The alarm sounded and there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind Song Lisa .
The soldiers and civilians who had been attending the wedding a moment ago poured out of the alley. Several teams of soldiers quickly lined up and rushed towards the direction of the gunfire. The groom in red was among them; civilians, including women, shouted and directed the rear; boys and girls gathered their children and hid in the air-raid shelter.
At the hospital entrance, Li Jungkook and several Cook soldiers who had gotten out of their hospital beds sped away on motorcycles.
In the direction where the motorcycle’s taillight disappeared, shells streaked across the sky like meteors in the middle of the night.
Song Lisa put on her backpack and ran towards the university. In the distance behind her, the shells made a mournful sound when they took off, and exploded with a loud bang when they landed. The houses on both sides of the road shook violently, and layers of wall plaster and mud fell off and hit her head.
There was still a street away from the university when a car suddenly sped past behind her. Song Lisa held his waist and shouted, “Jose! I’m here! Jose!”
The car slammed on the brakes and turned around. Song Lisa ran across the street and without waiting for the car to stop in front of her, she opened the passenger seat and jumped in.
Jose said, “I was just about to pick you up from the university!”
“Yes, so I ran there.” She quickly put on her helmet and bulletproof vest.
Heading towards the battlefield, the night sky ahead was already lit up by the flames of war. On the horizon, artillery fire and smoke exploded into mushroom clouds; in the night sky, the intersecting shells wove a silver net like a meteor shower.
She can only speak by shouting:
“Why did it suddenly explode?!”
“The rebels launched a massive sneak attack!”
“Is the situation serious?”
“It’s okay! The government army got the intelligence first and was prepared!”
Song Lisa asked: “What about the Cook soldiers?”
“They only fight terrorists!” Jose shouted, “If the terrorists don’t move out in this battle, they won’t take action for the time being!”
“What if we go out?”
“It’s a life-and-death struggle!”
Song Lisa clenched her teeth and her hands and feet trembled slightly.
Outside the car window, a picture scroll of the world seemed to unfold as they passed by – teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen carried the elderly and dragged children to evacuate to the air-raid shelters, women brought out simple handmade stretchers from their homes and were ready to go to the front line to carry the wounded at any time, and men in their forties and fifties ran on the streets with guns in hand searching for lone wanderers.
And all the men in their teens, twenties and thirties were on the battlefield.
As they approached the battlefield, the ground beneath the wheels began to shake, and gravel bounced on the broken cement road. Song Lisa put on earplugs to protect her ears. Jose stopped the car, and Song Lisa jumped out swiftly, running with him to the rear of the government army’s firing line.
The rear seemed to be In chaos, with people coming and going, all with serious expressions and in a hurry, but everything was in order. Signalmen came and went to deliver messages, and the generals in the temporary command centre were busy formulating strategies based on the war situation. Some soldiers gathered in rows waiting to go to the front line, while some had already carried their guns and ran to the front line, while the soldiers in the trenches in the distance were meeting the enemy. Snipers, artillery, armoured soldiers, tank soldiers, and soldiers of all arms were in their respective positions, guarding them tightly like tightened screws.
