Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 745 Ten Minutes

"Cough-cough-"

Noura coughed twice, then said loudly: "Doctor Maria, there are some injured people outside, you have to go and see them."

Maria instinctively stopped crying when she heard there were wounded people.

Only then did she realize that she had been crying so hard that Song Heping's clothes were soaked.

So he apologized a little awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now..."

Song Heping said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay..."

After Maria left, Nura said to Song Heping: "Women like her can be stoned to death in our place."

Song Heping was stunned.

He suddenly remembered that the Bedouins also followed some of YSL's codes and had very strict controls on women.

However, he was surprised by Nura's big reaction.

"what……"

Song Heping laughed.

It's obviously not easy to respond to this kind of thing, it's a trap.

Although he has no experience in love, he is not stupid.

"I'll go out and see if they can help."

After finding an excuse, Song Heping quickly slipped away.

I can clearly feel some changes in Nura recently.

There was already wailing outside the door.

When Song Heping walked out of the church, the open space in front was already filled with wounded people and corpses.

The villagers sent their injured or still-living relatives here, hoping to get treatment.

Maria was busy among the crowd, looking at this and that.

"Everyone go and help."

Song Heping glanced at Jiang Feng and Antonov, then went to the car to get a first aid kit and began to give simple bandages to the injured villagers.

But he soon felt powerless.

Hundreds of villagers were injured or killed.

Their injuries could not be treated with a first aid kit.

Hundreds of first aid kits couldn't bring them back to life.

They need hospitals.

But there is no hospital here.

There are war zones all around.

To get to the hospital, you have to walk at least 100 kilometers north to enter a hospital in North Sudan.

Soon, many seriously injured soldiers began to die one after another.

Song Heping killed many people on the battlefield.

But this was the first time I saw so many people slowly dying during the treatment process.

There's no way to describe the feeling between the two.

The former is to kill the other party, so just kill him without any feeling.

The latter is trying to save someone and save their life, but ends up watching the other person die in front of them.

This kind of frustration is something I have never experienced before.

Song Heping suddenly had a strange realization.

In fact, killing is much easier than saving.

It only takes one bullet to kill someone.

Saving a life may require a hospital, an operating room, sufficient medicine and a skilled doctor.

"Oh! God!"

Maria suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

The crying startled everyone.

The villagers who had been wailing because of the death of their loved ones stopped crying and looked at Maria, not understanding why this usually strong female doctor suddenly cried so hard.

Song Heping knew it clearly.

But he knew he couldn't persuade her.

Jiang Feng asked: "Aren't you going to comfort them?"

Song Heping rolled his eyes at this guy who only wanted to cause chaos in the world and said, "The best thing to do now is to let her cry and vent."

Jiang Feng looked at his watch and said, "You may cry, but I have to remind you of something. Time is running out."

Song Heping knew what time Jiang Feng was talking about.

This is a war-torn area. Currently, armed forces and government forces have started fighting, and the battle line continues to change. A group of armed personnel has already arrived in Koma Village, which means that the next group will not be here soon.

The disappearance of a company of rebels is not a trivial matter. The enemy's superiors will eventually know that something has happened here.

Once the main force arrives, I'm afraid that even the strongest of my men won't be able to withstand the attack of thousands of militants. "Okay, ten minutes."

Song Heping said, "We'll leave in ten minutes."

He had to consider his brother's safety.

The villagers of Koma Village are very pitiful.

But there are too many poor people on the African continent.

There is no one in a war-torn country who is not suffering.

I am not God, and I don’t want to play God.

If you can't save it, you can't save it.

"Maria, stop crying."

He walked up to the female doctor and patted her on the shoulder.

"Now is not the time to cry. I have to tell you something more realistic. This place is not safe anymore. Some of those militants must have escaped. Their superiors will soon know what's happening here and will definitely send a large number of troops to encircle and suppress Koma Village. You must tell the villagers that if they want to survive, it's time to leave."

Maria finally stopped crying.

She is an adult after all. Although her collapse only lasted for a moment, she still had her sanity.

Alive.

This is the most arduous and difficult task at present.

Nothing is more realistic and practical than being alive.

"Okay... I'll go tell them..."

"Well, ten minutes. If they're willing to leave, I can provide them with ten minutes of protection. Don't think it's too short. It's too dangerous here, and my people are taking a big risk."

"What do you do exactly?"

Maria suddenly thought of an important question.

After all, she had wanted to ask before.

Song Heping said before that he was a businessman, but he really doesn’t look like one.

At this point, Song Heping didn't intend to hide it, so he confessed: "I am the boss of a PMC company, and these people are the core fighters of my company, so there is no need for you to be suspicious. We are professionals in this business."

"Okay, I see."

Maria wiped away her tears, stood up, looked around, walked towards the crowd, and went to discuss evacuation with the respected clan leaders in the village.

Song Heping was unwilling to interfere in their conversation.

These villagers will eventually have somewhere to go, it’s just that it’s safer to go there.

This is not within my scope of responsibility, nor is it an obligation.

I just made a surprise attack and repaid Maria for saving Hou Xing.

Song Heping's gaze quickly fell on the distance. Under a tree about a few dozen meters behind the church, "Carpenter" Danny was busy there, apparently digging a grave.

While there was still time, Song Heping left the crowd and walked towards the big tree.

"Danny!"

Song Heping took the initiative to greet him, his eyes falling on the ground.

He saw Jose's body, now lying in the pit.

Danny nodded to Song Heping and continued to fill the pit with soil.

Jose's face and body were gradually covered by mud until they were submerged.

"Jose planted this tree when he first came here. It has grown this tall now. He said that if he died one day, he would be buried here."

Danny quickly filled the grave with soil, patted the loose soil, tamped the grave, picked up the wooden cross that had been prepared long ago and inserted it, then closed his eyes and prayed in front of the grave.

After a moment, he turned around and asked Song Heping: "Are we going to withdraw?"

Song Heping nodded: "Well, what are your plans?"

"Plans?" Danny shook his head blankly. "When I came to Africa, I wandered around. Later, I met Jose, and then I settled down here. It's been a few years..."

Danny looked up at the lush treetops with emotion. A few rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves and fell on his face, looking like the patterns on a cheetah's skin.

"I killed too many people when I was in the army. After retiring, I wanted to come to Africa to atone for my sins. I also saved people here, but now I realize that preaching and saving people like Jose is useless, and healing people like Maria is useless. In the face of force, these are not worth mentioning..."

"So what are your plans?" Song Heping asked.

Danny shook his head. "I don't know. We'll take it one step at a time."

Song Heping looked at his watch: "We are going to withdraw."

"Where to retreat?" Danny asked.

Song Heping said: "We are heading to Ethiopia now. We were going to Ethiopia anyway."

"Over there..." Danny said, "Yes, it's quite safe over there."

"Old monitor!"

Jiang Feng ran over.

"That foreign girl is looking for you!"
