Chapter 411
Chapter 411
Xavier never felt at ease since he came here. Watching Neo draw in the corner with a brush, he
seemed to see Ryan, because they were about the same age.
Suddenly...
Bang! A loud noise shook the entire church, and all the window glasses shattered!
An injured soldier ran in in a panic. "Colonel, take the children and run. The enemy is coming."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, countless bullets penetrated his body. He fell to the ground.
Red blood spread.
Gunshots sounded everywhere, and the bullets mercilessly pierced through the air!
One by one, soldiers fell to a pool of blood. The sound of bullets exploding and the screams of people
filled in the air. In an instant, the holy place was stained with bright red blood. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Nata stepped forward, hugged a few children, and faced down on the ground. But Neo, who was
drawing in the corner, was completely trapped in his own world due to his loss of hearing.
Seeing this, Nata was extremely anxious, but it was too late for her to run over.
"Neo -"
She shouted, but Neo still didn't respond.
No matter how skillful Nata was, she couldn't run to him because there were too many things between
her and there were several children around her.
A bullet shot in the direction of Neo, at this critical moment, Xavier stretched out his long arm and
immediately pulled Neo into his arms. He quickly turned around and dodged that bullet.
As soon as he escaped this disaster, an even more powerful explosion suddenly sounded!
Bang! The door of the church was blown up and the fragments shoot in all directions, which mixed with
the burning flames, hitting every inch of the air.
They were also completely separated, unable to see each other. Seeing the flames were about to
come, Xavier hugged Neo tightly, took a step in the smoke, fell behind the pillar, and protected Neo
with his body.
The whole church turned into a sea of fire in an instant. Fragments flew all over and fell like meteorites.
A few fragments hit Xavier, but he acted as if nothing had happened. He protected Neo and observed if
there was a way out. All he saw was the priest who was crushed by the pillar in front of him.
His whole face was covered in blood. If it weren't for his clothes, no one would recognize that he was
the priest. The whole scene is shockingly horrible.
Neo shouted hoarsely and he struggled to break free, trying to run over to save the priest. In the hearts
of these orphans, the priest was like their father.
Xavier was also shocked by the bloody scene. Even if he tried to keep calm, his heart could not help
but twitch. However, Xavier pulled Neo hard, pressed his shoulder, and motioned him not to go over.
He would go over to take a look.
Xavier avoided the flying debris caused by the explosion and came to the priest. He found that his legs
were pressed by the pillar, and the sharp iron penetrated his thighs. Blood kept gushing out. He had to
push the pillar that pressed him away to save him.
Just as Xavier tried to push the pillar away, the priest held him. His bloody hand grabbed Xavier's wrist.
"Don't worry about me. Help me take those children away."
The priest spoke weakly in English, then let go of the little girl he protected with his body during the
explosion ignoring his pain. Only then did Xavier see that there was a little girl under him.
The little girl's face was full of tears. She kept shaking her head and holding the priest's hand tightly,
indicating that she would not leave and not leave the priest alone.
Xavier did not want to give up the priest. He understood how important he was in the heart of these
children. He was also a father himself. Without his child, he would have no spiritual sustenance and
may have already given up.
Xavier rubbed the little girl's hair. "We'll take him away with us."
He put the little girl aside and put his hands on the pillar to try to push it away with strength, but this
pillar was very thick, and it was impossible for ordinary people to push it away alone.
There was another explosion not far away. The fire was burning ferociously, and they became even
more dangerous.
However, at this time, the children who were hiding around sprawled out of their hiding places one after
another. He saw two hands, four hands, six hands...
None of the children who saw the priest left, they all followed Neo and came to him. They stretched out
their muddy hands to save their priest.
The little girl comforted the priest. "Father, don't be afraid. We'll leave together."
She wiped the tears off her face and spoke to the priest firmly.
Seeing this, Xavier was also moved. He looked at the children and said, "I'll count one, two, three and
we push together..."
one, two.
When Xavier counted three, suddenly the children tried their best to push the pillar away. They made it.
The priest groaned in pain. Xavier took off his clothes and tied them to the priest's thigh. He squeezed
the wound to stop the blood from flowing out, and then helped him up.
"Everyone, hand in hand and follow me," Xavier said to the children. It was too dangerous here and it
would be even more dangerous if someone get lost.
These children listened to him, held their partners' hands tightly, and followed Xavier. Under such
circumstances, all they wanted was survival.
Flames burned all around, and it was difficult to find an exit. More flowed from the priest's body, and he
grew weaker.
"Mr. Jones, this way." Suddenly, a female voice came from the smoke. Waving away the thick fog, he
saw Nata with a gun and a soldier running towards them.
She also had wounds on her arm, but she held the gun in her hand firmly, keeping the enemy away.
She said, "Our army is on the way here. Mr. Jones, walk this way. There's a car waiting for you in the
backyard."
She had just safely escorted a group of children to the backyard, where soldiers were guarding before
bringing her subordinate down to look for them.
She signaled her subordinate to lead the way.
The soldier endured the pain and said, "Mr. Jones, follow me."
Xavier nodded slightly. He knew very well that he had to leave here safely. Arya must be waiting for
him. He said he would not abandon her, so he had to go back to her.
As they walked towards the backyard, a child was injured in his foot and could not keep up with them at
all. He fell far behind. Xavier handed the priest to the soldiers leading the way and returned. Just as he
was about to reach the child, a loud bang exploded between them. Xavier was forced to take a few
steps back. Xavier rushed over to check on the child after the smoke dissipated.
"Mr. Jones, are you okay?" Nata followed.
The child's feet were bloodshot. Fortunately, this explosion didn't hurt him. He picked the child up,
shook his head, and turned to leave. At this time, another grenade was thrown by the enemy.
Seeing that Nata was also injured, Xavier rushed to her with one swift step, pushed her hard, and
blocked the dangerous attack with his whole body.
Bang! With a loud bang, the pillar behind Xavier was blown up, and a huge thrust pushed Xavier's
entire body forward.
Nata watched in surprise as Xavier pushed her away, she held the child tightly and moved behind the
pillar.
"Mr. Jones..."
"He's bleeding." The little boy in Xavier's arms saw blood on his head.
Xavier's face was getting increasingly paler...
