Outside the building, John Peston sat in the car and looked at his watch as he listened to the continuous gunfire.
It's about time.
Just as this thought appeared in John Peston's mind, the intense gunfire that had been going on suddenly disappeared, leaving only the echoes in the building.
"Hmm?"
John Peston's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. It seemed that the time was shorter than he expected.
Then, a look of understanding appeared on his face. Chen Mo's speed of improvement was beyond his imagination. It seemed that he was not far from the level of a senior priest.
He should be the fastest person in the history of the church to be promoted to a senior priest!
John Peston did not lament too much. After the gunfire stopped, he walked out of the car and stood next to the car, looking at the entrance of the building.
The group of soldiers who had been hiding behind the armored vehicles rushed in after the gunfire stopped. However, they were not there to fight. Since Chen Mo joined the clean-up team and took over the battle, their job changed from fighting the militants to surrounding, driving, sealing, cleaning the battlefield, and searching for and destroying contraband. Like John Peston, they all became assistants for Chen Mo to practice his gunfighting skills. The frontal battle was greedily dominated by Chen Mo.
However, the soldiers were happy with this. In the past, they had lost a few people in every battle, but since Chen Mo joined, their number of casualties had been greatly reduced. They even often finished the battle without any casualties. How could they not be happy?
Now that the gunfire in the building had stopped, it was obvious that Chen Mo had finished the battle. It was time for them to clean up the battlefield and search for contraband.
Not long after the soldiers rushed into the building, Chen Mo, wearing a gray priest robe, walked out of the door. Looking at his cold and indifferent face, who would have thought that he had just killed nearly a hundred people in the building? It was almost a massacre!
"You've become stronger again!"
John Peston praised Chen Mo as he walked to the front of the car.
"At this rate, it won't take long for you to become a senior priest!"
Chen Mo shook his head slightly and walked to the other side of the car.
"It's not that easy. There aren't many large armed forces like this in Nisus. The average small forces are too weak to be of much help to me."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he opened the car door and got into the car. However, just as he sat in the car and reached out to close the door, his eyes inadvertently looked out through the gap in front of the open door. Then, he paused.
Following his gaze, after passing through a few collapsed buildings, there was a low building surrounded by walls about 1,000 meters away from the abandoned mall. A rusty iron door was tightly shut, and there did not seem to be any signs of human activity.
However, Chen Mo's eyesight was extremely sharp. Although they were a thousand meters apart, Chen Mo could still see the scene in the courtyard through the gap in the iron gate. Rows of green vines grew neatly along the shelves, and there were many green fruits hanging on them.
Someone had planted a lot of vegetables here!
However, what first attracted Chen Mo's attention was not these, but the two figures that appeared behind a window on the second floor of the small building.
At first, Chen Mo thought that they were hidden sentries that had not been eliminated, but after taking a closer look, he saw a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman behind the window. Looking at them, they did not look like militants and captured survivors, but more like a couple living together.
Coupled with the vegetables planted in the courtyard below, it was obvious that these two were abandoned people living in the periphery of Nisus. It was just a coincidence that the militants chose to hide in the abandoned mall not far from them. If Chen Mo had not eliminated them in time, these two people would have been discovered sooner or later, and they would not have ended well.
Just now, they were obviously alarmed by the gunshots in the mall, so they ran to the window to observe. At such a distance, it was not easy for ordinary people to find the two people hiding behind the window as long as they did not deliberately look for them.
When Chen Mo looked over, the man's expression changed drastically, and he quickly pulled the woman to hide. It was obvious that he had noticed Chen Mo's gaze.
After Chen Mo confirmed the identity of the two people through the vegetables in the courtyard below, he withdrew his gaze and continued to close the door.
Everything just happened in a flash. John Peston, who followed Chen Mo into the car, did not notice Chen Mo's abnormality. He continued with the previous topic and turned to speak to him.
"You still have time. Take it slow."
Chen Mo heard this and nodded, but did not say anything.
In fact, in his mind, the church's soldiers were the best targets for training. They had undergone formal military training, and their combat power was not bad. Moreover, all of them had been injected with the "Bossian" emotion suppressant. They had no emotions and were not afraid of death. They were the best targets for combat.
However, now was not the time. Let's wait a little longer.
After the two got into the car, the car immediately started, leaving the troops who were still cleaning up the battlefield behind, and took the lead to drive back.
…
In the small building in the distance, the middle-aged man hugged his wife and hid behind the wall, his face full of despair.
"He … that priest found us?"
His wife asked softly in his arms, her voice trembling slightly.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked down at his wife in his arms and nodded gently. At the same time, he hugged her even tighter.
"Dear, it seems that we can't hide this time."
It was a distance of a thousand meters. Even if they ran downstairs now, the church's car would be in front of them by the time they opened the door.
How could the two of them escape the capture of the powerful priest?
His wife did not speak. She just lay quietly in the man's arms, her hands gently stroking the man's chest. Her nervous body gradually relaxed, as if she was not afraid of anything in her husband's arms.
In today's chaotic world where people ate each other, they hid cautiously in this small building every day to drag out an ignoble existence. At all times, they had to be on guard against other abandoned people and militants. The group of militants that came not long ago had nearly a hundred people. They did not dare to sleep at all. They kept a close eye on them, for fear that they would be discovered and end up in a fate worse than death.
These years had been extremely difficult. Living in fear all day long had exhausted them. They were tired of it. If it were not for the other party by their side, they would have lost the courage to live long ago.
They had been prepared to die at any time. Now that the day had finally come, the two of them were relieved after the initial fear.
They were finally free.
