Chapter 1030 Who else?
"Stop! Fire!"
Yusuke Ichijo gave the order to the second lieutenant leading the team. A cold glint flashed in Inoue Kamasuke's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately issued the order!
He has received explicit authorization from Yusuke Ichijo to kill any “resistors” or “runaways” without exception!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The deadly sound of a Type 38 rifle suddenly rang out, shattering the brief lull in the noise! Bullets whistled sharply, cutting through the cold air, and slammed into the broken walls, bricks, and wooden stakes of the ruins, sending up a series of dazzling sparks and flying debris!
"Ah! My legs!"
"Help!"
The fleeing thugs were terrified. Their survival instincts gave them a final burst of strength, and they ran forward frantically, tumbling and crawling!
But how can the speed of flesh and blood be faster than a bullet leaving the barrel?
A burst of blood erupted from the back of the tall, thin henchman!
He let out a bloodcurdling scream that was so shrill it was inhuman. He staggered forward a few steps, fell to the ground, his body convulsed violently a few times, and then fell silent.
Dark red blood quickly spread from beneath him, soaking the cold ground and emitting a strong stench of blood.
Another thug was shot in the thigh, screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his almost broken leg, rolling on the ground in pain and despair, howling like a slaughtered animal.
The merciless gunshots, like a lit fuse thrown into a powder keg, instantly ignited the already extremely tense, fearful, and oppressive scene!
"The Japanese are shooting and killing people! Run! You'll die if you don't run!" Someone, terrified out of their wits, let out a desperate, heart-wrenching scream!
Li Shouren was taken aback. He recognized the voice; it was Steward Wang's voice!
He wants to stir up chaos so he can escape in the confusion!
This shout, like a final death knell, shattered the last shred of reason in many people!
More people, driven by unspeakable fear, began to blindly, like headless flies, crying and screaming, jumping up from their knees and fleeing desperately in the directions they thought were safe!
They could no longer distinguish who the military police were targeting, nor did they care about the consequences of fleeing; the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything! The entire refugee camp descended into a completely out-of-control, apocalyptic madness!
But Manager Wang ultimately underestimated the ruthlessness of the military police.
"Baka yarou! Suppress! Shoot! Leave no one alive! Kill them all!" Inoue Kamsuke roared, drawing his sword and pointing it at the chaotic crowd, issuing the brutal order!
In his eyes, these Chinese civilians who scattered and fled were no longer "good citizens" who needed to be "appeased," but "rioters" and "hidden dangers" who needed to be completely eliminated!
"Da da da... da da da... da da da..."
The light machine gun emitted a continuous and steady roar, like the Grim Reaper knocking on the door! Scorching bullets rained down like a torrential downpour, forming a deadly fan-shaped barrage that relentlessly poured towards the running figures!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The bursts of rifle fire became unusually frequent! The soldiers calmly aimed, fired, ejected the spent cartridges, and reloaded, their movements as practiced as if they were conducting routine training, only the targets had been living people!
The dull thud of bullets piercing cotton clothing and tearing flesh, the short, piercing screams of those wounded dying, the thud of bodies falling heavily to the ground, the frantic shouts and curses of Japanese soldiers, the click of bolts being pulled back, and the officers' hoarse commands...
All these sounds, mixed with the smell of gunpowder, blood, and people's desperate cries, intertwined to form a powerful, terrifying sound wave and vortex of smell that destroyed all the senses, violently impacting and tearing at the eardrums, nasal cavities, and nerves on the verge of collapse of every survivor on the scene!
Those who resist, die!
Those who try to escape will be considered to be resisting and will be killed without exception!
Only those who reacted quickly, or those who had been terrified by the successive disasters and had completely lost the will to resist, knelt on the spot, burying their heads deep into the cold soil, their bodies trembling like leaves in a storm, uttering meaningless, terrified sobs, prayers and pleas, and thus managed to escape this first wave of indiscriminate bloodshed.
Li Shouren remained kneeling in place, motionless, like a stone statue.
The bullets, carrying a scorching heat, whizzed past his head, ears, and sides!
The flying pebbles, frozen clods of earth, and snow sprayed and pelted his face and body, but he seemed to have lost all feeling and did not react.
Widow Sun and her children were terrified, letting out extremely frightened screams. They clung tightly to his arms and back, burying their heads deep in his arms. Their cries were instantly drowned out by the louder gunfire and screams.
Li Shouren simply looked at the truly hellish scene before him with his completely empty, lifeless eyes, numbly, and even with a strange "calmness."
At this moment, life is so insignificant and fragile that it is less than a blade of grass.
The intense gunfire lasted for several minutes before gradually thinning out and eventually ceasing completely.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and the stench of fresh blood.
There were more than a dozen corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, each in a different pose, and the blood had stained large areas of the snow a shocking dark red.
The survivors knelt on the ground, utterly silent, not daring to even breathe. The only sounds in the air were the howling wind and the occasional faint groans of the wounded.
Li Shouren then realized that people didn't all flee in a panic upon hearing Steward Wang's shouts, as he had imagined. Those who actually fled and were killed by the military police were clearly the ones who still had the strength to run.
Those are the dozen or so people who participated in the robbery yesterday!
And where did their strength come from? From the food and canned goods they plundered from themselves.
That's probably where the strength of these escapees comes from.
How ironic...
Not participating in the robbery meant not obtaining food, and therefore lacking the strength to quickly get up and escape, thus narrowly escaping disaster.
The military police began cleaning up the scene with expressionless faces.
They examined each body one by one, roughly turning them over to confirm death.
At the same time, he began to identify the survivors one by one, his sharp and cold gaze sweeping over every terrified face.
At this moment, Inoue Kamsuke, with his men, walked straight to Li Shouren, who was still kneeling on the ground.
Turning his head, he gestured to Cao Changxicun, who was following him. Cao Changxicun immediately asked in broken Chinese, "You, identify! Who else stole your grain and beat your daughter yesterday?"
