death of hope

Chapter 160 "Corporate Warrior" (76) Crazy Move

next day, night,
camp gate sentry,

Two security guards in woolen coats were on duty, yawning.

"Ah... It's so cold... This place is more than 40 degrees during the day, and it drops below zero in the middle of the night. It's simply not a place for people to stay..."

"Hey! Boy, there's a fire on the hill over there."

"Let me see."

Another took the telescope:

"It's not our company's facilities, maybe it's the gangsters and warlords fighting, or some supper caught fire? Who knows, it's all possible."

"Do you want to report to the captain?"

"It's free, you, the troubles of the locals are none of our company's business, we brothers just watch the gate and don't let outsiders slip in."

"That's true. By the way, the project will be finished in a few days, and we brothers should also withdraw."

"I'm thinking, what souvenirs to buy to take home for my wife and children."

"There's nothing to buy. There's nothing fancy in this poor place."

"Then... put some red sand in cans and bring it back, anyway, it doesn't cost any money to dig."

"Wonderful! Why didn't I think of that! The sand on other planets is yellowish brown, but the most distinctive thing here is the red sand."

"I listened to the local troubadours singing, and the lyrics said that these sands were dyed red with the blood of pioneers."

"There are indeed a lot of unnamed graves in this place, but they are not that exaggerated. They are just artistic processing of folk songs and legends. If the sand is really soaked in blood and stained red, it will be so fishy."

Suddenly, a faint voice came from outside the door, and the two security guards shuddered at the same time, picking up their rifles one after another:

"There's movement! Could it be...that big white-scaled lizard came again?"

"It doesn't look like a wild animal."

"Shh! Did you hear that, crying...someone is talking."

"Uncle...my name is Danni, I'm from the next door, Jiaojing Village, please! Let me in! Someone is going to kill me!"

"Who?"

The high-power searchlight illuminated a dirty little face, it was a girl in her early teens.

The child's face was covered with mud and tears, and her blue eyes were blinded by the light, so she had to hold out her small hand to shield them.

"It was a false alarm. It was a little village girl covered in mud, without a weapon."

"She said someone was chasing her, but she didn't see anyone behind her."

"Don't take it lightly, maybe it's a trap, used to trick us into opening the door."

"But... this child is crying very sad... She is about the same age as my daughter, so I can't bear to reject her..."

Although they knew it was unwise, parents always have compassion. The two security guards looked at each other, put down their rifles, and one of them shouted:
"Put your hands down! Little one! Let us see your face!"

"Oh! It's a familiar face! She's...that...remember!
Little Danny, who always walks around the neighborhood with a basket during the day, selling sour oranges! "

"I'm an old acquaintance, let her in."

The iron door creaked open, and the short figure hurried in as if fleeing from some kind of monster:
"Thank you uncle..."

Danni, who was lively and talkative in the past, has completely changed now. She has become timid, with her neck shrunk, her hands hugging her shoulders, her legs trembling, as if she was terribly frightened.

"What? Little Danny... come to sell oranges in the middle of the night?"

"I... can't breathe..."

"The kid must have been running all the way... panting,
Don't worry, little Danny, catch your breath and tell your uncle slowly, why are you crying?Did your mother teach you a lesson for stealing snacks? "

"Dad and mother...were shot to death...to protect me...the plastic shed...even my family's...orange tree...was burned...the village is like...hell..."

After the girl finished speaking intermittently, her eyes darkened and she fell down.

"Ouch! What's the matter! This is it! Little Dany! Wake up!"

The security guard picked her up and said, "My God! She's wounded! A bullet grazed her neck, it's too dangerous!"

"What kind of beast would shoot at such a lovely child!"

"Don't forget that this is Kurmat. On this planet, there are many such people, no, such beasts."

Dany squinted her eyes and said in a half-dizzy way:

"The warlord's food requisition team... wanted food, women, and beautiful boys... the village chief's grandfather argued with them, and the whole family was locked in the house and burned alive. When the big guys saw that the situation was not good, they started to take guns resistance……

We are not opponents...those guys are jealous...pregnant women and children are not spared...they burned the village, saying it was revenge for unruly paying tribute...then...the massacre...began...

Everything is burning... Me and my neighbour's little Carl escaped...

He has an old-fashioned pistol, so he decided to stay and find a way to save his old sister, and let me go to rescue the soldiers... Halfway through the drive, the tractor broke down... I abandoned the car and ran...run...run...lungs are about to explode ..."

Speaking of this, the girl Dani fainted again.

"Don't worry, the child is fine, just too tired and frightened."

"Damn! The fire just now... the village was attacked! This is a brutal massacre! Tell the captain about it!"

"Don't be stupid! Tell him what to do, we can't give up the defense of the camp to help, and the warlords are not good at it."

"Then... go to the Alpha Special Warfare Team, those guys are amazing!"

"Hey! This happened at the wrong time! Their captain, Captain Lynch, took most of the team members to the base to perform duties, leaving only one person to protect the drilling rig."

"No matter how strong... one person is enough to do... Hey! I can only stare blindly and worry... Poor child..."

Dany came to her senses again:

"Karl...he asked me to find...the savior, Sister Sigurdlifa...she will definitely save us..."

"Oops! This child has fainted again! Who is that person she is talking about?"

"You're an ascetic monk, you don't even know that! That tall, blond and beautiful girl from the Alpha Special Forces Team!"

"Coincidentally! It was she who stayed to watch the drilling machine! Little Danny, you wait, uncle will help you find this person!"

A few minutes later, the door-breaker Sigurdlifa, who was wearing armor and was on duty, ran over in a hurry, with a pair of strong long legs and vigorous steps, leaving the security guard far behind.

"Little Dany! Is Carl all right?"

"She is unconscious, the child has already passed out."

Sigdrifa turned his gaze to the tarmac of the camp:

"Go to the prefab and wake up your pilots!"

"Hey, listen, Corporate Warrior, we're not going to follow you there to kill you!

Although I sympathize with what happened to the child and the villagers, there are old and young in my family, so I really dare not take this risk. "

"Who said I need your help, I'll go by myself, wake up the pilot!"

"Go yourself... are you crazy? And that guy drank two bottles of vodka! He slept like a dead pig! Even a madman wouldn't dare to fly on his plane!"

"I'm [-] times crazier than all the psychopaths you've ever seen! Tell me his dormitory number!"

After a few more minutes, the tall corporate fighters forcibly dragged the drunk pilot over, threw him on the cockpit of the helicopter, and began throwing weapons and equipment into the cabin.

"My God, this guy is so drunk, maybe he's been poisoned by alcohol..."

Looking at the flames in the distance, Sigurdriefa was impatient and pulled the muddy driver down roughly:

"Take him and little Danni to see a doctor, I will drive myself!"

"Hey! Don't mess around!"

"do not bother me!"

Just based on the impression of practicing on the simulated pilot, Sigurd Lifa successfully started the helicopter engine, and the surrounding dust was blown into the air by the propeller.

The Dragonfly DH4 light helicopter gradually increased its altitude, and then staggered away.

People in the camp were woken up a lot, and the security captain came to inquire about the situation wearing a coat.

"Who can tell me! What the hell happened!"

The security guard told him helplessly:

"Only one thing is certain, that corporate warrior must have gone mad."
