"Jiang Chen, hurry up and get out. IS patrols have noticed the unrest here and are sending reinforcements here. Nick's voice came from the Bluetooth headset in his ear.

"Understood," Jiang Chen beckoned to Roberts and shouted vigorously, "Hurry up, run." ”

With that, Jiang Chen rushed out of the courtyard first, then fired a gun into the sky, dispersed the surrounding crowd who did not know the truth, and then turned around to greet Roberts and rushed to the side alley.

"Damn! there's a heavy machine gun. With a swearing, Nick quickly began to shift, his position already revealed during the firefight.

Toyota pickups, loaded with heavy machine guns, sped through the streets toward the hostage-holding compound, and the soldiers standing in the pickup greeted the other soldiers as they roughly pulled the bolts of their guns and prepared to shoot.

Da-da-da-da!

The bullets rained down on Nick's position, and Nick had to lie on the ground and crawl desperately to the staircase. After touching the staircase again, he quickly stood up and ran downstairs.

The IS soldiers were not vegetarians either, and a 10-man patrol with rifles rushed to Nick's position, intending to surround him. However, the polar bear is also a battle-hardened veteran, and as he retreats, he uses his M27 to fire behind him and get closer to the parking position.

On the other side, Jiang Chen controlled the drone through the EP, while avoiding the tracking IS soldiers, and took Roberts through the firefight area without danger.

"Hurry up, get in the car!" Jiang Chen opened the car door, pushed Roberts in, and then controlled the drone to fly in the direction of Nick.

"I'm being dragged down, you guys go first. Nick gritted his teeth, glanced at the bloody hole in his left shoulder, raised his rifle with one hand, fired a few shots, and then ran down the alley to the side.

Although he was familiar with the terrain beforehand, how could he compare to the IS soldiers who patrolled here for a long time? Nick was ready to die, or rather, he should have died in that Ukrainian town a long time ago.

In this way, it can be regarded as a return of gratitude

Nick had a sinister grin on his face as he leaned hard behind the cover on the side of the road.

He didn't plan to run away, he wanted to let these bloodthirsty mad dogs see what a real fighting race is!

"Six o'clock, through that alley, quick. ”

However, the sound from the earphones made him slightly stunned, gritted his teeth, and he still ran to the alley according to Jiang Chen's instructions. Almost at the same time, he caught a glimpse of a Toyota pickup truck loaded with a heavy machine gun in his original position.

A drop of cold sweat slipped down, and Nick hurriedly followed Jiang Chen's instructions and began to move.

"That fruit stand, walk through it, there's a back door in the room. "Under the guidance of the drone, all the whereabouts of the IS patrol were exposed.

Although it was almost in the opposite direction of the vehicle's position, Nick still chose to trust Jiang Chen's instructions, kicked open the wooden door of the house, and didn't care about the screaming woman, the frightened man and the innocent child, and after aiming deterrively with his rifle, he rushed to the back door of the room.

Bang!

Nick slammed open the wooden door with his right shoulder and rushed down another street.

"Go straight through the street and turn left into the alley"

The stumbling footsteps and shouts of IS soldiers could be heard in the distance, and Nick sprinted through the street with his rifle in his hand, enduring the sharp pain in his shoulder.

As the footsteps faded away, they seemed relieved to lose Nix, and then they took out the bandage around their waist and bandaged the wound on their left shoulder as they ran. Under Jiang Chen's instructions, he soon turned to the position of the car.

"We need to hurry, more and more IS soldiers are gathering here. Jiang Chen saw Nick, helped him open the door of the back seat, and then sat in the passenger seat himself.

Roberts sat in the driver's seat and started the car skillfully. Nick, who was sitting in the back seat, ripped off his shirt and changed into the clothes he had prepared to cover up his wounds.

"Where are we going?" Roberts asked, pulling the car out of the alley and looking around.

Jiang Chen stretched his hand out of the window, picked up the palm-sized drone, and then stuffed it back into his waist bag.

"Drive into the desert and the road is almost blocked. ”

"God, it's unbelievable that I'm still alive. Roberts let out an exaggerated sigh as he cocked the steering wheel.

"We haven't escaped yet," Jiang Chen said with a wry smile. He still underestimated the strength of those terrorists, but he didn't expect those people to react so quickly. Originally, he and Nick's original plan was to get out of Nick quickly and flee directly back to Baghdad along the road.

"IS is much stronger than other extremist groups, it's not just a rabble, I thought you had a solution. Nick hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a wry smile.

I really can't help it, it seems that pretending to be B is too much

He really didn't worry about being caught by people from extremist organizations, after all, he could hide directly to the end of the world, but it was impossible to bring Roberts and Nick over.

Roberts seemed to sense the embarrassment on Jiang Chen's face, and then smiled and said, "Forget it, let's take one step at a time, it's impossible for them to keep staring at us without fighting." ”

With that, Roberts turned on the GPS map on the car.

"There was plenty of gas, and we went straight through the desert and around Lake Cersar to Tikrit. If you're lucky, that block should now be under the control of government forces. Roberts smiled helplessly. However, Jiang Chen couldn't laugh anymore.

There is another meaning to this phrase, in case now Tikrit is under the control of IS

I can only gamble.

I knew that this trouble was over, and I came here, and I also tested the performance of the equipment. Jiang Chen shook his head with a wry smile, leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. To his surprise, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to feel any discomfort about killing people anymore.

It's hard to say if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Maybe it's not a pity that the people killed died, Jiang Chen thought to himself comfortingly thinking about the various bad deeds of IS broadcast in the news.

Roberts looked very optimistic, humming a little song in his mouth and reaching out to open the mp3 on the car. This guy who is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he has even seen the pile of dead people, so naturally he will not have a bloody cold of this level.

The explosive BGM sounded, and the car kicked up a puff of dust on the sand and drove towards the endless sea of sand.

Every wisp of sand and dust here has a smell of gunpowder smoke that cannot be dispersed.

Xia Shiyu sat on the sofa wrapped in a bath towel, with a white towel coiled on top of her head, wrapping around her wet hair. The long white legs that loom under the bath towel are stained with tempting droplets. It was the height of summer, the air conditioner was on in the house, and she was not in a hurry to change her clothes and enjoy the coolness brought by the cold air.

It's a pity that the pretty face that is not inferior to the star, even when she is casual, her face is still that expressionless expression.

Leaning lazily on the sofa, Xia Shiyu casually cocked her long white legs slightly, raised the hand holding the remote control and turned on the TV.

"We continue to follow the next news, in the early hours of this morning, the IS group launched an offensive against Tikrit, in response to which the Iraqi Prime Minister said that he would defend Tikrit at all costs"

Xia Shiyu doesn't care about international events, and like most urban white-collar workers, she is more interested in Mango TV's variety shows, especially those funny shows that make people laugh.

It's surprising that people who don't like to laugh like humor

Also have news today?

Xia Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief. As for why, even she can't say why.

But no news means safe.

At least there is no news on the news that a Chinese man has been kidnapped in Iraq, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is strongly concerned about and warns its own citizens.

Why do I have to worry about him?

Xia Shiyu was suddenly stunned, unconsciously reached out and gently touched her lips, and a trace of confusion and confusion flashed in her eyes.

Shaking her head, pushing the smiling hippie face out of her mind, she lifted the remote control and changed the channel.

It must be because I've been so tired lately

Looking at the tricks of the host and guests on the screen, and the laughter of the audience, Xia Shiyu temporarily forgot her troubles.

The chest, which was slightly heaving because of emotion, gradually stabilized.

Night fell, Jiang Chen leaned back in his seat, holding a Chinese stick in his mouth.

In order to prevent the target from being too conspicuous, the headlights naturally cannot be turned on. It was dangerous to walk without light, so Roberts pulled the car over.

"I said, since you can't sleep, why don't you come to the vigil first. Roberts said with a wry smile as he leaned on the steering wheel. As for Nick behind him, he was already snoring like thunder at this time.

"How far is it?" Jiang Chen said with a sigh as he spat out a smoke ring.

"I guess it will be there in two days, the food and fresh water are sufficient, don't be too nervous. Roberts shrugged.

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. I don't know who it's trying to save?

"In order to get rid of these ten tons of gold, I also worked hard. Jiang Chen pursed his lips and said.

"Ten tons!?" Roberts sat up suddenly, only to hit the roof with a thud. Ignoring the pain, Roberts stared at Jiang Chen with burning eyes.

"Damn, don't look at me like that, okay?" Jiang Chen's goosebumps rose from this gaze, and he shrank in disgust.

"Ahem, hehe. Roberts rubbed his greasy blonde hair, smiled wryly, and sat back, "I knew there was a list of hundreds of millions of dollars waiting for me, and what else did I do." In the future, I will just help you pour gold. ”

"Don't think about it, that's all the gold accumulated over the years, and I've almost started the industrial transformation. Jiang Chen sighed.

"Industrial transformation, is there anything to do?" Roberts couldn't sleep either, so he simply lit a cigarette and smoked it.

"High-tech. ”

"High-tech, heh, Buffett doesn't dare touch that thing. Roberts flicked his cigarette roll dismissively, "I tried to start my own arms company before, but I gave up after a while. R&D is so risky that I only sell finished products now, which makes money faster. ”

"It's also more dangerous. Jiang Chen smiled noncommittally.

"Yes, but I love adventure. Roberts smirked and touched his nose, sidestepping the topic.

At night, the desert is quiet, and there is not a trace of people in sight. As the distance from the town of Hadith gradually increased, even the occasional sound of artillery fire gradually became inaudible. Still, in the quiet night sky, there was occasionally a short, fading roar.

"F-22 'Raptor', it should be the U.S. military on a reconnaissance mission, maybe we have just appeared on thermal imaging. Roberts raised his eyelids and said.

"Oh, will the American GIs jump down to save you?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"How is that possible? We're a white spot on thermal imaging, and there are a lot of similar refugees in the desert. Fortunately, there is no weapon on the back of the car, or maybe a shuttle of bullets will come down. Roberts said with a smirk.

Jiang Chen glanced at the direction of the sky, the clouds here were very thin, and the moon was also very clear. However, by the moonlight, nothing could be seen clearly.

"You say, I don't think this IS soldier is very good. Why are so many countries attacking and providing aid to them, but they can't get rid of this trouble. Jiang Chen didn't have a good impression of this organization.

It has nothing to do with politics, politics or nationality, and from the point of view of humanity, this organization that massacres civilians and abducts women is an abomination. Whatever the reason, there is absolutely no justification for crimes against humanity.

And this arrogant organization actually claims that the Western Regions of the Celestial Empire is its territory, providing training assistance to the terrorists in the Far East?

It's ridiculous.

But I just can't laugh.

"It's normal," Roberts shrugged, "IS is not a pure terrorist-organization, but a terror army plus an ambitious government. Many of them are even highly educated, and manuals have been issued on how to evade air strikes and reconnaissance. In addition, their opponents also have their own evil intentions, and Turkey, for example, has not wavered in his stance on IS for a day or two. ”

Speaking of this, Roberts also smiled mysteriously.

"What's more, if the war is agreed so quickly, how will we, the arms dealers, eat, and how will the unemployment rate fall?"

Jiang Chen was stunned, then laughed.

That's right

But whatever, the Middle East is far away from China.

But for some reason, he was reminded of the world that had collapsed due to nuclear war.

Radiation clouds that even the midsummer sun can't penetrate, the land where not a grain of grain can be reproduced, and the thin, distorted faces instinctively vent violence

Jiang Chen shuddered suddenly, stretched out his hand and wrapped the clothes on his body.

This desert is too cold at night.
