war, it should be ready..."
"Shut up!" The girl's shoulders trembled, her face lost all color in an instant, and she immediately interrupted Grant's words, "Stop talking, I don't believe you!"
Grant spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped talking, and the two froze in place for a moment. It's not that the clown doesn't want to kill the "Black Queen". On the contrary, because of Joey's excellent record, the clown's desire to fight has never been as intense as it is now. It's just that due to the serious injury, he had to adopt delaying tactics.
He had to wait for Skorzny and others to arrive, while Mira was covering the withdrawal of all the researchers, and Joey was collecting documents in the laboratory at this time. Except for those white coats who ran to the secret passage in a panic, for a while, the laboratory fell into a strange tacit understanding.
However, the tacit understanding between the two parties was quickly broken by a reckless researcher. Seeing that Joey ignored them, the young military researcher gritted his teeth and threw himself into the huge water tank in the center of the laboratory.
"Stop!" Mira's face changed drastically, and Grant's eyes lit up, and he flew up at the moment the girl diverted his attention.
On the other side, with his back to the water tank, Joey's blood-red eyes slipped to the corners of his eyes strangely, like a cunning poisonous snake, silently staring at the young researcher in the dark.
