Chapter 0293 - Chewing gum on the feet of the Bamiyan Buddha
Hundreds of corpses of Santa Ita's armed men were abandoned in the valley, where they would become food for crows and wolves. The convoy passed through the canyon and continued on its way. In this battle, several armed personnel of the White Rock tribe died, and the agents of the 101st Bureau also lost two. This is unavoidable, and as long as there is war, people will die. This is actually the best ending, if it weren't for Xia Lei, without the sniper rifle he personally modified, everyone would have died here, and no one would have left this valley alive.
Brad and his men discarded a pickup truck, one leading the way in front and one in the back. That's the benefit of paying, and although more than half of them have been killed or wounded, they still have to play the dual role of protector and guide. However, this is not because they have multiple creditworthiness, but because there are still half a million dollars left unpaid.
Tang Yuyan drove the car behind the armed pickup truck at the front. In addition to looking at the road, she occasionally glanced at Xia Lei who was sitting in the passenger seat. I don't know why, every time she looks at Xia Lei, she thinks of Xia Lei's ass, and what she peeks between his legs. So, she is also always blushing, embarrassed and shy for no reason.
Xia Lei didn't notice this, he took a map and looked at it, looking for a destination. The map is Tang Yuyan's map, with a circle drawn with a red marker, located in the depths of the Bamiyan Gorge, about 150 kilometers from the world-famous Bamiyan Buddha. The area marked by the circle is the destination of the rescue operation, and at the current pace, if nothing happens, it will be there when it gets dark.
"There are fewer and fewer people, if we can't go back the way we came, how can we go back?" Xia Lei broke the silence in the car.
Tang Yuyan said: "You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, didn't I tell you, there are several plans for every action, and this time is no exception." If we can't get back the way we came, we can go back through the Wakhan Corridor. Afghanistan borders us on land, and the Wakhan Corridor is also the ancient Silk Road, from where we can go back. ”
"Oh." Xia Lei just replied lightly, his eyes fell on the map again, swept the names of places, and secretly wondered in his heart, "My dad must know that I came to Afghanistan, and he may even know that I participated in the fighting, will he take the initiative to show up to meet me?" If he doesn't show up, where will he ......?"
These questions plagued him.
"You seem to have something on your mind, what are you thinking?" Tang Yuyan tentatively explored.
Xia Lei put away the map and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about how to get Brad's half a million dollars." ”
Tang Yuyan shook her head, "We can't lose our reputation, otherwise who will do things for us in the future?" Even if we don't go back the way we came, I'll pay the remaining half a million dollars. We are not short of money, we are only short of friends. Then, she gave Xia Lei a blank look, "Are you really a miser, are all businessmen like this?" ”
Xia Lei just smiled, his purpose was just to divert Tang Yuyan's attention, and he obviously did.
At this moment, the machine gunner on the pickup truck in front suddenly shouted, looking panicked. Xia Lei couldn't understand what he said, but Tang Yuyan exclaimed, "There is no one in the US military. Machine! ”
Startled, Shaley poked his head out of the window and looked up. Sure enough, a flying object appeared in the sky, about three thousand meters high. The Heavy who spotted him could only see a vague shape, but Charley saw everything about it. It was a US Predator carrying two Hellfire air-to-surface missiles. He could even read the Star-Spangled Banner on the Predator's body, as well as the number and number of the army unit to which it belonged.
What should come is always coming, this is a battlefield dominated by the US military, and some people will certainly not stop after the failure of last night's operation.
"Shoot it!" Tang Yuyan decisively gave the order.
Out of a Ford Raptor in the back crawled out of a 101st Bureau agent, who carried a crossbow shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missile on his shoulder.
The predator in the sky suddenly gained altitude and flew to the side.
"It's gone." The voice of an agent of Bureau 101 came over the communicator, "I haven't had time to lock it on. ”
Tang Yuyan said: "Stay in the carriage and stay vigilant in case it comes back again." ”
Uninhabited. The flight speed of the plane is not fast, and once it is locked, it is difficult to get rid of the fate of being shot down. The person who was controlling the Predator must have spotted the ground and avoided it.
Xia Lei's brow furrowed, "It doesn't seem that its purpose is to attack us, it actually has a chance to launch missiles, but it doesn't." It may be spying on us. ”
"Those guys are really haunted, they blatantly attacked us last night, are we really bullies? If it dares to come out again, I'll shoot it down. Tang Yuyan's eyebrows were filled with a touch of evil.
Xia Lei didn't say anything, he looked at the sky, and he looked worried.
At this point, he became more and more sure that he had been targeted by the CIA. Last night's mysterious armed men, as well as the predator just now, were all coming for him. The Predator just now didn't launch the Hellfire missiles on the rack, it was definitely not the mercy of the CIA's people, but that they didn't want a charred corpse, but wanted to be caught alive!
Thinking of this, a familiar face suddenly appeared in Xia Lei's mind, and he also sighed in his heart, "CIA wants to arrest me, I wonder if she is involved?" ”
She, Liang Siyao, is a woman he is destined to never forget in his life.
If Liang Siyao was also involved in the operation and met on the battlefield, would she shoot him?
The Predator did not reappear, the ballista shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile was not a slingshot, and if it dared to reappear, it would surely turn into a pile of scrap metal. However, Xia Lei believed that even if the Predator did not come to reconnoitre, the CIA must have mastered his whereabouts at this moment, through the US military satellite system.
The rest of the journey was much calmer, and there were no unusual situations until dark.
"In front of you is the ruins of the Bamiyan Buddhas." Brad's voice came over the communicator, "Let's take a break there, we need some gas in our car, we need something to eat." ”
Tang Yuyan responded to him, "Okay, let's rest in front for half an hour." ”
The convoy stopped in a roadside clearing. Xia Lei got out of the car with a sniper rifle, he was now with a gun in his hand, and he also carried a large box of ammunition in his backpack at all times. In this land, only then will he feel a sense of security.
The Bamiyan Buddha is right in front of you, but instead of a majestic and sacred giant Buddha statue, it is a pile of shattered stones. Just from the mountain, you can see the grotto that houses the Buddha statue, which is very spectacular.
The armed men of the White Rock tribe began to get busy, filling their vehicles, filling water tanks, and distributing food to some of them. The agents of Bureau 101 were not idle, some were checking the situation of vehicles and weapons and equipment, while others were taking out dry rations and who were distributing them.
Xia Lei also received one, which was a bag of high-calorie beef jerky and a bottle of mineral water. After taking the food, he walked to the ruins of the Bamiyan Buddhas. The injury on his buttocks was not healed, and his walking posture looked a little awkward.
"What are you going to do?" Tang Yuyan looked at Xia Lei curiously.
Xia Lei glanced back at her, "Convenient, is there a problem?" ”
Tang Yuyan smiled and said, "No problem, you be careful, don't be bitten by a snake or something, and then you won't be able to do it." ”
Charleigh, "......"
The two are getting closer and better, and the scale of jokes is getting bigger and bigger.
Sharei solved the problem behind a rock and continued towards the ruins of the Bamiyan Buddhas. He was not a devout Buddhist, but the ancient and vicissitudes of the Bamiyan Buddha's ruins piqued his curiosity. This is a miracle with a history of more than 1,500 years, and since he has passed by here, he has to go and see it.
The two big Buddhas are 400 meters apart, one in the east and one in the west, the east one was completely blown up, and the west one was also blown to a thousand holes, but there are still remnants of the torso, and the body of the Buddha can be seen in front of you.
Xia Lei walked towards the Big Buddha to the west. When he came to the foot of the Buddha, he looked up at the body of the Buddha who had lost his head, and his heart was full of awe. Fifteen hundred years ago, people created this miracle with their hands and hammers, but the armed men of Santa Ita bombed it? The medicine destroys it. Why can't one faith accommodate another?
After watching quietly for a while, Xia Lei withdrew his gaze and prepared to return to the convoy. But just as he was about to leave, a piece of white stuff stuck to the soles of the Buddha's feet came into his sight.
It was a piece of chewed gum.
Who is so lacking in virtue to do such a qualityless thing?
However, it was the piece of gum stuck to the feet of the Buddha statue that made Xia Lei excited. While in Peshawar, the Russian woman used chewing gum to convey her father's message to him. What it means to suddenly see chewed gum again in this deserted place is already an obvious thing!
Xia Lei followed and ripped off the gum stuck to the Buddha's feet. He pinched it gently, and sure enough, there was a roll of hard stuff hidden inside. He followed through the gum and found the sticky notes hidden inside.
Unfolding the sticky note, a familiar handwriting suddenly came into Xia Lei's sight: Why don't you listen to my advice and come to Afghanistan? You've been targeted by the CIA's guys, and they won't let you go. Your destination is the tribe of the White Huns, the Fire Worship Tribe. I know there is no way to stop you from going to that place now, and when you get there, you leave your friends alone, and I'll let Yelena meet you.
The handwriting of this note is the handwriting of his father, Xia Changhe.
Xia Lei circled his head, and the ability of his left eye was instantly turned on, and the darkness did not have any effect on his vision at all. At this moment, he could even see a scorpion crawling on the gravel a thousand meters away. However, he only didn't see his father Xia Changhe and the blonde Russian girl Yelena.
"Hey! Did you get it? Tang Yuyan's voice came, "It's time for us to go!" ”
"Come now!" Xia Lei answered, turned around and walked towards the convoy.
This time he ate the sticky note, but instead of eating the piece of gum, he just threw it in the crevice of the rock.
The tribe of the White Huns, what kind of place is that?
