The warm-hearted driver found a home for Xu Taiping. It was said that he was a good friend of the driver and opened a small supermarket in Nabuta. The house was empty, enough for Xu Taiping to live in.

Xu Taiping was extremely grateful. He paid the driver and stayed at the house.

Currently, the entire town of Nabuta was under the control of Ivy's army. According to the information provided by the organization, Ivy's underlings in the city numbered more than a thousand people, eight tanks, and a variety of other weapons, while Ivy's mansion was located in the center of the town, surrounded by a lot of other people. At the same time, there were also many armoured vehicles and tanks protecting the area around Ivy's mansion.

It was impossible to break through from the ground to the official residence of Avier, so Xu Taiping focused his attention on the sky.

Although there were a lot of anti-aircraft cannons installed in Ivy's residence, due to the lack of equipment, it was not a threat to planes above 4000 meters.

Xu Taiping looked at his watch, picked up his cell phone, and sent a list of all the equipment he needed to the organization. He packed up his stuff, left his room, and walked out onto the street.

"Chinese, I advise you not to wander around. It would be bad if you meet Ivy's soldiers!" the owner advised.

"I'll just watch from the side." Xu Taiping said, "It's fine."

"If you really meet Avier's soldiers, you'd better pretend that you're a Chinese. After all, the pirates are pro-Western countries, and they won't make things difficult for the Chinese." The owner said.

"I understand!" Xu Taiping nodded, thanked her and walked to the side of the road.

The entire city of Nabuta was dilapidated. Because of the geographical location, war often broke out here, so it could be seen clearly that the walls of these houses were riddled with bullet holes.

Xu Taiping seemed to be casually walking on the road, but from up high, one could clearly see that he was getting closer and closer to the center of the city.

Xu Taiping didn't take the map, but walked around like a local, showing no signs of getting lost. This was all thanks to Xu Taiping's amazing memory, even on the taxi, he had already memorized all the maps of the city.

Right now, this city was no less familiar with Xu Taiping than Jiang Yuan was with Xu Taiping. Even if Xu Taiping had closed his eyes, he probably wouldn't have gotten lost.

There were still a lot of people coming and going, but they were all in a hurry. It was a short time of peace, and everyone was taking advantage of this time to go shopping for daily necessities, the most important of which was naturally the water and food. The place where Xu Taiping lived.

On the way, he could clearly see that the people here were all very skinny, as if they were all malnourished.

After the government army was chased out of the city, Ivy's army was said to have carried out a large-scale looting of the entire city, the most common looting being food and water. In a place like this, money or the like were of little use, maybe a hundred dollars a day could buy a cow, ten thousand dollars a day could only buy a box of firewood, inflation was very normal in war countries, only gold, food, and water were the most valued items.

It was said that more than a third of the people in this city had died. Some of those who had died had been sent outside the city to be buried, while some of them had been abandoned in the wilderness to be eaten by the scavengers.

This was the result of the country's turmoil. Xu Taiping really wanted those within the country who clamored for war all day long to come and see Nabuta, to see what war could bring to a country.

He kept walking in the direction of the center of the city. After about fifteen minutes of walking, he found that the road had already been blocked off, with a few tanks blocking the road to the center of the city, leaving only a few gaps. Xu Taiping stood about a hundred meters away from the gap, watching the cars pass through the inspection of the gap, before entering the center of the city.

"Can you give me something to eat?" A tender voice suddenly sounded from behind Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping turned around and saw a girl about five years old.

The woman's skin was very dark, darker than ordinary people in the Plum Country. She looked very thin and fragile, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"I'm sorry, I didn't." Xu Taiping shook his head apologetically. He really didn't bring food with him.

"Well, thank you." As the girl spoke, she nodded towards Xu Taiping, then walked towards a nearby street.

At this moment, gunshots rang out from a gap not far away.

Xu Taiping looked over and saw a black pickup truck parked about 30 meters away from the gap. The group of people on the truck were shooting at the soldiers with their rifles.

Several of the soldiers fell at once, and then began to run behind the cover.

The bullets flew out, and those who were waiting to check their identity before entering the city center ran out of the car in fright. Some people were lucky, and ran away, while most of them were shot by bullets while running, falling onto the ground, their lives unknown.

The muzzle of the tank turned a little bit, then turned to face the truck.

At this moment, an anti-tank suddenly roared as it flew towards the tank.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A loud sound rang out, the entire tank's barrel was instantly blasted away, the tank's light shot into the sky, a scream came from inside the tank, following that, Xu Taiping saw a person climb out from the tank, his body was already surrounded by fire, he screamed miserably and jumped down from the tank, but he was hit by the bullet before he could even run two steps, falling onto the ground.

Several modified cars drove over from the distance. Groups of people wearing ordinary clothes jumped out from the cars. They held all kinds of weapons and fired at the people who were inspecting the entrance. From the looks of it, they didn't seem like government soldiers.

Right at this moment, Xu Taiping suddenly heard the sound of an engine roaring. He turned around and saw that not too far away from him, armoured vehicles were rapidly approaching, and right at this moment, the little girl who had asked Xu Taiping for food earlier had just walked into the middle of the road.

The rapidly approaching armoured vehicle did not slow down at all, and directly rolled towards the little girl.

A shadow flashed past and the little girl suddenly disappeared from the front of the armoured car. The people on the armoured car didn't notice anything unusual and drove the car forward.

"Let's hurry back." Xu Taiping put the little girl on the ground, patting her head, "Don't come this way in the future."

"Okay, okay!" The little girl recovered from her panic and quickly ran to the other side.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of gunshots rang out.

The little girl only ran a few steps before collapsing. The bullet penetrated her body and shattered it into countless pieces.

The loud sound of the helicopter reached Xu Taiping's ears. Xu Taiping looked up at the sky and saw a few helicopter gunships approaching from the distance. They were firing at anyone who could be seen on the ground, regardless of whether they were ordinary people or enemies.

Xu Taiping was only one person. He couldn't use his physical body to block the large-caliber machine gun on the helicopter, so he quickly rushed to a nearby staircase.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets hit the walls of the house, leaving deep gashes and scattering concrete on the floor.

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…!

Explosions were heard in the distance, accompanied by countless screams.

Xu Taiping stood at the corner of the stairs, looking outside.

The sunlight outside was glaring, but it was dyed red with blood.

Xu Taiping took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.

Before he finished smoking the cigarette, the sound of gunfire had completely disappeared.

Xu Taiping threw his cigarette on the floor and walked out from the staircase.

There was no one on the road. At the gap one hundred meters away, the truck was already surrounded by fire, and around the truck was a pile of bodies. A group of people wearing camouflage clothes, walking over to the pile of bodies, firing at them countless times, riddling them with bullet holes, and then letting out unpleasant cheers.

Xu Taiping walked to the side, where the little girl had been killed.

On the ground was the disfigured corpse of the little girl, Xu Taiping stood there with an indifferent expression.

This was just a daily occurrence on the battlefield. On the battlefield, everyone was likely to die, be it a child, an old man, or a woman.

In the eyes of those who had killed to the point of being red-eyed, as long as they were not comrades, they were all enemies.

Xu Taiping walked to the side. He planned to leave.

At this moment, a berating voice suddenly sounded.

"Halt!"

Xu Taiping suddenly stopped. He saw five people in camouflage clothes, holding M4 rifles, walk out from a corner. This group of people pointed their guns at Xu Taiping, and then slowly walked around him.

Xu Taiping looked around. He was the only one left on the road. Of course, he could feel many pairs of eyes staring at him from the houses nearby.

Pairs of cold eyes that looked like they were looking at a corpse. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
