Chapter 1697 Survival creatures
Buck wanted to jump out of the car at the first time, but the driver of the tanker behind him would not find himself!
But when I grabbed the quantum phone with my left hand, I turned over on the top of the wide oil tank and found that the backpack strap buckle that I tied to prevent the bumps was hung on the handle!
It is said that when the Soviet Union and China fought against Vietnam during World War II, many soldiers were killed by gunfire and unable to escape because they tied themselves to tanks.
But now it is the 21st century. Buck uses a special safety lock, which is very convenient to unlock. A braided belt with a completely different feel can be pulled. But in the moment, the roar in the air rushed over the head, and then threw a series of explosives far in front of the convoy!
In the silent night sky where there was only the sound of wind and the bumpy car engine, a series of gorgeous flames suddenly flashed out. The huge explosion sound did not transmit the flames so quickly in the air, but the high orange-red explosion clouds made Buck react immediately: "Cruise missile! Laser-guided cruise missile..."
The hand stopped when it was already pulling the braiding belt. The fingers unconsciously held the cold oil tank handle tightly. I felt the huge oil tanker under me stop. It seemed that there was a crash in the convoy. Many footsteps jumped out of the car in panic. The words "missile" and "escape" appeared repeatedly in the shouting of various languages...
But Buck lay on his back on the top of the oil tank and motionless.
He turned his neck unconsciously and futilely to see if the orange-red tail flame of the fighter jet would appear in the sky again. In Eastern Europe, he rarely experienced cruise missile bombing and attacks. There were basically agent wars there. Light weapons of about the same level as the IS army reached the level of anti-aircraft machine guns. He used air strikes in the air force. He had only seen them in Afghanistan. Now he was not frightened, but suddenly he felt that it was meaningless to escape. If these high-speed fighters targeted the oil tank convoy on the road, they would not be cruise missiles or precision-guided missiles, but commonly known as cobs, which were called sub-compartments, which were dropped and exploded into countless warheads in the air...
After running dozens of hundreds of meters, they are still within the range of this large explosion. Maybe they will die more happily after the oil tanker explodes!
The cerebral cortex is stimulated by roaring and explosions and flips, and now it extends to the whole body. The cold metal can on the back was originally isolated by the fleece jacket, but now it penetrates into the body, and the whole body feels involuntary trembling, and the feeling of surviving the disaster that passes by the god of death, which is commonly known as fear that will bring such a physical reaction.
A puff...
It seemed as if the explosion shock wave and heat wave from a distant place had only arrived at this time. It gently shaved off the skin, as if all the hairs stood up and fell down again!
Buck let out a long breath, as if this could relieve the fright he was.
He is a human being, not a god. When facing such a huge steel weapon, his feeling of powerlessness will cause many people with weak minds to collapse. Therefore, after experiencing the painful lesson of being crushed by the powerful military weapons of the United States in the late World War II, the Japanese particularly admired machinery and were a little fascinated by mechas, which was not without reason.
Then at this moment, Buck also heard a long shush from the tanker, which was much louder than his silent and slow airflow. Then the hoarse and shaking English sound was obviously even more frightened: "How many times have you been there?"
Another voice hesitated: "Three, three times... Let's go, we'll hide."
The voice in front was stubborn: "I want to guard my car. If the car is gone, I will have nothing. It doesn't matter if I die..."
Another voice was helpless: "Allah will bless us..."
The result of the debate was that the car simply drove out of the convoy, left the convoy with a very large target, left the convoy and went to the open space in front to wait. In fact, according to what Buck saw at a high place, many tankers were doing this. When one of the large trucks slowly passed by Buck, Buck, who was lying tightly on the iron can, saw a high baffle on both sides and a large carriage with doors at the rear, filled with various fruits and vegetables... and the piled wooden boxes, standard from the former Soviet style ammunition box!
These small number of trucks mixed in the convoy were given to the IS army.
Buck extinguished his urge to jump over, and might be able to find guns and stalks in the cargo compartment, but the cargo compartment filled with supplies was obviously easier to evacuate without this empty tank.
The truck moved forward for hundreds of meters, left the convoy and stopped. Some drivers and entourages began to squat and hide on the side of the road, and then what made Buck laugh and laugh was that some of them actually lit a fire to keep warm!
How obvious the fire is in such a night sky, the ground reference object, and what kind of attacks may arouse? Is this possibility not considered?
However, based on the driver's words just now, we can understand the mentality of the people in these areas. Anyway, they are so bad. If you can't keep warm, it will be cold if you die, which is not worth it...
People always burst into incredible vitality when they are special.
The driver who gradually gathered around the fire to roast the fire and chatted with him made Buck hear their words clearly.
It is still complicated in Arabic, Turkish, English, and Buck even heard Russian and Turkmenistan... Oh, it stretches to the former Soviet Union, which is across the Caspian Sea from Central Asia. Turkmenistan of the former Soviet Union has always been in the Turkic language family and is an old brother of Turkey.
Then Buck discovered the characteristics of this area.
Most of the seven or eight people have more than three or four nationalities and languages, but usually everyone can understand more than two languages, intertwined to help translate, and skillfully switched two or three languages in the same sentence, just like the pidgin in Shanghai, China back then.
Buck lay there and couldn't help but imitate the tone of his speaking. At least he could understand English and Russian, and Turkmen could also imitate a few sentences.
However, this time, the situation from close to seven or eight meters made Buck finally hear the movements of these people. After driving the tanker truck to an oil refinery on the border line in southwestern Turkey to unload the goods, the tanker trucks returned by the empty trucks would normally be concentrated at a large oil refinery on the outskirts of Reka City to wait for oil loading.
Buck, who has an oil well in Southeast Asia, has been replenished recently. He knows that crude oil is extracted from the ground, and the oil content in various places is different. The best light crude oil, for example, in some oil fields in Libya, is said to be able to be extracted and placed directly in the oil tank. The crude oil from most oil fields still needs to be sent to refineries to refine into oil and petrochemical products of different uses. The oil quality in the Middle East is also very good, and the refining process is relatively simple. Most countries in the Middle East have many refineries.
But these drivers said that this large oil refinery in Reka City is almost the only refinery left in the dozen or so oil wells around, so the crude oil from the Hasdi Oilfield was dragged here to roughly process it first, and then loaded and sent away. However, the attack just now seemed to be targeting the oil refinery in the suburbs. The raging fires still soaring in the distance seemed to illustrate this problem.
Some people have seen a driver who exploded in an oil refinery and still showed off their knowledge. Some people are worried. If the refinery is blown up, will my job be gone in vain?
All the characters in the war can only think about problems from their own perspective.
Especially when you get used to the scenes and encounters in front of you, it seems that it is not that difficult to survive.
Humans are really a creature that can adapt to various harsh environments.
