Chapter 405: Entering the Danger Zone
The martial law did not last long, and the upper echelons quietly lifted martial law, and I don't know whether they had caught the culprit behind the scenes, or they were worried about the further expansion of international influence.
One morning, when the fool noticed that the soldiers on the street had disappeared, and saw that people were walking into the street one after another, and everything was finally starting to return to normal, he ran to tell Kui Ge the news and asked for a few days off.
Liu Jingxin and the others could finally follow the plan, and after cleaning up, they didn't even eat lunch, so they said goodbye to Brother Kui and drove all the way to the northwest, rushing to the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The straight line here used to be only six or seven hundred kilometers, but the road was not very easy to walk, so it took two days to drive.
When he was in Kashi before, although Liu Jingxin encountered some special circumstances, he did not feel any danger in those days, but he felt a little nervous and excited when the riots occurred.
After a day of traveling, when he arrived at the area bordering Afghanistan, Liu Jingxin suddenly felt the danger.
On the way, Lin Jie made some introductions to Liu Jingxin, telling Liu Jingxin that although the area belongs to Pakistan, it is almost no longer under the actual control of Pakistan, but under the actual control of a notorious terrorist organization.
The car used to be galloping, but after entering that area, the speed of the car dropped significantly, and the security guards who were originally talking and laughing were very nervous, one by one, clutching the guns in their hands, staring at the window almost without blinking, and the driver also turned off the music, so that in addition to the sound of the engine and the "whoosh" of the car's bumps, only the sound of everyone's breathing was left in the car.
Such an atmosphere made Liu Jingxin dare not take a breath, as if he was worried that his heavy breathing would wake up the demon hiding in the shadows.
Through the car window, Liu Jingxin saw a desolation outside, and all he could see was scattered plants except for the slightly sandy land, and not even a human figure could be seen.
The weather conditions outside are not very good, the dark clouds seem to be pressing on the ground, coupled with the dust and smoke raised by the car, making the outside look foggy, the overall tone is yellow, giving people a very depressing feeling, and the atmosphere is more solemn.
Suddenly, the car paused and slowed down a lot.
"What's wrong?" Liu Jingxin noticed that the situation was not quite right, and asked the driver in a low voice.
The driver's face was very ugly and said, "There are gunshots!"
Liu Jingxin was taken aback, and he was busy holding his breath and listening quietly, but he only heard his own breathing and heartbeat, and did not hear the gunshots.
Lin Jie frowned slightly, and whispered comfortingly: "Respect, they are all very professional, don't worry, it will definitely be fine." ”
"Hmm. Liu Jingxin nodded, but he didn't really let go of his heart, but felt as if his heart had jumped to his throat, and there was a tendency to jump out at any time.
After about ten minutes, the car leading the way in front finally accelerated again, as if it had determined the situation and temporarily lifted the high alert.
Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted Liu Jingxin's shoulder, and smiled slightly.
Liu Jingxin also exhaled a breath of turbidity, and only then did he notice that his palms were already sweaty.
After more than an hour, the convoy finally drove out of this desolate area and into a rudimentary and chaotic residential area.
Through the car window, you can see a few people on the road outside, almost all dressed in white robes, wearing distinctive white hats on their heads, only showing their bearded faces, and their eyes are fixed on Liu Jingxin's convoy.
In front of this residential area, there was a checkpoint, and there were many people in white with guns in both hands, and they were on full alert.
The convoy slowed down and finally stopped more than a dozen meters away from the checkpoint.
The security captain asked Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie to stay in the car and not get down, then opened the door and got out of the car, and walked to the direction of the checkpoint with a few subordinates.
The bearded men of the unknown organization at the outpost immediately raised their guns, pointed their guns at the security captain, and shouted something.
Liu Jingxin asked nervously, "He'll be fine, right?"
Although there are a lot of security guards in their convoy, and they all carry guns and ammunition, if they do do something on other people's territory, they will definitely not get the slightest benefit, and it is very likely that everyone will be handed over here in the end.
Lin Jie's expression was very complicated, he leaned forward slightly, and his eyes looked forward through the front windshield without blinking, obviously more nervous than Liu Jingxin.
Compared with Liu Jingxin, who has almost no relevant experience, Lin Jie knows too well what the consequences will be once there is a conflict between the two sides.
Although Lin Jie was already so nervous, he was still trying his best to restrain his emotions, and whispered what he had said before: "Believe them, they are all professional, and they will be fine." ”
At the front of the convoy, the security captain stopped several of his men in place, handed his gun to one of his subordinates, and stepped forward with his hands raised.
I don't know what the security captain said to the other party, but the other party not only lowered the black muzzle, but also laughed with him.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jie finally put his mind at ease, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his sideburns, and smiled and made an "OK" gesture to Liu Jingxin.
A few minutes later, an off-road vehicle came running from nowhere, extremely fast, and the last sudden brake stopped at the checkpoint, and a bearded man in military uniform jumped out of the car and hugged the security captain warmly.
The security captain didn't know what to say, raised his hand and pointed to the car where Liu Jingxin was, and then walked over with the bearded soldier.
"What is this for?" Liu Jingxin was startled, thinking that the security captain was going to sell him and Lin Jie.
Lin Jie frowned and said, "I don't know, anyway, we can't change anything now, let's see the situation." ”
The bearded soldier and the security captain came to the car, raised their hands to open the door, and swept their eyes towards Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie like torches. The man had a very long scar on one side of his face, which made him look a little hideous. After looking at Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie, he asked in awkward English with a serious expression, "Are you Chinese?"
Lin Jie nodded, "Yes." ”
Surprisingly, the bearded soldier nodded at Lin Jie and said, "Don't worry, we are brothers." Then, he nodded to the security captain, turned around and left directly, and asked his men to move the barricade and give way to the front.
Liu Jingxin looked at Lin Jie with a confused expression and asked, "What's the situation?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "I don't know, wait and ask the captain." ”
