Swallowing the Seas

click!

Wu Yu's movements were clean and neat, and he straightened the security officer's jaw with one hand. The severe pain caused the man to roll all over the floor, and almost broke free from Bu Chonghua's restraint.

"#￥%*￥&..." He drooled all over the place and managed to compose the syllables after a while, but was interrupted by Bu Chonghua's stern voice: "How many people in your village believe in this religion?"

"Is it, is it, is it Luosao..."

Wu Yu: "He said not much."

Bu Chonghua exerted force with his hand: "Speak clearly!"

The chief of security was strangled and rolled his eyes: "Sister, how many sisters are there! How many sisters are there!"

Wu Yu: "He said quite a lot."

Bu Chonghua said, "I don't need a translator for this." Then he asked sharply, "Are Gao Wei, Xiong Jinzhi and his wife the leaders of your company?"

"Four four four... Four drops, they are the leader of the Lidi group, and we are the leader of the group..."

"Who is 'Teacher Ba'?!"

"I don't know the way, Zengdi doesn't know the way, I'm Zi four small platoon leaders..."

"The Church of Almighty God has several 'pastoral districts'. Below the pastoral districts are provinces, districts, churches, groups, platoons, and sites. A platoon has about 20 people. Together, several groups form the church." Bu Chonghua told Wu Yu said softly: "This kind of cult spreads like a plague. If a family enters and half of the village falls, it's probably the same here."

Wu Yu asked, "What should we do now?"

"Go back to the car first, and then drive out. It's not safe in the village at night."

Wu Yu nodded, and Bu Chonghua grabbed the security director's neck and pulled him up from the ground, saying in a low voice, "I'll take you out from here now, and if you dare to make a noise, I'll kill you on the spot. I'm the higher-level public security organ, You don’t have to be responsible for killing you, if you don’t believe me, try it!”

The chief of security saw the dagger dangling in his hand, and immediately peed in fright, nodding his head hastily.

Bu Chonghua pushed him: "Go!"

The chief of public security went to open the door tremblingly. At this moment, Bu Chonghua's arm tightened, and Wu Yu suddenly held it down:

"and many more."

When the night falls, the stars and the moon have not yet risen, and there are no neon lights in the dark nights in rural areas, it is true that you can't see your fingers.In the darkness, there was only the bunch of flashlights slanting against the corner of the room. In the faint light and shadow, Wu Yu was staring straight at Bu Chonghua, his eyes were terribly dark.

Bu Chonghua's eyebrows twitched: "What?"

"...you didn't smell it?"

"Smell what?"

Wu Yu's lips seemed to be trembling slightly, and he turned around the room quickly, his eyes swept across the aluminum alloy windows with anti-theft nets on the south wall, the bathroom, and the corner of the stairs, and finally spit out two words:

"gasoline."

gasoline?

Bu Chonghua took two breaths, the night air in the countryside was mixed with grass, trees and soil, and there was clearly nothing unusual.Before he had time to distinguish carefully, the chief security officer turned his head from the gate and stammered:

"Government, this door can't be opened..."

There is no anti-theft lock on this door, and the most primitive and safest iron chain and bullet lock are hung on the outside, but it has been picked open just now.Bu Chonghua pushed the security officer away, stretched out his hand and pulled the door, but it didn't move at all; he realized that something was wrong, and immediately kicked the door heavily, the heavy solid wooden door slammed, and there was a sound of metal tension—— He was chained to death from the outside!

How can it be?

beep - beep - beep -

At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly exploded outside the window, there are people outside!

"How many people know we're here?!"

The chief of security was really scared to pee: "No one! No one! I didn't even have time to say it!"

No one knew they were coming, who was that person who locked the door and whistled outside, and what did he want to do? !

Di-di-di-!

The whistle was like a talisman in the dark night, one after another, one after another, and the sound hit the most fearful nerves hard.The lights in the distant village came on one after another, and people barked and barked. In this chaos, Bu Chonghua finally heard the most ominous sound that he least wanted to hear——

Whoa!

Whoa!

The strong smell of gasoline wafted into the nose from every window lattice and every inch of brick cracks. Immediately after the whistle stopped, two seconds later, a flame pierced the night from outside the window, reflected in Bu Chonghua's incredible pupils——

boom!

The raging flames shot up from the four walls to the sky!

When I was nine years old, the bloody night fell from the void, gunshots, shouts, blood, crying, mixed into thousands of hysterical notes, tearing the eardrums, and like countless pairs of bloody hands stretching out from the soil, grabbing Hold his feet, wrap around his legs, and drag his bloody body to the ground.

Bu Chonghua gasped violently, took two steps reluctantly, and let go of his hands—Ding Dang!

The dagger fell to the ground, but he didn't seem to notice it.

He seemed to shrink in an instant, and was trapped back into the closet by an invisible cage. Through the gap in the closet door, he saw the tragedy reenactment within a short distance, and heard the child's screaming to the extreme: "Daddy! Mommy!"

The muzzle of the gun had already reached his mother's head.

"Please tell—say—"

Hold the trigger with one finger.

"Please tell me—!"

The screams, painful roars, and wailing that had no chance to utter back then turned into countless steel claws scratching bloody in his chest, but he couldn't make any sound, he could only watch the finger pull the trigger——

boom!

boom!

The wooden chair smashed against the door, but the thick door only shook dangerously a few times.Wu Yu picked up another chair and slammed it on the door, with a few crackling sounds, large pieces of sawdust mixed with wall dust, and sprinkled all over the floor like rain.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the chief of public security screamed wildly in the black smoke. The place where the crack is heavy is a few feet.Bang!Bang!The door panel continued to collapse and bend under the pressure, and finally there was another crash, and a hole was kicked through!

Wu Yu pulled out half of his own foot from the hole, brought out a splash of sawdust, turned around and rushed into the bathroom, grabbed a towel and poured water on it, wrapped it neatly around his thin and strong left hand, went back to the door and pulled the handle from the hole. Stretching out of the hole, he groped, trying to undo the chains that wound round and round the outer latch.

But it was already too late. The flame assisted by gasoline quickly spread to the entire outer wall. Although it hadn't reached the gate, the temperature of the metal chain had already risen to a very high level. Wu Yu only had time to untie the first circle of the chain. I was scalded with a bang!

"...!"

Wu Yu withdrew his hand, quickly untied the towel, looked at his palm, and cursed silently.

At this time, the fire had already fully ignited, and the temperature in the room rose sharply, causing people's skin to tingle. Black smoke billowed and filled the first floor, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly.Wu Yu walked around in a circle, his sharp eyes fixed on several directions like lightning, and pushed the security director, who couldn't hold back his crazily coughing, to the stairs, shouting: "Run!"

The chief of security couldn't stand up at all, his face was distorted by fear and despair in the surrounding firelight: "Help, help, I can't run..."

"Upstairs! Quick!"

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, cough cough & *￥%..."

"quick!!"

"Help, help—"

Despite the high temperature and lack of oxygen around, Bu Chonghua seemed to be frozen, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were immersed in the ice sea, and he could only hear children crying from the abyss under his feet, the heart-piercing resentment was so familiar —I can't run.

I can't run.

Because my mom and dad are still here, I can't run away—

In the next second, Wu Yu, who was covered in a mess, was reflected in his pupils, and he picked up the collar of the security director and slapped him in the face!

Snapped!

That slap came through the air, and slapped heavily on the face of the crying child curled up in the flames and blood.

"You won't die!" Wu Yu's roar 20 years later overlapped with that of the boy in the middle of the night 20 years ago, and even the tearing ending sound was exactly the same: "Run, run!!"

"Are we going to be overtaken? Are we going to die?"

"...No, to live..."

"What to do, we are going to die, we are going to die! What to do?!"

"Run, to survive..."

No matter what happens, you have to live, you have everything if you live, and you can get revenge if you live!

The tongue of fire licked at his side, and Bu Chonghua felt the hot sting again on his cheek—it was the bloody palm of the young man in the void, wiping away his tears forcefully, penetrating his bone marrow from then on, and branding a never-ending scar in the depths of his soul. An obliterated imprint.

"...Come with me," Bu Chonghua gasped and grabbed Wu Yu's hand, "Come with me, come here...quick!"

Wu Yu looked up hurriedly, only to see Bu Chonghua staggering up to the second floor as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.The wall was already on fire, and it was impossible to tell the difference between south, east and north in the deadly smoke. Bu Chonghua pushed open the door of the master bedroom with his shoulder only based on the memory of being in the dark on the second floor just now, and the distorted firelight outside the glass window reflected his face. It's not like a human being.

Glass windows!

Only in the bathroom connected to the master bedroom, there is a window without an anti-theft net!

With the hope of life imminent, the security director's knees softened, and he almost lost his strength and fell to his knees. Bu Chonghua picked him up with one hand and pushed him into the master bedroom.But at this critical moment, suddenly there were several loud bangs, and the burning wooden beams in the north corner of the master bedroom collapsed, and black smoke burst out instantly, sparks splashed, and the hot air current pushed them all out!

"Ahhh-"

The security officer bumped into Wu Yu who was behind him, and both of them smashed into the cracked wall. Wu Yu had no choice but to act as a meat pad, and was so painful that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Are you okay?!" Bu Chonghua rushed forward and shouted.

Wu Yu's pale face was reddened by the flames, he shook his head and pushed the screaming security officer: "Quick!"

The poor security chief has never seen this scene in most of his life. It is true that he can't even stand up. Bu Chonghua dragged him along the ground like a bag, and rushed into the burning master bedroom. Pedal on broken glass: "Jump!"

"Help, mom, I dare not, I dare not..."

The security director waved his hands wildly, and in the next second his body flew into the air, and was thrown out of the window by Bu Chonghua!

"Ah—" There was a heavy plop, and the unlucky ghost fell into the black smoke in the front yard, and the screaming stopped immediately, and was replaced by an embarrassing ouch, probably because he sprained his ankle.

"Wu Yu!" Bu Chonghua roared back.

But there was no one in the master bedroom where the flames were jumping.

"Wu Yu!"

Bu Chonghua covered his mouth and choked, and rushed out of the room stepping on the flames bursting out of the floor, and caught a glimpse of the silhouette under the wall in front of him in an instant, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by invisible hands.

Wu Yu sat bowed by the wall, covered his mouth with a wet towel in one hand, and spread his hand weakly by his side.His bloody palm was facing upwards, and the blood dripped from the nails, leaving criss-cross marks between the slender fingers.

Obviously not like that, but Bu Chonghua suddenly had some kind of absurd illusion.

It was as if he was just a phantom in the sea of ​​hellfire, never really existed, and might disappear in an instant at any time.

"How are you? Are you injured?!"

Bu Chonghua half-kneeled beside him, but Wu Yu shook his head and stuffed his wet towel to him: "I'm fine, jump quickly, you might explode later."

"What? Get up!"

"I'll just take a break, and in 2 minutes I'll..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Come with me!" Bu Chonghua almost roared angrily, "Quick!"

"..."

Wu Yu's face was pale and he didn't say a word.Bu Chonghua forcibly turned his face away, and found that his vision was a little slack, as if he was moved by a sudden flash of thought at this moment of life and death, and was hesitating.

Why is he hesitating?

In just over ten seconds, when he sat down slowly by himself in the fire scene, what did he think of?

A trace of unexplained coldness suddenly rose from the spine, and Bu Chonghua's complexion changed drastically. He grabbed the wet towel and covered his mouth and nose, pulled his arm and put it on his shoulder forcibly, and yelled: "Come with me! Quick!"

"Hiss... it hurts, it hurts," Wu Yu lowered his head and inhaled like a cover-up: "I just sprained my ankle, lightly..."

The door frame of the master bedroom was already on fire. Bu Chonghua hurried to the window, smashed the glass on the other side of the window frame, grabbed Wu Yu's shoulder and shouted: "I call three two one! Jump hard with me!" !Understand?!"

Wu Yu swallowed.

"If we die, we have nothing! We have to live, and we can catch those scumbags! We can avenge the victims if we live!" Bu Chonghua brushed back the broken hair on his forehead with his thumb, forcing him to stare at himself Eyes: "Understood?!"

"..." Wu Yu panted, and finally nodded: "I understand."

"Jump!"

Fresh air poured into the fire, and the flames detonated instantly and rushed into the night sky with a bang.In the dazzling sea of ​​flames, Bu Chonghua wrapped Wu Yu in his arms, took two steps to run up and jumped off the windowsill!

thump!

The two fell to the ground at the same time, rolled over, staggered out of the gray smoke, and climbed more than ten meters in a row. The cool wind came oncoming, and finally fell to the ground.

"Cough cough cough!...cough cough cough..."

Bu Chonghua ate a mouth full of black smoke, almost choked his lungs out of his throat, and he coughed for a long time before he finally stopped. He sat on the ground with black eyes, and exhaled heavily.

There was a light click behind him, and a cluster of flames ignited.He looked back and saw Wu Yu lying flat on the grass with his back facing the sky, with a cigarette in his mouth, and he was lighting a lighter.

"..." Bu Chonghua fumbled in his trouser pocket, "When did you take it away?"

The three-story concrete building in the distance has been completely shrouded in flames. Wu Yu's profile is outlined in the firelight, from forehead, to brow bone, to straight nose bridge, narrow jaw, and the deep depression below the neck. In the neck fossa, the light and shadow were shockingly clear.Bu Chonghua saw the corners of his mouth twitched wearily, lit his cigarette, and took a long breath of light blue smoke:

"When I pushed that unlucky ghost to you."

He paused and said, "I still want to have another good smoke."

He laughed self-deprecatingly, Bu Chonghua stared at him not knowing what to say, and could only shake his head for a long time, both of them felt a little relaxed and helpless after being exhausted.

"In my life, unless the sky falls, I will never take your lighter again." Bu Chonghua said helplessly, "How is your hand?"

Wu Yu spread his palms to indicate that it was okay, but Bu Chonghua reluctantly stood up and sat closer. He took his arm and looked carefully for a while, only to see that the bloody palm had been dried, but the wound was not too serious. Big, it should be the reason why the wet towel wrapped more than half of the palm.

"Go back to the first hospital for disinfection, don't get infected in hot weather."

"Well, okay."

The physical exertion of walking through the fire was extremely astonishing. Their chests and lungs were full of gray smoke, and even breathing was so hot and painful that they couldn't get up for a while.Sitting beside Wu Yu, Bu Chonghua looked at his slender black eyebrows and eyelashes drooping like crow wings, and suddenly said for no reason: "Do you know, many years ago, there was a person who dragged me away like this?" Get out of the fire."

"what?"

"He told me that only by living can we get revenge. If a person dies, there is nothing left. I have always remembered this sentence. Only by living can I remember many things, feel all kinds of happiness and pain, and experience all kinds of life in this world. This kind of meaning." Bu Zhonghua paused, and said in a low voice: "When you die, you will have nothing. It is a terrible thing."

Wu Yu's movement of flicking the soot stopped, his pupils constricted instantly, and his bloody fingers trembled slightly in the shadows.

He lay motionless on the ground, and for a moment, he seemed unable to even make a sound of breathing. After a long time, he opened his mouth amidst the crackling sound of burning in the distance, and asked softly: "...then what are you doing now?" Got revenge?"

Bu Chonghua stood up and stomped the grass roots all over his trouser legs, and said, "Not yet."

Without further ado, he stretched out his hand to Wu Yu, motioning for him to pull him up: "We have to leave quickly, the villagers who put out the fire are coming. The person who set the fire must still be lurking around, let's hurry back to the car and wait for backup to come."

Wu Yu took a deep breath, took his hand, stood up from the ground staggeringly, and suddenly shivered: "I'll wipe it."

"how?"

Wu Yu didn't make a sound or move. Shaoqing suddenly turned his head to look at the thick black night in the distance, his eyes were cold and alert, and his expression was very unusual: "...It seems that there is movement."

movement?

The bursting of the burning house, the whining and screaming of the night wind, the wilderness where the mountains and forests are shaking...

"Go," Wu Yu took a step back, and suddenly shouted, "Go!"

There was no need for him to remind him a second time, the two of them started running at the same time, but they stopped suddenly after running a few steps!

The half-person-high weeds in the mountains and forests in the distance swayed from side to side, and the rustling sound they made came from far to near, from chaotic to orderly, and finally showed their silhouette from the night——

That's not grass, that's people.

Hundreds of villagers stepped forward slowly in a fan shape. Among the crowd were dense wooden sticks and kitchen knives. Every face was flashing with indifference and vigilance. Their eyes were full of hostility from all directions, and they fixed their eyes on Wu Yu and Bu Chonghua in the center of the encirclement. .
