Lord of War

Chapter 401 Under the City

[Thank you, the God of Heaven, for coming to this set of monthly tickets for the two brothers! Xiaochen didn't want to repay, so he had to work hard to code words. By the way, he rolled brazenly and asked for a subscription~~~]

The fire in the direction of the square brighted Dr. Hiloh's eyes. He sighed and picked up some firewood from the storage warehouse and walked to the house. Entering the room, the doctor closed the door with his foot to block the cold wind outside.

The town has been under martial law for many days. Since those outsiders came to the town, Pavalić has changed dramatically. Overnight, Fred, the chairman of the Hunters Union, was imprisoned, the mayor Mensa and the escort were killed, and the town changed owners overnight. The mayor's throne fell into the hands of Sharon, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, but everyone knows that Sharon is just a dog under those outsiders. His name as mayor is not right.

However, under the powerful force of thousands of soldiers, no one dares to object.

Fortunately, the outsiders did not harass the citizens after issuing orders of martial law and curfew through Sharon, the puppet mayor. Most of the troops they brought stayed in the snowfield in the west of the town, and retreated into the silver frost forest in recent days. I don't know what they are hiding. This made the residents of the town talk a lot, and Dr. Hilo heard several rumors.

Dr. Shilo is one of the few doctors in the town. His medical skills are not necessarily very good, and the patients who come to his diagnosis usually only have minor ailment. But Dr. Hilo has a good temper, gentle personality and is willing to help others. This made him very popular in the town, so the small clinic he opened could be maintained.

But the recent martial law has made Dr. Hilo's income a little tight. If it goes on like this, he will soon have no money to buy food. However, there is a wife and three children to raise at home, and Dr. Shilo even considered whether to borrow money from a neighbor's friend to buy food and water. The cold winter is still very long, but I don't know how long the situation in the town will last.

While waiting for such a long time, something happened today that surprised Dr. Hilo and other residents in the town.

Bedith City actually sent two messengers, and it was rumored that they came from Pavalić.

When Dr. Hilo put the firewood by the fireplace, he happened to see his child lying out of the window looking in the direction of the square.

"Mary, let them down." Dr. Hilo called to the kitchen.

His wife Mary, a slightly fat woman, came out of the kitchen. Mary smiled gently at her husband and said, "Don't worry about them, honey. They are just curious, is there enough firewood? If it's not enough, I'll cut some back tomorrow."

The doctor's daily job is to walk around the clinic, and some trivial work at home is taken care of by his wife Mary. Over the years, Mary has not had a hard time. The doctor remembered that Mary was a young girl when she married her. But now, her hands have already given birth to acocoon.

Dr. Hilo shook his head and said, "No, if I don't have enough firewood, I will cut some by myself. Anyway, the clinic has been unable to operate recently, and it has been staying.

He said again, "You'd better let the children come down. I always feel that what's happening in the town now is not simple. Don't cause unnecessary trouble."

Mary nodded and walked to the window to pull the children away. Dr. Shilo threw pieces of firewood into the fireplace, and he tried to scatter them, so that there was enough space between them for the wood to be completely lit to provide enough heating in the house. The flame jumped, like a fire shining from the direction of the square. The messengers of the city of Betis were attending Sharon's banquet for them in the square, and Dr. Hilo listened to the people coming from the square that it was a tall and terrible monster.

The doctor's thoughts were flying, and an inspiration spark suddenly appeared in his mind. Dr. Hilo picked up a piece of firewood, but did not throw it into the fireplace. It suddenly occurred to him that the reason why outsiders stayed in Pavalić was because of the city of Betis?

At this time, the door was knocked. Hilo's heart jumped heavily, and the inexplicable panic almost made him want to escape from the back door. But as soon as he saw his frightened wife and the confused children, Dr. Hilo took a deep breath and walked to the door.

"Who?" Dr. Hilo shouted.

An old voice sounded outside the door: "Dr. Hilo? I'm Rob. Would you please open the door?

When the curtains were revealed, Dr. Hilo saw the shadow of the people outside the door and knew that Rob was not the only one. And this Rob, Hiro, is no stranger to him. He is the director and housekeeper of Sharon's Owl Company. Since Rob came to the door, something big must have happened.

However, Hilo just wants to live a plain life. After all, he knows that it is not necessarily a good thing for ordinary people like him to happen to him.

The door opened, and old Rob came in rudely. There were also several tough soldiers behind old Rob. These soldiers were expressionless, but there was a murderous intention in their eyes. Hilo knew that these people were troops brought by outsiders, and Pavalić's guards were neither strong nor had their deep murderous intention in the bone marrow.

"What can I do for you? Mr. Rob." Dr. Hilo asked in a calm tone.

Old Rob grinned and said, "Congratulations, Dr. Hilo. Something happened in our old neighbor City of Betis. It's a disease. These neighbors hope that we can send a doctor to them, and Mr. Sharon chose you. This time, you represent our whole Pavarić. What a glorious honor it is.

"No." Mary said in horror, "Why is it Hilo, Mr. Rob? Please tell Mr. Sharon that in terms of medical skills, the skills of doctors Jess and Madeira are still superior to my husband. They are more suitable people!"

"Madam, I'm just responsible for passing the message. As for why, it's not what I can know." Old Rob nodded to Mary and then said to Dr. Hilo, "Doctor, get ready. Also, in order to pay tribute to Dr. Hilo. On these days when you go to the city of Betis, your lady and your children will be taken care of by Mr. Sharon, and you don't have to worry about their food and clothing at all.

Hillo changed his mind and said, "Mr. Rob, I appreciate Mr. Sharon's kindness. As for the food and clothing of Mary and the children, I don't think Mr. Sharon should worry that they can live well by themselves.

Old Rob changed his face and said coldly, "Dr. Hilo, you just need to do what Mr. Sharon wants. As for how to do it, I don't think you need to tell me."

After saying that, old Rob looked at the soldiers behind him. Several soldiers immediately tightened the rifle in their hands and pushed Hilo with their muzzle. So in the children's panic, the Shilo family didn't even have time to have dinner, so they were invited out of the warm house and took a car to Sharon's villa.

Mary and the children were taken away by Sharon's servants, while Dr. Hilo followed old Rob to Sharon's study. Old Rob knocked on the door, but a woman's voice sounded inside the door: "Come in."

Old Rob opened the door and invited Dr. Hilo in. By now, Dr. Hilo can only bravely walk into the study. But I saw a beautiful woman sitting in Sharon's seat now, and the woman's whole body gave people a capable atmosphere and a faint majesty. This kind of majesty is a characteristic of talents who have been at the top for many years. So Hilo knew that the woman was the boss behind Sharon.

Old Rob said respectfully to this woman, "Dear Miss Beatrice, I have brought the person you want."

The woman named Beatrice nodded and waved her hand to let old Rob retreat. At this time, Hiro found that on the sofa on the other side of the study, a young man with an Asian face was quietly reading a book. Perhaps out of professional **, Shilo smelled a faint smell of blood on this man. Hilo's face became ugly, and there was usually this bloody smell, either the body that had just been killed or the person whose hands were stained with blood.

The person who made Hilo feel terrible, the man's expression when reading was so calm that it reminded Hilo that he must also have this calm face when he killed people.

Nothing is more terrible than a calm killer.

A light cough made Hilo divert his attention from zero and fell on the young woman who was playing with a golden pen in front of him.

Beatrice said lightly, "Dr. Shilo, you should know why she called you here. That's right, because you need to go to Bethes City to see what's wrong with our neighbors. I saw you at this time to persuade our good neighbor to transfer the patient to Pawarić no matter what you do.

"You are a good doctor and a good husband and a good father. I don't think you will refuse my request. Is that right?"

Dr. Hilo emphasized, "Dear lady, I will listen to whatever you want me to do. I just beg you to let Mary and my children go."

Beatrice smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will live better here than anyone else in town. As long as I see the patients in Betis City arriving at Pavaridge, they can not only go home, but also get a sum of money. A sum of money is enough for them to spend a long time.

In the face of absolute power, ordinary people's will cannot change the status quo no matter how strong they are. Like Dr. Hilo, in fact, he has no hope, and Beyonris's commitment to him has exceeded his expectations. If it's Sharon's words, Hilo believes that he still has to do what he wants, but he can't get any benefits.

Soon, Hilo went down and prepared for tomorrow's departure. Beatrice stretched out and looked at Zero, who was still reading quietly. She asked, "Do you know why I chose Hilo?"

"Isn't it obvious? You have already said that he is a good man. There is no turning back.

Beatrice smiled and said, "You're angry."

"No. I just can't understand why the beautiful side of human nature determines its value to be used and even sacrificed. In other words, kindness is not needed in this era. Does everyone have to give up good and follow evil to survive?

"It seems that you don't approve of me doing this. But as you know, if we use other methods, it will be a lot of effort, and now, there is no time in the city of Bidiz, and we don't have it either.

I closed the book and looked at Beyonris and said calmly, "Yes, I know. So I don't agree, but I don't object."

Bionis nodded: "Because the right to decide is mine, not yours."

"So my goal is more firm." Zero stood up and walked towards the gate: "Only when I become the superior will I also have the right to make decisions, won't I?"

The door closed, and there was only one Beatrice left in the study. Beyonris thought for a moment, smiled, shook her head and said, "Zero, in fact, what you said is not all right. This era does not need kindness, but if you want to support good, it needs more power than supporting evil. And as far as I am concerned, I don't have this power, and neither do you.

A room in the villa is dimly lit. Dr. Shilo looked at the children who slept after eating and drinking and gently kissed their young faces. This may be the last time he kissed these lovely children. Tomorrow, even Dr. Hilo himself knows that the chance of coming back is pitifully small. The speculation turned into reality, and the outsider really thought of the city of Bates, and then pushed it out that the noble woman and others were looking at the black gold rich in the city of Bates.

The battle of interests.

This is a game between superiors, but for ordinary people, it is a play of life and death. Dr. Hilo, who was at this moment, didn't want to leave, but he couldn't force it. Mary lay behind him, crying silently, and suppressed sadness flowed in this small room.

"Why don't we run away?" After crying, Mary whispered.

Dr. Hilo smiled gently and hugged his wife and said, "Don't be silly. We can't escape. Do what they say. In case I can't come back, you can continue to live and live better than now.

Mary shook her head and wanted to say something, but Dr. Hilo gagged her mouth with her hand: "Promise me, Mary. No matter what happens, even for our children. You should also take them to live hard, child, it is our future!"

Mary's eyes gushed into tears again, but this time, she used all her strength to focus on her head.

The next morning, Dr. Hilo walked out of Sharon's villa. A six-legged horse has been prepared for Dr. Hilo, and it will be the doctor's mount to the city of Betis. The giant Huo Xian had already walked back and forth impatiently at the gate. He couldn't wait to catch this little human doctor and rush back to Betis City, but Huo Xian knew that with the thin body of ordinary human beings, it could not withstand it to run all the way, so Huo Xian only hoped that the mute horse in front of him could run fast enough.

Hiro was sent to the door by Sharon and others. For the town, this is already the highest specification farewell ceremony. Shilo has seen Huo Xian like a monster. If it is usual, he will definitely scare Huo Xian and the combination of lobster half to death. But now, he is very calm.

He even turned around, waved his wife and children on the edge of the corridor, and then rode on a six-legged horse with the help of his servants.

A quarter of an hour later, Dr. Hilo left the town and followed Huo Xian towards the vast snowfield. He turned around and took a deep look at the outline of the town behind him, hoping to put it deep in his heart. Because the doctor knows that he may not be able to come back.
