Chapter 67 Cruel Sacrifice

A steel core bullet flew out spinning, creating a ripple-like trajectory in the air. It broke a few strands of grass stems under the thatched house, penetrated a leaf, and then accurately kissed the person who had just closed the door. Eyelashes, the sound of a wave broke through the eyeballs and penetrated into the brain!

Then, the blood mixed with the broken eyeballs and the dead white brain spurted out.

Fang Lin's calm and indifferent eyes and the curling smoke coming out of the gun formed the background of this cruel scene.

The indigenous sniper who was shot through the eye and into the brain fell on his back. The convulsing warm corpse formed a "big" character. The intact eye stared blankly at the sky. One of them had already smelled death and decay. The breathy lineflies flew over, preparing to stay on the lifeless corpse to lay eggs. If you pay careful attention, you can find that the only thing that makes this indigenous sniper different from the others is that there is a clear scar on his left temple.

He is one of the people who survived the first step of voodoo invocation at the age of three.

As opposed to the circumcision ceremony. It is this deeply concealed but even more absurd and bizarre divine prayer ceremony. Select boys under the age of three and lock them in a clean secret room. They will not be given anything to eat for three days, only water, so that they can eliminate the contents of their stomachs. Then they beat the witch drum made of human skin in front of the altar of the god, and pierce the child's brain with a special bone needle coated with medicine!

The first step is to insert a single bone needle deeply into the child's left temple.

The second step is to use three bone needles to penetrate deeply into the child's temples on both sides and the Dazhui point on the spine behind the head.

Only children who pass the first and second steps will be sent to Voodoo for further "advanced training."

But the children who survived only passed the first step, even if they were eliminated in the subsequent ceremony. Also has extraordinary abilities.

The divine prayer ceremony is divided into four steps. These three snipers among the Zada ​​tribe are the believers who survived the first divine prayer ceremony.

It's a pity that they met Fang Lin!

The cult sniper had just used his senses to aim at Fang Lin's chest. Before he could lock Fang Lin's eyes, Fang Lin had already casually shot him in the eye. This happened to be the moment he killed the mercenary before. The sniper's approach!

Tooth for tooth, eye for eye!

What's more worth mentioning is that Fang Lin did it "by the way" while firing. I didn't aim carefully at all, to use an inappropriate metaphor. It's like holding a heavy machine gun while playing CS and holding the trigger. When the flames from the muzzle spurt out and tremble and jump rapidly, a stray bullet gently and deftly blows off this guy's head!

"You are not qualified to let me aim at all..." Fang Lin fully explained this point with his faint smile and casual movements.

In the dense rain of bullets, Fang Lin had long understood the endurance limit of the land warrior's body armor before the body armor failed. He jumped down one step ahead, with a large amount of smoke pouring out of his body, and the sound of the hot warhead embedded in the inner layer of the body armor falling.

The mercenaries next to them were stunned, and they suddenly realized something. That is, I am afraid that this young man who looks very bookish does not seem to be a weak person who needs their protection, but I am afraid that they will still need his care at some point!

After Fang Lin put on another set of Land Warrior individual combat equipment, he killed a sniper among the cultists again. However, the remaining cultist who was still alive at this time passed step ii and was eliminated in step iii. Their strength was even higher than that of the two people killed by Fang Lin, so he could feel the vastness and terror of Fang Lin's mental power, so he survived until now without shooting at Fang Lin.

But what is supposed to come will always come. The remaining cultist took advantage of Fang Lin, who was standing at a height, to quickly switch magazines and screamed suddenly. Flying out from the bunker, golden light flashed in the darkness. The butt of his AK47 gun was made of gold!

Golden ak!

This guy has thought everything through. Fang Lin was changing bullets = he couldn't shoot = he was absolutely safe. He turned sideways in the air and pointed the gun at Fang Lin's right eye within a few tenths of a second. He originally wanted to see Fang Lin's fearful expression, but what appeared in his eyes was Fang Lin's smile.

With a "pop" sound, the cultist's finger convulsively pulled the trigger, and a series of bullets flew out. The "ta-ta-ta-ta" hit caused sparks to fly from the protective steel plate of the helmet next to Fang Lin's eyes. Just a centimeter closer. It was a tragic death that would break the brain and break the skull.

But Fang Lin just smiled flatly, without even blinking his eyelids. From the perspective of the enemy's muzzle, he has completely simulated the flight trajectory of each bullet. There is no danger at all. What's more, the land warrior's defensive ability is just a cover. Even if there is any deviation, Fang Lin will not be in danger. You can use the long-range attack shield of the Stubborn Accessory to completely absorb the impact of bullets.

At the same time, in the darkness, an indescribable pillar of fire spurted out, sweeping across like a fire dragon. The pillar of fire was composed of fiery bullets splashed down like a storm. At the moment when the remaining cultist fired at Fang Lin, Lin Yinxiu had already picked up the six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun next to him with one hand. Under Fang Lin's mental detection, the cultist's body was covered with blood. His muscles were contracting, his breathing rhythm was undisturbed, and he hadn't even jumped yet. Lin Yinxiu had already pulled the trigger of the six-barreled heavy machine gun, which meant that the unlucky guy jumped out and hit the terrifying fiery steel storm!

When the cultist landed on the ground, he was no different from a tattered sack.

What followed was naturally a massacre.

Both sides have seen blood and have hatred, so they can only use their lives to wash their hands.

At the end of this battle, seven mercenaries were killed, which was a rare low number of casualties. The Zada ​​tribe was completely exterminated. At this time, Fang Lin used mental detection to search the village, but found nothing. On the other hand, Lin Yinxiu's brows furrowed and she began to close her eyes and slowly turned around, walking towards the center of the village. She circled back and forth in one place several times and stamped her feet suddenly! Amidst the flying dust and gravel, a deep well suddenly appeared there.

From the corner of his eye, Fang Lin saw dark brown blood stains on the broken stone slab, which mysteriously formed a incomplete symbol. I think this is the reason why my mental power detection is blocked. Lin Yinxiu had already closed his eyes and jumped into the well. After falling more than ten meters, she reached out with one hand and hooked the well wall, then spun in the air and kicked a heavy wooden door on the well wall.

The wooden door immediately cracked and dented, finally cracking open with an overwhelming sound. Lin Yinxiu rolled lightly and flexibly in the air and landed on the ground. However, she smelled a strong smell in her nose. The space hidden behind the wooden door was extremely wide. There was a huge and ferocious smelly beast in the darkness, and it suddenly pounced towards her!

That's a huge brown crocodile!

This terrifying giant beast is 10 meters long. The long snout is sharp and full of sharp teeth. The opening and closing movements are undoubtedly reminiscent of electric iron pliers. This terrible beast usually lives in some estuaries and coastal waters in Southeast Asia, northern Australia and New Guinea. I don’t know why it appears here!

Lin Yinxiu hit the giant crocodile's snout with a backhand punch. The strength of her punch was extraordinary. Even the monster's monster power was completely unable to resist and was knocked crooked. The sharp teeth scraped against the hard stone wall, making a harsh sound.

But Lin Yinxiu was also hit by a huge tail that came from the sky! With a "pop" sound, he reluctantly covered his chest with both hands and hit the stone wall behind him heavily!

This thrust came without any warning, and it felt like the giant crocodile just opened its mouth and bit out. But its long tail arrived first, flying onto Lin Yinxiu's back like an unforgettable kiss!

But Lin Yinxiu, who was hit hard, had just hit the stone wall behind, and her whole body had already bounced up. An ordinary person would have had dozens of bones broken, but she had only suffered some skin injuries at most. That’s all. The giant crocodile's movements are quite agile. After rolling a few times, he just got up. Lin Yin's sleeves were already swaying like a shadow, and his slender white hands held the giant beast's up and down kisses. With a sudden force, blood flew out, and its nearly three-meter-long upper and lower kisses were torn apart alive, and blood flowed all over the ground from its internal organs!

The bite force of the crocodile is huge, so how can it stand up to me!

If you are strong in this area, then I will attack your strongest point!

For a moment, the stone room was filled with a fishy stench. The reason why Lin Yinxiu wanted to make a quick decision was because he was worried that the Mayan relics might be placed in this place. If the crocodile rolled crazily, it would be difficult to preserve it intact!

She closed her eyes again after killing the giant crocodile. As a Mayan war priest, she could clearly feel the position of the crystal skull, and strode forward. An old black man looked at her appearance in despair. He kept stroking the voodoo ornaments on his neck and muttering extremely vicious curses. Lin Yinxiu ignored his existence at all and swept out with one kick. He kicked the ball in the air and hit the cave wall next to him. When he landed on the ground, he was already a dead man with twisted limbs.

Then Lin Yinxiu walked to a secret room nearby. Under the weak light of the butter candle, the crystal skull emitted a mysterious and bright light. Under its refraction, the originally weak candlelight turned out to be as blazing and fiery as sunlight! Confusing and unusually bright.

When Lin Yinxiu touched the crystal skull with her fingers, she immediately felt that this seemingly dead and magnificent crystal had been trembling at a very small frequency. She also immediately felt her own blood and heartbeat. His breath resonated with the trembling, and for a moment it seemed that his entire spirit would spread to the entire starry sky. Until his death, the old black man looked at the crystal skull with greedy eyes, this strange treasure. It seems to have the energy to seduce people's hearts. If a person is not determined, it is easy for people to be unable to let go of its existence.

After Lin Yinxiu wrapped the crystal skull in the bag he prepared in advance, he hurried out of the well to meet Fang Lin. Karoka was currently directing his men to clean up the battlefield. A group of mercenaries began to drive in several mud-covered Humvees, and searched for the deceased's relics in a haphazard manner, and found quite a lot. Fang Lin didn't say anything to stop him, jumped on a Hummer, and threw down the mercenaries and the bloody loot.

The few guys who were driven away were all brave men who killed without batting an eye, but after Fang Lin and Lin Yinxiu showed their hands earlier, no one dared to say a word about his behavior. They could only express their anger in their stomachs. There was a lot of slander inside.

Fang Lin smiled at Karoka who came after hearing the news:

"The mission is accomplished. Let's go our separate ways. Your money has been put into the bank, and the surveillance on your family has been lifted. The land warrior's equipment is a bonus."

After Karoka confirmed that what Fang Lin said was true, it was not that he had no idea of ​​​​taking advantage of others, but even if he did not care about the huge power behind this man and woman. Karoka couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the black holes in his companion's eyes that had been shot through by bullets. Dispel any unrealistic thoughts.

…………..

The Hummer's engine roared powerfully, and large clouds of black smoke spewed out of the modified exhaust pipe. Even though his body was covered with mud, he could still feel the power of this Hummer, which is standard equipment of the US military. Lin Yinxiu and Fang Lin were wearing sunglasses, their hair blowing in the wind. They drove out less than ten minutes later. There were clear gunshots behind them, and it was obvious that Karoka's group of greedy people had encountered the other forces who came after hearing the news.

Fang Lin was certainly not a philanthropist. He left those expensive land warrior equipment to Karoka in order to attract the greedy forces surrounding him. Now it seems that those forces are not taking action because they are worried about the three powerful Voodoo cultists. Once they know that their worries are gone, they will rush to grab things faster than anyone else!

The greedy mercenaries piled all the looted property on the approaching Humvee, thus losing the greatest mobility advantage. They should have had the opportunity to abandon their belongings and get into the car to escape at first, but at that time they probably wanted to defeat the enemy with their powerful firepower. When I realized something was wrong later, I had no chance to escape even if I wanted to.

Fang Lin and Lin Yinxiu are naturally not afraid of these greedy local armed forces, not to mention that if the power of the reincarnations can not be shown in front of ordinary people, it is better not to show it, but their time is very precious and they have no time to tangle with them. So Fang Lin tried his best and let these mercenaries act as his pawns.

What's more, the two of them are connected to a certain extent. In the previous battles, he also showed his differences from ordinary people. All the Zada ​​tribesmen who saw their performance had been killed. And these mercenaries also entered the deadlock that Fang Lin had arranged in advance, and were invisibly destined to be silenced.

The place where the two of them are going now is naturally the ruins of the Mayan temple where the crystal skull was found, where they should be able to find a way to use the crystal skull. before coming here. Lin Yinxiu has spent a huge sum of money to rent three satellites. Through a special satellite positioning system, they can accurately determine the scenery on the ground to the centimeter range. Fang Lin took out a silver communicator the size of a mobile phone from his pocket, and the long antenna stretched out automatically. The satellites in the sky began to faithfully perform their missions.

"There are pursuers 3287 meters behind you. They are three off-road jeeps with seven people on them. The firepower is very fierce, but according to their traveling speed, it is impossible to close the distance between you."

It was Xin Yuan who came to analyze intelligence work for Fang Lin and the others. He had nothing to do and was most suitable for the job of communicating directly with Fang Lin and the others. If it were someone else, he would easily be exposed to some internal core nightmares. The world's secrets led to the fate of being silenced.

Fang Lin said calmly:

"First, derive a detailed topographic map from our place to the ruins of the Mayan temple. I will memorize it to avoid the situation where the satellite contact went out of control last time."

The terrain in this area is quite complex, with rolling deserts. There are vast grasslands and deep rift valleys, but the ruins of the Mayan temple are in the relatively humid tropical rainforest. Therefore, even with Fang Lin's abnormal memory, it took him nearly five minutes to barely memorize the rough terrain and routes around him.

At this time, Xin Yuan's voice suddenly became a little strange:

"Be careful, there is a dry river in front of you. I just seemed to see something moving on the river bed, but when I looked carefully, there was nothing. But I am sure something has appeared."

"Capture the thief and capture the king." Fang Lin suddenly said such a meaningless sentence, and then nodded. As soon as his eyes were closed, the mental power detection had been extended, traveling around like ripples. Lin Yinxiu directly pulled out a bright stabbing sword made of titanium alloy from behind. In view of the last crisis, the beautiful lady Lin specially brought four of them with her at this time. This is also in line with her Mayan female war ritual weapon. Mastery of identity.

She did a backflip and stood on the back of the Hummer, with her body arched, even though the steel monster was moving at an average speed of 80 kilometers per hour. But Lin Yinxiu didn't move at all. The silver-white rapiers held tightly in both hands are crossed and scissored, like a taut bow, ready to go at any time!

Before the saying "Catch the leader first, catch the thief", there is another saying, "Shoot the horse first, shoot the man". The four meaningless words that Fang Lin suddenly said were actually reminding Lin Yinxiu to take precautions. To avoid the enemy attacking the Hummer he was driving, without the tools to travel at high speed on the grassland, it would take a lot of trouble to deal with the pursuers behind him. Soon. The dry river in front appeared in front of Fang Lin and his team.

On the tropical grassland, this kind of river that appears in the rainy season and disappears in the dry season is very common. The river that Fang Lin and his team are facing also revealed a dry riverbed with crisscross cracks left by the scorching sun. Those cracks crisscrossed like terrible scars.

Fang Lin blasted the accelerator, and a thick black smoke rose. Just as he slowed down and drove down the riverbed, mud splashed, and two figures jumped out of it. Very strong and agile, they were two naked black men, revealing only their white teeth and a pair of shining eyes, holding wooden spears that did not look sharp.

Strangely, the two black men emerged from the mud in the riverbed without any dirt on their bodies, their skin was shiny and smooth, full of the throbbing of life. And the black mud that was flying around also emitted a pungent odor. It poured over them like rain.

Lin Yinxiu sneered. With the help of Fang Lin's mental detection, she had noticed that the two black men had clear scars on their temples and the Dazhui points behind their necks. They should be voodoo believers. The titanium alloy rapiers she held in both hands suddenly collided, making a clear sound, and then she stabbed up and probed down.

The titanium alloy rapier that stabbed upward attacked the neck of a black man, while the rapier that reached downward intercepted the wooden spear of another taller black man.

The black man stabbed by Lin Yinxiu stabbed back with a fierce spear. The spear was long and the sword was short. It seemed that Lin Yinxiu would be stabbed away before he stabbed him, but Lin Yinxiu's rapier suddenly accelerated, and in the spurting blood, the black man's neck and head were cut off together. The guy's neck section did not bleed, but the headless body continued to grow, and the limbs were still waving irregularly in the air. Lin Yinxiu took advantage of the situation and kicked it away with clever strength.

Five seconds later, a loud noise and blood and flesh flew together, and a huge empty pit with a diameter of tens of meters appeared in the dry riverbed. The pungent smell of blood spread.

But the sword that Lin Yinxiu blocked was actually swung away by the wooden spear!

Lin Yinxiu's two-handed rapiers are made of high-strength titanium alloy. It should be very easy for her arm strength and weapons to intercept such a hastily cut weapon, but the fact is!

The titanium alloy rapier intersected with the wooden spear, making a harsh sound of metal and stone, and then the rapier with good flexibility was shaken open alive, and slammed into the tail of the Hummer off-road vehicle, making a loud "bang"!

The tail of this military Hummer, the fuel tank is reinforced with special steel plates, even so. After being hit by this spear, there was an obvious dent, tens of centimeters deep, and the camouflage paint on it also peeled off! From this blow, it can be seen that the seemingly ordinary wooden spear is actually extremely hard, and the huge arm strength of the black man can be imagined. This guy showed a grim smile on his face, and was about to draw the spear and hit again, but found that a black gun muzzle was aimed at him!

It was Fang Lin who drove with one hand!

The bullet was fired!

But the black man actually turned back. He used his elbow to block his face. It can be clearly seen that there is a thick layer of calluses on his elbow, which gives people the feeling that the texture is like the horns of buffaloes. The bullet shot on it was actually bounced back. And the black man was able to protect himself in time after the bullet was fired. The reaction speed of his nerves and limbs is not much less than that of the reincarnation.

The black man protected with one hand, and the other arm holding the spear was strangely pulled back, and hit Fang Lin with the ordinary-looking spear. This attack was whistling. If Fang Lin wanted to dodge, then the Hummer would obviously not be able to be saved. If he didn't dodge... then he had to consider whether his body strength was as hard as the thickened steel plate of the Hummer.

However, Lin Yinxiu, who had already killed a black man, had recovered her breath at this time. She seemed to be broken in half. She turned around lightly and blocked the black man's spear! Then Lin Yinxiu raised both swords high, and cut down two rays of light from top to bottom. The black man had no time to dodge. He could only hold the spear horizontally above his head and block it. The whole person was smashed into the riverbed alive, up to his waist. The muscles on his face twitched. He spit out a mouthful of light red blood mist, and dark red internal organs flowed out from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been killed by Lin Yinxiu's full-strength blow!

Fang Lin stepped on the accelerator, made a smooth move, and used his mental power to take the ordinary-looking spear in his hand. He felt that the texture was unusually smooth. He took a closer look. Only then did I realize that there was a transparent layer of something like rosin on it. It turns out that this spear is carefully polished from a very rare giant fern fossil that was deposited underground in ancient times. The layer of rosin-like substance smeared on the outside is a secret medicine in voodoo. Therefore, it is extremely hard and the tip is extremely sharp. Even if it is a full blow from Lin Yinxiu, it can withstand it. It's a pity that the strength of the person who wields the weapon is too low, and he encountered Lin Yinxiu who was far superior in strength and agility. He was defeated under the absolute suppression of strength.

Lin Yinxiu took the rustic-looking one. He weighed the rough spear in his hand. Smiled:

"This seems to feel pretty good."

Fang Lin smiled and said:

"Then just take it and use it. You are a weapons master anyway."

Lin Yin waved his sleeves a few times and felt more and more fit. The Hummer spewed out a stream of black smoke and flew away.

……………….

Fang Lin and the others abandoned their car at the edge of the primeval forest, and then went down the river. After a long trek, they finally saw this Mayan ruins that had been hidden for thousands of years. It is worth mentioning that the pursuers behind him were also chasing after him, and they definitely did not miss the direction. It seemed that some of them were able to establish a spiritual and mysterious connection with the crystal skull.

The place is deserted.

That's right, it's desolate.

After thousands of years of slumber, the Mayan ruins have long been intricately integrated with the forest. Therefore, it is necessary to sort out its original appearance. For ordinary people, the best way is just one word:

"burn!"

The expedition team that discovered this place set off a fire that day. The branches and vines that could not be cleaned rolled up and disappeared in the fire. They burned under the hot sun for several days. The entire ruins were like a huge furnace, filled with soot and embers. . There were even screams and screams coming from inside. The fire dried out the lips of the expedition team, made their eyes red, and made it difficult to breathe. The fire finally began to subside, and the ruins of the once glorious ancient city were gradually revealed from the ashes.

Lin Yinxiu took the lead in holding the crystal skull and climbed onto the blackened Mayan pyramid, followed by Fang Lin. Every stone in every structure on the pyramid was different from the rectangular stones on the pyramid in the Egyptian desert. Each stone here is unique. The nearly round and curved stones fit perfectly with each other, so there is no single or identical straight line, no horizontal or vertical levels.

Each building looks curvy and streamlined, and is simply a living work of art. Those convex and concave parts. It goes up and down together, and after looking at it for a long time, it will even give people the illusion of exhaling!

Lin Yinxiu began to try to inject spiritual power into the exquisite crystal skull. Suddenly, this smooth work of art reflected the sunlight that hit it into dazzling beams of light. Lin Yinxiu's sight touched the pupils of the crystal skull. , suddenly seemed to be hypnotized and stared at the skull in a daze! She only felt that her spiritual power was spreading crazily towards the sky, as if she was longing to be bathed in the sun's rays. Although it is extremely hot, my heart is eager to rush towards the eternal glory!

Suddenly, just when Lin Yinxiu could hardly control herself, she felt a gentle force cutting off her mental power. It was like an umbrella stretched out from the thorn, blocking the blazing sun and cooling the body. It was Fang Lin who noticed her abnormality and came to help.

"Be careful." Fang Lin only said these two words. His mental power is much stronger than Lin Yinxiu, so he can feel even more that this Mayan pyramid is like a deep black hole. However, because of Lin Yinxiu's identity, he seemed to be just mysterious and not dangerous.

Lin Yinxiu gasped a few times and drank some water. In this gap, Fang Lin also pressed his hand on the crystal skull, but he only pressed it lightly and immediately took it back with a frown. He shook his head slightly and said:

"No. My current mental power may be able to penetrate it through violence, but it is not possible to make it work. Unless I can wear equipment."

At this moment, Lin Yinxiu suddenly felt that something was not right around him, as if the entire ruins had "come alive". To put it more concisely, it means more popularity. If we say that this place looked like a haunted house that had been abandoned for more than ten years. Then at this moment, it was as if the venue had just ended and the people had left, still full of the aftertaste of cheers and applause, and the breath exhaled by the living people, in such a short moment, as if an ancient and powerful force had been resurrected!

"It seems a bit dangerous to activate the Crystal Skull by yourself." Fang Lin said slowly: "I guess there are either other ways to forcefully activate it, or you have to have higher mental power than I currently have. Otherwise, here Under the amplification power of the crystal skull, it is easy to lose yourself and be assimilated to the spirit and autonomous consciousness by the resonance of the crystal skull.”

"Of course, if someone can completely relax and still retain self-awareness without fighting against the crystal skull and blending into nature, then it is conceivable that it is actually what ancient China said about traveling between heaven and earth and being at the same level as heaven and earth. The realm of longevity."

Lin Yinxiu had always felt that there was something crucial that had not been thought of. She thought about it carefully and suddenly recalled one thing. That was when she first saw the information about the crystal skull. A cruel illusion had appeared in front of her eyes:

“…….At the top of the Mayan pyramid, a black slave, naked from head to toe, was pressed on a stone platform. His head was chopped off with an axe. In the extremely horrible blood, blood spurted out like mist, spreading and diffusing in the sun, and at this time the crystal skull was pressed on the neck of the still twitching corpse…”

“Right, the stone platform!” Lin Yinxiu reacted immediately and quickly began to look for the platform. Soon she found it on the rear platform of the Mayan pyramid. There were a large number of murals engraved on the sides of the stone platform. Based on the content above, it was quickly inferred that there were three ways to “make the crystal skull speak”.

One, the special ability person who could communicate directly with the crystal skull was called a priest at the time.

Second, it is a human with a high mental power (at least higher than Fang Lin after wearing the equipment).

Third, it is to sacrifice living people, and use the vitality and resentment in the living people's bodies to support the operation of the crystal skull.

This should also be the most commonly used method.

"Do you want to sacrifice living people?" Fang Lin suddenly thought about it and smiled: "It seems that a group of idiots are coming to deliver goods to the door."

Two hours later, in the dense jungle.

Four blacks were running fast with primitive spears in their hands.

Their legs were very long, and their running movements gave people the feeling of hunting leopards.

Among these blacks, the black man running in the front had a scar between his eyebrows, which looked like the scorching sun. The temples and necks of the other blacks also had clear scars.

Suddenly, fierce gunshots rang out! The branches and leaves flew everywhere, and the choking smell of gunpowder was very strong, but these five blacks did not die. They used their hands to protect their vital parts. The bullets hit the callus layer of their bodies, which could only cause a few white marks.
