There was the sound of the revolver removing the hammer. There was a sharp pain from the gun barrel pressing against the back of his head.
The boy was petrified. Fight desperately.
Nemo moved the muzzle of the gun lower and shot him in the ear. The bullet penetrated the boy's ear directly.
"Ah! Ah!" the boy shouted in horror.
His hand unconsciously pulled the trigger in a frightened struggle, and all the bullets in the magazine hit the man. Beat him directly into a sieve.
"Oh my god! What did I do?" The boy immediately threw away the gun, covered his head in horror, and squatted on the ground in pain.
The surrounding child soldiers immediately cheered. They thought this was a ceremony for this new member to join them.
Nemo came up, picked him up, hugged his shoulders affectionately, and said: "Look, this is not difficult. I killed my stepfather, and you killed your stepfather. From now on, we are It’s a family.”
He took out a half-smoked cigarette butt, lit it with a lighter, and took a long sip. Then something suddenly struck me. He waved his hand and said: "We should celebrate. Celebrate."
Then he saw Apu, who came near them carrying a pig.
"Old man, give us the pig. This pig has been requisitioned." Nemo sprayed saliva in his mouth, pointed his finger at Apu and scolded loudly.
Her girlfriend immediately pointed the gun at Apu.
His girlfriend is fourteen years old. She is wearing a wedding dress, barefoot, and looks nondescript. This girl was also captured by them, but now she has been assimilated by them.
Nemo liked the girl, so he snatched a wedding dress and ordered her to wear it.
So, she wore a wedding dress weirdly, carrying an AK47, and mingled with these child soldiers. The other boys were shirtless except for a pair of large shorts and flip-flops. It looked very strange.
"My family spent a year saving money to buy this pig. It is all my family's money. You can't take it away. I spent a full 4,600 shillings." Apu said with a sigh.
"Old man, you don't seem to have seen the situation clearly. I said, this pig has been requisitioned. Do you understand, idiot." Nemo looked at the old man chirping and being impatient.
He doesn't care about the life and death of your family. Now that he wants this pig, he must give it to him right away. He waited impatiently.
Nemo irritably fired a shot in Apu's ear. Apu was so frightened that he jumped on the spot. He immediately threw the pig to the ground.
"Bah! Dirty old guy." After expressing his disdain for the old man who could only communicate with a gun, Nemo asked his men to pick up the little pig and get into the pickup truck. They cheered and, amid the boy's cries, lit the car and drove away.
Recently, every family in the tribe has sold their camels and bought weapons, knowing that they cannot afford the extortion of the warlords. Sooner or later these warlords will come looking for us. This time Apu went to the city and it was not convenient for him to bring a gun. Because there are often soldiers entering the town.
Apu's eyes were red with anger, these brats were so arrogant.
When Apu was young, he worked as a mercenary in North Africa. Even though he was considered an honest and amiable person, he was actually not easy to mess with. It's just that he is old now and doesn't want to cause trouble.
He took out a ball from his lower back. This ball was a grass-green plastic sphere. This is clearly an m57 grenade. One of the weapons they bought from Ali.
Without hesitation, Apu pulled out the latch and threw it directly into the pickup truck.
boom! A ball of flame exploded.
Apu quickly rolled into a ditch on the roadside after dropping the bomb.
The M57 grenade is a powerful grenade, weighing one pound and containing 150 grams of powder. The killing radius is 15 meters.
This shabby Toyota pickup truck, with its ordinary steel plates in its childhood, cannot stop the attack of fragments. Both the child soldiers in the carriage and the driver and Nemo in the cab were all blown over. The pickup truck burst into flames.
Apu threw the grenade out of anger, but he immediately sobered up. He knew he was in trouble.
The warlords in this area are very cruel. He must return to the tribe immediately. Tell the elders the news.
Apu immediately ran away and went directly into the desert.
The terrain in the desert is very complex and there are no roads at all. Ordinary people can easily get lost when entering the desert. So as long as you enter the desert, locals like Apu are familiar with the terrain. It would be difficult to catch him.
He ran back to the tribe at dark. At this time, he knelt before the presbytery and confessed.
"Apu, I don't blame you for this. This pig was bought with all your family's money. It was a legitimate act for you to take action out of anger. Regardless of whether you are involved in this matter, they will not fight with us." Let's give it up. It's only a matter of time before we fight. You go back." The great elder did not get angry. But he said in a pleasant manner.
"Let everyone be prepared. Anyway, we have sent all the women, children, cattle, sheep and livestock to Ali. Let's just prepare to fight." The great elder said to everyone.
Everyone put their hands on their chests and retreated.
A quarter of an hour later, the village was abuzz with people, more than 500 people, all collecting weapons. Others fired guns into the air.
On the mountain, Ali saw a commotion in the village and people firing shots. He didn't know what happened, so he quickly sent someone to see the elder.
Soon enough, the news came back.
Ali was also speechless. These people had not received much training and were not organized yet. They were all based on family units. Fighting like this made him feel very unreliable.
"Let's get ready and bury directional mines on the mountain road. Everyone is not allowed to go down the mountain and take cover. The war will start soon." Ali said to the fifty men under him.
These fifty people were people he found from nearby tribes who had fought in the war. All have some military experience. There are frequent wars in the Horn of Africa, and most people here know how to use guns. The most popular ones are ak47 and imitation versions from various countries. Many people have participated in the war.
Maybe an old man who was herding sheep had been a soldier for a few years.
Ali said: "When the warlord's army comes, no one is allowed to open fire without my order. If they don't attack us, we shouldn't provoke them. We have too few people to rescue them. We can only let them resign themselves to their fate."
Mahdi looked at the pickup truck that had been burned into a skeleton, and the flesh on his face twitched.
Right under his nose, in the core area of his rule, his soldiers were bombed to death. This is the first time this has happened in years.
From the ruins of the pickup truck, five charred corpses and a charred pig were pulled out.
"It's Nemo. This is his ring. I won't admit it." One of the men said.
"What happened to this pig? Damn Nemo, this madman, was he killed for robbing the pig?" Mahdi roared angrily. He still knows his men well. This madman goes around robbing people.
Soon, the only pig vendor in the town was brought. It soon became clear.
Because today he sold a total of pigs.
Mahdi was shaking with anger. Before he could seek out the tribe's misfortune, they actually came to his door.
