Chapter 165 The Tragedy of Usaka
Chapter 165 The Tragedy of Usaka
This convoy was Zhao Yu's... or more accurately, Said Ziaten's troops.
In the world mode, Zhao Yu discovered that he had many ordinary pickup trucks under his command, which allowed him to assemble a large convoy, bringing along his two lieutenants, Hakim and Karim, his own chieftain's guard, and hundreds of Said's personal guards.
As for the adjutant duo Yanlong and Nuhuo, Zhao Yu chose to have them stay and guard the dam.
"Almost there, boss, it's just ahead." Inside the car, an Assara Guard soldier pointed the way to Zhao Yu as he drove.
Zhao Yu originally intended to go directly to Reis to settle accounts, but the conversation among the chief's guards made him change his mind, and he decided to come to Usaka Village first.
After all, his men's families lived in Usaka village, and since the village had been robbed, he had every right to come and see for himself.
Sitting in the driver's seat, telling Zhao Yu that they were almost there, was an Asara Guard soldier from Usaka village. He happened to know how to drive, so Zhao Yu simply let him be the driver and guide.
"Don't be afraid, I won't let my brothers bleed and cry again," Zhao Yu said, looking at the guards beside him.
Shortly after, the phone rang.
Zhao Yu took out his old-fashioned flip phone, turned it on, and the screen still showed the insignia of the Assara Guard. This phone had been with Saeed for a long time and he had never replaced it.
As for why it's a flip phone... it's probably to guard against Hafk, after all, Hafk's Skynet is all-pervasive.
It is a bit.
"Lahar." Zhao Yu spoke, and Isaiah's voice reached Bit and the Asara Guard soldiers driving the car.
The reason for contacting Bit was simple: Zhao Yu wondered if this was a conspiracy set up by Hafk or someone else to ambush him, which was not impossible.
Since it was possible, preparations had to be made. Contacting Bitmain and GTI were among Zhao Yu's preparations.
After all, with the villages downstream of the dam massacred, he, as the captain of the Asara Guard in the Zero Dam area, had nowhere left to retreat.
He couldn't just hide in a bunker to survive; Zhao Yu's pride wouldn't allow him to do such a thing.
"Hello, Saeed, it's me."
"My teammates and I have arrived at Usaka village. There... a catastrophe has occurred here." Rashid Lahar's tone was very heavy.
"But don't worry, we at GTI are humanitarian."
"I've contacted the command center. The first batch of relief supplies will arrive soon. We will do everything we can to save every survivor." Bit's words came from the flip phone, making Zhao Yu's heart sink again.
Judging from Bitt's words, they may have underestimated the extent of the disaster in Usaka village.
"Wait a minute, we'll be there soon." Zhao Yu didn't know what to say, so he just hung up the phone.
Zhao Yu rolled down the car window, sat in the pickup truck, and stretched his hand out of the car to feel the biting wind.
Zhao Yu turned his head and looked through the mask at the Asara Guard soldier driving beside him. The man was wearing a helmet and mask, and his eyes were slightly red. Clearly, he had heard clearly, and it was his limit to hold back his tears.
He couldn't cry now, and the situation didn't allow him to have a good cry; he still had to drive and give directions to Commander Sayed.
At this moment, he once again had that feeling he had had more than once before: the Asara Guard soldiers in front of him were living, breathing people, not just a string of cold code in the Delta world.
I highly recommend "What Delta, Isn't it Operation Assara?"! Click to enter the story world.
Zhao Yu withdrew his gaze and focused on what lay ahead. Before him stretched endless yellow sand and boundless desert. The construction of the No. 0 Dam had altered the water level, turning many places that should have been vibrant with life into desolate wastelands.
At this moment, Zhao Yu gained a deeper understanding of "Said Ziaten," the "Red Owl" he had been playing for some time.
Said will never forgive Hafk, even if the price is bearing the name of a remnant of the old era and living in the past forever.
Even if it's criticized as hate, even if it means standing against the whole world.
"No matter who you are, I will find you."
Then, blood for blood, tooth for tooth.
"I will drive out Asara without leaving a single enemy alive!"
First Hafk, and then you guys!
……
Before long, the convoy stopped at the entrance of Usaka village, and the horrific scene before them stunned everyone.
The village is now in ruins, with lingering smoke from the broken walls, charred beams lying askew on the rubble, and occasional half-collapsed earthen walls teetering on the verge of collapse.
GTI personnel and peacekeeping forces have joined forces to conduct search and rescue operations at the scene, but compared to the current devastation in Usaka village, nothing else seems to matter.
Zhao Yu fell silent, the tragic scene before him deeply wounding his sense of humanity.
He didn't dare look at the expression of the Asara Guard soldier driving the car beside him, pushed open the car door, and got out.
Zhao Yu clenched his fists and slowly walked towards what lay before him...a living hell.
"Is this Mr. Said Ziaten?"
We are a relief organization under GTI, and we deeply sympathize with the disaster suffered by Usaka village and the entire Asara region. GTI leadership has instructed all departments to work with the peacekeeping forces to carry out disaster relief.
The rescue command center is located in the west of the village, where Mr. Rashid Rahar and Mr. Roy Sme, the commanders of this rescue operation, are already waiting for you.
"If needed, I can take you there right now." A GTI staff member, seeing the entourage on Zhao Yu's side, quickly stepped forward and said to Zhao Yu.
"Go, take the brothers and lend a hand if you can," Zhao Yu said to his adjutants and soldiers beside him.
Both the leader's guards and the personal guards remained unusually silent. Upon hearing this, they simply carried out Zhao Yu's orders and joined the rescue effort.
As you enter the village, several crows peck at the stiff bodies at the base of the wall. In the center of the courtyard, an overturned stone mill presses down on a spilled water bucket.
The well platform was half destroyed by the bomb, the windlass was burned to charcoal, and the charred jujube trees rustled in the wind, with a few leaves blackened by gunpowder still hanging on the branches. Occasionally, a tattered rag doll could be seen, half buried in the soil.
GTI personnel were attempting to rescue survivors atop the rubble. Zhao Yu also spotted Lena van der Meier, a doctor on the front lines, doing everything she could to try and save any potential survivors.
Zhao Yu saw a stubborn streak in Lina; she worked harder than any other GTI member.
Hakim Ziani and Karim Ben Ali, Zhao Yu's two adjutants, along with Zhao Yu's group of chieftains and guards, did not leave Zhao Yu's side. Instead, they followed him closely, protecting him.
"You guys go help too, every one we can save is a lifesaver," Zhao Yu ordered, and then continued to follow the GTI staff who were guiding him.
