"Reasonable? What reason can there be!" the woman strode forward a few steps, stretching out her hand to point at him and shouted aggressively, "We begged you the day before yesterday to send someone to rescue our child, but what about you, dragging your feet until now... Look, ten people! What can the ten of you do? You soldiers are really defying the heavens. Do you think you have the power to take on a building?!"
Suddenly, the soldiers beside her were as pale as death, each suppressing their anger.
They must not cause trouble with the civilians!
They had been rescuing tirelessly night and day, risking their lives at every moment without a second thought - why... why should they be spoken to like this?!
So many comrades injured or even dead - did they mean nothing to this woman unless her child was rescued?
Heartbroken.
Too heartbroken.
They couldn’t fight back, they could only maintain silence.
Yet, the woman was relentless, her trembling finger sweeping over them as she said harshly, "What is that expression? Dissatisfied? Angry? What right do you have? Your duty is to protect us. You owe us that!"
Among the group of soldiers, a slightly younger one clenched his fists and shouted at her, tears brimming in his agitated eyes.
The shout was even tinged with a sob.
Several soldiers turned away, tough men in tears streaming down their faces.
"What, did I hit a nerve?" the woman snapped, biting her teeth, and pointed directly at the young soldier, punctuating each word angrily, "You are all cowards afraid to die!"
"Fuck! Who the fuck is afraid to die?!"
Suddenly, a figure rushed in front of her, bellowing furiously at her with a face so twisted in rage it was almost deformed.
It was Willie Ash.
From the beginning, his rage had been climbing higher and higher, and upon hearing her words, he couldn’t hold back any longer.
What the hell!
His comrades were bleeding, waiting for treatment, and this woman...
This shameless woman, not only was she delaying their treatment, but she also dared to blame them?
At his shout, the woman was momentarily stunned, but before she could reignite her fury, Willie Ash, still not over his own anger, grabbed her by the collar.
"Speak! Who the fuck is afraid to die? If you don’t say it, do you believe I will kill you?!"
The voice roaring from his throat, Willie Ash’s face was fierce, his eyes wide with anger, now filling with tears.
"What are you doing!"
"Don’t get physical!"
"Which Forces are you from, believe it or not, we’ll complain about you!"
Immediately, a few other men walked over, warning Willie Ash with grave expressions.
In their hearts, they too felt that the aid from these soldiers was a given. They were anxious for their own children. It was inevitable that they felt some resentment towards the soldiers who were there to help.
"Go ahead and complain! Get the hell out and do it!" As he tightened his grip on the collar, Willie Ash glared at them with towering rage, "Damn it! If you don’t complain, you’re cowards!"
Hearing such a fearless response, the men’s expressions turned rigid.
"Comrade, calm down."
"Don’t get involved, or you’ll get dragged down too."
"Let us handle this."
A few other soldiers, unable to hold back any longer, hurriedly started calming Willie Ash.
They were indeed very angry and felt desolate, but their military discipline prevented them from acting out against civilians. They’d rather suffer the consequences themselves than to involve this comrade whom they didn’t know.
