The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 554 Volga River (2) - Orphans, widows and big fish

The Ranger squad had to break down here for a while.

Because at this moment in front of the train, a checkpoint built by bandits was piled up on the only way of the railway. There were not only bonfires, but also roadblocks and repelling horses, and there were even rubble and masonry debris a little further ahead!
Fortunately, Xie Yuan called to stop early, otherwise if he really bumped into this bonfire checkpoint, the people at the checkpoint would be killed if they were killed, but if the locomotive was damaged, it would be a headache.

It is precisely because of the early stop that there is no major obstacle except for some scratches on the front steel plate, but it also needs to be cleared, and it can only be moved after the clearing is completed.

Of course, there are also bandits sent here, ready to rob property and personnel.

The four bandits stationed at the checkpoint did not escape after Xie Yuan fired a warning shot, but hoped to "force to stop" the train by firing random shots-I really don't know if they are stupid or out-of-sense idiots.

Xie Yuan shot and killed three lucky guys in one headshot because they were freed from here, and wounded one unlucky guy with two shots - although he fell into a coma without saying a word... probably caused by stress and shock , but a torture is inevitable.

However, it seems that something will happen if you stop here, at this moment, a church-like building in the distance where the surface is submerged in the water suddenly rang out bursts of rapid bells!
"Boom...boom! Boom...boom!"

This is obviously not the melodious bell used by missionaries to soothe their minds, but more like... delivering a message?
And soon, a row of flat cars suddenly appeared from the bridge in front of the front, and then stopped for less than a second and then drove back with a "boom".

Well, this shows that there are indeed people in the building whose foundation is submerged in the water, and Miller also observed through a telescope that on the bridge across the river, in addition to the militia army similar to the road guard, there are also fortifications.

This is a bit difficult, and since it is confirmed that there are people... then you need to send someone to contact them.

Because Colonel Miller always believed that the occupation army must be wandering nearby, and was always hunting down any of them coming out of Moscow.

If you need to know the movement of the occupying army, there is nothing more detailed than asking the locals, so the old father-in-law ordered Xie Yuan and Anna's soldiers.

Although Sam volunteered, Miller wanted to avoid suspicion, and at the same time believed that the abilities of his daughter Anna and son-in-law Artyom would not be endangered.

Because of Anna's presence, she can slightly influence Xie Yuan's decision, and Xie Yuan's existence can also make any ups and downs smooth. Although there are indeed conflicts between Colonel Miller and his son-in-law, but for his strength Still convinced.

Anna held the gun just like that, and got out of the car with Xie Yuan.

……

This time, Xie Yuan had experienced the equipment blessing of a two-man Ranger combat team.

He got a backpack from Tokarev, an expert in weapons and equipment—it contained some simple processing and repair tools and biological extraction.You can use tools to disassemble accessories or simply process accessories, or try to collect some local fungi...there are some chemicals in there.

Anna who got out of the car was a little emotional: "I have to say, that is really an unreliable roadblock, and those guys... Let's put it this way, they don't seem to be soldiers at all...just a bunch of old men."

Yes, unfortunately, the three bandits Xie Yuan shot and killed turned out to be some old guys in rags—of course, the bad guys might be getting old.

Miller did not dare to take it lightly. He still insisted that everything was occupied except Moscow: "Be careful outside...don't forget...a lot of this country has been destroyed or occupied.

Even people who speak our language can be enemies, whether they are willing or just out of fear... get it? "

As soon as the voice fell, the big bell over there rang again.

"Did you hear a bell?" Anna walked ahead, looking in the direction of the church in the distance, guessing, "We must have scared them.

They might serve the enemy... enslaved or something..."

Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously. They might be enslaved, but they were definitely enslaved by former careerists and false gods who used "gods" to confuse people's hearts.

Including the last few worlds, he has been in this country for nearly a century. This place has a very long cultural history-although it is a culture of robbers and sensual poets.

But it is undeniable that the Third Reich was able to establish a local puppet army for a short time, but in fact, it was the locals who really fought against the Red Army of the Alliance in the later stage-people who were dissatisfied with the policies of the Alliance.

Just like after entering the 21st century, except for the granary country in Eastern Europe, very few people are really willing to fight with the Great Mao country-the Slavs have a hobby of killing each other.

Therefore, while others were still wondering where the word-of-mouth invading army was, Xie Yuan decided on an idea: it is unlikely that there would be an invading army on the land of Da Mao, or in other words——they came from afar These people are the occupying army!
The direction from the railway to the church required a big landslide, and the young couple slid down like a slide. The land was a depression.

Near the railway, there is an abandoned passenger car. Anna wants Xie Yuan to take a look, while she looks for a commanding height to monitor.

There are no signs of strangers in the abandoned carriage, but some canisters, ammunition, and painkillers can be found here. Although it is just a few pieces of rice, it is better than nothing.

While Xie Yuan was searching for useful items, Anna also looked around and found an undisputed commanding height - the electric tower that still stood before the war.

Ironically, with the exception of the electricity tower and the church, all other recent creations have been scraped from pre-war ruins.

The following paths are all safe paths identified by the locals through years of walking, and each location is marked by a red cloth wrapped around a pole of wood as self-taught as the citizens of the Moscow subway station.

In the end, Anna could only part ways with Xie Yuan in front of a pier, because she needed to stay at a high place to guide and cover Xie Yuan: "Well, Artyom, when you go to that church by boat, I will go to Climb on top.

I'll call you when I'm done. "

"Be careful." After Xie Yuan patted Anna on the shoulder, he took a few steps to the so-called boat—that is, the small life-saving raft that has been used near Venice Station.

The red side of the boat is matched with the white hull, but 20 years is enough to make the paint mottled, and the supporting oars are also dry and whitish... I don't know when it will be scrapped.

This is the same situation as the Moscow subway station: if you can't make it, you can only make do with it.

Xie Yuan stepped onto the small raft, and felt the "squeaky" sound of wood whining—this thing won't be used a few times...according to his weight.

But it can still be used now, Xie Yuan used the paddle to dig on the surface of the water—the small raft began to carry him away from the pier.

"Good luck!" Anna called out from behind.

……

It is now the season of late winter turning into new spring. Most of the ice on the Volga River has begun to melt, but there are still some places with white snow.

Xie Yuan used his paddles to push forward wave after wave. Wherever he looked, there were some female giant prawns that were quiet just now on the shore and on the island in the middle of the river, and then submerged in the water in a blink of an eye.

Xie Yuan knew very well that this was a sign that they were preparing to ambush him, so following their dive route, he began to slowly bypass their trajectory and drive in another direction.

"Suck... Artyom!" Anna finally uttered a voice through the radio halfway, "I'm at the top of the tower, this is really a wonderful place."

However, Anna's reply would not affect Xie Yuan's actions. He continued to row the boat wave after wave.

Until then, Anna suddenly said: "Oh...it seems that you have been discovered..."

"Huh?" Xie Yuan looked up, in the direction of the church, only to find a lady suddenly waving cloth strips on the bell tower of the church... Xie Yuan felt that she was asking for help.

Apparently Anna noticed this too: "Artyom, there's a woman in the clock tower waving a rag or something... Please look into it."

After speaking, he seemed to be worried about Xie Yuan's recklessness, and then gently reminded: "I saw people in the church, no one seemed to be armed, we'd better try an open way.

...don't shoot yet, okay? "

Well, of course there is no problem, Xie Yuan guessed that he should have bumped into a group of believers who were bewitched, but as long as it is not too cruel and evil... It is better to let them live than to kill them.

Sure enough, when we approached the entrance of this church - the former gate has now become a river like the water city of Venice.

It was the first time we met, and the villagers or believers living here were still polite: "May you have a safe journey, traveler."

Not only were they polite, they were even a little enthusiastic... Passionately preaching the doctrine to themselves, outsiders: "Our Holy Father Sirantius has already started preaching, enter the temple to see the light of truth!"

Having said all this, Xie Yuan naturally wouldn't refute his face, so he drove the boat all the way into the "river".

For the time being, he didn't feel any malice, nor did he even feel any danger—the former was because the attack behavior of normal cultists was likely to uphold "good for you"; the latter was because he didn't find any opponent worth fighting at all.

Then what are you afraid of? !
However, the shouts and mountain shouts heard next made Xie Yuan dumbfounded.

Because these people were in the former Orthodox church, and although they were not hallelujah, they shouted "High technology is a sin!"

This is an X cult group that resists any high-tech—from the abolition of martial arts to this point, Xie Yuan is worried about their safety.

Sirantius, who stood tall in the middle of the corridor on the second floor, preached in a compassionate tone the various retributions brought about by the use of high technology and electric currents—but nothing would be more abrupt than the sudden insertion of a girl's voice.

"You are all liars!" Xie Yuan saw a little girl shouting loudly in the corridor behind the original church hall, denouncing their teachings, "You are all sinners, you can't save people!"

The little girl shouted and reminded Xie Yuan: "They killed our friends...and my father!"

Well, the little girl said it happily, but soon the calm villagers exploded.

"Children of Satan!"

"Filth that lives on electricity!"

"Why are we suffering from this?!"

"Drive them out, teach them a lesson!" shouted one radical villager.

"Yes!" This sentence was quickly echoed, "They don't deserve the protection of the Tsarfish!"

"Exile them and let them repent!"

The villagers were furious, but Sirantius seemed very calm, even humble-a leader of the X cult can manipulate others through words.

Soon, the villagers unanimously chanted "Resist ignorance and sin," and "Amen"

Xie Yuan continued to control the boat and entered the back hall. After a while, as soon as he got to the back, the surrounding area began to be covered with interception nets.

The little girl started yelling at Xie Yuan on the roof: "Come up here."

And the so-called Holy Father just now began to be gentle with the gangsters. Regarding the so-called "heterogeneous gangsters", he has already been caught, and their brother militia has arrived soon, and is about to execute the Lord's just judgment and so on.

It has to be said that this group of people does not have the weapons of the Hanseatics, but they have the arrogance of the Hanseatics-it is estimated that they have done a lot of things like bullying outsiders.

Xie Yuan decided to get in touch with the little girl as much as possible, and rescued her, otherwise it would really catch fire. He didn't know if Xie Yuan had something to do, but if this gang of anti-science XJs didn't have nuclear bombs or powerful explosives ...

They can only die!
But when he really walked to the attic of the back hall, Xie Yuan found that there should be two people here, or a pair of mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter are not locals, but they are also outsiders who have been controlled by the villagers for a year here. The X cultists are not even willing to say anything to outsiders.

While talking, the whistle sounded, and his mother told Xie Yuan in a panic that it was the bridge guards who had arrived...they had guns.

Good to have a gun!Xie Yuan wished that these people could be as strong as possible. Having a gun means that these people have bullets and high-end accessories.

And these things will become your own harvest in the future.

Anyway, the mother and daughter have the ability to protect themselves, and if they hadn't seen any hope of escape, they would have run away long ago.

Then Xie Yuan started to search for these fat sheep that fell into his mouth through another path.

……

Fifteen minutes later, on the pier, Xie Yuan pulled down the mechanism that lowered the life raft out of boredom.

Anna was still amazed at Xie Yuan's silent evacuation operation just like a shadow: "Well done, Artyom, you are like a real ninja."

"Ha! It's not so much that I'm a ninja," Xie Yuan felt that there was no need to make a fuss, "it's better to say that they are too weak."

Yes, this group of people is too weak, Xie Yuan really doesn't bother to kill them, Xie Yuan can easily appear behind them, stun them, and loot everything on them.

It's a pity that the harvest is still too shabby. After knocking them all out, the bullets they get are only more than 200 rounds of rifle bullets, a dozen rounds of shotgun bullets and dozens of rounds of pistol bullets.There are also some high-end accessories for firearms that can be comforted.

This group of people didn't even have a trace of protective measures on them, as if the armor manufacturing involved electric furnaces, so they were discarded.

Seriously, this behavior is really stupid - but since it's their custom, forget it.Their threat was not even as exciting as the bandits.

Of course, another reason is that Anna is very satisfied with Xie Yuan's actions, and if she didn't take Katia and Nastia back to the train, she could even offer a sweet kiss—but he can go back and get it.

In short, Xie Yuan made up his mind to clear out all the bandits here when he went back—to have a good time.

However, the surrounding shrimps started to be restless again. They kept going into the water, their heads popped out, and they clung to the side of the boat.

Xie Yuan could only hold an oar in one hand, and a .44 six-shot revolver in the other, and pointed at the folds of the early female shrimps, the mouthparts like a sucker came and exploded!
This finally allowed the water to calm down for a while.

After paddling for a while, a bright light came from the opposite side, and at the same time, Duke's cry: "Artyom, here!"

But Xie Yuan didn't dare to relax, because in his perception, a huge creature was approaching.

"Gulu!" Suddenly there was a jolt from under the boat, Xie Yuan immediately turned to the other side to stabilize the raft, and then saw a huge fish cruising on the water surface!
Only the upper fin of this fish is exposed to the water, but the exposed fin is bigger than his boat-how big is the body!

Moreover, after swimming around, the fish jumped up again, and after rushing into the water, the direction turned out to be him.

It wants to eat itself? !

The next moment, the big fish, which was originally a catfish, directly opened its blood basin and smashed the front of the bow with a big mouthful. Xie Yuan injected all the .44 countersunk bullets in his hand into its mouth without a single pause.

"Papa, papa, papa!" Six blood flowers began to bloom in its mouth.

"Roar!!!" The fish seemed to be roaring, and then it used a crocodile-like flipping skill, even rolling the boat.

But it was so hard to get Xie Yuan, he jumped onto the white belly of the big catfish directly with one foot.

The big catfish quickly subconsciously turned its body back to the right, but Xie Yuan had already stabbed hard with the trench knife in his hand at a faster speed, and then pulled——

"Crack!" I didn't expect the trench knife to go in, but when I pulled it down again, the knife broke into two pieces!
Fuck, is this a monster? !
But in an emergency, Xie Yuan couldn't let Xie Yuan think more, he just stepped on the flipped fish's fin, and stepped hard, and the big catfish was directly submerged into the water by this stomp!
But with this leverage, Xie Yuan jumped four meters away, even when he fell into the water, he put his backpack on his back and threw it on the shore - there are bullets and accessories in it, and it will be ruined if he falls into the water .

"Plop!" A huge dirty green splash suddenly surged on the shore.

After Xie Yuan fell into the water, he immediately paddled towards the shore desperately. He was seriously injured by the catfish just now, and he didn't want to fight with the big catfish in the water - it was too bad.

Fortunately, Duke was nearby, so he immediately grabbed Xie Yuan's hand and pulled him ashore with great effort.

"Then what the hell is it?" Duke put down the gun he was holding at the moment, and leaned against the dead tree trunk to breathe heavily—he, a spectator, was more excited than he, a participant, and pointed to the river, "A whale ?!"

"No," Xie Yuan corrected, "This is a catfish. It may be caused by radiation or some experimental drugs."

"It's so fucking big!" Duke exclaimed in a loss of composure.
