The Death List Novel - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Rush To Help
“One, two, three, force” Liv hooked a huge stone slab with a red sickle, and Elaine’s hands shone with magical light, heavily hitting the bottom of the stone slab.

“Bang!” The stone slab the size of a millstone spun twice in the air and landed on another pile of ruins, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Below the stone slab was a pit made of broken beams and masonry. Two figures, one big and one small, were curled up inside. It was an Islamic woman wearing a veil. Judging from the wrinkles on the back of her hand, it was an old man. She was holding a seven or eight year old girl in her arms.

Luckily, they escaped the collapse of the house in this chaotic cave and weren’t buried in the rubble like the rest of the family.

“Hey, you’re safe!” Liv leaned into the hole and helped the two climb out of it.

Both the old man and the child were somewhat weak, probably due to lack of oxygen. The two of them looked at Liv and Elaine, but there was no gratitude in their eyes. They were just indifferent and numb.

Two Allied soldiers with crossed cuffs ran over from afar to pick up the old man and the child. The homeless refugees had to stay in military tents on the outskirts of the city for the time being, waiting for the army to clear the area before working with other survivors to rebuild their homes.

It is foreseeable that the U.S. And British garrisons will not focus on assisting refugees. They still have a war to fight. It was highly likely that years of hunger and cold would be waiting for these pitiful people. Perhaps by the time the war ended, the number of survivors would be reduced by more than half.

“Woo ~ ~ ~” On the masonry streets, a military jeep flew over. A middle-aged colonel jumped off the jeep before the car could stop.

“Miss Liv, Miss Elaine, I finally found you!” The colonel said solemnly with a stern face, “Guys, with all due respect, your duty is not here. Please go to the underground shelter. My men will take over the rescue of the civilians here!”

Liv raised her eyebrows, but before she could speak, Elaine, who was beside her, said coldly, “Colonel, are you sure? We’ve been here for nearly half an hour, and you’ve just arrived with these soldiers. Do you know how many civilians would die if we weren’t here?”

“Miss Elaine, the 101st division must first clean up the German special forces in the center of the city. Besides, the Germans used incendiary bombs in the bombardment. You have no idea how much sacrifice we have made …” A lieutenant staff officer beside the colonel retorted angrily.

“Is that so? The entire paratrooper division is besieging the German commandos of less than 30 men? Tell me, what would you do if this was New York?” Liv said mockingly.

The lieutenant staff officer opened his mouth wide and was speechless.

‘”Please forgive Lieutenant Jonathan. He’s just … angry at the sacrifice of his comrades. Casablanca is not New York. We don’t have fire engines and necessary city facilities here. We can’t let soldiers be firefighters and perform rescue missions in the sea of fire!” The colonel sighed and defended weakly.

“In the end, you are only American soldiers and do not care about the lives of civilians in Casablanca!” Elaine waved her ponytail and stepped onto the jeep. “Let’s go, Colonel. I hope you’ll keep your promise and try to do something for the survivors!”

The jeep went back on the road and flew in the direction of the museum at lightning speed.

“Colonel, what’s the situation with the underground shelter?” After a moment of silence, Liv couldn’t help but ask the two officers, “Actually, we already had a companion who rushed to the underground shelter.”

“I don’t know the specifics, but the feedback from below is urgent. The superhumans led by Skorzini almost broke through the main defensive zone of the three leaders, but for some reason, they retreated at the last minute.” Said the colonel with a frown.

“According to intelligence reports, there were two other members of the Gentlemen’s Union who broke through to another laboratory at that time. However, that laboratory was definitely not as important as the main area where the three heads of state were located. In order to prevent the Germans from returning, the Justice Alliance did not pursue the Germans.”

Liv and Elaine looked at each other and fell silent, worried about Catherine and her other companion.

“Elaine, you said that the Queen and the professor will be fine, right?” Little Red Riding Hood couldn’t help but ask her companion.

“Professor Catherine is much stronger than us. She will be fine!” Elaine curled her lips. “As for the Black Witch who always dresses up like a queen, she’s so cunning that nothing will happen to her!”

“Hehe, your relationship is still so bad. One thinks of himself as Snow White and the other as the black-hearted Queen!” Liv covered her mouth and laughed heartlessly.

“Tsk, who has anything to do with her! Eh, what’s going on here?” Elaine turned to look at the driveway outside the jeep halfway through.

As the jeep neared the museum, the road was filled with wounded American soldiers. Most of them lay on the masonry streets in strange positions and had lost their breath of life. The rest of the soldiers pressed down on their wounds and groaned in pain.

“Lieutenant Jonathan once said that we made great sacrifices near the museum.” The colonel pursed his lips tightly and secretly pinched his knuckles. “Last night, we attacked and killed nearly a hundred German Fort Onin Special Fort soldiers on the beach. Today, they returned ten times to us!”

“The German special forces are hiding in the shelling ruins. They are all archers, shooting at different places, leaving behind a corpse for every inch of our way. They also have special weapons that can pierce through tank armor. They seem to be miniature versions of Soviet rockets.” Lieutenant Jonathan said expressionlessly, “You can see the burning Sherman tanks up ahead!”

“They delayed the 101st Division for nearly half an hour. We were helpless and could only use heavy artillery to bombard every ruin of their hidden houses.” “Casablanca is no longer a city center,” said the colonel coolly. “The closest to the museum, you will find that you can’t even find a complete brick. Of course, there are no corpses!”

Liv and Elaine trembled. In this short city war, the two fairy tale girls seemed to have a new understanding of the war.

What the colonel said was that there were no corpses. Naturally, it did not mean that the enemy had escaped. Rather, under the intense bombardment, it was impossible to find a complete corpse. The flesh mixed with sand might not even be able to see the appearance of human organs.

“Elaine” Little Red Riding Hood turned to look at Elaine.

“En!” The white-haired girl’s eyes lit up and she pressed the jeep’s door. She jumped out of the jeep and rushed in the direction of the museum.

“Colonel, the jeep is too slow. Let’s go first!” Liv leapt up at the same time and pointed at the jeep’s front, chasing Elaine.

…

“Joey, do you want me to do it?” Grant’s military boots stepped onto the collapsed iron door and pointed at the black-haired girl in front of him.

“I’ll leave it to you. Take it as compensation for my previous rudeness!” Joey grinned as he walked towards the surrounding researchers with a blood-dripping parcel.

“Do you also have the concept of apologizing?” Grant curled his lips and stepped forward to greet the Black Queen.

Mira took off the knife on her back with a straight face. She didn’t pay any attention to Joey on the other side. She just stared at Grant in front of her, and an ominous premonition slowly developed in her heart.

“Da da da!” A series of gunshots rang out in the laboratory. The real scientists here had all been evacuated, leaving behind researchers from the Alliance Army. Most of them had received military training and were wearing one or two pistols.

“Hehe!” Joey licked his dry lips, lifted a heavy chair with one hand, and pounced on the researchers as a shield.

“I hate people in white coats. It reminds me of some very bad memories!”

The Evil Dagger in Joey’s hand danced like a butterfly. Any resistor who approached him would fall to the ground with their necks clutched in one or two faces. A pool of blood gathered on the ground and formed a stream. Blood splashed everywhere in the laboratory, as if it was stained with a layer of seductive blood.

“Run! Forget about the documents! Run! I can’t stop them by myself!” The black-haired girl shouted at the rest of the living people in the laboratory, but her movements were exceptionally agile. A black light flashed across the tip of the straight blade and swept past Grant’s shoulder.

Chi! Grant’s shoulders were splashed with blood, and a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes. He looked at the whip hanging at the feet of the black-haired girl, which had turned from a straight knife into a whip. He grinded his teeth and said, “It’s another whip-like weapon!”

“Have you seen whips from other superpowers? Dr. Jones?” Mira rolled her eyes and a serious expression appeared on her iceberg-cold face. “German, can I ask you a question? Since you’ve seen Dr. Jones, have you seen anyone …”

“Hehe, Catherine, right?” A strange look flashed across Grant’s face. “Who is that woman to you? Big sister, mother, or teacher?”

“Professor Catherine is my teacher!” Seeing Grant’s strange expression, an ominous feeling filled the girl’s heart.

“I’m sorry!” Grant suddenly revealed an elegant smile. “Since Green College has participated in the war, then we should be ready …”

“Shut up!” The girl’s shoulders trembled, and her face instantly lost its color. She immediately interrupted Grant’s words, “Stop, I don’t believe you!”

Grant spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped talking. The two of them froze in place for a moment. It wasn’t that the clown didn’t want to kill the Black Queen. On the contrary, because of Joey’s outstanding accomplishments, the clown’s desire to fight had never been so intense. However, because his injuries were too severe, he had no choice but to resort to delaying tactics.

He had to wait for Skorzny and the others to arrive, while Mira was covering for the researchers to evacuate. As for Joey, he was currently collecting documents from the laboratory. Apart from the white coats that were running towards the secret passageway in panic, the laboratory had fallen into a strange tacit understanding.

However, the tacit understanding was quickly broken by a reckless researcher. Seeing that Joey ignored them, the young military researcher gritted his teeth and threw himself towards the huge tank in the middle of the laboratory.

“Stop!” Mira’s expression changed drastically. Grant’s eyes lit up, and he took advantage of the moment the girl diverted her attention to rush forward.

On the other side, Joey, who had his back to the tank, had his blood-red eyes sliding strangely to the corners of his eyes. He was like a cunning poisonous snake, quietly staring at the young researcher in the dark.
