Chapter 403: It's Messed Up
Through the unclean windows, Liu Jingxin saw that the streets outside were already crowded with people. The dense crowd held banners and slogans alof, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, moving in one direction and shouting some slogans.
Because the voices were so noisy, Liu Jingxin couldn't make out what the people were saying, but looking at the slogans with twisted fonts and lines, he probably knew that these people were opposing some of the regulations of the leadership.
Liu Jingxin had only seen such a scene in history textbooks when he was a student, and when he witnessed it with his own eyes, he felt a little excited and uneasy inexplicably.
It is often said that the wheel of history rolls slowly, and that the long river of history is turbulent, but it is really difficult for people who have not had a similar experience to understand the meaning contained in it.
Witnessing all this at this time, Liu Jingxin felt as if he had become a witness to history, which made him feel very mysterious.
Lin Jie had already packed up, and came to the door of Liu Jingxin's room with Brother Kui, and beckoned Liu Jingxin to go out to see the excitement together.
For most people, when they encounter such a scene in a foreign country, they will definitely mumble in their hearts, and even worry about the safety of their lives and property, let alone run to participate in it.
But Liu Jingxin was very excited, he cleaned up casually, put on his clothes, quickly stepped on his shoes, and followed Lin Jie and Brother Kui downstairs.
The security guards of the hotel and the security guards invited by Lin Jie were already guarding the door, looking at the marchers passing by in front of the door with serious expressions, holding guns tightly in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Pakistan is not more than at home, there is no ban on guns, such a chaotic scene, anything can happen, they must always be vigilant to ensure the safety of themselves and their employers.
Brother Kui took a pistol from a security guard, pinned it close to his waist, and was about to turn around to beckon Lin Jie and Liu Jingxin to follow, but saw that Lin Jie was helping Liu Jingxin put on body armor.
"Don't be so nervous, there are often parades like this, and with so many people protecting you, it's going to be fine. Brother Kui seemed to think that Lin Jie was making a bit of a fuss with Liu Jingxin's body armor.
Lin Jie said: "The scene is too complicated, it's always right to be careful." ”
Liu Jingxin This is the first time to wear body armor that looks like a down jacket vest, but it is very heavy, so he didn't wear it for a while, and he felt that his shoulders were pressed sore.
"With this thing on, you don't have to be afraid of someone setting off a hidden gun. Liu Jingxin said in a joking tone.
Lin Jie shook his head and said: "This is a soft board, and the protective effect is average, just for psychological comfort." ”
Liu Jingxin raised his hand and knocked on the body armor, and heard the muffled sound of "dong dong", so he asked in surprise: "This is a soft board?"
Lin Jie nodded and said: "Yes, there are also steel ones, the higher the level, the better the protection effect, but the heavier it is, and it is particularly inconvenient to carry, I have worn the IV. level one before, it is quite strong, but it is much heavier than this, and I will see if I have the opportunity to get you one later." ”
Liu Jingxin was confused, he didn't know anything about these things, but he didn't ask much, he just nodded with a complicated expression.
After the two of them put on body armor and loose coats, Tong Kuige walked out of the hotel under the protection of a group of security guards.
At this time, the procession on this road has reached the end, and it is not as crowded as before, only some people are lazily raising their fists and shouting slogans, I don't know if they have been hired for money.
A few people followed the procession for a few streets, and met people who joined in temporarily, but they didn't encounter anything interesting.
"Are they marching around like this?" Liu Jingxin asked Lin Jie in a low voice.
Lin Jie replied: "It's my first time, and I don't know." Let's take a look first, and if there's really nothing to see, we'll go back. ”
Just as several people were discussing the need to return to the hotel, the procession suddenly stopped, and the crowd was much louder than before, from the chaos at the beginning, to uniformity.
"What's going on?" Lin Jie asked Brother Kui.
Brother Kui has had a lot of similar experiences, and he said with a smile: "It's time to get to the place, and then it's up to the high-level to deal with it." In my experience, there should be people who come out and say something about promises, and then they either disperse or meditate in groups. ”
It seems that many similar demonstrations in ancient and modern China and abroad are in this way, but this time it is clearly not quite right.
Liu Jingxin and the others waited for a while, and suddenly found that there was a commotion in the crowded area ahead, and then saw someone throwing homemade Molotov cocktails.
The sudden flames drew cheers, and then everyone boiled and began to rush forward fiercely.
Brother Kui's face changed, and he let out a low "no", and began to beckon the security guards to escort them back.
Not long after they withdrew from the crowd, gunshots rang out in the distance ahead, and the already chaotic scene began to develop into a riot.
Some people rushed into nearby shops and smashed them, some people went crazy and destroyed public facilities, and some people started fighting......
"We have to go back quickly!" Brother Kui, who had been smiling, had an extremely solemn expression at this time: "This is going to riot." ”
The security guards held guns and protected Liu Jingxin and the three of them in the center, protecting them to retreat in an orderly manner, and although the riot had already occurred, it had not yet reached their side, which left them plenty of time to retreat.
They quickly retreated along the way they had come, first at a brisk pace, then at a trot, and finally into a wild run, and it was not long before they retreated back into the hotel.
Under the command of Kui Ge, the security guards of the hotel closed all the doors and windows of the room, and guarded the door with a nervous expression.
Outside was relatively quiet at this time, but soon there was a louder noise, mixed with gunshots, shouts, and screams.
Liu Jingxin now knows why this place ranks high in the "most dangerous cities in the world", the society here is far from being stable at home, all forces are fighting openly or covertly, ignorant people are easily exploited, and in the event of a riot, it is difficult for anyone to get absolute security here.
Although I just saw someone smashing the shop, fortunately no one stormed the hotel.
Everyone nervously stayed in the lobby on the first floor, keeping an eye on the movement outside.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Brother Kui blocked the window with a curtain to prevent anyone from looking out, so Liu Jingxin could only guess the general situation outside by the sound he heard.
The commotion outside lasted for most of the day, and it was not until late evening that calm gradually returned outside.
Brother Kui secretly lifted the corner of the curtain from the side and looked out for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "In the next period of time, my business will not be good. ”
At this time, the streets outside were empty and in disarray, with placards and banners scattered everywhere, and blood stains in some places.
