Chapter 21 Even if we're going to die, we'll die with our fill!
The boiled steamed buns at Wang Daqiang's house were quickly devoured.
These people had been starving for so long that they wolfed down their food like wild beasts, stuffing it directly into their mouths with their hands, completely disregarding manners and dignity.
"Gone!"
"You son of a bitch, Dog Egg! You stole most of the food! I'll fight you to the death!"
Several people started tearing at each other.
Someone suddenly shouted.
"Are you all stupid? What are you arguing about? We're all starving anyway, so let's just go all out and grab some food from the air-raid shelter!"
Even if we die, we'll die with our fill!
At the command, countless people erupted in cheers!
No one paid any attention to the unconscious Old Man Wang and his family. They filed out of the small cave and rushed toward the air-raid shelter!
"We have food!"
"The big guys don't have to die!"
"Let's rush to the air-raid shelter and grab some food!"
The men holding Wang Daqiang down exchanged bewildered glances. "Should we keep Wang Daqiang pinned down?"
The leader, a brazen scoundrel, spat on the ground and yelled, "What the hell are you betting on?!"
“We’ve got the guy under our control, but did you even get a bite of the steamed bun? It all went into that son of a bitch Gou Dan’s stomach.”
"From now on, let whoever wants to be the sucker can be the sucker; I'm never doing it again."
"Let go, release them!"
"Let's rush to that air-raid shelter and grab the food!"
After saying that, these people rushed out.
Overwhelmed with guilt, Wang Daqiang never imagined that his simple desire to share some food with his family would lead to such a terrible mistake. He grabbed one of the men's arms and twisted him under his body.
His eyes turned a deep crimson, "Nobody's leaving!"
"That's military rations! Military rations! Do you know what military rations represent? Only if the soldiers survive can they lead the people out of the encirclement and survive!"
"You've stolen military rations, who's going to carry guns and kill the Japanese devils!"
Wang Daqiang was strong, and in his extreme anger, he twisted the man's bones with all his might, causing him to cry out "Ouch!" repeatedly.
He kept pleading, "Daqiang, what's the point of telling me all this?"
"Besides, can you stop me alone, but can you stop this whole group?"
"Don't give me that. I'm just a poor commoner. I don't care about the grand plans for the people. I just want to survive right now! If I don't have anything to eat, forget about the future. I'll die right now!"
"Whether I die sooner or later, I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well die with a full stomach!"
These are the people's true feelings.
They lack lofty ideals; their limited vision and narrow perspective restrict them, leaving them only with the mundane realities of life.
If we can't even survive right now, what's the point of talking about the future?
Wang Daqiang was confused, his mind was torn between two conflicting thoughts, and his heart was clenched tightly.
Taking advantage of Wang Daqiang's momentary lapse in attention, the man scrambled to his feet and fled in a panic, heading straight for the air-raid shelter.
In the pitch-black valley, the crowd moved like rolling ants toward the air-raid shelter!
The air-raid shelters were kept dark at night to prevent the enemy from finding their location.
But at this moment, the air-raid shelter was shrouded in a warm yellow light, just like a large ship sailing in a valley, swaying and rocking, possibly hitting a reef at any moment.
Danger!
This was the first thought that popped into Wang Daqiang's mind.
He subconsciously raised his head.
Just as the sense of crisis in my mind became a reality, the fighter jets arrived unexpectedly with a long and piercing sound!
The shadows of enemy warplanes were reflected in Wang Daqiang's pupils.
Like a swarm of cockroaches baring their fangs and claws, they launched a fierce attack on the vast population of people in the valley!
"Lie down—"
The sound seemed to explode from his throat, and Wang Daqiang's pupils instantly split open with countless red veins.
Unfortunately, the transmission rate of human voice is limited.
With the roar of fighter jets drawing most of the attention, only those closest to Wang Daqiang lay down.
"Bang—bang—bang—"
Bombs rained down one after another, leaving a deathly silence in the dust and smoke.
The earth trembled, the air twisted, dust and smoke blotted out the sun, and the world turned gray and black.
The excruciating pain felt as if it had run over Wang Daqiang's entire body.
He trembled as he pushed himself up from the ground, instinctively looking for a cave to hide in. When he returned to the cave, Aunt Wang asked him in a panic.
"What happened to Daqiang?"
Wang Erya screamed in fright.
"Aaaaaah! Mom, a bomb has killed someone!"
"Brother! Father is still unconscious, please save him!"
Wang Daqiang hurriedly went to check on Old Man Wang's condition, pressing his finger hard on the philtrum. After a while, Old Man Wang opened his eyes.
The person was extremely weak and needed to rest, but thankfully was out of danger.
After settling Old Man Wang in, Wang Daqiang got up and discovered that the cave was in complete disarray.
Outside the cave, countless people fell, and countless others dragged their broken bodies toward the air-raid shelter.
These refugees, driven mad by hunger, were like locusts swarming across the land, determined to leave nothing but desolation.
Seeing these scenes of human tragedy, Wang Daqiang suddenly clenched his fists, overwhelmed by intense guilt.
The lights in the air-raid shelter were put out quickly after a brief period of illumination.
The fighter jets lost their target again and began to indiscriminately drop bombs all over the valley.
"Boom—" "Bang—"
Each sound seemed to tug at people's hearts, giving them a jolt.
"what happen?"
Qin Lizhi woke up with a start, his long, slender fingers twisting the brass buttons on his military uniform, his long eyebrows furrowing as he asked.
"Young Marshal, something bad has happened! It seems a large number of civilians are heading towards our air-raid shelter, shouting that there is food in our air-raid shelter."
"Who leaked this information? Kill them without mercy!"
"Yes, my subordinates will go check it out now!"
"The most important thing right now is not that, but that someone we were scouting earlier lit a lantern, indicating that the enemy has discovered our location and is currently bombing the valley."
"This wave of bombing has resulted in countless civilian deaths and injuries."
"Although these people are thugs, human lives are at stake. We are now in dire straits, both internally and externally. What should we do?"
After years of military service, this was the first time Zhang, the adjutant, had encountered such a complex situation. Even he was flustered and lost his composure.
"Why are you panicking?"
"You immediately take your elite troops to the back mountain to meet the enemy."
"As for the thugs, I'll deal with them myself."
"Yes!"
Qin Lizhi truly lived up to his reputation as the backbone of the Jinsan Brigade. After hearing these words, Zhang, the adjutant, felt more confident. He turned around, gave the order, and with a wave of his hand, led a team of several hundred men away in the dark.
"All geared up, let's go for it tonight and try to shoot down a fighter jet!"
"Yes, Lieutenant Zhang!"
Qin Lizhi stepped over the air-raid shelter, took the cloak offered to him by the men below, tightened his white gloves, and pursed his lips into a straight line. The soldiers holding guns at the door automatically parted to make way for him.
The moment he stood at the entrance of the cave, he unexpectedly bumped into the faces of people whose eyes were green with hunger.
