Chapter 37 Mass Burials

When Yuri finally kicked open the door, Terkina had passed out. Yuri picked her up and laid her flat on the bed. The two big men didn't know what to do with the fainted woman, so they could only wait by the side. After about half an hour, Terkina gradually woke up. come over.

"An~~ Anton!" With a soft call, a tear flowed from the corner of Terkina's eyes, and it slid down her delicate cheeks onto the pillow. Seryozha felt a little depressed. Taking care of Terkina in the house, he left the room by himself, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and then lit the cigarette. With a puff of smoke, Seryozha finally felt his chest relax a little.

A few days later, with another reward offered by Sergei, he contacted the group who killed Anton through his guide.

"Aren't you reporters? Why do you want that guy's body?" The murderer who killed Anton on the other side of the phone asked suspiciously.

"Oh! That's right, sir. As journalists, we must remain neutral. Only by reporting the different positions of the two parties without any prejudice and objectively restoring the truth of the matter can we make a wonderful report!" Sergey Sha Coaxing each other with nerdy words in English.

"What does that have to do with you wanting his body?" The murderer's tone lacked vigilance, but more confusion.

"We took the pilot's body back to the Soviet authorities, and we will report their reactions at that time. Don't worry, sir. As the aggressors, they should be the ones to blame. We will raise sharp questions to them in front of the camera. We will ask them how they feel about sending such a young man to the battlefield, and we will also interview his parents, relatives and comrades-in-arms. Only when the viewpoints of many parties gather together, this is a report that is enough to cause a sensation in the world!" Seryozha continued to rack his brains for nonsense, even though he wanted to get out from the other side of the phone and tear the other party apart.

"So, I also have the opportunity to be interviewed?" The murderer on the opposite side seemed very interested. Not only did he dispel all doubts, but he was also interested in being interviewed.

"Of course, sir, is it really possible? Please rest assured that we will put a mosaic on your face, so that the Soviets will not recognize you!" Seryozha pretended to be excited and said.

"I don't want any mosaics! I just want the Soviets to know that our fighters are fearless!" the murderer said sternly.

"Of course sir, that's great, but we still have to find the body of the invader first. Can you tell me where you buried him?" Seryozha suppressed his anxiety and continued asked.

"This is difficult. I threw him into a mass grave outside the town!" the murderer said in embarrassment.

Seryozha covered the microphone, turned to the guide beside him, and asked softly, "Do you know where the mass grave is?" The guide nodded, and Seryozha replied, "It's okay sir, we can go there by ourselves." Look, I want to know when you have time to accept our interview?" Seryozha was still trying his best to coax the other party.

The other party was silent for a while, and then replied: "I will think about it and answer you when the time comes, but I accepted your interview and told you where that guy's body is. What benefits can I get?"

"Please don't worry, we can give you 10,000 U.S. dollars as a reward when the matter is settled!" Serezha carefully said a number.

"Alright then! The day after tomorrow! I'll tell you the location then!" The other party finally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Seryozha immediately gave the guide another $1,000 reward, and the two returned to the hotel. Seryozha knocked on the door of Terkina's room, and it was Yuri who opened the door. Last night Terkina probably had a high fever due to excessive grief and exhaustion from the journey. It was Yuri who had been taking care of her in the room.

"Well, is it better?" Seryozha asked as soon as he entered.

"The fever is gone, and the whole person has no energy! Where do you have any news?" Yuri asked with concern.

"The other party took the bait. Anton's body is in a mass grave outside the city. I plan to go there and look for it!" Seryozha replied.

"Take me with you!" Terkina struggled to sit up on the bed.

"No! You are still sick!" Yuri resolutely refused.

"No, you don't recognize his body at all, only I know him, and I know him!" Terkina made an irrefutable excuse, and Seryozha was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

The three of them left the hotel and went out of the city under the guidance of the guide. They were still far away from the mass grave when they smelled a disgusting smell. The closer the distance, the stronger the smell, until finally we came to the mass grave. Seryozha, Yuri, and the tour guide couldn't hold it any longer, and they vomited out in disgust.

This is a small canyon. Standing on the edge of the cliff, Seryozha looked down. Countless corpses were thrown below. In addition to the hot weather, the smell was unbearable. The closer to the fly, the more flies there were. unclear. Seryozha quickly took out a handkerchief and tied it around his mouth, otherwise he might swallow flies when he spoke.

"Why are there so many dead bodies?" Seryozha asked the guide.

"As long as people die in the town and no one claims them, they will be thrown here!" the guide said while covering his mouth.

While the two were talking, Terkina had already stepped out of the car, and before Yuri could react, she had rushed down a gentle slope down the canyon, seemingly unaffected by any smell or flies. When she came to the bottom of the canyon, she turned over the corpse with her bare hands, with an anxious and helpless expression flashing on her face.

Seryozha and Yuri didn't hesitate any more when they saw this, they hurried down to help, and even the guide came down to help everyone. There were too many dead people, and Seriosha swore that he had never seen such a disgusting and terrifying scene in his life. He didn't dare to turn over the corpses like Terkina did, and many corpses came closer, and the disgusting situation was really indescribable.

Yuri followed Terkina and helped him remove the dead people who were pressed together. Seryozha felt a burst of shame when he saw them. He resisted the feeling of nausea and began to push the dead people away with his hands.

Terkina became more and more desperate, and helplessly wiped away her sweat and tears with the hands that had touched the dead man. Just then, Yuri and the guide moved away a dead body, with a pilot's helmet underneath.

"Terkina!" Yuri called, pointing at the helmet.

Terkina rushed over like a cheetah, anxiously searching the surroundings, and it paid off. Under a pile of corpses, a headless male corpse in a Soviet pilot's training uniform was found. Anton's head was also found not far away.

"Ah~~!" Terkina hugged Anton's head and wept bitterly. The miserable roar made the listener cry and the listener sad.

"Boom!" Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, and the ruthless pouring rain quickly poured down, hitting a woman who lost her lover, two men who lost their comrades in arms, and a kind guide. (To be continued.)
