1643 The Last Time
In a house in Senas City, a seventeen-year-old boy took out the kettle next to him, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip.
It wasn't water, it was liquor.
Bad, tobacco-infused liquor.
Marillo's tobacco is very famous around the world, especially the tobacco grown in the extreme environmental conditions of this subarctic zone.
Its plant base content is several times that of tobacco from other regions. In addition to its special variety, the chemical structure of the nicotine extracted from it is slightly different.
It is easier for people to get drunk and feel dizzy. This is why the words "Don't inhale it into the lungs" are always written on the 100% pure tobacco leaves of Cleve!
They are really afraid that someone will try this for the first time. If they encounter danger, according to the principles of federal law, the seller will definitely be the first defendant!
But this is Marillo, no one cares!
In Marillo, people call this cheap, tobacco-infused drink "fist," meaning that taking a sip is like being punched in the head.
Alcohol, nicotine, double the happiness!
It was obviously not the first time for the young man to drink such a special wine. He did not drink a lot in one go, but took a small sip in his mouth.
Just by holding it in his mouth, the heat of the alcohol began to stimulate his mouth. At the same time, the nicotine began to accelerate through the mucosa, acting directly on the blood and stimulating a wonderful chemical reaction.
This made him a little tipsy, as if he had drunk a little too much, and he was still conscious, but a little dizzy.
Then, he swallowed the rest of the wine. After entering the lungs, the alcohol began to work more quickly, hitting the brain together with the remaining nicotine!
The happiness after dizziness was something he couldn't refuse. He sat against the wall and squinted his eyes slightly.
Even when bullets whizzed past his head, he didn't feel the slightest bit frightened.
With a smile on his face, he rubbed his nose lazily and took a deep breath.
So comfortable!
he thought to himself.
At this moment he forgot all his dissatisfaction, and he even had some hallucinations.
He actually has family, and his family is already living in the south, and they should have started a stable life.
The first person to appear in his hallucination was his father.
His father was not a good father in the strict sense. He was domineering and unreasonable that is typical of fathers in most poor areas.
In fact, it’s not his fault, or it’s not their fault.
If they don't act fierce and show dominance over the family, eventually the children will gradually lose control in the process of questioning his incompetence!
They are unwilling to admit that they are incompetent, and they do not want these children to escape their control, so the only thing they can do is to turn themselves into a nightmare for their children!
The boy never went to school, and he remembers starting working for the family when he was a teenager.
He was busy farming, or working part-time with his father, but he never got any money.
He does not need to be paid to work for his family, and his father will not pay him.
When he went out to work as a laborer, his salary went directly into his father's pocket, and that man would not give him any money.
He is illiterate, never went to school, and has been working since he was a child. This is the life of almost 95% of Marillo people in this era!
The struggle between survival and survival is a waste of time.
Until the man tried to rape his sister, the man's own daughter, under the influence of alcohol, he stood up and tore the fool's neck open with a wheat-cutting sickle.
So the image of his "father" standing in front of him at this moment is a little unsettling, with his head in his hands.
Where the head should have been, there was now nothing.
The second person to appear was his mother, an ordinary, ordinary Marillo woman who was no different from anyone else.
Facing her husband's violence and cheating, she had no choice but to endure it. She knew that her husband would sometimes spend some money to find women from nearby to change his life.
Many Marillo women do this kind of work as adults, and as long as they are paid, they and their husbands don't mind who takes up a little of the woman's time.
She never dared to say a word in the face of her husband's various shameless and bad behaviors. Even once, her husband wanted to relax with a woman who was dragged in from the street. She was kicked out, but only outside the door. Sit still.
Perhaps what impressed her most deeply on the boy was that she actively tried to shoulder these responsibilities for the first time after he killed his father.
In fact, they are all too nervous. In a chaotic Marillo, people die inexplicably every day. Who would pay so much attention to others?
They buried the man behind the house, and then told the public that the man who owned the house had run away with a young woman, and everyone believed it.
No one said they wanted to find out the truth, and no one wanted to do anything for the missing gentleman.
Everyone just acquiesced in the theory that he was missing, which made the mother and son breathe a sigh of relief.
The third person who appeared in front of him was his sister, and he still can't forget that summer.
She was lying on the floor near the yard—
Since the weather in Marillo is relatively cold, especially in winter, all the houses are located some distance from the ground.
This is to prevent the house from turning into an ice cellar in late winter due to its close contact with the ground.
So in summer, the "ground" of almost every household is higher than the real ground.
That summer, she was lying on the floor in the yard, with a snow-white thigh swinging back and forth outside the floor.
The clothes he and his brother wore had been washed white and even a little shabby.
But she didn't seem to realize this. The dazzling white skin made him unable to open his eyes, and he couldn't bear to close them.
As for his brother
There was no him in the hallucination. He suddenly disappeared one day and was never found again.
They tried to look for it, but found nothing.
Some say he is dead.
Some say he was used as food by ogres.
Some people also say that he couldn't stand poverty and secretly ran away to the Federation.
Rumors such as working for a warlord are not uncommon. If a child goes missing in Marillo, there will definitely be these rumors.
Some people think they are just rumors, but others think that maybe the truth is hidden in them.
These hallucinations all appeared in front of him. Sometimes he became powerful, sometimes rich, and sometimes he was filled with manic desire for destruction!
He suddenly turned around, reached out and grabbed the rifle in his hand. His father, standing next to him, pointed in the distance and roared something loudly, maybe cursing, but he couldn't hear it.
His mother sat quietly on the side, looking at him with a smile, saying the same inaudible words, but he knew that she was praying for herself.
His sister was lying on top of him, and he could feel two masses pressing on his back.
This wonderful touch reminded him vaguely of something, that same midsummer evening when his younger brother looked at him in horror.
And he threw the child who had always trusted him into the well.
Behind him, his sister, who was barely wearing any clothes, ran over holding a big stone and threw it towards the mouth of the well, while his mother was watching all this happening not far away.
The gunshot rang out, and he suddenly felt a sense of complete relief and complete liberation. He raised his head and looked at the blood and bone fragments flying in the air, and he seemed to realize something.
But he was not afraid at all.
Because his family is waiting for him!
Wait until he goes to find his brother
"pretty!"
More than three hundred meters away, the observer gave the sniper a "good job" gesture. In his telescope, a target had been completely eliminated.
The boy stood up suddenly. If he hadn't made such a big move, he wouldn't have noticed the window at all!
The most terrifying thing in urban warfare is always when someone suddenly appears behind a window that you didn't expect, and then points at you with a weapon that can cause fatal injuries to you!
This guy was so stupid. He got up at the wrong time and too much.
Even if your eyesight is not very good, if something suddenly moves, it will still be very eye-catching in such a big environment.
The sniper bared his teeth and smiled. He held a carbon rod and added another stroke on a small notebook.
From the beginning of the war to now, most people have become numb.
What you have to do every day is either killing or being killed.
At first, everyone was very uncomfortable with it, especially since those who launch suicide attacks are often women and children.
Even if they realized that what was coming towards them might be a moving bomb, it would be difficult for them to pull the trigger directly.
This was also the stage with the heaviest casualties for the federal army. It was not until many comrades lost their lives and the lives of others because of a moment of soft-heartedness that this stupid momentum was curbed!
No matter the person standing up is an old man, a woman, a teenager or even a child.
At this moment, on the battlefield, no one will show mercy!
Especially after they have been hurt!
Neither of them took this matter seriously. A young man who drank too much ended his life completely during his heroic turn.
There are actually not a few people like him. Many young people either have miserable family environments or were shocked by the president's personality when he committed suicide.
These people mistakenly believe that they can save the world, but in fact they can't save anyone!
You can’t even save yourself!
They will just become a corpse, one of a series of numbers in some history book, nothing more!
As the Senas anti-aircraft shells were exhausted, Federal aircraft began to close in on the city and began bombing.
This was the first bombing on the head of the rebels. The bomb was thrown out like it was free, dropped in the city, and then watched it turn into a column of smoke.
