Chapter 286 Start acting
"Bishop Marian."
Maryan, who was sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall, shuddered. He looked at Lin Fan and Judge Omar, who were as stern as iron, with only pain on his face.
"You know it all. Even if the people believe in the Emperor, they are unwilling to believe in you priests and nuns."
"I. Know."
Maryan said these words slowly. Every time he said one, he felt the pain of his heart being bitten by insects and ants.
No people are willing to believe in these priests. They have changed from praisers of the Emperor's will to butchers who destroy the hive city. Even if Marian was not deceived by the devil, he would still feel pain for the incompetence of the state religion.
"So do you have any opinion on your verdict?"
"I. Have no opinion at all."
"Very good, pack up and go to serve your sentence."
The door closed, and Bishop Marian stood outside the door in disappointment.
No, it's Marian now. Everything on him has been cancelled. Only a book of holy words under his washed bleached robe accompanies him.
Walking down the street, people were cleaning up the ruins and various white powders left behind. Marian knew that those were the ashes of the burned dead.
From time to time, some people could be seen crying in front of a pile of ashes. Marian wanted to comfort this person, but was pushed away rudely.
"I don't need you, I will pray to the emperor!"
With his mouth open, not knowing what to say, Marian had to keep moving forward. Along the way, almost everyone avoided him.
Sometimes you can see some nuns cleaning up the ruins. They are covered in sweat and mud, and their trained bodies are obviously stronger than others.
Sister Selina is fighting with huge rubble and stones with a shovel. Each time she shovels away the weight that ordinary people can only reach with a shovel.
Waving to the nuns who were isolated and distrusted by the people from a distance, Marian saw a cheerful figure running towards him.
It's her again. Marian saw this girl on the battlefield.
"Hello, Sister Shasi."
"Huh!" Shasi was not wearing her power armor. Her upper body was a simple breastplate with a red cross engraved on it. Her lower body was a long skirt made of coarse cloth. A black leather bag hung around her waist, which looked like Shasi's medical kit.
"I finally found you. Wait for me. I ran a long way."
"I'm sorry, Sister Shasi, I was distracted."
Marian's apologetic mouth was pointed at by Shasi with her index finger. Looking at Shasi's somewhat angry eyes, Marian laughed helplessly.
"Ms. Shasi."
"That's right. Now you are not a bishop, and I am not a nun." Shasi patted Marian's shoulder, jumped in front of him lightly, and looked back at him.
"Let's go? You and I still have things to do."
"Okay."
Marian followed Shasi, and he felt a sense of comfort and warmth that he had never experienced before.
This kind of emotion, at least since he joined the church, he had not experienced much, and Ms. Shasi in front of him really made Marian feel at ease.
He had never seen Shasi in distress, nor had he seen Shasi in sadness. When he saw Shasi from the battlefield, she was enthusiastic and cheerful, a strong and brave girl.
Sitting on the elevator to the lower area, Marian felt that the light he could see was getting less and less, until he sank into the ground, and there was nothing but the trembling light of the light bulb.
Shasi was tiptoeing and falling down, and it seemed that the bad situation here did not affect her mood.
"Ms. Shasi, can I ask a question?"
Although Shasi did not answer, Marian could read the meaning of "please" from her lively and beautiful eyes.
"Don't you feel sad? I'm not saying that your optimistic mood is bad, but facing the current nest, it's hard for me to maintain my mood like you. Do you have any secrets?" After listening, Shasi covered her mouth and smiled softly. She looked at Marian seriously, "I also felt sad and scared at first. Many of my sisters went to the battlefield and I never saw them again. They couldn't even find their bodies." Marian looked at the sad Shasi and felt a little pain in his heart. He felt that he wanted to smooth Shasi's frown so that she wouldn't be so sad. "At that time, I was walking alone on the battlefield. I couldn't find anyone who could save me. I looked at the shells flying across the sky and tightly grasped the gun in my hand."
"Just then, I heard it. I heard a faint cry for help. I rushed over and smashed the monster that was besieging the wounded!"
"That was a poor child. His intestines were all over the floor. He looked at me and asked if he could survive."
"I said you will survive! I used everything I learned. I blocked the wound and prevented infection. I transported him to a safe and open bunker."
"It was then that I prayed to the Emperor to let me save a few more people! I rushed to the battlefield again and again, dragging one person after another back for treatment. Some people were already beyond saving. I watched them cry for their incompetence."
"Do you know what those seriously injured said to me?"
"What did they say?"
Not only Marian listened carefully to Sauce's story, but other people in the elevator were also listening attentively with solemn faces.
Sas wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and showed a bright and sunny smile, "He said: We fight not to make people cry, but to let more people survive. Smile, you must look good when you smile."
Marian looked at Sas, and he could already imagine the situation in the bunker at that time.
The air was full of the smell of blood and the bad smell of various internal organs.
The dried blood on the ground and the flowing new blood mixed with each other, and the seriously injured imperial soldiers looked at the bloody and tired medical sister Sas.
No one blamed the little girl for not being able to save their lives, but welcomed their death in a more peaceful state.
The dying people comforted the living not to cry for them.
"Believe in the beauty of life, maintain an optimistic attitude, and know that the empire is always invincible."
"I understand, Ms. Sas."
Marian looked at Sas and tried to smile, but as a bishop, he kept a solemn look for too long, and even the smile he made was so stiff.
"Haha It seems you still need some time to learn, Marian."
Sas's laughter stopped as the elevator stopped, and the crowd quickly poured out and then poured in.
The two of them began to work in the lower area.
After crossing several pipes, Sas and Marian came to a camp left here.
Many people seemed to have just finished working, and their bodies were covered with sweat that had not yet evaporated, shining under the light.
An army was distributing food, and they handed pieces of compressed food to these people.
"It seems that this is where we are going to stay. Are you confident?"
"You shouldn't ask such questions to a loyal servant of the Emperor. I am always ready."
"Don't be so serious. You are scary again."
Walking in front of a Krieg colonel, Sas made a Sky Eagle salute, "We are the doctors sent here. He is my assistant. Are there any vacant assigned rooms?"
"There are rooms everywhere!"
A man yelled at Sas unhappily. He could see that Sas was different. After all, there were only poor people and mutants in this place. Where could there be such a fair and beautiful girl?
This must be a nun.
The colonel turned his head and glanced at the man. The other Krieg soldiers picked up their guns and prepared to arrest the guy who disturbed the order.
Raising his hand to stop the soldiers' behavior, the colonel just warned the man with his eyes and explained to Sas.
"They are just scared. He has no ill will towards you. His children and wife died in the war."
"I understand. What's your name?"
"I'm Colonel Erica. You can call me Erica."
"Erica? What a nice name."
"Thank you."
Maryan looked at Colonel Erica and felt that this Krieg man unexpectedly liked to talk, and he didn't look so heavy and cold.
Quickly giving Shasi an address note, Colonel Erica then supervised the food distribution in this camp. They were very busy and there were many camps to go to.
Shasi and Marian walked in the hostile eyes of the residents. Although he was treated like this, Shasi still treated people with a kind smile.
Entering the shed, he opened the medical bag on his body and checked that there was no missing medicine. Shasi took out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the pillar at the door.
The bright red cross was so out of place in this gray area. Many people's first reaction to this red was the horror of the battlefield.
They left with their eyes closed, but no one came to trouble them, after all, the daily food was not enough to support them to do more activities.
Wasting physical strength is wasting food.
Many knowledgeable old people vaguely guessed that the current nest city might be short of food. The great famine they experienced in their childhood decades ago is coming.
Every morning, Marian can see Shasi sitting at the table, confidently waiting for people in need to walk in the door.
Until the bells that prompted the night sounded, the power of the solar lamp was reduced, and Shasi did not wait for a patient.
Maybe this is also good. Marian thought selfishly, at least he could sit quietly in the house and appreciate Shasi's smile and eyes.
No one came to disturb their lives, but Marian also knew that this was just his fantasy. They didn't come here for a honeymoon, they came to help the residents here and atone for their sins.
Such monotonous days passed for a few days, until Shasi went out for a walk, Marian heard the commotion on the street.
Looking closely, I saw that Shasi was protecting a child tightly, and the other residents were angry and wanted to tear the child into pieces.
The conflict between mutants and ordinary people is often mentioned in novels. But ordinary people on some planets also look abnormal. So mutants may really be monsters?
(This is the official standard for distinguishing mutants given in the daily article of the Military Affairs Department. Mutants are generally harsh environments + chaotic energy. Of course, it is the kind of chaotic energy that is not too obvious. The empire will solve the too obvious ones by itself. And it is also mentioned a lot in the background about some humans who survived the golden age and changed themselves beyond recognition. The Space Marines on the way to the Great Crusade have eliminated many of these precious humans.)
