Chapter 33 The Road
The group of people crossed the border of Turkey in a dusty journey, and as soon as they entered Syria, a small convoy sped towards their location.
After leading the team to negotiate, they received weapons, equipment, supplies and three vehicles from the contact. They seemed to be very satisfied with the deal. Before leaving, they left behind another vehicle and four fully armed Aru.
Bi tribe guide.
It can be seen that they should often do this kind of business, and the process seems familiar.
The armed forces in Syria are very complex. Large and small armed forces established based on ethnic groups have divided their territories and are supported by different financial backers. The drama of fighting between you and me is staged every day.
The Arubi tribe is a relatively large surname in the area, with a family armed force of more than 5,000 people. Most people will not offend them easily.
If he had no connection with the local forces, Baishui would not dare to send just a small team of a few people to complete the hiring mission of traveling halfway across Syria to pick up people.
This time, the Whitewater mercenaries sent a tactical team of eight people, three Stars and Stripes, two British, one Chinese, and two Canadians, each of whom was responsible for the team's doctors, blasters, snipers, and machine gunners.
identity.
The leader is the Englishman Bull, who is almost two meters tall and has a muscular appearance. It is said that he is one of the elites who survived in the Imperial Cemetery.
The Chinese man's name is Zheng Hu. He is a little over 1.7 meters tall. He is relatively cold and talkative.
Four cars were speeding on the road, and everywhere you looked you could see abandoned, broken-down cars and garbage. They also met a lot of people fleeing for their lives on the road, all of whom were dragging their families with them. There was fear of war on their faces, and they were leaving.
The sorrow of hometown and confusion and worry about the future.
It was originally a prosperous country, but everything changed because of a war.
The most helpless people in the war are the common people. In this high-tech era, it is completely useless to rely on personal bravery to resist.
Compared with the prosperity of the European countries, there are dilapidated buildings everywhere. Those dilapidated cars and buildings also seem to be complaining to people about the injustice of fate.
After the car drove for more than an hour, Zheng Hu reminded him coldly: "Mr. Liu, we are about to arrive at the war zone. I hope you will pay more attention to your own safety, try not to talk, don't take pictures with your mobile phone, and don't show mercy to anyone."
Please don't leave my sight, you know?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Liu Xu responded.
Zheng Hu continued: "It's good to know. If an accident occurs, we will not be responsible. And our mission is only to find that person. After bringing him back to London, the mission will be completed. Do you understand?"
Liu Xu knew that he was reminding himself.
However, Liu Xu also knew that since Basha asked him to come to Xuguo, he would definitely not just let him come here for a brief stroll and then go back.
In terms of safety, with Basha in charge, Liu Xu doesn't have to worry too much.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several gunshots were fired, followed by a sudden burst of braking.
Zheng Hu said hurriedly: "Mr. Liu, get out of the car!" After saying that, he opened the door and jumped out.
After Liu Xu jumped out of the car, he looked forward and saw that the guide car was already emitting white smoke.
Everyone began to be on guard nervously, and the guides cursed and hid beside the Humvee.
Bull quickly asked about the situation, and when he learned that he had encountered the devils called SIS, his face was very ugly.
After a while, more than a dozen pickup trucks with black flags appeared in sight. The three white letters SIS on the flags were shaking wildly, and the convoy drove towards this direction quickly, bringing up a long line of dust.
Liu Xu also occasionally heard about the name of SIS on TV. They called themselves the apostles of Aladdin and claimed to exist to liberate the world, but what they did was just like the devil. They burned, killed and looted everywhere.
, as long as you don't join them, you will get a one-sided massacre.
The SIS convoy stopped forty or fifty meters away. From a distance, you could clearly see that several vehicles were equipped with heavy machine guns, and several people were carrying RGPs and pointed at them.
The conflict was about to break out, and the guide quickly took out the white flag and the Arubi flag from the car and waved it twice towards the opposite side.
Soon, several men with rifles in their hands and wrapped in black robes came over. After gesticulating with Alubi's guide, they cursed angrily.
Basha translated: "You traitors, you actually got together with these white people! Did you betray the oath of Aladdin?!"
After a long period of negotiation between the two parties, it was estimated that the other party did not want to antagonize the Arubi people, so they finally made a request for 200,000 U.S. dollars as travel expenses, or they could hand over all their cars and weapons to ensure peace for the time being.
.
After saying that, he pointed his gun at everyone threateningly, and some even laughed and shouted and fired several shots into the sky.
Bullets kept ringing, making Bull's face look increasingly uglier, but he could only give a calm gesture to his team members.
Arubi's guide explained to Bull that there was nothing we could do. They wanted cars and weapons, otherwise they would have to pay $200,000 in tolls.
Of course, Bull would not make the suicidal decision of giving up his car and weapons, nor would he pay for it himself, but he did not want to antagonize the other party. This is a vast plain, and it is the main battlefield of SIS. If he dares to use force, he will definitely
It will attract more sieges. Moreover, facing so many light and heavy weapons, these people will only end up in vain. What’s more, the financial owner himself is here.
Bull put on a serious tone and said a few words to Liu Xu. Zheng Hu immediately translated in Chinese: "Sir, these people have too many weapons. If we don't want to cause casualties, we need to pay a sum of three hundred thousand US dollars."
tolls.”
Liu Xu was furious when he heard this. This guy is really good! The other side quoted a price of 200,000 U.S. dollars, and they blatantly added an extra 100,000 U.S. dollars. Did he think he didn't understand and wanted to take advantage?!
Liu Xu said to Zheng Hu: "We have already negotiated the fee, and there is no agreement on this additional fee in the contract, so I should not pay for this money."
Zheng Hu knew that Liu Xu was angry, but he still persuaded him: "Mr. Liu, I suggest you not to quarrel with Buer. You can't fight him here. Besides, you still have important things to do. Be careful of long nights and many dreams."
After listening to Zheng Hu's words, Liu Xu thought for a moment and had to make a concession: "Okay, I will pay the money. However, I will only pay 200,000 US dollars, and I will give it after returning to London! Although I won't
He speaks English, but he still has no problem listening. Tell him for me that he shouldn’t look too ugly when he eats.”
Zheng Hu translated for a while, but he looked at him with some interest, and finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing the majestic convoy leaving, Liu Xu suddenly heard a harsh sound piercing the sky.
After a loud noise, the convoy that was still showing off its power just now was surrounded by a sea of flames. Those who were unfortunate enough to be surrounded by the flames screamed in pain. Only one car was not affected.
Liu Xu's motorcade drove past them quickly without any pause.
Who can predict when the next cannonball will fall? Will it still be so lucky?
At this moment, no one dared to be careless. The conversation in the car suddenly became much less frequent.
Even though these people often face life and death decisions, they are still full of reverence for death.
Liu Xu also could not have imagined that so many things had happened just over two hours after he entered the country of Syria.
The driver from the Stars and Stripes Kingdom in the team was cursing non-stop.
In the evening, the convoy arrived at Taratu.
Taratu is an important town in southern Syria. Before the war, its prosperity was supported by industry and the oil industry. But now, it is full of collapsed buildings and smoking scrapped cars.
They have accurate information. The target of this trip lives in the countryside not far from Taratu, which is the territory of government troops.
The rebels have captured most of the city, SIS has captured the oil refinery in the suburbs, and government forces are holding on to a corner of the west.
This is the most dangerous place. No one knows when a bomb or a life-threatening bullet will come out of nowhere.
Liu Xu and the others must pass through here to reach Tamaco Town.
Bull decided that he would take two team members, including Zheng Hu, two guides and Liu Xu through the city, while the rest would stay here to wait for response.
Under the cover of the night, a small drone took off, and the group of people quickly and cautiously moved along the damaged buildings.
The city under the moonlight is somewhat peaceful and harmonious, and the dilapidated houses everywhere seem to tell: This is the cruelest battlefield.
In this silent silence, the sound of walking seemed a bit harsh, and no one spoke.
