Chapter 13: No Man's Land

The program team set off early in the morning.

In the face of the vast sea of sand, when the morning sun spreads all over the earth, you will feel extremely open-minded, you will forget the troubles of yesterday, a new day, a new starting point, and let go of the persistent dreams in your heart.

"We played the tambourine and sang, I rode a horse over the hillside, the cattle and sheep in the pasture were strong, and the harvest crops were shining gold......" I didn't expect Christine to sing this Mok Wenwei version of "Playing the Tambourine and Singing", the famous American war correspondent and Xiao Ran were singing and dancing in the live video, because the car was walking, the mobile phone recording video was changed to the 4K miniature action camera that Huo Cun is now using in his hand.

Yiming was in charge of the live radio, and he put on the wireless microphones for Christine and Shiruo.

Shiruo liked some of Christine's photographs very much early on, and admired her very much as a brave war correspondent, so at the beginning of today's program, Christine was invited as a special guest to accept her interview in the live video.

They are now in the interior of an armored car, which is quite spacious and more suitable for live interviews.

The armored car is from the Flood Security Company, which is mainly responsible for the safety of their major customer Lin Wei, and the peer Star News and WP WHO each have an SUV off-road vehicle, and the other three SUV off-road vehicles are also bulletproof off-road vehicles modified by the Flood Company.

The Hummer H2 was driven by Wang Wei and carried S.D.'s communication equipment, the Range Rover was driven by Xiao Ran and carried food and drinking water supplies, and the Infiniti QX56 was driven by Zhao Fei and carried outdoor equipment such as tents and sleeping bags.

In addition to Christine, who was invited, the live trio Zheng Yi, Shiruo and Huo Cun sat in the armored car, as well as Lin Wei and Ban Ze, a senior engineer of S.D. who was in charge of the webcast technology, and Yi Ming, who was in charge of the live broadcast work. The driver of the armored car was Gavin of the Flood Security Company, a German, because of his burly figure his peers called him "Meat Shield".

Everyone's attention was focused on Christine and Shiruo's shouting, and Lin Wei sat in the passenger seat and took out her three-fold black tablet, not knowing what she was operating.

Shiruo: "My enthusiasm!"

Yiming: "Roar!"

Shiruo: "It's like a fire!"

Yiming: "Ha!"

Shiruo: "The desert of passion burns!

Yiming also joined in the shouting microphone and writhed with the two girls.

Everyone was tired of tossing, and Zheng Yi switched the show to a travel advertising video.

As a senior engineer of S.D., Ban Ze also worked with Flood, so he opened the refrigerator in the armored car with great familiarity, took out a few cans of cold Golden Bullet beer and threw them to everyone.

Everyone sat at the window and drank merrily.

Yiming took a bottle and gave it to Lin Wei, who quickly turned off the computer screen.

At this time, Ban Ze took a few steps forward and pulled Yiming back, "Don't disturb her when she looks at the computer, and don't look at her computer screen, otherwise, if you really get angry, you will feel better." She didn't stop us from giggling loudly here, and it was already the best gift to open and close our eyes. ”

Yiming pursed his lips and sat down next to Christine and Shiruo, watching Christine being interviewed by Shiruo.

As the convoy passed through a strip of land only 100 to 150 meters long, with a cliff edge overlooking the Mediterranean Sea on one side, Christine told Shiruo that she had worked here, and that a few years ago this no-man's land between Lebanon and Israel had experienced a terrible war, but now it was surprisingly calm, so calm that small wild animals came to inhabit it.

However, the calm is permeated with all kinds of anxiety, fear, sorrow, joy and hope that cannot be seen or touched.

It's a no-man's land, and most people who pass through it will never come back.

When the two armies faced off, an intermediary was always needed to do some work, and this was when the Red Cross came up to help repatriate the hostages between the two armies.

This was the point where the Red Cross carried out repatriations between Israel and Lebanon with the task of repatriating the remains of prisoners of war or fighters and then returning them to their homeland.

Christine followed the Red Cross staff through this no-man's land, a journey that took only a few minutes in a straight line, but in practice it often took weeks, sometimes months.

First, Christine followed the Red Cross staff and the repatriated people in Tel Aviv (where the Israeli airport is located) to the barbed wire fence that divides Israeli territory and no man's land, and then the repatriates were taken to the ICRC car, where Christine sat in the same car with them, with the Red Cross flag fluttering in the gentle sea breeze.

The people in the car were silent, and the no-man's land outside the car was even more silent.

Christine has been involved in this work many times, and each time it is unique and memorable.

Behind each repatriation is a story full of pain, looking at their haggard faces, Christine secretly hopes that all those who return to their hometowns will be safe in the end, and that every soldier who has lost his life should be respected. Even though nothing was revealed on everyone's face at that time, it was touched deep down every time.

"It's about people's lives and their destiny. You will feel that every moment you spend in this small area hidden from the outside world is unique, and secretly hope that all those who return to their hometown will be happy and happy in the end. Shiruo's eyes widened as she listened to Christine's reminiscences, filled with infinite reverence.

"Okay!" When Christine said this, Yiming unconsciously shouted and applauded her, and everyone in the car gave Christine a fierce applause.

"Sister, I really want to ask you for an autograph. Shiruo said excitedly.

"Okay, it's okay to take a group photo. ”

"Great. ”

Shiruo picked up the phone, and the two began to take selfies happily.

Soon they arrived at the refugee camp, and Lance advised everyone not to drive their cars in, and waited for them outside, and they came out soon after distributing the medicine.

The cars were lined up 100 meters outside the camp, and when the cars stopped, people opened their doors and walked out.

At this time, the sun was already very hot, the girls were cleaning up in the car, Christine tied her hair into a ponytail and put on a khaki men's outdoor flat military hat, Shiruo put on a pink wide-brimmed beach hat, Xiao Ran wore a black headscarf and orange sunglasses, and she was tall and leaned next to the Range Rover in a long black dress, like an advertising picture.

Wang Wei and Brian were fully armed, Ray-Ban sunglasses, desert camouflage, body armor almost to the teeth, armed with XM8 assault rifles, and walked at the front of the crowd in case of a sudden abnormal situation in the refugee camp.
