Chapter 245: Let's Go Separately
The night was relatively peaceful. When Billie woke up, Qiu Fengyu was no longer in the tent. When she got up and removed the tent, she saw Qiu Fengyu by the lake, so she walked over and said to him; "Hey, what's the situation?"
Qiu Fengyu looked at her and said, "Let's clean up and get out of here quickly." ”
"What did you find?" Billie looked at Qiu Fengyu in surprise, then took the telescope in his hand and looked in the direction he was facing. A convoy of about five cars was coming this way. In front were two armored troop carriers with the inscription "US", behind them were three heavy trucks, while in the back were also one armored troop carrier of US.
"It was supposed to be a military vehicle for the troops stationed nearby in Iraq to deliver supplies." Billie was a little puzzled and said to Qiu Fengyu, "Why should we leave quickly?" If we had traveled with them, we might have saved a lot of trouble. She looked at Qiu Fengyu, "Maybe we should wait for them here." It would be even better if they could go to the Green Zone. ”
"I don't think so." Qiu Fengyu sneered, turned around and went to pack his things. After packing up the tent and getting into the car, he took out some prepared bread and water, then stuck his head out and said to the woman who was still standing by the water ready to wash, "Get in the car, you stupid chick." ”
These words angered Billie, and she immediately jumped up, rushed towards Qiu Fengyu, jumped into the passenger seat of the car, and glared at Qiu Fengyu: "What did you just say?" ”
"Didn't hear clearly? I said, get in the car, you stupid chick. Qiu Fengyu glanced at her talkatively, "Do you hear it clearly now?" If not, I can repeat it again for free, stupid chick, we're leaving, get out of here, and don't mess around with those guys. ”
Qiu Fengyu started the car as he spoke, preparing to leave. But Billie, the chick, suddenly jumped out of the car and said angrily to Qiu Fengyu: "Listen, Chinese." This is my job, this is my first time in the field, you're not a CIA, you don't know how we CIA do things. Although you are the leader of this operation, I am more professional than you. I will judge those people as our people, and those people as our enemies. ”
"Have you already made your decision? Are you sure you want to blend in with that group? Qiu Fengyu glanced at her and blinked, "This is the so-called intimacy after meeting the troops of US imperialism?" Are you going to reveal your identity to them? Want them to escort you all the way to Baghdad? ”
"Yes, so what?" Billie said to Qiu Fengyu with some anger.
"Well, we can split up. I'll go to Baghdad on my own, and you'll be with them, and eventually we'll meet in Baghdad and keep in touch at all times, okay? Qiu Fengyu made a phone call, "Keep in touch with the phone, remember, we can't touch any word about the task, whether it's with those people or on the phone." ”
"I know better than you, man." Billie snorted, thinking that this would be fine, and agreed.
So Qiu Fengyu nodded at her, and he could finally get rid of this woman. He was already accustomed to acting alone. And with such a partner, it is more beneficial for you to act alone. So without saying a word, he took out some food and water, gave it to Billie, and drove away.
Seeing Qiu Fengyu driving away, as if she couldn't wait to get away from her, Billie couldn't help but be indignant, but fortunately, the US military convoy was getting closer, so she took out a white silk scarf from her duffel bag that she took off from the car, and waved it desperately.
The armored personnel carrier stopped, and a sergeant came out of it, who gestured to Billie to get her out of the way. And the convoy of cars continued to move forward. The sergeant who had stopped was also going back to the car. Billie rushed over and desperately explained her intentions.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to hitchhike, I went to the Green Zone in Baghdad. I have a job there. Fortunately, she didn't tell her real identity, but kept explaining, "This is my visa." As he spoke, he handed over his passport.
The sergeant took his passport and looked at it, then turned back and gestured into the car. Then he turned back to her and said, "Okay, we can take you along the way, but we'll stop at Karbala." Then you'll have to find another way to get to Baghdad. Or have someone send a car to pick you up. ”
"Thanks, no problem." Billie was so happy that she wanted to walk towards the armored troop carrier.
"No, no, ma'am, you can only sit in the back." The sergeant said to her, "There is still room for the truck in the back, if you are not afraid of crowding." With that, he beckoned the last truck to stop, and pointed to Billie to sit in the co-pilot of a truck behind him. The driver was an American GI with the rank of corporal.
"Hey, hello, my name is Amina? Farahani, you can call me Amina. It was my first job as a translator hired by the Iraqi government to go to the Green Zone in Baghdad. You know, the attitude towards women's work here is a little different than you in the United States......" Billie said her pseudonym and shook hands with the corporal.
"Well, ma'am, what's your name, what are you going to do, don't explain it to me so clearly, I don't care, since you're sitting here, you have to listen to me. All right? When I don't let you speak, you'd better just keep your mouth shut. The corporal didn't seem to like Amina, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn, I've had enough, this damn place." ”
So Billie obediently closed her mouth. So the convoy set off again and continued to drive forward. Billie took out bread and water and invited the corporal who was driving next to her to eat. The corporal was very polite, gobbling up bread and water, and a large part of the food in Billie's hand went into the guy's stomach.
The car was driving in the desert all the time, and in the afternoon, even with the air conditioning on, the heat was unbearable. The sweat kept dripping. And these GIs were also wearing uniforms and helmets. They are body armor, and such equipment makes them even hotter.
But they didn't dare to stop. Once stopped, it means that the likelihood of a possible attack is greatly increased. So on the way, I rely on eating a little food to sustain myself. The water had long since been drunk, and the corporal's lips were dry as if they were cracked. Billie also dried up like a fish from the shore.
In the evening, they finally reached a town, Semavo. It is the capital of Muthanna province, located on the Euphrates River, and is a sacred place for the Sunyas, but it is not very peaceful, with several terrorist attacks, car bombs and suicide bombs.
As the car drove into the outskirts of the town, several wheeled armored vehicles stopped them. The soldiers, though heavily armed, looked like American troops. But their faces are not Westerners, but Asians. One of the guys with the rank of lieutenant came over and spoke into them in stiff English.
This is where the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are stationed. The greenery here is still very good, because of the unique conditions here. So the feeling is much stronger than the yellow sand. It also makes people's emotions relaxed. Japan is an ally of the United States. So Billie felt like she was in a much more relaxed mood.
So the convoy, led by this convoy of Japanese patrols, entered Semavo. Then drove into the camp of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in Semavo. There were many people in the city, which was in stark contrast to the desolate state before. Many of the buildings have been kept intact. It's a bit of a bustling town.
After getting out of the car, the sergeant who had greeted Billie earlier arranged for her to live in a very simple house. It is a residential house near the barracks. Looks like it hasn't been inhabited in a while. The sheets on the bed were still a little dusty. The sergeant squeezed Billie over the shoulder and said, "You'll have to do it, but we'll leave tomorrow." ”
"Thank you, I didn't know that if I didn't meet you, I might die in the desert." Billie expressed her gratitude to him, "What's your name?" I think...... When I get to Baghdad, I will remember you. ”
"Owen? Sergeant Baroman. You can call me Owen. "The sergeant is actually a very enthusiastic lad. He looked around and said, "The camp here can only provide such conditions, if you want to stay better, you should go to the express hotel in the city." There's also internet inside. Very good, I've been here a few times. ”
"Thanks, you're a nice guy. Irving. Billie looked at him gratefully, "I'm here to work, not to enjoy, so there's no problem with such an environment." It's just one night anyway. ”
"Well, enjoy your private space. And also...... Restaurants here...... Well, you're an Arab, and you should be familiar with the customs here, so I don't need to explain anything, goodbye, Amina, you're so beautiful! The sergeant smiled, then smiled at Billie and turned away.
Well, this sergeant is indeed a good person, or maybe because he thought Billie looked pretty. Even with makeup, it looks beautiful. But Billie didn't care about that, she was very vigilant and checked the inside and outside of the room, and found that there were no bugs or cameras before she calmed down.
Seeing that it was getting dark, she went out to buy some food and came back. If you go out a little later, it will be very unsafe for a woman to go out again. And generally speaking, Arab women rarely go out alone at night. Especially a solitary young girl like Billie. This will incur some unnecessary trouble.
Walking around the streets, looking around, I noticed that I seemed to be nervous, and some of the shops here were closed, and by night, they were basically closed. Because the nights here are still the same unsafe. I bought some food and water at a shop and hurried back. (To be continued.) )
