Chapter 358 [Too Many People!]

A convoy of several cars rushed towards the east on the road, Chen Xiaolian frowned.

Because he saw a flag on the front of the first car, the flag of the United Nations Peace Organization.

These guys are so stupid that the lights of the cars are all on, and even on the first car with the head, there are searchlights.

In the dark, do these guys simply use themselves as beacons?

If the rebels have the heart to pursue, it is simply a natural and excellent target!

Chen Xiaolian sighed, but he still had some joy in his heart, and immediately rushed out and walked to the middle of the road.

A pickup truck quickly rushed over, and on it were several mercenaries in combat uniforms.

The dazzling searchlight shone on Chen Xiaolian's face, and Chen Xiaolian felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't do anything, but raised his hands and shouted: "Hans!It's me!!"

Several mercenaries had already raised their guns and were on guard against Chen Xiaolian, but soon, Hans's excited voice came from the car that hit the head!

"Chen, my God, it's really you, oh my God!!

The car door was pushed open, and the German man had already rushed up, hugged Chen Xiaolian hard, and patted him on the back fiercely.

Lin Leyan also walked over, Hans saw Lin Leyan, his face was very complicated, and he went up to give him a warm hug, and the German's face was a little guilty: "I'm sorry...... We didn't stay at the hotel waiting for you...... Forest. I'm sorry!"

"I understand, in that situation, you can't risk everyone for me alone. Lin Leyan breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm very happy to see you come out alive." ”

"I'm glad too, did Chan save you? again?" Hans laughed.

Several people from other organizations also got out of the car and walked over.

Chen Xiaolian saw a few acquaintances.

Two girls, and Weinstein.

But things don't look good at Weinstein. The Australian boy was hanging from one of his arms in a bandage. There are also blood stains.

"Weinstein was shot, we ran out and we were blocked by the rebels, we had to force our way out, Weinstein was a brave lad, he led the charge, but he was shot. Hans shook his head. There was a hint of sadness on his face: "But we still have two dead." ”

Chen Xiaolian didn't say anything.

To be able to run here is God's eye-opener, and there is really nothing to be satisfied with.

To Chen Xiaolian's surprise, he actually saw a guy.

The black minister also ran out of the car.

This guy looked a little embarrassed, but when he saw Chen Xiaolian, he still showed a hint of surprise.

Chen Xiaolian really admires this guy a little...... This guy doesn't look like a pure bale either.

In this strange team, he actually mixed well. At least being able to sit in the car with the head of the car is obviously a little different.

"My friend, I'm so happy to see you here!" the black minister sniffed and ran over to hug Chen Xiaolian. However, Chen Xiaolian just shook his hand politely.

"It's great to have you here. Hans whispered to Chen Xiaolian: "Many of us are injured, and we don't have enough weapons. I'm worried that if I encounter a rebel pursuit, I'm afraid...... But with you, you're so powerful, we've added a lot of power!"

As he spoke, Hans pulled Chen Xiaolian along: "Come, I'll introduce a few people to you." ”

......

This convoy was no longer simply the evacuation convoy of the peace organization to which Hans belonged.

At present, the composition of the personnel is more complex.

The fleet consisted of six vehicles.

Two pickup trucks. Two SUVs, one van. A truck (the truck is the one that Chen Xiaolian drove back before.) ）

There are more than 60 people in total.

Only one-third of them are members of peace organizations. Including Hans, there were only nineteen people (plus Lin Leyan's words, just twenty. ）

Six mercenaries.

Thirty-four people from various classes in the city of Kabuka.

Among the people of this various class, there are guests staying in hotels, and most of them are guys with suspicious origins, some of whom are engaged in the arms business. Some of them were in the smuggling business, and some of the wealthy people of Kabuka City also fled with the convoy.

The biggest headache for Hans was that in addition to the young adults, there were also four old people in the team. and eight children. These were members of the wealthy families who had escaped from the city of Kabuka.

What surprised Chen Xiaolian the most was that in the convoy, he actually saw an acquaintance.

That one......

Brought it back to the room that night, white girl?!

Chen Xiaolian glanced at Hans speechlessly.

This guy is really a real saint, and he actually accepted so many people with his family and family to join the convoy to escape. You can still run out of Kabuka.

Luck is not ordinary!

However, to Chen Xiaolian's surprise, Hans was not the supreme leader of the peace organization.

The supreme leader was an American named Schneider, a tall and skinny guy.

When Hans was introduced, this Schneider looked at Chen Xiaolian's eyes very coldly, not hostile, nor polite and affectionate, completely perfunctory.

Chen Xiaolian was not interested in sticking a hot face to a cold ass, since the other party was like this, he also said hello lightly.

Hans sighed, and when he left with Chen Xiaolian, he said in a low voice: "Don't mind, that guy is a bureaucrat, and he is a special commissioner sent by the United Nations, so we are now under his command for the time being." However, he didn't take care of things very much, so everyone listened to me. ”

Chen Xiaolian nodded.

Compared with Schneider's indifferent attitude, and the attitude of the other guy, Chen Xiaolian was a little unhappy.

A mercenary leader named Randall.

The six mercenaries were hired by the peace organization to take charge of all their security affairs in Kambia.

This Randall is the mercenary captain, a guy who is about forty years old.

The first time Chen Xiaolian saw this Randall, he felt that there was something unkind in the other party's eyes.

Really!

"You're the one who saved Hans and them?" Randall squeezed out a very cold smile and shook hands with Chen Xiaolian.

His palms are rough.

"I heard that you are very powerful, when you saved Hans and them, you single-handedly killed a group of rebels?" Randall's tone was obviously a little sarcastic and even provocative, "I have never seen such a powerful person - not in the black water." ”

Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows: "That was just a sneak attack." And. Most of those guys are not regular troops, those rebels are a rabble, and it is estimated that a few people can join in military uniforms. ”

"Also, when ordinary people are panicking, where can they distinguish what is a professional soldier and what is a chaotic person. Perhaps Hans and the others mistook a few rebel rebels for a few gun-wielding rebel regulars. Randall's words were unkind.

Chen Xiaolian didn't bother with this guy's nonsense, so he simply closed his mouth.

Randall looked Chen Xiaolian up and down: "How old are you?"

"It's none of your business. Chen Xiaolian smiled faintly.

Randall's face was a little ugly, but he quickly shifted his target.

He saw Lin Leyan.

"Hey, you, Miss Lin!" Randall strode over and stared at Lin Leyan: "You ran out......? Where's James, who's protecting you?

Lin Leyan was stunned, and when he saw Randall, Lin Leyan's face showed a sad expression: "Very, I'm sorry...... James, he's dead. We were trapped in a store by a mob of thugs. James was killed by them......"

"Dead?!" Randall's eyes widened - the expression on his face was not so much sadness as more resentment and annoyance, "He's dead? was beaten to death by the thugs?

Lin Leyan glanced at Chen Xiaolian: "He saved me." ”

"You're you again?" Randall squinted at Chen Xiaolian, "My brother is a professionally trained professional soldier. He died at the hands of the mob, but you rescued the man......? I don't buy it. ”

Chen Xiaolian was also a little unhappy in his heart, he pulled Lin Leyan behind him, stretched out his hands to look at this Randall, and said coldly: "Then what do you want?"

"It's simple, I need an explanation! One of my men protected this woman out, and a weak woman came back. My battle-hardened man is dead. Such a story can't be made up even in Hollywood. ”

Chen Xiaolian also narrowed his eyes. He was patient and said slowly, "I regret that you lost one of your subordinates. But facts are facts, and there is nothing to buy or not buy. You accept it or not, it's true. ”

Randall raised an eyebrow.

Behind him. The two mercenaries also walked up with cold faces.

"Hey!What are you doing!!"

Hans strode over and stopped between Chen Xiaolian and Randall, the German was very annoyed and looked at Randall: "Mr. Randall, what are you doing? We hired you to ensure the safety of our personnel, not to interrogate our members!"

"One of my men died. I need an explanation, a reasonable explanation!" Randall bit the word "reasonable" very hard.

Lin Leyan pulled away Chen Xiaolian and stepped forward: "Mr. Randall, James died to protect me. I'm very, very sorry!"

"Why aren't you dead!!" Randall's face suddenly turned red.

"Watch your words!" Hans was furious, suddenly shoved Randall, and said loudly, "Randall!

Randall stared at Hans deadly, but the two mercenaries beside him quietly pulled him.

Randall suddenly took a deep breath and made a gesture to Chen Xiaolian and Lin Leyan.

Two fingers pointed to his eyes, pointing at Chen Xiaolian and Lin Leyan.

This gesture means: Be careful! I'll be watching you!

Randall was pulled away.

Hans looked at the back of this unruly mercenary, frowned, and whispered to Chen Xiaolian: "I'm sorry...... I don't think he had any ill will. It's just that...... James, who died, was his younger brother. ”

Chen Xiaolian glanced at Hans with some surprise.

"That's the way it is. He may be overly sad, sad and angry in his heart, so that he will transfer such emotions to you, and when he calms down, he will be fine. ”

Chen Xiaolian nodded, no matter how bad he was, he would not be like a guy who lost a loved one. But. Seeing that this guy's mood was abnormal, Chen Xiaolian was not interested in going up to make up for it.

If it is according to Chen Xiaolian's temper, he can walk away, with his ability, what rebel encirclement can't break out?

But seeing Lin Leyan, who was silent on the side, Chen Xiaolian sighed.

That's it. Send the Buddha to the west, just send this Lin Daniu to the border safely, after all, since everyone is friends, you can't see your friends in danger and walk away. This does not meet Chen Xiaolian's standards for life.

Hans originally thought that if Chen Xiaolian had such an outstanding combat power, if he could join the team and group up with those mercenaries, he could strengthen the security of the team. can see that Chen Xiaolian and Randall are not on the same page. Hans simply swallowed it.

Hans then arranged for Chen Xiaolian to join the team and let him sit in the van.

The teams were distributed in such a way that the Peace Groups traveled in pickup trucks or SUVs, while the rest of the refugees who fled with them were left in the compartments of the trucks in van trains.

Lin Leyan refused Hans's words to let her get into the off-road vehicle, and instead followed Chen Xiaolian into a tattered van behind.

Chen Xiaolian saw Lin Leyan get into the car, squeezed over and sat on his body without saying a word, he sighed, and whispered in Chinese: "You don't have to be like this." ”

Lin Leyan shook his head. The look was very serious: "I'm going to follow you." ”

Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

The team rested for a while. Just got back on the road, this time in the big army, surrounded by people, Lin Leyan seemed to be a little more relaxed.

This is true of human nature in general, and if there are many companions around you, then it will naturally bring a sense of security.

It's Chen Xiaolian. He didn't relax, just silently looked out the window, estimating the speed of the convoy.

In this medium-sized van, in the last row, the white girl happened to be sitting here. quietly looked at Chen Xiaolian and Lin Leyan with strange eyes.

The white girl was wearing a red dress, but it was tattered and there was a lot of mud, and she clung to a fat middle-aged black man, who was probably some rich man in Kabuka City, with a thick gold ring and bracelet on his finger, and a gloomy expression.

The white girl clung to him, doing her best to make a gesture of birdishness and submission.

The speed of the car is very slow, the road is too rough, the further you go, the more you drive the road, there are even some felled and fallen trees in front of you, and every time you move forward, you have to get out of the car to move the obstacles.

Such a thing happened along the way, and twice in a row, Chen Xiaolian's heart became more and more uneasy.

It's getting a little weird!

If you talk about it once, maybe it was a big tree falling, it was an accident. But by the third time, it was no accident.

If it had been done by a deforester or someone else, who would have cut down the tree and not take the timber with it, but deliberately crossed it in the middle of the road?

Hans's face became more and more ugly.

Finally, an hour later, the car came to the edge of a large river, and this time, after the convoy stopped, everyone froze!

The river's bed is about 10 meters wide, the current is turbulent, and it looks sparkling at night.

It's not the key, it's ......

There used to be a bridge over the river, but at this moment, this bridge is broken!

It was blown up in the middle of the rush!

Only the piers on both sides remained, soaked in the river and washed by the river!

This was obviously the handiwork of artificial blasting, which completely shattered Hans's hopes!

The convoy stopped under the bridge by the river, and when everyone got out of the car and saw the scene in front of them, many people cried in despair, and some people almost collapsed, so they screamed in surprise.

Chen Xiaolian frowned and walked to Hans's side: "Do you see anything?"

Hans gritted his teeth and shook his head: "I can't see it, but it must have been made by blasting." ”

Chen Xiaolian sighed.

Obviously, this could not have been done by the Zayed government forces, but by the rebels.

Among the commanders of the rebels, there are high-ranking people.

They took Kabuka in a roundabout way, but sent people to blow up the bridge over the river east of Kabuka...... Due to the poor traffic situation in the country of Kabuca, this bridge is the only transportation hub to the east of Kabuka! To the east, at least, is a dead end.

Both the army and the refugees who escaped from Kabuka City will be stopped here, and it will be difficult to run if they want to.

Maybe someone can swim across the river, but with the preparations, the equipment. Possessions and so on, don't even think about crossing the river!

Suppose that if there were government troops fleeing from Kabuka City, they would have to abandon their vehicles and most of their equipment and baggage if they fled here...... Even if they cross the river lightly, the government army, which has lost a lot of equipment, is unlikely to pose a threat to the rebels.

This abacus is played wonderfully!

"It's a rhythm that has to be caught all at once. Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly.

He patted Hans: "Is there a way?"

Hans's face was ugly, he stared at the river carefully, and whispered, "It's difficult...... It's summer, it's the rainy season. The water level in the river is high, and if it were another season, our off-road vehicles might have been able to drive through, but now ...... The water level is too deep. None of our vehicles can get past it...... If everybody swims...... I'm afraid that with so many men, women and children, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Even if it passes, it won't go far!"

Hans lowered his voice: "If there were no cars, we would have crossed the river and walked to the border." It would take us at least four or five days to walk on two legs! There are too many women and children in our ranks, old and weak. ”

Chen Xiaolian nodded: "Once the rebels chase after them, they only need to use a team of sappers to build a pontoon bridge in a very short time, and they can quickly catch up with us after crossing the river." ”

"Yes, it's too dangerous. Hans shook his head: "Perhaps...... We can leave a team of people here to stop the rebels......"

As he spoke, Hans glanced at Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaolian said lightly: "Let's not say whether I am willing to do these things for you." Even if I'm willing. It's a terrible idea, too. Interception? How long will it take? How can we establish a position? How can we be sure that the rebels will be here instead of going around and making a detour? Moreover, it is very simple that if we leave people behind, who will stay and who will leave? Staying behind is tantamount to death. Who do you think it's fair to let go?"

Hans sighed: "I was wrong. ”

At this time, a man from behind came up and shouted, "Hey, my friend, I have something to say to you, something important!"

Chen Xiaolian turned around and saw the black minister standing not far from the river with his stomach shy.

Chen Xiaolian glanced at Hans, and as soon as Hans waved his hand, the two members of the organization beside him got out of the way.

The black minister walked over in a few steps, glanced at Chen Xiaolian, and then at Hans. He swallowed and spat: "Without the bridge, we can't continue east, can we?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" said Hans.

"I mean, maybe, I have a way. The black minister hesitated and said quickly.

Hans glanced at Chen Xiaolian, and Chen Xiaolian spread his hand: "Don't look at me, I'm not familiar with him." ”

"Tell me, what can you do?" said Hans, in a nonchalant tone.

"I know," said the black minister, "you want to go east to the border, to cross the border to Cameroon, right? ”

"Do you have a better way?" said Hans, looking at the black minister.

"Of course!" said the black minister at once, "I know that there is a military dock not far away...... But that place is a secret, and the rebels certainly don't know about it, let alone the rebels, and few people in the Kabuka government know about it. That pier, is ...... It is used by President Zeid to transport smuggled goods on weekdays. ”

Bootlegging?

Hans's eyes lit up.

Chen Xiaolian's expression was very calm, this news, the black minister had told him once before, he was not surprised.

"Yes, smuggled goods! The president also wants to make some money, and these smuggled goods are transported by boat by water through this wharf, but along the tributaries of the river to the south, to the Congo. ”

"Wait, you mean there's a boat?!!" Hans was immediately overjoyed, took a map out of his bosom, opened it on the ground, and took out his flashlight to look at it for a while.

Hans's face was a little surprised: "Yes! This river is south, leading to the Congo! If there is a boat, then ...... Maybe by boat, it will only take two days to reach Congo. ”

The German looked up at the black minister: "Is your information accurate?"

"Yes, exactly. The black minister hesitated: "I am the deputy minister of transportation, and I have handled a lot of this business." And...... Now that I'm on your team, I'm not going to joke with my own life. ”

"Good!" Hans nodded.

He then called Randall and the other mercenaries loudly, and told the black minister the news in short words.

After hearing this, Randall frowned and objected.

"The message is inaccurate. Randall said coldly, "Even if what he said is true, who can guarantee that there is still a ship at that dock now?, in case the ship has already been driven away or destroyed by the time we arrive...... So what should we do then? The direction of that pier is asking us to go back!"

After a pause, Randall said quickly: "My opinion is that we go north, along the upper reaches of the river, find a place where the water is shallow, and then find a way to cross the river! Maybe we are lucky and find a place where the water is shallow, then our off-road vehicle can drive over." ”

Chen Xiaolian frowned on the side, and couldn't help but interject: "But it's the rainy season now, and the water level in the riverbed is very deep, so it's difficult to reach the shallow place you said." ”

"Then swim across. The mercenary said coldly.

"What about the elderly and children. Chen Xiaolian frowned: "It's not that no one can swim across a river, besides, after crossing the river, with their physical strength, how far can they go?"

Randall's face was indifferent, he turned his head to look at Hans, this Randall suddenly took a few steps closer, and said coldly: "Mr. Hans, now there is another issue involved, a very serious question. ”

Hans frowned, "What?"

"You've got too many people with you!"

...... (To be continued.) )
