The world seemed to be in chaos overnight.

The sudden war swept through hundreds of countries, and international conventions were completely torn up. Powerful countries crossed national borders wantonly, invaded neighboring small countries without warning, and launched a blitzkrieg without mercy.

There are different opinions on the root cause of the outbreak of the war. The most common one is that the arrival of an interstellar civilization brought knowledge that subverted the world. But other than that, the public does not know any details.

The attitude of more than a dozen powerful countries in starting the war was so resolute, as if they wanted to break an old era and shuffle the cards without breaking or establishing.

Within a few months, a total of sixteen small countries perished, and countless people on Aquamarine became war refugees. Some were displaced, and some were taken over by enemy armies and centralized management.

As a small country, bordering on Ruilan, a powerful neighbor, Golan did not have much opportunity to choose its fate. Faced with Ruilan's all-out military campaign, Golan was completely defeated within a few months and lost all its organizational status.

The armed forces were allowed to be brutally ravaged by Ruilan.

The city is devastated, with charred ruins of buildings everywhere, deep craters blown into the ground, black smoke still rising into the sky in some places, and sporadic gunshots ring out from time to time.

Unkempt and ragged Golan refugees were wandering among the ruins, huddled together in twos and threes, some with numb expressions, like walking corpses, and some with constricted pupils, like frightened birds.

Sean followed a group of refugees in search of supplies in the ruins. He struggled to move his body. His whole body was covered in dust and mud. He had not washed himself for many days. He was dirty and slovenly. He was as skinny as a stick, with sunken eye sockets. He was extremely haggard and looked numb.

Ruilan's invasion came without warning. After clearing the ground with firepower, ground troops were sent in to annihilate Gelan's armed forces step by step.

During this period, the importance of resettling Golan refugees was not high. The refugee camp had a capacity limit. Ruilan's troops spent most of their energy on clearing out the resistance forces. They only blocked the city and did not have much energy to shelter all the refugees.

, at most, they can occasionally airdrop some supplies, allowing a large number of Golan refugees to survive in the blocked city.

The city suffered initial rounds of bombings. Sean was lucky to survive. However, he had long been separated from Mag and others in the chaos. During these days, he could only work together with another group of refugees, looking for supplies in the ruins, or

When Ruilan airdropped aid, he fought with other refugees, like a walking zombie, just trying to survive one day at a time.

But during these days, countless refugees have searched the city over and over again, and almost no supplies can be found in the ruins. Survival has become increasingly difficult, approaching the limit. Sean and others are walking among the ruins, everywhere

It can be seen that most of the corpses of Golan refugees who died of hunger, thirst, and illness died in the past few days.

After looking through several ruins, but still with no results, Sean was so hungry that he sat down against the wall and gasped for air. He felt that his body was extremely heavy, as if he was about to sink into the soil.

"Are you okay? Can you continue to look for supplies?"

Boll who was standing aside saw him sitting down, so he leaned over and asked breathlessly.

He is Sean's new friend in this homeless gang. During these days, they have taken care of each other and become familiar with each other.

"I'm so hungry... I have no energy..." Sean made a hoarse voice with his thirsty throat almost on fire.

"Hurry up, otherwise if someone else finds something, they won't share it with you."

Bol went to grab Sean's arm, but he was exhausted. With a pull, his body tilted and fell to the ground. He gasped for air, and his breath blew away a small piece of dust.

"Let me slow down, I'm very hungry too..."

Bol didn't have the strength to get up, so he simply arched a few times and leaned against the wall, leaning sideways on Sean.

Sean staggered and almost fell over, but he didn't have the strength to push the other person away, so he could only close his eyes and self-hypnotize himself to relieve his hunger.

At this time, Bol suddenly spoke in a low and disappointed tone:

"Sean, do you think our army can still come to rescue us?"

"Definitely." Sean opened his eyes with difficulty, his voice was weak but firm.

"It's been so long, do you really believe it?" Bol gasped and said hoarsely: "Ruilan is coming fiercely, and Gelan has already been overwhelmed. How can he have time to save us? Instead of expecting Gelan to send troops to rescue us, why not

I hope Ruilan will take in the refugees on a large scale, so that we can at least survive..."

Sean gritted his teeth: "How can you expect the enemy... When I met other refugees before, didn't they say that Rui Lan was purging refugees? Occasionally, they would send ground troops to capture a group of refugees in the city. Some people said that they had seen Rui Lan.

Busloads of corpses are being transported out of the Lan refugee camp for cremation, who knows what the situation is."

Boer was weak: "As long as you can give me a bite of food, I can do whatever I want..."

At this moment, there was a faint noise not far away, and fellow refugees who were searching the ruins with Sean and others gathered around, as if something had happened.

Several fellow refugees who were in a slightly better condition came to the two of them, pulled Sean and Bol up, and asked.

"How's it going? Can I still leave?"

"It's okay..." Sean shook a little, supported the wall, and asked doubtfully: "What's going on over there?"

"We met another group of refugees, so we all went over to prevent others from trying to rob us of our supplies."

Several people answered and rushed over with Sean and Boer in their arms.

There are too many refugee groups lingering in the city. Most of the refugee groups help each other to prevent being robbed by others. Even if everyone is the same refugee, some people can't live anymore and they don't care about others who are on the verge of death.

They will not let go of any life-saving straw, snatching each other, and killing each other are not uncommon.

Sean and others quickly came to the back of the crowd, and saw another small group of refugees on the opposite side, equally skinny and haggard. The two sides were confronting each other, looking at each other warily, and in the middle of the two groups were their respective groups.

Several of the more prestigious representatives here are getting together to negotiate.

Sean glanced across the way and was suddenly stunned, with a look of astonishment on his face.

In another wave of refugee gangs, he suddenly saw the figures of Ma Ge and several other buddies. Although they were ragged, he recognized them at a glance.

During the days of hiding in Tibet, there was not a day when Sean didn't miss his few lost buddies. Because the ruins of the city were too big and various communication signals were blocked by Ruilan, the search was always fruitless. He was always worried about Ma

Ge and others encountered an unexpected incident. Unexpectedly, they met by chance today and they were not in trouble.

"Mag... Mag!"

Sean was so surprised that he didn't care about anything else. He raised his arms and called Mag's name in a hoarse voice.

Because of his physical weakness, he couldn't shout too loudly, but he still attracted some people's attention.

Mag's ears not far away from the opposite side twitched and he cast his eyes in confusion, looking for who was calling his name.

But at this moment, the harsh engine roar suddenly sounded, from far to near.

“Thud, tug, tug, tug—”

I saw an armed convoy of Ruilan running rampant on the badly damaged streets of the city, heading straight towards this direction, and seemed to have locked its position.

"Rui Lan!"

"Run quickly!"

The two refugee gangs were so frightened that they fled in panic and dispersed.

Sean's voice was immediately covered up by the commotion. Ma Ge and other buddies didn't see him, so they turned around and ran away. Although Sean wanted to chase him, he panicked when he saw the Ruilan convoy approaching quickly, so he could only follow him.

They fled together with the neighboring refugee gangs.

At this moment, the Ruilan convoy came over in a mighty manner, and groups of heavily armed Ruilan soldiers got out of the car and chased each refugee separately.

At the same time, the armed convoy turned on the loudspeaker and shouted in a deep voice towards the fleeing refugees:

"Stop running away, stop resisting, we will take you to the refugee camp. As long as you obey, Ruilan will provide supplies to ensure your survival!"

Some refugees had had enough of this kind of life and had already reached their limit. After hearing this, they felt discouraged and simply fell to the ground weakly. They stopped running and allowed themselves to be held down by the Ruilan soldiers who were chasing after them.

There were also some refugees who did not believe Ruilan and continued to run wildly. However, their bodies were exhausted and they could not outrun Ruilan's soldiers. They fell to the ground one after another like being caught by rabbits, unable to struggle.

Taking advantage of the refugees behind to delay Ruilan's soldiers, Sean almost tried his best to run into the ruins, but his body had reached its limit. He knew that there was absolutely no way to escape if he continued running like this.

Suddenly, I saw a gap in my head made of broken building blocks. I simply picked one and crawled in, praying that I could avoid it.

When Bol, who was following behind, saw Sean's actions, he imitated the situation in panic and quickly hid in the gaps in the ruins of the building.

Sean only showed half of his face, looking at the situation outside in shock, watching the refugees outside being knocked down one by one. Some struggled too fiercely and were knocked unconscious by Ruilan soldiers.

As his eyes moved, Sean suddenly saw the figures of Ma Ge and other best friends.

I saw that Mager and others were eventually caught up. Several Ruilan soldiers caught up and hit Mager and others on the cheeks with their rifle butts, knocking them to the ground and quickly subduing them.

Sean was scared and anxious, and wanted to think of a way to save people, but his brain was in chaos and he had no clue. He looked at the heavily armed Ruilan soldiers, fear seized his heart, his legs trembled, and he never took a step forward.

He didn't have the courage to do so, but instead he shrank deeper into the gap, not daring to let out his breath.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his buddies, whose faces were covered in blood, were dragged into the car like dogs by Ruilan soldiers, leaving several winding traces of blood on the ground.

Sean's lips turned white and he was trembling.

There has never been a moment when he hated his weak self so much that he couldn't do anything.

Not long after, the refugees who had no time to hide outside were caught by Ruilan soldiers. Soon a group of soldiers with weapons raised came to search here.

Sean couldn't care less about worrying about others and subconsciously covered his mouth, not daring to take a deep breath.

At this moment, Bol, who was also hiding in the gap not far away, took the initiative to come out with his hands raised, trembling all over, and fell to his knees on the ground, with an expression on his face mixed with fear, uneasiness, and hope.

"I...I won't resist!"

Soldier Ruilan went up to control Boer without saying anything, and his actions were rough.

Bol felt pain and subconsciously turned his head to look at where Sean was hiding.

Sean was stunned. Before he could react, footsteps outside quickly approached. A big hand suddenly reached into the gap, grabbed his clothes, and pulled hard.

He simply couldn't resist the strength of Ruilan's soldiers, and fell out with a plop. His clothes were still held by strong arms. He was so frightened that his feet stared wildly, like a flapping fish, and he struggled subconsciously.

But at this moment, another Ruilan soldier quickly stepped forward, and the butt of his gun quickly enlarged in Sean's eyes.

Boom!

Sean's vision went dark and he lost consciousness instantly.
