death of hope

Chapter 281 "Enterprise Warrior" (197) Watching the Ruins

Twelve hours later, the senior federal tax officer and his surviving subordinates left on the Glory-class frigate.

There is also a Poseidon-class landing ship parked in the orbit outside the planet. The captain of this ship, Lord Lisenberg, and Lynch are old friends.

The Alpha tactical team entered the atmosphere of Pandora again and landed at the preset coordinates.
The town was in ruins, the market stalls were smashed to pieces, and a Shilka river half-track military transport vehicle destroyed by monsters was parked in the middle of the market,
Flat tires covered with moss, broken tracks sagging, the remains of a blind beast crushed under the road wheels,
Lynch stepped forward to open the car door. A skeleton wearing body armor was sitting in the driver's cab, with his mouth open and artificial dental implants clearly visible. He seemed to be talking about the tragedy at that time without words.

The carriages were littered with grenades, assault rifles, helmets, batteries, and loaded magazines. The soldiers had all died before they were used.

"I salute you, Second Class." Lynch saluted the skeleton:
"This car belongs to the Pandora National Guard. These people are not professional soldiers. They are workers, farmers, small shopkeepers, and ballerinas. They have only received simple military training."

"It appears that they are still trying to evacuate civilians at the last minute."

"Brave people, but they can't stop the blind beasts flooding the surface like a tide. By the time our regular army returns to help, it's already too late."

"Boss, how many underground monsters entered the town at that time."

"It's impossible to count accurately, but it must be far more than [-]. The satellite photos make people's scalp tingle, and the governor was so scared that he peed his pants."

"God, it's a lot of work to kill one, ten thousand? That's an apocalyptic disaster."

"Ten years have passed, most of them have disappeared, and we still can't relax our vigilance. You saw in the shopping mall yesterday, the horror of this creature."

"In their eyes, human beings are delicious and juicy roasted chicken legs, and they are willing to be shot for a bite."

"Hacker, report the situation."

"The drone cruise is over...no enemy has been found near the town."

"Very well, we are lucky, there is no food here, and the blind beast has left,
The old rules, walk lightly, don't knock things down, don't shoot unless absolutely necessary. "

Lynch's house is not far from the market,
Along the way, there are bricks, bullet casings, and shell fragments scattered by the explosion. The remains of humans and animals have long been weathered.

The walls of the chapel are painted with red paint in the desperate handwriting of the pastor before his death;

The gates of hell are wide open, and demons come out in droves, begging God to save the common people...

"A lot of civilians were hidden in the small church back then, and the priests fought with guns. Later, they were also captured. The statue of Jehovah was spattered with blood. Pope O'Brien XVII canonized the three priests here."

"What's the use of that! It's like the canonization of Joan of Arc back then, why did you go so early!

Why didn't you save her when she was burned by flames 500 years ago! "Lodayev said angrily; "The Lord has abandoned his believers, what's the use of faith!" "

Mehmadi frowned and wanted to refute, but found that all religious justifications were pale and powerless in the face of the bloody reality, so he could only sigh and give up. Deep in his heart, the foundation of his belief had been shaken.

Walking to a dilapidated house with sloping walls, broken window lattices, and loose tiles, Lynch stopped in his tracks and his eyes became sad.

"arrive."

"Boss... is this your home?"

"Ah."

"I'll go in and find out..."

"No need, I have been here before, please help to be vigilant, Sig, come with me."

"it is good."

The rotten wooden door was smashed by the violent force of the blind beast, and the room was so dark that you had to turn on the inspection light to see clearly. The two entered for about three to four minutes, and then appeared in the small yard on the side of the house.

In the barren flower garden, there are two piles of slightly raised soil bags, on which are inserted a simple cross made of three-ply wooden strips and iron wires. The wooden strips are engraved:

beth lynch
suzanne lynch

In front of the grave, there are two stones pressing two pieces of plastic paper, and the bouquet wrapped inside has long been annihilated by the wind and turned into dust.

Many years ago, a tough man with a heart like a stone wept here.

(Mom, little Bess, I'm back.)
Captain Marcus Lynch took off his helmet, put it with his rifle, and knelt down before the cross,
He bowed his head in silence for a while, and said something to Sigdrifa beside him.

The other team members were still vigilant around, the town was dead silent, no trace of the blind beast was found, and they gradually relaxed.

"It's too eccentric. If you have a beautiful wife, you will forget about your brother." Shaft complained: "The boss still treats us as outsiders, and doesn't invite us to come in and sit around."

"you're so dumb!"

Wang Hongye knocked on the hacker's helmet: "The boss's mother and younger sister died at home, what can there be to see in the house?"

"Then why did you bring her in?"

"Shaft, you're an idiot except for working with computers!" Lodayev patted the hacker on the shoulder: "That's his best friend, fiancee, how can he be the same as you, a foul-mouthed bastard."

"Haha, that's true."

In the yard, Sigurdriefa took out two bouquets of white lilacs she had prepared, said something softly to the cross, then bent down and placed the flowers on the grave bag respectively, and placed two polished obsidian stones live.

Lynch pulled out a shiny ring and put it on her finger, and the two bowed again.

"I see." Wang Hongye nodded.

Lodayev said: "The boss is introducing new members to the family. According to the local folklore of Pandora, before getting married, you must meet each other's parents and present gifts."

"Thinking about it this way... Sister Sig is the only one left in her family... The two of them will depend on each other for life from now on."

"So, we must not let the boss's wedding be deserted! We need to bring more people, friends and relatives, the more the better, the lively and lively eating, drinking and having fun, and then we will make a wedding room together!"

"The wedding must be lively! That's auspicious!" Mehmadi expressed his approval: "It must be. I will take the folks with me."

"Big Beard, you are taking the opportunity to eat."

"When it comes to making trouble in the bridal chamber, I'm going to be in good spirits," Shaft rubbed his hands wretchedly, "I'm going to tear up her stockings and stuff them into the boss's mouth. According to the rules, guests can't lose their temper no matter how mischievous they are."

Wang Hongye made a disgusted expression: "Stuff it in the boss's mouth? You kid just want to take away the stockings and keep them for yourself! Pervert! Don't come when I get married!"

"Haha, I've been seen through."

At this time, a brick wall in the ruins on the east side of the road collapsed, splashing a large amount of dust, and the frightened crow fled with its black wings flapping.

"There is movement! Could it be a blind beast?"

Mehmadi raised the electromagnetic sniper rifle, adjusted the multiple of the scope and observed carefully:

"It's human! I saw a figure passing by!"

"Who!?" Lynch and Sigdrifa heard the voice, "How is it possible? Pandora has been abandoned for ten years!"

"Is the bearded man dazzled?"

"My eyesight is very good! A person who walks on two legs is not a human...could it be a gorilla?"
