Chapter 281: People are doing it, the sky is watching, and the heavens are not looking at me
Pabrick West.
Not far from a canyon, a group of mercenaries rested leisurely against a tree with their weapons.
In front of them was a small, tattered tribe.
In the open space in front of the small tribe, a man was shouting in the local language: "As long as you go to work, you will have food." The land here has been purchased by Meda Booker, and it is not allowed to grow cassava, and if you want to eat, you have to go to work. ”
"To continue living in this land, each tribe must send half of its people to work, or else they must leave. Only work can lead to a better life, more food ......"
The people of the tribe listened stupidly, they had only taken refuge in the forest during the war a few years ago, and they had lived a good life, but they were suddenly told that this land was uninhabitable, and they were obviously a little confused.
"And in this land, civilians are not allowed to hold weapons, we are going to search the tribe, and now, everyone immediately leaves their homes, comes out, and is checked......"
When the mercenaries not far away heard this, they came lazily and lazily.
It's not that they don't have professionalism, it's because everyone knows that there can't be weapons here.
The so-called search is actually to drive out the people of the tribe, use weapons to deter them, and if there are thorns, slaughter one or two to let them know that they are afraid.
Of course, it is also necessary to take the opportunity of the search to destroy their food as much as possible, so that they have nothing to eat, and only in this way can they have to go to work.
This is the best coolie, you don't need to be paid anything, you just need to be given some food.
The so-called company buying land is actually nonsense.
This is unowned land, as long as it is occupied by a team of mercenaries.
If there is resistance, it will be destroyed, and there is lawlessness here anyway.
Of course, these people are definitely not here to improve the life of the tribe, they just need coolies to open mines.
......
As the search progressed, the mercenaries unscrupulously destroyed the food, finally angering the people of the tribe.
Anger didn't help, a thumping sound, and the tribal leader who dared to take the lead in the rebellion lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his black chest, which slowly flowed out of a red liquid.
Then slowly fall down.
The old men supported each other, the women hid with their children, and the men with angry eyes picked up their rudimentary weapons.
The thumping sound rang out again, and several people who tried to do it fell like sacks again.
The helpless tribesmen looked at the hideous weapons, and the only thing they could do at this moment was to prostrate on the ground and pray to the heavens.
The mercenaries looked indifferently at these people who were only wrapped in rags or animal skins, and prayed loudly, and they didn't think so.
If prayers work, then what are they carrying weapons for?
Who would pay them to come?
......
This time, however, the prayer seems to have had some effect.
Just when the tribesmen were about to despair, the wind suddenly rose.
Almost as soon as the wind rose, the sun in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the forest suddenly became dark.
Dark clouds, electric lightning, and muffled thunder.
A bright light suddenly tore the heavens and the earth!
......
A tribe on the edge of a forest is littered with corpses.
The few remaining old men who could not resist were prostrate on the ground, praying to the enemy.
They were not praying for their lives, but for a bullet to be given to them instead of the long rusty knife.
All of a sudden, the wind blows!
......
A few young men on the edge of the city grinned and brandished their weapons, pointing unscrupulously at the pleading woman opposite, telling her to hurry up and obey her orders.
The crying child next to her made the woman's face sad, but she had to follow the other party's instructions......
At that moment, a white light pierced the sky, and then thunder roared.
......
A helicopter hovered over the grassland, and the helicopter's weapon controller calmly controlled the weapon, firing at the few people below who were holding spears and even stupidly trying to knock the helicopter down with a stone tied to the rope.
Without warning, the sky suddenly darkened.
Then there was another light.
In the midst of the loud bang, the sound of thunder rolled over the earth, completely muffling the sound of the helicopter explosion!
......
An off-road vehicle was running on a potholed path in the wilderness, and the sound of thumping came to mind from time to time amid the dust.
A group of men with tattered weapons in front of them scattered and fled, but they could not escape the footsteps of death.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and the lightning flashed and thundered!
......
In the hotel room, Lao Zhao was sitting at the dining table, and in front of him, there were several pieces of barbecue meat that added up to seven or eight catties.
The vegetables are cabbage carrots.
The taste of the barbecue is very good, Lao Zhao almost took a fancy to it when he saw it, and when he ate the first bite, he decided to make it his favorite.
Others, such as fried crickets, he not only accepts them, but also likes them. But the same fried silkworm baby, he can't accept it.
Speaking of which, Lao Zhao is really not a picky eater, but there are some things, he said that he really can't swallow.
For example, the special food here is fried fruit bats and stewed fruit bat soup......
Lao Zhao Xin said that even if he could fly, he didn't plan to taste the taste of winged bats.
That thing is dark and numb, and you don't have an appetite when you look at it!
It's still a good barbecue, take a big blade, brush it and cut it down, and stuff it into your mouth twice to fill your mouth with a mouthful of fragrance.
Served with two bites of vegetarian dishes, it is oily but not greasy, and it tastes great!
Watching him eat, some people in the restaurant had a great appetite, and many people were a little dumbfounded.
Some well-meaning newcomers want to try to remind him that eating so much meat in one meal is likely to cause indigestion.
On the table on the other side, there were three strong men who had just moved in, two white and one black, and they couldn't help but start betting on whether he could finish the pile of meat.
In the eyes of others, the meat in front of him can really only be described as a bunch.
However, most of these surprised people are new residents.
The waiters of the hotel and some of the old hotel guests are not unusual, they have seen the same scene several times in the past few days.
Now many people already know that a tourist from a foreign country in the East lives in the hotel, and he hides in the room every day, and when it is time to eat, he comes to eat a lot, and then goes out for a while after eating to eat, and then he goes into the room again, and he can't come out until he eats.
This performance always makes people feel, especially the experience of the hotel, is faintly worried, is this tourist here to travel, or has a grudge against the hotel and wants to eat the hotel down?
......
However, whoever made them have no fried shredded meat slices or anything here, it is this kind of large chunk, let a carnivore like Lao Zhao look at it, they all think it is too enjoyable!
The key price is not expensive, and if you eat it at breakfast, it is free.
That is, Lao Zhao is very conscious, and he didn't eat a lot when he was free in the morning, and he usually just ate seven or eight minutes full.
It's a pity that seven or eight points full is a bit too scary!
Now it was breakfast, and the large pile of meat in front of him was the second portion he had eaten.
Lao Zhao felt that he might not have become an immortal yet, so he would become a monster first.
I can eat too much these days, and my stomach is like a bottomless pit, and I don't dare to let go of eating.
He didn't even refund the plane ticket, and he has been staying in this hotel for several days.
Come back on time every day for dinner, then take a walk, then go back to the hotel to lock the door and fly outside.
At first, I was in a bad mood, and I couldn't feel good when I looked at those scenes.
In his opinion, those outsiders can operate legitimately.
Obviously, most of the people here are very poor, as long as they are willing, they can give some benefits casually, and they really only need a little benefit.
But these outsiders are not willing to do this, and would rather let the armed people seize and plunder.
After a few days, he is now calm.
The freedoms of the West that I usually see on the news are really just for people.
Those outsiders, including many of the world's most well-known large corporations, have become robbers here.
They don't want to do that if they only need to have enough to eat, they don't want to do that.
It is to keep this place poor and hungry.
And then there is a part of the people, who come in the form of saviors, preaching their humanitarianism.
In fact, most of them are not all here to rob!
Most of the people who are really willing to help these locals are just ordinary people, with limited power and very little change that can be made.
Even because of other people's practices, these really good people will be despised.
......
The TV in the hotel restaurant is broadcasting local news.
In a cheerful tone, the announcer first introduced the investment of some large companies, and then began to draw pies.
It seems that with the entry of these big companies, something can change.
Then he introduced some current situations, and then followed by the reform measures of some large companies, building infrastructure for the local area, building roads, and so on.
However, Lao Zhao, who has been flying for a few days, can see that the construction of road infrastructure or something is actually for their own service.
Like the tribes in the forest, they don't even have a decent cart, so what are they doing on the road where they can run a car? The road is repaired, they can work, but most of the work is to give the whole family some food that will not starve to death.
Don't mention the salary, what the hell is that, who knows?
After the major news was broadcast, the announcer instantly changed his style, with a sad face: "Recently, due to the sudden change in the weather in the Pabrik area, more than four helicopters of the Mebdack company crashed, and dozens of employees were killed in lightning......
"In addition, there is the mining company of the Lomo Huadu Group, which has lost more than three helicopters and more than 20 casualties, for which the two companies ......"
Lao Zhao's hand to cut the meat paused for a moment, and then he continued to eat while looking at it again.
It seems that this company is quite big, and the hotel he is in now does not belong to Pabrik, and the two sides are not the same country!
Moreover, there are actually a number of helicopters that fly around and split by themselves.
Now I know that most of them are from these two companies.
They are all world-renowned companies, and the usual news is engaged in sponsorship and charity, but I can't imagine that they are all such 'charitable' companies.
Looking at the TV, the diplomats of the two companies also held a press conference, talking about their efforts in the local area and their efforts to improve their lives in the local area, Lao Zhao was quite speechless.
However, he remembered the logos of these two companies.
As the old saying goes, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!
As the old saying goes, people are doing it, and the sky is watching!
God don't open your eyes, I see!
......
It is usually a walk time to go out after eating.
took an umbrella from the hotel service desk, and Lao Zhao went out slowly.
Today's sun does not shade the rain, it shades the sun.
You can't rain every time you go out for a walk, this place is not a place where it rains every day, it's okay to have three or two times once in a while, if it's all day, it's amazing!
The streets that don't rain are unusually dry, especially the streets are not clean enough, except for the area where the hotel is located, the rest of the place is dusty.
A black child saw Lao Zhao from a distance, and ran over with a bag that looked like a holy relic that was clean compared to people: "Sir, do you still want crickets?"
Lao Zhao stopped: "Well, did you put chili peppers today?"
"Listen to your orders, let it go a little less. The black kid nodded.
"That's good. Lao Zhao nodded, took out a yuan and handed it over.
"Thank you, sir. The black child shook his thumb at Lao Zhao with a gratefully clenched fist. "Sir, today my neighbor caught a monkey, and my brother made a delicious ant sauce, would you like to try it?"
Lao Zhao said without thinking: "I don't eat monkeys, but ant sauce can be tasted." ”
"Then can I bring the ant sauce over after lunch?" The child was a little sorry to hear Lao Zhao say that he didn't eat monkeys, but Lao Zhao asked for ant sauce and made him not so disappointed.
Lao Zhao was about to agree, but when he looked at the black and thin child in front of him with a pair of pants on his body, his heart suddenly moved: "Is your home far away?"
"Not far. The child was stunned for a moment, then turned and pointed behind him. "It's over there. ”
"Then I'll go with you and get it!" Lao Zhao said.
"But......" the child hesitated.
"But what?" asked Lao Zhao.
"If you're going......" The child hesitated. "I'll bring my brother with you, will you come with him? ”
"It's okay to go with your brother, right?" asked Lao Zhao with a smile.
"Yes, my brother is very good, he went to school and knows a lot of words. The child said. "I can talk to you, that's what he taught......"
"Really?" Lao Zhao came to curiosity. "Okay, I'll wait for you, you bring your brother over. But don't let you run in vain, pay you first. ”
Seeing Lao Zhao take out another yuan, the child resisted the desire to take it: "I haven't given you ant sauce yet, I can't ask for your money." Wait, I'll call my brother right away......"
